[applause] for those of you who don't know me, my name is gretchen witmer.me my friends called me big gretch, so you can too. i am proud to be the governor of michigan, and i'm proud to be here with all of you. we are working our tails off to elect kamala harris, our next president. [applause] while i'm here i will just say go birds. with one caveat when they play my liens i'm just saying. okay. let's talk about what we agree on and that is that this is a place pennsylvania knows a little something. that's something we share in common. pennsylvania and michigan are a lot alike. i wantre to tell you a little bt about me and why i do the work i do because it's about every single one of o us. i was raised in a bipartisan household. my dad worked for a republican governor and my mom works for a democratic attorney general. the value of hard work. my first job was at a lumber yard. i also stocked the shelves at target and worked the line at the royal fork buffet. i did an internship at the afl-cio and that is when i fell in love with public policy and understood

remember, in the final years, governor witmer emerged as a hero. she stared down the threats to withhold key covid aid. she withstood violent threats and domestic terrorism. including a plot to kidnap him to assassinate the governor. all of that is detailed in her new book, what i have learned about life, leadership and everything in between. thank you for being here. you picked a doozy of a week to have your book come out. we will get to that in a moment. i want to ask you about the state of politics. the editorial board has been unstinting in the call for him to step out. there is another op-ed out today. the latest polling showing 74% of voters believe joe biden is too old to serve. >> they think we understand that. >> i went to dc with a number of colleagues. we sat there days after the debate. he is and that and he is going to fight like to make sure that we continue the work he has begun. i know that it rattled a lot of people will. it was the worst concerns about having two older candidates running for this important office yet he has been r

if it is not witmer, should it be shapiro? >> it could be shapiro. it could be north carolina, arizona. there are plenty of states she needs to win. if you're looking strategically at this campaign today and let say it is a reset back to where donald trump was shortly after his convictions on 34 felony counts, she has got to win pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. we know that. if she has a shot at putting talented a -- putting a talented, young, ideological democrat on her ticket, she ought to take one of those and it makes sense witmer would take yourself out of the running. it is hard to imagine democrats would want to have a ticket with two women. certainly plausible. i would not be opposed to it. you have josh shapiro, successful governor, widely popular in a state of pennsylvania that you have to win. if she can put together a coalition of the blue wall and pick off that district in nebraska and not losing the other states -- not lose any other states that biden won in 2020, she is president. it is not a hard formula to figure out. it is int

witmer apparently took herself out of the running though if kamala harris came to her and said i want. who do you think she will pick? >> i think she will pick one of the governors and maybe mark kelly. all of the governors bring something to her. they are all centrist, they all have governed and divided state legislature which is helpful for you if you are the vice president which is what she should be looking for and you have to look at mark kelly who probably has one of the best bios you could want in politics and is an all-around american hero and he brings arizona and put that back into play and he can talk tough on the border. i think it will be a governor or mark kelly. >> john: abc news and ipsos poll asked people about the favorability of the potential candidates. gina raimondo is not included but if you take a look at it across the board, pete buttigieg has the highest favorability though his net is lower than people like kelly, witmer, and on. but that suggests that maybe kelly, may be pete buttigieg are the number one and number two pick. he gets to arizona but i think she

gretchen witmer shut everybody down except for her husband who wanted to go boating. not shut everyone down she let her husband go bass fishing don't forget. >> does not rule with the iron fist of doctor jill but also hunter plays chief of staff. can you believe he is hunkered down with hunter who we hear may have approved were money for ukraine? he is now calling the shots. >> think about the mess we are in. we have joe biden who is the face of the country and running the country but not really but don't worry we have jill biden his not really a doctor and up or no junkie calling the shots in the background. this will turn out great. >> is just what the deep state and that's why, seems to be the perfect choice they are telling her mad him president we need to launch missile strikes into russia and she wants to be tough like hillary yes sir. let's go. lights out. >> i'm glad it is backfiring on them with their dia hiring that was a horrible idea i said it was horrible at the time you cannot mess around you need the most qualified person who could be black or indian or

