congresswoman debbie dingell, very grateful to have you on his holiday. thank you so much panels back, alex. ye reaction what she said was, i think there are two conversations happening here, which is one can joe biden still beat trump, but i think that is obscured what is potentially even a more important conversation, which is can he do the job he is running for? four-and-a-half years from now, is he mentally fit to actually do that job? and i think that's the question a lot of democrats are asking. it's like, well, it's not just about can he win, it's like what happens if he does win? a year from now, two years from now. and we'll he start missing stuff. will you have to step down and there's more to being president than not being donald trump all right unfortunately, megan, you have been in the hotseat. i'll show i'm gonna give you a break joey chestnut lance. thank you. i'm sorry that you are more part of the furniture. come back for veepstakes like i said, when your opponents like vallejo don't get in the way all right. >> i do want to leave you wit

but we have also in the same breath heard from some supporters of president biden, debbie dingell this morning acknowledging that this is a critical moment in it is biden himself that needs to step up here. here's what she had to say. i think that the one clear thing this week is that there's only one person that can show he is up to the job, has the stamina to do the job that he will do the job and that as you brian and he needs to get out there on a sustained basis. and do things spontaneously one interview is not going to reassure folks we got to be realistic many house democrats sharing that feeling to that they want to see him out there doing well and that's why a lot of congressional democrats that briana de are looking towards how tomorrow goes, how this interview on abc goes, how was campaign rallies in wisconsin and over the weekend go to see what kind biden shows up. >> and that there's something of an inflection point on the horizon when all the members return from their recess is and get back here in washington on monday and tuesday morning. it's certainly dealing with the

joining me now is debbie dingell of the state. happy fourth of july. those voters sound a lot different than colleagues on the hill. two house members have come out and told biden to step aside. there are reports, and i've heard this too of democrats hearing various letters asking the president to withdraw. what's your sense of how real those efforts are, and is it counter productive for democrats to be doing this? >> first of all, happy fourth of july, ali, and it's a good day to be having some of these discussions. i have just finished my fourth parade, and you know, i'm going to talk about that. look, the congress is a representative body, right? so members of congress represent the people that are out there. and i heard many people just like the people that you just showed that were interviewed in michigan, i know there are people that have other feelings, and they yell that out from the parade. i have colleagues who are concerned, and i have colleagues that are concerned the other way about change and the nominating process, and untested candidate

yes, he's width debbie dingell. we can see him walking out here now into this a high school gymnasium. motown is joe town. he certainly hopes that is the case but it is not the people in the audience there. he needs to convince it's his own fellow democrats. of course, as well as voters across michigan. and indeed that blue wall we can't say this enough. he cannot win reelection without winning michigan and pennsylvania, and wisconsin. but so striking how he's here again trying to make his case to michigan voters. there and very important, and i were i believe he's going to be introduced now. >> so as we watch that geoff, let me just ask you, i know you have some additional reporting about basically, i don't know why there was a meeting or conversation between nancy pelosi and barack obama about biden's status in the race. what have you learned? >> erin, we do know this week that nancy pelosi, the former house speaker and former president barack obama, had a conversation, at least one perhaps more about the state of

. >> joining us now is it debbie dingell. good to have you with us this afternoon. we are all watching history unfold here. president joe biden has just told the country that he will not stand for reelection. a number of huge events in terms of who this ticket will be. who was behind it? >> you know, i suspect it has not been one factor. i think we have seen three weeks that have been some of the most historical and longest that i've seen. some of those are what is making me very angry as democrats have had their circling firing squad. i want to thank president biden for his service as president. we have been up close for many years. i think private discussion should be private discussions. i think that it was probably many factors into this decision today. i respect him. he has announced his endorsement of vice president harris. i therefore have come out and endorsed her this afternoon. i was just listening. harold is right. we have delegates that would make the selection. she's got to go out and people have to support her. people will be for her. i think that she

