bottom line here is that we're not going anywhere. >> i am not going anywhere. i don't think i should run against me. go ahead. announce to announce her president. challenge managing convention that's part of the message democrats heard this morning. they also heard this as the president struggled to do what he's been trying to do for the last 11 days, put the debate behind him look at my career. i've not had many of those nights was a terrible night. and i really regret it happened. but the fact of the matter is how how can you assure you're going to be on faith that can intervene on your way. so to work tomorrow age age wasn't the idea. on tool those first three sentences made since the last two did not know for any wavering democrats, that's not reassuring nor was reporting over the weekend that his staffers are now scripting out his appearances and large print

handbooks. >> that point of view photos, mapping out his every step to the podium, nor were moments during his taped interview on abc friday night like this one, after being asked how he would feel if he stays in the race and loses i feel as long as i gave it my all you can just chop said no, i can do. that's what this is. the bow well, lead today, a six democratic house member call for the president to leave the race. >> and this time it was a member of the leadership ranking democrat on the armed services committee, adam smith our constituents are bringing up the country is bringing it up in the white house. sorry, campaign strategy of quiet and fallen line. and let's ignore it. simply isn't working right now. elections are a choice. and in this field, even in the current situation, joe biden, far and away, the best candidate. but i know when my heart and my soul in my brain that we can do better. and i know what the stakes are on the

senate side, speaking about the president, oregon, jeff merkley said, serious issues have been have to be raised. colorado is michael bennett called on the party to have an open debate in his words about the election importantly, however, the president still has the support of senate majority leader chuck schumer and house minority leader kim jeffries, who said this tonight to cnn's manu raja mr. leader, do you support joe biden staying as are democratic nominee? yes. i made clear the day after the debate publicly that i support president joe biden and the democratic ticket my position has not changed. >> the president also has the support of the congressional black caucus. what he does not have and did not have even before the debate was the kind of bedrock support that could see him through this, something seen as david axelrod underscored today he's not winning this race. he's more likely if you just look at the data and talk to people around the country political people

around the country. it's more likely that he'll lose by a landslide. then when narrowly this race and if the stakes are as large as he says, and i believe they are, then he really needs to consider what the right thing to do here is so there's that and all the questions about the president's viability as a candidate now swirling around the white house and the campaign. >> there's also more new reporting that walter reed neurologists, a specialist in parkinson's disease he's made eight visits over eight the white house and met once with president's doctor questions about it led to a shouting match today with the president's press secretary has the president been treated for parkinson's know, is he being treated for parkinson's? no. he's not. is he taking medication for parkinson's know, i'm not going to confirm a specialist any specialists that comes to come to come to the white house? i am not sharing confirming names from here it is a security reasons. i am not going to do that, ed, it doesn't matter how hard you push me. it doesn't matter how angry you get with me i'm not

going to confirm a name. it doesn't matter if it's even in the log. i am not going to do do that from here. i'm telling you that he has seen neurologist three times while he has been in this presidency. that's what i'm saying joining us now is dr. jonathan reiner, professor of medicine and surgery at george washington university. >> his latest op-ed piece for cnn.com raises questions about the president's fitness and begins this way, quote, there's a tenant of medicine that states you only find what do you look for? it closes by saying it's time to look. dr. reiner, thanks for being with us. when you hear the president speaking on morning, joe in some sentences are full we formed make total sense than some seem to get away from him that happens with regularity. if this was anyone else, the person who your family would you want them to get a cognitive test, is there a reason not to get a cognitive test? >> sure. and you know, our treatment guidelines support evaluating a person of the president's age. if they start to show any symptoms that might

possibly be consistent with cognitive decline i think it's much more controversial whether we should be testing asymptomatic people over a certain age and i think the jury is really out on that. but once one starts to develop symptoms then i think it's reasonable to evaluate whether that really is the beginning of an organic process that would result in significant cognitive decline and again, there aren't a lot of medical issues that i think would absolutely disqualify somebody from running for president united states but cognitive decline or alzheimer's disease, i think would i was in japan a couple of weeks ago and visited hiroshima. and if you ever want to get a sense for how important the power of the president, the united states is. visit hiroshima and understand the really the magnitude of the power that that office holds. and i think the voting public should have a

