that pete buttigieg who said not since f dfrjtr chose his vice president has a president candidate's age and health been an issue. and j.d. vance is no harry truman. i think that was the line of this climate. >> remember nobody wanted harry truman as vice president. no one. >> and he stepped down after one term. arguably, sarah palin, john edwards and dan quayle despite what may have happened in the first weeks of the rollout didn't help the top of the ticket. >> doug high, steve israel, thanks to both of you. that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." "chris jansing reports" starts right now. >> good day. i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. after the big splash comes the bigger test. with the harris campaign and democrats across the country

still buzzing from week one of harris for president, the question now is whether they can keep it going. how will they turn this political high into a strategy that can last three more months. a week ago republicans were on their own high with an advantage in money and polling. now donald trump is reverting to an old tune at his rallies, election fraud. is that a sign of strategy or panic? later today, president biden will make his case for changes at the nation's highest court. he says the country wants it, but if congress doesn't, are we right back where we started? another busy day. we start with vice president kamala harris working to catch lightning in a bottle, trying to capitalize on her campaign's momentum. with the honeymoon phase ending, "the new york times" says ms. harris now faces harder tasks in the coming weeks, maintaining that enthusiasm as the initial excitement fades. as former president donald trump and his campaign sharpen their

attacks against her. but she is not fighting alone. at least eight democrats are on nbc's short list to be her running mate, and several of them have been out making the case for her while simultaneously raising their own profiles among democratic voters. i spoke to one of them, kentucky governor andy beshear after he held a campaign event for harris in the battleground state of georgia just yesterday. >> we are seeing more energy than i have ever seen in politics. i went this morning to what's supposed to be a ruby red county on this weekend of action. they were hoping there might be 50 people, and we had 300-plus. they are fired up. they don't want to go back. they want to move forward. >> i want to bring in nbc's dasha burns in mouk pennsylvania where two governors, josh shapiro and grech earn whitmer are campaigning on harris' behalf later today. allie raffa is covering the white house. with me in studio, sarah

feinberg, democratic strategist and former senior official with the obama administration. we were saying it's been a bit. great to see you. >> great to see you. >> harriss that three weeks to go before the convection. how does she capitalize on the enthusiasm? >> "the new york times" says hard days are ahead and the sugar high is ending. i see no evidence of that at the moment. the sugar high seems to be continuing. like governor beshear just said, there's significant enthusiasm. we've seen a 20-point boost in enthusiasm. by the way, in a state like kentucky you don't get much democratic en truce as even at this late stage of the game. >> i was arguing to my team, a sugar high wears off quickly, by its very nature. >> that's so right. but as the mom to a 6-year-old, sugar highs last about 20 minutes and then it's a nightmare. we've been going for a while here. there's so much enthusiasm is you can see the future. it feels really good, and trump

is just playing into the game, right? he names j.d. vance as his vice presidential nominee. democrats are straining to debate him. they're so eager to run against him. i think even people in the republican party are embarrassed. independents are seeing a side to the trump campaign that's like, how can you make a decision like this? my money is on trump considering whether he can get rid of vance at this point. >> there are people who agree with you, including chuck schumer. there's so much great publicity. it's backed up by the numbers, by the polling, by the fund-raising. "new york magazine," in fact, has a cover and the headline is kamalot. it shows top democrats celebrating she's at the top of the ticket. but is it possible, do you worry at all that democrats will get a little over their skis? 99 days, which is what's left, is both a lifetime and as fast as can be in politics. >> that's right. if democrats will do one thing, they'll get a little paranoid

and a little nervous and they won't take things for granted. i don't worry too much they'll let this go on for a long time. i think you're seeing a lot of enthusiasm because there's a real trust and belief that kamala harris will go out and talk about things that will bring independents, moderate democrats as well as the base to the polls. it's not just a sugar high. it's also confidence in how this will go moving forward. >> dasha, take me to pennsylvania. how are shapiro and whitmer -- although whitmer has said no -- taking harris' message and running with it? >> reporter: come on over to pennsylvania, chris. we've talked many times about how important this state is. that could be a leg up for governor josh shapiro. he has a huge amount of popularity and sway in the state. he's been a bipartisan governor. it's what he ran on when he ran for governor in 2022. i covered that campaign. he's largely seen as having executed on it, bringing both parties together. governing over a split