to do so would be unfair to gavin newsom, gretchen witmer or whoever kamala harris picks as her running mate. tonight, we have learned that yvonne, and milania trump will be inside pfizer forum for the first time in the family box and at the end of the program tonight, they along with vance's family will join the former president on stage for the balloon drop. should be quite a show, want to watch tonight and we can do that on fox business starting at 7:00 eastern. neil: grady trimble in milwaukee. let's go to peter doocy. the president of the united states has covid again at a time a lot of people are saying you should be doing more than self isolating on a beach, maybe you should isolate out of the democratic party. peter doocy with more on the fat. >> reporter: in the last minute the washington post is reporting barack obama is telling people privately he thinks biden's path to victory has narrowed to the point he should think about stepping aside. at theo's is reporting biden could drop out by this weekend. the campaign says that's not true but you mentioned covid. in the last 24 ho

some of the names being mentioned include pete buttigieg , josh shapiro, gretchen witmer and governor westmore. let's get smarter. former communications director and cohost of how to win 2024 podcasts and also the communications director for hillary clinton's campaign and simone sanders townsend is here. she is also the former spokesperson for vice president harris. what did we learn in this first full day. >> we learned she can raise a lot of money in a short time. that show the enthusiasm gap that was lacking has come back in a wave of enthusiasm in 24 hours. it is a sign of support and momentum and that is a big figure. you have heard from her marks, a little bit of the sense of the race and sense of the opposition. a lot of people i have spoken to is not quite at the top of the ticket yet. they think that vice president harris can prosecute the case against donald trump. she certainly used that language today, talking specifically about her background as a prosecutor and her time as attorney general and listing the weaknesses that she sees in donald trump which were weaknesses tha

we governor witmer to put her name forward? ~ , ., governor witmer to put her name forward?people about that, and we have had a - forward? we spoken to a few people about that, and we have had a bit i about that, and we have had a bit of about that, and we have had a bit of a mixed reaction, really, but what! got a sense of yesterday was the support for donald trump, obviously at the rally where there was 12,000 people here, but it is been an opportunity, the whole situation with the democrats, it is another line of attack, although trump had previously been fairly muted on the whole situation with the democrats, yesterday, his speech contained some poignant moments where he was clearly ta ken poignant moments where he was clearly taken advantage of crisis in the party. today, donald trump has given a statement and said that kamala harris is as much of a joke asjoe biden, he said the on each other�*s record and if biden is not fit to stand as candidate but he's not fit to be president, something in art republicans have said today, and going back to that speech he made yester

a lot of big names are not even leading candidates for it was gretchen witmer and governors from pennsylvania and governor newsom and kamala harris weren't even topping the list >> he believes the vice president pick would involve strategizing, despite the talk of a different direction, her constituents are split. >> summer urged that i do this since i merged i'm not. in the end you have to do what you think it's best. >> reporter: she added some voters are frustrated there wasn't a bigger focus on the primary. now, democrats are scrambling in the 11th hour. >> the national convention starts august 19. officials want to officially nominate at the beginning of the month to make sure they qualify in ohio. should president biden step aside, the obvious front runner would be kamala harris but according to this poll, she may not have the numbers to beat donald trump. >>> trump is holding his first campaign rally tomorrow since the assassination attempt. it will be one week since he was shot in the air in the first rally alongside jd vance's. they will be in grand rapids, a battleground state . the

they found that kamala harris did better than joe biden, but the senator from arizona, gretchen witmer, wes moore, josh schapiro, doing far better against trump then kamala harris did it coming into discussion of the democratic party. not so fast. let's not be so quick. let's go through a process here where we consider all of our possibilities. coming to a nominee and a running mate. who would be the star of the team. >> she stops the bleeding. let's pour our resources into the senate and house races to be a check on a future trump presidency. >> putting her in knowing she likely would loose it donald trump was to mark that is one potential. frantically racing to get in here, kamala harris being sort of the presumed air, it may start the fundraising up again. nobody else can take that money except for that campaign. you may be able to figure out down the road how other folks, you know, new cell or whoever, how they can get their hands on their money. but at the moment, the only people that can use that are joe biden and kamala harris. sort of putting her name, we are not there yet, but

