leaning democrat. so, arizona, pennsylvania, wisconsin, it looks like democrats have leads in those races but they will be high dollar affairs. there is virtually no republican vulnerable in senate seats. the closest thing would be ted cruz in texas, but that's a real stretch. the question in the senate is not so much do republicans control it, it's what is the republican margin at the end of the day? if republicans take back the white house, i would argue that 51-49 is not a governing majority for donald trump. keep in mind, there will still be thorns in his side like susan collins and maine, lisa murkowski in alaska and bill cassidy in louisiana or john curtis from utah, they could be moderate counterweights to the white house in that scenario. if republicans get to 53 or 54 seats, that's a different calculus. and then trump has much more leeway to enact an agenda make people uncomfortable. host: this is kevin, line for democrats. guest: thank you for taking my call -- caller: thank you for taking my

those are things that unite democrats, and the president needs to unite democrats right now because democrats are obviously very divided over these questions. we have coming into today, obviously, house democrats and senate democrats are going to gather for the first time in large closed door settings for the first time since that debate debacle that the president had. so it's going to be a fascinating day and week shaping up. and, you know, democrats are really going to be looking to the nato summit for some -- for some cues from the president and for some reassurances. host: when those conversations take place amongst those democrats, what's the control factor to make sure anything that is said within those circles doesn't come out to members of the press like you? guest: they can try but things come out. they're meeting offcampus. they're at the d.n.c. building and not letting members bring in their phones. and senate democrats are going to be meeting for their weekly caucus lunch around the day today. so we should get some -- some -- maybe some clarity, maybe some sense of, you know, wher

to a democratic process. we have to have a transparent process for how we pick our new nominee now, and to be clear, president biden was never the nominee, so he has stepped aside before he became the nominee, but we have to have a transparent process by which we reach the nominee and to have a transparent nomination process. what does this all mean for former president donald trump and jd vance, given they won't have formal names to run against for another month? you saw the unified republican party coming _ you saw the unified republican party coming out _ you saw the unified republican party coming out of milwaukee a few days a-o. coming out of milwaukee a few days ago they— coming out of milwaukee a few days ago. they will be ready to take on any democrat. the only thing transparent about what has taken place _ transparent about what has taken place today was, democratic power brokers _ place today was, democratic power brokers. former president 0bama to speak— brokers. former president 0bama to speak for

democrats have 14 million democrats decided he is the nominee. those 14 million democrats didn't see president biden on that debate stage. they never got a chance to see a biden debate in a primary and they just saw the debate for that -- for -- against former president trump and obviously have had the fallout since. >> bill: speaking of the former president. he was on with sean last night on the phone. he thinks joe biden is going to be the guy as of today. watch. >> they cover for him and they still are sort of covering. now it is getting difficult to do that. looks like he may very well stay in. >> bill: looks like he may very well stay in. if you watch the full on offensive from yesterday, those were the signals that biden and the white house were giving. every person they contacted and the letter that went to congressional democrats, nancy pelosi, will she say something? hang on. i take it that's a no. continue, bret. >> bret: well, i just think in the words of godfather, they are going to the mattresses. this is their time to fight for stay

the democrats -- it was a clichÉ. democrats were the working-class party.look at the way parties are evolving in terms of their coalition, it is clearly neither one of those. democrats are no longer the working-class party, and certainly republicans, it is silly to think of them as the country club party. chris: voter propensity is a problem for republicans, because republicans used to have this advantage -- the rule is basically more educated, more affluent people voted at a higher propensity. and when the republican coalition rested in the suburbs and more affluent people in their old coalition, they punched above their weight, and it was harder for democrat was t folks out. turnout was a problem. how do republicans address the numeral?? sara: there is some of that. here are still going to the shift so you end up with suburban voters being a huge swing bloc, suburban voters because they are college educated, it means they are shifting to the left, but they are still pretty conservative on a lot of economic issues and they are moving to the right. turnout

