only represents mesothelioma victims and their families. if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with ms ophelie noma call us now president biden in a fight for his political life fighting to save his reelection campaign. >> not only trying to convince voters that he's fit for the job, but some fellow democrats as well. there are critical meetings underway. the white house, right now, and we're going to hear from the white house press secretary at the podium, just minutes away and whether donald trump wins the white house are not a new 140 today suggests the justice department could pursue the cases against him right up until inauguration what this means for all those legal battles. >> and hurricane beryl closing in now on jamaica as a potentially lethal heatwave blankets california is sweltering summer turning dangerous in an era of extreme climate change, we are

following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central we begin with breaking news. >> cnn is learning that president biden has privately acknowledged the next stretch of days are critical to deciding whether he can stay in the race. it's a major development after the president's debate performance raised serious concerns about his ability to win reelection and serve out another term. just hours from now, the president will meet face-to-face with democratic governors seeking reassurance biden will also speak separately with several congressional leaders. cnn's mj lee joins us now, live from the white house. mj, we should point out we're about to hear from press secretary karine john pier what are you hearing about where president biden stands in all of this now? >> boris, what we have learned is that president biden has

privately acknowledged that he knows the next stretch of days are going to be absolutely critical to whether he can save his candidacy and that he knows what would eventually prompt and potential this lead to say, it's just not working. this is according to an ally who spoke directly with the president yesterday, and that ally tells me that he seize the moment and he is clear-eyed and that the president knows that there is a potential set up, a scenarios, things that could happen in the coming days and weeks where he would acknowledge essentially, but this simply cannot be fixed and they said that this looks like the pools are plummeting the fund raising is drying up at the interviews are going badly. he's not oblivious is what this ally told me and this person, interestingly, described the president in this conversation yesterday as having been chastened, that he blamed himself, not his staff or his up poor debate performance last week, and that he said, i have done too much foreign policy. there was a

reference to the fact that he had traveled to france, traveled to italy right before that debate. and the exhaustion and the jet-lagged had just been detrimental to his performance that we can quickly note, the president was back in the states for nearly two weeks before he took that debate stage. but boris, i can't emphasize enough, just how much level of scrutiny there is now going to be on president biden whenever he is doing anything in public. so that includes everything that we're going to see him doing today, including, of course, meeting with and talking to democratic elected officials, including governors that are going to be coming to the white house. and then of course there is that big ab see interview that the white house has been touting on friday, not to mention a press conference that he is going to be having with reporters at the nato summit next week. so these are all moments where the president can potentially show that he can turn his campaign around. but i just want to note that implicit in all of this is the acknowledged polish meant that there is the potential of the

president getting to a point where again, he acknowledges, i cannot fix my campaign. >> mj president biden today, among the leaders that he's speaking with i had lunch with vice president kamala harris. we're learning that her team is now navigating through this escalating situation, being very publicly supportive of the president. what can you tell us about their launch? >> baur is the vice president is in a really tough spot right now. >> she of course knows all of the buzz that is out there right now about whether the president should step aside, whether she could the replacement. and priscilla alvarez our colleague here, has really great reporting on the mandate inside the vice president's team. and that is essentially two stay in line and continue promoting the biden harris ticket. the vp staff is even received guidance that basically says, keep your head down and keep working. we are seeing the vice president herself. i should note really trying to execute on that public. we saw her in that

brief remarks to a reporter yesterday where she said the president is our nominee. he beat donald trump once we are going to do it again, and i'm proud to be his running mate. this is, of course, as democrats continued to discuss who could potentially replace a president biden if he does leave the race? and so all of those conversations are going to continue swirling around vice president. harris, but she is going to continue apparently, according to this reporting from our colleague, telling her staff, making it clear that they need to keep their heads down and jaylene lai for us at the white house, mj. thanks so much. let's turn now to cnn chief national national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny. as you have, you have new reporting that privately a growing number of democrats want biden to drop out of the race. some as early as this week for us, there has been a really growing swell of sense in a minute that it is time to move on with this. we've heard a bit of it publicly from a congressman lloyd doggett of texas and many others behind the scenes are