legislature. he is somebody who could bring that to the ticket. he's going to be here today alongside gretchen whitmer who is also a possible contender. that would mean a historic ticket with two women on the ticket. shapiro would be the first jewish vice president if nominated if they did, in fact win. for voters here in pennsylvania, he's got about a 61% favorability rating right now according to a recent poll. he's someone who democrats in the state are really advocating for. he's gotten endorsements from union leads, the philadelphia mayor, the pennsylvania democrats. they are pushing for him pretty hard. still quite a list of contenders right now, chris and a limited amount of time to make a decision. >> dasha burns, thank you for that. ali, these candidates are doing a lot of work right now, going to pennsylvania, georgia, minnesota. that's just in the past few days. "the times" also points out

this, harris has to prove themselves to those independent swing voters in the battleground states. for all the record fund-raising and meme excitement, harris hasn't started indicating how she plans to do so. so far, this is what the times says, harris has mostly been talking to friendly democratic audiences. she has yet to make her case in more challenging venues. what do we know about her stance with voters and any plans she has to get out into perhaps less friendly areas. >> if you look at polls from before president biden dropped out of the 2024 race, vice president harris was trailing him in support among those swing voters. but since she replaced him, we have seen a bump in her favorability across the board, but especially in a new poll. among this enthusiasm from specifically independent voters, you saw an enthusiasm bump from

49% compared to 31% for former president trump. harris knows even though she's been able to rally democrats around her, one of the big chapel levengs ahead is as she vo dueses hir to the electorate is courting those more moderate voters, those more independent voters who didn't necessarily warm up to her in 2020 and don't see her and president biden as one in the same as far as their candidacies for president. so the harris campaign at this point has to figure out how to continue having the support from the moderates that had been locked in when president biden was at the top of the ticket, but also they have a couple resources at their disposal to be able to do that. obviously that massive war chest of $249 million that she inherited and added in the last week $200 million more that could go to more resources. she could also use more moderate surrogates to stump for her on

the campaign trail. of course, another big factor going into this, as she tries to court those voters who is she picks as he running mate in just a few days. chris, you know, i know, at the end of the day this all comes down to numbers. this was already a very tight race when it was just president biden and former president trump. that race is now even tighter as vice president harris replaces the president. we're going to see an aggressive effort by both campaigns to win this bloc of voters. we could expect to see more get out the volt efforts, more voter registration efforts. >> the whole vp thing has really exploded, right? in a way, always, there's this kind of horse race and it's fun to talk about. this somehow has a different feel. i don't know if you sense that. one of those candidates, minnesota governor tim walz was

asked whether his legislative record would add, some of the programs he's adapted, programs for kids in school to get meals, college tuition for those who can't afford it. anyway, this is what he said about that. >> what a monster. kids are eating and having full bellies so they can learn, and women are making their own health care decisions, and we're a top five business state, and we also rank in the top three of happiness. look, they're going to label whatever they're going to label. he's going to roll it out, mispronounce names to try to make the case. the fact of the matter is, where you see the policies that vice president harris was a part of making, democratic governors executed those policies. quality of life is higher, economies are better. if that's where they want to lanl me, i'm more than happy to take the label. >> so, look, that's part of it,

right? the campaign has got to watch and say who can prosecute our case in the way our top of the ticket can prosecute the case. there's another part of it. is it their record? is it their home state? is it their fund-raising ability? what are you watching for? >> i'm watching for a vp candidate who can go out, talk to independents and bring the democrats home. that is common sense solutions. i know governor shapiro, i know governor beshear. they're all candidates that can talk about common sense solutions. you can see feeding kids at school adds liberal and progressive. every parent knows if a child doesn't have a full belly, they're not paying attention to learning to read and write. >> two of them are in states that are winnable by democrats. a third, which governor beshear is not exactly on the map. does that become an eliminating or an including factor? >> look, i think you've got to

