so the stakes are huge. >> how do you think that both barak obama and michelle obama can help recreateat existed back in thousand eight, that certainly helped barak obama become president. >> you know what, i think the energy is creating itself. and i think kamala harris and tim walz are doing it i was very much involved in president obama's 2008 campaign and saw on the ground and in his convention, just how much passion and excitement there was. it? it's the same thing now, i feel it everywhere i go and there is a joy, there is optimism, there is a hopefulness which unites these two campaigns in 2024, as in 2008, people want to be hopeful about the future. they want to believe in our country as kamala harris and tim walz do and as barack obama and michelle obama do, they don't want to tear it down and it denigrated as a third world country, the way donald trump does that's not who we are and so that excitement, that enthusiasm is palpable and i don't think it's necessary for the obama's to injected here but they will stoke it further and their appearance tonight is going to be extraor

in barak obama, because they're both good or raters. i mean, i wouldn't i wouldn't know how to deal with that, but i got to tell you what the excitement that the democrats have been building up over the past month or so. it is now here as we stand in chicago former president obama knows exactly how to deal with it. you bow down. that's what you do and that's what he did last night. he was like, i'm the guy that has to follow michelle obama. this is hard mark preston, great to see you. thank you very much. with us. now, here is congresswoman mikie sherrill, democrat from new jersey. thank you so much for being with us this morning. you've been here with us for a few minutes watching in when we said that today is governor tim walz his day. i saw you nodding. what are you looking forward to? >> what do you need to hear from the governor? >> oh, my gosh. i think i just want to hear from the governor what i've been hearing from the governor, he is such a great public servant which speaks to my own heart as a veteran, he served for 24 years i

y el expresidente barak obama serÁ el orador principal esta noche en el segundo dÍa de la convenciÓn la hija d biden presentÓ al presidente en la convenciÓn. jorge: nuestro corresponsal tiene lo mÁs importante de la convenciÓn hasta ahora. luis: aquÍ todavÍa resuenan los ecos de las palabras de el presidente biden. Único curso que biden hubiese preferido no haber tenido quedar. los delegados lo ovacionaron durante cuatro minutos sin parar. Él es senador de nevada. >> vamos a seguir en los prÓximos aÑos trabajando para que mÁs jÓvenes se interesen por la polÍtica. luis: biden es ahora el pasado del partido, harris el futuro. esta noche el expresidente barak obama le irÁ a los delegados por quÉ dejarles ihmir smith—marsette la primera presidenta electa del paÍs. esta es la noche de un grupo simbÓlico Ética de estado confirma a viva voz la nominaciÓn le harris. >> vamos a luchar para confirmar que la vicepresidenta kamala harris es la prÓxima candidata a presidenta por el partido demÓcrata. jorge: se encuentra con nosotros. algo que tal vez muchos no pueden entender es quÉ es lo que hac

el expresidente barak obama contrastÓ el discurso de kamala harris.helle la que dio el discurso mÁs persuasivo de la noche. >> [habla en inglÉs] >> nos encanta obama, pero muchos querÍan que michelle fuera la presidenta. reportero: los demÓcratas quieren contrastar la visiÓn humana de los inmigrantes con la que ofrece donald trump. >> hemos perdido la sensibilidad a las cosas que Él ha dicho, pero que alguien te hable de esta forma y diga que los inmigrantes no merecen derechos es importante. es una indignaciÓn. ilia: quÉ se espera del discurso de tim walz esta noche? enrique: la campaÑa de harry cree que muchos estadounidenses van a identificarse con tim walz y muy parecido a muchos otros en el paÍs que han pasado tiempos difÍciles. por supuesto, los republicanos dicen que esta imagen es falsa. ilia: exfuncionarios del gobierno del ex presidente donald trump han estado hablando en la convenciÓn nacional demÓcrata. jorge: tambiÉn hay republicanos que hacen campaÑa para evitar que donald trump regrese a la presidencia. reportera: son republicanos que n

obama, you go back to the fact that barak obama obviously chose joe biden as his vice president. biden then chose harris as his running mate as well. and all of this culminating in this moment with the vice president formally accepting her party's nomination for the presidency with her big speech on thursday. and i do think the two can certainly connect as barrier breaking figures of their own. brock obama would certainly understand better than most people in politics what she is trying to do. you hear, trying to become the first woman elected to the presidency, not to mention the first woman of asian and black descent. so i think there are a lot of sort of personal connections there for those two. and i think just separately for michelle obama, the fact that we are going to be seeing her at this convention speaking on behalf of the vice president it's going to be in interesting moment because she really did not play an active role in president biden's former reelection campaign until it ended about a month ago. so i think just even the visual of her playing such a big political

