stephanopoulos asked biden about mark warner. >> the washington post reported that senator mark warners assembling a group of senators to get you to stand down because they don't think you can win. >> president biden: market is a good man. he tried to get the nomination too. mark and i have a different perspective. i respect him. will: mark warner and other senators meeting tomorrow with hakeem jeffries, the minority leader, don't know what will happen on that virtual call. lisa: if nancy pelosi were the minority leader, four democrat saying get out and 2 dozen saying they are ready to write a letter do you think we would be hearing it that way? lisa: the kamala harris problem is why there might be reluctance to get joe biden to drop out of this race. democrats are trying to figure out can she get the job done? it is important not to underestimate anyone. the democrats have a machine behind them with mail in balloting and getting out the vote. it's dangerous to underestimate your opponent. will: how much of that is behind him? looks like last night's interview did not coalesce everyone

one is the mark warner story. and warner's camp refuses to confirm or deny it.ch, to me, is a confirmation. and it means that you have powerful senators warner in virginia, senior person in the senate, willing to organize people in the mode of, you know, barry goldwater who went to nixon and said it's time to go. and that is just part of it. but it's now very prominent. but the larger part of it, aishah, is that all those democratic congressman coming back next week. coming together. they're worried about biden's impact down ballot. and you can imagine that they are also anxious to go to the white house, to speak directly with biden, to try to persuade him that something is going on. and there's a third pillar to this mix, the donor class. you touched on it in the package. i thought it was terrific. what you are see something like the guy at netflix hastings. disney heiress. >> aishah: they are asking for embargoes to donate until the president steps aside. >> juan: threatening evening that some of this money would go to the down ballot candidates. that's a trem

post reported in the last hour that senator mark warner is assembling a group of senators to convinced down because they don't think you can win. >> president biden: mark is a good man. mark and i have a different perspective. i respect him. >> what is he going to say? they are crazy not to get me? he needs their support between now and end of summer, we have a different perspective. the problem is that perspective is more than a little thing. it is whether he should be running for president. lisa: virginia is an incredibly important state. it' s an striking distance for donald trump. there's a concern for every senator and i don't believe he is up for reelection but nonetheless you have virginia an important state. a lot of democrats are concerned what this could mean not only at the top of the ticket with the presidential race but the down ballot affect as well. will: america's crime crisis pushed out of the other celebrity from california to tennessee. a current camera announced he's leaving california. it is too much under the guidance of gavin newsom. here's kirk cameron. >> i'm

we're just getting this in from the washington post that the mechanic senator mark warner from virginia is pulling together some other democrats to ask joe biden to step down from the race. >> neil: so he would be the first senator on the dunkirk side to be talking that way. we have these 3 representatives who are on board with doing something like that. that will be a big development. >> reporter: indeed. we have not heard anything from senators and certainly mark warner chairman of the powerful senate intelligence committee. is a big voice on capitol hill and the house comes back next week. so those calls could be louder so it's a big weekend ahead for president biden as he has to prove to the american public he has what it takes to stay in this race. >> neil: got it my friend. lucas tomlinson. want to go to mike tobin in madison wisconsin. i most thinking of how close wisconsin is decided over the last couple of elections. 20,000 votes the last 1. 20,000 votes on the prior 1, the first 1. that was something that was benefiting donald trump over hillary clinton. directly the level in

and cbs news has learned that democratic senator mark warner of virginia is talking to colleagues about finding a way to ask biden to get out, according to one senator contacted. cbs's scott macfarlane is in madison, wisconsin, where the president spoke this afternoon and it's got, frame it for us: just how important is today and this weekend to the future of biden's candidacy? >> reporter: a pivotal 72 hours ahead. he has a network prime time tv interview tonight, a rally in the battle got state of pennsylvania sunday, and he told reporters he's talked to at least 20 members of congress, as he tries to save his campaign from internal party pressure. trying to prevent his political support from crumbling, president biden rallied voters in the democratic stronghold of madison, wisconsin. >> i am running and him going win again. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: open the acknowledging a revolt against him by some in his own party. >> despite that some folks don't seem to care who voted for, well guess what, they're time to push me out of the race? let me say this as clear as i can: i'm s