good sense for whether there is any significant cognitive issue with any of the candidates including the former president who's running in this selection it's just, it just makes common sense to me. what has first secretary karine jean-pierre was asked about why the president has not had a cognitive test. >> i just want to play that the neurologist has said it is not warranted. >> the president himself, he said today, he said it multiple times. times. and the dr has said this everything that he does day in and day out as it relates to delivering for the american people is a cognitive test what do you make of that argument? you know, as i said, i said at the outset you know, you only find what you look for the flip side of the flip side of that is you know, sometimes, you you don't look for what you what you don't want to find and if the president had no symptoms at all, i think it

would it makes a lot of sense, not to do this sort of gratuitous testing but the, president had a very concerning performance at the debate. ten days ago even if one discounts any other sort of lapses in his, in his speech over the last several months that one debate raises? not important questions and i think at this point there's a lot of noise surrounding the president's competence, which can be just you know, erased if the president has a comprehensive mental status exam. now, let's put that away. and then there's nothing else to talk about. and then they can focus on what's really important to this country, which is his policy and the differences between the candidates. but this has become a giant distraction and the refusal to do the testing has become the big news. rather, rather than the results of the test. and i

think if the president is fine, he'll do fine on the exam and if he is having significant cognitive issues, then he really needs to know as well as the voters the white house said the pros biden had not been treated for taking medications for parkinson's disease. >> they avoided directly answering questions about the parkinson specialists who visited the white house do you does that the idea of i guess there's a lot of reasons why someone might visit the white house. do you make much of that? well we know the president has been evaluated by a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders. >> dr. o'connor put that in his february summary of the president's annual exam. so we know the president has at least been evaluated once this year by that specialist. now the white house medical unit sees a lot of people at the white house and it's certainly very possible that the walter reed physician who has visited there on eight occasions has seen,

has seen other people. it will be a different story and if, if we learn that the neurologist has come basically once a month to see the president united states. that raises the race is a different issue. and again, i think what we really need to see with both candidates it's just an effort to have some transparency about the health of the people who are running for the highest office, perhaps the most important office on the planet we know nothing about trump, absolutely nothing. but a no on medications he's taking. but we certainly don't know how much you ways the his note from his physician in november was basically three paragraphs, completely devoid of any data. we actually know a lot about the president. i think they've, they've tried to be very to give a very comprehensive report. it was it was about six pages long and had a lot of data in it. but this one issue has really come to the fore.

and i think the best way to dispense with it is just to be transparent, turn all the cards face up on the table and if there's nothing to see, there's nothing to see. and we don't need this distraction anymore. >> dr. reiner. thank you. joining us now is former biden white house communications director kate bedingfield, the aforementioned david axelrod, ashley etienne, who served as vice president. harris is communications director and democratic strategist paul begala david, i mean, what do you make of these? because it's the white house from a parkinson specialists well, i don't know what to make of it. >> i will say this anderson. i i i don't believe the president it has parkinson's disease. they say he doesn't, that he's not being treated for that. i think it would be irresponsible to run if you were being treated for that? i don't i have no question in my mind about that. but questions are going to be raised if you're not simple and direct about these kinds of issues, it was predictable that people would have curiosity about why

this doctor was there given the issues that were raised by the president's debate performance and the fact that press secretary didn't have direct answers to those questions only intensifies the hunt for answers. the media is going to not take her non-answers at face value at this point. members of congress who are trying to decide what to do here and whether they should take a position on the president's candidacy are probably going to want to know before they do what is this all about? and i think you can be very sure that the house republicans are going to treat this like a ball of wool and i think at this point they need to be very, very direct on all these questions, or they're going to continue to get more questions and it's going to propagate more trouble for the president. they need to jump on this issue and they need to be

