harris, really excited. you know, professor johnson, i am an aka. these are people under 25 and that is going to be the difference in this campaign. joe biden is isn't galvanizing gen-z, you know. elizabeth warren may have been able to, stacey abrams may have been able to. so that's what she is going to head out to do. that will be her number one responsibility in this campaign. taking down the republicans isn't going to be a problem because they have already screwed things up. they have killed 160,000 folks. they have failed to manage a pandemic that has killed 160,000 people. but senator harris' job is go out into the nooks and crannies, those places where young people don't have jobs at verizon, their jobs at chipolte, didn't get to fwraj wait this spring, still at home, and she has to convince those people she will end up making a difference. i think she can, but senator harris sit down with protesters that we have in minneapolis, with protesters that we have in oregon, she is going to have to look young people in the eye and say, look, my recor

at the very top, you have lyndon johnson signed the civil rights you had harry truman who desegregated the army. abraham lincoln, who freed the slaves. but it is typical of the way trump will cast himself as some sort of superhero who has done amazing feats no one else has ever done before. michelle, last night we saw something we had never seen in modern american history and that is a president of the united states using the white house as an's of a renomination to the office. we have been talking all week about the hatch act and its violations. an opinion colleague said there is no big deal and nothing to see here, but you recently wrote about the potential violations committed i federal employees like a ivanka trump. reportingabout your and whether those employees have put themselves in any kind of legal jeopardy. >> all week, we saw the president leverage the power of the presidency for political purposes, like airing the naturalization ceremony, an official pardoning ceremony at the political convention. last nightcall made with the backdrop of the white house and we saw the event

before we get final thoughts with jason johnson on this is that kamala harris is going to show joe biden'ss man enough, strong enough, confident enough to bring on somebody as capable as him with real skills, with real chops and who has challenged him. and i think that's a reflection of joe biden that is extremely positive. kamala harris, from my own personal experience, is very concerned about equality, women's issues. she spoke at one of my know your value events, and i think john haman made the point on the show today that she has unbelievable retail politic skills before she even walked in the room, the crowd went wild upon hearing her name. so, she's got that magnetism that often is very useful on a campaign trail when there's not a pandemic. jason johnson, your thoughts? >> i've got to say this. i am somebody who -- i've been critical of senator harris at various times in the past but her retail political skills are amazing. i mept met her in the green room and she charmed the heck out of me. i always thought she was the best person for the job. i'm glad we say the best person of the

harris. and we're joined now by the president of the naacp, derrick johnson. hanks so much for doing this. we appreciate it. kamala harris's selection as joe biden's running mate is historic. let's listen to senator harris in her own words. >> by joe asking me to be his running mate, he has pushed forward something that might've otherwise taken decades if you just track the progress that we've had so far. and what it means is the significance of it is an understanding by joe and what will be, god along, our administration about the need to be conscious about the disparities that exist, be conscious about the systemic racism that exists, be conscious about the active and affirmative acts that must take place to actually get closer to an equitable and fair society. >> derrick, what's your reaction to seeing a woman of color reach this milestone? >> well, i've been getting the energy from african-american women all across the country this week. i feel a lot of energy, excitement. many of our foundational organizations that are women-led, whether it is our sororiti

he fought with harry truman and dwight eisenhower and john kennedy and lyndon johnson before the end of his life he would pass and have them attached to 65 major deals, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, art programs, the upward bound program. he never got along well with southerners. he could not find it in himself. the life of martin luther king junior. in 1956 there was this wonderful rally of madison square garden, king and many of his followers were there. but it was new york, a congressman, expected to be treated righteously. a little bit about that event, that rally. it was with a degree of fanfare that a massive civil rights rally was staged at madison square garden on may 20 fourth 1956. eleanor roosevelt, a philip randolph, corey wilson and powell. the familiar gang of four knew the hall will, participated in many rallies under its old roof. in the midst of this rally, a philip randolph, adam clayton powell, had yet to arrive. many in the audience came here, randolph, found out powell was across the street waiting in a hotel to make an entrance. randolph realized there was no