the leak gave democrats the cover to host a democrat coup.p out. castro who worked with the obama administration posted today, president biden is not the campaigner he was in 2020 and is very likely to lose to trump. president biden should fulfill his promise to be a bridge to the next generation of leadership and allow a stronger democratic candidate. time is running out. very cute, he's putting a spin on the bottom line, but it is the bottom line. joe has to go. democrats need a young inspiring candidate who will unite the base and there's only one person who seems to be able to do that. michelle obama. she's the only democrat who's pulling ahead of trump in the polls. and it does look to be in that hypothetical matchup up by 11. could we see a full out obama coup? not a chance. but look at how beloved the obama's still are. when they speak, even behind closed doors, democrats listen. the message right now is loud and clear. joe has to go. out,.com founder joins me now. on vacation for the 4th of july, clay travis putting in the work. appre

that's ri . ht, democratic party nominee. that's riaht, she democratic party nominee.ty nominee. that's right, she does not _ democratic party nominee. that's right, she does not automatically| right, she does not automatically get the nomination, and she is aware of that, she says she was to earn the nomination. i am outside the white house. always busy on the weekend but even more so than usual, there are crowds outside the white house stop lots of media as well capturing this seismic moment in american political history. joe biden himself is not in the white house. he is expected to be here later in the week. he is in delaware where he is isolated and recovering from covid, and said he would address the nation at some point in the next few days, we presume that address will come from the oval office, and he will be endorsing kamala harris, he has done so in the statements he released earlier. what is notable is that president obama, former president obama, who president biden served faithfully for eight years, paid tribute to mr biden but did not endorse kamala harr

the democrats can have. and joe biden, i mean, obama is the only one smart enough to take a deep breath and say, pause for a second. and isn't it true she could flame out in the next couple of weeks and then she'll be off the she'll be off the contenders list. i mean, if they're willing to do what they did to a guy in washington for a, for a half a century, the what the humiliation they rained down upon him today. you don't think if she flubs it up in the next couple of weeks, which is entirely possible, that should be off. and they'd be on to the next person. not only is there a chance of her doing it, that is the history of kamala harris, a flaming out she she had 20,000 people show up to her announcement for president. probably one of the best rollouts. and she didn't even make it to one primary. no one has ever voted for her for president, and now they're going to make her the nominee. that's unheard of. this is a party that does not care about the rule of law, does not care about democracy and all. they

so what is the democratic strategy. let's bring in kriti gupta.pening trade markets in terms of how we adjust to this and the expectations around what this means for the democratic party and the election in november. will start their terms of the potential response from the democrats and what it means about a potential vp pick as well for, harris if she does become the nominee. weiss if she becomes the nominee, the clock is ticking. not just for the democratic national convention because of the virtual rollcall that is expected to come in the first week of august but the first reason this is so crucial is because they're coming up against an ohio ballot deadline and that is what the potential vice president that casted now meet and that is why the clock is ticking. just appear is one of the candidates. if you look at some of the polling, this is what -- with the democratic strategy really matters. we are also seeing it in likes of pennsylvania where josh shapiro is the governor. trump has the biggest lead among all the swing states there. the demo

how do democrats get back on the front - democrats get back on the front foot?rump's rivals who stood against him for the nomination, saying, we are backing him. they look like a party that is united. that's not how the democrats will look to a lot of people. not right now, of course, because it is an open convention right now, kamala harris has to earn the party's support, but now she hasjoe biden backing her, and there will be no questions about her mental competency, about her age. she is turning 60 soon, around age 60, and so she is much younger, almost two decades younger than donald trump, and so she can throw the age argument back on him and say he is the one who is too old, too mentally incompetent, and so i think that she is going to be able to get more black voters to the polls for the democrats, asian americans, which is indian—american as well, and i think she has a much better chance of beating donald trump thanjoe biden, because right now, she can turn the focus back to trump and what he would do in office, and ifjoe biden stayed in the race, it wo