and we begin to have concern that mark warner will no longer be chair because we won't be able to hold the senate and maybe even the house if we don't have a stronger offensive against donald trump. >> i've spoken to a lot of people who speak to voters that they're pollsters there, folks on the campaign, and their lawmakers. and i'm always interested in what folks on the front lines here from voters when you speak to voters in your district do you notice them raising the same questions you're raising now and saying, i liked the man, but i don't think he's the right man for the job well yesterday, july 4 we're all out seeing constituents and i hope that's happening with my colleagues all over the country. >> and i can't tell you how many people sought me out at neighborhood parades to say they supported the statement i made and that they they think it's really important that we get another the choice they want trump out. they fear what trump would do to destroy our democracy. but they're worried that president biden is not the strongest candidate that we can put forward who would be a s

>> well, it's a bit of a mixed message from mark warner. were hearing that he was trying to get a meeting together of democrats and talking to them about maybe trying to ease the president out of the race here. that's not the case here. i will note that this might have something to do with electoral politics. mark warner is not on the ballot this fall, but tim kaine his colleague is up for re-election in virginia, and virginia depending on who you talk to, they read this as a swing state. the other thing that i am struck by here is you are starting to have swing district democrat or democrats who represent battleground states like ohio with brown, montana,ish greg landsman from cincinnati, a congressman, all from swing territory indicate they think that president biden should go. and so you're starting to see this softening of the wall of support here for president biden, and where that fault line lies is those who have competitive re-election bids. the president tonight is going to have a virtual meeting with members of the congressional b

the washington post reports that key senator mark warner of virginia is telling other democrats that mr. biden can no longer remain in the race, and warner is trying to put together a group of democratic senators to ask the president to bow out. warner's spokesperson not confirming or denying that report. also tonight, the president is speaking about the issue in a prime time interview. plus, he's planning a press conference next week as some democrats demand he act quickly to show he has the mental fitness to continue this campaign. it's where we start tonight with gabe gutierrez in wisconsin, with his candidacy hanging in the balance. tonight, president biden looking for a lifeline in battleground wisconsin. eight days after that disastrous debate. you can't say it's my best performance. we love the job. but ever since then, there's been a lot of speculation. what's joe going to do? is he going to stay in the race? well, here's my answer. i am running and going to win again. the president speaking with a teleprompter at a rally in madison addressing concerns about his age head on.

i know you didn't serve with mark warner, senator warner, he came in after you left. i get it. but you did you did serve with him. you didn't. okay. so there are some i think maybe four or five who from the 90s are still there. what is your message to those democrats and potentially he's approaching to gather to now go to the president. what do you tell your former colleagues in the senate? >> well, remember what was it mark twain said, i don't belong no organized group. i'm a democrat the fact is that that's the nature of our party and that there's different voices saying different things all the time. and so mark warner's fluids within his rights it's due to say whatever he's going to say and to make the call these calling people like me however, i saying mark, you're on the wrong track, you come to the wrong conclusion here and we need to move forward with our nominee, joe biden ambassador qarrah moseley braun, always appreciate having a conversation with you. thank you so much for being with get me this morning thank you. >> thank you for having me are the message from some

sources i spoke to who originally said they were reached out or their bosses reached out from senator mark warner early last week after the debate have told me that they've since not been in contact with warner so we don't know exactly what time and when this will happen. there is nothing scheduled concretely at based on sources that i spoke to but again, we have reported that mark warner, very high ranking, the top democrat, chairman of the intelligence committee. in the senate he had his own political ambitions, perhaps even the white house in the future but is someone we are told who is concerned for the down ballot affects biden's candidacy at the top of the ticket could have on fellow democrats. for example, his colleague, tim kaine, who is running for re- election. the bottom line is it doesn't matter when the meeting happens. senators are returning to the building, as our house members. they will get together and talk and huddle to determine whether biden can lead the party, and certainly this next week is very crucial. >> thanks for being here. joining me now is former congressman and co-