it was phenomenal so what would be barak obama's thoughts on the evening?ell, actually, i'm so glad you asked because if you noticed actually, i spent a lot of time talking about what donald trump is going to do if he wins, he is going to tear this country down and we must remember that this election is about being your brother's keeper, being your sister's keeper get out to the polls, make your voice heard and realized that in america we have a choice. and that choice is to defend our democracy. thank you so much. >> thank you. thank you. former president barack obama, know what would donald trump? i'm in response be to barak obama well, i will jd it was sympathetic dnc she's made stopped last figure of pig i will tell you that barak hussein obama, hussein obama he gave a nasty speech. >> she was talking a lot about various things. it's totally natural. yeah. have kamala harris, i talked about it in this set, the national association of black journalists. we don't even know why is it black india, nobody knows, but it's a, sad thing. what's happening with t

specifically, then senator barak obama. she was door-knocking for him when he was running the president in 2008. this is a relationship that's gone on for quite some time absolutely. >> i should say that i was told that his speech is net right now, clocking in at under 30 minutes. so for president obama, that's i pretty short speech. i think we went to listen to this video. >> okay. with his watch this video. it's called the fighter enough and i just had to laugh because i'm like you don't know my sister kamala had been a hard and tough prosecutor in let me to county prosecuting men who were pimping younger girls and raped this calmer wanted to make sure that murderers and child although abusers face meaningful accountability and consequences for those actions. >> one of the cases that she had early in her career here was wear a man had scalped his girlfriend and see ended up getting a conviction, getting justice for that woman she came san francisco to protect victims and she was elected to be district attorney of san fran

i mean, obama, barak obama, the president, literally said passing the torch. so it's not subtle with michelle obama. there is something that she did which was almost we're passing the torch over joe biden, she didn't mention joe biden. >> yeah. >> that was hard not to notice, right? she had zero mention of joe biden, the person that her husband put on the ticket and sort of elevated him to this new potential in his long storied career. and yet barak obama did make sure to dedicate several paragraphs of the speech to joe biden and to give him a tribute, perhaps a, that was one reason why michelle obama didn't feel it was necessary. she, it was the husband's speech, but also we know that michelle obama saw her role here as far different. it wasn't to check every box of political speech and that's the thing about michelle obama. she's not a figure, she transcends politics in many ways, and she understands the power of that. you know, when she walked out on the stage, i thought about her book tour when it came out the best-selling book, how she played two arenas l

but barak obama is still the goat. and i'm expecting to see that still the g.o.a.t. all right. eight years. i'm really also interested in hearing what michelle obama is going to say. and this hall is going to be curious as well eight years ago. the message that i think a lot of people remember was the, when they go low we go high and i wonder for you, looking back on the last eight years, if you think that that worked for democrats, if you think that democrats followed that, always, well, i don't know if we always followed it, but i think even mrs. obama says, well, that was kinda misinterpreted. that's not what i meant. but we have to meet people where they are. and i think this kind of overly precious view about politics that the other party is going to be basically insane and we're going to be the civilized party i think worked to an extent. but right now, i think people want to see fight people want to see joy. they want to see a little bit of of possession, and they want to see a little bit of swagger and the democratic party being on its front foot and over the last month

speeches by former firstly shell obama and former president barak obama is much more ahead after this quick break yes we doing this don't. >> all i'm still not really trust the number one out of real estate professionals trial download the realtor.com app today when the sau dust settles and the engine finally roars the thing you care about most is a job well done but when you get your tools from harbor freight, something about the job feels a little different your wallet because we believe no matter what you're working on, you need high-quality tools at a great price. and that's what we're all about whatever you do, do it for less at harbor freight its pods biggest sale of the summer save up to 25% on moving in storage for a limited time in the white pods has been trusted with over 6 million moves they don't wait, use promo code big 25 to save visit hod.com today. why do 80% of nfl players choose asleep? i'm for smart bet because the higher my sleep by q score, the better i play. >> but that's not the only reason he likes to slide firm. >> i like my side soft sleep number. >> does tha

i mean, you can see that it's a lot like 2008 with barak obama. you don't have to articulate who she is or identity at every visit, every single visit. but she can do something nothing, donald trump can't do. donald trump is the oldest candidate in american political history for president of the united states. one of the things that i used to say, donald trump and joe biden were unable to do. and i believe it was a product that their age was give a vision for the future. and so look, people know who donald trump is in for a long period of time, democrats were stuck in this mud where it was subject for donald trump. we don't have to do that anymore allow kamala harris to articulate what a future looks like under her administration, because people are tired in the quote, fannie lou hamer, again, sick and tired of being sick and tired. this is the dystopian view of this country is not one that i recognize but the racism the race card that donald trump place is still a tag for my republican friends. i think america just doesn't buy it anymore, but we'