however many are asking if senator harris transforms the ticket and gives biden the boost to beat donald trump. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson has more reaction coming in overnight. we are in a unique position because kamala harris is oneown from san francishat we have to matters. >> reporter: exactly. good morning. there's nothing like seeing one of your own rise through the ranks and that's what we're having a chance to witness with kamala harris being selected as the vice president nominee. the folks here, she got the start in san francisco. and the folks here in the area are showing her support. harris started here in san francisco and this morning folks here are showing their support for her. harris started as district attorney in san francisco before moving on to become the state attorney general and then senator representing california. now this hometown girl born in oakland, grew up in berkeley where a mural in her honor now stands near her childhood home. in the minutes after the announcement was made, local leaders and those from her hometown shared their excitement on this historic selection. >> it is important to

believe, this was going to make us feel old, she was born two weeks before, kamala harris was, two weeks before lyndon johnson was elected in 1964. even that has some poetry. as you and i have discussed, you can hear it on the johnson tapes. 1968, hubert humphrey was dominated by the democrats. lbj called off humphrey, said i think you should choose at vice president daniel inua from hawaii. he thought about it, for 1968 said it was a bridge too far. look how far we've come. what a wonderful day. >> similarly, when he called lbj to say i'm going to choose ed muskie, there's an almost identifiable let down in johnson's energy as he took in the news, but asked hubert humphrey, if you talked to him, prayed on it, walked around, thought about it, if he's your choice, he's your choice. michael because we're in a visual medium looking at the books on your shelves, the coin of the historian's realm is mostly black and white photographs. >> right. >> this changes the picture. >> it's just like barack obama would talk about in 2008. yes, if i'm elected, those place mats that kids have, my kids have these place mats, i

johnson professor of politics and journalism at morgan state university and a contribu contribu contributor. welcome to you all. dr. hotez, your topic leads this hour. your opinion on what biden and harris are calling for, a national mask mandate as opposed to the policy of lack thereof we've seen thus far? >> this is what we've been missing from the white house this whole year, is having a national strategy, national unification about what we need to do. this, as you point out, has led to the worst covid epidemic anywhere on the planet. the united states still remains today the epicenter of the epidemic with just in the seven days we lead the world in new coronavirus cases and new coronavirus deaths with this terrible number yesterday with 1,400 deaths or more. we need to take action. we've been calling for a national strategy. what the biden and harris team has called for is a good first step. let's have masks on everyone which can prevent the number of cases of increasing. the unknown part about the masks is whether that's enough to really bring it down to where we can safely open up schools, especially in the southern states where the epidemic is still raging and whether we'll need

record, i mean, whether they're talking about harry truman desegregated ne american military,ble act in the middle of a presidential campaign, while lyndon johnson passing the landmark civil rights act of 1964 and '65, i mean, the democrats really have a sterling record in defending those laws as wellle,er pd donald trum and the republicans really can't compete with it. so those credentials are established, but they have to also eablish the fact that w are here to protect the safety of ordinary citizens from mobs i mean, that's what has happened in a number of places, whether it's destroying small businesse tting -- threatening people at the same time. about the coronavirusthink it's important to remember this, that while the republicans were convening at the white house, the people's house, as ronald reagan caenlled it, whomebody said, your white house is a no e-no, it's the people's white use. more americans died in the coronavirus ndemic than on 9/11 or pearl hair door. that was central and will dfine this campaignism david, how do you see the democrats handling what they're hearing from their constituents, many of them, saying what are you g

johnson. michael and jason are msnbc contributors. andrea, one word we keep hearing over and over again about kamala harris is energy.rgy she brought to the campaign trail, the energy she brings to an interview. now we know already the energy she is bringing to fund-raising. she just tweeted saying she's honored to be joe biden's running mate, but also saying hey, we've got a virtual fund-raiser tonight, pitch in. how do you see her energy being channeled? >> oh, that is a big factor. remember when jim clyburn said that joe biden has passion for the issues, but he lacks energy, that he has empathy but lacks passion. he wanted somebody with energy and charisma. that she has, and she's a great campaigner. you saw that kickoff in oakland with 20,000 people. yes, the organization faltered along the way in her own campaign, but the fact is, she complements joe biden in bringing that kind of energy, and she's also a prosecutor, and with that she can really go after president trump and the administration's men, the attorney general as we have seen, as she debuted when she was on the judiciary committee during the kavanaugh

