so i want to be clear that this is not just about the democratic national convention. the chicago police department has an obligation to the entire city of chicago. every single neighborhood, we will be protecting, and we're looking at our manpower, we're looking at our allocations and we want to make sure and we will make sure that the neighborhoods who need us the most, we will be there for those neighborhoods. we will be there for the entire city of chicago. so i don't want anyone to walk away from here believing that this safety plan is just about the dnc. it is about our city. because we can't have a successful democratic national convention if we're not protecting the entire city as a whole. and we will continue to do that. lastly, i'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of the planning for the democratic national convention. i want to thank in advance our citizens of chicago who at times, especially through a lot of these events, they had to deal with traffic, rerouting their days, finding alternative ways to get to and from, to work and their patience ar

this is my home i'm eager for that 2024 democratic national convention to come to the city.he secret service is a working diligently over the past year with our local, state and federal partners to develop a security plan for the convention. we are here to unveil the security perimeter for 2024 dnc which will take place at the united center, mccormick place and other venues throughout the city. the events run from august 19 throughh august 22. the convention has does it national special security event which brings with it a full complement of resources from the federal government. these light heavily in partnership manyan of those on r team are here today p including eleanor at governor jd pritzker, chicago mayor brandon johnson, chicago police superintendent larryve snelling, u.s. secret service dnc coordinator jeff burnside fbi acting special agent in chargema lucas and joÉe with the executive director's chicago office of emergency management and communications. we have represented some other agencies to answer your questions. the premier map you'll soon see her carefully

so i'm the executive director of the democratic national convention committee.o i lead along with our convention chair, chicago native, our team here who's charged with planning our convention, building the literal and figurative stage for president biden and vice president harris. >> who selected chicago and why? >> chair harrison, democratic national convention committee and president biden selected chicago as the site of the 2024 democratic national convention after a year-plus rigorous process. we had a number of really incredible american cities who competed to host our convention this year but ultimately chicago is an incredible host city for this sort of event. chicago hosts major events all the time. they have an extensive history in hosting successful events including successful national security events like the nato convention in 2012. so there is a really robust infrastructure from the hospitality sector, hotels, great venues like the united center, mccormick place, where we will be hosting our activities. and chicago is in the heart of america. it gi

as its candidate of the democratic national convention. joe biden's endorsement goes a very long way for all of us who are delegates, who we are delegates mentioned to represent joe biden, and specifically dividing voters in our states. so he's saying something in particular, then that's can you carry a lot of weight more over. this is for somebody's already on the ticket as you've all already explained. so we've all already cast our implicit support for criminal harris. so now we're going to have the opportunity to do it explicitly. i will tell you this. so my seat party chair called me and said, would you support come with harris? i said yes. so i presume then that all of these other delegates are getting similar calls from their state, pretty chairs, who they themselves have probably gotten a call from joe biden or the campaign. and so. so this is a process that is happening as we speak. and because it is happening so quickly, i think it will be, uh, i, i think you harris as a very good shot of getting the sports he needs from the deleg

it's been more than 50 years since the last time delegates walked into the democratic national convention, not certain about who their nominee would be while some have tried to compare that scenario to this year. one of the california delegates set to attend the upcoming convention tells me she believes is a lot of unity in the party and lots of excitement. >> i the static about what's happening and energize. that's the besa says she's feeling just over one day since vice president kamala harris announced her intention to become the democratic party's nominee for president of the united states. all of it coming after incoming president joe biden dropped his re-election bid. i'm in paris all the way. that's significant because but essential in orange county native is one of the 5,000 delegates set to attend the upcoming democratic national convention in chicago. in her role there. she and fellow delegates will formally choose the party's nominee. but in a ready she and dozens of delegates have signed on to this letter endorsing harris for president. she's going to fight to win every voter

national convention. how big of a political earthquake is this as well, as you pointed out there, this is unprecedented. and the democrats are really need to move fast. as james was explaining there, there has to be some sort of process to really unify the party. because if we just go back a few days, there were voices on social media and progressives, and others on the democratic party who really were against this movement to pressure joe biden, to pass the charge. but they were calling it a bloodless crew in the making. and they may come around for uh, a comma la harris, but the time is running out so well. no. after the election, whether this worked or not, or joe biden will say, i told you so. and other democrats will say, you know, this was the right thing to do. it's all going to depend on what are the results in november. steve, we know that after is debate performance, you know bite and tried very hard to try to sort of reset the narrative, insisting but he was going to stay in the race. he though

