david axelrod: that's like a layup for any president to do. you get a huge audience. so the fact that they turn that interview down was really a concern to a lot of people. i think that set alarm bells off in a lot of places. - mr. speaker, the president of the united states.

david axelrod, a former senior adviser to president obama, also, ashley etienne, former communicationsirector for vice president harris, and man-hours, who served as a senior adviser in the trump administration. david, is there any way that the strategy to let trump be trump? we'll work in this election or does the trump campaign really needs to settle on a message well, it's only that's almost a rhetorical question, anderson. >> yes, they have to settle on a message and i think the message they tried to deliver on the teleprompter was probably close to where they want to appeal, which is to try and saddle the vice president with the president's record of the parts of the president's record that people don't like or appreciate. but it always gets bogged down in trump's own acting out, his characterizatio ns of her as low intelligence or references that are gratuitous and nasty and have nothing i think to do with the central thesis of the speech. and this is a problem he clearly is somebody who feels like he had erase in hand the candidates changed at the top. now he's in a very, very c

million people starting as often is cnn political commentators from across the political spectrum, david axelrod, ashley allison, and scott jennings so david this mar-a-lago thing today, what did it accomplish? well, nothing necessarily helpful to him. i don't think it accomplished something. maybe for the harris campaign. look, i think john, what's happened here is that they planned a very effective campaign against joe biden and they may think of it as having one, a campaign against joe biden because he's no longer the candidate, but they landed about three months early. and now they have a different race and he's clearly freaked out about it. the reason that he went on and on about crowd size was because he's been watching these rallies of kamala harris and he has crowd envy because she's stealing his act. she's she's got big enthusiastic crowds. i also thought it was noteworthy a couple of others answering questions to reporters on the trail in sitting down for an interview well look i would do i would be i would opt for more rather than less. >> i would come to the back of her campaign plan

david axelrod and john fabra will be here live in chicago with me. don't go anywhere tonight. >> cnn is live from chicago as vice president kamala harris delivers his acceptance speech on the dnc's final night. jake tapper and anderson cooper leads cnn's special live coverage, the democratic national convention, to tonight at seven on cnn and streaming on the day you get your clear choice dental implants, changes your struggle with missing teeth forever the changes how you eat how you feel, and how you enjoyed life clear choice network doctors have changed over 150,000 lives with dental implants because it clear choice day changes every day. finance your new smile for as low as $148 a month for arts for qualified patients. schedule a free consultation we really don't want people to think of feeding food like ours as spoiling their dogs. >> good real food is simple. >> looks like through smells like food is what dogs are supposed to be eating 20 seconds a week to lose 20% of your weight in a year with diet and exercise. that's the power of glp-ones th

kamala harris or donald trump joining us now, james carville, the democratic strategist, david axelrod, the former senior adviser to president obama, and cnn, senior political commentator. i'll ask you both this question, david, beginning with you, was her ascendancy guaranteed or is it because of trumps self-destructive behavior? >> look. i think it's a combination of things. i think there's a tremendous sense of relief in the democratic party and in the country, nobody wanted the choice between biden and trump. and i think nikki haley was right, the first party that dispatched there octogenarian candidate was likely to profit from that but it's also true that harris got out of the gates very quickly and she did. she consolidated the nomination very quickly. her performance was very strong coming out of that. and so she added to the momentum and listen, i think she'll she'll have a good week here and then you hit the labor day and then you have a debate one week after labor day. and if she does reasonably well in that debate, she could extend this momentum, right into when the voting

back, then we'll see yes with us now, cnn political commentator, senior political commentator, david axelrod also 2020 trump campaign press communications director erin perrine and cnn political commentator bakari sellers, david, let me start with you. tim walz, josh shapiro, and then there were two what is the fact that it being these to tell you? >> well look, i think one thing it tells me is she's got to distinctive paths here because tim waltz would be the safe driver award choice. he has no sharp edges he's well liked in the party. he's obviously, he's he's gone on a charm offensive over the last week has been on everything but the home garden network and he's done very, very well and you hear people talking about him. he's got this folksy style and so on. josh shapiro a little more edgy dynamic in some ways. but he's the governor of a state that has 19 electoral votes. a state that both republicans and democrats say she has to win in order to become president of the united states. highly unlikely that you'll take a different path. it could happen. highly unlikely. so he's a very popula