governor witmer now shooting down reports that she believes michigan is no longer in play.his is a big deal. as biden's campaign looks to first lady jill biden as their secret weapon at this point, his campaign is obviously under serious pressure right now. pollster lee carter next. >> i have never seen numbers this bad for an incumbent president during my lifetime. i mean, that mental health to be president, just 27%, you might say, okay, that's low but a lot of people thought biden was too old back in 2020. these numbers look nothing like this back in 2020. these numbers were bad already and the truth is, allison, they have gotten considerably worse even in just a few days after that first presidential debate. s making that's passed down through the generations. we stood on some pretty broad shoulders to get to where we are at today. on ancestry i was able to actually put together our family tree. each person is a glass worker. that's why we do what we do. we can't help it. the glass blowing - that's a part of our dna. it's in my blood, it's in my history. it's my job to

does that if you look at all the other democrats witmer, newsome, buttigieg, their numbers look more like biden's numbers. they lose outside the margin of error right now, donald trump only kamala harris pulls this race right now of those tested within the margin of error, and that's fascinating because it was just over the weekend that the biden people put out a head-to-head comparison with the other possible candidates to show the biden was the only one that could be trump. but live by the pole, die by the poll. now, kamala harris is at least according to this one pole, one ball, right? more likely to be able to give trump a run for his money. and jamie, you're hearing the democrats are not only concerned obviously about top of the ticket, but we have to remember there are whatever 33 senate race it is 435 house races. there's a lot on the line beyond just the white house. >> couple of things democrats are worried about getting out the vote. if joe biden is at the top of the ticket and people are not energized to get out the vote that can hurt them down ballot the other thing that

governor witmer is so popular in michigan, she won reelection easily. which he entertained being vp? >> i will let her officially answer that question. i will say to you she has repeatedly said she is not a candidate for any office this id year. when rumors circulated last year she was being vetted and have been asked for material, she was not aware of it, i was not aware of it. >> how about this? congresswoman, would you want to see her as vp? >> i love gretchen whitmer. she has been my friend just for not a few years but for decades. i think she means it when she says she is not a candidate for any office this year. she got reelected for the office of being governor. >> i hear you on that and i respect that. i am asking you. would you want to see her as a candidate for vice president because of how, your friendship aside, because of how important the state of michigan is to the democrat's prospects for reelection, to get back in the white house, the democrats need michigan. because of that, would you want to see gretchen whitmer as a he vice president

. >> reporter: walking along the golden gate bridge, dana witmer is headed to a spot that looks unremarkable to most. for her, it is sacred ground. >> being out here alone . nobody with them. >> reporter: here, at the 97 lamppost is where matthew stood for the last time before jumping to his death 17 years ago. >> i woke up to the feeling that everything was wrong . >> reporter: since then, dana has been fighting for a solution, hoping to spare others the same pain. on monday, her wish finally came true as the city commemorated the completion of a suicide prevention that on both sides of the nearly two mile span. for dana, the moment is bittersweet. >> i know it is a good thing that fewer people will die here , but i didn't get that , this is great feeling. it just wasn't . if it was here, so many of our children would not have died. >> reporter: the nets are already deterring people from jumping, according to the golden gate bridge highway and transportation district , each year on average there are 30 suicides from the bridge, making it one of the most deadly landmarks in the world. in 202

as the polling takes place over the next few days or the next week or so, and we pull gretchen witmeri'm curious if she may even have responded about governor whitmire, congresswoman dingle, but we pull josh schapiro, mark kelly, westmore. i think if one of those candidates, whichever one of those candidates bears best against president trump, i think that that is where democrats are likely to end up. as we sit here this evening, vice president harris enters this race or this mini process or this process as perhaps a front runner. i am not prepared to say that she will be the one until we get some numbers. it became clear that they were in a super top race. that cannot be the reason the process has happened the primary happened. president biden was nominated. you are telling me that the reason he is exiting is because he cannot win. why have we not seen that happen with candidates in the past. >> we will give an opportunity. that is my theory of the case. i have been wrong before and i may be wrong on this one. the one thing that i do know is he will not be our nominee. that question