democrats are nervous about this. nobody can give you a guarantee, but we need to stand behind our man and focus on trump. he is the one with all the bad things he wants to do for this country, so let's get behind. get behind biden. host: what about the poll numbers? caller: i never went for poll numbers. we are 116 days away. polls change from day-to-day. we know what biden can do. he has done it. he has been the best president we have had in my lifetime, so let's go with him. you cannot throw him away for 90 minutes. and i bet trump was yelling like crazy during that debate, throwing him off his game. so give him a little grace. host: what about fundraising? if big donors like george clooney decide they are not going to donate a president biden's reelection bid. >> caller: then's they will guarantee trump's -- then they will guarantee trump's win. host: and you are an independent? caller: i am. host: president biden will hold a solo news conference today at 5:30 p.m. eastern. you can that live on our free video mobi

if you are a democrat. good news, it's late in the game but there is still at least theoretically something that can be done about it. whether or not there is practically is another question altogether. host: conley spring, john, independent mind, good morning. caller: it's amazing how these democrats is calling in and is putting biden before the country, you know? trump done some very, very good things and they hate something good. i don't understand that. you know how it is. they don't care about what the country is. they just care about joe biden. the people then running south carolina, they go down there and threw them trial down there with our republican judges, lawyers and juries. what they think he end up coming out being? that's what trump is in new york . he's going to be that case, no doubt about it. they ought to put country before the man. i don't care if it's who it was. they got to read their bible. people, good, that's what they doing. thank you. host: any thoughts on that, sean trende? guest

it's a big week for house democrats. they have to figure out what they're going to do about joe biden, who recently proved to the world what republicans have been saying now for years. he is not fit to be president. and the have to twist themselves into a pretzel to explain why they are advocating for letting illegal immigrants vote in our elections. let us be clear. only american citizens should have a say in america's elections. it is sad that today's democrat party has gone so far that this needs to be clarified. no amount of spin changes the fact that chip roy save act is simple, it protects american citizens right to vote our requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls. safeguarding our elections should not be a partisan issue. but the democrats are hell-bent on making it one, because it is part of the grand design. first, joe biden and the democrats allowed over 10 million illegal immigrants to invade our country. now they are opposing efforts to prevent the

let's talk about the democrats, because okay, look, let's talk about the democrat democrats. i mean, because this republican convention, many people say, really put the republicans unity on display. and if you contrast that with what's happening to the divisions that are really rolling, the democrats, where do you think things sit right now with the democratic democratic party? i mean, this is an incredibly dramatic moment. is it not? yes, absolutely is. and i will shoot for myself in all my democratic friends and allies . this has been got friendship ever since the debate and you know, one day it's like, oh my god joe is going to go. and then i know he's gonna hang on and we're gonna have to deal with this and it's been back and forth and back and forth. where we seem to be right now. the latest reports are showing that really there are a lot of forces slowly, sometimes to publicly for my taste. it's slightly humiliating to see all these people probably call for him to, to stand down. but it does, it is looking like joe biden is less likely to be the different kind of comedy

but the democrats that i talked to superdelegates, democratic national committee members say there are two scenarios. it's all up to him. he has to decide for himself if he's going to step aside, but if he doesn't quickly, maybe there could be a kind of mini primary with five or six or seven probably a lot of them would be governors running he would release his delegates or he decides to just turn it over to harris. and that's that's plan b. but so far, he seems to really be trying to sticker as the nominee, but there's things that i'm watching. four, number one, do more elected democratic officials come out and say he should step aside. we've only had a very few so far then what are the poll show? there's a lot of times that post-debate bump dissipates and we'll see if that happens for donald trump. >> all right, so bill to bring you in, let's focus on vice president didn't inherits how significant is it that this succession plan appears becoming to place and at this rate, how likely is it that harris could lead the democratic ticket? we should remind our viewers that she will be in t

