he is longtime member of the democratic national committee. proposed to the dnc chair what he says would be an open, transparent, and energizing process for the democratic national committee to choose its nominee if biden steps aside. jim zogby, this is a raging question everywhere. can you talk about what that process would be? what exactly would happen if he did it before the convention, what this process is -- during the convention or after? >> thank you. i have been pleased in a few days this has garnered so much support and discussion among democrats, including democrats on the national committee. my goal was to not allow this to be left to the base. joe biden steps down and lord knows what we do. i was trying to lay out a process that would create an organized and very democratic and transparent process to choose a new nominee. would basically compress the primary process into a month. there are 400 plus members of the democratic national committee. it would convene, nominations would be open, and we would get a requirement that anyone w

and it's strongly supported by the harris campaign and the democratic national committee. it further strengthens the reforms adopted by the democratic party at the 2016 elections. in 2020 the democratic national committee adopted a similar resolution and it passed overwhelmingly. both the biden and sanders campaigns supported that resolution at that time. the resolution guarantees that substantial steps are made to ensure the democratic presidential nominating process is more accessible, transparent, and inclusive. this makes our party stronger as we strive to build a massive grassroots campaign. these reforms help position our nominee joe biden to beat a donald trump in 2020, and we will provide us with a framework to do the same again in 2024. 2024. so let me share with you some of the highlights of this resolution. first of all, primary encouragement. the resolution stresses the importance of encouraging primaries in all states maximizing the number of people participating in those primaries. secondly, accessible improvements. absentee voting will be utilized in states w

many americans fear that the same democratic, national committee of leads are about to rig the nominating process. again, to get a monumentally on popular vice president, to step into president bite and shoes. i call on the democratic party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process instead of anointing. a candidate handpicked by d and c, a leads. the party should use neutral pulling to identify the candidates who can best be donald trump. that was of course r f k, alluding to the concerns about how the 2016 democratic primaries seem to be rig against bernie sanders and the overall lack of transparency and the direct accountability to the voters in the democratic party structure regarding the super delegates and other mechanisms that seem to enable the party leadership to over rule popular will at the upcoming convention. the majority of the delegates will be those who were elected because people expected them to cast their vote for joe by. and it will be those delegates that now get to decide who they will cast their vote for uh, in the upc

in washington, d.c., jim zogby is a longtime member of the democratic national committee and a former executive committee member from 2001 to 2017. earlier this month, he proposed to the dnc chair what he called an open, transparent, and energizing process for the dnc to choose its nominee if biden stepped aside. and joining us from atlanta, georgia, is latasha -- latosha brown, co-founder of black voters matter and a longtime community organizer and political strategist. we welcome you both back to democracy now! latosha brown, let's begin with you. your response to president biden dropping out of the presidential race and almost immediately endorsing kamala harris and what you think should happen next. >> i think he was courageous and had a lot of integrity in doing that. i think it has created a whole different kind of energy that has gone in the party. i think it was a really smart moved away i think you made the announcement and separated the two announcements. what josÉ going forward, this is a moment the party -- we have less than four months. we have a major threat to democrac

florida congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz was chair of the democratic national cmmittee from 2011 till 2016. of the democratic national committee a buddy of work i had for the democratic national committee between now and the convention, but first what do you make of the presidents decision today? thank you for havin: presidents decision today? thank you for having me- _ presidents decision today? thank you for having me- i— presidents decision today? thank you for having me. i have _ presidents decision today? thank you for having me. i have supported - presidents decision today? thank you for having me. i have supported joe l for having me. i have supported joe biden for president of the united states all the way back to the first presidential election i quest a vote in 1998, and thejoe biden i have come know over the many years did not surprise me today because he put country over party and over himself, and even though i know he was certain, as was i, that he could press forward and when the selection because of the stark contrast that his success in progress makes with the 34 his success in progress makes with the 3a count

biden is still not being released, as bloomberg reports; the democratic national committee may officiallyominate him as a presidential candidate on july 21. such a decision, as the agency notes, will put an end to internal party talk about replacing biden after unsuccessful debates. moreover, over 70% of americans. according to a cbs poll, they believe that the mental state of the owner of the white house does not allow him to fight for re-election. the usa even has a new selling biden sleeping joe doll. batteries are not included. in addition to the disastrous debates and rapidly falling ratings, biden has another reason for despair: the us supreme court's decision on trump. he was granted partial immunity from legal prosecution. according to the resolution , the ex-president is not liable for the action. committed by him in an official capacity, now the heads of the united states can freely ignore the law, complained biden, whose son hunter, by the way, can remain free only if he the father will retain the presidential position. in lithuania, construction of a defense plant will begin w