congressman debbie dingell, as always, thank you very much. >> you're right about that, andrea. joining us now on capitol hill is nbc's scott wong. scott, good to have you. talk to us about nancy pelosi. >> hey, katy, a big endorsement for kamala harris here. the former speaker of the house, one of the most powerful democrats on capitol hill, the speaker emerita nancy pelosi throwing her full weight behind kamala harris saying that she has demonstrated strength and courage. she has fought for a woman's right to choose. that clearly is going to be a huge campaign issue for the democrats and kamala harris. also pointing out that kamala harris is on the cusp of history here as perhaps becoming the first female president elected in the united states. that is significant coming from moos, the first female speaker of the house, someone who was working behind the scenes speaking to a number of democrats, conversing with joe biden himself in trying to nudge joe biden towards the exits, making him very aware of what was at stake in this election. and sending warning signs that he could n

the campaign says that this, these moments and debbie dingell saying, that if he does warn unscripted moments, you can show that energy. i've been to his rallies, many of them, and yes, he does feed off the people, but it's still doesn't change the little clips that people see online of a president who is frankly ultimately land it wasn't like people weren't concerned about his age group polling has consistently shown for years that people pulled the public is very, very conservatives age, and now it's gotten, gotten higher. >> democrats were saying that that's what they wanted him to prove on the stage. it wasn't go talk about policy. it will show that you're up for the job. so that's also phase interior point. >> i'm sure other folks have heard two. is that when biden was meeting with these governors and good things, cone calls, he says he acknowledges this. he told he is what i was told about the governor meeting is that he was clear-eyed about what he had to do, that this was going to be hard, that he had to be out there more, that he had to do more impromptu things. you had to do

state of the union. >> might terrific panel is here and i'm going to start with congresswoman debbie dingell straight in from the great state of michigan what are you hearing from your constituents? what should he do? >> i'm hearing lots of things. so i think this is not as clear cut is anybody wants it to be i've heard many people expressed their concern. the word about democracy. i think that one of the things you have to really understand even my colleagues are worried about what's going to happen and what will happen to democracy but i'll tell you, i had people in parade shout at me, tell him to stay. we have his back union halls. why are people saying this? i really do think that as much as you're hearing a lot of different opinions from other people. that's what tad you have people saying it's time for him to step aside, as warm said, do i i have people feeling very strongly that way? there are a lot of very strong opinions out there what do hearing from? >> your fellow democrats and what do you think he should do well, he's made it clear you staying in this race and i think it's reall

a fight on his hands he was president biden stopped at a local restaurant with congresswoman debbie dingell speaking to voters there for about 15 minutes. >> he walked around the room, not using a teleprompter as he sought choice sure voters about his candidacy, even explicitly telling them that he promises he's ok. it comes at a time when biden's advisers have acknowledged the anxiety within the party party saying the president will continue to try to engage with lawmakers and voters all as they're trying to make their case that he is up for a second term. >> joe president joe biden on the move to michigan today, looking to get his candidacy back on track? there's more to do. i know i'm only 41 we kind of finish the job and i promise you i am i'm okay the president working behind the scenes to shore up support, scheduling, at least for meetings with key groups on capitol hill, including asian american and hispanic lawmakers the outreach coming after a private meeting between biden and house minority leader hakeem jeffries, who said he directly express the full breadth of insight, heartfelt

and that's what i want to do all right. >> congresswoman debbie dingell, we really appreciate it. thank you thank you and as the biden campaign tries to move on from the debate, and this particular moment in time, former president trump is challenging and to another debate what last night's rally revealed about trump's evolving strategy. >> we'll have details on that ahead. plus the future of nato and focus right here in washington dc, where president biden seeks to reassure world leaders the strength of his leadership and of the alliance we're live at the nato summit and you plan for the unexpected on big trips. but what about a few? mr. weeks in space with the starliner astronauts are saying about their delay back to earth so seen as host and shark week, short he's back who is the alpha male again? asu about to get the my chums short. mike john cena, all of this week at 8:00. >> discovery extreme on that, you know, if you or cash back and you could earn on everything which is one car chase freedom and limited, it's all your off the rocket or grabbed fracking your cash back in, c

here's congresswoman debbie dingell this morning i think that the one clear thing this week is that there's only one person that can show he is up to the job, has the stamina to do the job that he will do the job in that is joe biden and he needs to get out there on a sustained basis. >> and do things spontaneously. one interview is not going to reassure folks. we got to be realistic and a source on. capitol hill are also reflects that sentiment that a lot of house democrats are feeling. let's see how this interview goes. let's see how he does on the campaign trail and wisconsin and they're using the next few days to kind of make up their mind as source says that this is going to be an inflection point of sorts when the house democrats come back to washington after the holiday weekend, after all this plays out on the campaign trail red, and they returned to washington on monday all right. >> silence on friday. thanks so much, allison. >> okay. joining me now is democratic strategist julie region ski cnn senior political commentator and navarro and former congressman from illinois, joe walsh

