the emerson poll has kamala harris's performance, doubling her support in the process biden has a 15oint lead in the democratic primary thanks to bernie sanders dropping 12 points and elizabeth warren holding steady. according to ari fleischer biden is in trouble. >> the real question is joe biden, hillary clinton 2020. i think all evidence will point that is going to be the case for him. he feels like yesterday's senator and that is his problem. >> the biggest winner of the debates might be donald trump. he leads warren, harris and pete buttigieg after trailing them last month and closed the gap on sanders and biden. debate number 3 hosted by abc news september 12, 13th, it could feature as many as 20 candidates but the second might not happen depending on how many candidates qualify. jillian: thank you. rob: robert johnson says the democratic party has moved too far to the left. the longtime democrat says he is not supporting a 2020 candidate at this time but he did praise our current president for the booming economy. >> african-american unemployment is at its what was level, hisp

a strong showing at the democratic debate has kamala harris skyrocketing to second place.l shows a 17% support among 2020 presidential candidates, 9 point jump from last month, joe biden still leads the pack but his support is down since may. one of the most famous mansions in history could be all yours. >> that man looking at us and smiling. do you know? >> the georgia home that inspired gone with the wind is being auctioned off with a starting bid of $1 million and features 12 bedrooms, 121/2 bathrooms and 3 acres of gardens. really big house if you're in the market for it. the time is half past the hour. after this violent protests in oregon there are no reports that antifa is planning a massive tax during a free-speech rally. former antifa members says they should be arrested and he is here live to tell us why the violence has to stop. and a terrifying crash landing caught on camera. what happened moments before the plane slammed into the ground. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clic

kamala -- not everybody has kamala harris' talent. she's really, really good at this. everybody is. and counter punches are always more effective than punches. joe biden is a smart guy. he has good people prepping him. so does bernie sanders. they should welcome the attack, particularcally democrats. we're wussies. we don't like attacks. biden didn't answer very effectively. he has to this time. >> this time around we'll have corey booker on the other side of joe biden. he is looking to get in on this action. we've seen he and biden going after each other's records. let's listen. >> yeah. >> for a guy who helped to be an architect of mass incarceration, this is an inadequate solution to what is a raging crisis in our country. >> his police department was stop and frisk, mostly african-american men. we took action against them, held the police department accountable. >> i wonder, angela, should biden be booker's main target or should it be harris? >> i think his main target needs to be talking about why he doesn't have an agenda that's answered for what happened with ma

while the emerson poll you see has kamala harris as winner of best performance in the first debate, doublingthe -- 15 point lead in the democratic primary, thanks to bernie sanders dropping 12 points and elizabeth warren holding steady. president trump leads warren, harris and pete buttigieg and he's closed the gap on sanders and biden. debate number three announced hosted by abc news and univision. the second night might not happen, depending on how many candidates qualify. i say this all the time, we're just getting started. the reality is, we are just getting started. a lot more of this to go. lauren: and the narrative will change many, many times. todd piro, thank you. cheryl: let's stay with this story. could steyer be considered a serious threat to the other candidates? the trump administration doesn't think so. here's what they say. it doesn't say much for the whole democrat field that the number one democrat donor took a look around and decided there's no one he can support. what kind of challenge does steyer present here. let's bring in kevin chavis and ken chase. guys, good morning

he just doesn't look like he has the energy. kamalaven if she gets the nomination and i think she will. >> really? >> yes, i think she will. i think it will be a 2-woman ticket. liz, kamala harris and marianne williamson will be the secretary of love. >> [laughing]. >> kamala harris won't be safe. biden hit trump as anti-minority. now trump can hit kamala harris as anti-minority. the circle of love in politics. you put a lot of low-level drug arrests for a long period of time. she will get the bitter taste of medicine for him. >> my gosh, this is too much. >> the 2020 democrats are doubling down on healthcare for illegal immigrants next. you have to see it on "the five." >> ♪ of savings and service. whoa. travis in it made it. it's amazing. oh is that travis's app? it's pretty cool, isn't it? there's two of them. they're multiplying. no, guys, its me. see, i'm real. i'm real! he thinks he's real. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. >> ♪ >> ♪ >> ♪ >> the 2020 democrats keep reaching new extremes on illegal immigration. beto o'r