so that's historic in and of itself, even more historic than barak obama. but i think the real historic nature here is that is her message. a reporter asked me the other day, can you summarize it in one sentence? and i said, no, i can summarize it in one word, freedom. >> this used to be the, one of the great things that republicans had going for them. >> this time. because of the repeal of the dobbs decision because of the restrictions put on abortion she is going to run on freedom and the freedom to stay out of our business just stay out of the business of women and families and it's an incredibly powerful issue. and i think it will be historic for that reason. >> alright, land came mark. thank you so much. glad you could be with us today have fun next. >> thanks for having me all right. >> well, there's gonna be a lot of fun, but there's also a lot of trepidation because purity is ramping up ahead of the start of the dnc on monday, cnn's whitney wild has more on how chicago is preparing for the big event you're at the united center. it is an all hands on

and barak obama. the specific messages that they were trying to put out there, not just about the republicans, but perhaps to their own party we cannot get a goldilocks complex about whether everything is just right we cannot indulge. >> are anxieties about whether this country pretty will let somewhat like camila, if a parent or a grandparent occasionally says something that makes us cringe we don't automatically assume they're bad people we recognize that the world is moving fast that they need time and maybe a little encouragement to catch up now, my parents, you heard just want to say for the record, they never say anything that transfer. but for those out there who might have that experience in all seriousness, i thought that was both of those points were really noteworthy, particularly what president obama said he's acknowledging that society and culture are moving very, very fast. and young people in particular don't have a lot of tolerance for those who can't keep up, right? >> i mean one of o

obviously obama is always you know, like barak obama yes. >> so she's i would say she's a heart, but she is kinda like the fighter in the heart. she was kind of giving not just the audience, but surrogates and perhaps vice president harris herself, the script to use and it was a script that evolves empowering women, empowering people of color, empowering people who believe in civility, sort of a permission structure for some maybe moderate republicans or suburban housewives to also vote for the harris ticket and the room was electrified and obama himself made a joke saying like a mentally ill person dumb enough to follow michelle obama. it was sort of true. it took her leg two thirds, three quarters of the speech to warm up and get the crowd where where she had been the room was completely mesmerized by her and shelby talcott, i want to show everybody a little bit more of what we heard from michelle obama, because the rallying cry do something became a call all in response throughout this speech, we can listen to a little bit of what that sounded like. let's look we've got to do if w

there was 16 years to go where barak obama, in 2008, was able to win. but in 2020, joe biden actually came very close in that race in north carolina with trump's. so that's why there's a huge focus there, but i do want to shift gears and tell you what he also told kristen holmes yesterday, which was he admitted about rfk junior, that he would actually fully consider putting him in as his administration also said, he would welcome his endorsement. take a listen i would love that endorsement because i've always liked him would consider putting him in the administration you're asking me a very unusual no question. i haven't been asked that question yet. >> i like him a lot. i respect him a lot i probably would if something like that would happen he's very different kind of a guy, very smart guy and i would be honored by that endorsement so john and sara, i mean we haven't heard that from donald trump getting reminder that earlier in the day yesterday, nicole shanahan, rfk junior's running mate, had said that he would rfk junior was considering potentially

and barak obama is the headliner tonight. >> what do you expect to hear from that former president? >> well, i don't i haven't seen his speech, but no, but i think the important thing for every everyone who makes it presentation at this convention is to talk about that contrast. the contrast and rights. a contrast on social security, medicare, medicaid, the contrasts on tax policy, which is going to be a big fight because in 2025, we're going to decide whether or not we're going to continue to give away the store to big corporations and rich people like republicans do when they have power or they're going to give the middle-class attacks yet give some relief to working families. all right. senator bob casey, thanks very much. are turning on the music that's not to wrap you up. this is not the academy awards, jim, good to be with, gonna be good to be with you. thanks, senator. appreciate it very much coming up. a historic endorsement. a leader of the nation's oldest latino civil rights group joins me to explain why they're supporting kamala harris be right back we've all been program

jorge: maÑana va a hablar al expresidente barak obama. kamala harris va dar el discurso de cierre.tos es aumentar el pollo hispano. —— el apoyo hispanos. donald trump tiene 38% del voto latino. reportero: en un calendario electoral que se mueve de forma vertiginosa, los demÓcratas llegan con una misiÓn en mente. presentar un frente unido para su candidata. esta noche va hablar el mismo biden que hasta hace un mes era el candidato del partido. >> esto es algo sin precedentes. y no damos nada por sentado. estamos haciendo todo el trabajo y estamos muy esperanzados. reportero: las ola de entusiasmo creada por harris en un mes estÁ reflejÁndose en las encuestas. muchos votantes hispanos hayan dejado a biden y ahora estÁn con kamala harris y todavÍa pueden armas. —— todavÍa puede ganar mÁs. esta maÑana tim walz se hizo presidente en una asamblea hispana. el secretario de educaciÓn dice que es mucho lo que estÁ en juego. >> para mÍ la decisiÓn es bastante clara y tenemos que entender que tenemos la voz, tenemos el voto. tenemos que estar presentes o podemos perder mucho. para mÍ el mensa

