jill biden also plan to attend the working families summit today. there is a political angle here. democrats want to exploit the gender gap. it's something i pointed out about the how much better democrats are doing among women than they were this time four years ago. this is another issue to working women, an important swing vote that matters to them. >>> developing now, we could soon get some big supreme court decisions on the first attempt to limit the affordable health care act on religious grounds. the owners of hobby lobby, a chain of 500 craft stores are challenging the affordable care act. they're concerned about the requirement to provide a wide range of birth control to workers. hobby lobby's owners are evangelicals and say some contraception eliminates life. there is another a similar suit owned by a family who are mennonites. nbc news justice correspondent pete williams is live at the supreme court with more. hobby lobby is the biggest one politically, i think, when i look at it in my world, if you will, pete, about stuff that could have some traction on the campaign tr

star power they brought out for this event, the president, the first lady, the vice president and jill biden show their support for this event. you know democrats are making this a big part of their midterm strategy. so this can't hurt them. >> important issue also to be sure. kate, thanks very much. good work. >> thanks, wolf. >> you can always catch much more of kate along with chris cuomo, michaela pereira, tomorrow, every weekday morning on "new day" at 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. every morning right here on cnn. coming up at the top of the hour, the secretary of state john kerry's surprise visit to iraq as the day, crisis there deepens. we're live in the region with the latest. plus, we're also live at the world cup in brazil where the u.s. is gearing up for another nail biting showdown after a rather devastating finish. thank ythank you for defendiyour sacrifice. and thank you for your bravery. thank you colonel. thank you daddy. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance can be one of them. if you're a current or former military member or the

when jill biden and i started joining forces three years ago one of the groups we were most concerned about was our homeless vets. but the truth is we didn't really know how to get started. over the past few years we have seen federal-mogul efforts succeed and we have realized that this problem isn't too big for us to tackle. so today in addition to announcing this wonderful new effort we are issuing a call to action to americans all across the country to do their part to take this issue on. we are asking all of you out there to volunteer your time and help these veterans navigate the system and find the resources they have earned. maybe you can donate money from your business to pay a veteran security deposit. maybe then started donation drive in your community to support efforts to get vets into housing. if your mayor is an onboard yet, light up their phone lines. write it in the newspaper. we all have power to make a real difference on this issue. we have the power to change lives here. you heard that from chris. but we have another example. we have a wonderful man named doran hawk