, and alyssa farah griffin, david axelrod how encourage should democrats be? >> is there a danger of them actually being kind of too euphoric? >> yeah, i've been talking about this for some time. look she has made extraordinary progress. we were all in milwaukee a month ago and, there was euphoria there and a sense that this race was over, that they were going to win by a landslide, perhaps sweeping big majorities in the house and senate and things have changed dramatically but this is still a very competitive race if the election were today, i'm not sure who would win and i think it may well be president trump because it's an electoral college fight. and in those battleground states, yeah, we were looking at national numbers right at the top of this program. that's a mean, it's misleading. >> i've said and i've said several times hear that for a democrat to win those battleground states, they have to have a significant lead in the electoral college. remember, joe biden won by 7 million votes nationally, nationally last time, a margin of 45,000 votes or 44,000

and david axelrod said, that might actually hurt her with independence. what do you think? would have a press conference or talk to reporters, that is one of the questions we would have for her, what did you know about the president's state and demeanor? she was meeting with him frequently. she talks about her many meetings with him. that is a question she will have to answer at some point in the campaign. what was her sense for him in this debate night the first time saw the behaviors displayed and how was that possible? so many other people meeting with him have saw that. >> bill: it will be interesting to see how she answers that put the media have given her a pass. >> dana: the white house press corps spoken from little experience, you guys have a little power to say, "no, we are not going to cover that. we are going to wait." but you look at what is going on. >> this is an absolute honeymoon. next she is in. none of us has seen anything like this before. it is an extraordinary time. you think about the rnc and the republican convention in so many people at that event f

discuss now with cnn, senior political commentator and former senior adviser to president obama, david axelrod. david, thanks for being here on a saturday afternoon with us. we appreciate it. >> yeah. good to see you, jessica. >> good to see you too. let's talk first. we have a lot to discuss, but let's talk first about this debate. i had anthony scaramucci on last hour, he made the case. he thinks trump will ultimately debate, but that he's kind of using this to get back into the news cycle to try to wrestle away some attention from kamala harris. what do you think about him backing out of this debate, trying to propose this new one? >> well, look, he's been signaling this for a few days when rachel scott for maybe see questioned him sharply at the national association of black journalists. he went on a rant about abc and fake news and so on. i think that was a prelude to what we just saw today. but listen his whole message has been built for two years now around strength. he's strong. he's the guy who can handle these problems and so on. and now he's got a younger and more agile opponent. wh

if you may remember david axelrod obama's senior advisor, he got a secret service detail after a man. began shooting in the lobby of the holocaust museum and when they the man died he was killed the shooter was killed but when they went through his pockets, they found all these drawings and and the address and phone number for david axelrod and commentary about his jewishness. so the secret service began protecting him after that long answer. carol could you talk about today what's happening with the secret service now relative to biden and i know of course you're very well versed on the last years with trump, but perhaps some context on the trump time and exactly where we're at now. um, i hope that someone hears what i'm about to say beyond this room. i'm very disappointed that after. basically diagramming what's wrong and broken with the secret service and how under-served the agents are. by the federal government in the federal and the white house in providing them with funding. that the biden administration has done almost nothing to rectify that now the biden administration has a

>> david axelrod, what i mean, what is the idea behind that? they're look i think they wouldn't have been here last night, but for the fact that out. of respect for. president biden they felt that it should be or but generally candidates ticket tour into the convention city in arrive in the convention city on the eve of the or on the day of the actual vote. and then they. are speeches and so that i think they made an accommodation by my guess, is they'll beam her in perhaps after the i don't know this for a fact, but perhaps after the thing, but this whole thing is obviously the actual vote happened two weeks ago. and such anderson chicago was the last place where there actually was a meaningful role call vote and that was in 1968. and it was so tumultuous that the system was changing. now the voters select these delegates everything is decided before the convention generally and so this is for the benefit of television and a sense of unity in the party, which employees were going to be showing you live, talk from their rally. the width, kamala

david axelrod, alyssa farah griffin, and van jones. always like to tell our viewers what we're talking about when we're not on tv. and one of the things that i do not is the reality check. >> yes. >> this is, as people have maybe said too much, this is a bit of a sugar high because of the shift, because of the very real enthusiasm. but 90 days is a long time. >> it is. first of all, i don't think i think sugar high now may be a thing of the past because that was the first week, the second hour or two. i mean, they've gotten out of the gates very very well. the nature of presidential politics, however, is that the better you do, the better you have to do the bar gets raised. there are more tests around the corner and, you know unveiling a running mate is getting the right person it's obviously important but this was kind of a lay up. i mean, this was a an event that you can control. there are things you can't control. so the question is, what happens when there are debates? what happens when she gets into a regimen of interviews as i as