pick a vice president based on can they make the case, how are they going to do on the campaign trail, can they cover things where i'm focused on something else and can i work with this person for the next four to eight years. it's less about, if we're talking about winning in kentucky, we're in great shape. i think it's more about can you work with this person and can they make the case to the american people. every single one of the eight you put up there is so good at that. >> sarah feinberg, you're going to stay with me. later this hour the chair of the dccc will be here to explain how they plan to keep the energy going for the down ballot races. first, brand new signs all this momentum is putting major pressure on republicans with the former president returning the a familiar tune on the campaign trail, plus will we actually see a trump-harris debate? we've got the late evident on that coming up. the late evident that coming up recipes. recipes that are more than their ingredients.

jonathan, is trump laying the groundwork already for a possible loss or is this just more of him saying the fix is always in? >> all of the above, chris, or at least both of them, he's absolutely laying the groundwork for a possible loss. he's saying, as always, the fix is in. it's the pattern of donald trump, we've seen for a third consecutive presidential election cycle where he basically says if he doesn't win, the other side must have cheated. in 2016 he presented the possibility and won the election. suddenly believed it was a free and fair election. in 2020, of course, there were lawsuits after lawsuits after lawsuits where he tried to prove that the election had been overturned and court after court after court rejected that. obviously we saw his claims lead

to the culmination of the january 6th attack on the capitol. there is danger in what he says, and yet here we go again in 2024 with him laying out this construct that either he wins or the other side must have cheated. >> he said this to an audience of christians at the believers summit. >> again, christians get out and vote! just this time. >> you won't have to do it anymore. four more years. you know what? it will be fixed, it will be fine. you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful christians. i love you christians. i'm a christians. you've got to get out and vote. in four years ago, you don't have to vote again. in four years we'll have it fixed so good you won't have to vote. >> there's one interpretation he's talking about turning this country into a place where you

no longer can go and choose who you want to lead it. on the other hand, it may be more of him saying vote for me, i'll fix everything. not only that, i'm going to fix it really, really, really fast. i think the fact that we're struggling with the interpretation is the problem, right? he leaves enough vagueness to have us guess what his motivations are. in this case i'm going to be charitable. i'm going to say i think he means he's going to be such a great president that we need governance anymore, that everything is fixed. of course, that's absurd. he's not going to be that president. no president is that president. this is the issue with trump. he walks these lines that make you wonder what his motivation is and how dangerous he would be to the future of our political system. then he turns around and says he's joking and how dare we do that? >> kate rooney is reporting for

us from palo alto. you're in silicon valley with j.d. vance is stopping at a fund-raiser today. what's the mood there? >> reporter: chris, i would say the mood has shifted. there are former democrats who are attending the fund-raiser tonight for j.d. vance in silicon valley who have voted for democrats for decades. they say their gripes are at the agency level. if it's a cryptocurrency executive, they've fiek en issue with what the sec has done and scrutiny over deal making. j.d. vance is a familiar face for many here in the valley. he was a former venture capitalist himself. he worked for peter teal who was a co-founder of paypal. a lot of folks in the paypal mafia, elon musk, david sachs who raised the profile of j.d. vance, helped him rally support from other wealthy donors and bring in fund-raising support as well. this is very much kamala harris' back yard. as you mentioned, on track to raise about $100 million from

other wealthy tech donors. there's a bit more open-mindedness when it comes to the this. >> kate rooney, thank you for that. sam, vance's fund-raising blitz comes as he faces pushback from him say talking about childless kate ladies when he ran for senate in 2021. what i found fascinating, some of the toughest comments came from trey gowdy, a conservative, talking about women he met at an airport. here's that. >> they're kagd lick nuns, childless, dedicated to god, love this country. living a life of service. it's not just catholic nuns. some of the finest people i know don't have children, they love

