if the ticket were, for example, harris/whitmer, if i were donald trump, i would put elise stefanik ona woman for the ticket. where republicans are vulnerable are with suburban women on the issue of abortion. why not put a woman on the tick'the democrats have two women? the other thing is that trump likes the drama. he likes the drama of unfolding it, and all the drama right now is on the biden side. but in a bad way for biden. so trump has to let that play out. he wants to do it at a perfect time when he has strategic leverage and the perfect time to make as much news as he can, and right now, biden is making all the news. again, he's making news in a way that's good for trump. >> mark made a good point, garrett. about the discipline that this campaign is showing. now, we have seen that in campaigns past. they never lasted very long. how different is this campaign staff and how different is donald trump? >> well, the campaign staff is smaller and more professional, and they have shown that across the campaign that they have run thus far. donald trump, however, is still the same donald

introduction, and some of the people on the longer list, including tim scott, ben carson, and elise stefanik. the former president has been teasing this announcement, he was asking voters, should i announce today? we think that is unlikely, he continues to say he wants to announce at the convention. here is what he said recently about how he is making this decision. >> it is like a highly sophisticated version of the apprentice. okay, if you think about it. and they are great people and they are really great. i got to know them very well. i would say four people, you know, four or five people, but i got to know them very well. some dropped out over the course of, they didn't drop, you know, there were reasons they would not have done as well. >> reporter: whoever the running mate is will debut on the big stage at the convention on wednesday night. >> i want to get a little bit more information on the speakers. you talked about who is in and who is out. do we even know if there was a presence of nikki haley anywhere at the convention? >> reporter: she has given her delegates over to the forme

i always thought elise stefanik would be a strong choice. it appears she's not being speculated any longer. i won't guess who it is because i don't know who it might be. but i don't subscribe to the thinking that it has to be one of the big names being speculated about. donald trump like supplies is and i don't know how those three got anointed as the finalists. >> if i would feed that speculation, not making any predictions here whatsoever, but it's interesting that following the assassination attempt we got word yesterday during the day from nikki haley's team and nikki haley herself confirming to me that she received an invitation to the rnc. she had not prior to saturday. she accepted that invitation and we have confirmed she has a speaking role. >> i salute that. if you are for unity, be for unity. unity doesn't start with the other party it starts with your own party. it's a good news and she deserves a slot and she deserves to be heard and she will give a fine speech endorsing donald trump but this is about donald trump. and i have to

conference chair and new york congresswoman elise stefanik joins you now to react.morning, congresswoman. >> good morning. >> ainsley: what did you think about last night. what do you expect tonight. >> it was a unifying night. i have been part of the convention for years. this is the most unified and excited that the republican party and the american people have ever been. i had the opportunity to sit with the president in the president's box. two nights ago. and it was just extraordinary seeing him and what a welcome he got on the first day of the convention. i thought j.d. vance did a tremendous job introducing himself to the american people. it's going to be a very strong ticket. and i was honored to speak two days ago about how we are working to make america safe again. how we are working to make america strong again and, of course, the highlight and the culmination will be president trump tonight. and i had the opportunity to speak with him the sunday morning after the assassination attempt where he talked about how he was rewriting his speech and is focused o

i saw elise stefanik, a prominent republican congresswoman from new york. she said something at the convention, at the republican convention in milwaukee when that caught my ear, let me play this for you. >> that president donald j. trump will be the first republican in a generation who new york state i see you i see your reaction right there. that was days before joe biden dropped out. you say the chances of that are 00 and zero? donald trump will not win new york state kamala harris and her running mate will win new york state and something out that's going to happen in new york state we're going to take back the house of representatives. >> this is important and this is something i know you're working on because i wanted to talk to you about this because this when you look at the races and you look at what has happened in new york in terms of congressional races since the midterm in 2022 democrats lost for new york house seats leading republicans to seize that small majority in the house, splitting the congress it's not a battleground state as we've just