scott jennings, ashley allison, david axelrod alyssa farah griffin, and van jones. you might have caused caught us speaking off camera a little bit because that's what we do here david, i want to start with you about kind of the optics, the strategy, the messaging, all of this given the fact, that you have. done this before, how how do you think it played, right? >> i mean, i think they had a great night listen there to places you'd like to be in a campaign. you want to be about the future and you want to be about hope and that change. >> you mean yeah i mean, i've heard that but, you know, such an interesting transformation has happened. suddenly. donald trump feels like the embattled incumbent. i mean, that's the way he's behaving and they are presenting themselves as the turn the page age candidates and that's the field that we got tonight. but what walt springs is, you know, i prompt from the midwest, i live in the midwest and, you know, they talk about midwest nice he he delivered some heavy blows, but he did it with that kind of gentle humor that actually lands

so let's talk about this now with cnn, senior political commentator david axelrod, who served as senior advisor in the obama white house alright, david, you surprised here well, not really. >> i think the error was pointing this direction the last few days. listen, tim waltz has really emerged in the last couple of weeks. i mean, he's, he's been everywhere and we've all seen him and he's and we've seen what the appeal is. right? he is a he is a norman rockwell painting sprung to life. he is a portrait of middle america. he, you know, the whole history of coming from a small town and, enlisting in the national guard at 17 and high school teacher coach takes a losing team to the state championship and then his political career representing a swing district. so he knows how to run in those kind of contested areas in the midwest but i think probably in other rural and small town areas. so you can see the appeal and he has he was a moderate, a member of congress. he has been a progressive governor. but his achievements are ones that democrats are actually running on. things like paid family

. >> him alrighty then outfront now, two men who know all about preparing for big debates, david axelrod and stuart stevens, they were on opposite sides in 2012 when the obama and romney campaign. thank you, gentlemen for being here tonight david, what does harris turning to? felipe rennes tell you about how how she is approaching this huge debate well, that's method acting. >> i hope there's a madness to his method because that would make the thing more authentic. looks the idea of the, of debate prep is to anticipate everything that might happen to game out how you're going to handle it and to come in there with a strategy for what you want to communicate a narrative, a story that you want to tell through this debate, that you hope will prevail and so prep is all about anticipating circumstances and giving the candidate a sense it's of what they are going to face on that stage oftentimes and this was true in before the binder, but in our debate prep, i don't know how stewart handled his, but we did create a kind of mock stage that looked exactly like the one that they were going to deb

david axelrod in an in an rv. >> i'd love to see you guys together. that would be great. >> people. i listen, there's no one's gonna mistake as brothers, but, you know, erica, david has a point there when you talk about things like communism, what does that mean, right? it does, it, does it mean much to people, but you need to you need to peel back the onion and talk about issues. well, you know, governor, what, how do your policies, who's going to pay for those things? who is going to pay for the free largest who's going to pay for these things? where does the money come from? and let people explain it. let's have a debate on the merits and end to trump's point out, the communist part don't see as a communist, just say, look, bernie sanders is probably the most progressive, the most liberal member of congress. this was bernie sanders pick for vice president. that's people should be talking josh shapiro, beloved in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, who would have given the trump excuse me, the harris campaign a huge bump would have probably probably won the state for her they passed

i'm going to be in there making making sure he doesn't do okay. >> all right. >> david axelrod in an in an rv. >> i'd love to see you guys together. that would be great. hey people. >> i listened. there's no one's going to mistake as brothers, but you know, erica david has a point there when you talk about things like communism, what does that mean, right? it does, it, does mean much to people, but you need you need to peel back the onion and talking about issues. well, you know, governor, what, how do your policies, who's going to pay for those things? who's going to pay for the free life? i just who's going to pay for these things? where does the money come from and let people explain it. let's have a debate on the merits and to trump's point about the communist apart, don't say as a communist, just say, look, bernie sanders is probably the most progressive, the most liberal member of congress this was bernie sanders pick for vice president. that's people should be talking about. josh shapiro, beloved in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, who would have given the trump excuse me, the

i disagree with with david axelrod is not irrational. it's something that xi cultivated it's here is present and a lot of that has to do with this simple fact. and i think that david would probably agree with me this week. we just own the news because of this simple fact that she's going to announce the vice president and then she's going to hit seven different swing states. on the schedule this week for donald trump today, he is with a streamer sensation aid and ross down at mar-a-lago. and then he has one event in the swing state of montana. i'm saying that facetiously and so while kamala harris is hitting every single swing state, talking to voters, meeting the voters where they are donald i'll trump, i'm afraid of showing the fact that he 78-years-old in a swing state but i see your point yeah. well, so i a breon said bakari is right. if republicans if republicans don't start talking about the issues that matter to people, right? if we don't talk about what we're going to do if donald trump doesn't say this is, what i'm gonna do to ma