obama right here in his hometown of chicago. i'm told is going to be delivering a strong affirmation for the harris for this walz a ticket. he is going to be talking about the way forward for democrats. often offering something of a roadmap, if you will, that's going to be followed by the next night on wednesday, former president bill clinton, i think we all remember in 2012, during a very difficult reelection for barack obama, it was bill clinton who came in and gave this validating message. for why voters should galvanize around him. so that bookended message from those two former presidents certainly will be interesting. but also doug emhoff, he's going to be speaking on the second night of the convention. also filling in some of those blanks about who kamala harris is. yes, she's the vice president. she's well-known somewhat among democrats, but not to the country at hole so i'm told that that is what they are going to try and use this week to do. it's really their last scripted week of the campaign to try and remind people

she's got hillary clinton, bill clinton barak obama saying, there is room for anyone here if you're more of a bill clinton democrat, don't worry, i'm not too far out of the mainstream. you can it'd be with me. so i think they're really running a smart race in this should be a very big week for her campaign, but donald trump's back out on the campaign trail after basically playing golf for a couple of weeks because i think he's feeling that she's got serious momentum and actually, i mean, this is a chance for vice versa harris to define her herself to a lot of people who maybe don't know much better. >> yeah you know, just to the excitement point, if you're organizer, it's a lot easier to make a phone call with excitement to convert that to a volunteer shift that then actually closes that gap and speaks to voters is which is what they're going to have to do to win this race because it is extremely tight, so it's a lot easier to do that and then from a depressed base is questioning whether that should even be the candidate. but on this point, i was looking at the main speakers. you have to

, and former president barak obama.avid axelrod, it was there was criticism of sort of the producing of the event last night tonight though. i mean, it is not only sharply done, there was a huge muscle flex of when the roll call was done going live to the llarena where the republicans mentioned had taken place where vice president harris and governor walz spoke. >> yeah, whatever the hiccups were last night, they've certainly addressed it here, but this is the second consecutive convention where they've done really creative things with a roll call, which was it's usually buzzkill for viewers and so on. the republicans threw it away and they're convention. so and the speeches are moving along. it seems like they're moving along in time which they didn't last night. and it's a well-conceived mix. it's interesting to hear the former chairman of american express and ceo following burning he sanders. >> well, you left out pritzker. i mean, that was that was what was the most amazing admitted. it goes to the ad sanders out he

if some of donald trump's previous statements questioning where barak obama, president obama was born. and then we'll talk on the other side. >> the fact is, if he wasn't born in this country shouldn't be the president of the united states. there's a real question about the birth certificate. three weeks ago when i started, i thought he was probably born in this country and now i really have a much bigger doubt than i did before. >> why doesn't he show his birth certificate? so we know that ultimately did lead barack obama to show his birth certificate wondering in terms of how you think is best for kamala harris and her campaign to respond to these attacks. once again these veiled swipes at her ethnicity, at her background how much how much emphasis, how much effort should she put in in combatting this? >> well, in my view, i think that she should be straightforward in responding. but i would not allow donald trump's racial resentment to meyer hurricane to the sea. i don't think that she should be quiet in the face of these attacks, but they should shouldn't spend all of her time res

you've got former president barak obama, former president bill clinton, michelle obama illinois governor, i mean, tell me more about the lineup here and the positioning of all of these speakers and hillary clinton well, certainly you know, you have the the what i would like to call the elders of the party, hillary clinton, bill clinton, at this point. >> now, barack obama really the folks school who, brought, the party to where it is now. but again, there has to be this passing of the torch that we're going to see this week were younger democrats, you're going to probably hear more from younger down bruhat's when we have heard in past conventions. and this whole idea that the democratic party is the party of the future. now whether or not they can convey that we'll see that over the next four days, but it will be interesting to see the likes of michelle obama delivering this. did this passion, this oratory that she doesn't necessarily speak often. but when she does speak, people do listen. and then of course, the straight talk that we'll hear from barak obama two members of his own party

he was angry at the speaker, the former speaker, and he also was angry at former president barak obama as well not because there was reporting in that he that the former president conveyed any concern. we don't know that, but more so there was an expectation that he might come to his defense and sort of a sort of concern that he might be sort of still involved in encouraging other democrats let's take come out and voice their concerns. so there's absolutely factions when it came down to this absolutely. >> rachel, i don't know if this is worth re litigating given that the party is in a way trying to move on but it strikes me that all of this will be on display, so to speak. at the convention, right? clintons are going to speak. obama is going to be biden's going to speak and pelosi, i don't know if she'll probably walk into applause. like, what are we going to be looking at with all of these people, personalities coming together next week, the way that i see it is that president biden made a very difficult decision to stop running for reelection he put him he put his country over self,