harris, doug burgum, jd vance, tim scott, elise stefanik who should trump pick whoever president trump wants to pick of that shortlist. he has the most important. >> you've got to. you've got to make there is named listener, there is no public pick of mine. it's not my pick it's his. he has great options. they come with strengths and the fact is whoever president trump picks of that shortlist, these are all people who would be telling. >> so he's suggested that he's waiting to see what happens with president biden should his pick be affected by what happens with the democrats? >> well, i think as far as the timeline, the convention coming up here in just a few days. so i think that as far as president biden goes, it looks obvious to me, at least to this point, the president biden is going to be the nominee may be something changes. we'll see. but i think that as far as this picked, vice president, it's something that's going to have to get announced here within the next week. >> so some people in, trump's orbit are playing favorites with these folks, including the former president's so

in an incident at this campaign rally in butler, pennsylvania, the house gop conference chair elise stefanik also posted in that same x platform. please pray for president trump, his family, and all of the patriots at today's rally in pennsylvania so statements, reaction coming in very, very quickly and i'll read one more time. the secret service official statement that just came in from the chief of communications of the u.s. secret service, and incident occurred the evening of july 13, at a trump rally in pennsylvania. the secret service has implemented protective measures. and the former president is safe this is now an active secret service investigation. and further information will be released when available. that statement from the chief of communications for the u.s secret service. i want to bring in our chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller, who's with us, watch that, right now watching all of this unfold. what's your analysis, john? well what you see, and we've seen it several times on our air is you hear that happen? you see the president reach for his ear you

green, today i rise in strong support of house joint resolution 1371 introduced by congresswoman elise stefanik. each day the failed policies of this administration become more glaring. and those who implemented the disastrous agenda leading to the current crisis at our border must absolutely be held accountable. today i give my strongest support to this resolution to ensure that vice president kamala harris is held responsible for her role in the administration's far left open border policies. as border czar, vice president harris has overseen the most catastrophic border crisis in our nation's history. as we all know, the failed policies of the biden-harris administration has turned every state in the united states into a border state. and led to a record level illegal immigration, including from individuals on the terrorist watch list. we cannot stand by and allow this to happen. these failed policies are a direct assault on the sovereignty, the security, and the strength of the united states. under harris' watch and with her consent and her support, president biden has issued more than 70 e

in education where there were a bunch of university professor of university presidents elise stefanik, asked a very easy question and couldn't get an answer. did you see that hearing? >> no, i don't think i did. okay. well, let me tell you. it didn't go well. and the short end of that story was those university professors all resigned. they're gone that's how this is going for you this is where this is headed. >> okay. >> this is i don't know who prepared you for this i don't know how many times you've testified in front of congress but a president was almost assassinated live on television, not just for americans, but for the world to see and this being your first opportunity. i understand there's an ongoing investigation. i understand there's things that you can not talk about, but the idea that we're getting less than you did on television is something that democrats, independents, or republicans are going to find unacceptable my high school marjory stoneman, douglas was on the list of mass shootings that representative rank raskin held up. that very day. the school resource office

two months ago you predicted congresswoman elise stefanik are you striking whether well, i feel like this has turned into a fantasy football drafted just left the number one draft pick on the table. so i'm changing to jd vance. i believe that all of that discussion that we're hearing about him as somebody who can really be a torchbearer for trumpism in the future is probably accurate. the lineup for the rnc that that night seems to be very ohio trumpian. i'll just say i think vance kara senator tim scott, and i know how much you like to admit. you're wrong. so are you sticking with scott? >> no, no, no, it's gonna be jd vance really? i think one point i did say jd know. >> you said scott. scott just got which for bud point about how much you right. saying. >> no. i think it's jd vance. it is interesting that one of his biggest backers comp, is, is donald trump jr. and he's gonna be speaking that by just before the vice president he's? >> confident he's going to win right now that jd vance is the pick of a candidate who's confident they're going to win burgum is, we've really appeal i