. >> now, from david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama, ashley etienne, her former communications director to vice president harris, and scott jennings, former special assistant to president george w bush, david does it make sense to you that he says he's not ending his campaign, he's just suspending it and he's going to be on the ballots in some states, but not a battleground states because he doesn't want to hurt donald trump in those states. well, first, anderson, let me say i watched some of his press conference today and there were a lot of things he said that didn't necessarily make a lot of sense to me. but from what i divined, what he was saying is he will continue to compete in states where he doesn't think he'll have an impact on the outcome of the race. compete, in, blue states and red states, but he won't compete in battleground states. >> i mean, that's just seems like a vanity thing. like just he wants to stay in the game, wants to have supporters out in the streets waving his name around. it just seems kind of authentic. >> i mean i don't think you have to be i don'

and david axelrod is kevin liptack. so astutely noted a joe biden rally. it was not it was humorous. it was energetic. i mean, you saw a lot of people in the crowd was it was a moment. >> kevin kevin has various stewart i'm not sure he needed to be that a student version, but look, that that was a rally that i'm familiar with from my years working with barack obama, that was the feeling that you used to get in those rooms the feeling that better things were possible that you are part of something that a movement for change that would deliver something positive for people. and that is a powerful thing. so powerful, powerful thing to see. and it's a powerful contrast with what you see on the other side there's trump rallies in his speeches may energize his base, but they feel so grinding, there's so negative, there, so filled with fear and grievance and so, you know, if i'm sitting there on the other side, i'm looking at this and i'm thinking this a problem did you get that vibe from it tonight? >> just the sense of one her commanding presence, which i belie

david axelrod, i want to start with you, democrats, of course, won georgia in 2020. biden took the state democratic senator just were elected in 2022, but we have a recent poll of the key sunbelt states. and in georgia trump was leading harris by seven points. that is the largest margin among these four battleground states. and really it's the only one outside of the margin of error. so david, do you believe that this is it's the best use of harris's time with just 68, 68 days to go until the election yeah. >> look, i don't think she's seven points behind in georgia. i think she's probably behind in georgia, but more in the area of a couple of points and it's within reach and it's within reach for a few prisons, one is there was a lot of energy on the ticket in 2020 with raphael warnock on the ticket that energized african american voters in a state where there's a significant african american population she has the ability to do the same biden wasn't getting the benefit of that in this election against trump they're also, there's a significant hispanic and asian pop

head to the polls democrats are hoping the enthusiasm we saw last night wasn't just a sugar high david axelrods here to talk about all of this. >> next check your nothing. the space shuttle accident is usually not one thing. it's a series of events is that part of the wing coming apart spatially? on via the full series sunday at nine on cnn in the first bill is subway has never been easier just by inner foot login out, get another freed dollar hard part is telling travel. he doesn't get to suck on foot long, wait, seriously? i've got to next time, buddy now in the subway association walked, went off this is why we walked there, why we want we walk in the alzheimer's association, walk to end alzheimer's what because we're getting closer to beating this disease good morning with the collapse good. good. >> good yeah. strike down collects chewy group by for fast and gentle constipation relief in as little as 30 minutes, making your good morning even better with all gulacsi. >> this is the tempur-pedic breeze mattress and it's designed to help you feel cool. so no more sweating all night no kickin

cnn's sara sidner, bloomberg's david gura cnn commentators, david axelrod, and se cupp. what a day. david axelrod, i'm going to start with you because as far as i know, you're the only one of all of us who was actually interviewed for four vice president and that what he had joe biden, when you were at senior adviser to barak obama what do you think of the pick? >> look, the one thing about tim walz says that he dropped out of a norman rockwell painting okay. it comes from small town america, enlisted in the national guard when he was 17 you know, a social studies studies geography teacher who took a losing football team and helped coach it to the state championship. i mean, you know, he looks and sounds like small town america. so if you want to reach out in those ways he's very, very good. he also ran a bunch of races in the swing congressional district. you covered him in congress jeff's right, who is more moderate candidate then, but things that brand him as a progressive are very much economic, things like paid family leave and childcare help and so on i think democrats are run

i want to bring in cnn senior political commentator david axelrod. i'm also told he's got some experience in politics as well as with chicago david, i know i know you're anxiously awaiting the world descending on your hometown. three weeks ago, president biden was set to accept his party's nomination. now he will be speaking on the opening night. it's kind of a pass the torch moment that the vice president, how important is that moment going to be for the party well, i think emotionally for the people in the room, it's going to be very important. >> there's a lot of there's a lot of love and affection and appreciation for joe biden, and there's great appreciation for the difficult decision that he made yes, he expected to be speaking on the fourth night and he expected thank you. to be his convention and it's not going to be. but in making the decision he made, he breathed new life into the democratic campaign and new and people now believe they have good chance to defeat donald trump, which is always what the president said was his objective but he's