other's children enough to teach, guide, protect, minister to them. do you agree that there people who very much love this country and are invested in its future but they also happen to be childless? >> of course i believe that, trey. if you look at the full context what i said, it's very clear the democrats have tried to take this thing out of context. really what i'm trying to get at, trey, it's important for us to be pro family as a country. >> have his comments been taken out of context? what are you hearing, sam, about nervousness among republicans with jd? >> the first is i don't think they've been taken out of context. obviously political hay has man made out of it. that's what you do in politics. it wasn't someone-often comment. he was trying to make the case that people who don't have children does have as much stake in the game as people who do have children. even went so far as to say their

power should be diluted. so, no, i don't think they've been taken out of context. alzheimer's for what i'm hearing, what you saw in the trey gowdy clip gets at the rub, which is people understand that this is highly damaging, it of ferndz a lot of people who have wanted to have chirp and who can't or people who chose not to have children as a lifestyle choice. a party that really suffering among women voters, typically suburban women voters, this could be deeply offensive to them. there's r is a loet of agitation and concern. he's going on news interviews and taken to task like that. >> hammered. sam stein, john allen, thank you. coming up, there are escalations in the middle east that are prompting new fears of a wider war. we've got a live report both from israel and lebanon after this. a new fda approval today

the middle east is bracing for israel's response to a rocket attack from lebanon that killed 12 children and teenagers in the golan heights over the weekend. today prime minister netanyahu visited the scene of the attack, the deadliest in israeli

occupied territory since october 7th vowing our response will come and it will be hard. that promise raising fears that the months-long tit-for-tat fighting between israel and hezbollah could escalate into all-out war. nbc's raf sanchez is in northern israel. matt bradley is on the ground in beirut. raf, israel's response -- two men, netanyahu and the defense minister, gallant, what are they saying about where this goes from here? >> reporter: chris, from the perspective of israel's government, this was an unprecedented attack. they said it was the worst attack on their civilians since october 7th, far worse than anything we've seen in the nine and a half months. they've been skirmishing over the border and the israel government is making clear its response will be more severe than anything we have seen so

far. the israeli security cabinet met last night, authorized prime minister netanyahu, defense minister gallant to respond at a time, at a place and in a manner of their choosing. really, the whole world is waiting at this point to see what that response looks like. one of the big questions here, will netanyahu give the order to strike bay root, the lebanese capital. that's something he has refrained from doing over the course of this war, but this is a major attack, and netanyahu is also under major political pressure from the far right of his own government to respond in a serious way. the u.s. for its part is saying it supports israel's right to defend itself, but it is also counseling restraint. it doesn't want to see an all-out conflict on israel's northern border, especially at a time when the biden administration is feeling hopeful about the possibility of finalizing a cease-fire in gaza. chris, i'll just close by saying

when prime minister netanyahu showed up in the mountain village of majdal shams where the rocket came down, we were there at the time and a crowd of very angry villagers gathered to demonstrate against the prime minister because they feel he and his government did not do enough to keep their children safe. chris. >> matt, israel has lunched a number of attacks in recent days including one this morning. what do we know ability the impact of those strikes and the talks that are under way right now to try to keep this in boiling over? >> reporter: i can tell you, chris, just like my colleague raf was saying, all the talk of retaliation is something causing a lot of fear here but hasn't happened yet. we did see attacks by the israelis into lebanon. at least two hezbollah fighters have been killed overnight. we saw more attacks recently. we didn't have necessarily full casualty reports from those attacks. these are retaliatory strikes by the israelis, but they