dem from barak obama to bill clinton hillary clinton, and president biden, who will appear with harris on stage tomorrow night at a much at a m different convention then was originally planned for him while donald trump tries to keep some of the spotlight on himself this week with his own events. last night at a rally in pennsylvania, he made numerous personal attacks against harris, which we'll get into later, but he did also make some policy argument since that perhaps some voters may find persuasive you say she's going to lower to lower the cost of food and housing starting on day one. >> but day one for kamala was three-and-a-half years ago so why didn't she do it then joining me now, democratic leader of the house of representatives, hakeem jeffries of new york, leader jeffries, thanks for joining us at your party's convention is set to kick off tomorrow. >> do you think that the democratic party is in a better place now with vice president harris at the top of the ticket then it was with president biden at the top of the ticket. and have you talked to president biden since he dro

obama, who she even said, quote, i want to see a paper of him in front of a firing squad.did reach out to her campaign. we asked about this stuff and what she said and they said they didn't respond to it, but they said what? north carolina voters are concerned about is the education of our children. >> it's pretty extraordinary video and it pretty extraordinary record there. andrew kaczynski. thank you so much for your reporting. everyone of the kfile, great work on this. have a great weekend. >> the news continues, so we're gonna hear it over to kaitlan collins, the source starts right now

his supporters in recent days have affectionately described him as barak obama. that's not to his jewish faith, of course, in a demeanor and tone, they say mirrors former president barak obama, but progressives have raised concerns about his support for school vouchers, which they argue undermines public education and his position on the war in gaza. but he could appeal to moderate democrats. you also have, former nasa astronaut mark kelly. he is a senator from the battleground state of arizona. he brings military experience and he's taken positions to the right of the administration on the border. his wife, the former congresswoman gabrielle giffords she was shot and gravely wounded in a 2011 assassination attempt in both of them have really become strong voices on efforts to thwart gun violence then lastly, you have minnesota governor tim waltz and he's become sort of a dark horse of sorts in this contest. he's extremely funny, a great speaker, a happy warrior, and a strong surrogate for harris. many have described him as the midwestern dad that america needs.

and if you're looking to read it like a president barak obama has got you covered the former president released his annual summer reading list on his instagram account, continuing the tradition from his white house years, he recommends eight fiction and six nonfiction titles, books exploring global and american history, culture, religion, gender identity, and more. nonfiction raids include the wide, wide say about kevin james cook and his exploration of the 18th century. for fiction, obama recommends the ministry of time, time travel, love story, and the god of the woods by liz more a thrilling about a thriller a missing child whose disappearance sent shockwaves through different communities. there you go for if you're heading to a beach this summer now, the humble garden longmire became a high octane racing machine in southern england. this weekend drivers from more than 40 team's tour around the track at 50 miles an hour and a custom loomer in well, our endurance race, the races structured like any endurance motorsport with three drivers, but team taking turns behind the wheel and co

obama. so to have it here in chicago, and the fact that people are coming here, they're calling a kid tate number of calls i've gotten from people late in the game here, st. gotten. now i want to come is that right? >> so there was the 96 convention chicago, obviously, another one that's looms large as the 68 convention here in chicago is overshadowed by violent clashes between police and protesters, then protesting the vietnam war. this time, thousands of anti-israel protesters are expected to descend on the city. how worried are you about them disrupting the actual convention, including the uncommitted delegates inside the convention hall. >> well, i know reporters like to harken back to 68 because there's a lot of good footage at two point. >> we also hearkened back to the 92nd year. >> did you got the macarena in there but but the fact is it's a whole different ball game here we are 56 years later. we've got a very, very different situation. the democratic party, the democratic party hon

obama. i think kamala harris understands as you'll see tonight, that there's no benefit in rolling around with pigs because you both get muddy and the pig likes it. so she's going to stay above the fray and she's going to talk about a vision for tomorrow. and i'm just going to stay here the at both the nabj for inviting him in platforming him and him for having the audacity to come into our house and disrespect black women in front of black women. i'm livid at it and i've been that way for nine years. and i just want something new it is remarkable to see this this elderly white man who's lived most of his adult life in a very gaudy pentose in new york i mean, to the face of a report from abc using the same words he's used to describe black women and many women who challenged him and stand up to him, which is nasty attacking there are character i want to play another thing. >> he said, this was in response to a question about whether he would take a cognitive test was she failed to log jam? >

obama saying that he wants to go to places where he thinks he can move the needle. so anticipate a lot of movement on the campaign trail over the next several weeks, but at least in the immediate future, wolf, the focus is certainly going to be on that september debate. >> yes. good point. priscilla alvarez reporting for us. thank you very much. not on another breaking story, we're following donald trump launching new attacks on kamala harris during his campaign, swing through the southwest. cnn's alayna treene is in las vegas force. that's where the former president held an event earlier this afternoon, alayna, how is trump reacting to kamala harris is convention speech last night, which was so well-received oh well. >> well he clearly didn't like it and you could see that not even just from his remarks today, but also last night he did really a live play by play of reacting to harris's remarks in real time, you saw him posting several times on truth social, attacking her remarks, but also went and did an interview with fox news after that where he continued to sla

