gretchen whitmer, amy klobuchar, secretary pete andy, beshear, rafael warnock, jared polis. it's a deep bench. but none of them will step forward if it's handed to harris how then will democrats know that they've mounted the strongest challenge to donald trump? instead, let harris sharpen her skills in town halls and debates, speeches to state delegations. i don't know, but i strongly suspect that the cable outlets, including this one, would ensure that it all happens in prime time the chicago convention, it would be the most exciting political gathering of the modern era the nation would be in throttled and you think it's all undoable. well, just remember this in the uk, they just stage an entire election in six weeks democrats have more, time than that to feel their strongest ticket. but it should come from a contest, not an anointing i want to know what you think godess were kaddish.com answer today's poll question, which would make kamala harris is stronger, democratic presidential nominee acclimation or competition of course not everyone thinks that biden should go stua

colorado governor jared polis the texas senator ted cruz, both of them saying tonight that he should everything will change from this point forward because this is a representation of something happening in this country that is now out of control. it's already gone past that point. the danger is always there for presidential candidates. but when you've crossed the line, i think it becomes incredibly apparent that that you can't take any more chances. and i think we'll see the rnc this i mean, they've said everything is going to go as planned but i cannot imagine that right now. everything is not being re-evaluated about the scope and the scale of the security around that event and not to mention former president trump also has to announce his vice president. that is an announcement that's going to happen. and whoever that person is is going to be immediately envelops by an enormous amount of security that was already going to happen. it's going to be i think exacerbated now and we have seen political violence before after ronald reagan's attempted assassination. steve scalise the int

i got my number jared polis pretty good sense of humor there. >> kamala harris has just weeks to pick a running mate and that's honestly a little bit generous. cnn's learned that former attorney general, eric holder is handling the vetting of potential running mates. so far we know that it includes arizona's mark, kelly, pennsylvania's josh shapiro, north carolina's roy cooper and others. kentucky's andy bashir, who you see there did tell cnn last night he is not yet been asked to submit vetting materials. one governor with presidential ambitions taken herself out of the running for this job are you prepared to take the vice presidency if it's offered, ma'am no, i'm not planning to go anywhere if they offered you will not take it. i am not leaving michigan. i'm proud to be the governor michigan, i've been consistent. i know everyone when has always suspicious and asking this question over and over again, i know you're doing your job. i'm not going anywhere now cnn's reporting that harris has secured enough endorsements too in the nomination panel is back. >> so look, they only have un
