the fastest connection to paris with xfinity. it's friday, good to be with you. i'm ana cabrera. a big moment for kamala harris. the democratic national committee saying she has received the votes of a majority

of delegates needed for the presidential nomination with a virtual roll call underway. the voting doesn't close until monday so that's when it would become official, and this, harris's campaign says it raked in a record breaking $310 million just last month after she entered the race. with 2/3 of that haul being made up of first time donors. it's more than double the money the trump campaign brought in last month. harris also has more catch on hand, $377 million to be exact. a $50 million edge over the former president. the money search comes amid a tuesday countdown when harris is set to appear with her yet to be named running mate as they kick off a battleground state tour starting in philly. who will it be. a source familiar with the process tells nbc news, harris is nearing a final decision, and will meet in person with some of her top choices over the next few days. this morning, president biden told reporters that he has spoken with harris about her possible selection.

we'll get into the six contenders, the campaign is telling us harris's team is vetting. and what strength and weakness could bring to the ticket. joining us now, nbc news senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez, and "politico" white house correspondent and coauthor of the west wing play book, eli stokols. let's start with the vp stakes, what are sources telling you about how soon she will announce and do we know if she has made her decision? >> reporter: we don't believe she has made her decision yet. the best indication is she plans to meet with top contenders over the next 72 hours or so. two sources familiar with the matter are saying that the formal vetting process by the law firm is done. that portion is finished but the in-person meetings are among the last steps before vice president harris makes her pick. you see the list of top contenders there. she's expected to be in

washington, d.c. throughout the weekend, and several candidates on the short list have reshuffled or canceled plans over the next few days, suggest ing they need to clear time for face-to-face interview. at this point we don't have any indication she has made a final decision just yet. as you mentioned, they are already planning for that event on tuesday in philadelphia, where presumably her vice presidential pick will join her, and they're going to embark on the tour of battleground states next week. we expect her to make the decision and announce it by news. >> eli, you have reporting on this, too, what are you learning about harris's primary considerations or priorities as she's making a decision? >> harris's top aides have kept this close to the vest, saying things like she wants someone who's going to be a good governing partner, communicators, getting to the votes in november is priority number one, and making that calculation in just a matter of weeks is really complicated.

most campaigns take months to vet the possible contenders for the vice president and to really spend time getting to know them. the vice president is someone who has not been in washington her entire career, like president biden has been. does not have a senior group of aides that she's been with for decades and does not have a real long deep relationships with any of these folks. obviously she knows pete buttigieg from 2020, from running against him, from being in the administration together. she knows mark kelly from having been in the senate, and there's some relationship with some of the governors on the list. but it seems that @final process, the final step, the interviews may be pivotal. i have been told she has not made a decision. there's not really an indication yet which way she may be leaning. aids may have preferences, may be getting advice from people, including president biden as he indicated earlier. as far as where this lands, i

think a lot of people close to the process are saying these interviews at the end of it are going to matter, and they're going to all take place back-to-back, she's not going to have days after speaking with these folks to make a decision. the expectation is this will be announced as early as sunday or monday before the first event on tuesday. >> you're reporting the trump campaign is preparing to respond. what do you know? >> well, they're going to respond one way or another. they are going to come after whoever is the nominee. i think what's interesting, what i have heard a lot from the harris folks is that the trump pick of j.d. vance has really illuminated for them the importance of that maxim of do no harm. you know, when you pick a running mate, the most important thing is to not harm the ticket, to not lead to days or weeks of negative news cycles pertain to go things that are coming out about the person you've chosen to run with. i think that is something that is on the mind of harris, folks,

you know, the biden or the trump team, they are looking at these folks, looking into the files, trying to game out who she might pick. they are ready with hits on whoever it is. but i think, you know, the former president, donald trump, the other day just said himself, you know, in sort of defense or lack of defense of his own choice, the vice presidential pick doesn't really matter. it's the top of the ticket, and so, in a way, former president trump has already undercut his own campaign's efforts to go after whoever harris picks because he's already gone out and said that part of the campaign doesn't matter. >> gabe, we mentioned the harris campaign had shattered fundraising records announcing it brought in $310 million in july. what stands out to you as we look more closely at those numbers? >> what a difference a few weeks makes. just remember, a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about how the biden campaign was having such a difficult time keeping,

hanging on to these big money donors. here we are a few weeks later, and there seems to be an incredible amount of energy, among donors, and these small grass roots donors. you see 60% of all the donors in this july fundraising were women. ten times the number of gen z donors, eight times millennial donors compared to june, and this is important too. coalition groups that organize calls, for certainly minority groups, black women for harris, white dudes for harris as we have been talking about. they raised more than $20 million. and parts of the group were part of the coalition president biden was having a difficult time hanging on to. the amount raised by harris last month, more than double what the trump campaign has raised. it's incredible when you consider just last month, there was a republican national convention.