obama. but fast forward to now and 2024 and today in chicago, in a room full of black journalists list trump questioned vice president harris's identity, saying falsely that she quote, happened to turn black just a few years ago moments ago, we heard the vice president respond for the first time. >> donald trump's spoke at the annual meeting of the national association of black journalists and it was the same old show the divisiveness and the disrespect and let me just say the american people deserve better the american people deserve better the american people deserve a leader who tells the truth a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts we deserve a leader who understands that our differences, do not divide us that's how she's responding. >> trump for his part, not backing down from those comments actually has been leaning in ever since he left that room but let us take you back to how it all began today at that convention of the national associa

obama. >> now chicago, you know, is her hometown.nd so returned there to speak at the dnc here tuesday night that evening, theme, a bold vision for america's future future with me now, writer at katie kate anderson brower, she's the author of several books about the white house, including first women, the grace and power of america's modern first ladies is kate. thank you for being here this evening. an exciting moment to think about what she might be saying given her last very memorable speech, there, her favorability rating, it's at 55%. that is one of the highest among politicians. and she's not even one how is she able to resonate with voters so highly well, i mean, when she left the white house, it was 70%. >> it's astounding how much people trust and like her and there was a poll, actually the usa today did it showed that people value her opinion more than taylor swift, more than beyonce? they really respect her because i think partially because she doesn't want to run for president. right? she hates politics she hates the figh

next, north carolina hasn't gone blue in a presidential election since barak obama beat john mccain 16 years ago. but there's a reason that vice president kamala harris chose to make her first major policy speech there today is signs giving democrats hope this election cycle. when we return ryan and mikah are taking onto hotel. >> what if i took on one of the hotels and you did the other two teams, we are going to be bryant 100 days and the best hotel when 100 day hotel challenged special series continues tuesday night at 8:00 on hgtv he one. remember, i don't want surgery for my dupa trends contraction to i want to be able to lay my hand flat i want to non-surgical recovery for i want auctions non-surgical options and five and non non-surgical treatment as an auburn okay. did a second i'm going to pick let's go take charge of your treatment. if you can't lay your hand flat, visit, find a hand specialist.com to get started she grew up in a middle-class home. >> she was the daughter of a working mom, and she worked at mcdonald's while she got her degree kamala harris knows what it's lik

obama type choice. but maybe you have other thoughts and what about the fact that she didn't pick josh shapiro, who it comes from, a very important state of pennsylvania well, josh shapiro, florida. obviously upsetting part of the democratic coalition. but jim, it's been what 16 days of betting or 16 days of thinking about this for kamala harris and i think we're at the point where democrats will pretty quickly reunite and support the ticket whether they had a favorite or not. imagine if this had been three months or four months, or five months, you would have warring camps this morning. so that is that's right there. the old rule, which you've heard many times because you're older than you look is is that you do no harm with the vice president, will nomination, do no harm i'm sorry. >> despite what this one in that one and the other one, her saying, i don't think he does any serious harm at all. and is a plus in other ways, thank wisconsin and michigan, if he did nothing else. but campaign and and camp

obama. it's like it's like if i did try to do a really bad impression of brock obama, that what he said that's great. i love how we get the real time quotes here. i mean, look i don't know. >> brock obama was probably our most gifted order of my time side. it's kind of a weird insult, i guess he got to use the magic word, he got to say, yeah, we're that word that they need to wrap j.d. vance with consultants every which way personality consultant. and obviously i keep seeing these these weird ways. he's sitting weird there it is. again, he needs a posture coach disguise, slouched over like you sit in the corner in an interesting way, eye on that as well. >> but look, i loved the way josh shapiro was quick on his feet and he embraced it and it was just he was talking like he was sitting at your kitchen table or walking down the street with talking to those neighbors? he was a real person. yeah. any embrace any of us remind south talk like walter cronkite. i think we take it as a compliment. s