. >> donna, i want to listen to what congressman debbie dingell had to say with our colleague, andrea mitchell. >> i want to see him talk to the american people, the working men and women of this country, and tell them why he can do the job, and what he's going to deliver, and that he has the stamina to do it and i got in trouble for saying one news interview is going to do it. it's not. >> your thoughts? >> i think i agree with debbie about that. the president cannot just do a one off. he has to really put himself out there. this should not be a problem for them if the president is saying he has the capacity to do the job and can, he can put himself out there. he's going to be on the campaign trail over the weekend. we will get to see that, and it is not just one interview, maybe several interviews, and a lot of different kinds of things over the next few weeks. there is not a lot of time between now and the democratic convention, so whatever is going to take place, it needs to take place now, and i think a lot of folks are looking to see -- not just at the polls, but they also want

debbie dingell had this to say. >> thursday night he blew it. it was not a good debate.took too long to make some of the phone calls you should have by thank he's in bubblewrap. i think he is starting to do what he has to do. one interview tomorrow is not going to fix this. but it's a really complicated time right now. >> so that's where democrats find themselves. what about republican members of congress? how are you using forward in the next week or so quit. >> the day after the debate occurred democrats were visibly concern but i think republicans realized we just need to continue to focus on messaging and showing the american people we have a solution to this problem and convicts probably will involve getting president sharply elected. many of us continue to legislate to do our jobs but again pushing for the release of those tapes. you will find speaker johnson is supporting the resolution i brought forward and again after mark has decided to vote with us it's likely we'll get those tapes sooner rather than later. and they might have a situation where congress and se

debbie dingell says one interview isn't going to fix this.campaign needs to listen to us, those on the ground, and rhode island senator whitehouse spoke to a cbs affiliate yesterday. >> your honest reaction to the debate. >> i think like a lot of people, i was horrified. i think people want to make sure that this is a campaign that's ready go and win. that the president and his team are being candid with us about his condition, that this was a real anomaly and not just the way he is these days. >> joining me now, we are pleased to have nancy pelosi join us. thank you very much, madam speaker, for being here today. >> always a pleasure to be with you, andrea. >> so i guess the first question, we understand from our reporting, four different sources, that top leaders on the hill have not yet had a call from the president. have you spoken to president biden since the debate? >> no, i haven't spoken to him since the debate. i have spoken to him regularly. every time he has been on the top of his game in terms of knowing the issues and what is at

now, before speaking at the rally biden stopped by a michigan restaurant, and congresswoman debbie dingell'se district where biden told patrons, quote, i promise you i'm okay. president biden arrived here after midnight in delaware what he will be spending the weekend before heading to texas the on monday. recall, neil, lbj shocked the nation when he announced in 1968 he'd be dropping out of the race, but president biden has slowed to stay in this one. thursday night biden was asked about his promise in that same high school gymnasium four years ago to be a transitional president. >> you referred to yourself as being a bridge candidate for a younger, fresher generation of democratic leaders, and i wanted to know what changed. >> what changed was the gravity of the situation i inherited in terms of the economy, our foreign policy and domestic division. >> reporter: while president biden is here at his beach house, his wife, the first lady, will be attending a rally in pittsburgh, and the vice president, kamala harris, will be attending rally in philadelphia. so busy day in the keystone state,

i will speak to congresswoman debbie dingell about her warning to the biden campaign. >>> justice delayed president trump's sentencing in the hush money case put off until mid september. that as the other three criminal cases against him face