donald trump survived an assassination attempt, and when you look at all of that, the amount, that stunning number that the harris campaign reported really speaks to the energy within the democratic coalition, and voters and grass roots voters at this time. >> gabe gutierrez and eli stokols, thank you, guys, happy friday. joining us now, msnbc political analyst, democratic strategist, basil smikle, and susan del percio, great to see both of you. let's talk about the vp stakes, all eyes on this decision. susan, we know, kamala harris is expected to be with her running mate as soon as tuesday in pennsylvania. josh shapiro's home state, though she's meeting with a number of contenders this weekend, we're told. who do you have your eye on? >> two, josh shapiro, governor of pennsylvania, and senator mark kelly out of arizona. >> why do they stand out to you? >> i think they both bring the most to the table. they're both respected

moderates, first of all, which will be appeal to go another group harris will have to appeal to, the anti-trump voters who will have to get off the couch and vote. shapiro, 68% approval rating. that's off the charts. i don't see what other states he could play well in. whereas arizona, half the electoral delegates but it's a border state, and mark kelly has such a great story to tell. he's a combat fighter. he's a former astronaut. his wife gabby giffords survived a shooting and she and her have been out there on gun safety. i think he plays in more time zones, maybe, is what i'm trying to say than josh shapiro, and not because of the personalities, but the resume. >> and of course there's the issue of control of power in the senate, and he's the senator so that could be a challenge, right? >> yes and no.

because a lot of people, because the senate is so closes and joe manchin's not running in west virginia, it's kind of seen that the senate probably will flip. there's just too good of a chance of it happening. one other thing i should have mentioned about kelly is immigration reform. it's a border state. and he's really good on the issue. >> and he voted as a senator for that bipartisan deal that was rejected by a lot of republicans in the senate. donald trump has down played the vp, the running mate position. and of course that cops as j.d. vance has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons lately for controversial comments he has made in the past. what do you think? how crucial is this pick for kamala harris? >> i agree with everything that susan said in terms of the geographic benefits to different -- to different picks. i focus more on or not more but on the synergy and energy. there's a tremendous amount of

momentum behind kamala harris, and one thing i don't want to have happen is somebody that sort of deflates that a little bit because their style is a little different. their energy is a little different. so i'm looking for someone who's going to complement her in the sense that she has a lot of energy on the trail, people are really getting behind her. is this a person that is also going to generate some of that energy. is this a person that she does see as a good governing partner, and someone who's actually good at defending her. because she's going take a lot of the shots. she's already taking a lot of the shots. is this a person that's going to be able to go into crowds, go on tv, and really articulate a strong defense of her or strong affirmation of her candidacy. the one person that can do that, is pete buttigieg. if you listen him on the tv, talking about the ticket when it was biden harris and i would love to see him talk about harris at the top of the ticket,

whether he's the vice presidential candidate or not, he is an extraordinarily good sort of person on camera, and in communities and excites a lot of young people, and i think that's a constituency that really needs a little boost right now. >> you mentioned the attack that harris is taking so much of the conversation on the attacks this week from donald trump's comments and his ongoing doubling down, leaning in to these attacks on her, race, racial identity as a black woman, and even reposting birther conspiracy theories about her. what do you make of the turn this race has taken. >> people have said, well, this has always been who he is, who he was. the birther comments, and conspiracy started with barack obama. 2007 and 2008, this is not new. what is interesting is to watch him flail in his inability to

find something that sticks against her because everything that he's tried has become a tent pole moment for the harris campaign, and her supporters as a moment to sort of rally around her. you think about the black jobs comment, that became a thing. this notion that she just became black, now everybody is like, hey, when did you become black, when did i become black, right, now we're talking about it in a way he didn't want us to. he wanted african americans to talk about what it means to be black, thinking he's the arbiter of what that means. so that we could lessen and tamp down the enthusiasm. instead, it's like how dare you try to tell us or walk into this space thinking you know more about us than we know about ourselves. that's how it's taken. it's now turned against him, and you could see that he does not know how to go after her. and it's amazing to watch. this man who thrives on being