>> rana, we know that former president barak obama likes to make the case for democratic candidates as he's done since leaving office. and tonight i'm told he will give a forceful articulation of why he believes the country and democrats should elect a kamala harris? yes. within any individual issues like the economy and democracy is really going to be laying out the stakes and drawing a contrast with former president donald trump. but something that we have seen him do, of course, back in the 2016 campaign, he made a similar argument for hillary clinton. of course, that was not as successful. but this speech, i'm told right here in his hometown of chicago will be slightly different, slightly more elevated, but it is going to be a forceful argument and this is something that is really the ark of the relationship between kamala harris and brock obama. it was 20 years ago this summer that she was actually at his convention seeing him for the first it's time when he had that breakout moment back at the 2004 convention, they became friends over the years. now he's one of her trusted adviso

and barak obama. lot of people are talking about there's a long line. the line getting longer and longer and longer each day. but i want to give you some sense, just where we are now. there are so many delegates that are coming in virginia. you see idaho michigan, lot of the swing states, the all all-important swing states expect to see the large contingent of folks here. we're also expecting a special guests minnesota has this really famous and i know you liked sports. jake you ever heard of the purple people? well, eaters. you ever heard of them were expecting one of them to show up. we're going to try to grab them a little bit later. john very, very, very exciting. >> the purple people orders. i'll be back here 7:00 p.m. am. eastern for our coverage of the second night of the democratic national committee's convention. our coverage now continues with wolf blitzer and kaitlan collins in the situation room

hussein obama last night taking shots? he was taken shots at your president and so as michelle, you know, they always say sure please stick to policy, don't get personal. >> and yet they getting personal all night long. these people do i still have to stick to policy and elements interesting is that was actually the types of conversations he appeared to be recounting multiple times throughout the course of his really, hour plus speech talking about how advisers were telling him to stick to policy. >> his republican allies have, and that he doesn't want to. he took it an informal poll. the crowd said of personal attacks. there all. right. phil mattingly, thank you very much. in north carolina, jake we listened. stevie wonder. >> yeah the timing on that nice now i don't have to listen to myself instead of stevie wonder let's talk about this. >> all nazi be wander as much as i would love to see the floor too. little stevie bakari, let me start with you. let's just play some of the sound demonstrating how democrats are talking

. >> he likes to go to his rallies and talk about barak hussein obama. i mean, that is the former president's name, but he says it derisively. i mean, we could go on and on. do you buy this? >> do i buy this? yeah. i don't buy anything from a man and i think i think he must have just seen some of the new polls come out and is it's almost pathetic and somewhat sad. and the less we talk about that man, i think the better, but jim, he played, he created a campaign that was going to be about age and he got it. yeah, the problem is he's on the other side of the table now. and what has transpired is one of those remarkable moments in american political history, which is something i knew a year-and-a-half ago if we could just make that change, what would result and many of us expected to be at a funeral this week and it's turned out to be a birth. >> i do want to ask one more question about governor walz. he will speak to this arena the tonight as he formally accepts the democratic nomination for vice president i mean, republicans have been trying to go after h

barak and michelle obama, the stars of the party will point to the future. and i think more represent the future versus pass kind of dichotomy that harris wants to present because, you know, for all of yesterday's kind of legacy building of joe biden, it was a reminder, frankly, of the where the party was just a month ago. you have people like hillary clinton saying that there was such energy in the country, but it was also a reminder that some of the very people on the stage where actually advocating against kind of unleashing that energy when they were supporting joe biden staying in the race. now that he has had his legacy moment in terms of monday night, i think you're going to see tuesday through thursday really point towards the future really point towards harris, his bio, and i think cried. i think tried to re-introduce our to the country and the way that goes beyond the kind of good vibes that we had yesterday. i think it has to happen on the policy front, but it also has to happen. i think on just the presidential readiness front to say that this is

this is former first lady michelle obama, and of course former president barak obama. and they are going to be speaking as a couple that can speak to the importance of the presidency, the high stakes of the election coming up in november. and what i'm being told by a source is that when it comes to former president barak obama, key will very much lean into why he believes kamala harris and tim walz are ready to lead the country at this moment. as for michelle obama, the first lady who we haven't heard actually much from during this campaign cycle, she is going to lose lean into this idea that she believes kamala harris is absolutely ready for the job and that she can help the country turned the page. i'm told on fear and division, and she's really going to stress that she believes harris is one of the most qualified candidates to ever seek the presidency. now, we do expect a both obamas to be involved in different ways. is that throughout the course of the campaign, as we get closer to november, the former president and particular is looking for ways to zero in on thos

they do you know, she didn't pull punches and neither did barak obama and i've heard this a lot from democrats. i personally disagree. i think we should just elevate the distance scores if we all just get in the mud and play with pigs, that will become our politics. but there is something that fighting back donald trump is a puncher. he doesn't get counterpunch very often and it feels like democrats are prepared to punch back. >> now, wordsmithing though i wonder what you thought about it, scott, because when i heard that the affirmative action of generational wealth, it actually gave me a sense of george w bush's, the soft bigotry of low expectations. >> yeah, well, i was sort of pondering the duality of democrats last night when she said that because you had bernie sanders who closed his speech by decrying the billionaire class then jb pritzker, what allow those were three-and-a-half million dollars. >> it's like a third-generatio n super wealthy billionaire. and then she comes out and decries, you know, the affirmative action of generational wealth, i guess it's a big tent party,

