joe biden in its

let's pick up in pennsylvania and talk a little bit about both midterms, but also 2020 joe biden. f the biden team's take on his 2020 aspirations? >> look, i think they're going to see how the midterms shape out, right? and i think he's going to be one of the most sought after democratic surrogates on the trail. he can go to the suburban districts and rural districts that are going to be in play that democrats need to win to win back the house. he can also go to campaign for joe manchin and campaign for claire mccaskill in missouri. campaign in florida for -- >> top-notch pronunciation on missouri. >> he can campaign for bill nelson. he can go to so many different types of places and be effective. afterwards they'll take a look at how he felt and my guess is that they are going to -- i think if you are joe biden, you have as good a shot to win the nomination as anyone else right now. >> rick tyler, from a midterm perspective, one of the trends we've been seeing at these special elections is republicans are not necessarily fighting on the positives. they are in an attempt to gin up

i'm a big joe biden fan. wherever he goes, he's able to bring in some of those folks who have been treading along the middle or, you know, supported president trump. i think that this is going to be a really exciting time for them. in some ways, it actually could, you know, at least set the -- begin to set the table for 2020. what are the issues? how do people run? who makes sense to have out there as surrogates? i think we're going to see a lot of that between now and november 6th. >> other democrat getting attention, the former secretary of state, john kerry. take a listen to what he said over the weekend. >> are you going to run in 2020? >> talking about 2020 right now is a total distraction and waste of time. what we need to do is focusen o 2018. we need to win back the confidence of the country. >> what is the future for your, for you, john kerry? >> i'll continue to be an activist and continue to fight. >> donna, he did not say no. >> no, he didn't. i think there are a lot of folks out there not saying

you know, let's talk about joe biden for a second.at he's wanted to be president. he's run. as the president has frankly rightly said, when he's run his own campaigns, they haven't gone so well. since then, he was vice president for eight years and established a different kind of relationship with democratic voters. >> yeah, that's right. and the question is does he pull the trigger. you talked to democrats, they're split about whether or not he ultimately decides to do it. i think he's probably also split about whether this is the right time. i think this presidential campaign is going to happen very quickly. it's going to take off soon after the midterms this november. you hear candidate after candidate making their intentions clear, that either they're going to do it, seriously thinking about it. this is going to be a huge democratic field. it's going to be wide open, no clear front runner. biden may be considered the most well-known name, but he may not end up being the nominee if he were to choose to run because this is such an u

joe biden, of course, is focused on the midterms, as we said.ake a decision, he and his close aides have said after the election, probably before the start of the new year. we will see. last time that dragged out a little bit in 2015. but they are pretty insistent he is going to come to a decision pretty early on. >> it's a great point that there aren't that many nationally known democrats who could appear anywhere in the country and be welcome. he looked as though he was having the time of his life. mike, thanks very much. appreciate it. >>> let's bring in michael steele, msnbc political analyst and basel schmikel, former executive director of the new york state democratic party. i want to put up a partial list of democratic 2020 candidates. joe biden, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, kamala harris, krirsen jill land, corey booker. we could go on and on and on. basel, to what extent is this early chatter and the size of this field, it seems risky to me for democrats. >> it's risky if we start, going back to what congresswoman din gallon sa din

up next, joe biden tries to rile up midterm voters with some rhetoric. greg is on it next. >> greg: joe biden, what is at stake in the midterms? everything? >> everything. it is simple. everything. we are in a fight for the soul of america. it's about time we restore dignity to work, it's about time we start treating each other like we are civilized. treating one another with respect. >> greg: he is right. it is about time we started being civil to each other. i can remember like it was yesterday when a bright young star had this to say about his republican opponents. >> going to put you all back in chains. >> greg: they are going to put you all back in chains, he said to a diverse crowd. what is he trying to suggest? could it be one of those dog whistles we keep hearing about? we all make mistakes. the biggest mistake is to pretend that before donald trump all of our politicians were dignified figures who treated each other with respect. sorry, every politician was just as bad if not worse than our current crop. they were just better at hiding their dir

and that was the moment that joe biden recalled that he and his fellow senator started to feel it was all changing. that is the time in the mid 90s when the great men and women that i remember stepped down and decided not to run again in both political parties. we lost so much of that culture and john mccain seems now so unique and irreplaceable. arguing against torture, and fellow p.o.w.s from hanoi, he lost friends for awhile for standing up to change the laws that were changed to go up against president bush and others and the administration in the iraq war. there are so many moments along the way going with cam campaign finance. that is what is sol significant about the tributes today. the paeople involved in the service, it is for those that they fought for and sought. and for them to reach out to barack obama and george w. bush is so significant. i think most notably the south carolina primary, what ended his hoping in 2000 after the succession, it was a bitter and divisive primary with terrible hate and innuendos, false accusations that were so crushing to him, his family, and

