asked much more one interesting thing is, yeah, i think that maybe how he felt a month ago and now what it has happened in the month, i think he probably feels i think everyone feels a little a lot more settled. there's a stage back there behind that, even when joe biden is on stage, they're going to have tiktokers and instagrammers and people who are on eggs and stich and all the platforms that some of us aren't even on who will be translating what joe biden is saying to their audience. and so it's, you're right, they might not be watching linear, but they will be getting it in their feet. and if they do it right, i think it can land. >> thanks, everyone. the news continues right here on cnn and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett and welcome to a special edition of outfront tonight. harris is riding high hours before for she arrives in chicago for the

democratic national convention. she hit the road today, meeting with voters as she and her running mate tim walz make their way across the battleground, state of pennsylvania on a bus it's tour. harris is trying to build up the momentum as she takes on trump today, calling him a coward without saying his name this campaign is about a recognition that frankly over the last several years there has been this kind of perversion that has taken place. >> i think, which is to suggest, which is to suggest that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down when what we know is the real and true measure of the strength of a leader is based on lift up. anybody was about beating down other people is a coward harris also visiting a high school football practice and she was there with tim walz, of course, for football coach, and he leaned into that identity as he has talking about what they're calling their game time strategy being an old football

coach, there's an old saying you don't hope you're going to win. >> you prepared a win and you give it the best you've got. and you know, when that game is over, you want to know you left it all on the field, and that's all we're asking. let's leave it on the field. let's get this thing done and it's harris makes her way to chicago, her campaign getting a boost from several new national polls that came out today showing her leaving former president trump. >> there's a new washington post, abc news poll that has harris ahead 49 245 for trump and a cbs poll has harris with a three-point lead over trump, 51 48. now, just moments ago, harris was taking questions from reporters. she was asked about the excitement surrounding her campaign homes shows that your three points up nationally what's your response to this u.s. doesn't sit her yourself the underdog here. >> very much consider andrew we have a lot of work to do to earn the vote of the american people. that's why we're on this bus tour today well, as

for trump, he is not sitting back. >> he's are waiting for the democratic convention to end before stepping up his attacks. here's what he's planning to do over these next few days while harris is in chicago, trump is scheduled to visit but for swing states where his campaign says that he will focus on the economy, immigration crime. we'll see what he actually does. and as we've seen, he is no fan of sticking to the script. we know that he is proud of that he has struggled to land an effective attack against harris, tried different nicknames he's latest one is trying to paint her as a communist and he wrote this today. she is a communist, has always been a communist and will always be a communist after posting what appears to be an a.i. generated image of a woman standing at a podium during a communist rally. jeff zeleny is outfront live at the dnc in chicago and if i mentioned these new polls to have them abc, cbs, harris narrowly ahead in both of them three and four points. i know there's margin of error nonetheless though that is, you know in electoral politics in this country, that is, a real lead is the harris campaign.

happy with where she is right now heading into a crucial convention week where usually you get a boost here and there is no doubt that vice president harris endrick campaign are thrilled with where they are right now. now, here's why. look, this is going to be a democratic convention. you can see it's just starting to be set up here. there's some music playing, et cetera, really speaking to the excitement inside the party, this is a unified party that was no guarantee when president biden, just a month ago decided to drop out of the race, there were questions about would there be an open convention, all that, of course is ancient history. she has the party behind her. she's riding a wave of momentum here into chicago. but hearing what she said just a few moments so go in pennsylvania is so instructive. she said, look, i still see myself as an underdog. i have to explain my position to the american people. >> what that is sense of there is no room or time for over-confidence. i am told that she has instructed her