definitely do not rise to the level of what raf was describing, what the stril prime minister benjamin netanyahu was describing, the kind of reprisal that would really put hezbollah on notice. as far as the israelis were concerned, hopefully push hezbollah back from the border. that's what the israelis want. that's what a lot of the families, thousands of them displaced from their homes in northern israel since october 8th, that's what they're putting pressure on the israeli government to do. again, so far, we haven't heard that -- haven't seen that. what we have seen is consistent with that low-level skirmishing we've been seeing ever since october 8th, the day after hamas' october 7th attacks. there has been nothing that has really risen above that level. everyone here is waiting to see the other shoe drop. that is a big issue. one of the other things, as raf mentioned, these efforts to try to create some sort of negotiated deal to release those remaining hostages in the gaza strip and provide some measure of peace for the gaza strip by

the israeli military, that would actually shoot down two birdz with one stone. if there were to be some sort of deal coming out of rome in the next couple days, and that is looking increasely unlikely, just like in the past nearly ten months, that would also stop the fighting over the northern border with israel and lebanon where i am now. hezbollah has made it clear if israel is to stop its incursion into the gaza strip, that it will stop firing into northern israel. now it looks as those the two conflicts have become decoupled and it looks as if israel is contemplating hezbollah as its own proxy of iran. iranians have said they're waiting for a massive retaliation from the israelis, but they don't want it to break out into a region-wide war. >> matt bradley and raf sanchez, thank you both so much. the fda approved a test that could make it easier to detect the second highest cause of

cancer deaths in the country, colon cancer. the american cancer society says more than 53,000 people are likely to die of the disease this year alone. "the new york times" describing the screening rate as abysmal. less than 60% of people eligible have gotten checked. here to talk about it, msnbc medical contributor dr. vin gupta. always good to see you. what does this authorization mean? >> chris, thanks for platforming this. this is a big deal. this is a blood test that we hope more people will utilize. to your point, utilization of colonoscopies is low relative to the burden of colon cancer. people don't like the experience, once every ten years. that's why we're seeing 40% of eligible adults not utilizing it even as screening age is lower and lower. that's why this is so important. hopefully we'll be able to catch more early stage colon cancers across america. >> we know colon cancer has a disproportion impact on people

of color. you and i have talked about the disparity in the health care system generally. black americans are 20% more likely to get colon cancer, 40% more likely to die from it than other racial groups. talk about that gap. could this increased testing help improve that disparity at all? >> absolutely, chris. this is the idea here. once this is covered, the price point on this -- the list price is almost $900. we want to make sure medicare, private insurance actually have access to this test. this is hopefully something all forms of insurance will cover. then from the equity lens, absolutely to your point, disproportionate burden among communities of color with those that might have a family history. really important to recognize this is one tool. if you test positive on this tool, you still have to actually get a colonoscopy that confirmed the diagnosis. critical, those 45 years and above are eligible in the next week. also have a discussion with your

provider for those 40% of individuals not getting this test, any form of colorectal cancer screening tests, have a discussion with your provider, you might not qualify and may still have to go for the colonoscopy based on your risk factors. >> dr. vin gupta, thank you. up next, how the harris surge has democrats eyeing new targets in the fight to control congress. the chair of the democratic congressional campaign committee joins us after this. ommittee joins us after this. duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine like google, but it's pi and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browse like chrome, but it blocks cookies and creey that follow you around from gog and other companies, and theres it's free. we make money from ads, but they don't follow you aroud join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today.

today there are signs that the democratic enthusiasm for kamala harris is helping down-ball lot races, some candidates report they see it on the ground. politico reports that an outside super pac supporting house democrats has added $24 million to what was an already massive ad campaign ahead of the fall tv season. the person in charge of the senate side, gary peters, cautions that voter enthusiasm alone isn't enough. quote, it is one thing to have good numbers in a poll. it's another thing to actually have good numbers of people who are going to go to the polls and vote. let's bring in his counterpart on the house side, congresswoman suzan delbene, chair of the congressional campaign committee. so good to have you on the program. i don't need to tell you, you need to flip four seats to take back the house which could be seen as only four seats or you've got to flip four seats. has your assessment of whether that happens for democrats

