mark preston. this chaotic afghanistan withdrawal. >> it felt like a political turning point for the biden administration when they had come in of course, we were dealing with covid, we were starting to emerge from covid that felt positive. >> obviously we were coming off january 6. that was at something that left a lot of people with bad taste in their mouth around donald trump. but then this moment happens in late august of that first biden administration year, and it was a devastating event. what impact do you think it had then on biden and what impact do you think it has now? >> well well, if you remember, even the weeks leading up to that day were chaotic, but they came upon us really quick. and at the time, it certainly damaged the biden administration is something that he wasn't able to shake now, was it the reason why he got pushed out of the democratic but race know he got pushed out because of his age and you know, his slow response to answering questions and some would say his in his mea

mark preston. thank you so much appreciate your time this morning, right with us now is cnn senior political commentator who will serve as a host tonight at the democratic national convention. and navarro most certainly not a white male or not a white male, as you correctly, a firebrand. >> in fact, check what are the way the term, i think the correct political term is white dude. i told mark preston today he's just he's doing there's all if i can speak on behalf will answer it. anything. but a banana. you say you're not you're not a white due to white male. one thing you we're for a long time is the republican. i mean, i met you. you were working for jeb bush and mitt romney and john mccain like you're running the show here tonight at the convention. what does that say? >> look you know, yesterday when joe biden was speaking and he had that moment, i loved my job, but i love my country more. and i think people need to heed those words. we need to love our country more so for me, when donald trump

player for them right now, the zach lavine convention with us now, cnn senior political analyst, mark preston, mark, it's great to see you. this is the democrats big moment. so different than what they thought it would be four weeks in one day ago, but now they've got a clear mission for these next four days. what do you think it is well, look, there's no question, john, that where we were four weeks ago and where we are right now are in two totally different places. >> tonight you're going to see the beginning of the selling of kamala harris to america. you know, she's been the vice president for several years right now, but she's really played a low profile role to really hasn't been out there on many of the big issues has been, criticized for that. but we're going to see tonight the beginning of again to selling of kamala harris will see also the passing of the torch. we will see joe biden tonight come on, take the stage, which interesting, by the way, john, he didn't have his own balloon drop four years ago. if you remember because of covid. but tonight, he'll kickoff the convention. he w

i want to bring in now cnn senior political analyst mark preston. mark, it really is going to be a remarkable moment. it's going to be a historic one as well bittersweet for president biden, i think so many people full imagine. >> yeah, you know, brianna, it was just four years ago that joe biden had his convention, but there was no balloon drop. there was not thousands of people cheering him on. they did an excellent job electronically to do a convention four years ago, but we're back to the ways of old right now and we're going to see joe biden on the stage behind us really, as you noted, passing the torch, the idea of talking about all the accomplishments that he has done with his wing person, that being kamala harris and him putting her giving her the opportunity to be on a ticket. and now stepping aside and allowing hurt to elevate up to be the nominee, i will tell you, brianna, there is a wave of excitement certainly in the democratic party, certainly in this town that we're feeling right now, that 30 days ago when joe biden was still the stand

close enough that there is still no clear winner i'm joined now by cnn senior political analyst mark preston at the democratic national convention. mark great to see you. so the election does that mean nine days away? but here we are in the eve of the dnc's. so how should the two parties react to these polls showing harris now leading, we know her camp is a very happy well, i'll tell you what, fred, there's no question that kamala harris really needed to have her campaign launched with a bang and it certainly has, you know, a lot of people who started saying, perhaps she has peaked too early. >> i would disagree with that. she needed to show that she has the support and the confidence of democratic voters behind her. and that is what we are seeing this renewed energy specifically particularly among key groups in the democratic party, including young women, young people, and also people of color. these are all groups that we've seen in, in these polls that have shown that in the past few weeks have moved their support back to kamala harris. if you're donald trump, however, right now there has

