a big warning sign for democrats, jared golden represents maine's second district. k it just goes to show how potentially, you know, democrats and independence, republicans, are rereacting to this in a swing district. on top of that, i think there is this, you know, these growing chorus -- growing chorus of complaints from democrats about how the biden campaign and, you know, others in the democratic establishment are responding to this news. i think a lot of people, independent voters and some of these democrats feel as if they have been gaslit when it comes to their reaction to president biden's debate. and i think that's why you are finally seeing some of these democrats come around and say okay, it was a really bad night, the problem is i don't know how you necessarily recover from that night at this point. >> bret: you know, trey, forget about coat tails for the election for some of these people in congress and the house and senate, they are worried about a devastating effect at the top of the ticket affecting them. and i sense that some of them are waiting for

democrat is not against the victory of the republican trump, these are the words of representative jared goldeney are cited by a local maine newspaper. goldon is confident that biden will lose, and the outcome of the election is obvious. the embarrassment of the heads of the white house and politics, however, does not bother them. the democratic representative stressed that he does not plan to vote for donald trump. the united states plans to announce a new package of military assistance to kiev for... habok doesn’t want to hear, electricity prices in germany are about 2,000 euros per megawatt per hour due to the crisis in the industry , about 80 mercedes dealerships in germany are put up for sale , tens of thousands of people may be left without work, there is only one way out, protest. but scholz is busy with ukraine, all his strength is there. germany and poland are among the largest supporters of ukraine in political and military relations, we will help our ally, no matter the cost. and it is expensive, so much so that the german military has already declared that berlin will not can even p

maine congressman jared golden.aine written a op-ed piece for banger, maine newspaper. he wrote a piece donald trump will win the election and democracy will be fine. >> this wise words, if you look at that debate performance, and you see the path for democrats to replace joe biden, which are almost impossible. but this looks like it will be an l for democrats, the smart move be classy, take that thei lrchti l and regroup. >> and chris, another one lloyd doggett, moderate democrat from the state of texas, he is out there is aing that b there saying that biden should not run. what do you make of that? >> the beginning of the break in the dam, first few days after debate there was a lot of this fantasy from democrat and reporter and media, idea to small cap joe biden out for whitmer or newsom that is fantasy talk, if you get rid of joe biden you are stuck with kamala harris. you saw congressman james clyburn saying you cannot skip over ca kamala. larry: they hkamala. >> you know, alex. if you vote for joe biden, and j

jared golden of maine said it also did not rattle me as it has others because the outcome of this election has been clear to me for months. while i don't plan to vote for him, donald trump is going to win and i'm okay with that. i mean he's okay with that, jason, your thoughts? >> you've got a democrat in congress saying he's okay with that, look, the new york post in just the last few minutes posted the story thinking there may be as many as 25 democrats about to come out with a letter calling on the president to step down. it's a sad day, a scary moment, because this is the united states of america. you need to be able to answer that phone with the greatest mental acuity at any moment. for kjp to stand there and say definitively she knows the answer to that, a follow-up from the press has to be how do you know that, because you been longing to us for the last three and a half years. how do you know that he does not have this, why is it the doctor going before the microphone, why isn't joe biden holding a press conference. for the entire year he hasn't had a solo press conference. >> jess

you know, alex, come back to you, i don't know if you saw this, maine congressman jared golden, he ise democrat from maine, has written an op-ed pies for the bangor, maine newspaper, bangor, maine, newspaper. titled, donald trump will win the election and democracy will be just fine, alex. he is jumping ship on this, alex, what do you make of that? >> this is kind of wise words. if you look at the debate performance and you see the paths to replace president joe biden are almost all impossible, we could spend an hour going through all of them, this looks like be an l for democrats, the smart move, be classy, take the l and regroup. they're in such headwinds for the rest of the year. this is the first kind of sense call take i've seen written out making that case. larry: yeah, chris, there is another one, lloyd dogett, moderate democrat to the state of texas, he is out there saying that biden should not run. i believe he is the first congressman to say biden should not run, what do you make of that, chris? >> it is beginning of the break in the dam. you know for the first few days afte

you, two house colleagues on the democratic side are calling for biden to drop out of the ways, jared goldenmaine and lloyd dogito texas. there's a report from reuters that claims there could be 25 democrats calling for biden to step aside and they will do so in particular if he seems shaky in the next few days. do you think that pawn is going to drop out of this -- president biden is going to drop out of this race. >> shaky they the next few days? what about for the last few years. for over a year now we've been saying that joe biden is not fit for office and it wouldn't be a surprise if they r replaced him. after this debate performance where the cognitive decline was on full display, now they're paying you atension, now they recognize there's a problem? i was the first republican that spoke to him at the state of the union when he walked into the room and look, i'm not trying to be disrespectful. but the lights were on and nobody was home. now they're faced with this election. could they replace him at their convention? yes, they could. but then the problem is the money. they raised all t