you didn't talk about the concerns you didn't talk about senate mark warner, anything? she didn't mention any of that. she also didn't really talk that much about joe biden himself. she just talk about what they did together as president, vice president could you talk about all the resources they delivered and then she specifically focused on the threat of donald trump. she has not really come out and i mean, she has in the last few weeks, but she didn't really come out at this big speech to clear the air in any way in terms of what the future of the ticket is i think that she is playing the campaign strategy of being donald trump is real threat here. but i think she's not really stepping away from any believes or any ideas that she could possibly take over. >> mariana al-fakhoura with washington post. thank you so much for being with us tropical storm beryl, expected to gain strength and turned into a category one hurricane before slamming into the southern coast of texas several counties in the track of the storm now have issued mandatory evacuation orders with beryl

mark warner is the chair of the senate intelligence committee.tol hill, taken very seriously within the democratic party. the thought that he is coming forward, trying to gauge whether or not there is consensus among senate democrats to ask the president to step aside, is absolutely notable. >> juju: clearly house democrats like mike quigley are saying it's not enough to say i'm going to give it my best, that this is an existential threat, that's not good enough. >> that answer bill get a lot of play and it's one democrats are keeping in mind. they say that the threat is so high here, is it really enough to say at the end of all of this, you gave it your best if you don't defeat donald trump? >> juju: rachel scott, thank you. we know you'll be busy all weekend long for abc, thanks. >>> now the trump campaign already seems to be stepping up attacks on vice president kamala harris, painting her as a possible challenger. earlier tonight, i talked to abc news chief white house correspondent mary bruce and asked her whether the biden campaign was able

you mentioned senator mark warner. this is coming from the washington post's reporting saying that warner is trying to take it a group of fellow said are together to ask biden to leave the race as soon as monday, senator warner, as we know, is on alarmist by any means we should note that his spokes woman, rachel cohen did say, like many other people in washington and across the country, sender one or believes these are critical days for the president's campaign. and he has made that clear to the white house so what do you think margaret is? how serious is this i'm sorry alice i'm sorry. i'll series i'm thinking mark warner is on the mind and alex? yes apologies my opinion. i mean, this is incredibly it's incredibly serious. i mean, you having joe biden's was in the senate since night from 1970 to 2009. to back that, he would have his former peers and colleagues go to him and sort of an intervention. and say, we think you should get out, would be personally sort of profound and painful for joe biden. that being said, i

in the senate part of the "washington post" virginia senator mark warner is working together group of democratic senators to urge the president to step aside. one a democratic lawmaker says the president needs to have a wider conversation with members outside of party leadership. >> cap up to the hill or have us come over to the white house next week and let's just have an honest conversation. that is the best way for him to reassure members of congress. >> the effort to get the president to reevaluate his candidacy is not just coming from capitol hill. massachusetts governor says in a statement the best whiteboard right now is a decision for the president to make over the coming days i urge him to listen to the american people and carefully evaluate whether he remains our best hope to defeat donald trump. one of the more than 20 democratic governors who privately met with the president at the white house earlier this week. alicia: madeleine rivera live on capitol hill, thank you. mike: meantime another legal victory for former president trump the florida judges is granting his lawyer

but i do think you heard how he reacted when it was brought up that mark warner was considering, you know, getting together group of senators to ask for him to step aside. and he, you know, took at that -- >> he did let me give you last 15 seconds. >> this should be a teachable moment if you're in the bubble listen to debate listen to different points of view. the fact this actually believe this is delusion he can when i know registered votessers are showing him ten points behind it shows how stupid you are when you exist inside a bubble. >> have a great saturday great discussion we'll see where it goes. anita. anita: okay great discussion there griff. moving on now, the florida judge in donald trump's classified documents case has granted the trump team's request for more briefings on the supreme court immunity ruling ordering a partial stay in a move that will pause several upcoming deadlines in the case. trump's team had urged the court to pause the florida case while the presidential immunity issue is resolved. griff: still ahead this hour how americans respond when asked if they

wait until you hear what senator mark warner says about a doubling down on that. calls for joe to go are expected to explode. meet the democrat running for congress in colorado who is saying that. did that abc sit-down do anything to change his mind? and did robert f. kennedy just say stick a fork in him, the president's all but toast? hear for yourself from kennedy himself. and hear from marianne williamson herself. remember her? she's not only saying joe should go, but democrats should go to her. and does all of this sound eerily familiar? an embattled president facing revolts in his own party. lbj stepped aside for the good of the nation, but it didn't do much good for him, why two historians say quitting doesn't necessarily mean winning. no wonder why donald trump's been smiling, largely quiet, very quiet, letting dem rah accurates self-destruct. why former attorney general bill barr says the former president has reasons to be smiling. a lot of those big cases against him could be disappearing. all that and the travel rush to return home from the holiday and a