the opinion of the democrats now, the democrats may be wrong, but the opinion of the democrats was that the only reason why biden is behind trump in the polls is the issue of age, and when they decided to debate this, they all knew that this was the last chance to worry about the issue of age forever. put an end to it. instead of putting an end to this concern, biden actually aggravated it a lot . the democrats came to the conclusion that it is no longer possible for biden to make up for this difference, and therefore people like members of the house of representatives, senators , close to biden, pressured him to leave and biden also resisted for a while, but after a while , it was clear that he would end his resistance, because politics is not so individual in america, and the party and its leaders, naturally, the future of the presidency and their own party is personal. like biden , they prefer an influential and popular politician for these people, like obama or nancy pelosi, the former speaker of the house of representatives. thank you very much. this explanation you gave is exactly

of the core part of the constituents and democrats and that's not a part for biden. it's a good feeling for democrats right now is harris starts moving ahead and see that and maybe notot necessarily in e polling s head-to-head with trup and harris, but you see that in the i enthusiasm of democrat donors and harris raised over $200 million in the last week alone, 200% more than what she and biden had on cash on hand well, there's 99 days till the election and early voting till the end of september and a week or so later is the convention and harris and her raining mate andd it's squashed ahope for a republican postconvention bounce for trump. the news aboutut biden stepping aside,te harris has completely kind of blotted out the sun on what we could traditionally see postconvention or even -- not even talking about this yet, post-assassination attempt and rally around the candidate. according to the polls we've seen so far and we'll have to need a bit more data here and only been a few, but no real bump for trump since the convention and it's huge and such a narrow mar

there are, or they were democrats who said they were democrats who said they were democrats who said now to unity in the party and as you said, coalescing around kamala harris. that be difficult? with some people having wanted joe biden to stay and some wanting a different choice? in biden to stay and some wanting a different choice?— a different choice? in some wa si a different choice? in some ways i think _ a different choice? in some ways i think by _ a different choice? in some| ways i think by immediately endorsing kamala harris what joe biden has done is he has freed up the party to unite behind her as his successor. not everyone will do that, there are of course democrats who are probably going to appearas who are probably going to appear as though they are neutral in case the party does set up some sort of process for there to be some kind of open primary but i don't think that they want to have a very bitter or contested fight within the party with just over three months to go trying to pick an alternative either. a lot of people were going to followjoe biden's lead and you

even democrats themselves. so wanting to move away from joe biden that they literally privately told me last week that they were afraid she was worse. newsweek after that debate, kamala harris pulling even got worse for her. i am not sure that this answers any questions but only opens more. she will collect all of the negatives of joe biden but whatever positive they are, i do not know how it adds to it. >> i think also, the question here is, how does she connect with those working-class voters, mr. speaker, that trump has had a lot of success with at least of diesel anywhere accurate in the swing states. any of the voters from joe biden to scranton and wilmington. >> she won't. joe biden being for scranton helped. kamala harris being from san francisco does not. even her energy with less to hold she could not get through the border. time and again, every time she goes to campaign she is a worse campaigner then we have even looked at on paper. i do not understand this movement so quickly where they want to go.

the democratic party force, the democrat nominee also ballad, just over 100 days before the election. having invalidated the votes of more than $14000000.00 americans who selected joe biden to be the democratic nominee for president. the self proclaimed party of democracy has proven exactly the opposite. the parties prospects are no better now with vice president, comma, la harris, who co owns the disastrous policy, failures of the by and administrative sion as 2nd in command and a completely inept borders are. harris has been a gleeful accomplice. not only in the destruction of american sovereignty, security and prosperity, but also in the largest political cover up in us history. she has known for as long as any one of his incapacity to serve. regardless of the chaos and the current whitehouse, our adversaries around the globe should be reminded that the us congress, the u. s. military and the american people are fully prepared and committed to defend our interests both at home and abroad. if joe biden is not fit to run for president, he is not fit to serve as president. he must res

the democrat.on't demean anybody for not doing it. i am just saying that once democrats do what we do and let the republicans are going to do enough to damage your candidate. for those people who think if we can get some new people in, we will get someone who will be able to beat president trump and won't have the baggage of president biden. friends, i remember when john kerry was nominated. i saw him when he reported for duty. friends, the side is going to slice and dice whomever we select. do not assume that we will have someone who will be free of those persons in a fact free debate. facts are not going to be that meaningful. they're going to do what they've done to speaker pelosi. they're going to do what they did to senator kennedy -- not kennedy, excuse me, clinton when she ran. they're going to cut people up. they spend money against us. they can spend enough money on you so much so that your mother will say i didn't know my child was that way. we have biden. we have harris. they have been v