the most powerful in the room, the ability to whip his supporters into a frenzy, and does not know what to do next. >> i do want to get you on this sort of line of attack or criticism we're seeing coming from the harris campaign labeling trump and his allies as quote unquote, period. it seems to be getting to him. he responded this way, in an interview just this morning. >> they're the weird ones and if you have ever seen her with the laugh and everything else. that's a weird deal going on there. they're the weird ones. nobody's ever called me weird. i'm a lot of things, but weird is not. >> what does that reaction tell you? >> he's just bonkers, if you ask me, maybe not weird, but definitely bonkers. to basil's point, he does not know what to do with it. and the fact that it flipped so much against them has to be really troubling to the campaign

as well, because bringing out moves the trump team is not ready to do. it was brilliant to double down on weird. the stuff they talk about is weird, and it resonates. fighting for democracy is very important. i'm not suggesting it is not a good thing. you say, look at them, they're weird, all of a sudden you go, i got it. >> on that happy note, thank you guys for joining us, basil smikle, susan del percio, good to see you. and right now, the markets are reacting to a new jobs report today. the dow way down. down more than 700 points right now, just about an hour before the close of markets today. this after we learned the u.s. economy added 114,000 jobs atlanta month. and the unemployment rate jumped from 4.1% to 4.3%, that's the highest level since october of 2021, all adding to concerns

co-locating, leveraging that counter part system, and this is going to drive our operations going forward. >> rowe saying they will continue to, quote, earn back the trust of the public. right now, three freed americans are back in the united states. evan gershkovich, paul whelan, and alsu kurmasheva are now in san antonio, texas, receiving post isolation treatment at the brook army medical center. while u.s. green card holder, russian dissident, and "washington post" columnist, vladimir kara-murza. this was made in an extraordinary year's long process that started in 2022 when wnba start brittney griner was released. courtney kube joins us on what happens now and what's next. courtney, what do we know about the reentry process?

>> reporter: because there have been so many hostages and americans coming back from difficulties overseas, over the past several years, the u.s. military has actually perfected this process down at the army medical center. we saw overnight last night, the three people came back, evan gershkovich, alsu kurmasheva, and then of course paul whelan. they are down at brooke army medical center where they have the opportunity to go through something the military called pisa, a post isolation period you and i and civilians might think of a reintroduction into society. it can teach someone who's been held in isolation, simply to be around other people. if someone has been held in a position where they don't have a bed to sleep on, they're sitting on a dirt floor, for weeks or months talt, it can do something so simple as helping them reacclimate to sleeping in a bed again. it will start with a medical

evaluation, look at how they are physically, and then it can move into psychological and emotional well being checks and the treatment they may need. in addition to looking at the prisoners who were released, the americans, it can also work with their families and loved ones to help them with the reacclimation process as well. >> thank you for that reporting. joining us now, democratic senator from maryland and chair of the senate foreign relations committee, senator ben cardin. senator, thank you for taking the time. i know you were personally involved in trying to secure the release of russian opposition leader and journalist and green card holder, vladimir kara, you met his family, and while you haven't had a chance to speak with him yet, i understand, what do you think our viewers need to know about this man, and why it is so significant that he was among those freed? >> first of all, it's good to be with you. it speaks to american's foreign policy, wrapped in our values. we bring americans home. we do everything we possibly

can. that's the principle purpose of our foreign policy. we deal authoritarian countries that have no concern about the individual. i want to applaud the biden administration for putting this together. it involved several countries. navalny was originally part of it. of course as you know, he passed away. it's a complicated situation. kara-murza is a hero. putin has tried to kill him twice. i had a chance to meet with him. he testified before our committees. i know his family is so relieved he's safe now, and i can't wait to give him a hug. >> given your experience on the foreign relations committee, i wonder, how do you respond to those criticizing the deal, noting that the u.s. and allies had to give up two convicted international hackers, an alleged spy, convict killer.