presidential nomination, i think the smart money is on a governor from a swing state, pennsylvania, schapiro, witmer, michigan, those are the front runners. vetting needs to go on before we get there so the question is to consolidate report behind harris. paul: support from biden, he will remain president until january. what role do you see him having? charles: he will have to play this. he will have an important role to play as someone passing off his legacy. there is a lot of -- of -- of affection for joe right now, so, you know, he has a role to play in reassuring democrats this is the way. harris has to show she is going to be president if they are going to be successful so biden cannot be too dominant. he will have to give it his all -- an important thing to do is to be president and show through performance the difference between a democratic and republican president whether harris or anyone. the best thing biden might do is go light on the campaign and doubled them on being president, dealing with the issues facing this country. paul: i just want your thoughts on what a trump harris matchup l

amna: michigan governor gretchen whit witmer defends biden's candidacy, dismissing the idea that she could be a potential replacement. >> a lot of people are playing fantasy football. they are coming up with i like this person, this person, this would be a great team. none of that is relevant because the only person that decides whether joe biden stays in the race is joe biden. geoff: and as nato leaders gather in washington, we speak with the president of the czech republic about ukraine's path forward and what a potential second trump presidency could mean for the alliance. >> major funding for the pbs news hour has been provided by -- >> consumer cellular, this is sam. this is a pocket dial. well, somebody's coverage with o contract. that's kind of our thing. have a nice day. >> a successful business owner sells his company and restores his father's historic jazz club with his son. a raymondjames financial advisor gets to know you, your passions, and the way you bring people together. life well planned. >> the judy and peter bloom coker foundations, upholding freedom by strengthen

but already you've seen some of her strongest potential opponents, like gavin newsome and gretchen witmernt. they don't want to also turn her aside, because black voters and black women especially are at the core of the democratic party. so if you nominated a bunch of white people to replace her as the presumptive nominee if biden drops out, that's going to be a major issue and cause democrats to lose significant voting blocks. it to lose significant voting blocks. , ~ to lose significant voting blocks. it sounds like it could be uuite blocks. it sounds like it could be quite an — blocks. it sounds like it could be quite an interesting - blocks. it sounds like it could be quite an interesting dnc. be quite an interesting dnc this year. be quite an interesting dnc this year-— be quite an interesting dnc this ear. , �* . ., this year. yes, i'm excited to attend. this year. yes, i'm excited to attend- i'm — this year. yes, i'm excited to attend. i'm sure _ this year. yes, i'm excited to attend. i'm sure it's - this year. yes, i'm excited to attend. i'm sure it's not - this year. yes, i'm exc

brian: if you are governor witmer, if you are the governor of kentucky and fancy your self presidentn't have big recognition, haven't thought about how you want to be profiled. you only have a moment when america is ready and you are ready at the right time. they run again and lost and labeled as a loser, why what i want to take over this mess, democratic party that stands for nothing after 3.5 years of epic failure. you want to pick that up, run with that? legally i understand it. the only person that can utilize the biden money is harris. who is going to go, it's going to be the governor from kentucky will say to the vice president, step aside, i am better than you, what's left of the democratic party as they build each other up. ashley: msnbc host micah burzynski gets annoyed when her guest suggest kamala harris could replace biden. listen to this. >> we go with someone completely untested, completely inexperienced because they seem cool? i'm not going to do that, someone who has performed this will -- >> the semi-middle ground is kamala harris, there's some experience debating re

tickets he could put his money behind, not trump, cory booker, president, gina romano vp or gretchen witmerresident, wes moore, vp, kamala harris is having a genuine moment. i can get behind her as president but not because biden dropped out. she wants her to sync with, relate to, make people think that she is capable of doing not only her job as vp the president too. ashley: no comment on that. let's take a look at these markets, all very muted today, we are slowly positive now but markets closing at 1:00 pm eastern. david, you say it's time to take some profits and get defensive. why nauert how do we get defensive? >> reporter: good morning, we witnessed 33 all-time highs year to date for the s&p 500. we've seen a nice upside. we've added $11 trillion in market since the october lows. that's more than the entire stock market of china. we've seen significant increases just in the short timeframe since october so everyone knows it's an election year. as we look toward the second part of the year we are likely to see challenges ahead. risk diversification, strategy diversification and tax di