to liberal democrats. you are seeing people uniting on her candidacy. and you also already have infrastructure set up in all of these swing states and across the country. what i think this is going to add what president biden has already set up. it's just going to be a lot of energy. you're going to have an new ticket. you're going to have volunteers showing up. they know the stakes are high, and sometimes a short-term campaign gets people going more than a long-term campaign. >> interesting point, senator. thanks so much for joining us. >> with great to be on wolf. thank you very much. >> erin, back to you. >> all right. wolf. and now you've heard from senator klobuchar, let's bring in the mayor of new york city, eric adams. mayor adams, i appreciate your time and looked just so everyone knows where you stood over these past few weeks, you have been steadfast. you have stood by president biden and you have done so as many others made a different decision, but but you stood by him how do you feel right now

mcgovern was chosen by the democratic delegates in 1972.cked tom eagleton, senator from missouri, to be his running mate. then all these storiesame out about his emotional health, mental health, shock treatment. he was soon off the ticket. and along came sarge driver. but nothing like this exactly. john: i misspoke when i said harry truman dropped out in 1948, it was 1952. you have been traveling the country for our series america at the crossroads, talking to a lot of people about the divisions in america. is this something that has the potential of bringing people together or further dividing people? judy: i would like to tell you it has the potential to resolve all our differences and bring us together. john: oh, please do. judy: i will say i think it has the potential clearly at the very least to get people to rethink this race. we have a whole new -- we are not sure who the nominee is. we believe it's going to be kamala harris. we don't know who her running mate is. there are any number of scenarios. what if she chose a woman, what if

i think people are also concerned about what is going to happen to the democratic party, should democratssue this route of -- i describe it is stumping president biden without having a plan about how to go forward and they are worried about what that might do to the base of the party. you see the congressional black caucus is in one place. the congressional hispanic caucus is also supporting president biden, so what will it do if you dismantle all of that? what will it do to the base so i think folks are very concerned and voters are concerned and i think people need to go to the districts and listen to people and hair salons and barbershops. >> and the voters, i keep telling people, talk to the voters. donna reed, thank you very much. when we come back, the rnc kicks off in less than a week. milwaukee's mayor joins us to talk about next week's convention and his latest call with president biden to shore up support in the 11th hour continues. >>> donald trump wants to talk about things that he thinks are horrible. all of us live through his presidency, so right back at you, buddy. i would

also, we are one hour away from a critical capitol hill meeting where democrats -- will democrats standby biden or wilmore ask him to bow out of the race. we will hear from one congressman who said he cannot support the president's bid any longer.>>> plus, the damage that hurricane beryl could bring to texas in just a matter of hours. >>> good sunday from msnbc world headquarters here in new york. we begin with decision 2024 with just eight days to go until the republican national convention in milwaukee, 43 days before the democratic national convention in chicago. president joe biden above the fold on front pages across the country today as he reiterates plans to stay in the presidential race under mounting pressure to step aside. in the next hour, minority leader hakeem jeffries will convene a meeting of house lawmakers to discuss biden's candidacy. and tomorrow, mark warner will talk it over with senators. today, several democrats are standing behind the president. >> it will be president biden's decision. he did a great job and was elected as the overwhelming selection of democrats t

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 carolina, josh shapiro of pennsylvania, who has endorsed harris today, and also governor gretchen whitmer of michigan, that swing state. she also says she's not interested in being at the top of the ti