. >> but david axelrod, i mean, these are two they're both put voting to put someone back in office who he pressured doug ducey to overturn the legitimate election results in his state. and richard burr believed that he was guilty on that day and talking about but what he did for mike pence or didn't do for mike pence, but i think mike pence have a different view of that what do you make of that yes. >> yeah. i have to disagree with shermichael. yes, of course. powers necessary to get things done, but you know, when you vote to convict a president of the united states for high crimes and misdemeanors. that is a disqualification. and what's really stunning about the bar thing is that he's retired from politics. he's not running for anything and so he really didn't have to do this. and his explanation was really hard to understand to see may have political aspirations. what is clear is that you know supporting trump is the nominee, is in the minds of a lot of republican politicians. the toll they have to pay to be members of the republican party. now, we saw that at the republican convent

. >> up next, a discussion on engaging young boaters with former obama senior advisor david axelrod,gan lieutenant governor garlin gilchrist, adam kinzinger, and chicago mayor brandon johnson. this event was hosted by the university of chicago institute of politics and is about an hour and a half.

. >> up next, a discussion on engaging young boaters with former obama senior advisor david axelrod, michigan lieutenant governor garlin gilchrist, adam kinzinger, and chicago mayor brandon johnson. this event was hosted by the university of chicago institute of politics and is about an hour and a half. the institute of politics. you are watching live coverage on c-span2. >> to chicago to talk about voter engagement, voter registration to get people mobilizing getting people to participate in this is just such an essential part of >>>> what a great site for, not sore eyes, but old eyes. it is great to see all of you guys. when we knew the convention was coming here, we started having these discussions about ringing young people -- bringing young people from across the country to chicago to talk about voter engagement, voter registration may be the greatest threat to democracy is indifference. i was involved in a campaign in 2008 for president obama. if him a hand. you guys see michelle and barack last night? they still have it. but it was folks like you, young people across this coun

in physical computer servers on the ground and reaction to that with democrat strategists and david axelrod and erasional -- era erasional exuberance and and laptops and there. >> i'm here standing on the northern plank on the eastern flank talking about what we have in terms of the eastern plank and our nato allies and what's at stake at this very moment. the united states shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the republic of north korea and exuberance and it's trump's race to lose and he's ahead and he's ahead most of the battleground states. liz: final word, caroline. >> kamala harris is incompetent and everyone running her campaign and don't let her near a camera without a tell prompter and should agree to the debate with tram and he'll be there no matter what and needs to answer for her disastrous record supports all of joe biden's terrible policies and the most dangerously liberal senator from san francisco, california, and voters deserve to hear from her. our campanhas a lot of money in the -- campaign has a lot of money in the bank and we'll spend every day

kamala is a second coming of obama, tim bolts dropped out of what david axelrod said.t's hyperbole, they said this. donald trump can and the end of the base station audience if he were to get policy, he could cut the honeymoon off. >> it's interesting, joe biden was up by six by this time last election in 2016, trump trailing again so he was up comfortably with joe biden and it takes a while for his equilibrium to settle up. press conference over an hour, because the trump use? you think he was ticked off about being in the circumstance? >> he might be he mentioned having to be biden and ended his political career at 49 years and having to be somebody else. he began on the right tone and talk about the economy and we could be on the edge of another 1929 depression and i think it is the right messaging but he needs to couple with that his prescriptive outcome or plan for the economy and i think that should be including the cost of childcare, paid family leave, something kamala will talk about so emphasize your record and what is your plan for the future? he has one, lay

david axelrod is trying to add caution, saying it is great and fun but, everything is going to be difficult from here on out. they know it but they are having a great time. they are happy. this would have been a quarter full if joe biden were the nominee. i don't know if it is joy as it is relief. >> relief for them. they are having a good time but that new server that just came out, 65% of the country believes we are on the wrong track. it's not really the real world. the real world is when you go into the streets and talk to people doing working day jobs. >> it is like the administration never existed. they are trying to pretend trump is the incumbent because that is who they want to blame for all the things. if you had to go back to work because gas prices are so high and grocery prices are so high, kamala harris is the person for you. the reason the retirees are going back to work is because of inflation. if the democrats would say inflation did happen on our watch and here is what we need to do about it. they don't do that and they pretend it is donald trump's fault. >> we talked about