>> he has kamala harris as a protagonist in that argument that he will try to make as forcefully as theynk they recognize the fallout from the last debate in raising questions about, you kn know, how aggressive he can be and, you know, how up for prime time he really is on a debate stage. you raised tim pawlenty earlier. cory booker has forecast this had line of attack on joe biden and his crime record and can he deliver that? can he live up to that? cory booker is often sort of rosie kumbaya as a candidate. on a stage, looking at joe biden, can he deliver that kind of attack, like kamala harris did in the last debate? >> i think a big topic tonight that we saw a little bit of last night, but not that much, is that this is the most diverge stage in presidential history. not only is it booker and harris, but castro, the only latino, gabbard. they're surrounding biden. one of the biggest topics in the democratic debate is how they talk about racial identity. how they're going to confront trump and his racist attacks on lawmakers of color and i think that either in booker's attacks on biden

he has a different health care plan than we heard about last night. so does kamala harris. t is the time to come out and say maybe medicare for all isn't the right way to go. he has to show that. >> he has made it clear. he wants to talk about health care, kamala harris, how are you going to pay for it, there will be sparks there. on the issue of race, you have a lot of african-american voters that are loyal to him. does he have something to prove? >> i think that he does. it's interesting because the african-american community increasingly is split between older black voters who are very comfortable with joe biden. they understand some of the digs in the '90s. you have a new generation of black voters. all they know is the chaos and destruction of mass incarceration. all they know is that white kids do drugs on college campuses and don't even get to the principal's office and black kids go to prison and it's wrong. and they lay it at the feet of the bidens and they put him right in the middle of that. when you dig up those old speeches, it is hard for young voters to be for

how convinced are you that kamala harris has staying power?ain, this is a snapshot. let's see what happens when she has her records scrubbed over. she has not gone through the scrutiny yet that biden has over time, and that bernie sanders did last year. this is her first time at the rodeo, if you will. and there's a lot she has to show that she can stand up to whatever criticism comes, because it will come. no one is perfect. but she has shown she has a way of handling herself that is presidential. and i think that really showed on the debate, and i don't think that's something that disappeared. i think that goes to philip's point about biden being the most electable -- the person most likely to beat donald trump. losing those 14 points is huge for biden because biden's cycle in the polls, one fed the other. so that number was up, so his numbers went up. so his general election numbers went up. he's facing a challenge in dealing with kamala harris because he doesn't know how to handle it, and i think also, there's another big difference. harri

kennedy: tell me, whether or not has done enough damage control, if kamala harris has successfully championedlf in the wake of that moment. >> she has. the 3 polls that come out in the just post debate have showed her more than doubling her support, she has jumped to 10%, she was around 5% before. and biden has lost about that same amount. he is on the slide. question is whether he is able to turn that or not, joe biden was i think for most people who were looking at this race saw joe biden was the guy with big name i.d., democrats with fond memories of him, but he was marily a place -- nearly a place holier, what democrats saw, a guy who was old, rambling and stumbling, his response to kamala was inaproip yeah, the foao proip yeah,a-- inappropriay time is up, i am sorry. kennedy: he has not been able to anticipate the arrows, can he turn this and how? >> well, we'll see, i am not sure he will be able to turn it, you are seeing the voters now moving in other directions, looking at different candidates they get to know, and he still has, cnn poll showed him dropping 10 points from a month ago,

when kamala wt after him, his reaction was a little stilted. the coverage has been dcontinuig al today. i think she scored major points last asght. >> itort of both. it was the fact that kamala harris seemed so authentand clearly prepared but also solaxed. but a that he didn't seem to have a response for something he should have known was coming. >> terrible debate n.preparat also she did something that was she wassual in that able to combine a very personal anecdo anecdote, her childhood in berkeley talking about race, which is very difficult to talk about. and then she went into prosecutor mode and said, do you still support bussing. it was all faces of kamala. this was a kamala thatwe did not see when she was running for a.g., senate and district attorney. we have watched her mature before our eyes. >> we're going to have to talk about the other candidates. before we do,at do you think about how joe biden has dealt with this in the aftermath of the debate? seems like he's digging in. >> yeah. rd>> we haven't h him apologize or find a way to kind of get past

biden has surged, support for kamala has slipped a bit. let's begin our coverage with cnn's athena jones. she is live on the stage inside the debate hall. is that even allowed, athena? >> reporter: well, it's allowed for me. good morning, alisyn, this is, as you said it, the big night, the second major opportunity for these candidates to make their case to voters on a national stage, who's going to be on this beautiful stage tonight. we already mentioned the progressives, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren who will be at center stage, beto o'rourke and pete buttigieg, also on stage, amy klobuchar, mary ann williamson, montana governor steve bullock will be making his first appearance in a debate. we'll keep a close eye on the match up between warren and sanders. they are friends after all, but they're also vying for some of the same supporters. we know the moderators are going to be looking to draw out the contrast between those two candidates. they also have to contend with the other moderates on the stage seeking to make their own case,

