public is going to send him back in on november 6th just my take the best argument. and i think that it has they've been using it to the sum effect. is that a vote for president biden is a vote for the democratic ticket and it's associated policies. they have to get really practical. they have to lead with you may not like joe biden, you might have concerns about his age but this is what it means if this is what another trump presidency i mean, for the country, they've been deploying that argument and that is really, i think the only card is able to tough part that was the vice president. her numbers are pretty bad as well though that's the tough part, right? the person who will end up being the president and for the next four year term her numbers are pretty abysmal as well. so if you had a very pop, you get wes moore or josh shapiro's high on the ballot? so we got to go, but we're going to continue to stay on top of this story >> the president is about to speak. we will have live coverage. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. i'll see
4:01 pm
you tomorrow night right now, a stage in michigan that's where president biden is about to speak any moment at a rally, a state his campaign admits is crucial, is key as must win to their path to victory in november, biden is trying to steady his campaign. he's trying to shift the national attention back to trump. we're gonna be taking this rally live here. we do anticipate in walking up there any second, biden's rally in michigan does follow some welcome news for the president today, according to a new poll, biden is statistically bleed tied with trump actually up 50, 50 to 48%. now that is statistical tie although he's the one directionally up there.
4:02 pm
and that is the same exact margin that biden had before the debate a poll is a poll, it's a moment in time, it is a poll. it is still something to consider and it is not stopping for new democratic house members though today from calling for biden to step aside, the total number right now tonight of those making that call of the president is 19. also tonight, a group of 20 for former democratic lawmakers are now calling for an open convention for the democrats. i want to get straight to arlette sines. she's with the president in detroit and as i said, he's gonna be walking out there and that screen a moment. we're going to listen to him when he does our lead though as he is preparing to walk out, he did make a few unplanned and prompt do stops before this event. and, you know they were not they were not at the schedule. but you were able to observe and he's clearly trying thank to take the advice of some of his critics and do these impromptu events that he really is erin president biden is
4:03 pm
expected to take the stage any minute now, here at this high school in detroit, michigan but before he came to this high school, he made about 15 minute stop at a local restaurant with congresswoman debbie dingell. she is among those who has urged president biden really to hold these more impromptu, unscripted type of events to show voters he is up for a second term. the president's spent 15 minutes in that room walking around, holding a microphone without any teleprompter in sight? as he tried to make his case to these voters. and he very explicitly a tried to assure these voters about his candidacy, saying, i promise you i'm okay. it comes as there is major anxiety within the democratic party is something that biden's advisers have acknowledged, but they are trying to set up this, these types of moments it's these trips across the country to show voters that he is up for a second term in office. now, one thing that president biden is expected to do tonight in his remarks here in detroit, is really trying to lean into
4:04 pm
drawing a contrast with former president donald trump when it pertains to policy, the president is quite eager to tie trump to project 2025. that is that conservative policy blueprints that trump has tried to distance himself, but democrats are very eager to continue hammering away at trump at, as they believe it would pose significant threats to the rights and freedoms of americans in this country. the president in his remarks is expected to really portray hey, project 2025 and trump's presidency as dane, deadly, deadly, serious at this moment. now, president biden really wants to try to refocus the conversation in this debate to be on donald trump instead of the issues that he is having within his own campaign. but we have increasingly seen these democratic law maker is openly express their concerns about biden staying in this race. close to 20 now saying that she needs to step aside. so biden is hosting his team are really hoping that events like this will help get his candidacy
4:05 pm
back on track, putting him in front of voters, having them see him perform day-to-day as he's looking to make his case that he is up for for a second term absolutely and i spent on that campaign trail. >> right. he's giving a speech, he's done the press conference, watched, i believe by close to 25 million people in america watched that press conference last night now, these rallies, which up to this point would not have been something that you would see on live television. we're going to see them and that is that is part of what the president clearly knows he needs to do right now. i want to go to jeff zeleny in washington, who has been breaking so many details on this story. and i know jeff, you've just gotten off the phone with a source. what have you learned? >> it's been an extraordinary really another day, 15 days now since that debate performance. and where things stand at the end of this friday in washington are a mess, quite frankly, in the words of one democratic operative, this is a circular firing squad and they do not see a way out several things happen here before the president isn't it flew to
4:06 pm