a lot of fast-moving she has less than a month until the democratic national convention. what are your sources telling you? ? we heard from mr. whatley there. a hint of what immigration and inflation. they are pivoting to vice president kamala harris. it appears they are assuming. it sort of does flip the script for them in a way, does it not? were they hoping they were going to run against president biden? >> they were hoping it would be president biden on the ticket. this is not an i i'm not seeing it at the republican national convention. who exactly are you returning against? harris still has this tie. they're going to be able to go after her on the same things president biden has. there are so many different dynamics. she is, in fact, the still feel relatively reassured. she hasn't had the she does trail donald trump in the vast majority of it's the unknown. >> that's what's so dangerous. they're working for months and months to build this whole operation against president biden and they have to switch gears at this point. they are looking at some polling. either way

national convention. how big of a political earthquake is this as well, as you pointed out there, this is unprecedented. and the democrats are really need to move fast. as james was explaining there, there has to be some sort of process to really unify the party. because if we just go back a few days, there were voices on social media and progressives, and others on the democratic party who really were against this movement to pressure joe biden, to pass the torch. but they were calling it a bloodless crew in the making. and they may come around for uh, a comma la harris, but the time is running out so well. no. after the election, whether this worked or not, or joe biden will say, i told you so. and other democrats will say, you know, this was the right thing to do. it's all going to depend on what are the results in november, steve, we know that after his debate performance, you know, bite and tried very hard to try to sort of reset the narrative, insisting that he was going to stay in the race. he thou

so many questions ahead of the democratic national convention next month. now, what will change in the procedure leading up to end at the event? so many questions, and it's not even clear exactly how the convention is going to play out. it is taking place on august 19th and chicago, joe biden, and winning the primary, had secured. the majority of delegates committed delegates to the party, nearly 4000 of them more than he needed to secure the nomination. now, it's by dropping out of the race. he frees up those delegates, but those delegates aren't committed to vote for comma, la harris. she still has to win all of them over. and as i said, there are still some who have not committed. so we don't know how they're going to go some encouraging signs. people who were rumored as possible contenders or rivals, like josh appear or the governor of pennsylvania or mark kelley, the governor of arizona. i have thrown their support behind her, indicating that they won't be trying to take her. on the other hand, you have jo, match in a democrat from virginia who has exp

national convention. in a letter posted sunday, biden wrote he was stepping aside "in the best interest of my party and the country." biden endorsed his vice president kamala harris, who quickly received the backing of many powerful democrats but she could still face a challenge for the party's nomination. if elected, harris would become the first woman to serve as u.s. president. she made history in 2020 when she became the first black person or person of south asian descent and first woman to be elected vice president. the 81-year-old biden had faced tremendous pressure to drop out following a disastrous debate with donald trump that raised questions about his physical and mental health, as well as his ability to beat trump. biden announced the decision while at his beach home in delaware where he has been isolating after testing positive for covid. biden's decision makes trump, who is 78, the oldest presidential nominee in u.s. history. questions about biden's candidacy have been growing since at least

but again, it's not guaranteed when she goes to the democratic national convention. later in august, the delegates that were chosen and we're committed to joe biden. they don't necessarily have to support commer harris. although we're seeing this big effort to get them behind her. it's very uncertain and in a bit unusual and unchartered territory that we're heading into on that front, we may see other 3rd party candidates already. robert kennedy junior is trying to capitalize on the situation and president biden stepping out of the racing in the press release that this is now a 2 man race for president attempting to sway those independent voters. and that's really what's going to be tough for cala harris. and what she's gonna have to try to do, and probably the vice presidential running mate that she picks is likely to be someone who they might see as appealing to those one middle of the road. voters in places like pennsylvania and michigan working class folders were concerned about the economy and immigration might be more likely to go towards that kind of a, a trad

and she's right now, but she has to formerly be nominated as a democratic national convention. and so she's working the phone's right now, she's already wrapped up a number of endorsements. actually it's, it's in the hundreds now in terms of congressional endorsements, and also very many governors as well. and now it's the delegates that she's focusing on. and kimberly is so it's, it's about a month, isn't it? until that democratic national convention took us through the timeline until then what, what's going to happen? swell, she's got a name, a running age that so that's one of the bank at tasks that happened. and so all of those folks that maybe were buying for the top spots now that she really is the and has cleared the past to be the presumptive, not many, all of those people are now really buying to be her v p and running may. so what she's looking is she's sort of reading them to see who might be that possible contender for that spot. but also again, when it comes to those delegates, those delegates that were pledged in the primary contests earlier in the year. they don'