in every day he delays in making that decision, makes it more difficult us on our mark warner is set to be leading an effort to get democratic senators on board with replacing joe biden. >> sources tell cnn that warner's playing going to meet with other senators on monday meanwhile, house lawmaker tells cnn minority leader hakeem jeffries has scheduled a meeting with party leaders. there for sunday or something months or fatty has more the concern among democrats on capitol hill is only intensifying a handful of house democrats now saying they believe it is time for president joe biden to step aside. here's illinois congressman mike quigley. >> what we need right now. and i think what takes the spine is to step aside and recognize the president. i'd states doesn't have the vigor necessary to overcome the deficit here and it's going to affect us all. >> and privately, many additional members are expressing their concern about president biden's viability behind closed doors on sunday house minority leader hakeem a freeze he's called a virtual meeting for democratic committee ranking me

cnn has learned that senator mark warner, a democrat of virginia, is leading an effort two assemble a group of democrats to try to get on the same page about the future of biden's reelection. sources tell us that mark warner himself is starting to get to a place where he believes the president needs to step aside in this race. it all illustrates the heightened tension within this party as at the moment, as the president, and those top party officials are trying to chart the path forward where they want to try to beat trump in november. but so many questions still swirling for positive biden about the future of his candidacy. he will be in at his home in wilmington, delaware on saturday before campaigning in two stops in pennsylvania on sunday, are signs. cnn, madison wisconsin more democrats openly calling for biden to leave the presidential race massachusetts governor maura healey was one of the governors who met with biden earlier this week on friday, she issued a statement urging him to quote carefully evaluate whether he is the best hope to beat donald trump meanwhile, a house law

jon, we talked about mark warner, senator from battleground state that democrats have won the past few elections but appears to be more in play right now. he's circulating that letter. >> yeah, and i've spoken to colleagues of senator warner's who have spoken to him about this. it's a serious effort. senator warner's concerns, he has real concerns about whether or not biden can beat donald trump. he thinks it's come to a pivotal moment for the party and for the nation. and his concerns are not alone. frankly, a lot of other democrats have been unwilling to speak publicly because they want biden to come to this on his own, and they're concerned that coming out and speaking publicly will only backfire. but it as widespread feeling among democrats -- >> george: and rachel scott, hakeem jeffries, the democratic leader in the house, has called house democrats for a zoom meeting on sunday? >> and this will be coming right before democrats head back to capitol hill. that is going to be pivotal. i'm told that the democratic leader has been measured in his approach, really trying to calm the ne

at the same time, the washington post reported that senator mark warner plans to gather a group of democratic senators on monday to ask biden to withdraw from the us presidential race. biden's poor performance in the first presidential debate against trump caused the strength of requests to withdraw and. he has been nominated by the democratic party in the 2024 elections. but biden's campaign headquarters has announced that he is preparing for the second debate in september. the us treasury is looking to finalize crypto rules to prevent tax evasion. according to the new law , digital platforms such as exchanges and payment processors are required to. report users' reactions to the internal revenue service. this law sets a $10,000 threshold for reporting transactions involving stablecoins or cryptocurrencies based on the us dollar. slow this rule will only apply to platforms such as coinbase or binance that hold digital assets. accordingly , brokers must report income from the sale of assets. display of robots at the exhibition of the world artificial intelligence conference in shanghai, china

biden and also this just in brand new reporting from the washington post that democratic senator mark warner of virginia is trying to assemble a group of democratic senators to ask biden to exit the race a spokeswoman for the senator would neither confirm nor deny that reporting to the post, saying in a statement, quote like many other people in washington and across the country, senator warner believes these are critical dates for the president's campaign, and he has made that clear to the white house. let's begin with cnn's arlette saenz was in madison, wisconsin. so arlette, we hurt him. they're very forceful. give us a sense of how it's been there on the ground at that camp beethoven lawyer got president biden was defiant and insistent that he is remaining in this presidential race even at a time hi when there is a lot of skepticism from top democrats and donors about keeping him out the top of the democratic ticket in november. now, the president directly secondly addressed those who are trying to push him out of this race. of course that is at a time when there are a top democrats priv