speak to a leading immigrant rights activist here in milwaukee and look at how at the democratic national committee is pushing for joe biden to be confirmed before next month's democratic national convention in chicago despite growing calls for him to step aside. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now! democracynow.org. this is war peace and the presidency: breaking with convention. i'm amy goodman. in gaza, israeli forces have killed at least 42 people in air strikes on a un-run school in nuseirat, and on a so-called "safe area" in al-mawasi near khan younis. the nuseirat attack, which killed at least 23 palestinians, is at least the eighth time israel bombed an unrwa school in the past 10 days. this is a survivor of an israeli airstrike. >> this is a house full of civilians. we were asleep with our children and our the ones. we were safe and sleeping. at 2:20 a.m. we were shocked to feel a rocket follow the house. what is the sin we have committed for an f-16 to drop a bomb on a residential house that has been destroyed in this way? amy: unrwa, the un relief and works agency for p

i am joined now by doug thornell who served as a democratic national committee and democratic nationalcommittee amongst a host of other jobs. he now runs a political consulting firm so it is fair to say that you are a well-connected democrat, welcome to the context. what are people saying to you behind closed doors, away from the microphone, is the mood amongst democrats that you are speaking to that is time for him to go? great to be with you. actually, i think the mood is that people want to get back to the core issue of this race and that is the contrast with donald trump and the contrast and where we're going to go as a country. do we want and impeached convicted felon president who wants us to go backwards in terms of medical care and social security, on the other hand you have a president who has a really good record of the last three and a half years getting the us through the pandemic, held with us jobs and someone who is away shooting straight. i think there is frustration that we can't get past that call contrast in the campaign. i think the president has made it clear he is

the democratic national committee will hold its next rules meeting to open a framework and selecting a new nominee. no other democrat has announced their plans to run for the nomination. many thought governor gavin newsom could throw his hat in the ring, but earlier today, tweeting his support for his fellow californian writing, quote, tough, fearless, tenacious, with our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is better to prosecute the case against donald trump's dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than america's vice president, kamala harris. perhaps most notably, nancy pelosi of san francisco has not offered her endorsement for harris in a recent meeting with other california democrats, the former house speaker stressed the need for an open nomination process. we'll have more on pelosi's impact on today's decision coming up in our next half hour tonight. we're also seeing some of the other top rumored democratic nominees instead choose to back harris as the pick for president. here are some of the possible running mates. if harris were to recei

the democratic national committee is now planning to hold a virtual roll call vote to lock in harris as the party's nominee before the democratic national convention even begins. we will get the latest and speak to a former harris campaign worker who resigned from the biden administration over israel's war on gaza. plus, we go to israel where a group of public health professors are calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent a polio outbreak after the highly infectious virus was detected in sewage in gaza. then to bangladesh. over 170 people have been killed during mass student protests. the government has arrested over 2500 protesters in a sweeping crackdown. >> this illegal government is trying to uproot students. every moment, injured students are coming into the hospital. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org. war, peace and the presidency. i'm amy goodman. kamala harris appears on track -- to win the nomination with no obvious challenger. on monday, harris rallied campaign staff and supporters. she defended the biden administration's acc

i forget who talking about the fact that the democratic national committee would be speaking to the buy in company, is this the next step that we should not be focusing on? yeah, exactly that. i mean, this is all despite the fact that we heard as early as sunday, that there would be potentially a announcement from joe 5 and that he would be stepping aside from the top of the democratic tickets. the party is still in a bit of chaos right now is some of the side next steps. and so that's what we understand is happening right now. there is a call that is taking place between the democratic national committee and the 5 in harris campaign about next steps. right now there's a bit of a divide in the party about who should be at the top of the ticket. and there's also a bit of a discussion to take place on how that process should play out. and it's up to the party leaders in the democratic party to figure out a mechanism for doing just that. now, up until about 24 hours ago, we were still working with the assumption that the democratic national convention in august and starts august 19th. that

