possible to make sure the convention puts clinton in a positive light in front of a general election audience. just hours after saying she would step down as dnc chair after the convention was over, many were surprised to see debbie wassermann schultz appear on stage tess wells fargo center on sunday night. the e-mail suggests dnc staffers favored hillary clinton over bernie sanders in the democratic primaries. the vermont senator applauded her decision, but stressed his goal remains the same. >> i think the focus, though, that i am going to go forward on right now is to make sure that donald trump must not become president of the united states. >> reporter: in her first joint interview with running mate tim kaine, clinton weighed in. >> i cannot speak for people who were not working for me who were saying whatever they were saying, i can't speak to them. >> reporter: clinton's campaign manager tried to shift blame away from dnc officials to

russian hackers. >> experts are now saying the russians are releasing these e-mails for the purpose. helping donald trump. >> reporter: security is tight outside of this convention area. authorities are expecting 50,000 protesters each day of the convention. yesterday, thousands of sanders' supporters braved in tense heat as they marched downtown. >> democratic party has been colluding with hillary and they are not being democratic or fair. >> reporter: sanders is expected to push for party unity when he addresses the convention tonight. first lady michelle obama will also take the stage behind me tonight, while donna brazile will act as interim dnc chair. the dems convention is cracking up is what donald trump tweeted on twitter. scott pelley sat down with hillary clinton and senator tim

kaine for their first joint interview. >> reporter: senator, you're going to be a vice president in a white house with two presidents. >> it's an embarrassment of riches. >> reporter: what do you think of that notion? >> i think it's an all hands-on deck time. >> yeah. >> we are going to have a crackerjack staff and we are going to have, you know, great efforts with our congressional allies and others. >> reporter: when with we wrote that question, i expected you to come up out of your chair at me and tell me that there was only going to be one president. >> well, no, because i will be the president. but it does happen to be a historical fact that my husband served as president for eight year, and there is a lot that happened which helped the american people during those eight years. i want an economy that creates more jobs and that is a lot of jobs. i want an economy that gets back to raising incomes for everybody. most americans haven't had a raise. i want an economy that is going to help lift millions of people

out of poverty because given the recession we have fallen back in the wrong direction and i'm also going to be relying on president obama. i already put him on notice. i'm going to be picking up the phone and calling and asking for his advice so we are going to put them all to work. >> meanwhile, donald trump says recent changes to his proposed ban on foreigners entering the u.s. from countries compromised by terrorism is an expansion of his ban on muslims. in an interview broadcast yesterday, trump says he wants extreme vetting. also, yesterday, sunday morning senior contributor ted koppel asked trump about republican party unity and those who stayed away from the gop convention. >> what about the -- what about the elders, the party elders who didn't show up, the bush's, the kasich. >> they are all people who beat me for the most part. i helped mitt romney but i think i talked him out of running in this race.

he should have easily beaten a very badly damaged president and i was very critical of him and that is why he came out against me. jeb bush, obviously, i beat him very badly. kasich, i beat him very, very badly. kasich was beaten so badly and it's hard for people to recover. >> reporter: donald trump had once made president obama's birth place an issue. on "face the nation," cbs news political director john dickerson asked the president about trump and the birther debate. >> reporter: he was the chief birther in america, questioning you. what is your reaction of the fact that he is the nominee of the republican party? >> well, i think it says something about what has happened to the republican party over the course of the last eight, ten, 15 years. if you think about what bob dole or jim baker or howard baker or dick lugger, or what colin

powell stood for, they were conservative, they were concerned about limited government and balancing budgets and making sure we had a strong defense. but they also understood that our system of government requires compromise, that democrats weren't the enemy, that the way our government works requires us to listen to each other. and, you know, that's not the kind of politics we have seen practiced. i think all too often. coming up on "cbs this morning," the very latest on the democratic national convention live from philadelphia including john dickerson and more of his interview with the president. this morning, two major wildfires are burning out of control in california. at least one person has been killed and two dozen homes

me that this convention was going to open in chaos, the democratic national convention chairwoman was going to resign over yet another e-mail scandal, and then the clinton people say they are hearing from experts this is the fault of russians and that the russians may have been doing this to help donald trump. i mean, this is above my pay grade. i don't know. i just wouldn't have predicted this. >> speaking of trump, he hasn't toned anything down. >> he not only has not only toned it down, he has ratcheted it up took chuck todd asked him would he support a democrat over former ku klux klan leader david duke on who is running for president. he would want to know who the democrat is. i've never heard anybody qualify an answer quite like that. >> scott pelley and bob schieffer. coming up after your local news on "cbs this morning," scott pelley will have more of his talk with hillary clinton
