we deserve to know what the vice president harris would be saying to president biden after everyone has left the room. we don't need to speculate. we can see that her record. in 2013 the california attorney general harris improperly intervened in a vital outlet measure that would have saved williams from the state budget avoiding massive tax write-offs and even the blue state bailout nancy it pelosi is doing today. by altering the actual language on the ballot. why? because she was right of course, sorry because of political donations from public safety unions who it in the biggest roadblock to reform. half a million dollars in donations for her statewide campaign a decade ago and another million dollars for her re-election in 2014 double the payoff once she fixed the ballot measure and it wasn't just favored from the union said earlier when kamala harris district attorney in san francisco she led a notorious con man ricardo ramirez off the hook even though he endangered the lives of san francisco residents and compromise construction contracts. a san francisco mayor willie brown who wa

the biden/harris administration?yes. we saw throughout the convention a lot of lgbtq people, speakers, saying this is the most pro-equality ticket that we've ever had. and that is really absolutely true. when we saw obama run in 2008, in 2012, we didn't have, you know, a president or a president running who supported marriage equality. and so things have really moved. it's absolutely true that this is the most co-equality ticket that we've had, and we saw a speech on the last night of the convention from biden where he wasn't talking about lgbtq people, and all of twitter, all the lgbtq people were commenting, and they weren't commenting on whether or not there were mention of lgbtq issues, they were talking about how well they did at the convention. i think that's really significant, because you're no longer looking to say, did they check all the boxes of mentioning trans people, of mentioning queer people. you're really looking to see, okay, are they presenting well? and that's a huge shift, because i think the ass

harris. i'm sure that was part of the discussion that took place between biden and biden's folks and kamala harrise to play here. it is to amplify joe biden's message, to attack donald trump and mike pence and i think she knows what her role is going to be. now the question whether she ends up being a team player. again if the biden campaign or joe biden wins the election, what role she ends up taking on because the vice-presidential role as we've seen over the course of history can be very influential or not very influential depending on what the president decides. connell: while you talk about the idea of whether, how much influence she will have but also how she acted during her own campaign, one of the criticisms of kamala harris, maybe this is a strange way of looking at it, she didn't have such strong convictions. she flip-flopped easily on certain issues. and some democrats didn't like that about her. i'm not sure, that might have been one of the reasons she didn't catch on. i'm wondering whether that in a strange way actually is an advantage for someone who is number two on the ticket. you

biden. his son, beau, who died from cancer in making this selection of kamala harris. also has served as attorney general in california. i remember when joe biden decided not to run. in 2016. and he was talking about his he didn't have the emotional fuel to run because he was mourn iin the death of his son and just the arc of joe biden's political career to bring him to this moment, it's quite a story, jeff. >> no question about it. and you're absolutely right. that today, the summer of 2015, when joe biden, the vice president, stood in the rose garden. i think you were in the rose garden, i was on the north lawn when this was happening and he decided not the run. hillary clinton was already running but the beau biden thread she was talking about is so key. there is no one who is more of a present figure who is driving joe biden's decision to run for president and in his hope, defeat the sitting president, than beau biden. he is doing it for beau. there's no question that for all the history making nature of senator harris absolutely true for all her experience on the c

let's say the biden-harris ticket becomes the biden-harris administration.ld you have any interest in being part of the administration? rep. jayapal: you know, i've never been -- i talk about this in my book -- i've never been one to plan ahead. i always focus on what is in front of me and look at the opportunities that happened to arise, and i figure out if i can do a better job at whatever it is that has arisen or where i am. that is where i'm going to continue to do. i really enjoy what i'm doing right now. it would have to be pretty good for me to leave congress, but i would never say no. i would never imagine what could be possible. let's see where we go. the work at hand is to get them elected and get donald trump out of the white house, and then push for the most progressive policies possible so this country can resume readership in the world. jonathan: well, hold up, i noticed a little wiggle room there. what would be a good position? when i asked the stacey abrams what she would like to do if she were in vice president, and she said head of nasa. co

and it's ok that there are republican leaders that are voting for biden/harris. and so, just as any segment of haveopulation that you support from, you make sure that support is known. interview, i forgot which one, i called them the silent bowen -- silent biden voters, who are those republicans who feel bullied, who feel that they will be isolated because they support biden, and feel that they will be picked on. so this will show them that they are not alone. and that they do not have to worry about all of those things for showing support for the vice president and next president of the united states. because remember, the theme tonight is we the people, not we the democrats, not we black people, not we white people, not we republicans, but we the people. it is we the people who are in pain right now, and this pandemic is crossing every line. before we did not think it was going to affect young people. well, young people are dying from it. it is affecting white people, republicans, democrats, asians. you go down the list. that is why we led with we the people, so

