also with us is andrea mitchell. and jeff mason, reuters white house correspondent. jeff, how are president biden's domestic challenges impacting the stakes, the conversations that we're hearing for u.s. allies? >> forgive the noise in the background. there's some law mowing going on here at the white house. but to your question, it's absolutely hanging over this nato summit, which is a really important summit for president biden. not least because of the fact that he's pushing for additional support for ukraine and this is a huge part of his legacy during his first term as president and in general his legacy as a leader. so it is it is an argument that the biden campaign would say for his reelection, what he's doing here at the nato summit. and it is no doubt unwelcome to him that questions about his ability to do the job now let alone questions about his ability to stay in the right as the democratic standard barer are hanging over him. but they are, and those questions will no doubt come up in the press conference tomorrow. and there are questions that we're askin

democratic congressman gym clyburn who played a key role in helping joe biden win the presidency in 2020, he spoke with msnbc's andrea mitchell yesterday about a potential kamala harris presidency. >> congressman, how would you feel if there is a decision for him to step down, if he decides that? and he has to decide that. or if the party pressures him to do that, how would you feel if they worked around and tried to go around kamala harris because of her lack of high poll numbers and popularity and broadly based. do you think it's hers to have if not his? >> i will support her if he were to step aside. but i want to support her going forward at some time in the future. i want this ticket to continue to be biden-harris, and then we'll see what happens after the next election. no, this party should not in any way do anything to work around ms. harris. we should do everything we can to bolster her whether she's second place or at the top of the ticket. >> joining us now white house correspondent for politico, adam cancren. his latest reporting details how biden's to tight circle of advisor

joe biden find a path forward.t last hour, with andrea mitchell, speaker emerita nancy pelosi was on the air. i want to play for you what she said about this. >> my recommendation to -- is for him to have some interviews with serious journalists, you among them, serious journalists, no holds barred, any question is fair, and just sit there and be joe. not one, maybe two, a couple of those. i think that is essential. >> so, peter, look, there are -- there is a clock ticking, right? because there isn't a lot of time, if someone else is going to run for president for the democratic party. i wonder what you're hearing from democrats. i wonder if you think that this could move quickly enough for this to actually happen and when you have people like julian castro who served alongside joe biden, who know joe biden, who have only good things to say about the first term of his presidency, is there still a chance that this moves in that direction, that joe biden is replaced? >> yeah, first of all, i would say by the way the

joining us, andrea mitchell. how are our nato allies trying to trump-proof themselves?ne, give ukraine what they did not give ukraine a year ago at the last summit which is an unreversible path to nato membership and to move defense coordination from u.s. leadership to germany and coordinate a much more robust defense partnership to train, build and coordinate ukraine's military with nato requirements so that ukraine's military builds up to qualifying for nato. one big concern when we talk about donald trump is want just what he said at his rally in florida, which he did not know about nato before he became president, and also repeating the false hood that europe is not stepping up to its requirements. europe has -- nato has 23 countries out of the 32 and two are brand-new members meeting that 2% spending requirement. most of that from 9 to 23 has been expanded under the first years of joe biden, not under donald trump. also viktor orban, the nato member who has just been in beijing and just been in moscow, the two, you know, china, the ally that is helping putin expand

biden has faced step back. biden has faced criticism for repeatedly claiming that donald trump poses a threat to democracy, but now he's saying it's time to cool it down here. the shadow foreign secretary, andrew mitchell, told us it's made everyone think about politicians safety. >> president biden put it very well from the oval office when he talked about the coarsening of debate and the fact that we need to have a very close look at, at how we conduct our politics. and i hope that on, you know, on the back of the elections that we've just been through here were candidates of all parties, particularly women, suffered the most appalling acts of abuse and, and were often put in very frightening positions. i hope very much that we can have a sort of national debate now about how we clean that up . about how we clean that up. >> a man charged with murder after human remains were found in two suitcases in bristol, has now been remanded in custody. jostin andres mosquera is accused of killing 62 year old albert alf

she's about one point better than biden statewide. and more importantly, she's a little bit better than biden in those swing congressional districts where democrats have about seven seats in california, that will likely determine whether or not democrats or republicans control congress in the in this administration, california polling has also shown voter turnout may be better, with kamala harris at the top of the ticket. >> about 40% of democrats said they'd be more likely to vote if the candidate were someone younger than president biden, and among younger democrats, that number is about 75. >> childhood friends and former colleagues of vice president harris are showing their support today. abc seven news reporter ryan curry spoke with some of the people who know her best in the east bay. >> a walk along browning street in berkeley brings up many memories for carol porter. >> this is the bus stop here. and if anybody sees this and i'm wrong, that's okay. but i believe it was the green duck that we caught here. and we would all line