but there are people like andy bashir from kentucky, schapiro from pennsylvania, kelly from arizona, witmerd to see if she is up for it but a combination of two of those people. that is my feeling, but the deal is done. i don't think anything more can be done. neil: would it make a difference if she hooked up with one of the people you mentioned? >> i have always felt, i forget who said it, the vice presidency is a warm bowl of spirit or whatever they said but i don't think the vice president makes a difference. when dan quayle was picked, it didn't matter. it only matters when it matters. and now, so no, people -- neil: it's like teddy roosevelt. he turned out to be pretty good but you said something when you tweeted out you have to be enthusiastic or hope for a political appointment when asking for money. i am neither. the donors can release these funds, it's all yours. keep my million. that's pretty strong. >> it is true. to go out and have a fundraiser, to raise $5 million, sounds easy but is not easy. it's very difficult. to do that you have to have motivation. you have to believe or r

michigan governor witmer said it wouldn't hurt for biden to take a cognitive test. senate leader schumer tells donors privately he wouldn't mind a new candidate. nancy pelosi says biden's future is up to him but please make a decision soon, we are running out of time. the list goes on. striking that so many democrats knew about the president's problems but stayed silent, they were complicit in the cover-up and the only reason they're coming out now is they think they will lose the election. they are not thinking of the good of the country, they are thinking of their own political future. there's one group that's firmly behind biden that that's the left. aoc, bernie sanders, l on omar want biden to stay and vice president kamala harris, and they can rely on the socialists. tonight it is all on the line. biden has to convince his party and his country that he is capable of leading america for another four years. that's an uphill struggle. there must be many democrats who wished he called it quits after one term. he could have walked away a hero but he didn't. democrat

witmer/harris are two tough women. my instinct is, ooh, i don't know that would work. this ticket it would. i think it changes the conversation in the fall. >> i also think generation seekers -- >> the safe picks are going to be governors. >> yeah. >> andy bashir is a safe pick, mark kelly, maybe a josh shapiro is a safe pick. bashir, two-time senator, son of a politician. easiest person to put on a ticket if you're building aen airplane that takes off, he's safe. >> i'm giving an argument from whitmer a politically engaged family. >> right. >> and here's one for thing for whitmer she actually comes from a swing state. >> fair enough. >> getting doom and gloom, talking about inflation and using headlines and audio. all right. get ready for tonight. gentlemen, thank you very much. >>> still ahead what the fbi says it has learned about the internet search by the shooter. >>> plus, what went wrong? calls for the secret service director to step down. jeh johnson joins us in what should happen next. and will a new speech bring a different message? what to expect from donald

. >> gretchen witmer and josh shapiro were out in force making the case for kamala harris in pennsylvania. >> kamala harris is the reason we are making huge investments in infrastructure and roads and bridges from harrisburg to lewisburg. she will never stop fighting for our freedoms because she cares about us. here is how i know. vice president harris has dedicated decades of her life to public service. as district attorney she put crooks and sex offenders behind bars. it makes me think maybe that is why donald trump is so scared of her. >> she is not only ready, she is ready . you know who else knows? donald trump. you know how i know this? he is afraid to debate her. it is not just because she is a skilled debater and a courtroom prosecutor who knows how to make the case, he is afraid to debate her because he can't defend his record. he is afraid because she knows the truth about how he failed when he had the keys to the white house. >> jasmine crockett of texas, a member of the house oversight committee and the civil rights attorney. she is here. you were fighting injustice in the sta

. >> reporter: walking along the golden gate bridge, dana witmer is heading to a spot that looks unremarkablemost, but for her, it is sacred ground. >> being out here alone with the fog and nobody with him, it is hard. >> at the 97th lamp post is where her son matthew stood for the last time before jumping to his death 17 years ago. >> i woke up with that feeling that everything was wrong, because he was calling for me as he was falling. >> reporter: since then, dana has been fighting for a solution, hoping to spare others the same pain. on monday, her wish finally came true. as the city, rated the completion of a suicide prevention net on both sides of the nearly two mile span. for dana, the moment is bittersweet. >> i know it is a good thing that fewer people or know people are going to die here, but i didn't get that this is great feeling. it just wasn't , so many of our children would not have died if this was here. >> reporter: the nets are already deterring people from jumping, according to the highway and transportation district, each year on average, there are 30 suicides on the bridg