clear and direct about kate. i mean, if there was no issue with president biden's cognition and his ability to speak without a teleprompter and answer question, why wouldn't the white house today? it's point. have a press conference and just let the president answer questions from reporters well, he's going to do that this week. >> we know he's going to do that on thursday, so we will see him. we'll see him doing that there. and i would also say it listening to careen today, which by the way, the white house press secretary has an incredibly difficult job and anybody who's worked in white house communications can tell you that there's a lot of factors that go into what you make public. there's often it's often the role of the white house press secretary, the white house communicate patients director to advocate to others internally in the building, to make information public and sometimes you get pushed back based on what the lawyers think or what the legend slate of team. thanks. so i have to imagine there was a robust conversation about this inside the white house today. and i think if you look at what corinne said, she answered a number these questions directly. she said he's not being treated for

parking and since he's not he doesn't have he's not taking medicine for parkinson's. and the white house has put out there and never talk about about dementia or i mean, what the more obvious things, which is what the subtext of all this is? >> well, let me put out a detailed they put out a detailed a detailed medical analysis of the president every year in which the neurologist says there's no evidence of any of these of these these issues, but i would also say, well, actually you said parkinson's or ms he they actually didn't specifically say anything about dementia or any kind of form of dementia, but i in the section of the report, he says no reason to be concerned about neurological. i think he was uses the word deficiencies, but but, you know, they have put this out annually every single year. it is dramatically more detail than as the doctor was mentioning that donald trump has but the other thing i would say is the white house medical unit. and again, anybody who's worked at the white house knows this you know, acts ashley, paul but i'll speak to this to the medical unit. is doctor's office that treats all of the

staff. if you have a cold when you're at the white house and your staff or you go to the medical unit. there are rotating a rotation of doctors who come in who are there to be available to staff. they don't just treat the president. and so i think the desire to jump to conclusions here when the press secretary was clear that he's not being treated for parkinson's i think it's problematic. i would also note if you overlay the president's schedule and i haven't had a chance to do all of this, but if you overlay the president's schedule, you'll see there were times knows visitors, logs it's where the doctor was there. the president was out of the country. so i think, you know, look, i understand that people have these questions. i certainly agree with axe at the white house needs to be clear. i think that the press secretary did the best job she could do today with the information that she was allowed to share but i don't think there's any reason to believe that the president is being treated for parkinson's paul? >> i mean, nobody can explain or has offered any explanation for the debate for permanent other than a bad night and the president has said, it was tired from international trips

even though it was more than ten days or so after his last international trip, i mean, nobody can really has spoken to why sentences some sentences are totally fine and make total sense and others like you on morning joe trail off into just kind of a word salad do they need to answer that question well, they do the question was best posed by nancy pelosi. >> not exactly a maga trumper speaker emerita pelosi said that i'm paraphrasing, i don't have the exact quote, but she said, we want to know if this was it's just a bad night or if there's a condition that's nancy pelosi. she's not exactly a biden hater and she's spent more time with president biden than most people have my own advice to these folks. and they're my friends and i love them and i love this president. he's really wonderful man. he's done great things for the country. but they've got to be more transparent. they need to listen to dr. reiner nobody wants their medical records released in public. but you

know what? he's got his finger on the button, he's got 5,000 nuclear weapons. he's got 1 million trips under arms, under his command and mr. jefferson said this, our third president, when a person assumes a public office, they become public property so i think both candidates, both mr. trump and mr. biden, should should waive doctor patient confidentiality and send their their personal physicians out to say sanjay gupta. right? because political report is not going to know the right questions. but we should have more transparency about both of these guys. because i think there are really important questions about each of them. actually made a number of senators are voicing concerns about the president's candidacy tonight. what more would you like to see to him? it's a do to try to address these issues. >> well, you know, i've been on the phone all day with ranking file members as well as members of leadership in the house. and essentially what i'm hearing anderson is the messages that stopping the bleeding doesn't solve the problem you know what they've said to me is that if we accept the president's word,

that it's episodic and not a condition, then we should all anticipate that there's going to be another episode. and so the fear is that you know, that the episode is much more profound comes at a much more consequential time and also comes at a point in which we've run out the clock and there's no, no options left to solve the problem. so that's what i'm hearing from members. i'm also hearing that they were not satisfied with the president's explanation because many of them have seen them in their districts and they've seen him perform form they weren't satisfied by this letter that he sent over to day. they feel like they need to touch and feel the president. so i mean, the overwhelming message i'm hearing from members as that is that they're they're filling like sitting ducks waiting for the next shoe to drop. but they're holding out some level of patients and giving the president's some time. >> david, i mean, let's talk about time obviously, he seems determined and defiant and