is it another sign that they're catching up, that they're responding too late and as debbie dingell was me earlier, he's got to show consistently that he can be off the teleprompter and responding to questions and, you know, doing live moments, that he's up to it. >> right, right, and so i think the campaign staff has done what they can do to make room for him to perform, and now he needs to perform. and so the problem is that abc interview airs on friday and that will be eight days after the debate, and what i fear is, you know, say he does a great job on that -- in that interview. and people are left to wonder what was the one-off, the debate or the interview. there needs to be a lot more interviews, a lot more one-on-one interactions with reporters, possibly a press conference to prove he can continue to meet the bar. what i worry about is the amount of time that has gone by and the damage that has been done to people's confidence in him, right? so that is a tough thing. i do want to caution people. i really think everyone is moving way too fast to want to -- some sort of conclusion

reaction to his decision to exit the 2024 race and we'll speak live with democratic congresswoman debbie dingell on the president's passing of the torch welcome to the now way to network they switch to junipers, ai, native network now, everyone's still productive. >> they're operating at a higher gear. now their network is self-configuring self-protecting answer so there it team deals with up to 90% fewer network troubled ticket just the sound barrier that's the now way to network at work with real ai. putting you in the fast lane so tell me about your heart attack or heart attack. was scary never want to go through that again, but we could with heart disease, you never know we may changes green yeah, not a fad diet exercise, statins but our ldl see bad cholesterol. >> it was stuck, just couldn't lowered enough and i ldl see meant a real risk of another attack. >> so i said lead it's ask her doctor about were patho what can i say listen to your heart rather plus a statin dramatically lowers ldl see by 63% and significantly drops the risk of having now heart attack did not take her path if you ar

and it is not one-sided at all debbie dingell was on state of the union with made it. she comes from the critical battleground state of michigan. and she said she heard just as much support for joe biden pleading with her to tell him to stay in the race. as people saying please tell him to go. so it's not cut and dry in the least dr. larry sabotage joins us now from the university of virginia, he's the director for the center of politics and uva and also the editor of return to normalcy, the 2020 election that almost broke america. >> always good to see you, said, there's been the debate performance fallout, that discussion out the vc news interview, congress back to work monday. what do you think this week holds in terms of joe biden moving the needle i think this is the moment of decision, not just for president biden, but also for democratic leaders. >> with congress back in session they're all in one place or most of them were in one place. and they're going to be communicating a great deal. and already we've had some additional members of congress, all democrats,

and it is not one-sided at all debbie dingell was on state of the union with me this morning. she comes from the critical battleground state of michigan and she said she heard justice much support for joe biden pleading with her to tell him to stay in the race as people saying, please tell him to go so it's not cut and dry in the least i think that's really important context and we've certainly been playing some of the sounds from the grassroots voters as well on the ground. what are they thinking? and certainly, some of them said, look, i was concerned when i saw as debate performance, but i still want him to stay atop the ticket. and when the white house i think what you're probably hearing to dana is that when the members are back, when the leaders meet with their caucus is both missing it and house that is when we're going to get a much better sense of where where lawmakers are right now, we have 11 defections at last count, at least. but it's important to over the contexts, there are 213 democrats in the house, right? so we'll see what happens dana bash, thank you so much

stevens, and debbie dingell, also among those joining them. but it's also worth noting that one of the democrats who have called for president biden to step aside is hilary school ton of michigan suggesting some of the pressure he could face in this state for president biden's part, he really wants to try to turn the focus back to donald trump aides say that he's expected to really drill in on project 2025, that conservative blueprint that the campaign has tried to tie to donald trump, but also the president will have to try to ease some of the concerns within his own caucus and from voters following his debate performance from two weeks ago. now, biden's advisers are well aware of some of the acts within their party. they've heard and receive this feedback from democratic lawmakers on capitol hill the staff called last night, the campaign chair acknowledged the difficulty of the past few weeks. she told her staffers, according to a source familiar with the call, she's told her staffers that it's been a hard very bad, and bad ethene weeks, but