changed in the past week? if so, why? >> well, first of all, we've been in a strong position since the beginning of the cycle. house republicans have only been chaos, dysfunction and extremism, and people want folks who are going to be in washington, d.c. to govern. we have great candidates on the democratic side -- >> suzan, i have to stop you here. you know one of the reasons joe biden was given to step down was because there was so much concern on the ground among people running for house seats in contested districts, in purple districts, who said it was hurting them. you don't see a change? >> well, i think it's definitely palpable enthusiasm and energy out there. our folks have always been running strong, though. house democrats have been running strong and have had strong numbers throughout the cycle. so this is about taking back the majority, keeping the seats we have and picking up seats across the country in these purple

districts. so we've been running strong, but definitely every vote matters, making sure people not only are excited but also going to fill out their ballot and turn it in is critically important. all of the excitement and enthusiasm and engagement is critical because, as you know, when people know where we stand which is supporting families, making sure that we protect reproductive freedom, standing up for social security and medicare, fighting to lower costs for families, all these things are top priorities, and we know when people hear our message, we win. >> so to senator peter's point and to yours, turning voter enthusiasm into voter turnout, what are you looking at? what's the state of gotv? where are you focusing your money and efforts? >> we've got races all across the country. remember on the house side there's 435 races every two years, so our focus has been on

our battleground districts which are everywhere across the country. we have a lot of new york and california and iowa and nebraska, even alabama, incredible opportunities to pick up seats, and we have great candidates. i mean fundamentally it's about having people who can authentically represent their districts, talk about the issues that are important in their communities. so we are making sure that our candidates are in strong position, they have been outraising republicans and we had a strong q2, not only for the dccc where we outraised our republican counterparts, but all of our incumbents and candidates have outraised their republican opponents. so we're in a strong position as we head towards november. >> i know your committee reported in the first nine hours after kamala harris -- after president biden's announcement and it was clear that kamala harris was getting in, the dccc was raising $1,300 per minute.

what's it look like now, and do you feel like you'll be able to -- let me ask you a very specific question. how many races will you be putting money into? >> you know, we're supporting a bunch of races across the country. we have 31 front liners. those are incumbents who are in these targeted districts running for re-election. we have 27 red-to-blue candidates. these are the folks running to flip seats across the country. they are all running strong. we're supporting those efforts. there are more districts to come as we see how things play out across the country. there's still some more primaries that are going to happen here soon. so we're in a very strong position. you said it before, we need four more to take back the majority, make sure we have speaker hakeem jeffries and we have the 2k3w568s and we can have governance that works. we're speefd to be in session this week and we're not because republicans don't know how to govern, can't agree with each

president biden is proposing new rules to limit the power of supreme court justices. he wrielts, quote, on top of dangerous and extreme decisions that overturn settled legal precedents including roe v. wade, the court is mired in a crisis of ethics. what is happening now is not normal. biden says that's why he's pushing two major rule changes for the court itself, an amendment on immunity, contradicting the recent ruling granting former president trump just that as one of them. nbc's aaron gilchrist is in austin, texas, where joe biden will be speaking in a few hours. back with me, sarah feinberg. aaron, break down the reforms biden is pitching specific to the court. how realistic might those be? >> reporter: chris, the president is in the air right now coming now to the united states of texas and the lyndon johnson presidential library, specifically to celebrate the