saying a similar thing that it is time. yes, they respect and appreciate the president's record, but is also time to really see what is going on here. now, the president, we are told in its campaign both geoff signs to what else? chief of staff has mj was saying and the campaign manager, they're hosting separate staff calls and trying to urge people to stay focused. hard to stay focused though, of course on this, when there are these growing calls the most important meeting of the day that lunch that is going on right now with the president and the vice president and that meeting a governors this evening, democratic governors flying to washington, virtually all of them all of the main ones, some of them who could be considered also candidates to meet with the president. so you get this sense, that feeling that so much has changed in 24 hours, a patience is wearing very thin and time is running out to make something of a move however, it is still biden's decision to make. so as mj was saying, i'm told privately, he has said that he does not want to drag down the democratic

ticket but it's not yet reached the point of making a decision. yeah. time is of the essence when making this kind of decision that there's actually a new poll out today, jeff from cbs news, after the debate that shows a majority of voters think that the president should not run walk us through those numbers. look at that as some of the data that they are looking at. of course, the president and his campaign team are looking closer at battleground data from those seven battleground states. but look at these national numbers here. do you think joe biden should be running for reelection as president? 69% say no, that's nearly seven in ten voters. 31% say yes. so that's certainly is an indication at a national level, it's hard to imagine battlegrounds would be any different than that but again, this is the president's choice to make first lady jill jill biden, interestingly, is in michigan campaigning today. the campaign will go on. democrats are trying to sort of a redirect the focus to the contrast with donald trump, boris, one interesting thing, the trump campaign has been silent throughout all of this.

certainly watching this this campaign, but you also have to wonder, are democrat's going to be worrying what they may get here, an unknown and kamala harris or someone else, this is an unusual dynamic in this race. friday, it's four months until election day. >> yeah, that's why the primary process is so important and so lengthen so that this can get worked out if this happens now it'd be a very abridged and potentially harmful process of democratic convention next month. but they have even less time to find someone else should it reach if we get to that point? >> jeff zeleny. thank you so much for joining us now is democratic senator peter welch of vermont. senator. thank you for taking the time to be with us this afternoon. i do want to ask you, in your opinion, is president biden fit to serve right now, is president well, that's the question. yeah, he's wrestling with that and he's reading the polls and you had a terrible debate and the campaign, his candidly acknowledged that. and i'm

confident by the way, dead at the end of the day the president is going to make his decision on the basis of what's best for the country. that is how he has approaches entire public life. you'll put the country first he knows that the existential challenge is keeping donald trump out of the presidency so i have confidence that he's going to make a decision and make it on the basis of serving the country. >> is there a sensitivity to not taking a position on that question well yes is the answer. >> but there's also an enormous amount of affection and respect. and the democratic party for who joe biden is and what he's done. and in fact, fermont we gave biden the largest majority in the entire country in that last election so we also have what we saw and it's a serious issue. the campaign is clearly taking it

seriously i'll reports indicate that the president himself is taking it seriously and he's reading the polls. so my view is that i will let the president make his own decision out of immense respect for everything he's done for us, keeping trump out of office and the extraordinary job he's done yeah. >> you mentioned the reports biden reportedly told an ally that he would accept his reelection campaign is quote, not working if pulls are plummeting, fundraising is drying up and interviews are going badly. do you think he has enough time to stress test all of those conditions? >> well time is short and the only way for him in the campaign to respond is not beye talking to senators or governors, because this is not a tell me situation. it's a show me situation. so he'd have

to be out and about in the hurly-burly of a campaign open-ended press conferences with folks like you engagements with voters that are on scripted and time is march. the clock is ticking on that but i do think that the response here would have to involve being very much in the public and unscripted situations as opposed to a few interviews or conversations with governors who he's going to be meeting with today as a senator in the majority, you understand? >> what that means and how important that would be if the democratic ticket is not successful in this election at what point would democrats have to prioritize? highs are not losing the senate over keeping the white house the reality is that the better or presidential candidate does. >> the more of a tailwind we have in these tough senate