. >> the debate has catapulted kamala harris who you're with in serious contention.lso know debate bounces can be short-looiived. have you seen any adjustments on her campaign to capitalize on this, and i also want to know about her fundraising because we know she made $2 million in 24 hours but we haven't seen her quarterly numbers. >> reporter: yeah, we haven't seen the quarterly numbers yet. they expect to release those in the next couple days. after her performance the campaign raised $3 million just in online donations. she had multiple fundraising events in california where she raised an additional $6 million, the campaign tells us. what is the condition of this campaign right now coming out of the debate? the reality right here in iowa is they now have 65 paid staffers here on the ground in iowa. they looked at that debate as an opportunity -- as being more than a debate bump. they believe this summer is that moment when people would start paying attention. we are as of now seven days away from that iowa caucus. i asked kamala harris, i was with her in califor

kamala harris is gaining on the question of who can best be donald trump. but joe biden still has a solid lead there. do you see that changing? >> probably not so much at this stage. at least right now. i still put a little asterisk on this kamala harris support within the african-american community. voters i have talked to since that debate has not been a warm, fuzzy reception to how she handled joe biden, especially with voters 45 and over. "new york times" is coming up with reporting showing the numbers are really still soft fore her in the black community. because of that reservoir of respect and, you know, sort of connection with biden through obama and all of that. so that's going to take a little bit of time. i think in the main, though, what she needs to do is capitalize as much as she can on this moment. as was noted from the field guys and gals, those numbers will slide. >> right. >> you're going to hit something along the way, particularly when elizabeth warren or bernie sanders decide to turn their fire on her. that's the dynamic now and once we get into the fall. >> t

brand new poll shows the democratic primary contest has officially been up-ended by last week's debate performance by kamala harris. quinnipiac poll shows harris in a statistical tie with joe biden. the democratic party has two front-runners, two candidates ahead of the rest of the pack. both of them in the promising signs of the democrats clearly trigger the president. here's the poll showing kamala harris at 20% and joe biden at 22, within the margin of error. elizabeth warren at 14%, bernie sanders at 13%. mayor pete buttigieg, at 4%. this poll shows a trend of biden slumping a bit down 10 points since may and kamala harris surging, up 9. for his part, the president is showing jitters sitting down with tucker carlson in some unhinged tweets this morning. quote, as most people are aware, according to the polls, i won every debate, including the three with crooked hillary clinton. despite the fact in the first debate they modulated the sound on me and got caught. got caught modulating. i missed that. this crew looks somewhat easier than crooked but you never know. that tweet coming as twitter started to pe

and i'm looking to see how he and kamala harris go against each other. cory booker has take some votes. it will be interesting to watch all the dynamics tonight. >>. >> the fact that on either side of joe biden will be cory booker and kamala harris, she showed in the last debate, she has no compungs about taking him on. they're both going after him. what are the risks? biden is the focal point but booker is who i'll look at to see what the pace of the night will be. if cory booker attacks early and often which i think is conventional wisdom, that will radically reshape how the moderators manage it. how the other candidates react. how even someone like kamala harris reacts. it is interesting. conventional wisdom would suggest that joe biden will come out ready to counter punch, he'll come out much more aggressive. if you're joe biden and you look at the poll numbers, you had a bad debate performance six weeks ago and you pretty much won back all the market share that you lost in that period of time. because frankly, the president has been so erratic that i would imagine

joe biden's lead has been cut to five points as kamala harris and elizabeth warren have surged following the first debates. biden has slipped to 22%. and harris at 17% and warren at 15%. bernie sanders has dropped to fourth place at 14%. no other candidates hit the 5% mark. also tonight, president trump is back from what he calls a perfect g-20 summit. and a stunning visit to north korea where he walked into the demilitarized zone for a historic meeting with kim jong-un. democrats are slamming that as nothing more than a photo op while north korea is celebrating it as a propaganda victory and "the new york times" reports that the trump administration is now weighing a nuclear freeze for north korea which would let the north koreans keep their nuclear weapons. >>> i'll speak with congressman ro khanna of the armed service committee and our correspondents and analysts will have full coverage of the day's top stories. let's begin with the breaking news. a brand-new cnn poll just out showing a significant tightening of the democratic presidential race. let's go straight to cnn political dire