/biden, it's biden/harris.ll be right here in wilmington. jillian and todd. jillian: reacting to the announcement, president trump doubled down on harris and her left leaning views. todd: here's what he said to sean hannity. >> she wants to raise taxes. she wants to get rid of your second amendment. no guns for protection, no nothing. she is a very strong -- she is very strong on the second amendment, getting rid of it and very bad for the military. she wants to cut the military. she wants to cut spending for the military and the vets and, you know, i don't quite get the choice but we'll have it out. todd: how does the november rate look now that a huge piece of the puzzle is complete? jillian: fox news contributor, rachel campus duffy, joins us live to react. good morning, good to see you. >> good to see you. good morning. jillian: when the news came out yesterday, rachel, i'm sure you guys like many people, you kind of flip the channels to hear everyone's take on this and to hear didn't view points. something

the event between biden and harris.antime, bill hemmer, you are going to take it away, right? >>> nice to see you, dana. big hour starts right now. a big good afternoon, everybody. i'm bill hemmer. two big back to back events. any moment now, president trump will talk about getting kids safely back to the classroom. we will bring that event to you live and it begins from the white house. also, joe biden and kamala harris set to hold their first campaign event together since biden picked the california senator to be his running make. coverage from all angles, brett, chris, and martha are standing by. first, chief white house correspondent, john roberts will start with the classroom. john? >> reporter: a few minutes in th

that's going to change in a biden/harris administration. gratifying to see the strong, enthusiastic reaction to senator harris as our next vice president. you know, it comes from people all over the country, it's already occurring all

what is the dashboard the biden-harris ticket can provide in a chaotic moment? >> i think you will see a lot of this this week. a theme that is one vice president biden talked about and senator harris has talked about. it's the twin pandemics. we have a pandemic and our economic dislocation and disruption and real economic pain is a result of the mishandling of the virus. so connecting responding to the virus and a better response to the virus and economy go hand-in-hand. we also have a long simmering virus, pandemic, which is racial injustice. i think the biden-harris campaign is going to talk about both of these issues. essentially leadership and the difference of leadership for these twin pandemics. on racial justice, it could not be more stark. we have a president who sowed racial division and the biden-harris campaign is about the opposite, embracing diversity, trying to push against divides. you will hear about how we need to president who is a president of all americans. we need an administration who will represent republican, democrat, and independent. th

it sass kamrads for kamala harris. joe bidenala harris will deliver their message to voters this afternoon. steve: griff jenkins is live in washington to the newly minted biden-harris ticket and what we can expect today. griff, it sounds like they will get together at the hotel dupont in wilmington. griff: that's right. the reaction from democrats across the board is one of just rejoicing. congratulating her. come from all the vp contenders who didn't get picked from former president obama, to hillary clinton and bernie sanders. so the daughter of indian and jamaican parents will make history of the first woman of color on a presidential ticket appearing at that hotel in wilmington. we are not sure the exact time. worth noting, guys, this is not the first time she made history. california's first attorney general. then she was elect to the senate in just 2016 where she has become best known for her prosecutorial style and being tough during hearings like this. >> i think the american public has seen quite well that you are biase

this afternoon, joe biden and kamala harris will hold their first campaign event as running mates. e speech is expected to focus on restoring the soul of the nation, basically the message of the biden campaign. president trump is scheduling a competing event next hour. he's expected to unveil new

when i look at this ticket, my conclusion is biden is weak and harris is fake. her position on busing is identical to joe biden's. she gives that impassioned, heartfelt story about what happened to a little child and then it comes out the next day that she also supported what biden did, which is no national -- that was biden's position in the 70s, the terrorist position now. she attacked him for having her position? that's the definition of fakery in a politician. and she's delivered it her entire career. >> sean: it's amazing the election you're converging considering what she was saying about joe just a short time ago. you know, karl rove said this last night, o'reilly set it on my radio show and i agree, i think that kamala harris is going to be attacking the president, that is going to be her full-time vocation. she only had 2% in the democratic primary. i don't know, maybe i'm wrong, but my strategy would be to completely ignore the attacks and point out the truth on the record that the media will never talk about. >> look, race has always come down to presi