, those delegates, and see whether_ democrats, those delegates, and see whether or— democrats, thoseates, and see whether or not there's a basis support— whether or not there's a basis support for them there was mark. i�*m support for them there was mark. i'm sure support for them there was mark. sure those support for them there was mark. in sure those phone calls are being taken place with a lot of energy around the country. stephanie on monday, stay with us as our panel here on this life breaking news programme. if you'rejustjoining programme. if you're just joining us, programme. if you'rejustjoining us, you're watching bbc news, and katrina perry, and we are continuing here with our major breaking news story in washington, dc. us presidentjoe biden has analyses and in his reelection bid, withdrawing his name from the 2024 presidential election race and endorsing vice president kamala harris for the democratic nomination. the biden campaign is already filed with the us federal election commission to change the name to harris for president. in a statement on next, joe biden said i

normal democrats.on the second ballot, 739 super delegates. >> shannon: somebody on this list did all hades i will edit it for you breaks loose is governor gretchen whitmer. she has something interesting to say in recent hours about the president. >> what more should he do to shut this conversation down? should he, as some people have suggested, just go ahead and take a cognitive test and demand that donald trump do the same? >> i don't think that it would hurt, to be honest. >> ha. >> at the end of the day. >> you think he should take a cognitive test? >> i don't think it would hurt. >> shannon: juan, do you think it would hurt? >> juan: john. he says is he tested every day in terms of doing his job. managing this nato conference being held here. i think, again, the question is out there. anything that quiets but the thing is even if he took the test, then people would say what doctor gave him that test? it was his doctor. let's see this result. let's see that result. i want to say a word on behalf of

primaries, democrat versus democrat battles. when we do a poll our candidates get 80 points when they start and almost 0 name recognition. young people are always if we have 5 or 10 support with every demographic, half interested in unseating the incumbent from purely anti-incumbent sentiment, ideological sentiment, antiestablishment generational change, they are more familiar with some members of the squad and more supportive of them. three or four of them have major primaries coming up and could be unseated in the upcoming primary. i am curious if the stuff around gaza his have an effect not just on biden but democratic party brand and if those candidates are unseated by apac, that it's not a place for candidates like omar, rashida tlaib, cory bush and the second thing i was going to say, on down ballot races, schumer gave a landmark speech about how he personally had turned the page on benjamin netanyahu, he doesn't make that speech unless he talked to the purple state senators who he is most concerned about being reelected.

[video clip] >> let me begin with a special thanks to americans nationwide, including all of you here today for your extraordinary outpouring of love and support in the wake of the horrific last saturday event. when you think of it, it was exactly one week ago today, almost to the hour, even to the minute. >> incredible. what a day it was. as i said earlier this week, i stand before you only by the grace of almighty god.

jeffries: as i indicated, house democrats are engaged in conversations with house democrats. at this moment in time. those conversations have been candid, clear-eyed and comprehensive. and that's important for us to do. as a house democratic caucus family. and as long as those conversations are ongoing, i'm going to respect the sanctity of those conversations until we conclude that process. reporter: thank you very much, leader jeffries. i want to ask about appropriations. the last time the speaker's job was threatened, it was your caucus that bailed him out, gave him the support to survive. that was very important to him maintaining his job. in that context, what are the priorities for the appropriations process that's under way? do you plan to use your leverage over the speaker to get some of your priorities through? and if not, why not? mr. jeffries: in connection with the appropriations process, we have had no discussions about a theoretical or hypothetical motion to vacate. we take every issue and evaluate it in a serious, substantive and sober fashion. that's before the

and the democrats are really need to move fast. as james was explaining there, there has to be some sort of process to really unify the party. because if we just go back a few days, there were voices on social media and progressives, and others on the democratic party who really were against this movement to pressure joe biden, to pass the torch. but they were calling it a bloodless crew in the making. and they may come around for uh, a comma la harris, but the time is running out so well. no. after the election, whether this worked or not, or joe biden will say, i told you so. and other democrats will say, you know, this was the right thing to do. it's all going to depend on what are the results in november, steve, we know that after his debate performance, you know, bite and tried very hard to try to sort of reset the narrative, insisting that he was going to stay in the race. he thought the certainly giving some interviews and maybe getting some stump speeches, that nato press conference. so the, perhaps that would change the ti

