senior congressional correspondent chad pergram has details tonight. ning, chad. >> chad: mike, good evening. democrats they groused about losing credibility. there is abject fear about racist down ballot. racist -- races down ballot. some believe it's too messy to ditch the president at this point. >> the white house staff can't wrap him in bubble. they have to put him out there. i'm blunt. he should have been on the phone friday. took too long to get on the phone. took too long to talk to people. >> a reckoning looms when democrats return to washington next week. the recess for the fourth of july bought president biden time. a luxury he lacked. >> so we need a re-set. we need a course correction. we have got to acknowledge that this was not just one bad night. >> a guy who is threatening our democracy, our fundamental rights and free world right now is winning. we got to fix that. >> now huffman believes vice president harris should be the biden alternative. harris is from california. a staggering 40 house democrats hail from the golden state alone. t

whether or not he intends to resign that's the question, right chad pergram? rejoining live from washington, chad, that's the question, will he resign? >> yes, there will start to be a lot of pressure on him to do so. that there was a caucus meeting, very secret democratic closed caucus meeting some months ago and it was very interesting that some of these democrats, many of the democrats who left that meeting thought menendez might come in and say he was sorry, say give me a couple of months i will resign then, that never happened. i was struck by the fact that so many democrats after that meeting, as bob menendez tried to plead his case to his fellow democrats, his political case at that stage, they were very disappointed with him. you know, i talked to cory booker, the democratic senator from new jersey just a couple of days in washington before the trial started back in may. and i said will you be paying close attention to the trial? and he said no i haven't really spoken to senator menendez about it. i will pay attention to what the verdict is but not day

chad pergram says he doesn't believe a resolution for the 20 but the memo will hit the floor this weekhere's a byron donalds of the congressman on "fox news sunday" about his support of invoking the 20 but the memo. i do agree we have a responsibility to make sure the occupants of the oval office has the mental capabilities to do that job. but we are seeing is they have decided to cover up for joe biden to protect the radical agenda as opposed to what sort of the best interest of the american people of that resolution hit the floor about four. support should that hit the floor where you supported? >> if it hit the floor of definitely support it. he is compromised and we all see that. it's not only a threat we see in terms as we approach the election time, what are our enemies thinking about the process because i do not know if the end it will hit the floor we have a lot of folks that understand the way the president is right now willing to go through the process and see what takes us from there. the oversight committee james comer's calling on president biden's physician kevin o'connor

. >> dana: chad pergram is live with more. have we heard anything? >> right now democrats are just starting to filter out of this meeting. we saw jerry nadler, a democrat from new york as well and steve cohen who indicated that he thought there was no consensus there. i talked to another democrat off the record this morning saying we're still trying to figure this out. here is the problem for the president and democrats. there are many opposing opposition to president biden. here is an example. >> joe biden all the way. >> you still support joe biden? >> yes. >> joe biden is the nominee. >> other democrats with competitive districts or states are putting distance between themselves and president biden. that includes ohio democrat who believes it is time for the president to go. others are elusive like susan wild of pennsylvania. >> we saw your statement earlier today. your statement said you thought it was a problem. >> my statement speaks for itself. >> did you express some of those concerns on the call yesterday? >> my statement is my statement is

senior congressional correspondent chad pergram with the very latest.is rapidly approaching critical mass. >> even in the past couple minutes we have another statement from ritchie torres, a democrat from new york saying the reality we saw with our own lying eyes is evidence of a deeper challenge. he accused democrats of denial and delusion. now today's meeting with biden campaign officials is not so much about them selling the president to senators but senators expressing their reservations about president biden. democrats are worrying about hemorrhaging seats down ballot. >> i am hoping that in addressing the concerns that have been raised the president's advisors will present data, clear analytics that show the path to success in november. >> what i want to hear is how they are going to win the election. >> democrats are practicing avoidance when pressed about the president's chances. many would not even express what they need to hear in the meeting. >> what do you need to hear? senator, what do you need to hear from the advisors today to -- what do

bill. >> bill: thank you, chad pergram. be in touch all day. thank you, sir. >> dana: let's bring in republican congressman jim jordan, you have a busy day ahead of you. one question is there is a long list of them. you see a lot of republicans saying that biden should resign. if you are not well enough to have the nomination to go for the presidency, are you well enough to serve right now? here is j.d. vance last night with jess watters. >> look, there is a constitutional process, the 25th amendment. if he can't run for president, he can't serve as president. if they want to take him down because he is mentally incapable of serving invoke the 25th amendment. you don't get to do it in the most politically way. >> the american people agree with senator vance. what i'm focused on let's beat camp hair and whoever the democrats put up. i don't think it matters that much. you can't change the facts. in 3 1/2 years we went from a secure border to no border. safe streets to record crime. $2 gas to $four gas. those facts won't change no matter who they

chad pergram, senior congressional correspondent, is on capitol hill and what do we know, chad? >> good morning. this strategy is rare and unclear how the house could collect such a fine. but luna wants the house to use its own powers to get the tapes from the interview with robert hur. >> the resolution states that every day he doesn't bring the tapes to the well it is a $10,000 fine he will have to pay personally an adjusted that with the support of speaker johnson. we have a lot of members didn't know if they could take the vote on. using the agent at arms to bring punitive action in regards to detaining him. >> in his report investigating how the presidents classified documents at his home hur suggested that president biden was forgetful. republicans believe the tapes boost their argument that the president is out of it. they say this was on full display at the debate two weeks ago. not all republicans are on board with the gamut. including house speaker mike johnson. >> look, if it's brought to the floor, i will vote for it. but as a constitutional law litigator, my prefere

"politico" reports this morning that george clooney gave obama a heads-up that he would be calling for biden to drop out in his op-ed and obama did not object reportedly. the biden campaign down played clooney's op-ed indicating biden has more stamina than clooney. that fell flat and his allies are trying to clean it up. >> i question whether george clooney has spent a lot of time with president biden in person. i'm more of a matt damon gu