michigan, he had a meeting last evening with hakeem jeffries, the democratic house leader. and i am told that there was no implicit endorsement and that was clear from the statement he put out today. he said he shared candid views. but when you stop and think about the house democratic leader going for a one-on-one and meeting with the president, perhaps a couple of aides were also in the room without endorsing him. erin, that tells you what you need to know about the views of democratic members of congress. they're worried about their own elections and even more of them came out today urging the president to step aside however, the president is taking this to the people we saw him campaigning in michigan this afternoon will see him at this rally tonight. i am struck right now by this ironic moment in march of 2020, joe biden stood in this exact same high school gymnasium right before the michigan primary. and this is where he said he would be a bridge to the future. it was in this very high school auditorium. in fact, i was
4:07 pm
there just a couple of months ago talking to some young voters about what they think of president biden and him being a bridge. she was asked about that last evening and he said one of the reasons he is staying in this race is because of how serious things became the administration with covid with the economy. but it will be interesting tonight to see if the president references that bridge remark. he was standing at that moment by a flanked by camila harris, senator cory booker, michigan governor gretchen whitmer. he was presenting himself as the bridge to the future of the party. and now of course, he is running for reelection and it is so controversial among democrats themselves, the moment he finds it's himself here is the one of crisis, but he's surrounded by supporters as you can see in that gymnasium. so this could give him some life to go another day erin? >> yeah, absolutely. and of course, he will point to and ironically, right, the polls, second polls since the debate to show no change statistically tied, but with biden up to
4:08 pm
important i do, i do note the irony of a president who has disdain for the polls recently and has made no, no, no. so bones about that. but in michigan and you mentioned having been in that very auditorium, are jim where he's going to appear in just a moment, jeff, it is the latest that we understand from the biden campaign, right? that any path to victory to 270 electoral votes go through michigan goes through michigan, a state that even prior to this, had challenges for him, given what's going on in israel with the war in gaza, what does michigan look like right now for biden? >> and there it is more than just the concern over the war in gaza. it's the economy, it's inflation. but this is the bottom line. there is no path to reelection for joe biden without winning michigan or wisconsin, or pennsylvania. this is central for all to his path. so yes, he's trying to make this case there, but it is a more difficult case than it was even before the debate. it was complicated for him. but some new comments coming in this evening from the head of
4:09 pm
the uaw, shawn fain, a really raising some pointed observations about president biden. listen to what he said said just a little while ago you know, in this election we can't put our hands in our heads in the sand and hide from reality we tried that in 2016 and it didn't work. >> people just wanted to buckle down and hope for the best knowing that we weren't meeting the moment and we see it happening again, though. very few people are willing to speak up about it so the translation for that is 2016, he's referring to the clinton campaign, hillary clinton narrowly lost michigan to donald trump in 2016. >> and yes, the uaw has endorsed president biden. we can and remember those images of the picket line president biden being the first sitting president to stand on a picket line in michigan. now the head of the uaw, they are still supportive and endorsing at least the leadership, but
4:10 pm
calling out this moment, saying we saw in 2016, people wanted to buckle down and hope for the best, but fearing the worst so those are very stark comments framing this entire conversation about michigan. but there is no doubt the roadmap, if president biden proceeds, as he said, he will, michigan is more difficult and even more than that, the battleground indeed has expanded minnesota now is in play. the democratic governor tim walz has said so himself, new hampshire, a blue state, also in play so this is where the campaign finds itself so president biden trying to claw back here, no doubt, but it's a tougher race than it was just two weeks ago. erin all right. jeff zeleny, of course, stay with as an arlette sines, i said is in that room, has been traveling with the presence press corps today. so we're going to see exactly what's happening. we anticipating walking out on that stage any moment i did mention though the democratic lawmakers today, who
4:11 pm
have, you've got a few more coming out against the candidacy. obviously, the poll coming out showing biden no change since before the debate itself. let's go to sunlen serfaty because she's on capitol hill. so sunlen, what are you hearing from lawmakers tonight? >> well, erin, they're certainly has been a drip, drip, drip of a handful of additional lawmakers today calling for president biden to step aside. but behind the scenes, we are hearing that there are many others who are in essence waiting in the wings to lawmakers telling cnn today that there is a group of additional lawmaker there's that very likely could come out and call for him to step aside. but the feeling is that a lot of people are waiting to see this consistent action from president biden while out on the campaign trail, consistency is the key here, according to many who are watching this now we know that president biden is team has really ramped up the congressional outreach today.