you also have congresswoman haley stevens and debbie dingell at this event with biden, but it is notablet at least one michigan democrat has called for president biden to step aside and this race that is congresswoman hillary sculpted signalling some of the pressure that he might be facing here in the state. now the biden campaign has argued in a memo just yesterday that they believe the so-called blue wall, michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania are the clearest path for president biden to get the 270 electoral votes in november. so it really speaks to how critical the state of michigan will be for president biden as he continues to try to make his case not just to american voters that he's out for a second term, but also is trying to prevent any further democratic defections coming from within his own party. >> all right. arlette sines in detroit. thanks for that. and while president biden continues to lose congressional democratic support, one of his closest allies in the house is still sticking with him should the conversation about the president getting out of this race, should that

earl blumenauer joined the slowly growing group of dissenters, also weighing in congresswoman debbie dingell from swing state, michigan. she offered this when asked about the president's chances in that state i do just want to ask you again if you think president biden is the strongest person at the top of the ticket to win michigan in the fall the candidate right now over on the senate side tonight, some breaking news. vermont senator peter welch became the first democratic senator to call on the president to step aside, center welsh saying the washington post quote, i understand why president biden wants to run. he saved us from donald trump wants and wants to do it again. but he needs to reassess whether he is the best candidate to do so in my view, he is not last night on cnn's the source. and are michael bennet of colorado did not go so far, however, he did say he doesn't think the person president can win donald trump is on track. >> i think to win the selection and maybe win it by a landslide and take with him the senate and the house. and so for me, this isn't a question about pollin

stevens, as well as congresswoman debbie dingell all as the campaign is trying to have this show of a force of support as there are some concerns in the democratic party about president biden continuing in this race. as you mentioned, the number of lawmakers calling for him to step aside has grown at one michigan house democrats, hillary, a school tin has called for the president to step aside as well, suggesting there could be so i'm additional pressure here in the state. now the biden campaign has argued as recently as yesterday that they really see the most direct path to biden's victory as being right through that blue wall states that include michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. that is why the president is returning here as he's looking to make his case to voters. it's also worth noting that the president will be speaking at the very same site where he spoke for years ago and offering that pledge to be a bridge to the next generation. that is something president biden was asked about explicitly in the press conference last night, and he said that what has changed in this momen

and there are still many democrats who support biden, including democratic congresswoman debbie dingell, who said today on cnn, that biden quote, has the stamina and can do the job. the white house also said today that the president is quote, absolutely not thinking about stepping down white house press secretary karine jean-pierre's said that president biden is quote, as sharp as ever, unquote as sharp as ever. she said she said that. but there is no doubt that conversations inon amongst members of the democratic party. top members about whether he is fit to serve another four years cnn's mj lee is at the white house, mj, you directly pressed the white house press secretary. this afternoon about the level of transparency they're having with americans yeah. >> jake, the white house just made clear for the second day in a row that they do not think if they should release more information about the president's health or his medical records. were using a lot of questions about transparency. take a listen to the white house has said no to releasing the results of that i said no to make a dr

registered republican voter and i looked at joe biden in that clip where he is standing next so debbie dingell and i saw joe biden for everything he's been for years. and that's who i'm proud to have as my president today that says something when you can look at your president, you can look at your leader and feel like those words resonate. that's not the joe biden i've seen for a couple of weeks now, obviously, everybody knows that. but that is the challenge here for the democrats. but i also think on the republican side, and i wonder what you think of this marc casting. joe biden as simply infirm just isn't enough. if i was truly behind the strategist's desk with trumpworld, which i'm not i would say we got to go beyond that because that's what they're relying on right now. and they think they're going to make a really solid vp pick those two things are not enough. the biden machine knows how to operate. it's going to be okay. but for how long is the question? >> well, i think they are addressing it. i mean, look, i agree i agree with you in this respect i mean, the biden infirmity or infirm

we will share more as we get it, but i do want viewers to take a listen to something debbie dingell, anti-member of the house, had to say this morning. >> i think this is not as clear- cut as anybody wants it to be. i've heard many people express their concern. i think democracy is one of those things that you have to really understand, even my colleagues are worried about what's going to happen and what will happen to democracy. but i will tell you, i have people in parades shouted me, tell him to stay! >> so that point that dingell makes there about democracy is an important one. many conversations that i've had with democratic lawmakers, certainly what i'm hearing right now from this virtual meeting is that democrats who favor biden, who endorsed him, to respect his record, are worried that they will look like hypocrites if they are holding and sticking with biden, the candidate that perhaps, in due time, the polls and voters will show and tell that he is not the strongest to be former president trump in november, given everything that we've seen from trump since he left the white