a democratic strategist, the former comes director for the democratic national committee. thank you john for talking to us and to be you know, in 9 days the sporting weld will gather in paris for this year's big games, but they're all concerns. the cities are the 2nd one, the cleaning of the athletes to compete in the math and down go, swam in the waterway to prove its clean out. just bear with us a bucket reports from the french capital making a splash and fulfilling a promise. powers may need go taking the plunge in the river sin to prove its clean and ready for the olympic games in from the injury in a low it's really not. and the reason i thought it was, it was, if i originally people in the area along side, the man was the heads of the power skins organizing committee. 3 time olympic gold medal. when a canoe is tonia stone gay, what a great symbol to make sure that 10 days before the games it's a, it's ready. so it can be a choice would be the same as site to be the style of the powers games. the opening ceremony will be held on the river and athletes will swim in. it

we're getting some newlines coming in a short back that the democratic national committee chairman 5aidhe democrats will deliver a nominee by the seventh of august, as early as next week's topic in the last 24 hours, how have things started looking for kamala harris? , they have been looking really fantastic for kamala harris over the last 24 hours. i would say this is a complete 180 from where democrats were last week. last week we were talking about how the republican party gop convention in milwaukee, wisconsin were so unified and wi5con5in were so unified and jubilant compared to democrats, who are having a lot of infighting in disarray, disagreement over who would lead their party going forward. however, we know that now kamala harris has takenjoe biden'5 stop dominic spot at the top of the ticket, democrats are coalescing behind her. ,, . , democrats are coalescing behind her. ,, ., , ., , democrats are coalescing behind her. ,, .,, ., j~:: her. she has raised over 80 when million _ her. she has raised over 80 when million dollars - her. she has raised over 80 when million dollars

they work with the democratic national committee.ng internally, uh, shows biden losing two or three points in all of the critical battleground states. and that's what's most important. if the biden campaign starts to see slippage in places like pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, arizona, uh, they're going to start to worry. and then the other two things that are related to that are democratic panic in congress, are members of congress in his own party. are more than just two going to come out and say, "biden should not be our nominee" if they see more, uh, high quality polling come out over the next few days? and then there's another big test, the last big hurdle, i think, for biden over the next week. he has a big sit down interview on friday here with abc news and george stephanopoulos, their senior political anchor. that's going to be a very tough interview for biden. and he's had two or three public appearances here since the debate. they've been fine. um, but, you know, he doesn't look, uh, you know, any better than he did neces

this massive hall of money and i'm following the money, between campaign, democratic national committeeundraising committee, that 24-hour record is on kamala harris. >> todd: i guess we know why disney has gone woke, if disney is writing checks to the woke kamala harris. always a pleasure, have fun. bring in trump campaign senior advisor danielle alvarez. the spigget has been turned on. over the last 36 hours, the kamala honeymoon period is well underway. how does trump campaign combat that? what policy positions of kamala harris do you want to point out tos have surrogates when they go on tv attack? >> well, let's be candid, kamala harris owns the same harris-biden record of last 3-1/2 years, record inflation, she was tie-breaking vote on the spending bill that trigger the us into this inflation crisis. remember she is the original border czar and she has so many clips where she's just laughing at the notion she had never been to the border or addressed the issue she was tasked with by joe biden and this administration. she's a absolute failure, worse than just harris-biden ticket, she

i you know, i blame the democratic national committee just as much as i blame , you know, the biden asu know, the biden administration for not stepping up . up. >> and, you know, the gaffes keep coming, don't they? i mean, today, yet another extraordinary gaffe where he simply couldn't remember the name of his defence chief. let's just watch joe biden in action earlier on today. >> and so it's all about it's all about treating people with dignity. and it's about making sure that, i mean, for example, look at the heat i'm getting because i, i named a, the secretary of defence, the black man i named ketanji brown. >> i mean, because of the people i've named. >> yeah. i mean, you know, the black guy, it's endless. it's embarrassing. not just for the democrats. it's embarrassing for america on the world stage. so i'm going to run on the assumption that he's gone. does it then have to be kamala harris, or what's the procedure going to be as the democrats run up to their convention? >> you know, it's there are rules that the democratic national committee is supposed to follow. >> they don't