in a new interview today, he had already called kamala harris a disaster, labeling biden and harris asocialists. and tonight, what the president again said about suburban housewives here in the u.s. here's our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl tonight. >> reporter: just two weeks ago, donald trump said kamala harris would be a, quote, "fine choice" to be joe biden's running mate. today, he called her a disaster. >> she is a disaster, she's going to be a disaster, i think, for their party. >> reporter: and, in an indication of how he's likely to take on biden and harris as the campaign goes forward, he called both of them socialists. >> i heard, actually, she's the most liberal person in all of congress. that's what i've heard. more liberal than bernie sanders, believe it or not. >> reporter: so far, team trump has been all over the map in their attacks on harris. a republican party spokeswoman, for example, tweeted harris is, quote, "completely controlled by the radical left." but an rnc press release then declared "liberals" are in "revolt" over biden's choice. on a call w

of color on a major party ticket democrats are hoping that alongside presidential nominee joe biden harris will galvanize voters to unseat donald trump harris said trump's presidency has cost lives and livelihoods. the story. and for the democrats as the vice presidential candidates she laid out a vision for the nation. we can do better and deserve so much more. we must elect a president who will bring something different something better and do the important work a president who or bring all of us together black white latino asian indigenous to achieve the future we collectively want. to share a position is a chance to regain a foothold in a time of. the evening centered on strong female voices united behind the harris biden ticket a bridging of the democratic old god with the new i said barack obama used his address to rebuke trump claiming he never took the job seriously read criticism of a sitting president by his predecessor for close to 4 years now he is shown no interest in putting in the work no interest in finding common ground no interest in using the awesome power of his office

>> well, chris, we're now in the fourth day of the biden/harris campaign. starting on tuesday, of course, with the tweets, the texts, the emails about joe biden's choice. on wednesday, that first joint appearance where we heard from both of them, beginning to lay out the themes of a biden/harris tick frt the fall campaign. we saw them yesterday speaking on what has been the central issue for the biden campaign at this point, the pandemic, the president's handling of it, and what they would do in the white house should they take over to try to deal with this crisis in this country, and today, getting some of the formalities out of the way. signing the paperwork to get themselves formally nominated on the ticket. this has been a largely successful but, chris, a very carefully controlled rollout so far, and that's why this interview is going to be such a very, very interesting moment. the first time we'll have a chance to hear her weigh in on the selection, what this vetting process was like. the moments in the campaign that made a lot of people wonder whether

fact he doesn't believe biden could win without harris as his running mate. >>and i think areas will be there with every black woman in the country already impressed with biden but now even more impressed. one byte is a comp it by. not another been kamala harris. >>governor gavin newsome previously endorsed harris for president when she was a candidate he tweeted about harris principled brilliant compassionate empathetic on us the perfect choice for joe biden that's kamala harris let's go win this. house speaker nancy pelosi released a statement that reads quote as a united states senator, a california attorney general and in every leadership position she has held kamala harris has advanced a more just and fair future for all rooted in strong values and her proud american story vice president harris will be a tireless champion for hardworking families everywhere. and this tweet by oakland mayor libby shaft. she's from oakland as well and we already talked about kamala harris being born and raised in oakland chaff says hello proud our country needs this fierce

she'll make a joint appearance with biden today in wilmington, delaware. harrisshe was selected 90 minutes before the announcement. >> reaction is pouring in. former president obama said biden nailed the decision. president trump responded calling harris nasty. >> vice president pence said, congratulations, i'll see you in salt lake city, which is where they'll debate. >> reporter: for the first time in our nation's history, a black woman is on the ticket. the first asian american too. after weeks of speculation, joe biden this afternoon over video chat informing senator kamala harris of his historic decision. biden tweeting the news, i have the great honor to announce that i've picked kamala harris, a fearless fighter for the little guy and one of the country's finest public servants, as my running mate. harris responding, joe biden can unify the person people because he's spent his life fighting for us. as president he'll build an america that lives up to our ideals. i'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for vice president and do what it takes to make