thinks he can do this as long as he feels that how does anything change? >> what well, i mean, this has always been the case. it has always been his decision you know, what he said in that interview was that he didn't expect the leaders of the house and senate to come to him and say, you're jeopardizing us and and our members and, you know, you don't want this to be your legacy said doubt and that's not going to happen there all with me and if they don't i don't know what else would intervene. i don't think god almighty is going to play a role here it really has to be the leaders of the congress that letter is sent over this morning was pretty dismissive. i mean, there was no real acknowledgement of the concerns or addressing of the concerns that people had. he basically said, i'm done talking about it. i'm running live with it. and here's my case against donald trump and that as ashley

said, that didn't really resolve the fundamental questions. so i do think he's trying to run out the clock. i think he very much wants expects to be the nominee he has nato this week that republican convention as next week, and then time gets very short. if you were to make changed, the only thing i would say that he should consider is and i've said this from the beginning kenny, can he make a straight face case to the american people as to why they shouldn't be concerned about this and why he is the best candidate for the next four years. we can honor the president's achievements for the last four for years and the last 50 years of his public service, which is distinguished, important, i think what he's done as president has in many ways has been historic but that doesn't address his his ability to do this for another four years and he seems unable to address that everyone. thank you. coming up next, congressman bennie thompson, a member of the congressional black caucus getting tonight with president biden, will talk to him and current congressman mike

don't make sense well, i think everyone who's been involved in politics, so anderson, you've been in media you have good days and bad days. >> but you don't, judge a person like that. you look at his policies from what i've seen the policies have worked we have low unemployment, are children are getting a better education. they able, if they can't afford it we've created policies to help them. we've alleviated the debt the biden administration has been opened and aboveboard and so for all of this, as you know, the congressional black caucus historically has been very supportive of the democratic nominee, joe biden is no different in return, the policies that he's promoted have been very beneficial to

our constituency. yeah. so we heard from him, we felt very good and we understand but we will take joe biden in a day over convicted felon. >> so congressman quickly or you're one of the few house democrats saying publicly that the president should step aside. how many of your colleagues do you think feel the same way you do, but don't want to come out publicly and say it i talked to members on the florida night as quite a few. they have to come to terms with that on their own. i know it's a tough choice. i suspect you'll be hearing from quite a few this week but regardless of that for you, congressman, wasn't just the what you saw on that debate stage? what else? what was there anything else this all is focused under the specter of a second trump presidency and quite honestly, i started talking about this, congratulating the president and on an extraordinary record, i thought i was respectful and

thoughtful on talking about, but that's it's now what this is about you know, i was told this was a bad night and everything's good no. >> it's a horrible night and nothing is good. the polls are trending the exact wrong weigh in a hurry. a robust candidate would have a hard time turning this around. we have donors walking away. it absolutely critical time what i said beginning was, i'm worried about not just who controls the white house, but who controls the house and the senate you know, there's a very real concern about a red wave because as you know, in the presidential years, the top of the ticket is so critical. >> congressman thompson, what do you make about those concerns well it's a campaign. >> i here. obviously being a democrat we have differences, but at some point, we come together my plea to my democratic colleagues is sure you can express yourself, but at some point if joe biden

continues to run the campaign and he's a nominee, we all have to rally behind him his record speaks for itself i can imagine just like my friend trump administration, he would be bad for this country. he said it, he will be dictator for a day. he'll do everything that's against american values but as democrats will have to come together, work with the biden administration as long as joe biden is running for president and decides own his own, he'll continue to run. i think a majority, if not overwhelming majority of the congressional black caucus will be working. >> your comes from quickly. i mean, how do you see any change actually happening? i mean, if the president is determined to run his family supports him what kind of, what would it take for him to change his mind