and that you heard debbie dingell as well in her interview with you underscoring she's supporting kamala harris, but that the democratic party shouldn't have a coronation i think that that's the critical piece of this to watch over the course of the next days as we decide are or learn whether there's anyone serious that's going to step up and try and challenge harris. is motion forward. >> well, phil mattingly, what does the vice president a need to do now to unify the democratic party behind her. >> well, one i think point out the last three weeks have been really terrible for the democratic party in terms of their ability to win in november. i think she has struck a balance and i think her statement demonstrated a recognition of the fact that you can't say everything is over with there needs to be an effort to his case. he was pointing out what she's been doing over the course of the last several hours to make the calls to get the commitments to actually go through the process but i also think there's a recognition of people around her, maybe not hermit like karen saying, we've got to

i want to bring in democratic congresswoman debbie dingell from the key battleground state of michigan, to join us right now. we're congresswoman thanks so much for joining us. i'm anxious to get your reaction to this decision that that we heard today from the president good evening. move off. >> you know, when i heard it, i cry because it's been a very intense three weeks since the bid his debate i know that this is a man who made it very, very, very the decision. >> kharkiv itself he's loved his poetry they had been in public service before decade and do humanness. we just can't forget the humanness of what this day is about. and i think he has done many good things will go down in history as one of the most successful president in fighting for working men women, and families during his presidency. and look, this has been a tough three weeks and it's a very difficult day today. >> are you surprised congresswoman that former president barak obama as a mother very prominent democrats are not yet publicly endorsing vice president kamala harris to be the next democratic president. eventu

biden is making sure that americans understand what's at stake so i will know the congresswoman debbie dingell told me last night that she would she does feel the campaign it needs to listen to her a little bit more needs to listen to lawmakers, to people in their individual states. look, there are concerns called bernstein's new reporting, which i've i'm sure you have seen marked incidents in the last six months of cognitive decline and physical infirmity, according to those close to the president, i know the campaign according to our reporting, is considering more unscripted events for the president potentially a big sit-down interview, potentially a press conference. there is a difference with those events. where does that planning stand? when will we see the president do that well, first of all, the president is speaking from the white house today about climate, a very important issue that he has been historic on when it comes to passing historic climate change legislation. >> you're going to but see him out on the campaign trail of course, in the coming days and the coming weeks, we're go

that's why my colleagues, congresswoman haley stevens, and led by congresswoman debbie dingell sent a letter to the national weather service seeking answers, asking them to provide insight as to why no tornado warning was issued to our residents. mr. speaker, we cannot normalize these severe weather patterns and the devastating impact they have on our families. it's clear these extreme weather events, including tornados and flooding in southeast michigan are becoming more frequent due to climate change. we need to understand the root cause of these extreme weather patterns and why i'm hoping again we can all work together to hold corporate polluters accountable and protect our planet from the impacts of fossil fuel energy for generations to come. i yield. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from tennessee, mr. rose, for five minutes. mr. rose: mr. speaker, as much as the white house would like to move on from the terrible debate performance we saw less than two weeks ago, it's still on the minds of many americans, including my own.

here's what congresswoman debbie dingell told me that i've got three death and reminded how many millions of people had voted to nominate joe biden. small group of people could not take away from the will of the people she take very complicated issue what do you say to that it is complicated and way and i do think that you are going i mean, we talked about whether you're going to see a consistent message from democrats i agree. >> i just don't think that that's going to happen here because you do have the factor of yes. i mean, joe biden does have three more than 3,900 for delegates you are getting closer to the convention as well. we talked a lot about the democrats that have come out and express concern are called for him to step aside, but also, you put that next to also the governors meeting that was at the white house and governors coming out and pledging their support for the president but, but you made an important point just now as well. they the playbook when faced with questions over joe biden's age and his ability to carry out the next four years has essentially been two things