this afternoon, joe biden and kamala harris will hold their first campaign event as running mates. the speech is expected to focus on restoring the soul of the nation, basically the message of the biden campaign. president trump is scheduling a competing event next hour. he's expected to unveil new guidelines for schools to resume in-person classes. this as his administration struggles to get on any message against the biden/harris ticket or a consistent one. this morning, the president tweeted a thinly veiled dog whistle claiming suburban housewives. unquote, will vote for him, because under president biden, low-income housing would invade their neighborhood. not sure why any of those have to do with kamala harris' pick. we'll begin in delaware. joining me from wilmington ahead of the big biden/harris campaign event is our own nbc news correspondent mike memoli. mike, i know we're fighting a little bit of weather here, but i believe we have you up and running. so -- oh, it looks like we were a little bit -- we were a little bit concerned that we were going to lose mike's shot, and

the world will soon get a look at the biden harris team. joe biden and kamala harris are about to make their first joint appearance as running mates. the democratic ticket will make its premiere at a high school near biden's home in the state of delaware. harris is the first woman of color to be nominated for national office by a major political party. democrats hoped her profile would boost average to beat donald trump in november's election. >> one-time rivals not joining forces to launch a historic presidential bid. this was how joe biden asked kamala harris to help him reach the white house. opinions are divivided. >> and think is great t news, lg overdue to have a black woman, minority woman. >> and think it is a little risky because she is a highly controversial candidate. >> it was biden who welcomed let-up on prime prosecutorr onto the national political scene she was sworn into the senate in 2017. from there she furnished her credentials as a combative lawmaker. >> the president has said that torture worst, do you agree with that st

i'm wondering what you think the biden/harris partnership will be like. vice president biden talked about wanting -- just as he wanted with president obama to be the last person in the room when the decision was made, he said he wants that of kamala harris. >> nobody knows better than vice president biden what it takes to be a good vice president. he served for eight years, he knows how much president obama relied on his council, his advice, his taking over responsibilities for big pieces 6 business from the recovery act to bringing back our troops to ending sexual assault on college compasses. just a wide array of responsibilities vice president biden had. he has said he selected senator harris because owe knows that he will get that same wise council from her. and he trusts her. and she's earned that trust and i look forward to the two of them taking that on the road so that the american people can see what i know up close having worked with them both for so long. >> you said that one of joe biden's strong traits as vice president is that he was willing

voted biden, vote harris. guest: thanks for the call from portland, oregon. announcement yesterday on social media, the joint appearance today in delaware. there are virtual events being put together by the biden campaign ahead of the convention. the first official biden-harris add. here it is in its entirety. [video clip] hi. >> are you ready to go to work? >> i am so ready to go to work. i was raised to take action. my mother knew she was raising two black daughters who would be treated differently because of how they look. growing up, whenever i got upset about something, my mother would look me in the eye and asked, what are you going to do about it? broken why when i saw a justice system, i became a lawyer to try and fix it. it is why during the foreclosure crisis, i took on the big banks as california's attorney general. senator, i states have thought to represent people like my mother, people who politicians often overlook or do not take seriously. right now, america needs action. , thee middle of a pandemic president is trying to rip away health care.

biden informed harris of his decision over a zoom call from his delaware home on tuesday. now biden and harris had faced off against each other in the democratic presidential primary, including that heated debate moment over school bussing but ultimately biden said he doesn't hold grudges and decided to go with an experienced campaigner as his partner on the democratic ticket. harris is one of only three women to make it to the vice presidential slot for a major party following geraldine ferraro and sarah palin. she's making history of her own as first women of color to be vice presidential nominee for a major party. harris is the daughter of immigrants. her mother from india. her father from jamaica. this is quite the historic ticket as biden had faced some pressure to select a woman of color as his running mate. biden and harris will appear together for the first time as the democratic ticket here in wilmington, delaware. they are delivering remarks later in the day on wednesday and following that they will hold a grassroots virtual fundraiser with their supporters as the