she's a strong leader in the democratic party and, and by the way, if the democrats want to do something really kind of wild to shake things up, why not somebody like tom hanks while we're at it? so no vice presidents often have trouble getting out of the shadow of the president . what does kamala harris have to do now to differentiate herself from the administration of job? i, i don't know that she has to do a lot to differentiate herself, you know, to present you a bite and had a very consequential term of creating a massive number of jobs. over 15700000 jobs unemployment was even lower than it was under president trump. before the pandemic, he passed the science and ships at the past the pact app for veterans. the installation reduction act just is a huge set of accomplishments, let alone holding together all of our allies to face down vladimir putin in europe . i mean, she just needs to continue. what president biden has done for his 1st 3 and a half years. now what does this mean for the republicans and trump more broadly? how do they pivot from their, of all out attack stands on, o

party, actually by the leadership of people who are members of the democratic party, it will also be very interesting to see how this election will take place, because joe biden was de facto chosen for the prime minister. and by the way, almost 100% voted for him in these primaries, that is, all the delegates voted for him, and he was elected, now how to do it during these primaries, for example, it is difficult for me to imagine, because it is a very long process, on the other hand , we understand that the democrats have something another, maybe two or three weeks, or up to a month . in order to choose a candidate, if we start from the priority date, it will most likely be somewhere in the first decade of august, that is, we are talking about really three weeks, most likely, and who it will be is also important, because now the democrats will be watching according to the ratings, will look at possible sympathies for this one. of this person, they will see how this candidate is perceived in the democratic party, and how clearly he can defeat trump, because after all to even today, if

and top democrats on m and top democrats on ram and top democrats on ca-itol hill are backin _ and top democrats on capitol hill are backing kamala - capitol hill are backing kamala harris to beat double top. —— to beat donald trump. for his part, mr trump says it will be easier to beat kamala harris than mr biden. our other main headlines. a student leader calls for a pause in the bangladesh job quota protests which have left more than 150 people dead. and more than 20,000 people on the spanish island hello, i'm nicky schiller. we start in the united states with reaction tojoe biden�*s decision to quit november's presidential race. he is backing his vice president kamala harris to now take on donald trump in the election. many top democrats have followed his lead and have also thrown their support behind her. kamala harris says she intends to "earn and win" the nomination. mr biden withdrew on sunday, saying he'd taken the decision in the best interests of his party and the country. the democrat leader in the senate, chuck schumer, called mr biden a true patriot who had put america's

party, democrats will rally around vice president harris. we've already seen, of course, that president biden has endorsed her as his successor. not surprisingly, we also saw that a number of top elected officials from the democratic party, including several who could be potential challengers for the nomination, have said they ... support her, that they will not oppose it. i think vice president harris still has plenty of time, and she's going to inherit the biden campaign, she's going to inherit the funds, and it's a very large amount that's been raised, so that's another advantage for her as a candidate because she's already been with him. in the bulletin, she can simply pick up where he left off. i think some of the motivation for democrats is feeling. that despite biden's weakness, after the debate and the fact that he's trailing trump in the polls, that trump can still be beaten. i think there is a widespread perception among democrats that trump himself is a flawed candidate, that he has significant weaknesses, that while he is very po

democrats, their leadership to act enough strongly. if we talk about biden's successors in the presidential race, vice president of the united states of america kamala harris was called the most likely candidate, although there were also questions about her ratings, some. polls have shown that she is not exactly popular in the united states of america in general, she is not supposedly charismatic there, and so on and so forth. so, mr. oleg, who do you think the democrats can choose as a presidential candidate from their political force, it will be kamala harris, maybe it will be one of the governors, or it can be for a completely different candidate. which we don't even know yet, well, i 'll start with the last one, so far no such unexpected candidates have been named, now it looks like, according to inertia , haris is considered the main contender, but the closer, i noticed, the closer the situation developed before biden took off... the bezyan race, the more frequent statements about doubting whether harris could win over trump. her
