pacific, i'm jose diaz-balart in for ana cabrera. we begin this morning with special counsel jack smith attempting to revive the federal election interference case against former president trump, with a new superseding indictment. this new indictment includes the same charges as the original, but some of the details of the accusations have been tweaked after the supreme court's recent ruling granting presidents broad immunity for official acts. joining us now nbc's vaughn hillyard, also with us msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. let's start with you, lisa, what specifically is different in this superseding indictment vis-a-vis the original one? >> that's start with the biggest change, josÉ. the supreme court had said that president trump's communications with his department of justice were part of his core constitutional authority and the special counsel responded to that by taking out of this superseding indictment over 15 paragraphs that just talked about the plan to use the department of justice to essentially put its thumb on

i'm ana cabrera in for katy tur today. the countdown is on. 24 hours from now, we should know the democratic ticket, with kamala harris and her running mate appearing in their first rally together tomorrow in philadelphia. and this will be the most consequential decision she will have made so far in her short whirlwind campaign for president. with just 92 days until the election, and 14 days until the democratic national convention. so who is on the even shorter short list? we have learned vice president harris met face to face with at least three top contenders over the weekend. arizona senator mark kelly, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, and minnesota governor, tim walz all sat down for interviews at her d.c. home. who's the best fit chemistry wise. how would each square up to j.d. vance, and arguably, most importantly, what could voters see in harris's right hand man that they don't necessarily see in harris herself. a former astronaut and combat veteran, strong on the border and immigration, a popular governor of a