we do though, have some of your colleagues, senator mark warner of virginia, according to the washington post, attempting to assemble a group of senators to ask biden to exit the race. and you have a handful of democratic lawmakers who have called for him publicly, biden publicly to leave the race. what's your reaction to some of your colleagues? saying that yeah a couple of members of the jv team, once they say those kinda things for their ten minutes of fame or whatever that's up, that's up to them or they're entitled to their order is intelligence committee i'm talking about random reps from a couple of days, mark warner i have a lot of respect for senator warner as well. i'm not referring to him and he's entitled to his his opinion and he carries a lot of weight. i admire him, but i just don't happen to agree with this on this as well before you believe that never biden joe biden, we're seeing right now can beat donald trump in november i do. >> but i just want to be very clear i've been having this same conversation for eight years in 2016 and western pennsylvania was very clear tha

he's discounted mark warner's effort in the senate. he says that jeffries schumer the other leaders in the senate, will not pelosi in the house will not come to him and tell him to get out but if they did, is there any indication that that would be persuasive at all? he says he doesn't even believe the polls that chose these down it's hard to tell. biden has been and we've reported this repeatedly. he is very dismissive of poles and voices that are telling him that he can't win in november, he's made this a part of his his narrative, his personal narrative that he has always been counted out. and we're seeing that again and again in the way he's handling this situation. in particular, and the reality is, there are only a small number of people that have real influence over joe biden right now. however, if we start seeing people in leadership and more and more democrats coming out, it's hard to imagine that that's not going to have some level of influence on biden or at the very least influence on the people who can convince biden to st

at the same time, the washington post reported that senator mark warner plans to gather a group of democratic senators on monday to ask biden to withdraw from the us presidential race. sed and 68 supporters, public figures and democratic business executives also asked him in a letter to biden withdraw from the presidential election in november. biden's poor performance in the first presidential debate against trump led to increased calls for him to withdraw from the 2024 democratic nomination. baidden's election headquarters has announced that he is ready for the second debate in september. to be the us presidential election will be held on november 15th. the new british foreign minister called for an immediate ceasefire in gaza . david lammy, in his first official political stance , emphasized british support for international efforts for an immediate ceasefire in gaza and the release of prisoners. did british labor party. in a decisive victory in the british parliamentary elections, rooz succeeded in coming to power after 14 years, and starmer, the leader of this party , was appointed prime

mark warner, the donors, other people do not take the nominee for president. a process do and they have already done that. i agree that this is a crucial moment in time and the threat of democracy that looms with the potential return of donald trump is something that cannot be ignored. i think the more democrats continue to fight and play this game about replacing the president when there is not even an heir apparent, the weaker they are. we had not heard anything from donald trump this week because he realizes democrats are doing the work or him. >> at this critical moment, how can the president calling concerns that are out there? >> he could take a cognitive test, which i think each do. people are worried about 2027, what he will be like in three years if he is still president. he should take a test and say that. i took this and it is all public coming here it is. he could do that. and i think he should do that. right now there are clouds of witnesses. all of these anonymous stories floating around saying he has been like this for weeks or months. anonymous

. >> on a more practical level "washington post" just reported that senator mark warner is assembling group of senators together to try to get you to stand down because they don't think you to win. >> mark is a good win. he also tried to get the nomination, too. mark and i have a different perspective. i respect him. >> and if chuck schumer and jeffries and nancy pelosi come down and say we're worried that if you stay in the race we're going to lose the house and senate, how do you respond? >> i've spoken to all of them in detail including jim can clyburn, everyone said i should stay in the race. stay in the race. none of the people -- >> but if they do? >> they're not going to do that. >> are you sure? >> yeah, i'm sure. look, i mean, if the lord almighty says get out of the race, i'll get out of the race. these hypotheticals, george, if -- i mean. >> but it's not that hypothetical any mor. i granted they have not requested the meeting. >> i've met with a lot of these people. i've talked with them regularly. our conversation, i had more time with jim clyburn, i spent time many hours