job has suffered, kamala harris has gained, since the first debate. so too has elizabeth warren. atively stable. pete buttigieg may be up a little, that's within the margin of error. these are the top five heading into round two. kamala harris was asked last night, any worry that this is getting too brutal? >> is there any chance the candidates will cannibalize each other, going into the big prize? >> i hope not. most of us are of like mind, that this should be a debate about issues but not personal attacks. it should be about, you know, pointing out the differences, obviously, between us so democrats can make a decision, but it should not be about cannibalizing anybody. >> does the draw, meaning who is on the stage which night, how much of a difference does that make? >> we saw that it made a big difference last time around because it gave kamala harris a chance to take a shot at joe biden. i think generally politicians are fairly uncreative. when they see something that works they try to just replicate it for themselves. so i suspect we'll see a lot of people trying to set up th

because this has been the one tangible he has compared to the other candidate specifically kamala harris who has been all over the place when it comes to health care and undecided about how she would pursue it going forward. he's got the affordable care act which he said he's going to focus on improving as opposed to focusing on medicare for all or blowing up the system. a lot of pressure on him, but he's feeling more emboldened now with the numbers. >> it's always interesting to look at the key state of ohio. shall we do that? here's the quinnipiac poll. that shows biden more than twice ahead of his closest competitor in ohio and that is kamala harris. she has 14% tied with bernie sanders at 14%. >> what's interesting about ohio is the head-to-head matchups with president trump. he is the only candidate who is decisively leading president trump in ohio. it's a decidedly different number, the one between joe biden and president trump. >> and of course the challenge for all candidates is how to have an aggressive primary without leaving somebody so battle scarred for the general. so that

has been identified as one of the victims. >> the back-and-forth between joe biden and kamala harris has taken a new turn.ris is now on the defensive. ( cheers and applause ) >> big comeback win at wimbledon for coco gauff. >> i always knew i could come back, no matter what the score is. >> begnaud: and, steve hartman with the kid everyone rejected. >> they would pick teams, and i would be the only one left out. >> begnaud: until one day, he showed them all. >> begnaud: good evening from new york. welcome to the broadcast. i'm david begnaud. this is our western edition. friday was full of aftershocks in southern california, a day after this 6.4 earthquake rattled the region there. there have been more than 1,400 aftershocks, one of them measured 5.4. now, the damage is still being assessed from that original quake, which was the largest in two decades. california's governor has declared a state of emergency for the area near the epicenter, which is about 150 miles northeast of los angeles, and that is where carter evans is tonight. ( screams ) >> reporter: the 6.4 magnitude earthquake is still fresh on ev

that's the general trend in the last month has been warren gaining and kamala harris gaining. >> reporter: biden has apologized for remarks about working with segregationists in the senate. >> that should not define 50 years of my record for fighting for civil rights and racial justice in this country. i hope not. >> senator kamala harris attacked biden. but other democrats defend his record. >> the people are beating up on biden and have no real sense of history, of what was going on. >> reporter: president trump is now racing his own criticism from an ally. britain's ambassador to the u.s. called president trump inept, insecure and incompetent. >> we're not big fans of that man, and he has not served the uk well. >> reporter: officials have launched a foral investigation into how those cables released. jennifer johnson, nbc news washington. >> running for office to running with the bulls. and this year, a fatale twist. at least three people were gored today in spain, including a 46-year-old man from san francisco. take a look at this chaos. it draws a million dare devils from around the

week is going to get attacks from the white house testing those lines. >> kamala harris had a good week. and lindsey graham hasice telling reporters, kamala harris has game. she is talented, smart, a force to be reckoned with. not just praise from graham but the attacks on harris from other secments of the president's base. she is a threat to the president trump world. >> sure. she is exposing the weakness of the joe biden campaign. he is not a strong front-runner. he went in uncle joe to great uncle joe. he is grappling with the realities of the current situation and not always successfully. . >> i want to go abouting to this "new york times" reporting on hunter biden. they are trying to get out in front of what could be a story line the next year or so. what can you tell us? >> hallie, if you remember the conversations we were having before joe biden entered this race, there were a lot of questions whether he would launch this campaign largely because of concerns how his family would be used in the campaign. a lot of people heard it and thought it was a factor of bo biden, they were still dealing with the sh