. >> the democratic national committee plans to share the process to pick a new nominee in the next few days. now, many democrats now asking themselves whether president biden's voters will now switch to supporting kamala harris. ktvu is amanda quintana here in the studio with the answer from some bay area voters. good morning amanda. >> good morning. well, most of the voters that we spoke to say they will support harris, but they want to know more about her. they also think she has a work cut out for her, connecting with voters so close to the election, especially young voters. some are worried about her likability in other parts of the country. of course, harris is from the bay area. so many people here support her already. later this morning, city leaders will rally on the steps of san francisco city hall to quote, stand proudly behind harris, including mayor london breed and city attorney david chu. but local voters, although they are behind her, have a few concerns. >> i would have voted for, you know, a stick if it were running against trump. so i'll vote for whoever. if it was go

but biden and his acolytes at the democratic national committee are ignoring all of these calls and all of the data proceeding. full steam ahead, presumably with the controversial plan to virtually nominate joe biden before the democratic convention. next month. that virtual roll call could start as soon as august 1st, despite protests from democratic members of congress, we do not know which faction of these democrats will win. this struggle because more polls and more problems have just entered the chat. a 65% majority of democrats now say that biden should withdraw from the race according to a brand new ap poll. and i was able to get my hands on polling from the firm bluelabs, funded by some democratic donors pulling the chose post-debate president biden is losing ground significantly to donald trump. in 14 key battlegrounds throughout the country, including the five states that biden flipped against trump in 2020. those are, of course, arizona and georgia, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. but in addition, mr. biden is also quite vulnerable post-debate in colorado and minnesota

president joe biden unexpectedly joined the call zoom call with campaign and democratic national committeeinst the background of the message. of biden privately admitting to allies that his candidacy hangs in the balance, the president has said he's in the race, let me say it as clearly as i can, as simply as bluntly as i can, i'm running, no one is kicking me out, i'm not leaving, i'm participating in this race to the end, and we we're going to win,” biden said by phone. as for trump, donald increased his lead over biden after the debate. now the difference between the candidates is 6% (49x43), including the democrats. a new poll from open laps shows biden will lose the election. all key states in the elections will be taken by the republican party and its candidate. trump, at the same time, mockingly stated that biden should not leave the campaign. well today. this video appeared on the internet, where donald the next day, after the debate, in in a great mood, sitting in a golf cart, he literally destroys joe biden, the president of the united states, trump calls him an old and feeble pi

in turn, relies on advanced technologies and behavior analysis. 2016, right after the democratic national committee to fight russian spies. today, the head of the company hastened to make a statement: the failure was not intentional. this is not a cyber attack, the problem has been identified, contained, and resolved. however, its consequences still continue to be recorded all over the world, on large trading platforms in europe, in small pharmacies in japan, that is, wherever microsoft products and crowd security systems are used. russia was not affected by this global failure, planes are flying, our banking system with our software simply did not notice the world’s problems. dmitry malyshev, nikita pakhmutov, alexey klyuchnikov, channel one. donald trump made his first speech after the assassination attempt and announced that he would run for president of the united states. a triumphant performance not without theatrical twists at the republican national convention in meluki. journalist tucker carloson declares trump from the stage as the national leader for the survivor of the billion. to the pi

the democratic national committee, our party leadership, and i have decided to move forward with the se contenders will begin to compete between. ourselves, starting now until the democratic national convention in august. my vice president, kamala harris, graciously and courageously agreed to participate in this, even though democratic party voters are no longer able to participate in the primary, their delegates will make the final decision at the democratic party convention. the article is called to pay attention to the fact that if biden had uttered these words, well, that is, they were literally thrown out. are you sure you can handle it? look at rtr. i am asking for official permission to court you. what? so why not allow it? look after me, did you just get laid? so what, how is she doing? oh, i don’t know, what can i say, now that’s it, that’s it, i’ll have to get married. everyone can see that we have a small town. everyone knows about each other, they hear everything, they found the killer, just don’t talk to anyone, okay, we agreed, he’ll tell everyone everything, but in a bi

what matters is whether the democratic national committee, the party ultimately has a procedure in place and has a strategy in place, moving into the hot phase of the selection, the pundits. and of course the poles will have, you know, that he is not the right man to continue in this role. and i think the tricky thing about the poles which you can discount a lot of times in the american context is that you've take, if you take pulling over the years now you do see that a moment of trailing at this moment in a campaign spelled bad news for whoever is the candidate trailing, and that is clearly the case for joe by now. not just this moment in time, but over time. so the democratic party needs to think about it's party discipline because as we, for just now in your piece, party, political heads are still peeling off and speaking out against the president, while the president is trying to shore up his offline. and that seems to signal weakness within the democratic party infrastructure. i don't think that fund manually helps the democrats now as they head into the weeks ahead of. well, well