but the fact is the instinct of joe biden and instinct of the george h. w.bush white house was the same, investigate it, don't assume it's true, don't false. now look at this case. look at where we are today, despite repeated requests of the white house and the republicans for the federal bureau of investigation to look into this matter, despite repeated requests for them to ask the fbi to do this, they have refused. the republicans refuse an investigation of the charges by dr. ford. dr. ford has called for the fbi to investigate her own charges. they refuse. if they truly believed that there was no evidence, no witness to back up the charges of dr. ford, wouldn't they obviously have called the fbi and said do your job? find what you can, and we're confident at the end that judge kavanaugh will be exonerated. but they haven't. they haven't. and despite all the calls for fairness, fairness over and over again by senator mcconnell, fairness would dictate that a nonpartisan investigative group like the fbi look into t this matter and come to conclusions,, whate

as joe biden considers whether to run for president in 2020.ight he have an anita hill problem for his role in the clarence thomas hearings? and could there be a worst week for his sentencing for sexual assault? what will the #me too factor be? what are we to make of the times story friday claiming deputy attorney general rod rosenstein discussed the possibility of invoke thing twoivth amendment and suggested wearing a wire during his dealings with the president. this will onwn fuel the cries o witch hunt in this investigation. if you're the president -- he calls ag jeff sessions and says fire rosen stun. when sessions refuses, he fires them both. then he install as pliable ag that shuts down the mueller probe. i'm just observing the cover the story provoids him. at least one person said rosenstein brought up wearing a wire ingest and other outlets are now backing that up but thetumes report it he tds twice. rosenstein denied the story and calling it factualy incorrect and quoting anonymous sources. and after the white house meeting issued a se

the people that joe biden throws his arm around in pennsylvania working class folks who voted for obamad trump. they knew this. they saw that coming. biden and ed rendell, he was on the set with us. they were deeply concerned about what was about to happen in pennsylvania even when people in the clinton campaign brushed it off. >> nobody was more concerned than bill clinton. >> yeah. >> the first democrat since franklin roast to be re-elected to the white house. and you have bill clinton there and you're not listening to bill clinton. barack obama was concerned about it. this isn't monday morning quarterbacking by democrats, this was really -- i do want to point out john kerry brought up something very important. yes, white working class voters in those industrial midwest states, there were people that voted for barack obama twice and then voted for donald trump. but you look at the turn out and how low it was, it wasn't so much who voted for donald trump, but who stayed home and did not vote for hillary clinton. >> exactly. >> and 2018, it all depends on who gets out and vote and will

>>> happening today in the east bay, a cancer summit sponsored in part by vice president joe biden, east bay congressman mark desaulnais is sponsoring the community summit in concord part of the biden's campaign to double cancer fighting efforts. today's event is focus odd cancer prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment. starts at 1:30 at concord's health center. >>> a popular south bay thrift store that raised thousands of dollars to help cancer patients is celebrating its grand opening this morning. live look at the american cancer society's discovery shop in los gatos. the store has been closed for the past five months after flooding from a water heater caused major damage there. lost income during the closure is estimated at $118,000. ceremonial ribbon cutting will take place when the doors open at 10:00 this morning. there will be opportunities to win gift certificates as well as amphitheater tickets and the shop will remain open until 6:00 tonight. >>> 6:48 and the cleveland browns fans might be waking a little extra groggy this morning but for good reason. i'm talking about free

let's talk about joe biden here. not just joe biden but also this idea that maybe john kerry is perhaps thinking about 2020. if i wasn't 100% sure of the calendar, i might think i'm in the late '90s. is this a good sign for the democrats that all of these blasts from the past are thinking about running for president again? >> first of all, happy labor day to you guys. if you look at the field that's shaping up, you are going to have an enormous field of democrats. right? it will be as large or larger than the 17 republicans that ran in 2016 for that primary. you are going to have a lot of people at the top of the age ladder. if you just look at some of the people that are being talked about, elizabeth warren, sanders, kerry, they will be in their early to late 70s in 2020. you have the sort of geriatric caucus up there. but then i think you are going to have a whole slew of younger, you know, i think it's fair to say maybe more exciting candidates. i bet some people who win election this year in the midterms and emer