johnson, you know, partnership. we know how they were rivals. and joe biden has said he has long forgiven kamala harrisng after him, michael, in that first debate. >> right. but it's -- you put your finger on it. it is really important for joe biden to pick someone he has personal chemistry with. none of us on the outside can know who that is. we will know very soon. i write in that "washington post" column today about the fact that in 2004, john kerry, the democratic nominee, was prevailed upon to choose john edwards who would run against him in the primary. kerry privately was uneasy. he felt that edwards, he said, didn't add up. he felt he was undependable. at the last minute he even called up ted kennedy and said, make the case for chris dodd who is helping biden this year, although dodd was from a neighboring state, another catholic liberal. so all this happens. history shows us a lot, but each vice presidential selection unfolds in its own way. we'll see that soon. >> michael beschloss, shawna thomas, great to have you both. and that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." stay tun

harris and susan rice. joining our conversation "washington post" contributor former democratic congresswoman donna edwards and professor of politics jason johnson. he's an msnbc political contributor. i think vp selection is worthless and my palin experience makes it traumatic. what are your thoughts? are we skipping over the a-ha of this? these are two qualified women. one of them will face off against mike pence and that should send fear through the entire trump organization, donna. >> well it should. when i think about the choices the former vice president has, he's had a tremendous array of talent in front of him. this comes down to a deeply personal choice, as well as a political one. if i were mike pence, i would really worry. frankly donald trump should worry. part of the role of the vice presidential nominee is to be able to get out there, be on the stump and hammer away at president trump. i think either of these two women, and others, would do exactly that. i don't like to speculate. i'm really looking forward to the choice. >> you know, jason, i know that normal candidates look for a partner to run the country should they win. i repo

johnson, a former senior aide to elizabeth warren's campaign. good to see you. after last week's rnc, what do the biden and harris team need to focus on in the final of the race? >> well, sitting there, first of all, sitting there watching him violate the hatch act over and over without any accountability was frustrating. but also to see the play that he has been using. he being the occupant in the white house, donald trump, him using the plight of black america for his political gain. the reality is we've seen historically, he doesn't care about black people. he has pushed for policies and positions that have harmed black people when he was a business leader and now as president. and so the biden/harris campaign needs to show what it is they are going to do to make things better for black folks and they put out a very comprehensive plan. and i know they're having more conversations. i am actually offended that donald trump would go to wisconsin in the middle of such chaos and stoke more fear and insight more violence because that is what he has done. while you have someone on the flip side like joe biden who is

johnson. >> we are giving alice a full pardon. >> the president refused to comment on the march and the protesters hopes to end police brutality. a subject kamala harrisddressed. >> as we continue to see black men and women slain in the streets and left behind by a justice system that too often denied black folks our dignity and rights and will share our anger and pain and no doubt they will turn it in to fuel. >> the president and his team are trying to have it both ways with mr. trump hammering away his law and order message. the republican party condemns the rioting, looting and arson that we have seen in democrat-run cities. >> mr. trump is actually a compassionate leader. >> i just wish that everyone could see the deep empathy that he shows to families whose loved ones were killed in senseless violence. >> we are focusing on the science, facts and data. >> reporter: that is not true, hundreds of supporters sitting side by side with few masks in site as one official told cnn everyone will catch this thing eventually. mark meadows said attendees were there at their own risk. people together, the willingness that you make choices individually. >> an

johnson/humphrey years that was his immediate predecessors. we're at the same point now from a nixon the a trump, and kamala harris has kind of closed that circle more that mrs. c started by going against what president trump has done who, in many ways, has a nixon type of administration. and this time we made it to the vice presidential nomination and we certainly have mobilized it further. but there are parallels from nixon to president trump to shirley chism to kamala harris. and kamala harris is able to bring us another step in that trajectory of being able to assume a nation that could elect people, that will not be limited by gender or race. >> yeah, president trump has managed to be richard nixon and journal wallace at the same time. >> a little more wallace than nixon sometimes. >> a lot more wallace. let's play what kamala harris said today about the women who came before her. >> after the most competitive primary in history, the country received a resounding message that joe was the person to lead us forward. and joe, i'm so proud to stand with you. and i do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me. their sacrifice m