cnn senior political analyst mark preston. and our good friend in front of the show and the executive chair for the new york state democratic committee, christine quinn first to you, christine. wow, yeah this convention has not had a night where there wasn't huge moments, but last it's night was kamala's night how did she do in your eyes? >> oh, i think she hit it out of the park. she had a lot of jobs to do in that speech and that's hard. she had to further define herself for the american people she had to make a case to the undecideds and which is very hard to also do. she had told layout policy for those who were questioning whether she had policy chops. and i think she did all of those things in a way that was so authentic and so compelling this is my fifth democratic convention and every acceptance speech is great. >> but very plummeting but last night's was like no other, it was like no other in her delivery and in her content and how it was accepted by the base, the room. >> and that's why you're seeing over half 1 mill

that is not mark preston liddy is on the line come off all right. well, clearly members of the beehive hear you guys. thank you so much, really appreciate it. and so as we wait to see how much policy is going to make it into harris is historic speech tonight, former president donald trump is, at the border the southern border, u.s. mexico slamming harris's record on immigration, he is scheduled to speak in arizona any minute. we're going to head there live next there's fall comedy is coming to cnn what could go wrong if i got news for you for me or saturday, september 14 at nine on cnn when we say it will be on time, they expect it to be on time turned shipping to your advantage. >> it does expectations with reliable ground shipping thanks brandon with usps ground advantage he, as long as i agree let's give her complex get, out of my head with ryan understanding like this start, your day with nature me and try new zero sugar gummies work play link relief work play. blake the only three and one extended release formula for dry eyes blink. here we are

cnn senior political analyst, mark preston is with us now. what is known about what happened here, marc well, we're still getting some details, john, but we are seeing the campaign now play out in just about every corner of the nation, just on monday 13, service members died three years ago. >> donald trump up here to at the ceremony at arlington national cemetery, the service members died during that really chaotic and awful, which draw from from afghanistan. now what happened is that some of his campaign team showed up with cameras, video equipment, and that is not allowed in arlington national cemetery. it is it is part of the rules of decorum and those cemeteries. there appeared to be some kind of altercation that we're still trying to find out the details of what exactly happened. but the trump campaign is pushing back saying that that it was it was inappropriate. basically, what the cemetery officials did john, by preventing them from doing so. and donald trump's campaign has also put out a statement from some of the families saying tha

. >> cnn senior political analyst, mark preston is joining us now. that was just a whole new dnc via from little john there and he really set the tone for the night no question about that. >> he took this arena here in electrified it last night. >> is sets the stage, as you noted, for michelle obama in barak obama to come in and provide some definition to what we've seen in this excitement for the democratic party over the past 30 days. >> now, we know barack obama is so good at delivering speeches but it was his wife, as you noted, who tore the roof off last night let's listen to what she had to say and we've got to do if we say a bad poll and we when we got them put down that phone and do something we start feeling tired if we start feeling that dread creeping back in, we got to pick ourselves up, throw water on her face and what we only have two-and-a-half months. >> y'all, to get this done so as i talk about given direction in definition to this excitement, democrats 30, 35 days ago, we're in a totally different situation as we all recall. >> the

i want to bring in cnn senior political analyst mark preston first, let's talk about what was a rather late speech tonight by president biden. but one were he got such an amazing reception. >> he certainly didn't let me talk about a swan song. just 30, 31 days ago, he was planning to come here to this convention. and on thursday night stand on the stage and, you know, bask in the glory of the balloon drop and actually have a convention. he didn't have one in 2020, if you remember, was a virtual convention because of covid. but we saw last night was joe biden actually, you know, showing some grace and i hate to say x we were saying it all the time. i'm now it's passing the baton and he passed the baton to kamala harris. he did speak a little bit about his decision to step away. let's take a listen i spent the my lifetime serve as your president i love the job but i love my country more now of course, he was in many ways pushed out and but he has handled a gracefully. he's in california right now. but what is really interesting that they're really caught, certainly my year in my eye in e