but joe biden established it. and said, here's the warning. that they wouldn't confirm anybody in the supreme court until after the election. lb got to adopt that tactic word. caller: one more point which i think is the most concerning -- i am disappointed with the way these charges have come out. i do agree with the guests that it is a difficult -- in terms of the public realm for this having to occurred and there's a statement that comes along with this type of assertion that it is very difficult for all parties -- both on the sides of it. my biggest fear is that should this be proven to be a frivolous thing or something that isn't found to be factual and something that has already been heavily politicized, what i fear movement andthe the discussion in the public realm around sexual assault and things of that nature -- i'm worried about how damaging that will be should this not be deemed to be appropriate. guest: i agree with you completely. and i'm glad you brought that up. because it is something that others may. because there are women ou

but former vice president joe biden is showing he's not afraid to take on president trump. just wrapped up a speech at a human rights campaign dinner in washington. and he took a few jobs at the president. cnn political reporterarl ech a saenz has more. >> reporter: ana, joe biden was calling president trump and other republicans out for fostering intolerance and trying to roll back the advances the lgbt community has made for years. >> instead of using the full might of the executive branch to secure justice, dignity, and safety for all, the president uses the white house as a literal bully pulpit. callously, callously exerting his power over those who have little or none. >> reporter: so vice president joe biden there was criticizing president trump, saying he engages in bullying. while the vp wasn't saying anything about 2020 himself, people in the crowd were talking about it. there were a few moments when the vice president was speaking and they were shouting "2020" or "run, joe, run," and all the former vice president had to say about it was, "thank you very much." >> w

because you have lower voting rates across the country. >> melissa: we mentioned joe biden as well.as roll out there that he thinks he's going to run in 2020? you want to stay out of the chair? what if a question mark >> [laughs] i think his role is different. of course he's thinking about running for president. i think he has already come out and said he regrets not speaking out earlier, charlottesville was the time in the moment where he couldn't hold his talent and longer. look, a lot of candidates like and vice president biden. they like him in rural areas, they think he inspected working-class in places like pennsylvania. i think you will see them highly visible a better candidate than barack obama or hillary clinton. >> melissa: on the flip side, president trump is made clear that he's going to go out for republicans, that he's willing to go seven days a week. he has proven he does need to sleep. there are democrats that try to make the argument, though, that they are places where he hurts rather than helps. do you buy that argument? >> he is in a similar situation to presiden

plus, hillary clinton and joe biden ramping up their attacks on president trump, whether that will help or hurt democrats in november. >> this president uses the white house as a literal bully pulpit. callously exerting his power over those who have little or none. to look at me now, you don't see psoriasis. you see clear skin. cosentyx can help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. how sexy are these elbows? ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. ask your dermatologist this is moving day with the best in-home wifi experience and millions of wifi hotspots to help you stay connected. and this is moving day with reliable service appointments in a two-hour window so you're up and running in no time. s

joe biden's appeal has always been his likability. when he promises to take the president behind the gym to fight him or kiss him or whatever he comes across as a politician steeped in self-preserving orthodoxy. he claims they have kept the velvet gloves on too long. >> barack and i agree that we remained silent for a while to allow this administration the chance to get up and running the first year. god forgive me. but, i could not remain silent after charlottesville. kennedy: all politicians want credit and power. biden feels robbed of time and a rightful presidency. biden is setting the tone for trump's post presidency which will be more shock than a feral cat caught in a new orleans transformer. wait until your president is free from what remains of his confines and decorum. speaking of lingering 2016 bitterness. hillary clinton penned a whining piece in the atlantic about how mean and negative that donald trump is. like her book and post-election interviews, it's about as valuable like a ball of used kleenex. hillary attacks pred

with me and in my opinion it should be you so joe biden during the clarence thomas proceedings. but my colleagues would do well with this common sense principle. every american understands the presumption of innocence for those that work so hard to clean up thiss, mess and put together a fair process and i'm encouraged with decades of experience to recognize with an award from janet napolitano to this important process. it is time for senators to hear from doctor ford and judge cavanagh under oath tomorrow we will do just that

joe biden said that he would decide in january. >> and he will be out there campaigning too for others. >> yeah. and so it turns out obama/biden still have a lot of juice in them and they are really leading the charge for the democrats right now. >> and then bottom line is will trump be campaigning and excite more than just his base, will he be getting the attention of those outside of his base. >> right. i mean that is really important. i think we tend to forget that former president obama and joe biden are incredible campaigners, right, but neither of them were able to stave off losing midterms in both 2010 and 2014. and so i think president's challenge is to be able to bring out those independents, republicans and democrats, who either sat on the sidelines or voted for him reluctantly to get them to have as much energy as democrats have to regain the house and/or put a dent in the down ballot seats that they have lost in the past nine years. >> and then michael, are obama and biden the most prominent democratic voices who can really stump for support? >> obviously they are critical.