new monmouth polling out of south carolina shows the vice president has 51% of the african-american democratic voter base. kamalas 12. cory booker has 2. bernie sanders has 10. those are good numbers, but are they numbers you need to be careful not to take for granted? because it's early days. >> no, we don't take it for granted, which is why in his education policy you saw him triple money for title i schools. he's for a summer jobs program. all of his policy recommendations and his vision is centered on working people. when we talk about working clasclas class, most times people think we're talking about white, working class voters but we're not. we're talking about all working class voters and those that aspire to be in the working class. >> you wactched last night. i wonder what you think of elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and marianne williamson essentially saying shoot for the moon. why are you fellow democrats running on these moderate messages that say what we can't do, not what we can do. how does joe biden respond to that, even not on the same stage? but how does he tell voters, i'm not going to pr

what's in the plan that kamala harris has laid out for us?re i get to that i want to show you quickly what's happening here. we're in a section of detroit. this is an area where there are quite a few small businesses. you can take a look at the inside picture. she's smiling and ordering coffee cake, having tea, and really just taking a break from debate prep. this is the same morning that she rolled out a new health care plan, and to get to some of those questions, kate, what she is putting in black and white, she is putting in ink is a plan that scales up the current medicare system. it is a plan that puts her squarely between joe biden and bernie sanders. this plan that harris has rolled out involved traditional medicare. it's a program that we all refer to as the government program, but it also leaves a roll for private insurance. now, currently there is a private insurance program that approximately a third of medicare enrollees can buy into. it's called medicare advantage. she wants to scale that up. this is definitely a difference from

he has endorsed kamala harris for president. angela rye, andrew gillum, and april ryan. popular demand. >> hey! >> your panel was so hot yesterday. >> we try. >> debauchery. >> no. >> it was mildly debauched. but angela, you never pull punches. who won last night? >> elizabeth warren. >> amen. >> absolutely no question. elizabeth warren was a strong contender last night. i was surprised. she always comes off very wonkish to me. for a good reason, she's brilliant. but last night she killed it. >> i couldn't agree more. i thought she was -- i loved the personal narrative as the people she's encountered along the trail. it shows she's listening.jectin folks. she's gone out of her way to be as accessible in the way she's describing these proposals as she can. >> though it's hard for her to spin the yarn in the amount of time. >> it was an issue for a number of people. i love cnn. it was tough to get through that from a timing standpoint. i've got to give honorable mention to pete buttigieg. i know y'all just had him on. but the brother came ready, prepared to deliver. i'm go

hat this gusense can take me, and that is threatening when he has people like elizabeth warren or kamala harris or mor pete work not been able to go toe to toe with nahim on the natstage like joe biden has. definitely at the front of his mind. it is locked in ere for the president, however. laura: you so much for joining us. brittany: thank you so much for having me. laura: in other news, venezuela's supreme court has released 22 people from prison, including a high-profile judge and an investigative journalist critical o president nicolas maduro. it comes as the united nations issued a damning report accusing venezuela of kiofing thousand people unlawfully. the u.s. economy created more than 200,000 new jobs in june. the figure is far higher than exhcted, and the robust gro has eased fears of an econoc slowdown promptedtay poor jobs in may. the professional and business services sector gave the biggest boost to the jobs numbers. hundreds have taken part in a rally in hong kong by mothers supporting young peoo have been demonstrating against the beijing-backed government. student grps di

he still has an opportunity to win. kamala harris is a beast. she's not one to be played with or toyed with. she came, ran the gamut and everybody needs to be afraid, especially donald trump. >> she's a tough hardcore prosecutor. i don't think trump is shaking in his boots. >> he needs to be. >> she hasn't shown any ability to be spontaneous, a lot of those attacks were preplanned and canned. wait till trump comes at her from all angles. if you look at it objectively, the flip-flopping, the apologizing. the hair sniffing. a lot of these problems have surfaced in the first two months of him announcing and then you have the first debate which he bombs. i just don't see it going up from here. >> no, i don't either. it's an example to right now of the identity politics that has taken hold of the democratic party. here's a guy that was the vice president for the first african american president of the united states. he's being called a racist? >> doesn't make any sense. >> yeah. he said he was against bussing all the time. he was against it because t