4:12 pm
i'm holding in a series of call with specific groups here in congress, many of whom have been behind the scenes critical. i talked to the congressional hispanic caucus. he will speak tomorrow to two similar groups that progressive caucus as well very clear that they understand it. they've got to keep up this outreach especially ads and notably as members head back to their districts, lawmakers went back to their home districts late last night. there'll be there for recess all next week and it's very clear that lawmakers are taking in the opinions so many of their constituents that hearing it out while they're out in their districts. in many of the statements that lawmakers this week issue, they say, we heard from our constituents. this is what i heard and that factored into my decision congressman cori bush, notably earlier today, she's a member of the congressional black caucus so far has stood by president biden. she is not publicly said whether she's with him or not. but she said
4:13 pm
100% of the calls coming into our office are calling for him to step aside. erin all right. sunlen. thank you very much. and let's go back to arlette in that room, that gymnasium in the high school where the president is going to appear in just a moment for his rally. and obviously he's a bit delayed here. so arlette, what do you understand is happening behind the scenes and also looking at that room behind you and we have a different angle from our camera on the other part of our screen. who's there we'll president biden when he arrived here at the gym and actually spend some time backstage and he participated. >> he went to speak to an overflow room of supporters. he spent just a brief period of time there. so that was really one of those efforts for the credit campaign. to try to put biden in these more off-the-cuff moments where he is engaging with supporters without a teleprompter in hand. we expect that right now, president biden is going through a photo light of the various people who are
4:14 pm
attending this event. but the biden campaign has also been quite eager to highlight the people who are in attendance. they have leaders from various unions, including the afl-cio. they have representatives from the local chapters of the n double acp national action network as they are trying to highlight the support within the black community the, that the president has. there's also people, leaders from latino groups, reproductive rights groups, gun safety organizations, as they are all trying to highlight, the coalition that could support biden in november. now i will note president biden will be introduced he used by pastor cindy rudolph. she is a reverend at a local ame church, a church that serves a mostly black community, and that is a group that you seen biden go-to time and time again as he's made his case to voters, i was with him in philadelphia just on sunday when he spoke at another black church and at that service, the president was making his case for saying this race, but you also heard this enthusiastic support from the past are urging the president
4:15 pm
to stay the course to keep running, even as he is facing subzero previous doubts within his democratic party, the biden campaign believes that they can really try to rally that support among the black community, even though even heading into the debate, biden had been struggling with black voters in some areas against donald trump. now, before this event, i also spent some time talking to voters here in the crowd, like this is obviously a crowd that is here to see joe biden. they probably have a tendency to the support joe biden, the people that i spoke to a really firmly believed that he should remain in this race. one woman telling me that, yes, there was a weakness on that debate night, but everyone should be allowed to have a night like that. and she's still has confidence that the president can wage this campaign. the president really, he's likely speaking to a friendly audience here, but he still needs it's to make up the minds of so many voters across the country. and in this critical battleground state, as many continue to have questions about the president's age and health and his standing in this race following that debate, just two weeks ago alright, well,
4:16 pm
arlette, thank you. and obviously important context you have that 15-minute impromptu campaign stop at a restaurant before he arrived at this jim in detroit that delayed him a little bit. then meeting with people on an overflow room as arlette just reported, and now on a photo line and we'll see when he comes out but in the meantime, though, i know jeff zeleny, you we talk about what we're going to hear from him and what he actually said that at that impromptu campaign stop where he did talk about the debate, he talked about how it was bad. he talked about how he is confident. he says that he can serve another four more years. are we going to see a shift from him? i know you've got just gotten off the phone with some sources on sort of what we expect to hear from the president. >> when you're in 11 thing we know president biden is going to do is try and shift the conversation to donald trump. that is the biggest worry of democrats overall that 15 days have been spent talking about joe biden's condition, whether people think he is strong enough to run or not? but this was an election about strength in the first place it was as it