supporters and her aides that and look, even though polls look good particularly from where they were for president biden. >> this is a very close race. >> it's not like she is leading in some major way. she is just in the game. so coming into this convention, one thing i'm just trying to do is really to fill some of the blanks and around who she is trying to use this week as a time to really tell her story to the american people. people and try and use this as a way to draw a contrast with donald trump. but there is no doubt this is a much more upbeat convention that it certainly would have been. but aaron, consider this one on month ago today, the republican convention ended in milwaukee. republicans walked away feeling so guilty. things change in politics. but for democrats, at least they are coming to chicago ago feeling more confident than they'd been all year. >> all right. geoff, i mean, i guess we have all learned things can change more quickly than anyone can imagine. and maybe that gives everyone some some pause. i guess if you're in the harris campaign here to talk about this, errol louis. so the dnc, we were hours away. you heard them getting ready,

playing a little bruce springsteen. there is they're trying to wrap themselves up for the full setup here. the two new polls though, i am i mentioning a narrow lead, okay, it is a narrow lead it was under biden. it was a loss the swing is so huge and three and four points usually, we don't even talk about that as narrow in american electoral politics george w bush would describe that as a mandate. so is this really narrow or is she running away with it what she's doing? >> an amazing job? top of turning around what had been a negative trajectory, especially in those critical swing states, you don't want to lose track of the fact that this is going to be an electoral college contest. more so than a general national plebiscite. so yes, the fact that she's a head by a few points nationally, that's great. what really matters is what's happening happening in wisconsin and pennsylvania, nevada, and some of the other swing states. and they're she actually is reversing what had been losses at what had been serious losses and those losses in those key

swing states, seven or eight swing states that had sparked panic within the democratic party, where the strategies were saying, we can't turn this around. we've been outspending republicans against five to 110 to one in some cases, and some of the swing states, and we're just barely staying even so she's reversed what had been a trajectory of doom and defeat. and that in itself is worth celebrating for them. >> i should get a she's obviously she wants to define herself. now i will say there's an irony in that i understand she's vice president, but she was a presidential candidate. she has been vp for three-and-a-half years. so you would think people would know her on one hand, but also she was vp and she does feel the need to tell people who she is now she's talked about that she needs to do that. here's what she said on the campaign trail today, at a campaign stop we all hear we love our country and we know our country is going to be as strong as our willingness to fight for it. >> and to fight for what we stand for. you know, when you know what you stand for, you know what to fight for and, you

know, she's going to define hopefully for more people exactly what it is she's been starting to do so in a policy perspective, 64% in the cbs poll, americans say they know what she stands for. >> 64% at 6% say the same for trump. now i'm surprised that those numbers aren't 100 for trump and for her, i'm surprises as high as 64 in a certain sense because again, she's been the vp are you surprised 64 is higher? do you think it's low? >> well, i think it's relatively high in my humble opinion because his before he your job is not to take the spotlight. right. and to be out in front defining the administration. it's actually the opposite. you're supporting the administration. what is going to be interesting to me about how the entire dnc rolls out, which really is an opportunity to put on, frankly, a show, right? it's a little bit of a dog and pony show for the american public to define the party, to introduce hard to introduce her russia is getting on the plane by the way. >> were getting ready to go to chicago? yes. so this is actually happening live there. she is doug emhoff on her way. >> what will be interesting is the way that she comes back to

this idea did that she is for the people. if you remember back in 2020, that was your tagline, kamala harris for the people, didn't go over well with a lot of folks because it also had the connotation of being in a courtroom and a prosecutor, et cetera. but this week, when we heard the conversation around an opportunity the economy and her talking about these kitchen table issues that matter to everybody. we got again from hard her saying, look, i am for you, i am for the people i am with you. and i think that that is really the distinguishing factor here between these two candidates out there is that she is for the people well, and the other one is just pompous. right? and i think that you're going to see hard to finding herself, but also showing that separation. >> so she's trying to make that point, bryan, my question for you though, is when you look at these polls in the context of both the swing of where they were with biden, now where they are with harris, and the fact that we're talking about three and four points, which if that's actually the margin at the end of the day and i know we're talking with the popular vote, not the electoral. what we're seeing in the swing states to do you really think this is close right now? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me. yeah, i do