has best chance of beating him? according to same abc news "washington post" poll, joe biden leads president by 14 points. kamala harris up by 8, liz warren by 7, bernie sanders up by 6, pete buttigieg up by 4, but president has one thing on his side. the economy. 51% of people in same poll say he is handling it well, if it stays strong it may will all he needs to win, president's campaign team told abc news yesterday that the and the in a stronger position to win reelection than president obama or president reagan were, we'll debate that. is team trump right to be confident? joining me. should trump be happy over the poll numbers? or is there a dark cloud on the horizon. >> he should be happy with this news, he has a record high in approval on the economy. at 51%, that he has improved his standing since april, that if you look at all of other polling in all other data is good news for him, should he be confident he could win? no. any politician worth their salt tell you like you run the race like you are 10 behind all of the time, try to win over voters out of your coalition, and urge your voters you need all h

quinnipiac has kamala harris just two points behind joe biden. roger, to you. top tier. arguably the woman on the rise now. what does she do with that 20%? does she take it out for a spin or just keep trying to add to it? >> first off, thanks so much for having me, leland. any candidate who sees a bump like this would be well served by keeping their head down and focusing on the organizing work. especially in iowa and the new hampshire and south carolina and nevada. there is a major counter component to this, that a lot of folks don't focus on too much. on our side, it's very easy to peek too early or peaked too late. i grew up working for john kerry, and you could very well say that governor dean peaked too early in 2003 and 2004. a lot of people say if the iowa caucuses were a week earlier, a john edwards would have one. so he peaked too late. my point and that is that you want to take advantage of these moments. you want to booster lists and raise some money. but i don't want it to bring things to a full boil just yet. that's what you want to do sometime aft

red sox game most democrats seemed to enjoy talking about policy and the campaign has been incredibly substantive. kamala harris has a plan for households and senator e-elizabeth warren was so excited to discuss the plan to tax the wealthy that she could hardly contain herself >> thank you, senator warren for being here how the do you plan to make sure the rich pay their fair share of the taxes? >> whoa! >> seth: whoa, taxes that question was elizabeth warren's mardi gras. i've seen more than walking up to chris cuomo at a party and sawing do you know anything about cross fit? while the polls have stayed mostly flat, warren was stock has been rising and that's caught the attention of both the democratic front runner, joe biden and president trump. >> new polling shows warren's economic message is resonating with voters. in the latest nbc news "wall street journal" poll, 26% say they're enthusiastic that's a six-point bump from last month it might explain why biden's team is also reportedly getting worried about her rise, and president trump's campaign is zeroing in on the threat that she could pose >> co

he has endorsed kamala harris, we should note. and jess mcintosh, former director of communications outreach for the hillary clinton campaign. jess, look. $25 million is a ton of money, period. and then also just $25 million for a guy no one really had heard of six months ago, even more extraordinary. >> he had a wonderful debate performance. i was expecting him to bring in a large haul. this is a very large haul. i think it reminds us that most americans had not tuned in before this debate. probably still most americans haven't tuned in. but those who did watch the debate, we saw that pete buttigieg was the second most googled candidate after kamala in that second round. they were just learning who this man was. he comported himself amazingly. he called out republicans very thoughtfully for hypocrisy on christianity. which given the deaths at the border and the detention centers, people were looking for that argument to be made. the people who tuned in saw somebody they didn't know they would like to get to know more. >> what doe

senator elizabeth warren has 50% backing, kamala harris 12%, and an bernie sanders at 11%. nearly every candidate took shots at biden during the first debate, including harris who called them out for the voting record on issues related to race. this time, biden says he will not hold back. >> i was probably overly polite. and the way i didn't respond. >> my mother raised me to be to to be polite. i intend to be polite. >> biden and harris take the stage night two of the debates which is tomorrow. >>> present's pick to be the next vice chairman forcefully denied the day after of allegations of sexual assault by a female officer. this happened during his nomination hearing before senate lawmakers. his accusers had just feet away. the army colonel alleges he made unwanted sexual advances towards her in 2017 when she was under his command. >> the full truth was revealed in the process. sexual assault happens in the military, it just did not happen in this case. >> when asked what he would do, he said i don't know, he is a decades to talk about it. he could not come up with what