. >> on a more practical level "washington post" just reported that senator mark warner is assembling a group of senators together to try to get you to stand down because they don't think you to win. >> mark is a good win. he also tried to get the nomination, too. mark and i have a different perspective. i respect him. >> and if chuck schumer and jeffries and nancy pelosi come down and say we're worried that if you stay in the race we're going to lose the house and senate, how do you respond? >> i've spoken to all of them in detail including jim can clyburn, everyone said i should stay in the race. stay in the race. none of the people -- >> but if they do? >> they're not going to do that. >> are you sure? >> yeah, i'm sure. look, i mean, if the lord almighty says get out of the race, i'll get out of the race. these hypotheticals, george, if -- i mean. >> but it's not that hypothetical any mor. i granted they have not requested the meeting. >> i've met with a lot of these people. i've talked with them regularly. our conversation, i had more time with jim clyburn, i spent time many hour

mark warner showing up at the oval office to get a meeting is not going to convince him because whenenator goldwater went to nixon about the analogy people make, delivering the message that they have the votes in the senate to remove the president from office. nobody has power to remove joe biden from office much less remove him as a democratic nominee so if he doesn't want to go, he's not going. family certainly doesn't want him to go because he's the gravy train, meal ticket and they are grifters, they want to lose their meal ticket. if they did, they wouldn't have done this debate, it's elder abuse to put him in front of the american people the way they did so he can't get rid of him unless he wants to go and if they do convince him to go, they can't get past kamala harris who's less popular than he is. joe biden is the least popular president in the history of bowling going back to the end of world war ii. less popular than him in the politics average so they don't want her to be the nominee but they won't take the first black woman vice president of the curve and put the mail on

ryan: please welcome senator mark warner. [applause] i know your schedule is completely jammed and we are just going to dive right in. you have a lot of expertise in this area and we have nearly 100 days before the election. what can we do and i should say what are you most concerned about in terms of foreign influence in the next 100 days that we should be on the lookout for? sen. warner: the good news is, if we look at the european parliamentary elections, at the french election, british election, we have not seen what we expected. we did not see massive uses of ai, because that brings deepfakes and scale and speed that are unprecedented. the bad news is, and i caused controversy when i say this, we are not as prepared in 2024 as we were in 2020. [inaudible] one is the power of ai, that the scale and speed can spread information at a rapid rate. two, foreign adversaries. information disinformation is cheap, and it works. the documentation, bipartisan documentation we did i think is still much better than the mueller report

i think he is not going to listen to mark warner.to go to sam's point, i think there is a -- again, this is a hypothetical. we don't know if this will or will not happen. i think it comes down to not individual house members on background, even on television. i think it comes down to, for joe biden, if -- and i still believe that joe biden cares about the party enough and cares about the success, winning this election enough, that if the leadership of the party, chuck schumer, hakeem jeffries, nancy pelosi, jim clyburn, in combination or individually, went to biden and said, "we love you. we respect you. we think you've been a great president. we are looking at the numbers. we're looking at what is happening in our competitive districts, in the states that are in play, and we are going to lose. we could not just lose the presidency. as best we can tell, we don't think you have a path to beat jump, or the likelihood is very low. and, and --" >> the problem, john, with that, john, is they told him in 2020 he was going to lose. after io

we're seeing people like senator mark warner, progressive, house member jamaal bowman getting behind her as the democratic nominee how many is that what you expect to see from the democratic party or is this going to become this, this complicated contest where you are seeing other democrats, throw their hat in the ring for this nomination no, for about ten days or so, i've been hearing about this movement, particularly a moderate senators, people who are on the line and the upcoming states a lot of donors who we frankly weren't big, kamala harris fans know a year ago, who've been calling around saying listen to this works out, and she's the nominee. >> we will move over. i would expect i, called them super friends, right? you'll start to see more of the super friends come together. and by that, i mean, we've already seen a statement from president bill clinton from what i just heard on air i think you may hear from president barak obama. you may hear from some of the other big luminary names in the democratic party who will come out and say commonly her as the person. >> here's the r

and on the senate side, democratic senator mark warner is already trying to assemble a group of his colleagues on this. it seems democrats from all angles are being proactive. is this a problem for president biden? >> i don't think so, i think if you are trying to figure out what the meeting means tomorrow for house democrats, you should view this as a listening session , hosted by peter jeffries where members can weigh in with their concerns and we can sort it out internally as a family as opposed to sort of one by one, people going out and making statements about the president. and so i think the leader wanted to provide a forum for all members to provide their perspective there, on the other side of the capital, mark warner obviously, in critical member of the united states senate and someone who has deep buy-in across the country, my perception there is, i think it is a mistake but it is probably one that has been calculated and has been done in partnership with a number of ceos, and other leaders across the country whom he has relationships with. and so that is the way i would view this.