i don't know the inner workings of the president and his inner circle is family. >> the campaign is most president. then campaigns are very insular i'd like to think common sense. and the realization that they've done nothing but go backwards since the time of the debate, and that there's so much at stake. so i was hit donors is in money, is that house and senate leadership saying, hey, we're going to get blown out and we're not going to have control many of these things. and you're not going to clear it up in 2028 you know, i'll tell you next opening days of a trump presidency we're gonna be a continuation of the last days. so the last trump presidency. and i was in the room on january 6. there's no guarantees that our fragile democracy can handle this so given there's so much at stake, i would like to think that there's people would stand up and show them the reality of the polling numbers. he's losing in wisconsin marc meyer the next day or so it will be another poll that shows trending downward in that

state. all the swing states are being lost right now. he doesn't have the ability only the capabilities of changing that course it has to happen now, a change has to take place. >> kirtzman thompson, i'm just in terms of voter excitement to come from quigley's point. this race is going to boil down to a handful of battleground states, just like it did the last time 20,000 votes or so in wisconsin a few other states may made the difference do you worry at all about enthusiasm? i mean, there's one thing about the hardcore democrats coming out to supporting the democratic candidate because the policies, but just getting every voter out with excitement getting them to take time off work or get child care so they can go vote or whatever it may be do you will not have any concerns and listen well, any person running for office would have concern. but it's all

hands on deck democrats know what's required to get the vote out. we're good at it. we get our friends and labor, we get the environmental community, we get everyone who has an interest, women who have an interest and having the right to choose, they need to get out and work all those things come together. form a campaign. hopefully it will be a winning campaign i look forward. if joe biden stays in the race to work, my behind off on his behalf i understand what the polls doesn't other folks say, but most of us came to washington despite of the pollsters and we are still here in spite of the pollsters because most of the people who vote for people like ben thompson, the pollsters never talked to guardsman thompson. i appreciate your time comes from and quickly as well. thank you. thank you. we mentioned wisconsin next cnn's john king. he heads to a small battleground town there.

a foundational element of the democratic party. and it causes strife for other lawmakers if the black caucus stays with the president, it's hard for many other democrats stand up and say, get out, but you have democrats who are looking at all the data. and now a member of the senate leadership who does not want republicans to take charge of the senate, saying mr. president, you need to lead the charge. what does he mean by that? you need to change the numbers that's what she's saying. they want to see the numbers in the polling change. they want to see it fast anderson. and that's hard to do. the president this morning said, it's just the elites in the democratic party trying to push him out. but i'm just back from another trip on the road, anderson, i want to take you to wisconsin. right. and i want to show you here's milwaukee down here. this is blue. the president has to win here. then you go just north of milwaukee, you get to those ocoee county just over the line down here is a little towne called cedarburg. this used to be reliably red country. if you see in the county, trump got 55% last time by trump struggled, struggled in the suburbs, cedarburg is right down here. we spent some time with voters. they are not elite sanderson. many of them democrats, many loyal biden voters, many of them say mr.

president, please think about it now cedarburg, wisconsin fourth of july, the city's legendary parade runs two hours as the middle america, as it gets any locals call cedarburg a living hallmark movie picture as polite. genus olinto was parade grand marshal this year in carries to keep it civil theme over to her growing pickleball studio. >> it just really is a place for people to forget what's going on in the real-world. and they can focus on just having fun and getting along. >> you think they need a place to forget what's going on. they do because it's extremely people have these anger issues it's so polarizing what's going on. yes. signs of polarization, even here my anxiety among democrats is what jumps out now, i think it's last week hurts so much that he's really got to think of the party and the country before he thinks of themselves

lisa and troy reisman on a moonshine business are biden voters and are still stunned by his debate disaster with quite frankly, i didn't even finish watching. i was really having a hard time watching it yeah it was definitely scary. >> the first people that i call where my parents are really old and i said, what did you guys think about that? because obviously, i still know where i'm going to vote my vote is going to lie, but they don't and they were equally as scared tiny cedarburg population 12,000 is a new battleground community within one of america's most competitive battleground states. not long ago, it voted lopsided republican but donald trump's struggles in america is changing suburbs. he won seats broken 2016, but with just 55%. joe biden won in 2020, just barely by 19 votes biden's voters say a repeat win here suddenly feels less likely this need fresh leadership, new leadership, and somebody who's a little bit more, i like joe

biden is as a person, i think he he stands for good things. >> but i'm just not sure he's he's there anymore to lead the country. >> think of the future. think of our kids and grandkids, and maybe you should step aside only because there's a future, doesn't look too bright with the other side taken over, alekna barella is a fiscal conservative and social liberal. you guys when you do it like many here disgusted with the choices. there's something wrong. we're going to keep going for the better of two evils. i mean, it's something's got to change. we need a logical party, we need an independent party that makes sense. >> now barella leans biden because he can't vote for trump. >> it's embarrassing how he speaks to people, how he treats people, how he responds to other countries. >> what was going through your mind watching the debate? watching biden tried to get through his words was just bad.