that's elise stefanik handing over the delegates for the state of new york. we spoke earlier to a woman from florida of all places who wanted her to be the vice presidential pick, thought that she would be a very good choice. there was a lot of speculation about her early on. she's risen within the republican party. she's now a member of leadership in the house. she's been a staunch supporter of donald trump and a staunch supporter in what is a very blue state. once you get out of new york city, there are some very red areas, and the thought was you could try to pick somebody from a place that was unlikely like new york, that did not happen. he eventually went with j.d. vance of ohio and i want to pick up on something that garrett haake said a moment ago, this idea that j.d. vance can talk to the rust belt voters, pennsylvania, indiana -- not indiana, michigan, wisconsin, these swing states that are needed to win the electoral college, and that he'll be able to speak to those voters. i'm going to put a pause on that. i want to go down to florida where we, aga

you have people like elise stefanik, the chairwoman of the house, republican conference, rick scott, senator of florida. many of these people really showing up and really the goal here, wolf, i'm told that trump, donald trump's team is trying to portray next week is to show that at a time when so much chaos is happening in the democratic party were questions continue to percolate over whether people within the democratic party believed joe biden is fit to serve for another four years. they really want to make this a show of unity around donald trump and have all of these high-profile people lining up behind him and create that contrast right to treene reporting for us, alayna, thank you. very much. let's discuss this and more with cnn political commentators, maria cardona and adam kinzinger and former trump administration official matt mowers maria, let's talk a little bit about the year republican convention. first of all, this latest report from the new york times that some major democratic donors are now planning to hold back some of the $90 million in pledged money. it's pledged,

remember there were other people on those lists who were supposed to expand the map, byron donalds, elise stefanik, tim scott, there was a sense that he would have to go in a different direction to bring in those folks and he did. and i think it speaks to you your point that this is a governing pay? yeah. this is a pic of someone who is looking ahead to continue the kind of ideology of the maga movement. and i think also is thinking about the senate and capitol hill and jd vance is someone who was kind of led the undoing of those norms in that place. and i think donald trump is think about how he gets things done a lot more than he's thinking about. it speaks to the confidence so we're talking about earlier that they think they're in a position to think past november rather than someone who gets them over the line in november. >> he also personifies the transformation absolute of the republican party since he started out life, obviously being incredibly well-known by writing the hillbilly elegy is trying to explain to broader america the trump appeal, but he didn't like trump in a visceral, very o

and, you know, he if he had chosen a running mate like tim scott or marco rubio or elise stefanik, younow, that would have indicated that he was going for more demographic diversity. instead, it seems like he's really, you know, doubling down on trying to identify more maga voters to turn out. >> so his connection probably to those states, those swing states is working class background, definitely would be probably an asset to the trump campaign. now, back in june, let's talk about the intersection between silicon valley, vance and the republican party. now because back in june, vance helped organize a fundraiser at the home of a billionaire for donald trump. it reportedly raised about $12 million. what does this tell you about what is thought to be a politically progressive bay area now courting conservative republicans? >> yeah, well, we've definitely seen a shift in silicon valley. we do have, you know, some some real conservatives in the mix, including peter thiel, who, vance worked with in the past. elon musk is another who's who's definitely trending in that republican conservati

i know at elise stefanik was out there is just remarkable because they clearly were not planning on running at the top of the ticket against a woman. i think it was easier to not when it was a vp that is but that's best choice. >> and boy, sarah huckabee sanders looked in fighting shape convention in therapy to hell, this to say about jd vance is dan quayle from yale he is completely overrated. he is not performing well at all. he is an easier to do anything impressive. the main thing he did was create chemistry. in other words, chemistry with chapstick. he kissed up to donald trump. that's what chemistry means. he kissed up to donald trump better than the others, and he got the nominee and the elon money that helps a little bit. yes silicon valley money is a bad deal. >> everyone hang on for just a minute. coming up. we're going to discuss some new reporting that rfk jr. has tried to strike a deal with trump what? >> wanted in exchange for an endorsement that's next washington crossing the delaware at a us it invents the lightbulb the practical joke to tbs its history impractical jokers, a