you can see seth moulton on there, jared golden. is he going to listen? it seemed to me yesterday was the moment where the party started to get behind -- not enthuse if yeahs click, but to unite around bide biden because he told them too. stuart sort at the moment he's still saying, i'm in. house democrats still divided over biden's future. i want you to listen to what congressman steve cohen had to say about it. >> are you all on the same page? >> no. >> what do you mean your not on the same page? >> we're not own on the same book. stuart: charlie hurt joins me now. charlie -- [laughter] it's stalemate. they're split. if how long can this go on for? >> well, it's truly extraordinary, and and we've never seen anything like this in 50 years of -- at least 50 years. yeah, they are deeply guyeded and, you know -- divided, and you have to sort of temper some of the things they're saying because, obviously, they want to try to pressure joe biden to get out. people like steve cohen or maybe not steve cohen, but certainly senator bennet wants to pressure joe bid

lauren: it's congressman jared golden of maine, a democrat.an op-ed in the bangor daily news, donald trump is going to win the election, and democracy will be just fine. while i don't plan to vote for him, donald trump is going to win, and i'm okay with that. he's accepted what may be inevitable, and he's telling his party stop wetting the bed, guys. trump will not destroy the american democratic system s. and, guess what? we're going to have to work with him to also focus on the economy. here's the deal. it's not just the presidential election in november. the house is up for re-election. golden's district, the cook political report considers it a toss-up. trump carried it by 6 points 4 years ago so he's coming around, saying this might be the new reality. it might not be that a bad. we're going to have to work with it. ashley: playing both sides of the fence a little bit. lauren, thank you very much. let's bring heather brach back into this. heather, do the markets want to see a donald trump win in november? >> yeah, well, i mean, if you loo

this comes as who two the democrat congressmen, lloyd doggett and jared golden, publicly declare they have no confidence in biden's ability to win and serve another term. if well, the press also seems to be turning. reporters yesterday white house press secretary karine jean-pierre about the president's mental fitness for nearly an hour yesterday. the white house claims, hey, the president just with had a bad night and, oh, yeah, he had a cold as a well. meanwhile, biden telling donors he almost fell asleep at the debate. he blamed his travel schedule even though all of that was weeks earlier. this friday president biden will sit for his first interview since that disastrous performance and, by the way, president biden's also a going to heat with governors who are gathering at the white house today. it's all part of an aggressive campaign to try and salvage the the president's re-election bid. the white house also confirming, by the way, in the middle of all of in that hunter biden has been sitting in on these meetings. great. all right, take a look at the markets. as cheryl mentioned

then democratic congressman jared golden from maine represents a district trump won in 2016 and 2020he had no comments on biden's chances of beating trump in november. here's the president's schedule today today and in the days ahead. take a look. today he has lunch with vice president harris. on thursday, tomorrow, of course, our nation's birthday. july 4th celebrating independence day. on friday the president is scheduled for a sitdown interview with abc news and george stephanopoulos. remember, he sat down with stephanopoulos during the afghanistan withdrawal and talked about that. and that is the schedule for the president in the days ahead, guys. send it back to you. >> steve: all right. lucas. thank you very much. it's interesting because there are a bunch of stories out this morning just about how and we have got some headlines to show you just about how essentially this is a white house in crisis. the headline from the "new york times," biden's team scrambles to contain first democratic defections, the "new york times" also, big donors turn on biden quietly. the hill says bid

you've already seen some multiple democrats were there's murray glues and kept perez on washington, jared golden and may come out and say, trump's going to win. we're okay with that. that's going to happen. that's their way of distance himself from bought it because they are so vulnerable. republicans are salivating right now at the idea of this happening, republicans are telling us, i've heard from many of them that this is something that they have wanted to have wanted. they tried to do this forever. but no one would believe there's ridicule proposing these videos online. people called him quote, unquote cheap fakes and now it happened right before the americans people eyes on the debate stage. they're going to use this to tie basically almost all vulnerable democrats directly to joe biden let's turn to former president trump now, and he is attempting to distance himself from project 2025. this really long plan from the heritage foundation many things in their cracking down on immigration, making it easier to fire these career civil servants several other things how credible is that considerin