just add. now, everybody has a bad day. i get it. i get it. but the thing is is this was a time that was your time to shine. >> did he look to you like someone who could serve for president for 4.5 more years. >> i don't i think that what's let me put it this way. i'm voting for the party right now. >> do you think vice president harris is qualified to be president no i don't think so. but you might vote for joe biden anyway, for the debate that barella thought biden could eke got another wisconsin when now big doubts. yes, he worries switching candidates might backfire. >> who's i'm going to do it. and it's so late in the election process that trump will be a shoo in anyway, that barella moved here to care for his aging mother, his winds are made in california sold in small towns, cedarburg with a flashy slogan that draws fewer complaints. now than when he first opened shop five years ago. >> i assume the demographic change a little bit that's so

now you're kind of getting on a, you know, an, even keel between conservative and liberal genus olinto calls herself an independent libertarian, a good teacher very competitive, right? pass trump voter, very unhappy with the presence. >> this is the best our country can do. there's certain things i feel just overall sadness for. and to me the biggest issue is that a house divided cannot stand that's just there's truth to that. and i'm seeing our country erode instead of thrive. >> so lando can't see herself voting biden, but won't commit to voting. trump if they're biden setbacks, aren't automatically points for trump. but in politics like pickleball, it helps to set the pace nothing interrupts treasure the tradition here. but as the election year calendar turns another page, the mood change in this battleground is stunning the biden campaign has a theory that voters were concerned

about biden's health aren't going to turn around and vote for trump. >> does that there were recapture the whole picture it's a risky theory, anderson, the biden voters we spoke to, even the ones who said, please, mr. president, step aside, say if he does not, they will vote for him in the end, but those are strong strong biden voters. >> your shirt, choi and there he said he called his parents. they're still undecided. what are they going to do in a place like cedarburg? there are a lot of soft republicans or independents who don't like trump. but if they saw the debate and like move people at a picnic approached me and said, here's the, here's the danger if it's just trump-biden. sure. maybe they stay with biden, but remember 2016, third party candidates matter third-party candidates matter, they're already one or two on the ballot, and wisconsin several on the ballot in michigan, if there are third party candidates on the ballot and you are demoralizing, don't vote for biden. you have an option you will have an option. and we learned in 2016 that option can make the difference. and how critical is it has gotten to biden's path to victory. >> simple math, let me pull out to the 2016 map. >> you see donald trump wins pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. these three tend to go together. the three of them, their democratic states, the

demographics are lined up, but donald trump flipped them the great blue wall, right? and he's present, united states joe biden flipped them back and he's president united states, wisconsin, only ten electoral votes. yes, you can mathematically make it up somewhere else, but it's part of the democratic blue wall. if you are a democrat, you need it. >> john king, thanks so much to head to look at the former president's return to the campaign trail this week's democrats continue to grapple with what happens now did you see we put out a notice and don't we know one thing? and one thing only backs strained backs from weekend chores took pulled backs doing your favorite hobbies. we even know your bags don't the experts and back pain relief for more than 100 years available in a store near you our right to reproductive health care is being stolen from us i can't believe this is the world we live here where we're losing the freedom to control our own bodies. >> we need your support now more than ever, go online, call or scan this code with your $19

who he is because as a candidate and as a person not normally what you see in these kind of platforms is dozens and dozens of pages of a detailed outline of the vision of the future of the party that is just not what we saw today. this is a much shorter document. it is much more vague and it really ignores some of the hard line republican stances that have been impacted please, for decades, for example, abortion, the heart of the war on abortion in this platform is just severely watered down. there's no mention of any kind of national abortion it's embed, remember, this is something donald trump doesn't think it's a political winner and has said that he would not sign if it came across his desk. the other interesting part of this platform is no reference to traditional marriage particularly as between a man and woman. this is not something that donald trump believes should be part of the republican platform. and the last one is something seeing that as a stark difference from what we have seen in decades with republican party, which there's no emphasis on reducing the national debt instead, the emphasis is on