cognitive test every day in this job, are you open to taking another test before the election, governor witmer of michigan said it would not hurt to take a test.>> well, two things, one, i have taken three significant and intense neurological exams by a neurologist. and in each case, they say i'm in good shape. okay, although i do have a little problem with my left foot because it is not as sensitive because i broke my foot and did not wear the boot. but i'm good. i'm tested every single day on my neurological capacity, the decisions i make every day. you talk to my staff, all of you talk to my staff, sometimes my staff talks a lot, but the fact of the matter is, i don't think you have them telling you that all the major ideas haven't been in part initiated by me. i remember i said i'm going to south korea and we are going to get japan and korea back together again after essentially having hostilities toward one another. i'm going to move and see if we can expand it. you know, the only thing age does is help you, it creates a little bit of wisdom if you pay attention. so, the point i'm making

biden getting no support from governor witmer. congresswoman slotkin said biden will lose michigan.state of play? what is the vital state? >> what is going on right now because no secret the left is great at gas lighting, not always telling the truth, this is the only thing i never agreed with slotkin on, trump is beating the president. the real issue is a scare tactic which what she's trying to do is create fear that if we don't move forward quickly, we have an opportunity to rehire trump. it is a scare tactic. i can see it and i'm sure so many here in detroit see as well. you brought up the issue of uaw. here's what i think. to get the head of that organization i have a chance to talk to those workers who say they are very dissatisfied with this administration, dissatisfied with the tv mandate because they translate into loss of jobs, 30% to 40% of worker jobs are gone. more gas lighting of this administration has been a failure the last four years. we when the president is coming detroit, what crowd might he draw? if it was trump, lines out the door and they would be waiting outs

next in line, but we are going to put a white guy like gavin newsom or a white woman like gretchen witmerneil: trump folks might celebrate the division, disunity, sniping, and the party goes on to lose no matter who is the nominee. >> reporter: funny thinking about the rnc next week. in 2016 there was a bit of division. ted cruz challenged trump for the nomination, spoke and refused to endorse trump. that didn't last long, now ted cruz is a big booster of trump. we have more than a dozen democratic lawmakers who called for biden to withdraw from the race. if kamala is the nominee, the democrats are trying to say polls are showing, we don't that's not true. approval ratings are worse than president biden's which are pretty terrible. neil: they chose the right person to be there election editor. kelly jane won't be getting any sleep this election year. i want to draw your attention to the record-setting pace we have going, all three and record territory. at&t is a big story. all of its cell phone customers text records were exposed in a massive data breach, trying like the devil to find out

gretchen witmer and josh shapiro tend to be doing better.e democratic process of walking that ticket and then they can get decent numbers. at this point in time, given two thirds of democrats want biden to step aside and three quarters of americans are concerned about his mental fitness for the office. at this point in time, the democrats are banking on the idea that almost any alternative might be better than biden. >> a quick question. polling we know can be accurate but we have also seen it show different pictures. come november, how do you think these poles will shape up? >> we should take them with a grain of salt. there was always a margin of error. what we see is a trend. biden is behind in all of these 14 states. >> thank you for being with us this morning. i'm sure we will talk more in the next 100 days or so. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> with head over to a look at the weather. a nice day today. but a warm up on the way? >> a warm up is on the way. let's enjoy today and realize how lucky we are in the bay area. i know you we

. >> they may throw gretchen witmer at you. they may throw gavin newsom met you.hey may throw michelle obama at you. >> i would not be worried about any of them. they have an open border policy. they have a high tax policy. they have a bad military policy. the whole world is going woken their world is going well. they are spending money for things that do not work. the whole thing is a mess. >> president is 1000% correct. the policies will not change. the sad reality in this modern democratic reality is they could nominate a dead person and it would not matter. they are decided by party elites and they speak with one voice. voters are the least important voice inside of that party. they only listen to the donor class. george clooney, nantucket, elitists like the obama spirit the d.c. power hungry elitists like pelosi, schumer and the democratic party, your boat does not matter. that is why unions, african-americans, hispanic americans, young people, they are switching to donald trump. the deadlines and regulations surrounding changing a candidate on the ballot, th