so you're your colleague from main congressman jared golden, a democrat who represents a district that donald trump wins. he just wrote an op-ed titled, donald trump is going to win the election. and democracy will be just fine. hi, unquote, he writes in the op-ed, pearl-clutching about a trump victory ignores the strength of our democracy january 6, 2021 was a dark day, but americans stood strong this election is about the economy, not democracy. and when it comes to our economy, our congress matters far more than who occupies the white house, unquote in terms of january 6 or something of an expert, you're the former chairman of the january 6 select house committee. what's your response to your fellow democrat well, every member of congress rafah, he has heard district i'm sure that congressperson for main is representing the wishes of his district most of us either democrats or republicans. >> but it end of the day, we have to represent our district. i respect his opinion the greatness of this country is at those differences can still keep us together. so on that issue obviously i di

we've seen like jared golden of maine, marie gluesenkamp, perez in washington, say, these are the most vulnerable democrats in the house, not wanting to say anything or trying to distance itself from her. i think they they are mean, they don't want to be tied to a progressive candidate. they have to take a more moderate stance, but i think overall and tester is a vulnerable senator they don't want to be tied necessarily to progressive policies and that is the question that i went to the leaders of the realm, the campaign committees in the house this past week about whether or not they were actually trying to the democratic side will they run away? >> should they, will they encourage our vulnerable members to run away with harris stump with her and how the republicans see it as well is it a good idea for those vulnerable democrats to align themselves with kamala harris are races have all been local races there about our candidates and the strength of our candidates. you and the this will be nationalized i think every on these congressional races, district by district, this is going to b

and another democrat, cratcongressman jared golden, ia swing district, penned this op ed, quote, donald trump is w going to win the election in theand democracy will be just fine. >> at the same time, other, ot top democrats continue to stand by their president despitepe a mountain of pressure. nancy pelosi laughablyno called biden masterful. but now even biden's pals in the mainstream media are painting a different biden. here's carl bernstein on cnn. caraccording to people you've n talking to, what are you hearing? >> well, these people yo are pe, several of them, who are very close to president biden, ple who love him, have supported him, have been among. among them are some people whoae have raised a lot of money for him. and theyf mo are adamant that ww we saw the other night to joe we saw is not a one off, that there have been 15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when and t has appeared somewhat, as he did in that s horrorho show that we witnessed. >> so biden will spend days>> k preparing for big speeches and debates, and yet he still struggle spends. on the other hand, a

well, and even i mean, congressman jared jared golden from maine was very blunt when he said he he justd donald trump is going to win the election and i'm fine with that pretty remarkable comments from him, can we take it for a second to kinda what you think in your view of hair as you pointed to the polling, i would say that the conversations that i have been having also suggest that there is something of a coalescing behind her part of its seems to be frankly, the logistics of the thing, but there is also the reality that she has been on the national stage. she has been serving in this role. she did run in a presidential primary, which as we know, is a crucible that really tests candidates. she has been more vetted on a national stage and perhaps some of these governors as talent what it is they may be just go call ron desantis and ask how it feels to be the quote, unquote front runner when you've never done it before, people may tell you, hey, watch out, this is a hard thing, but they don't tend to believe it until they actually go through it. i mean, what is your understanding of wh

hearing positive comments after he called on the president to step down, moderate congressman jared golden writing in an op-ed that he thinks donald trump is going to win in november. >> he's not the only one who has said that how does the president plan to message? how does he plan to contain it would feels like a bit of a revolt starting, right? that seems to be building in congress against him look, first of all the vision and the accomplishments that democrats are going to be running on have taken place because of joe biden's leadership. >> whether that be from the economic standpoint, whether that be from the domestic standpoint with prescription drugs are kept in the cost of things like insulin. those are so biden vision and the vision for this country for the next four years is also joe biden's vision, but i really do want to aaron, if you'll allow me to air because if you'll allow me to take a step back and really just put this in for two perspective. people continue to count joe biden out and we continue to see the president perform. most people would walk away. joe biden when he

. >> congressman jared golden questioning biden's chances in an interview with the local station. >>joe biden chooses to run, he's going to lose. >> now a third democratic lawmaker, congressman seth moulton of massachusetts, urging biden to step aside to let new leaders rise up and run against donald trump. concern over the president's fitness for office reaching a fever pitch. sources now tell abc news that, during a meeting with democratic governors at the white house earlier this week, the president said he needs to get more sleep and work fewer hours, even suggesting he should end events at 8:00 p.m. >> it wasn't a literal, 8:00, i'll be doing things to philly. it more figurative. >> california governor gavin newsom, while campaigning for biden and battleground michigan, defending the president, describing his stamina during their joint event in los angeles right after biden returned from his european tour last month. >> he barely slept. i was exhausted and got back to the hotel room and collapsed. he did that with a smile on his face. >> this is a make or break it moment for pre