think it's close because you we do politics by electoral college, right? and you sort of look the way for college. it looks like a jump ball. it feels like a jump ball. its credit to the harris campaign and the democrats who have made it a jump ball, but it goes to only 64% of actually know, i think does a smaller well, if number considering she's been in politics for 20 years. but you also have to think about that 64% noah or through joe biden. so they know who through failure or they know through economic failure, they know, or three immigration failure nowhere through failure in the national stage. and that's going to be hard to run from. she's hoping for the reset. i think it's gonna be our job as republicans to paint her as the second term of joe biden. but even further to the left, dare i say socialist communist is where it's headed. and we saw some of that on friday when she rolled out price control i'll tell you this. they have price controls in this country is called rent control in some of the highest rent in the country is san francisco. so that's what price controls. >> talking about. now we could get into a discussion. i know everyone it's not about policy. yet but i would actually make a serious point here they would prefer and what the word i hear more is the word joy and i mean

that literally right? the people say that there's a joy in politics again, and right, that this is about emotion and this is about how people feel you'll and this is actually not about policy. >> that's right. i was on the phone with a friend on was on the bus tour today, who said to me, the joy is real, the camaraderie is real. what you see between these candidates, they are really enjoy those words. yeah, they're really getting along very well together and listen. i think when you we are kamala harris and you're taking a look at what's happening on the polls. it was happening in the country. i've heard for a lot of candidates and i've seen this before there's nothing like having lost an election to really make a candidate. crisp and better and was she remembers, i'm sure the 2019 when she came out, she had that huge rally in oakland, california and it was meant it was magnificent. her poll numbers were up. she was in the first or second place for a long time. >> she had the little girl as me moment and then it didn't work out and when that happens to a candidate, it really does sober them up and every single time it's made them better,

whatever happens to them, it's made them better. so i think what you're going to see from her now as you're going to see her really run a very strong campaign that's focused on election day he's on early election day, which are early voting, which is coming very soon as september. so people are really doing this. and i think on her campaign, they're focused on trying to win the big show, not just when these little small battle, which is interesting and obviously the timeline here, right arrow do used to be okay. people come back and labor day and you focus and that's when it all accelerates and then lead into election day. and now you do have early voting. >> oh, that's exactly, right coast to coast and various places. i mean, people, you know, in a sense, i'm not going to say it could be over, but for many people who are voting, they're going to, they're going to cast their votes, right? >> i mean, also, i mean, look, the timing and the strategy all have to be adjusted for that you've got to be on the ground moving votes in key swing states in september and october. i mean, you know, that means there's no time to sort of wonder about messaging. and so what you've got to get the field troops together, you've got to get the organization in place. you don't have time to

spend sort of wonder if and when it's going to come together, it has to happened right now. and so i think a lot of this is going to be frontloaded and every day that trump and the republicans fail to figure out how to effectively counter them is a good day for them. the peculiarities of this very unusual season have made this 80 day sprint to the finish. and it's going to really be something we're all going. to have to keep up with, alright, we'll all stay with us because we're going back in just a moment here. we've got new reporting from inside the trump campaign. the one word that is front and center on the campaign, it's mind this week and it is not joy. plus our donie o'sullivan on the ground in chicago speaking to uncommitted delegates. these are still not sold on harris. so what do they want to hear from? the vice president when she speaks? and i'll speak to one of the youngest delegates at the dnc. he is already taking on the republican party this redistricting he stopped is a clear power grab by republicans in the general assembly cnn is live from