elise stefanik, some had hoped she'd be on that vp list. she is speaking tonight steve scalise is going to speak in and how speaker mike johnson will appear again. so all of that heavy weight behind trump tonight, and some crucial senate contenders, jake, dave mccormick, who's running against bob casey in pennsylvania, was in the front row on saturday. he's spoken about that. he will be speaking tonight and i'm sure that will be raw emotion from him. kari lake speaking tonight and others from the senate candidates. so it is going to be a crucial night, really showing that trump has the entire party, not just the maga part of the party, but the entire party behind him all right, aaron, i'll check in with you in a little bit. we're going to have more on the first, some breaking news before saturday's assassination attempt against former president donald trump. there was a separate assassination plot. one by iran, that the u.s. secret service and trump campaign we're aware of. let's bring in cnn's evan perez with this exclusive reporting. evan

and elise stefanik, the house republican conference chair, she says this, if joe biden can't run for reelection, he's unable and unfit to serve as president of the united states. he must resign immediately. so these calls will be coming in. this is something that has been telegraphed. what's extraordinary about this is the clinic the tree and the political parties have had more than three weeks to kind of think about these scenarios and that is going to be an argument. the white house obviously is going to be pushing back against that by showing that he will do his job, his day job, he's already meeting with israeli prime minister on tuesday. that is the schedule. but look, this is going to be issue republicans control the house as we know very well. they could have hearings et cetera, but the presidency is still his. but this is going to be a soundtrack of the rest of the campaign. is he fit to serve for president right now? it may be a distraction or it could be a rallying cry for democrats as well. but one thing this it's, does this injects energy and uncertainty into this pretty

elise stefanik said, back-room donors and stenographers in main-stream media conspired in this attackerve as general election candidate. they are disenfranchising the vote of 14 million voter because they hid joe biden's health issues. what about that, the fact 14 million people voted for scombroeb and he will not be the nominee. com commander-in-chief /* >> tomi: that is why we need to hear from joe biden. it is not the democratic process to say, i'm losing in the polls, so, i will drop out and disenfranchise the people that voted for me and independents that voted for joe biden. if there is something wrong with this president that makes him unable to run for office or serve, we need to know what that is. just saying, i'm losing, that ain't enough. this is unfair to the trump campaign who spent millions and spent time campaigning against joe biden. it is not fair for entire process. i think the trump campaign will be ready for whatever comes their way >> this whole thing, something ain't right here. >> carley: donald trump has had a remarkable week, surviving an assassination attempt

>>florida congressman byron donalds and new york congresswoman elise stefanik, political science professorinning that's missing from this group of names. they do bring a state that donald trump needs and they do bring the constituency that donald trump needs. these are normal. >>politician calculations and trump is not a normal politician. >>the former president will hold campaign rallies in florida and pennsylvania this week. potential opportunities for an announcement reporting in washington. reshad hudson. >>kron on will continue with more top headlines from the bay and beyondindiana man is in custody for the murder of a fellow resident of a sober living facility in southern california. it happened friday morning in irvine as orange county bureau chief chip yost reports. some neighbors are raising concerns about the home at the center of that investigation. >>hello there. police say 18 year-old man who was a resident of a sober living home here in this neighborhood was murdered this morning. and they say the man who killed him was another resident of the home. neighbors say about 2 to 3