4:17 pm
was designed by the biden campaign's view, at least to be a referendum on donald trump so he's going to try and turn the conversation back, of course, to the trump campaign. but that is not going to quiet the concerns, but aaron, i was struck last evening watching the final moments of that news this conference and talking to advisers today, they said he did indeed strike a new tone, not nearly as combative or defiant. and in fact, he's listening more and needs to show people that he hears their concerns. so you heard him joking this afternoon as he made a stop in a diner. he was talking about his age and a joking way. so i expect him to do a bit more of that tonight. but aaron, someone else who is not on stage there tonight is governor gretchen whitmer. she had a previously scheduled event, but also the senate candidates michigan is also home of one of the most competitive senate races in the country. so that also is the backdrop to so much of this just yesterday afternoon a western michigan member of congress, congresswoman, hillary scholten, said she
4:18 pm
believes the president should step down. she's that she's been hearing from her constituents. yes, he's width debbie dingell. we can see him walking out here now into this a high school gymnasium. motown is joe town. he certainly hopes that is the case but it is not the people in the audience there. he needs to convince it's his own fellow democrats. of course, as well as voters across michigan. and indeed that blue wall we can't say this enough. he cannot win reelection without winning michigan and pennsylvania, and wisconsin. but so striking how he's here again trying to make his case to michigan voters. there and very important, and i were i believe he's going to be introduced now. >> so as we watch that geoff, let me just ask you, i know you have some additional reporting about basically, i don't know why there was a meeting or conversation between nancy pelosi and barack obama about biden's status in the race. what have you learned? >> erin, we do know this week that nancy pelosi, the former house speaker and former
4:19 pm
president barack obama, had a conversation, at least one perhaps more about the state of this race. and this is why so many democrats are wondering with anxiety what they can do is they've been reaching out to both of them. so they've been sort of serving as a sounding board, but nancy pelosi has been much more out front about this. we remember her comments from wednesday, of course, saying that this decision has not been made. she opened the door to the very idea that the president may still be deciding what he's going to do. in fact, he had already decided that he's in the race so the obama or pelosi connection here when the history books of this are written, many democrats, i believe, who i've been speaking with say that it will show that they are trying to guide this discussion. now president obama, for his part, is trying not to be heavy-handed here. no one can tell president biden what to do they're trying to give him the space to make that decision. but you can just hear the applause there and hear the support he's going to
4:20 pm
definitely boost and elevate president biden without question. >> well, listen to the crowd, everyone there chanting four more years, the polls today show it. it took the race and changed since before that based are to understand how anybody would eagerly jumped out of the race. let's listen in. here to this rally as it begins to present a transformative leader i say, i say transformative because when our nation urgently needed proven leadership not only met the moment but he ushered in light, giving change our economy was teetering on the brink of recession president biden
4:21 pm
turned it around remarkably because of the biden harris administration, we have seen lower prescription drug prices and lower health care premiums nearly 170 billion in student loan forgiveness in the american workforce than any point in history nationwide rebuilding of infrastructure the signing of the first significant gun safety law in 30 in small businesses, over 16
4:22 pm
billion in support for historically black colleges and universities the list goes on a woman. as a pastor, i am grateful that president biden operates out of compassion for people. the people he serves rather than serving his own interests like me other side you see? you see while trump is promoting autocracy president biden is bending democracy misinformation and, disinformation. while president biden fosters transformation at
4:23 pm
elevation trump wants to. move us backward in 2025, but president biden wants to see us bloom and thrive wants to be president. but president biden wants freedom to rain tax cuts for the wealthy, but president biden wants to keep america helping have vocalized their doubts there are still plenty of us raise the biblical prophet elijah biden that. you,