the reason that next 48 hours are critical of because the dnc's rules committee, the democratic national committee's rule rules committee meets on wednesday. they were supposed to meet on friday. establish the rules for that virtual straw poll and what that looks like essentially that will be the process that will get the delegates rolling. there's really no contender who can pushing get what institutional advantages kamala harris gets money, lee donors, ali connections, but also of the party faithful. and that's one reason you see barack obama talking about an open convention. it will be a closet. i open convention, but she will be the de facto nominee in the next 2 weeks. and then by the time democrats actually convene in chicago, this is per race to lose at this point in the next 40 hours and this week as well. >> i notice not all democrats are jumping in right david nancy pelosi, chuck schumer apparently don't want what they refer to as a coronation. they'd like this to be more competitive. but is that going make any difference now? well, it's a process. and what you're what you're not seeing th

who you think might try to run well, you know, i also said that our rules committee, the democratic national committee rules committee, put together a process and there must have had something like this in mind because the process that spills out, what you do if you wish to run for the presidency. >> and in this instance, all you need to do is gather through henna signatures. no more than 50. from a single state. you can have your name placed in nomination go to work and do that within the next few hours next few days. >> and you may have your name, please into nomination and then start working the phones like everybody else. >> now, that is the process that's in place. so when i hear people calling for a new truncated process the druze committee put that in place from the beginning people were just pause a little bit took a look at the rules. it's now led out for antibodies to see an antibiotic and participant well, as you mentioned, sources are telling my colleague jake tapper that west virginia senator who is now an independent joe manchin is considering re registering as a democrat running for pre

said, we know that we have about 100 days left, we have 4 weeks before the meeting the democratic national committee because you can't take $300 million from biden and harris' account and pass it on to the candidate. from 2020 to 2024 something has changed. obviously there is no more covid. the states adopted laws, he was just in such a broken state. to answer your question about the biden presidency, it doesn't make any sense. if you're not thinking clearly enough, what he didn't say, no one said it, because, because it's all about questions, that's why he begins his address without explaining the reasons for refusing to participate in the elections. it will be better for... the party of the country, remember, and he mentioned the first party, or someone for him, it will be better for the party of the country if i retreat, retreat, if you are fighting for yours, if you can refuse him for re-election, you can deny him the presidency now, why don't they just remove him or kill him, they are definitely capable of it, i think that's true, honestly, it will be good, you say, the democratic party, its le

of july there are only 95 million dollars left, and if we take away the budgets of the democratic national committeef money during this time, but to no avail, the ratings there for both biden and harris are not particularly good have grown up, maybe they are political ukrainians? but it’s passing through, and have you noticed how ukraine is generally quiet now, they just don’t understand what to do, guys, what’s wrong with their faces, well, yes, something certainly happened to their faces, especially with ukrainian lobbyists, yes, who actively worked with biden’s supporters, well, returning to this story, that is, these 3 weeks after the debate, i think that they also passed against the backdrop of simply the maximum burning of budgets, so we don’t know how much money they have left, but i fully admit that very little, by the way, this could also... considering that he financed all these pro-palestinian protests against the biden administration, this was also, of course, a very good story at that time for the republicans, considering that it was like strengthened the split between the democrats, bu

the dnc rules committee, the democratic national committee's rules committee, will have to meet probably on wednesday. they were going to meet on friday. they'll establish what's going to happen at that virtual roll call count that greg talked about on the lead in. and the democrats chances improve. well, they might have improved in some swing states with some emerging voter groups. donald trump's going to get a little bump from the convention and from the attempted assassination. democrats are going to get a little bump out of their convention in 26 days. what that means is we're going to have a tight race as we head to labor day and moving forward and it'll be exciting to watch. >> and you mentioned swing states. david, i wanted to ask you and we have some of the names already on the screen. there's been talk about shifting to a potential vice presidential pick for harris. some of the names mentioned from swing states have also been brought up as potential challengers for the nomination. we have senator mark kelly of arizona, governor andy beshear of kentucky, roy cooper of north carol

officially , the leadership of the democratic national committee is for him.en will be nominated at the upcoming congress. and the candidate himself. how not to show off, he is offended by his party comrades who openly discredit him. sick of covid and abandoned by his allies, president biden is increasingly outraged by what he sees as an orchestrated campaign to force him out of the race. he is bitter about the attitude of those he considered close allies, including barack obama. one of the richest people of the usa elon musk, looking at the election campaign, proposed introducing an age limit for candidates in the future. after all, trump. in china, 11 people were killed after a partial collapse of a road bridge was blamed on heavy rains and flooding in the northwestern province of henxi. the rescue operation is still ongoing, by this hour five vehicles that fell into the river have been recovered, another 20 vehicles, about 30 people are still missing. well, now watch a special report by elzaveta khramtsova: durable lightness. how composite materials for avi