reporter for the bulwark, marc caputo. he has been reporting extensively on what's been happening behind the scenes and the trump campaign. and mark a tonight and i think it's iran on a right as it does come down to a building, a hotel in chicago. of course, for trump, one should not be surprised, but still, it is interesting. you said there's one word that you keep hearing from trump insiders this week. what is it? >> survive, what they wanna do is they want to make sure to survive this week. a few weeks ago when kamala harris first got in the race and the polling started to change in the mood with democrats started to change in the electric, started to change its mood and opinions about this race. they thought harris was having a honeymoon i was going to last for a while. well, this is sort of the crest of that honeymoon and they're hoping that by the end of this week, harris doesn't climb higher in the polls already. they think that she's plateaued now the question is, is that hope or is that science? they say they have polling, they haven't shared it yet. but really right now, it's for donald trump to survive. keep

calm, carry on, and then hope that the race essentially resets after this convention and that it's a race, a new starting and labor day. >> as you say, it's unclear how much of that is hope, how much of that is science you do have new reporting though when you look inside the campaign, there's been a lot of attention but on changes that have happened, one of them is korea lewandowsky obviously highly controversial with his own issues that he had had prior is now back working with the campaign. he's the former 2016 campaign manager. what what can you tell us about? why and what is going on? >> well, i don't know if anyone can really tell us fully what's going on because this is a donald trump move in the donald trump campaign. trump all of a sudden, last week decided, well, hey, let's, let's hire corey and then everyone asked what lewandowski's going to do and no one could quite answer that question when asked that question, donald trump said, he'll be my personal envoy, but no one's ever been able to really define that sense. the best available evidence is that

now that the campaign is starting to really grow and turn into a general election posture. they transferred a bunch of staffers from the republican national committee down to palm beach county. they need to just start executing, not planning a new but executing on their plans that they've already made. and lewandowsky will help with that sort of an office it's linebacker of the real higher than the campaign made that should be paid more attention to was taylor budowich, who is an advisor of trump's for a long time, has very good relationships with him with the campaign and with j.d. vance and buddha, which is really going to be playing a large role that a lot of attention has been paid to. but what i'm told by the campaign is that taylor budowich is really going to be the higher that they're looking forward to help trump get back on message and get the campaigns want it back on track. >> all right. marc caputo. thank you very much with all that reporting from the it trump insider world. thank you. from chicago at everyone's back with me, brian, let me just start with you there though not

really. korea and tailored to start. first of all, survive. he's very clear on that word, survive means that there are people in the campaign who are very senior, knowledgeable, who are admitting they just want to try to get through this week. >> i mean, listen, it is hard to deny the last month that's taking place for kamala harris and the democrats. i mean, you sort of look at six weeks ago, they were depressed. i had friends, democratic friends who are depressed. they were thinking, you know, i don't wanna say they're having suicidal thoughts, but they're like, how does the san lwin then soon and now there's enthusiasm. so yes, you know, from our point, we want to survive the enthusiasm. it's, you know, they have data that says, that says it's crested. i've seen individual data that says is crested in these swing states so you were in sends up, but i think from our standpoint survives probably the best word you've never seen this much media coverage. somebody in politics getting nearly five weeks of positive media coverage because i will point out, remember at the start of this kamala harris was the most popular vp in american history. and all she did in that time is make 1,800 phone calls to dem inside is to get the nomination and that's what changed it,

snows the media sort of pushing the reset. and so from our standpoint, we know them media coverage is gonna be excessive positive, saying all these great things. although when you look at inflation lives not that great when you look at immigration lives not that great. but we need to survive the media push. and i think we will you know, as his body, i'm listening, and talking about the media and how the media is interpreting. and a lot of democrats felt it's way in 2016 that we had to live through the trump media onslaught and he was there everyday making his case in the media, doing live call-in shows that were being unanswered. and so this happens folks will, will will remember that and keep moving. i think what's more important here is the macro economy. we can talk about policy. that's have a little reset. the macro economy under joe biden and kamala harris in pretty good shape. you got prices, inflation, that's coming down and you have wages that are going up faster than inflation you've got jobs growth, you've unemployment down, you get all these things in the trump plan is tariffs, universal tariffs. and so we're talking about taxes on all the american people in all the products they buy. i don't think that people want to sign up for that. and then they were looking for somebody is going to keep this going, but make it real. it's

