how do they respond? key would be some of the issues they can come back against to take out what you just said was the emotional shot in the arm? basil: what is interesting about the kamala harris pick is that republicans can't say she is sort of the typical moderate pick. she is of jamaican and indian ancestry. hbcu, who of an thinks very seriously about higher education. who is thinking of very seriously about criminal justice reform and has a track record on that. these are all weak points for this administration. anything vice president mike pence can put on the table, i think she has shown that she is not afraid to push back. we saw that in debates and i think we will see that certainly against mike pence. romaine: you mentioned her jamaican ancestry. on ais a person of color major party ticket during a time when you have an administration that has not exactly embraced diversity and, for better or for worse, has seemed to do well with that strategy. energizing largely the minority voters out there. i wonder if having someone like kamala on the ticket, whether that does turn some voters off of that ticket. basil: that is remained to be seen. i have had my issues with joe biden, and i have written about them. the way he characterizes people of color. about the other day the black community not being that diverse. thatmindset, and the fact in many ways this race is predicated on winning back white male voters, it will be interesting how he talks about issues of race and justice reform. note that sont to many americans think the country is going in the wrong direction. so the question is, can joe biden address those voters in a thoughtful way that gives voters the sense that just because we need to focus more on diversity, equity, and inclusion, that should not take away from who you are. i think that is sometimes how others, particularly this president, has created that racial and class cleavage. i think that joe biden can find that sweet spot to be able to make that very nuanced argument. caroline: it feels that the immediate response from the other side of the aisle will probably be, this is your pick for president. a onef joe biden being term president, then, someone who can take to the helm with immediacy, so had to have the political experience senator harris has. it is the u.s. ready for a female leader or a leader of color in your perspective? said we wereeople not ready for a black president. so are we ready for kamala harris as vice president? that remains to be seen. having worked with hillary clinton over the years, how people have talked about her, the subtle and not-so-subtle misogyny and sexism. active inlinically part because i saw geraldine for our -- geraldine ferraro talking about how the party needed to be more inclusive. it was shameful to see how she was treated then had not changed so much with hillary clinton in 2016. to be honest, i don't know if things have changed all that much now in 2020. the fact that she is on this ticket is going to force america to reckon with all of its ism's. if there was no other reason donald trump is in office, it forces us to look at all of our institutions, political and economic structures, understand the disparities within them and how to fix that, or at least provide a pathway. maybe that is what they are doing with this particular ticket, force the country to reckon with its sins, concerns, and opportunity or potential. up whatto sort of wrap you think the key issues would be, you have mentioned criminal justice reform of course, in this moment when we are seeing protests continue across the country. a keyo you think would be issue that she can really hang her hat on? basil: i think justice reform. i think particularly coming from california, climate change. those specific policies, addition to joe normalcyresentation of in politics. a steady hand and governance. and thoughtful policy leadership. caroline: thank you so much for your time today. let's get you now the first word with markn. mark: thank you very much. as we have been reporting, joe biden has announced california senator kamala harris will be his running mate for the 2020 presidential campaign. senator harris, who ran against vice president biden in the cranberries -- in the primaries, is the first black woman as a running mate on a major party ticket. in a statement, biden said harris is a fighter for the little guy and one of the nation's best public servants. in spain, calling for a -- in allto rico,: for a redo at polling stations that opened late or had issues that stopped people from voting. island's half of the polling places had trouble casting ballots. sendinged nations is try toto lebanon to prevent food shortages. the blast destroyed the city's main grain silo. the humanitarian agency says the first wheat shipment will be there in the coming days and supply bakeries for about a month. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo is in the czech republic. he is expected to focus on threats to the region

mark penn was a key poll isster for bill clinton and was, for a time, chief strategist for hillary clinton's 2008 presidential bid. mark, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. gerry: so let's start, if we may, with vice president biden on thursday night. tell us what, in your view, what did he have to do with that big acceptance speech, and how successful was he in doing it? >> well, i think he did exactly what he set out to do. first, i think he had to show that he was all there. could he deliver an effective oratory, read through the speech in, i think, an effective way, and he did, right in certainly, that was goal number one. number two, he had to call for unity around his character and values, the better for light versus darkness, and he had to avoid the pitfalls of the policy division within the democratic party to paper that over and bring the party together along against donald trump. so from the perspective of objectives set out to objectives met, i think they're uncorking the champagne over there. as they should be. gerry: but as you said, he didn't talk a lot about policy and, in fact, sort of glossed over the divisions in the party. it is true, and we saw earlier in the week bernie sanders, we saw very briefly -- you blinked and you missed it -- alexandria ocasio-cortez. but we know the party's adopted a platform which is reflective of many of the things that bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have been campaigning on for some time. it's a pretty radical platform. are they going to be able to continue to avoid really focusing on that and discussing that? >> well, that's the real question. it will be up to the republicans to put those policies front and center. is $4 trillion of a tax increase, is $1 is.75 -- 1.75 trillion of a climate change plan, do those policies make sense, are they what the american people want. is it about policies or is out about character. they said, look, it's about character. we'll worry about the policies. we'll come together, we'll get things done, and it's going to be up to the republicans to say, no, no, no, it's not about character alone, it is about, it is about the policies that create the direction for the country. that's going to have to be their argument. remember, what's so great about the conventions, as you pointed out, is that they have become infomercials, so they become the parties' opportunity to put their best message out there. sometimes conventions, as they did in '68, you know, end in chaos and division, and sometimes they're remarkably well scripted and deliver a message. this one was in the later category. gerry: what did you make of the very interesting, i thought at times, discussion of race. you had michelle obama kind of implying that if people disagreed with her, it's because she was a black woman. kamala harris talking about there being no vaccine for racism. obviously, this was taking place against this background of extraordinary protests and unrest we've seen over the last few months. what are the democrats trying to do here, do you think, by handling the race issue in this way? >> well, i don't know that they're trying to do anything, this is what they believe. i mean, i do think 25% of the party and about 90% of black voters in this country are democrats, and i think that they've taken a strong position that there is systemic racism in this country. and to the extent that they may have not put up front the $4 trillion tax increase, they did put up front that this is what they believe america's like, and this is what they believe needs to be done to fix it. and i think you have to just say at the end of the day that this is one not of strategy, but of belief. gerry: and is that, but, i mean, maybe not strategy, is that, do you think, going to help them win the election, or do you think people will be maybe turned off by the idea that race is front and center and somehow if you don't vote for the democrats, you're a racist? >> well, i think there are two pieces to the question that you ask. in the first piece, do americans think there's a lot of racism in yes, they do. do they think there's a lot to be done to address it? yes, they do. but americans also think that the police need probably as much if not more funding. they do also back law and order. so it's a false choice to have just one of those things. and it'll be interesting to see whether the republicans weave them together or whether the democrats take the position let's talk about systemic racism, and the republicans say take law and order when the public really wants both. gerry: very quickly because we've got to take a break, but kamala harris, you know, it's the old rule that the vice presidential picks don't help you much, but they can do you harm. what's your take on her performance this week? >> she clearly did no harm. i think to the extent that she was the logical choice, i thought he should have picked her weeks earlier, and i think she's been a good pick so far. of she's generated a lot of favorable publicity. i think she'll be a very strong debater. i think for the first time we will have a very vigorous vice presidential debate from two people who can talk very intelligently about the issues. gerry: we've got to take a very quick break. when he come back, a look at how president trump and the republicans are going to respond to the democrats' agenda and what they plan to do to defend their own. stay with us.