the democratic national committee held a conference call over the weekend trying to paint a positive picture going forward. but many democrats are simply uneasy about president biden's ability to campaign, more so than his actual decisionmaking. president biden departed south jersey after a fundraiser this weekend on his way to camp david. cbs news has learned he's had conversations there with family members who are urging him to stay in the race and keep fighting after his dismal debate performance. some democrats are also publicly voicing their support. >> and joe biden is not going to take himself out of this race, nor should he. >> reporter: a new cbs news poll conducted after the debate shows 54% of democratic registered voters say president biden should be running for re-election. and 46% say he should not. a 10% shift compared to february. of those who think he should not, the top reasons are age and decisions he might make in office. some republicans say the debate is proof the president is experiencing cognitive decline. >> if you want to look at past performance to judge wha

reelection, and campaigned across the country and earned the support of democratic voters across the nation and the democratic national committee along with our delegates at the convention are the ones that ultimately confirm that domination, vice president biden was the presumptive nominee. he will presumably be releasing his delegates in support of harris, and i think the overwhelming majority will cast their votes for her, like i plan to if i have an opportunity on the second ballot, and i have endorsed her wholeheartedly. the universe, reverend now, it put me in the middle, right after the announcement with 200+ caribbean american women in my district, who, i tossed the remarks out that i was supposed to give them, and we rallied together and out of respect for our president and support of the opportunity to select not only the first woman, but the first african american woman and the first caribbean american woman as president of the united states, who will carry the torch forward and ensure that we dawn't have a 34 count adjudicated rapist is committed to being an authoritarian, overturning our democracy, firing and seeki

expressed on saturday at a closed meeting of top democrats led by the chairman of the us democratic national committeehe head of biden's campaign. members of the organization were asked to, quote, ignore. his working day, at best, i quote, is from 10 am to 4 pm. biden is actively involved and therefore many of his public events are in front of cameras pass already during these hours, outside this interval or during foreign trips, biden is more prone to fatigue slips, biden aides told the publication, and guess what? the cnn debate was at 9:00 pm, which is very harsh on biden. don't you think any democrats will oppose biden? no, if they are smart enough, they will not perform. i think they realize that no matter how much they wanted a new candidate, they had a chance, they missed it. they need to wait it out, hope that they will second debate, hope he does much better, hope trump creates an even bigger problem for himself. in private after this debate, there is a general awareness that the president performed poorly, everything went poorly, it was a bad evening. rogers says calls for biden to resign wi

officially, and the leadership of the democratic national committee for him, they said that biden willhe upcoming congress; the candidate himself, no matter how pretentious, is offended by his party comrades who are openly dumping him. sick of covid and abandoned by his allies, president biden is increasingly outraged by what he sees as an orchestrated campaign to force him out of the race. he's sad. times to explore and inspect the area where the assassination attempt took place. by the way, the secret service guarding trump from the air did not have any visibility. they didn't use drones or helicopters. why, the director of the service will answer before congress, she will be questioned on capitol hill on monday. denis davidov ionna lvova, news. well, continuing the election theme in the united states, donald trump appeared in public for the first time after the assassination without a white bandage on his right ear. rana is now wearing just a flesh-colored plaster, so the ex-president came out stage at a rally in michigan. all last week, trump wore the now famous bandage covering a

we would love to take your thoughts, but the democratic national committee has basically given a deadline now in order to make sure that these two names could be on the state palace because their deadline is coming up shortly after that. again you're not going to give me names. i'm sure you've thought about the quality of the person you would like to see your pick is a partner, as a running mate. talk to us a little about that. >> first and foremost i think loyalty. one of the things i grew up at the knee of [ inaudible ] and one of the things i've learned in politics is you have to be loyal. joe biden's vice president was loyal to barack obama and she has been loyal to joe biden so if she is the nominee, the thing i would suggest to her is get somebody that is loyal, who shares a similar vision for where they want to take the nation, and what they want to do for the party because i think that is also an important thing to understand that yes, you will be the number one and number two in the nation but you're also the number one and two in the party and there is an obligation there to gro