commonly harris said the other day so people's prices and they can actually afford to buy houses, buy food, and take care of them kids. >> can i just ask because this point about the polls crusting. okay and you said you've also seen this and you hear that marks reporting that they see this okay. but but yet there's still i'm sure expecting her to get yet another bump after the convention. i mean, that would be standard for anybody he got to him south after his convention and she's most likely going to get another one now, which would mean it didn't crest. >> no, i don't think it's crested at all and i think the piece of this that we're not talking about is the actual ground game here, right? so what's happened is that the harris campaign actually inherited a really great 50 state strategy for structure from the biden campaign that had already started. and so it's not surprising that jumping into this race, they are making connections with and riling up people all over the country because they have the apparatus to actually campaign organized and to do so the trump campaign never really seemed to have that. and so now they seem to be tripping over themselves in order to try to

figure out how to get out there and actually talk to voters and away to the harris campaign is way ahead, even though she seems you know, to be new and starting late. and so the infrastructure piece of the ground game is what wins elections. we can talk all day long about who gets media coverage, et cetera. but it's not a coincidence. it is. it's not a coincidence that she started off going directly to the people people and moving through the states and actually talking to voters as opposed to just simply talking through the media. >> it is also interesting that mark is using the word survive that that's one word. i mean survives not really an optimistic word. errol, i mean, i'm not trying to be i'm not trying to be funny look, it's real. >> there's 79 days left, right? that's 79 news cycles. they're going to basically have to give up four or five of them in the next week and each cycle is a really, really important and you'll never get it back. and within those polls and again, it's the details of the polls the bother, the strategists, right? which is that there are key constituencies that are moving toward kamala harris is not just a one or two points in a

key swing-state. it's that democratic leaning independents who were not all that thrilled about biden are rushing to her side of women, suburban women in particular are moving towards kamala harris voters under 40 in big, big numbers going back to kamala harris and said something you can't wait five days, ten days, 20 days. it'll all be over right. >> and yet here's the thing. and maybe this is why they use the word survive, because you, every time you start talking here, you start trying to switch it to policy that's what okay. i get it. >> the voters care of. okay. but this is what trump did this weekend. he didn't sound like you hear yes here we go i am much better looking than her. i think i'm a better look. >> in person. then kamala. >> they said no, her biggest advantages that she's a beautiful woman. i'd gone time magazine does it have a picture of her? they have this

unbelievable artists drawing her. they took a lot of pictures. it didn't work out, so they hired a sketch artist you know, he i mean, is that why i mean, listen, he's not focused on what we know are the issues that matter to the american people. >> and i think that's what that's, that's what sort of frustrating for somebody who supports trump. and i'm sure that's something that makes you giddy as well, who doesn't support trump is that we're wasting valuable seconds and not talking about the economy, not talking about inflation, not, not talking about immigration. >> those are the things that's because the guy at the top tickets talking about, right? >> like i said, i wish you were talking about the other things because it gives this panel an opportunity to talk about other things other than inflation, immigration, and the wars. i think anytime we dedicate one second, that is not talking about the economy that's not talking about inflation. had wiped out the middle class. it's, you have credit card arrows, right? that there are only a certain number of days that you can do this and campaign. so biden's winning the day is important, but it's also most important to win the

big arguments. and one of the things that are becoming incredibly clear is donald trump doesn't have a thesis he doesn't have a core argument about what's the case. he's making against kamala harris. and we've seen him in previous iterations. he tries to do this with a really drag people down strategy, little marco, crooked hillary, sleepy joe, something that grabs you in the gut that tells you something about the person it's and then he just starts bang on that every day to bring them down. he can't find that kamala harris as dangerously liberal things, just throwing things at the wall so they could find something that sticks. >> all right. >> well, we're going to see what happens here because obviously we're hours away from the dnc beginning and next our donie o sullivan is speaking with a group of uncommitted democratic delegates in chicago, who represents 100 to thousands of voters so that's a lot of voters and they are still not sold on harris. how come plus new reporting this hour about one of the big name speakers at the convention this week tv on

