7:03 am
>> reporter: talking about what's next in line for him. >> i'm going to get in trouble. i think you should run for president again. i'll be your vice president. >> reporter: during the emotional conversation biden suggested he may not have the heart for another presidential run. >> i don't think any man or woman should run for president unless they can look at folks and say, i promise you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy. i would be lying if i said that i knew i was there. >> reporter: biden spoke about suffering and service and the struggle this summer after losing his son beau. >> he said, dad, i know how much you love me. so you have to promise me you're going to be all right. i don't know what it was about him. he had this enormous sense of empathy. >> sounds like you loved him. >> oh, geez. >> at times the host seemed
7:04 am
ready to give biden the colbert bump. >> i think your experience, your example of suffering and service is something that would be sorely missed in the race. i think we would be happy if you did run. >> reporter: but the democratic race hasn't slowed down without biden. bernie sanders surging past hillary clinton in iowa and new hampshire surprising even the senator himself. >> could you see yourself being president of the united states? >> increasingly, yes. >> reporter: still, clinton remains focused on the republican front-runner, donald trump. >> if it's all the same to you sh mr. trump, i would rather you stopped cherishing women and started respecting women. >> reporter: in ohio, a less than capacity crowd. one reporter tweeting, not exactly a packed house. but what keeps showing up is the e-mail controversy. a former staffer clinton paid to maintain her private server declined to answer questions
7:05 am
from the house benghazi committee. a new national poll overnight shows clinton's support among democrats has dropped to 37%. more worrisome is she lost her advantage in potential head to head match-ups against republicans like ben carson and jeb bush. as for the biden interview perhaps no one was better suited to do it with the compassion we saw than stephen colbert. he lost his father and two brothers in a plane crash 24 years ago today. >> let's bring in mark halpern. good morning. >> good morning. >> the tea leaf readers are dissecting every word joe biden said. he said he's not sure he's there yet, that he can make the full commitment to running. do you think he's bluffing? >> he's more inclined than before. that's the sense i get. >> to what? >> to run. three things were on display. first of all, the incredible
7:06 am
life of joe biden. second, this is the most wide open presidential race. joe biden can see the possibility of being president. and the personal moment for him now. does his son's death make him more want to run to fulfill the legacy, the dream both bidens had of one of them being president or is it too much? >> he saw this differently than we did. >> you could read it any way you wanted to. you said this is a wide open race, including on the democratic side, something no one would have said six months ago. this speaks to hillary clinton's sagging poll numbers. not just joe biden but others thinking i could get into the race. >> look what he did in new york. major league performance. not just on colbert and that incredible, touching thing, but talking about violence against women, minimum wage. he's ready to be president. >> can he get the organization
7:07 am
together, raise the money it will take to win the nomination and an election. >> for him, it's all about the personal. can he devote the attention? he can win it on the debate stage, i believe. he's great debater. he doesn't need her fund raising. he'll never get it. if she's threatened by bernie sanders, if she's threatened by democrating worried she's not the right person he can win. >> there is a lot to talk about with the republicans, too. we know who will take part in the next gop debate. things could be interesting. hallie jackson has the story. good morning to you. >> good morning. it's confirmed now that carly fiorina will be on the main stage at the next gop debate sharing it with donald trump. this is expected to be the fist time the two come face to face since he insulted her appearance though trump claims he wasn't talking about her looks at all. under attack from donald trump, carly fiorina is barely
7:08 am
blinking. >> i really don't spend a lot of time worrying about what donald trump thinks about my looks. >> reporter: trump was quoted saying while watching fiorina on tv, look at that face. would anyone vote for that? >> there is so much about him and very little about me. this is part of a pattern. where he says things and tries to explain why he said them. >> reporter: trump insists he wasn't talking about her face. >> i'm talking about her persona. >> some skeptical. >> the remark was about her face and not her persona. >> it goes hand in hand. >> reporter: trump said he's giving supporters what they want. >> many comments are made as an entertainer. >> reporter: trump is up 13% over ben carson who is trying to tamp down a tiff with the rival telling the washington post he apologizes if trump took offense to his remarks on religion adding he doesn't want to get
7:09 am
into gladiator wars. perhaps a truce but not for a frequent target. >> stephen colbert said, let's talk about the big orange elephant in the room. >> reporter: overnight, jeb bush taking a shot and ducking. >> that's a joke, donald. don't tweet. please. please. go to sleep. >> reporter: bush criticized trump's comments about fiorina tweeting the country deserves better. he said this isn't the first time trump said something controversial about a woman but it doesn't seem to hurt him with primary voters. >> let's go to mark on that point. it's interesting about trump. he says this about carly fiorina's face. it seems capable of one interpretation. now he says, i was talking about her persona. either you are a straight talker or you can't. >> you can be offended by what he said. you can point to the notion that
7:10 am
the explanation isn't credible. but he's got one-third of the vote now nationally in many key states in a 17-person field. he's said these things before. it hasn't hurt him. that's the trump brand. it's not a mistake that takes him off the message. that's what his supporters like. >> when you look at yesterday and you have jeb bush, scott walker, bobby jindal, carly fiorina firing at trump they are putting him where he want tots be. >> center of attention and he's a brawler. i asked his top aides are you worried about this fiorina thing? they laughed at me. this is what he wants. as long as he's the center of attention, fighting people say, yeah, i wish he didn't say that stuff, but i'm for him. one-third of the vote for a guy who's never run for office in a 17-person field. that's the reality the republicans face. >> how many have said he has a ceiling, 20, 25%. now it's 32. we'll see how high it goes.