races. the good news here is that in those toughs racist, i like montana. let's say our candidates are running ahead of president biden. but the bottom line here is that somebody like tester can overcome a gap, but he can't overcome a chasm. so if we do really poorly at the presidential level, that creates a fear of something and your toe and bottom line, the most important thing is to have trump out of the office a democrat in office and then doing that, i think is the best help that we can give to our senate candidates who are doing great. but have a tough challenge. >> vice president harris and her team are of course, they are backing biden as the nominee at this point, but opposed to beat cnn poll shows harris within striking distance of trump in a hypothetical matchup, no clear leader because of the margin of error, of course. but i've also heard from democrats who worried that she cannot win in places where it matters like wisconsin,

michigan, and other states, what do you think? >> if if it came to an open contest, if the president made that decision, then it would have to be open. in i think the priority for us by the way, we have a tremendous bench starting, of course, with the vice president. but we also have party unity everybody who would be running is running on a continuation of the biden accomplishments and that would be harrison, all the others. so i think we'heig question for all of us would be, who's the best candidate to win the presidency and defeat trump. and i don't know the answer to that. but i know we have a lot of really good candidates, including the vice president should we hear the tape of biden doing his interview with robert hur in the hunter biden case to dispel concerns that some of what we heard and saw on the debate stage last week

is also what was on that tape considering hers description of it in his filing, know no. >> no, i don't think so. is that getting out there then becomes politically manipulated what we saw in real time with that debate we can't on c and the challenge that the president would have is to overcome the impact in that debate. and that's gotta be in real time. but i think the justice the political possession of these investigations isn't something that should be i think used in manipulated especially with all the ai. false information, how things can be manipulated so we've got that debate. that tape is plenty of vindication of the challenge, the president faces going forward. >> what are you looking for in his interview with george stephanopoulos well i think all

of us are looking for the capacity to show by his behavior or his actions that the deficiencies that we saw on display in the end, the debate aren't there? >> but bottom line here, this is not a onetime deal. that's going to resolve this. you sit down, you have an interview that's great it's a question of on a sustained basis. is can the president put to put at ease the concerns that his camp painters express? they've acknowledged this and democrats have expressed this is kind of ironic situation he has got an enormous support. his enormous unity he defeated trump wants, he probably was the only person who could do it. and then he has legislative accomplishments that rival what lbj did. but lbj had a huge majority

depressant had to achieve his goals with a crackpot republican majority in the house in with a thread bare majority in the senate. so immense gratitude for him. but immense sense of urgency that that was then in this is now we've got to look forward and we've got to win senator peter welch of vermont. >> thank you so much for speaking with us this afternoon. we appreciate it thank you. still i had this hour, the first lady's fight, jill biden on the trail making the case to voters about why her husband should be reelected it how she could influence the president's decision here in the days ahead and beryl battering jamaica, we're live as this huge hurricane lashes the island july 4 cnn concert event, which performance is by

they've been through several presidential campaigns and senate campaigns. >> i do think that there's a sense inside the white house that she doesn't want to come across it's like a political advisor. even though inherently she really is. and she is going to back him. they've been married for almost five decades if he's not visibly sick, if there's not a real reason for him to gather the race. i don't think that she would ever tell him that she thinks she should what do you make of reports that during this family gathering that was previously scheduled for after the debate the family apparently speculated about whether top staffers needed to be fired and whether the campaign needed to make changes i think there are always looking for someone to blame. i think you thought you saw that a lot with past administrations where there'll be staff shakeups when something went wrong. nancy reagan, famous flee fired.

