thanks so much, meagan, we appreciate it.hat a beautiful sight to watch kate walk into that stadium, the standing ovation that seemed to last forever. will you describe what that meant to the people of england? >> reporter: well, i think it was that moment where we had a bit of lump in our throats. it is not unusual for there to be a standing ovation on the finals day when we expect there to be a member of the royal family. but this just didn't feel like the ordinary. this felt extra special, extra loud, extra supportive. it meant a huge amount, not just to the crowds there at wimbledon and those gathered at center court, but to the nation. many of whom were tuning in. of course, we had a football later that evening. but to see them there, it is looking resplendent in purple, with little princess charlotte and her sister. very rare i see the princess lost for words, but she did look quite overwhelmed by that moment. i'm sure there was a lump in her throat. it was very special. >> she looked stunning, you said she looked beaut

. >>> first, though, we get to meagan casela this morning with breaking news. >> good morning.he biden campaign is now holding firm this morning and saying that president biden is remaining in the race for his re-election. a long new campaign memo out this morning outlines that despite widespread concerns, the party has "no plan for an alternative nominee." the campaign's battleground states director acknowledges the uphill battle ahead, saying they have their work cut out for them, but he shares some internal research finding that the voters the campaign cares about the most are still planning to vote for biden in november. i want to read you a full quote. "joe biden has made it more than clear he's in this race and he's in it to win it. moreover, he's the presumptive nominee. there is no plan for an alternative nominee, and in a few short weeks, joe biden will be the official nominee." now, this sort of internal research and reassurance about a viable path to victory, this is what democrats have been craving from the campaign, but it's definitely not clear at this point wheth

focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what i said and the substance of what i said, meagant has become anti-child. it is simply true it's become way too hard to raise a family. >> really what i'm trying to get at here, it's important to be pro-family as a country. of course for a whole host of reasons, it's not working out for some people. pray for those people and have sympathy for them. i think that means we should be pro-family generally speaking as a party and i think our country has become particularly hard for parents especially under the policies of kamala harris. i think that he was on a podcast where he was asked about aoc's statement that she said in the past that, i don't know about having kids with climate and the world in turbulence. that was his response to it. but it was brought up by trey gowdy about this story with the nuns, greatest americans who love america, what about george washington, never had kids, does that make him a bad american? he said no, people don't have kids and are great americans. he wanted to explain himself. when you are explaining, you