over 101,000 votes voters in michigan who voted uncommitted as a pro-peace, anti-war vote. >> nobody wants to see trump in november, we are a very anti-fascist movement. you're actually doing what we can to save the democratic party by saying listen, vp harris, there is a key base of over 730,000 anti-war voters who are telling you that we want to turn the page on, has the policy and safe power allison in lives, what do you want to hear from harris in chicago this week? >> i want to hear from vice president harris. how is that? she's going to turn a new page on gaza policy? see from the destructive and disastrous policy of the last ten months to one that saves lives. >> you got to meet harris briefly and michigan, we wanted to be able to speak to her directly in the fact that michigan voters would want to support her in the november election. but we can't do that right now while our family only members our friends, our loved ones, are being killed with u.s funded bonds. i told her that we need a policy shift that

will save lives my my community is telling me that they're losing tens and hundreds of their family members. and she said, it's horrific. she's been incredibly empathetic. i do have to say that more we have seen more empathy and compassion from vice president harris, but that is not enough. palestinian children can eat words. >> is there more hope in this movement, right now? but harris at the top of the ticket than there was when biden was there. >> i think that in general, we would all say we're cautiously optimistic. there is a little bit more when we feel like with vice president harris, we've already seen her changed the rhetoric a little bit, but words are not enough an erin, you heard some cautious optimism there. >> those delegates does activists, they're going to be in here, they're going to be he in the convention. most of this week working the room. of course, there's expected to be thousands, potentially tens of thousands of demonstrators outside the convention for the pro-palestinian cause. and look a question, these activists get a lot is, could this

uncommitted movement, this saying we will not vote for harris unless she changes policies on gaza. could that potentially help trump win the election? those activists that we spoke to said, that's not their problem. that is for the harris campaign. >> all right. donie. thank you very much. fascinating though. they think and as they put it, they represent 740,000 voters between them. those committed delegates. let's go outfront now to one of the rising stars of the democratic party, quentin lucas. he's the mayor of kansas city, missouri and is also a dnc delegate. he is not uncommitted. he does support kamalaharris and mayor. i appreciate your time, though, and i am curious when you hear some of these uncommitted delegates people may remember obviously in the primaries it was the ability to vote uncommitted, which many people did to register their frustration with a biden administration's policy on the israel-gaza war. but now you hear these delegates saying, look, we represent 740,000 voters and we're still not sold

what do you say to them now i think what you just heard is one step in that the vice president is communicating that she is sympathetic, that she's looking to get to a solution. >> this is not some rigid resistance to making sure that there is humanitarian relief for everyone involved in the situation. >> but it is saying that she is going to take the time to make sure that everyone feels heard. >> i think that is a positive shift in some ways from what the discussion has been in the past. i think she is some understanding to all in connection with the issue, and i expect that to pay dividends as we go go through the next few months and the election obviously you support her and you do know her personally, i'm going to show an image as some pictures of you. >> you were sitting down with her earlier this year. this was a panel that the two of you were doing on gun violence and you have then since described her as both personable and relatable. those are your words. of course, the gop ticket is using much different words repeatedly to describe her. i'll play them thank.

you. camila tamala harris is a chameleon. >> she's a fake. >> you have a candidate who is fake, fake. >> think this is a fundamentally fake person so they're using that word fake. and there was a north carolina rally just the other day where trump's supporters and we're taking that word too and starting to repeat it. here's one of them there are two and thrall with the facade that the democrats are putting up with countless it's a joke. >> thank all of that is just a fake trump is the real deal. >> she's not real so that was north carolina and pennsylvania. are you concerned about that sticking this concept of fake not at all. >> i mean, first of all, the woman has exceptional experience prosecutors statewide office, federal office, one of the fuse