former president trump saying this is a win for putin. could putin be further emboldened or other countries to take more american prisoners? >> make no mistake about it, this is a victory for america. it's a victory for our values. we brought americans home. we got them out of harm's way. we got them out of being held. this is a victory of our policy, wrapped in our values. we are dealing with authoritarian regimes, we recognize that they're going to be transactional. they don't care about values. we have to step to our values. a warning to americans, don't travel to russia. we know russia wouldn't hesitate to take more americans as hostages in an effort to make additional trades. this was absolutely the right thing to do, and quite frankly, when i look at the tradeoffs here, i think president biden did an outstanding job in leading negotiations. >> american schoolteacher, marc fogel is behind bars in russia, his family is calling it a

glaring injustice. take a listen to what his sister, anne fogel said just a couple of hours ago. >> asking russia for humanitarian relief, that's never happened in history that they have done that. there's no reason for it to happen now. it's almost laughable and insulting. marc needs to be designated as wrongfully detained today. >> senator, what's your reaction? could more have been done for him, and do you know anything about the ongoing efforts related to his detainment? >> we know that it is a priority for us to get all americans home. it's absolutely a priority. every day we have specialist in the state department. that's all they do is to work on every unlawfully detained and american that's being mistreat bid another country. keeping in touch with the

families, and looking for opportunities, so absolutely we want to get him home. and i agree, we should do everything in our power to bring him back to the united states. >> you said in a press release, we need to collectively work to deter rogue regimes from detaining americans. how do you do that? >> i think the individual sanctions do work. that means the people responsible for these unlawful detentions were restricted. they can't come to the unite, and it's not just the united states, we work with our european allies and with the uk. and canada. we freeze them from using international banking system. that has real consequences. so that we deter others from participating in these types of illegal activities. >> senator ben cardin, thank you very much for joining us. up next, republicans attacking harris on immigration. we've got a fact check on her role as vp.

. it's a line of attack we continue to hear from donald trump and his allies against vice president kamala harris. going after her record on immigration. while touring the southern

border yesterday, vice presidential nominee j.d. vance falsely claimed that she was the biden administration's border czar. claiming she had failed to prevent mass migration at the u.s. border. >> one of the reasons why borders czar kamala harris has been such a failure here is because she was in charge of coordinating the federal government response. the courts have said the federal government has a lot of power here. you just have to use it, and kamala harris has refused to use her authority to make our country safe. >> let's get the facts from nbc's homeland security correspondent, julia ainsley. julia, the white house didn't make her the border czar. they tasked her with addressing the root causes of migration at the southern border, which is a very different task. what can you tell us about what she did or didn't accomplish? >> that's right. we wanted to look at exactly what her task was, to address those root causes, specifically in central america, not globally, which is one of the issues driving migration at the southern border. there are migrants coming from all over the world.

we look at her travel schedule to central america, and how she has interacted with the leaders of the country since. we look at how she lived up to the assignment. since rising to the top of the ticket, kamala harris's handling of the border under renewed scrutiny and attack. >> she's done a horrible job. >> reporter: but the white house and harris campaign say border czar is an unfair label. the job biden assigned her in march 2021 was to address the root causes of immigration in central america. >> we can chew gum and walk at the same time, let's address the root causes that cause people to make the trek. >> after that announcement, harris visited mexico and guatemala. while in mexico, harris forged an agreement that has led the u.s. to commit $4 billion in direct assistance to central america, and over $5.2 billion in private investment in the region in u.s. companies. the white house says those investments are creating jobs and have connected more than

4.5 million people to the internet and brought 2.5 million people into the formal financial system. in guatemala, she garnered pushback from immigration advocates for telling migrants don't come to the u.s. >> do not come. >> you had a message for would be migrants, don't come. why should they believe you when they know people are getting in? >> the people who are here for generations, the history of guatemala for centuries, they want to stay. they don't want to leave. but they need opportunity. they need assistance. >> also pressed by nbc's lester holt about why she hadn't visited the border, a criticism from republicans? >> this whole thing about the border. we've been to the border. >> you haven't been to the border. >> and i haven't been to europe. >> two weeks later, harris made a trip to el paso, where she toured border facilities. after that trip, harris's public facing large was fell off. she made one more trip for the

