i was, of course, joined at that meeting by katherine clark and pete aguilar, nancy pelosi, some of thecommittees of jurisdiction. at that conversation, we talked about how we can fully implement the legislative product that was produced in connection with the national security package. and we also talked about the stakes being incredibly high. this is a moment in the world where we are locked in an existential struggle between democracy and autocracy. between freedom and tyranny. between truth and propaganda. the united states and ukraine stand on the side of democracy, freedom, and truth. vladimir putin stands on the side of autocracy, tyranny, and propaganda, and is engaging in brutal tactics such as bombing a children's hospital. russian aggression must be stopped at all cost for the good of the ukrainian people, for the good of america's national security interests and for the good of the free world. we made clear to president zelenskyy we will be with him every step of the way until russian aggression has been defeated. we discussed a wide variety of issues in terms of how to oper

in the past hour vice president harris secured the backing of house majority whip katherine clark and pete aguilar. lots of democrats supported harris last night. democrats believe harris gives them a major boost. >> this is going to completely change the nature of the race. republicans wanted to run against biden. they were very happy with where the race was. it was stable, the polling was completely trending their way day after day. this changes things. >> some top democratic leaders held off with their endorsements want to see where rank and file members land. there is also a question about seeing if harris maintains immediate staying power. that would stave off a messy convention. someone who is not running is joe manchin of west virginia. he does not want a coronation. >> i could not believe there was not going to be a primary process or mini process. other countries do it. why is everyone afraid to speak out and afraid to stay? the system is wrong. >> other people could run. the question is whether the harris juggernaut can quash other candidates. >> we have a process that anybo

supreme court new liberal majority reinstating drop-off ballot boxes and house minority whip katherine clarkl we're get a bill because it would intimidate election officials and over-burden the state's abilities to enroll new voters? americans don't want to see cheating. they hate cheating in elections, period, full stop. it's the american people who deserve fairness here and to be treated fair because they are the ones paying taxes. >> absolutely, liz. i mean, if you are going to cast your ballot you want full confidence it is being counted as it's intended to be cast and so it's very very simple whether you're republican, independent, democrat that all citizens are voting and that are eligible. not non-citizens and this bill is saying for federal elections only, because that is where we have constitutional authority. in order to ensure the integrity of the elections, so again, 81% of americans support this measure and if they say that they don't really need this because it's already illegal to be a non-citizen and voting, well then they should vote for it because guess what? they should ha

katherine clark says it would place an extreme burden on countless americans trying to vote. chip roy. mike johnson pushing for the bill to pass, writing this, the act will safeguard elections by assuring only american citizens vote in federal elections. seems like a no brainer. that's not the case. claudia tenney calling for the 51 intel officials who signed the letter claiming the hunter biden laptop was russian disinformation to be held responsible, the laptop was later proven to be real and was entered as evidence in hunter biden's federal gun trial. tenney posted this on x. the 51 should be prosecuted for knowingly pushing a false statement. it is a felony crime to make a false statement to an agent of the federal government related to a f federal matter. paramount and sky dance media are muggerring, sky dance will shell out $8 billion to take over of national amusement as paramount's controlling shareholder from the red stone family. sky dance will merge with paramount making ellison with a host of problems, boosting profitability and streaming. take a look at pair moun

with chuck schumer, but we have heard from number twos and senator dick durbin and councilwoman katherine clark both came out with statements of support today as well as campaign armchair susan dell benny and all of them throwing their support behind harris. while some are calling for an open process harris doesn't have any serious challengers yet. most names that have been potential contenders have thrown their support behind her this includes josh shapiro, ben cooper and gretchen whitmer and pete buttigieg. all of those names are being float as potential vice president picks who can help harris in the midwest and key swing states, but kelly, we still have a lot to go and a lot that is uncertain about what this process is going to look like now that biden has withdrawn from the race. >> one person we also haven't really seen is president biden himself. any scuttlebutt on that? >> biden is still in wilmington, still recovering from covid. he says that he is planning on getting out again later this week. he still has this meeting with netanyahu who is now in d.c. planned and so we are expecting

>> you know, i think it's win the leadership -- when the leadership, being hakeem jeffries or katherine clarklm of democrat leadership. when one of the members of the leadership turns, they're doing it out of self-preservation because they, as, you know, just on the republican side same thing, they are serving at the behest of their colleagues. if they're not listening to their colleagues, and that number's going to continue to grow and they're not pushing for what the will of their caucus is, they're going to find themselves in a tough place. and no one is willing to jump on the sword for joe biden at this point, no one. and i don't care what they're saying, their actions aren't matching up. the calls from the white house aren't coming through the way that they say that they are. so i think there's going to be a tipping point when hakeem jeffries or someone else in the senior leadership says it's time for him to step aside. rachel: but even if hakeem jeffries and all of those members of congress all a get together and go this is going to be fatal a, more of us need to weigh in, you've still

biden's lead in just recent hours we saw top house democratic leaders specifically, pete aguilar, katherine clark endorsing harris. we've seen governors also back here. a couple of missing names, though, so far are speaker emerita, nancy pelosi, current leader hakeem jeffrey, chuck schumer. help us understand the dynamics and what those leaders might be waiting on. >> those leaders are in the position of having to be represented in the case of jeffries and schumer of where the rest of their caucus is. this is a traveling day. democrats are back in town, the secret service you and i have been covering, and i'm standing outside. for jeffreys and for schumer, it's important for them to be reflective of where their entire caucuses are. that's at least my guess as to why we haven't seen them come out with more full throated endorsements of vice president kamala harris. to that end, both of those leaders did speak to her yesterday in her many, many phone calls that she was making around capitol hill and around the country in various parts of the democratic apparatus. that said, key caucuses on capitol

hilton, i met you before in katherine clark's office.i've had an epiphany about congregate care for people who are not poor. we're talking basically today about poor, poor children, and you were not poor. but, you know, when there's a fracture or a break in the family, predators are easily, easy to get in when there's breakdown because they have the authority. and i, i'm so sorry that this has happened to you. and i empathize with you, and, or you know, i'm just delighted that you're using your voice. ms. tori, you were in 12 foster homes. i mean, it's a miracle, a sociological miracle, you are. and i just don't think you should have depended on good luck. somebody just happened to to come by and help you, thank god that they were. but, mine, as part of the break -- i mean, as part of the breakdown of our system, we just have to, excuse me for using your name, we just have to hope that somebody is going to find you and take care of you. we can't -- our kids deserve something better than the hope, you know? and so with that, mr. chairman,