when joe biden and kamala harris walked out, there was no applause. when joe biden introduced kamala harris, there was no cheering from the crowd. there were not thousands of people excited for the ticket they were rooting for as democrats joining this event. it was incredibly interesting. and there was social distancing between kamala harris and joe biden when their masks were, in fact, off. it certainly is a sign of the times with what we're dealing with right now, but how do you think it's received? >> i couldn't help but comparing it to the 2016 announcement when hillary clinton introduced tim kaine. lots of people there. how much four years makes a difference, especially during a pandemic. i think what joe biden and kamala harris's campaign was trying to do was separate themselves from the trump campaign and show americans how they will handle the pandemic. joe biden was asked how he would essentially campaign going forward with harris. he said, no, he would listen to the science and public health guidelines. >> all right. julia manchester, thank

[indiscernible] >> joe biden and senator harris had more to say about the pandemic come including their push to have a mask mandate. this is just under 10 minutes. vp biden: good afternoon, folks. i'm going to be brief. i have vice pres. biden: good afternoon, folks. i'm going to be brief. i have been getting a briefing on average four times a week since march from a group of public health experts on the state of coronavirus and all aspects relating to it. today, which is the normal briefing i heard from two added experts. about a range of issues. we talked about school openings. we talked about the distribution of the vaccine if and when one arrives. we talked about the racial disparities that exist and how it is affecting the different races differently. we talked about the continued lack of ppe, protective equipment and testing capacity. out a comprehensive plan over the last three months on each of these things. i want to talk about one thing. very straightforward. it does not have anything to do with democrats, republicans or independents. it has to do with a simple proposition. ev

they'll have the virtual fund-raiser with both joe biden, kamala harris and their spouses. at's happening next. my colleague ar let saenz just asked joe biden if we would see him and kamala harris campaigning together, because, remember, so as far as joe biden has been doing things very small socially distanced events. >> he said, if the science allows, they will be seen campaigning together. with that big calvia. that's what hef seen from the biden campaign, really drawing that contrast, where they want to be seen as taking it very seriously, and dealing it in a very different way. will we see them out on the campaign trail together? it sounds like it would be up to science. anderson? >> jessica dean, thank you very much. before that it was san francisco's district attorney. >> what do you think? >> it was spot on. it reminded me of the need for humanity in this election. we have been dealing with so many challenges, with the trump administration for far too long, and her speech got us back to focusing on what is most important. the american people, the challenges we are fa

senator kamala harris is joe biden's running mate. a history-making choice with harris being the first african-american woman up for the job. and the biden campaign website has been updated with the photo of the two, as you see, high-fiving saying, quote, together we will beat donald trump. harris and biden will appear together tomorrow for the first time speaking in delaware. and i want to go right to cnn's abby phillip to talk more about this. senator kamala harris joining biden as his running mate. and a lot of times presidential candidates are known to choose a running mate that will perhaps make up for their own perceived weaknesses. harris brings diversity and she brings youth to the biden campaign, among other attributes. >> yeah, she does. and i think that she brings a really long history with the support of black women, which is also very important. as everybody's pointed out, the cornerstone of the democratic party. when biden is making this decision, there are a couple of things that people close to him have told me that he

let's talk about what is driving the biden/harris campaign. kamala harris said you're probably not going to hear president trump talk about these things tonight. >> reporter: it was quite a different speech we've heard from kamala harris compared to what we heard from the republican national convention. of course the party has been mounting daily efforts to counter program the rnc. harris, the most high profile voice, in addition to former vice president joe biden going on cable networks today, harris started outlaying out the crises plaguing our country, not just the pandemic, not just the economic recession, but the storms battering the south. the fires raging in california and the shooting of another black man, this time in kenosha. telling us here today, reporters who were the only ones in the room, she fully supports the peaceful protesters on the ground in wisconsin. listen to what she said. >> it's no wonder people are taking to the streets and i support them. we must always defend peaceful protest and peaceful protesters. we should not

biden made the announcement on twitter and e-mail. harriso facebook, saying in part, i've never been more ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. donald trump thinks this country belongs to him. but joe biden knows it belongs to all of us. to the people and together the people are going to take it back. in the reaction from the democrats was swift congratulations from every vp contender who didn't get picked to former president obama, former secretary of state hillary clinton and even progressive senator bernie sanders, who tweeted this, congratulations to kamala harris. she stonn understands -- she understands what it takes to stand up for working people, fight for healthcare for all and take down the most corrupt administration in history. let's get to work and win. it wasn't always a love fest. the california senator showing early in the primaries she wasn't afraid to take on joe biden. >> to hear you talk about the reputation of two united states senators who built their reputation and career on segregation of race in this country.