actually held office at all of those different levels. she's somebody and the reason i said she was personally because i think we've heard a media narrative for years about who kamala harris is. but if you get a chance to talk to her, to listen to her, you see someone who is understanding, someone who has actually thought crime, somebody who is actually running to make a real change for america and the future, not the very vain type of campaign you see on the other side i hear fake, i guess that's the word that they're trying to stick with, but i don't know anyone who has ever met her and said that she is the least bit in authentic that she doesn't connect with almost every person who spends time to talk to her and more than anything you are seeing that any energy on the ground every battleground state. i've been to a chunk of them in each place, people are excited, they are encouraged by this campaign. and i think they're doing quite well getting that authenticity across. >> all right. well, mayor lucas, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thanks so much. >> all right. quint lucas of kansas city next new details

learning about how quickly convened pension plans are coming together after the shocking switch up at the top of the ticket. so they essentially an entirely new program. all of it, mj lee is inside the convention hall tonight and mj democrats really flooding the zone this week but obviously, in a sense, everything had to change, right? even though you had some of the same players. so what do they have planned yeah, erin, we are about to see a completely different convention than the one that we would have seen for weeks ago. >> and of course, some of the biggest changes have come to the programming and the speaker's lineup. many of the big names that we expected to hear from when it was supposed to be president biden at the top of the ticket, they are still going to speak, but there have been some notable timing changes. of course the biggest one being president biden himself, who's going to we'll be speaking tomorrow night instead of on the final night. and somebody else we're going to be hearing from tomorrow is hillary clinton. she of course eight years ago accepted the party's nomination for the presidency in philadelphia before months later, losing the election to donald trump. and i spoke with somebody who is

familiar with her thinking and they tell me that tomorrow night she is going going to be talking about that proverbial glass ceiling that she couldn't fully shattered eight years ago. and what she believes as possible, once kamala harris does, now those two women have actually been in touch regularly. i am told since president biden dropped out and actually hillary clinton was one of the first bone calls that the vice president made that sunday that the president dropped out, but aaron, it's really interesting talking to some of the convention planners. they basically have told me that that change at the top of the ticket from president biden to vice president harris basically happened just in the nick of time. a lot of the sort of infrastructure was already fully baked in including the set design that you see behind me. but some of those final details that you see executed just in the final weeks heading into a convention, they hadn't actually happened yet. for example, it's just even the printing of the harris biden-harris signs, i should say, and some of the videos that we're going to see this week, most of them had not been recorded yet is what i'm being told by convention planners,

but do expect throughout the course of the week to see ods. i'm told to president biden as one person involved with the convention planning, told me earlier today, we felt it was important that people still be removed i ended that president biden really set the foundation for this convention. >> aaron, an interesting and of course they have him on the first side. it makes sense, you know, sorting the passing of the torch, but incredible to see something this big being turned around so quickly alright, thanks so much. mj and i want to go now to erick willoughby. he'd be one of the youngest delegates at the dnc this week. and eric, your 18, i know you are from north carolina now, a key state. what did not look like, it was winnable a month ago. it's certainly seems that it could be now and you first gained national attention as high school senior when you can fronted republicans in your state at a hearing about redistricting. and i just want to play a little bit of that for everybody if these people cannot be trusted to protect our most basic rights how can we trust them to draw fair and impartial maps that will

promote a healthy and vibrant democracy. >> this redistricting stunt is it clear power grab by republicans in the general assembly. so i urge you now watch your step. be very careful in what you choose to do, because young people like me are watching and young people like me are fed up and eric willoughby is outfront now. erik everyone gets a sense there of how your speaking and your passion, your candor. you're not afraid to speak out. so what is it about vice president? >> no, know and there you are tonight. >> so what is it about vice president harris? eric specifically? that gets you excited vice president harris served as the district attorney of san francisco. >> the attorney general of california. us senator from california it's very clear to me that the vice president values justice. justice is something that myself and many other young people find incredibly valuable in a candidate and considering donald trump is at 34 times convicted felon, i don't think

