and mark leibovich, staff writer at the atlantic. gentlemen, i know you have big thoughts about what's happening, but i first want to talk to you about the semiemerging strategy inside the party, which you heard it from tim kaine, you heard it from nancy pelosi, which is i will respect whatever decision the president makes, tim, even though in a very clearly worded letter to congressional democrats, the president said my decision is i'm staying in the race. is that -- first of all, what do you make of that strategy, and do you think it's going to be effective? >> look, i'm going to defer to tim kaine and the senators that served with biden over what is the most effective strategy to encourage joe biden to do the right thing. and if this is what they think is the appropriate approach, they don't want to embarrass him at a time of nato or they think private entreaties make more sense, that's possible. i'll defer to them. i met joe biden one time in a picture line, so i don't know joe biden personally, so i'll defer to them. what i'd en

nobles and staff writer at "the atlantic," and the author of "thank you for your servitude," mark leibovich. what we are hearing from congressman doggett, is that what you're hearing from democrats on the hill? there's a lot of private hemming and hawing, but no one is signing their name on the dotted line like he did. >> a lot of that is based on what congressman doggett said to you, there's a concern if too many democrats come out quickly, that might force joe biden into a corner he feels he needs to come out of as opposed to coming to the decision on his own. what you're seeing democrats on the -- doing behind the scenes, putting the private pressure on the president himself to come to this decision on his own, and if they get the sense he's not willing to take the step, they're going to have to take a step back and rally behind hm, which is essentially what congressman doggett said he's doing. it's a family conversation. i keep hearing that over and over again, we're having a family conversation. how long they can have the family conversation for is an open question, and it feels as tho

we're joined by molly jong fast from vanity fair, and mark leibovich from the atlantic.now if you know much about the tradition of shiva. james carville speaking more from i assume his knowledge of the world than his own faith. >> yeah, i would defer to rabbi carville on that. i don't -- i mean, i'm not an expert on matters. no, i think that it is my hope as someone who has been watching that this will be resolved well before chicago. and presumably it will be. i think the run out the clock strategy is interesting and the events of the last two weeks have, you know, have indicated that there's merit to it. clearly scheduling the first interview basically one week after the debate and then the press conference a week after that, i mean, it does seem like they are controlling the clock. they're being very, very scripted about the environments they let him out into. and next thing you know, next week, the republicans are going to control the stage. at least they hope so, although it's unclear whether that would be good or bad for them given what biden is doing himself. not

political analyst ashley parker and staff righter for the atlantic and political contributor mark leibovich. i've never seen senator schumer, going on nout for 20 years, i've never seen him like that. what it was it like on the hill today and what has it been like now that there is a new candidate on the democratic side. >> well i think in a weird way it highlights just the -- the discomfort perhaps with joe biden as the party standard bearer. he was uneven on the campaign trail. uneven in public appearances and we wrote this morning in the morning edition of punch bowl news that democratic house and senate candidates, endangered candidates will be fighting for their seats in november, feel like they have a new lease on life. they're raising more money than ever before. they are -- they feel like they have somebody at the top of the ticket who they could run with or not someone who they have to run away from. and that is something that took them months. it is been a month since the disastrous debate performance by joe biden. and democrats finally feel like they have a pep in their step. now