rushed to defend a rival senator kamala harris after some on social media questioned her racial identity including the president's son donald trump, jr. andrea mitchell has the story >> reporter: kamala harris riding a wave since her break out debate performance she's now facing tweets challenging her identity as a black american to speak out on race >> as the only black person on this stage, i would like to speak on the question of race. >> donald trump jr. tweeting thts true wow, questioning whether harris is african-american. the president's elder son later deleted the tweet, a spokesman saying once folks saw he was misconstruing the intent of the tweet, he quickly deleted it but trump's senior adviser katrina pearson also tweeted obama is actually african-american kamala harris is not who is best to speak for the african-american community in february harris compared a tax like this to the birther movement the president once championed >> this is the same thing they did to barack. >> yes >> this is not new to us >> reporter: harris' rivals are leaping to her defense >> you see what they do, put something out there, and then he deletes it so that he c

the big story senator kamala harris has shot up to second place after her widely-praised debate performance. elizabeth warren has also gone up significantly and is in third place within the margin of error with harris. senator bernie sanders rounding out the top four, also going down. david chalian is at the magic wall, and wow, the debates had a huge impact on this very fluid race. >> no doubt about it, jake. you just were going through this new shuffled race here. this poll was taken entirely after both of those nights of debating took place in miami last week. and we've got a top tier here. you see biden's need -- lead has significantly narrowed, 22%, harris at 17%, warren at 15%, sanders at 14%, nobody else cracks 5% in this poll. the change over time, joe biden down 10 percentage points since may. and kamala harris and elizabeth warren doubling support, harris up nine and warren up 8 and sanders down 4 and buttigieg about even and down 1 point since may. what is behind some of biden's support, why he still holds the narrow lead? the african-american vote is still critical to him. 36% a

question about whether he is the guy to go up against donald trump in the fall. >> julie: has a every thing to lose. kamala harris has everything to gain. when you ask who most is at risk, would you agree it's bide biden? >> i think biden. i do think you have these other candidates on the outskirts really have to make a mark. they have to really make a moment. that's tough in the scenario with ten people on the stage, as we saw in miami. angling for time. as a debate moderator, that's the biggest challenge. to make sure it's fair but also interesting for the viewers and voters. >> julie: kirsten gillibrand came out recently, and i think it's because she is pulling so low, she's trying to get that name recognition. the more we talk about them on tv they might think the more chances there chances their notoriety might help them in the polls. she made a comment -- and i'm wondering how this comes up in the debate -- that she went after democratic rival. she didn't mention names but they said many would rather see a woman work at home and they are not comfortable with single women work outside the home. what w

but i do think that, you know, trying to label joe biden a racist subtly as cory booker has done or as kamalaris has done or attack his history, i just don't think those attacks are particularly effective. people are worrying about health care. they're worrying about jobs. they're worrying about their kids' education and future. they're not going to buy an argument that joe biden is just an old white racist. >> well, we'll have to see. the election is coming up. i wish i could hear more from you, david. don't miss the cnn democratic presidential debates next tuesday and wednesday nights. dana bash, don lemon and jake tapler moderate july 30th and 31st beginning at 8:00 p.m. eastern. >>> now a shock photo leads to the suspension of three ole miss students from their fraternity. but does their punishment match the desecration of a memorial to the young emmett till? i'll make my case, next. so rich and creamy? oh it's a philadelphia-- family recipe. can i see it? no. philadelphia dips. so good, you'll take all the credit. be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just

but then also when it comes to the kamala harris and joe biden matchup, joe biden has to be very careful attacks her because we're expecting an attack. how he attacks kamala harris because, one, she is a black woman. there is a difference for her to be in this space, this rarefied space. he also has to remember too, the albatross of anita hill still hangs on his neck. for kamala harris, she has to be very careful going after him because she could look like a bully. so both of them have to go into this being very strategic and how to fight the battle. her prosecutorial record, if he goes after her, she said to me in new orleans, look, my family is a civil rights family. i grew up in civil rights and i understand the dynamic. that's what she's going to try to fall back on. >> he tried in that first debate to say i was a defender. you could tell he was about to go in to take issue with her record as a prosecutor, which is a vulnerability for her. but i wonder if he'll do that again. he's already shown his cards. >> i think april has a point but i do want to say i know there's a lot of atten