. >> michigan govenor witmer is behind president biden's candidacy but says maybe its would help to takeognitive test. >> should he have some people suggested just go ahead and take a cognitive test and demand that donald trump do the same? >> i don't think that would hurt to be honest. at the end of the day. you know- >> you think he should take a cognitive test? >> don't think it would hurt. >> the press conference will start at 6:30, about an hour later than it was originally advertised. all we know in terms of questions is there will be more than four. neil? >> neil: you would hope h.r. than four. we will see what happens. peter thank you very much. i know you will be in the room when that guess down. to dchad some democrats are stibbing with the president and others who seem to be sticking it to the president. chad, what is the latest? >> reporter: good afternoon. meeting between the biden team and senate democrats across the street from the capitol today. the meeting wrapped up just about two hours ago and so far, peter well frp is the only senate democrat calling for the president

replace biden and more bad news, the epic mra poll has to run pleading biden by 4% in michigan, governor witmerg down reports of her doubting abiding victory interstate, the polling is really turning against joe bi biden, because of the debate. >> because of the debate and this is not going to distract voters from the things that they saw last week and what they keep saying over and over from the biden administration which frankly the president isn't able to defend his own record of policies consistently. cheryl: we have to point out that address he was on the prompter and he did not look away from the prompter, he read it and then he turned away and walked off. a small poll of reporters, not even the whole press was in the small poll of reporters and a lot of questions, it was clearly rehearsed, planned and written for him, that's my assumption in my opinion. we're just getting started, coming up futures pulling back after green day on wall street to start the third quarter at the second half of the year. wealth management chief investment officer john lynch is here on watch driving the market

female, black, asian vice president in history, try to leapfrog her with pete buttigieg or gretchen witmer. neil: her this expressed in the past, easier said than than going to someone other than kamala harris. if that were to happen -- >> regardless, if you have an open convention where he does releases delegates, it could be messy, it could get ugly but at the end come that deadline you will have democrats united. that's the bottom line. neil: they are turning on each other like me at a buffet. to get to the prime rib. >> it's about beating donald trump. most people vote against rather than for and that's where we are. people have not decided yet. it is the distraction is on biden, it is not -- neil: talk to a lot of your colleagues and friends who are frantic, don't know what to do. more than concerned. >> they focus on their energy on biden and his mental acuity. if that's out of the picture, what happens? that's a troubling scenario. >> if that's out of the picture, the first real inflationary cycle the majority of the electorate is experienced, 20% increase in overall prices since bi

that same poll today found kamala harris, governor newsom and witmer are all pulling within the margin of error. so purely based on the numbers, there really is no obvious strategy here. and therefore there is still a major and raging debate inside the democratic party about what needs to be done to stop donald trump. today, the hill reports that house speaker nancy pelosi is working behind the scenes to get president biden to reconsider his stance on staying in the race. pelosi is not think he should exit the race but the lawmakers said she harbors deep concerns about his ability to defeat former president trump, and she is fighting to prevent the party from rubberstamping biden's candidacy before there is a broader discussion about potential he -- the damaging consequences of that decision. hakim jeffries sent a letter to his house democratic colleagues today saying that he met privately with president biden and that he directly expressed the full breadth of insight, heartfelt perspectives and conclusions about the path forward. the letter neither says or suggests that the matter of

leadingt concern about winning and some of the names they were putting forward whether kamala harris, witmer or any of these others, they are notissu talking about how these people differ on issues or agree on issues. they were nos oft talking about issues at all because they know regardless of which one of them they picked to bing e there hor they will continue to follow the instructions of the unelected shadow government that d,is in place.thin and again, whose power is being threatened by donald trump. >> jason: i just want to remind people that president biden is going to come out and make an address about this latest supreme court ruling ruling. as soon as that come shos out we will bring it to you live. tulsi come i want to show you one more add that the democratsa are actually putting out now and get your reaction to this ad they are putting out. watch this. >> i know i'm not a young man. but i know how to do this job! i know right from wrong! i know how to tell the truth! and i know like many americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up!, >> jason: i mean, what is youri