we still have barak obama and bill clinton. but i met joe biden 1987. that was my first campaign for president, 87, 88. that was largely covering governor dukakis, what spent a little time with joe biden in iowa. my next campaign was 1992, and i got to know hilary clinton and the first lady of arkansas so she of course, then went on to be a senator secretary of state presidential nominee we still have barack obama and bill clinton to go. but this was the first chapter in the transitional handoff you heard joe biden at one point, talk about the assault weapons ban he passed with dianne feinstein. she is gone now are replacement in the senate spoke tonight on nancy pelosi just released a book. she's here, she's very high profile but she's the former speaker now. so this giant generational change in the democratic party that has been fomenting for a long time is starting to come into focus of vice president harris came on stage tonight. alexandra ocasio cortez was part of it. a lot of younger democrats on the stage tonight too. so it's a little bit of both

. >> and former president barak obama. wednesday's line of features, former president bill clinton and the vice presidential nominee, minnesota governor tim walz. it's all leading up to vice president commonly harris formally accepting her historic presidential nomination on thursday, cnn's convention coverage continues right after this very brief break. >> tomatoes are they a fruit or a vegetable? >> vegetable that's trouble for food? actually, you're both, right, wolf blitzer botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit, but in mixed v hadn't the u.s. supreme court ruled that a tomato is a vegetable because it's of how it's used in cooking. >> and i didn't know that. >> now you do what i'm so glad you asked people are afraid of what they don't know. i am fighting for our used to have the bare necessity tools exposing used to with three technology crypto blockchain is imperative for their future. >> were offering education in an industry that can impact their lives today. this is how we can have a generational impact fast. t

obama back in 2008. >> but which donald trump, only won by about a point and a half in 2020 kamala harristhey're saying now is the time to chart a new way forward, talking about building an opportunity economy. she described a number of policy positions that candidly may be difficult for democrats to accomplish depending on who gets control of congress. but nevertheless, she tried to differentiate herself with the former president attacking him at different points. >> yeah, she certainly did try to try to draw that contrast there and really personalize her vision of the economy, trying to impress upon americans that she sees them and feels then we have a great panel here. we're going to talk about it more we come back right? >> and mikah are taking on to hotels. >> what if i took on one of the hotels and you did the other two teams, we are going to be bryant 100 days and the best hotel when 100 day hotel the aisle challenged special series continues tuesday night at 8:00 on hgtv when you get your tools from harbor freight, something about the job feels different. your wallet, whatever you

obama, and former first lady michelle obama.ican congressman adam kinzinger sources say kinzinger is slated to speak on thursday night, the same evening that vice president kamala harris will address the convention delegates, kinzinger, who is now a cnn political commentator was one of ten house republicans to vote for former president donald trump's impeachment for his role during the attack on the u.s. capitol. i'm joined now by former republican congresswoman for virginia farber. comstock, congresswoman, great to see you good to see you. all right. so this is remarkable, if not unusual. i mean, what important or signaling do you see in fellow republican kinzinger speaking at the convention and on the same night as the democratic nominee well, adam has been very clear and i support them in saying that donald trump could never be near the oval office again, he was on the january 6 committee and highlighting all of the details on how donald trump is unfit for office and what he did i'm not day he's also been he's now we fell it'

and i agree he you can hear that he learned from barak obama and that somebody else i heard speak recently in atlanta was senator jon ossoff who also has the obama cadences and way of speaking even if the word you all comes more naturally to ossoff, then shapiro you know, what did they say you know, great artists steal or whatever, bad artists borrow great artists steal. so i mean there it is. >> i mean, it's not, it's not unfair at all. and i think that, you know, good on, him for recognizing that, hey, i learned from this. i borrowed from this. and one of the things i think that was particularly effective that i was actually curious how it will translate know obama and, you know you all who have covered him as well can, can also understand is and he calls an answers to a crowd in a way that is specific. oftentimes to black audiences. i wondered if shapiro could do anything like that and he went, he said, you know, i care about my faith, the crowd started yelling at them to preach. i mean, he i don't want to preach and everybody starts yelling. >> rage. rage seems to me now i maybe had to

and former president barak obama says, he's an inspiration. has been president so the ford foundation says 2013 overseeing billions of dollars in life changing grants. now the search is on for his replacement after he announced that he would step down at the end of next year. i asked him about his legacy and the transformative philanthropy that he's helped steer darren walker, you change the dna of philanthropic giving by moving away from just giving, just, you know, paying back and attaching the the mission to justice and fight. not generosity but justice as well. how do you come up with that idea that idea came up because i was reading a rather obscure speech by dr. martin luther king that he gave just a few months before he was assassinated in 1968. >> and he spoke to a group of philanthropists said the. following philanthropy is commendable but it should not allow the philanthropist to overlook the economic injustice which makes philanthropy necessary. and so what dr. king was saying was something different than rockefeller or carnegie mel