biden-harris gave a speech last night, you have been a supporter first of her, of kamala harris and then of joe biden. boy she certainly galvanized donors. the biden campaign raised what $48 million and as a member of the biden finance committee, mark, has that paced out since biden's speech last night? >> yeah, no its actually been going great. i think vice president biden gave a phenomenonal speech. i think senator harris did the same, so so far so good. they've been raising quite a bit of money, and it looks like they are a phenomenonal ticket together. >> liz: trump supporters would say that the trump economy looked pretty good until the pandemic struck. depending on the poll, while trump lags in a lot of areas he still leads on the economy. what is the plan for biden to shift that and i want your perspective, because you are a businessman. you are a billionaire a guy who is self-made. >> look i think at the end of the day, what vice president biden, senator harris are going to do, i think they are going to end up working on trying to grow small businesses and trying to make sure the

the democrats choose harris, they write. bidento the party's requirements in choosing harris as his running mate on tuesday he checked the essential boxes his party has demanded. we'll see how the california senator plays in the swing state suburbs that mr. biden needs to defeat president trump. so they make the point that she checked all the boxes for biden and for the party, but can she win over those swing state suburbs? how does she play with them? >> that's exactly the problem. she is the epitome of a san francisco liberal. even farther to the left than barack obama was. she seems to be farther to the left than nancy pelosi is. when you look at what she stands for and what she believes in in terms of raising taxes and in terms of infringing on the second amendment, in terms of support for abortion up until the ninth month and beyond she will have a very difficult time in those swing states with those independent voters. i would also say we're facing as a nation right now a huge economic challenge and when voters begin to say

and what about all of that talk about senator harris took aim at biden on the debate stage? and the former vice president himself and his own notes on kamala harris in recent days, captured in a photo, in his own writing, writing "do not hold grudges." anjust moments ago, weighing inn this pick. abc's mary bruce leading us off. >> reporter: tonight, for the first time in our nation's history, a black woman is on the ticket. after weeks of speculation, joe biden this afternoon over video chat informing senator kamala harris of his historic decision. biden then tweeting the news -- "i have the great honor to announce that i've picked kamala harris -- a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants -- as my running mate." harris responding -- "joe biden can unify the american people because he's spent his life fighting for us. and as president, he'll build an america that lives up to our ideals. i'm honored to join him as our party's nominee for vice president, and do what it takes to make him our commander in chief." biden has said he was

the historic decision from former vice president joe biden, revealing today senator kamala harris was his choice for a running mate. the campaign posting this image of biden at his home in delaware today, in a zoom chat with harris, asking her to join him on the ticket. if elected, she would be the first woman vice president, the first black vice president. she would be the highest ranking asian-american in u.s. history. in a statement announcing his decision, biden called harris smart, tough and ready to lead, saying she'll be the best partner in the battle for the soul of this nation. news of biden's choice spread across twitter, in fact, what they call a heat map right here late today. it shows where the tweets were most concentrated when the news was announced and how quickly it spread across the country. tonight here, who is kamala harris? her childhood, her firsts, the history that she has made already. and what about all of that talk about senator harris took aim at biden on the debate stage during the primaries? and the former vice president himself and his own notes on kamala

joe biden and kamala harris sharing the same stage a day after biden called harris, making her not only the first black woman but the first woman of south asian descent on a major presidential party ticket. biden spoke of her nomination at length. he talked about why he thinks harris is the right partner for his vision of an american future after president trump. >> we're at one of those inflection points, you've heard me say that before in our history. a life changing election for this nation. and the choice -- the choice we make this november is going to decide the future of america for a very, very long time. and i had a great choice. great opportunities. i had a great choice, but i have no doubt that i picked the right person to join me as the next vice president of the united states of america. and that's senator kamala harris. >> for her part, senator harris spent a significant amount of time hammering at president trump's record, in particular, his failures combating the coronavirus pandemic. >> there's a reason it has hit america worse than any other advanced nation. it's becaus