reagan's chief of staff. i think that often this does happen where the staffers are held to taf, but obviously what happened thursday night was president biden his performance and really any blame should be laid on him. i think that it's very interesting to me to watch joe biden in this moment kind of navigate her role as both a presidential spouse. but then at what point does that conflict with your your duty and your patriotism to the country and i think we have to watch for that in the coming days. >> yeah, certainly. to be fair at president biden, at least in our reporting, has not laid the blame on his staff. he he's put it on himself though, apparently that there is some consternation among staff and some surprise that hunter biden the president's son, has been participating in meetings and calls something that reports described as it's unusual. could you speak to any tension between the biden family and his staff at a moment like this

i think it's not surprising that there's tension there. >> i knew that hunter is very vocally supportive of his father staying in the race, and it is unusual to have a son sitting in on top meetings it also speaks to i think a sense that the family maybe doesn't completely trust what's going on inside the white house and they want to protect that. i've circle the wagons around the president there's inherent tension there and there always is inside white house's. >> do you think that that sort of protective instinct? could actually harm the reelection bid if, if the president is listening to family who's eager to as you put it, circle the wagons around him rather than staff that could perhaps give him a more critical and more objective view of things i think it's dangerous to have rely on your family too much, and i do think that president biden does have a close-knit

circle of advisers outside the family like ted kaufman, for instance mike donald lynn, steve, or study these people who he's worked with for years and years. >> i do think he gives them a lot of weight as well. so i don't think it's as though the family is making this decision single-handedly. but yeah, they always have an outsized influence and the white house and i think in the past, first ladies have brought in top advisers it's people they think who could actually sway the president. nancy reagan did that during iran contrast, she brought in bob strauss to talk to the president to say you need to apologize. and that helps save the president's election. so i mean, there can be moments when first lady's can very shrewdly manipulate and kind of get their husbands to do what they think they should do. i i think when we see dr. biden on the campaign trail, we see somebody who really wants her husband to stay in the race you kind of answered part of my next question. >> i was wondering how you would compare the position that the first family is in right

now. two other first families who've dealt with questions about the president's health there haven't been as many families who have dealt with presidential health questions because there have been lots of scandals. >> i mean, we saw hillary clinton standing by her husband during the monica lewinsky scandal. we haven't seen something of this magnitude. it's definitely uncharted territory i think it's difficult because a lot of what we saw on thursday night, you can't unsee i think someone said that earlier. so the only thing they can do at this point is just have him out there show that that was an anomaly. if it was and reassure the american people that this is not who he is behind closed doors. i think what we don't have any sort of transparency into how unusual that performance was on thursday and they need to make it clear that it was that is a very good point. kate anderson brower. thanks so much for the perspective thank you for of

course coming up, not backing down the justice department says it plans to pursue its cases against donald trump from even after the election, even if you wanes and we've got live pictures from washington as we await today's white house press briefing pressing questions about president biden's campaign for reelection. we're going to bring out to you live as soon as it begins if you've been paying attention, it's easy to see prices are going up on just about everything. >> that's why you need to do your wallet a favor and call i'll carshow. now one called khartiia laci into today's low-price so you can join peace of mind knowing that you're not only protected from mechanical breakdowns, but also

officials would plan to continue with those cases, even past election day if donald trump were to be elected the president in november. but they very likely would stop once he took office either because trump would want them to stop if he were to be elected president or because the justice department has a policy that you can't be prosecuting a sitting president by its own department that just isn't what the justice department has decided since the 1970s that they could do that policy would likely be in place for trump. a lot is in the hands of the court system though, and a lot could happen, brianna, between now and election day. obvious the asleep even with these cases, donald trump and his team, they have been trying to take that supreme court opinion from monday about presidential immunity. they're going to be using it every way that they can. and already they've been able to push off his sentencing in the new york hush money case where he was convicted by a