presidential candidates senator kamala harris has just unveiled her medicare for all plan.nn's kyung lah is in detroit with all of the details. >> reporter: it is a plan as fresh as the top of the hour. let's note the timing of this. this is being released a day before the democratic debate starts. she has been criticized for weeks now about what exactly does she believe? well, she is now putting it on paper. here is her plan. it is a medicare for all plan. kamala harris in a post that published top of the hour. it puts her squarely between joe biden and bernie sanders. because it scales up the current medicare system. it leaves in place what we know as the traditional medicare program. but in today's medicare, there's also private insurance. a private insurance option known as medicare advantage. about a third of medicare enrollees take advantage of that. so under harris' plan, there is a place for private insurance. that's very different from bernie sanders who would eliminate all private insurance. the second thing she does is she expands the transition time. under berni

sanders in decline, and warren and kamala harris are on the rise the quinnipiac poll shows democrats are rethinking who is the most electable candidate. asked who has the best chance of winning against president trump, joe biden is seen as the stronge strongest with 42% but that's dropped from 56% in april. senator kamala harris has risen 12 points to 14% in this poll, while bernie sanders holds relatively steady at 13%. elizabeth warren is on the rise as well, up 6 points to 9%. in iowa, a usa today suffolk university poll puts biden in the lead with 24%, and harris in second at 16%. warren there at 13%, and sanders who nearly shocked hillary clinton in the 2016 caucuses, in fourth place with 9%. buttigieg, amy klobuchar and senator booker also register in this poll which counts toward qualifying for the third debate in september. so kristen, let's go back to the first set of polls, we can get to iowa in just a second, but the quinnipiac poll lining up with what we saw yesterday in a cnn poll, which is joe biden down and kamala harris rising quickly. >> that's right. i think a lot of this is in part is people giving the broader field a look after

has been identified as one of the victims. >> the back-and-forth between joe biden and kamala harris has taken a new turn.ris is now on the defensive. ( cheers and applause ) >> big comeback win at wimbledon for coco gauff. >> i always knew i could come back, no matter what the score is

what has been interesting since last debate where everyone sat on tv opining that kamala harris landed the biggest debate blow. it has gone away. kennedy: why was she not able to maintain the poll bump. >> most kamala harris is having a little bit of what mitt romney had, people say, i like her, bt i'm not sure what she stands for. this healthcare plan has a lot of veteran in the obama administration backing it. kennedy: this is what joe biden has been saying and john delaney, they have all said the same thing. >> who are they? >> everything. important thing that what joe biden is doing, health care he calls it obamacare. you are not going on be able to separate, he has to and he wants to, there is so much no nostalga for president obama i worry about candidates that thinking about running away from legacy, and things name obamacare. kennedy: tough to know what to run with something or when to run away from it. wa would knock joe biden off his perch. >> him looking like he lacks command and authority. you notion that kamala harris will detract from joe biden. she -- you know they have

bakari sellers has endorsed kamala harris. so because of that, i'm starting with you. this certainly is not the first time that senator harris has faced questions about her race. i want to play this clip from a couple months ago when she was asked about her identity during that identity with the breakfast club. >> i'm glad you mentioned barack. a lot of black people questioned if barack was black enough. i see them doing the same thing to you. so what do you say to people questioning the legitimacy of your blackness? >> i think they don't understand who black people are. i'm not going to spend my time trying to educate people about who black people are. i was born black, i will die black. and i'm proud of being black. and i'm not going to make any excuses for anybody. because they don't understand. >> so you have a number of, you know, 2020 hopefuls, also condemning this tweet, immediately comparing it to birtherism, which was racist. how concerned are you, though, that this narrative about, you know, her race, her identity, could actually have long-term and negative im

debate, some polling information backing it up this week, it seems that joe biden has stabilized his position and kamalae top tier right now. what are you expecting wednesday? >> i expect fireworks in detroit. and i expect -- particularly, you got cory booker on the same stage. they're actually on either side of him. that's going to be a great little clip of his reactions to what they say. i think joe biden would benefit by just focusing on trump and not trying to kind of respond to these attacks from cory booker and kamala harris, because they'll come. he needs to prepared to defend his record, he has a challenging record on racial issues and on women. i think he needs to focus on -- >> on racial issues? >> oh, yeah. we were talking about busing and we were talking about his relationship with segregationists. cory booker is now talking about the crime bill and the impact on the african-american community. it's a challenging position for him for him to push back on cory booker and kamala harris it looks like he's having a fight with what the black community really believes. >> i think the democrats shou