inauguration of the honduran president, and held meetings with the presidents of mexico and guatemala in d.c. immigration has fallen dramatically, from 86,000 in march of 2021 to just over 25,000 in june 2024. but some experts say harris shouldn't get much resident for that. >> how much credit can harris take for that decline from central america? >> i don't think immigration has been one of her top priorities. >> the president of the nonpartisan think tank, migration policy institute. >> i'm not sure how much vice president harris has been engaged in those discussions outside of the private sector, some of the diplomatic work? >> in the meantime, migration from other parts of the world, including venezuela, chinese, sub saharan africa are all on

the rise. as california attorney general she regularly met with latin american officials to fight organized crime. and as a senator in 2017, she led a group of democratic lawmakers who threatened to withhold votes on a federal spending bill that did not include protections for daca recipients. >> what reaction does the name kamala harris evoke among border patrol agents? >> not a good one. a lot of people roll their eyes. nobody has seen any results from her or her efforts. >> meanwhile on the campaign trail, harris is defending her immigration record, pointing to her combatting transnational crime as california ag, and the biden administration's border security bill. >> i will bring back the border security bill that donald trump killed and i will sign it into law. >> and of course as we pointed out the border czar was not the title she was given. it's still one that i hear when i go to the border from border patrol agents.

it's one we're going to continue to hear from the trump campaign as you heard from j.d. vance yesterday. it's important to realize what her assignment was and also to remember if she is elected president, these are the people she's going to lead. we should also point out that the numbers at the border have fallen dramatically, though as those in our story said, perhaps the work with the central american countries isn't the thing we should credit the most for the fall. >> thank you for doing the digging on that and bring the facts. up next, the head of hezbollah vows vengeance against israel, what that could look like for a region already on the brink. plus, unrest in venezuela, the u.s. recognizing the opposition candidate as the winner. what will president maduro do now? ent maduro do now? facts. that's why i use secret whole body deodorant for clinically proven odor protection everywhere. so i smell great all day, all hike, and all night. secret whole body deodorant.

welcome back. today hezbollah is vowing vengeance on israel for the apparent assassination of hamas political leader, ismail haniyeh who was killed in a bomb explosion in iran. both hamas and hezbollah blame israel, though israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack even though officials have publicly praised it. the idf is confirming the death of a third hamas leader killed last month during an air strike in gaza. joining us from tel aviv, nbc news correspondent ellison barber, what kind of retaliation is israel preparing for from

iran and its proxies? >> reporter: look, when you talk to israeli civilians, when you listen to comments from israeli leaders publicly as well as what's being said behind the scenes, there seems to be little doubt or question as to will iran or hezbollah or iranian proxies retaliate. everyone across the board seems to be confident that yes, they will. the question is what will it look like, and how soon could it happen. a good indicator of what it could possibly look like is what happened in april, after an alleged air strike killed to iranian generals. iran fired 300 missiles and drones at israel. the majority of those were intercepted in part because arab nations nearby like jordan and saudi arabia also intercepted some of them. that seems to be the benchmark of what could be. people we have spoken to, regular civilians in tel aviv, one woman told us told, we already saw that they will

retaliation when they say they will, speaking about iran, and she said this time, i think it will be bigger and scarier. it's simple language. that is the reality here is it's not a question as to if this will happen, but just when and how big will it happen. we have seen officials in municipalities in israel from jerusalem here in tel aviv re-upping and reminding civilians to make sure their shelters are clear, that they can access them, and that they have food and water and power sources in the event they have to shelter in place for days, hours, or even weeks. >> haniyeh's funeral was today in doha, qatar, what's your reporting on what happened there? >> reporter: this was the second large funeral we have seen for haniyeh, the first one taking place in iran, the second in doha, where he lives, where the political bureau operates out of. we saw the leaders of hamas's political wing welcoming dignitaries and civilians to grieve the loss of this individual here in israel.

there was a bit of controversy today because the turkish embassy here lowered their flag to half-mast in honor of haniyeh and his death. israel was not happy with that. they summoned the deputy ambassador to speak with their foreign officials here, and condemned them for that saying if you want to do that, if you want to praise the person that we consider to be a terrorist, do it in turkey, not here on our soil. hamas released in part their political movement did some clips of what they say were gathers, mourners inside of that funeral in do ha, and they said they were chanting at times, go go hamas, you are the cannon, and we are the bullets, in addition to haniyeh, relax, relax, and we will continue the struggle. we have heard for calls and marches of rage and anger for the death of haniyeh, and again, everybody here is still in this position of waiting to see what comes next from iran, from hezbollah, and other proxies.