the terror of the united states house of representatives republican conference, congresswoman elise stefanik the most important election in our lifetime. but we know deep down, this one truly is. our constitution and the soul of our very nation are on the ballot. under joe biden, the american people have suffered crisis after crisis. from the biden border, the most wide-open border in our nations history. to bite inflation, the highest rate of inflation in my lifetime , devastating hard-working families with skyrocketing prices for groceries, gas, and utilities. the biden's violent crime crisis, fueled by democrats, criminals, sanctuary cities, and defund the police policies like we've seen in my home state of new york. all the while, corrupt democrat prosecutors and judges wage illegal and unconstitutional law fair against president trump in his effort to do joe biden's political bidding. around the world, the feckless and failed joe biden has caused chaos. weakening our national security. from the catastrophic withdrawal from afghanistan, to putin's invasion of ukraine, to hamas's terroris

also congresswoman elise stefanik, one of the impeachment managers to defend him.the last five years, a stalwart defender of his, somebody who has been on the national airwaves trying to strike that strong defense in most of her public critiques of him -- not public, made in private, have been written about. so i think there is definitely an open question mark. two weeks ago he said he made up his mind. this week he is suggesting that he is still trying to make his decision. i think one other note on this here, is when you are looking at who that running mate would be, there are serious question. who would potentially certify election results and go along with anything come 2029 and marco rubio certified the 2020 election. so i think there is a lot that we not only are looking at potentially for this november but also what that individual, the role they would serve in the administration. >> what's moved the timing? >> i think it's a good question. he suggested this week that he was waiting to see whether joe biden would drop off the ticket, that that could change h

they were looking at elise stefanik. obviously none of those things came to pass. it is j.d. vance. question that is going forward, what is j.d. vance going to be able to deliver. is it going to be the suburban working mom or is the trump campaign going to say we don't need her so much as we need white working class men, the voters that don't come out to every election, the sleeper voters in places like michigan, here in wisconsin, ohio they have on lock, but pennsylvania. is j.d. vance the kind of candidate that can speak to those voters, help motivate them to come out for donald trump. i can tell you in 2016 this was a mantra of his campaign, they said they were going to break the blue wall, they were going to win michigan, they were going to win wisconsin and people like me would look at them and say how? you've never done that before. and the mantra was jobs, jobs, jobs. do they take that on again and do they use j.d. vance as their mouth piece for that? >> katy tur, i will give you the same request that i made to vaughn hillyard, i know you are in the middle of all of it. if yo

listen to what gop conference chair elise stefanik and house speaker mike johnson said about violent crime biden, violent crime crisis fueled by democrats pro pro-criminal sanctuary cities and defund the police policies like we have seen in my home state of new york. we can't survive the dramatic increases in violence, crime, and drugs that the democrats policies have brought up upon our community well, i'll do it again. >> this claim that there have been dramatic increases in violence and crime under biden is false. in fact, both violent crime and property crime have fallen under president biden, and there have been big declines over the last year-and-a-half out preliminary figures from the fbi shows that violent crime is down roughly 6% in 2023 then, it dropped by a staggering 15% in the first quarter of 2024, the declines in murder in particular, were even bigger. and so now key factor here, murder in particular, and violent crime in general, or both below where they were in 2020, trump's last year in office. now, congresswoman stefanik claim of a biden violent crime crisis is sub

green, today i rise in strong support of house joint resolution 1371 introduced by congresswoman elise stefanik. each day the failed policies of this administration become more glaring. and those who implemented the disastrous agenda leading to the current crisis at our border must absolutely be held accountable. today i give my strongest support to this resolution to ensure that vice president kamala harris is held responsible for her role in the administration's far left open border policies. as border czar, vice president harris has overseen the most catastrophic border crisis in our nation's history. as we all know, the failed policies of the biden-harris administration has turned every state in the united states into a border state. and led to a record level illegal immigration, including from individuals on the terrorist watch list. we cannot stand by and allow this to happen. these failed policies are a direct assault on the sovereignty, the security, and the strength of the united states. under harris' watch and with her consent and her support, president biden has issued more than 70 e