curbing inflation. now the rest of it really sounds exactly like what you would hear at a trump rally. he talks about immigration, mass deportations, stopping the weaponization of the government but overall, anderson, what this does, it just shows the cemented grip that donald trump has on a very changed republican party. and what about the trump campaign's game plan? >> in the run rep. the convention leaf for what do we know better well, right now, they're just preparing in general for what that convention is actually going to look like getting those speaker first in line vote. it comes to messaging. there are two schools of thought here. one, they are going to mention joe biden, but remember, there's a reason donald trump has been laying low. he's essentially should we watching joe biden and the democratic party spiral by themselves? he doesn't need to insert his own messaging, but you are likely to hear attacks on kamala harris as they are trying to figure out what exactly is going to happen next. also expect to hear this argument that if joe biden steps down from the ticket, that he should no longer be president. that is something

that republicans are really beating the drum on. and that's messaging we expect to hear at that convention as well. >> and we haven't heard much in terms of the actual speakers that's right. all we know right now is that celebrity, an amber rose is going to speak. that is the only the person that we actually know is going to speak other than donald trump. but i am told that there's going to be a number of lawmakers really a who's who likely of the people who aren't. trump's shortlist for vice president. remember his still hasn't actually made his vice presidential pick. the other thing we're likely to hear from is people who have been impacted by quote, unquote biden's policies. they're talking about everyday americans. imagine a focus on immigration. people who have had family members who have been harmed by migrant crime. obviously, we know that that number is low, but those that are still have been high profile cases also, small business owners who have been impacted by the economy, anderson, kristen holmes, thanks very much coming up next to the destruction and rescue is after hurricane beryl comes ashore in texas let's get

stopped buying granger for the ones who get it done. i'm melissa bell in paris and this is cnn tropical depression beryl is moving through texas night, headed for arkansas. bring you threat of tornadoes and heavy rain early this morning, the storm made landfall along the gulf coast, not far from sergeant texas as a cat-1 hurricane, beryl unleash powerful winds, dangerous storm surge, and he's you see from this drone video, large part of the community was flooded farther north in houston highways and city streets turned into rivers. >> as man was trapped on top of this pickup, rope was lowered from the latter of a fire truck and thankfully, he made it to dry land cnn meteorologist derek van dam joins us now from houston. so what are you seeing on the ground? >> yeah. anderson, i'm seeing a very battered city of houston as we were driving in, we saw toppled billboards, toppled trees, downed power lines. and of course, the flooding that inundated this very three road.

it's receded since then. but this is a major thoroughfare for people who work in downtown houston trying to exit the city. this was completely covered in several feet of water, not three hours ago. this storm has had a dubious track record rewriting history, books and now it made its third landfall. the first of the atlantic 2024 hurricane season here here in the united states and slamming into the texas coastline where does it go from here? well, that's the big question we know it's impacted houston in a major way. there was at one point this morning over 400 calls to 911 per hour asking for assistance there is of course, power outages significant here within harris county where houston metropolitan is located, even the mayor of houston saying that he does not have his power at his very house as well. where's the storm going? well, it's exiting quickly out of

texas and it's got its eyes set on the arkansas and mid mississippi valley. and it's bringing a tornado threat along with it. there's already been multiple tornado warnings. this time across louisiana, arkansas and into missouri but, you know, when we compare that to the wins that we experienced here in houston we had wind gusts in excess of 85 miles per hour. that is a category one hurricane. last time that happened here in houston was 2008 from her hurricane hike hike so that's really saying something and, you know with the storm creating so much wind damage, it also increased the power outages now currently sitting at two-and-a-half million plus customers without power. and the problem with that is here in houston, we have a heat advisory going forward over the next couple of days. so without that ability to cool your home down with air conditioning, no electricity, it is going to be a very difficult next couple of days