60th anniversary of the civil rights act that banned discrimination in employment practices and also banned segregation in public places. the president chose this venue specific lip to talk about the changes he wants to see at the supreme court. he's going to propose term limits on supreme court justices. he favors an 18-year term for justices, he says, so presidents wouldn't have the ability to radically impact the court for generations, he's going to say when he speaks this afternoon. he also wants to see congress enact legislation that would make supreme court justices subject to a code of ethics that is similar to what other federal judges currently have to deal with, one that would be binding and enforceable say this afternoon, as it relates to gifts and political activity that justices may engage in, and as you noted, the president says these are all things that, as of late, as we watched supreme court decisions come from the conservative majority court, as well as the presidential immunity decision

that came down last month, all things that the president says have limited the personal freedoms of people in this country and have created a lot of questions about the ethical fortitude of the supreme court, and so he's going to call for changes this afternoon. as far as what's practical in terms of seeing these things actually happen, in theory, the congress could come up with legislation that could impact the code of ethics, although, without the democrats having control of the house right now, this is something that would be more of a campaign issue, potentially pushing people to support a democratic house, a democratic senate and a democrat in the white house. the other issue, as it relates to term limits is something that would likely require a constitutional amendment as well, and i won't take you through the 8th grade civics lesson, but that is something that would require a good bit more work happen. we haven't had a constitutional amendment in more than 30 years, and it would of course require ratification from the states, and so it would be a more complex issue to try to get it

to come to fruition. >> thank you for that. even if the supreme court changes might not be realistic, not this minute, does it help. the frustration level with many democrats on the supreme court is like a 12 to 15, and could it bleed over and help kamala harris? >> absolutely. look, i think this is a great example of how powerful it is for joe biden to have said, you know what, i'm not going to run, to pass the torch to kamala harris. he now gets to talk about these critical issues that are important to the country and that light a fire under democrats and he doesn't have to worry about campaigning. and he gets to do her job. here's the reality, the more people learn about the supreme court, the angrier they get, the more frustrated they get, the more alarmed they get. i think people generally a couple of years ago would think about supreme court justices as relatively fair. they're supposed to be nonpolitical. they're supposed to be nonpartisan. they're using their best judgment.

it doesn't matter how you feel about dobbs and some of these others, most people would refer to as alarming decisions. when you find out that supreme court justices take trips on yachts and private planes and don't have to tell anybody about it, and say, oops, i forgot to put it on my legal financial form, the kind of behavior that no one else gets away with, and by the way, you know, my husband or wife is involved in like this political issue and maybe making money off of it, but don't worry, i don't need to talk about that either. more people know the more appalled they are. i think it's great that the president is able to talk about this, and kamala harris can talk about it too and the things she needs to talk about. >> sarah feinberg r great to have you on the show. we have breaking news on capitol hill where house leaders have announced a task force to look into the attempted assassination of donald trump. nbc's julie tsirkin joins me from capitol hill. what more can you tell us? who are the members involved? >> reporter: remember the house

voted to establish this task force last week. it was one of the final votes that this chamber took until they left on their extended recess until september. a list of members we got in a couple of minutes ago. it's evenly split, republicans have one more member on the committee, 7-6. this is an appointment made by the speaker of the house, mike johnson, and hakeem jeffries. the republican members include mike kelly of pennsylvania. he was at the rally. his district represents butler, pa, where that assassination attempt took place, so he definitely has firsthand knowledge that he can bring to this panel. he's the chair of this panel. the democratic top member on this committee is jason crow, somebody who has military experience. he's a congressman from colorado, and the bottom line here is and the goal of this panel, according to the two leaders is to really investigate and get to the bottom of what happened on that day, how the lapses in security both from the secret service perspective and

the fbi as well, that the house and the senate have both held hearings into and will continue to hold hearings into, how they allowed that shooter to get so close to the former president, how they allowed him to still take the stage as well. these members expressed their concerns on a bipartisan basis, and of course we haven't seen a committee like this since the creation of the january 6th select committee that of course was not as bipartisan as this one. the next step in this panel is they do demand answers from federal officials by december 13th. they hope to -- excuse me, they will present a report after they hear from officials, after they hold and conduct interviews, they have subpoena power on this panel as well, and they will present a final report to congress by december 13th. so by the end of this coming congress. certainly a big development from both sides of the house. everyone who wants answers as to what happened here, and how it went so wrong, chris. >> julie tsirkin, thank you. coming up, a major race against the clock in california,