jury until september if that even survives, they are going to be arguing to the judge in the coming weeks that it should not there was too much evidence from the white house that came into play at that trial proceeding. briana katelyn polantz. thank you for that report for us. >> some breaking news and to cnn, we've learned that moments ago, president biden and vice president kamala harris called into today's campaign. all staff coal at the white house. at any moment we are expecting to hear from the white house press secretary karine jean-pierre, taking a number of difficult questions after she did already yesterday about the president's future. cnn's mj lee is live force inside the briefing room. mj. you have some new reporting specifically about the chief of staff and a call that he held with staff at the white house telling them to keep their heads up and to focus on their work. tell us more about that reporting yeah, this is new reporting coming in from our colleague, betsy klein, who reports that the president biden and vice president kamala harris called into an all campaign staff

called just moments ago. >> this was described by a source as being a pep talk, and that both of them in this call described the stakes of the election and at that near the end, that at the near the end of the call, excuse me, the president said let's go win this. and as you mentioned, there are other efforts coming in the campaign and the white house as well as a lot of folks, a lot of staffers aids that are working in the campaign and the white house aren't really worried about the future of the 20th 24 campaign. we know that a white house chief of staff, jeff zients, also had a white house aides called trying to bring some sort of reassurance given the events of the last several days. and we are expecting here at white house press secretary karine jean-pierre, to take the podium any minute, and we expect that it is going to be yet another very he tough white house press briefing just to remind you, yesterday, she of course, confronted a barrage of questions about the president's health, about the release of potentially more medical records or any other

information that could give us a better sense about the state of his health and even questions about whether dr. kevin o'connor, the president's physician mission, could be somebody who could take questions from reporters. so we do expect those lines of questioning to continue. and of course, all of this is coming with the new reporting that president biden has privately acknowledged who an ally that he understands that the next couple of days the next stretch of days is going to be the incredibly important in terms of whether or not he can actually save his candidacy. and what i think is interesting, boris to note is that we are seeing the president finally starting to get a little bit more involved himself in the conversations that he is having in private with lawmakers use of course a hosting, some democratic governors who had expressed concerns about his age and the viability of his candidacy. and then of course, there's that big interview that he is doing on friday with abc news not to

mention the press conference that the white house has been talking about, but he will participate in next week at the native summit. so we'll see how the. white house answers all of the questions that we are expecting it to get again today. but again, it is important to emphasize the moment that we are in. this is a white house in a campaign that is very much in crisis mode and they're also in survival mode right now, boris yeah, potentially critical days ahead for this campaign, mj lee live from the white house, will of course, bring you that briefing as it happens. thanks so much. mj coming up, hurricane beryl is hitting jamaica as residents are being warranted, take cover right? now. they're bracing for a potentially devastating blow. the worst thing years will take you live to the ground in jamaica next sunday. dr. sanjay gupta reports on hold for the devastating effects of alzheimer's reversing, something that seemed so preordained. >> it sounds extraordinary.

>> wow, number 18. okay. and three of my sisters have died. i have two and memory care. it's all it's personal let's go now to the white house briefing for the last few months has been critical in helping ukraine defend their territory. >> again, it's russia's advances. thanks for the bravery of the gradient forces and weapons deliver deliveries from the united states and our allies and partners it is increasingly clear the russian offensive around kharkiv has been a failure. and as president biden has been clear, we are coming committed to continuing to stand with ukraine until they prevail against russian aggression so i want to share a bit of additional updates before for all of you before we start, i know some of some of you have been trying to confirm some of this information that i'm about to share. so i'll do it right now at the podium, the president has connected with leader jeffries senate majority leader schumer representative

claiborne, former speaker pelosi, and senator coons. today present didn't biden taped to black radio interviews that will air tomorrow morning. one is with url ingram on civic media network, which airs across wisconsin, and one with andrea lawful sanders on www rds, the source in philadelphia. and as governor wolf's of minnesota announced today, the president will meet with more than 20 democratic governors. now, as you know, these governors are some of our closest partners when it comes to creating jobs, building new roads and building bridges, and so much more. and so the president certainly looks forward to meeting with them and that i am happy to take your questions on men last night at the fundraiser, the president lagging jet lag for his performance facts stateside well, over weeks. >> so does he really be more