that's the road of justice that we want to go down as young people in north carolina. our state motto is essay calm verde, to be he rather than to see him, we don't like frauds. >> north carolina is going to vote for the real deal and that real deal is kamala harris all alright, we're you this enthusiastic eric, when you were going to be voting for president joe biden? >> listen, i'm going to start and say this. there's been a massive enthusiasm, bump across all fields where young people, all people, all people are more enthusiastic about voting for joe biden i've always been a politically geared individual, so i was enthusiastic about politics nonetheless, but i absolutely so a lot more energetic about kamala harris. >> alright, so let's talk about some of the new polls. eric and i'm sure you've had a chance to see these, but looking at young voters like yourself, 64% of voters under 30 right now support harris and that's a 30 point 30.30 points more than trump, just about 30 points more longtime gop pollster frank luntz, i saw this on twitter and i'm sure you saw it. but he said he was

trying to do a focus group and find undecided voters under the age of 27. i don't know why that was the demarcation, but under 27 and he said is what he posted. i can't recruit young women to this because they don't exist is undecided voters the people who are undecided have all collapsed towards harris. what are you hearing from friends your age? and are you hearing eric from people who are sort of in that in that category, the franks talking about the category that frank was talking about very much did exist before the president dropped out of the race. but now i think kamala harris has consolidated those voters behind her fully. young folks like me are incredibly opinionated and i'm not afraid to share our opinions and i think donald trump is seeing that work against him right now. >> and what do you think about the palestinian issue? obviously, kids are gonna be going back to college friends are gonna be going back to school. do you think that this is how big of an issue is this going to be? we do understand this week there will be tens of thousands of people people marching in opposition to the israeli war in gaza outside

this convention. so it could be very palpable this week absolutely. >> and i have friends on both sides of this issue is who of this issue who feel incredibly strongly about this. i mean, this is an issue that tugs at the heartstrings of course and foreign policy absolutely means a lot in the campaign. but young folks right now i think are uniting a lot more behind the reproductive rights messaging, climate messaging. fair redistricting messaging, even as unsexy a topic has that is, i'm eating we'd like fairness. so i think those are the bigger issues that young focus or that young voters are beginning to focus on. >> and i know it's an issue of obviously great passion for you as i just played that sound bite for everybody. but eric, hey, thanks so much. look forward to meeting in person this week. and thanks so much for coming on tonight. appreciate it thanks for having me. all right. and next breaking news live pictures out of chicago the national guard now on standby ahead of the convention oh, i'm good.

national convention gets underway, security is a top priority it takes several days to put these security perimeters into effect secret service deputy special agent in charge, derek mayer has been more than a year directing the planning for this massive event. united center has been closed down now for almost almost a month. as you can look at this entire permanent will take over. the work that goes into putting something like this into effect non-scalable fencing will surround two locations. the united center and mccormick place law enforcement will also have support from the air on the ground and in the water. security officials are on alert for possible retaliatory attacks against democrats more than a month after the attempted assassination of former president donald trump, according to a new intelligence report on the dnc obtained by cnn, i think the world is very dangerous it's place nowadays, when you look at the overall threat landscape, what is the most concerning thing to you? >> i mean, i think from the secret service perspective overall, i think everything you

have to take every risk, every threat, syria basically as war rages in the middle east, angry protests are expected during the dnc the chicago metropolitan area is home to deal largest palestinian population in the u.s. and thousands of pro pro-palestinian protesters have marched downtown for months absolutely. >> there will be tens of thousands just of people, especially if there's an expanded war, chicago has hosted several political nominating conventions in the past none more notorious than 1968, the city has been unable to shake the memory of those violent clashes. chicago police superintendent larry snelling says department is training for high stress and high risk. >> well, we've also given our offices extensive training to help them deal with these types of protests was dress him occultation frame, just putting them through real-time scenarios, which is going to help them out there chicago police will lead any response