than we're going to have to recover from, from from traveling did he really is that really what he thinks cause his board yeah. >> just a couple of things and i do appreciate the question because the president has certainly spoken to this many, many times about the debate. and so he an opportunity to do that in front of supporters. and as you just stayed, he did that. he he talked about he owns owned that the debate was not his best night. and he said himself, it's not an excuse, but it's an explanation. i was standing here yesterday and many people were asking why and what's the well nation? and that's what you heard from him. look, the two, i think in addition to the two major trips, he was also doing continued to do his president shall duties. he worked late in doing that and he also prepared for the debate. and on top of that, there was obviously the jet lag as you just asked asked about and also he had a cold you all heard directly. you heard you heard from him during the debate. he had a hoarse voice. many of you reached out to me and my team and some

other members of the white house asking what was going on and we confirm that he had a cold and so i think those two things continuing, obviously, to do his duties as commander-in-chief as the president. and so i think some of you here in this room can certainly relate to what, what, what can happen when you're having an important moment and you're not feeling well. and also you wish you could have done better and so he took ownership. i think that's important and he's going to continue to make a strong case for his agenda. and that's what you're going to see and he was given an explanation. and that's what he wanted to do. he wanted to get that out there for people to hear directly from him as he has been doing since since friday of last week i know you're calling it. that's when asian not excuse. but it does seem like fair use uses since the debate of what went wrong. i would say i don't think it's a new excuse. i think some of you some of your colleagues reached out to us about the schedule. some of

your colleagues asked if the schedule was to strain? yes. or was it because of the jet lag and so and so we we are laying out and explaining exactly what happened. you heard from the president. you've heard from me, and it was indeed a a a schedule where the present traveled six times zones forward to g7 and italy, nine times zones back to la and three times there's owns a ford again to dc. that's something that when the print polar on that day, laid out for for all of you and those to who reach who read the pool notes. and on top of that, he did have a cold. so it is an explanation. i don't think it is an addition. i don't think it's we certainly you don't want to explain this away but you all ask me for an explanation yesterday, the president gave that directly yesterday to his supporters. he wanted to make sure knowing that all of you would get that information as he's speaking to his sport has pores last night. surety, you

mentioned all the quality is meeting your topper. why was he do not on friday and why was he just sort of damage control? why was he waiting and waiting to do that until middle? >> i mean, look, i i was asked a similar question, beye, one of your colleagues yesterday and look the president obviously right after the bait, he visited four states in two-and-a-half days, gave a couple of remarks. he met with supporters there's where they're at the waffle house or in atlanta to watch party or north carolina where there were hundreds of supporters there and in raleigh. and so he was busy i'm dealing with dealing with his schedule and also speaking directly and engaging with his support and then spend time with his family. i think what's important is the he has done this outreach. he's having these conversations. it is important to him to do so. and the folks that i laid out that he spoke to her or or some of them have been his colleagues

some of them has been elected officials that he's known for some time. obviously leader jeffries is a new relationship that he has. so when that he obviously respects and so it is i think it's important to note that they were strong conversations. that's something that the president told me and my team directly moments ago. he's he was walking around and we happen to see the president and he said they were strong conversation. and by the way, he looks great. the vice president, it's got great when they are ready to continue working on behalf on behalf of the american people hi it's president biden considering stepping down absolutely. absolutely not. and you heard, i think by believed directly from the campaign as well? even the groundswell of concern from keller democrats, from donors, from supporters doesn't he owe it to the american public to reflect? on whether he should step down. i mean, look very

much in tucson men's question and my answer to her question where he had opera to need to talk to supporters. he's done it a couple of times at this point and laid out what happened on that night, talked about how he understands and it was not his best night. he understands that it is fair for people to ask that question. but we cannot forget his record and what he's been able to do we cannot forget how he has been able to deliver for the american people for almost four years. that matters to and he has the most record administration. the most in modern politics. and that should matter. and he wants to continue to do that work and a lot of his what's on his agenda is very much popular with majority of the american people. whether is continuing to build a strong rec, economic economic economic polici