how divisive is this for the party when you've got pretty big names mark warner said he need to be replaced chris coons who say the opposite. shannon: that's the thing lawmakers have a lot of power as well as donors to push publicly now and will we see more of that after this meeting with the top democrats as you said, guided by the house's top democratic hakim jeffries this conversation. because when lawmakers worry about their own seats or staffers worry about their own careers that's when we start to hear more and more about this when they're self-interest involved but remember president biden said in the abc short of the lord all mighty to talk him out of it he says what he's hearing from on the hill including nancy pelosi, chuck schumer is that they are not asking him to step down and they're with him. will that conversation change today? would hakim jeffries change his public position after this meeting? lisa: in the race we're also seeing other aspect shaping the race u.s. judge kanen pauses classified documents case to consider the impact of the supreme court decision. on presidenti

>> i keep my eye on senator mark warner and he very much could be a berry gold water figure in the nixonhe and a group of republicans may famously told lyndon johnson -- or nixon they weren't going to back him and senate intelligence and key building for the coalition and stepping down and going for the white house and going for lbj in a moment to step down for the good of the country and i want you to respond to this, douglas. >> i shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president. >> that was probably the most important line of what he said today, president biden. i am the nominee of the party. what he's saying to everybody is that it's going to be a fight because i'm now saying i'm the nominee. at the time lbj withdrew from the race, he was battered by mccarthy in new hampshire and about to lose the wisconsin primary and true the president had a lot more power then and didn't need all the primaries and not enough to make you get the nomination. if had gotten it under that enormous pressure, it would be a divide. neil: divided parties ge

that's based on sources that i spoke to but again, we have reported that mark warner, a very high ranking, he's the top democrat, the chairman of the intelligence committee, he had his own little ambitions, perhaps even the white house in the future but he is somebody who we are told, is concerned for the down ballot effects that biden's candidacy at the top of the ticket can have on fellow democrats for example his colleague, tim kane who is running for reelection in virginia. centers are returning to this building as our house members and they will get together and they will talk and huddled to determine whether biden can leave their party and certainly this next week is very crucial. >> thanks for being here. i appreciate it. >>> joining the house former congressman and cochair of the biden/harris campaign, cedric richmond. congressman, it's good to have you here. i like to get your immediate reaction to the news of four more house democrats that are calling for biden to step aside? >> thanks for having me. i would reiterate what congresswoman wilson said, that we should be spending ti

in the meantime on the senate's eside there multiple reports virginia democrat mark warner was trying to assemble a meeting with some of his colleagues tomorrow. we will follow all of it. >> i think it is possible that kamala harris will be the nominee mainly because they are going to have a funding problem with joe biden drops out and frankly i would hope it is her because she is a terrible candidate. alicia: republicans sounding off as more democrats or poorly throw their support line vice president kamala harris to replace president biden former president trump insists he could beat her in a head to head match up some of trump's allies worn harris may be more challenging opponent. >> of biden steps down harris is going to have to pick somebody to help her. if she does become the nominate this is a dramatically different race and it is right now today. i hope people are thinking about that on our side. alicia: joining us out senate candidate entrepreneur eric, really good to see you. i would like to put up a pole this is a cnn poll dated match ups of the trump and biden and trump an

senator mark warner had scheduled a meeting with senate democrats today, assembling a group to ask biden to step aside. but a source says because news of the meeting leaked to the media, it made it impossible to have the conversations between senators privately in the house. several top democrats are now privately saying biden should withdraw from the race, including congressman jerry nadler, adam smith, mark takano and joe morelli. five other democrats in congress have publicly called for biden to drop out the pressure comes after the president's debate performance and his interview friday with our george stephanopoulos. >> and if you stay in and trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in january? >> i feel as long as i gave it my all and i did the goodest job, as i know i can do. that's what this is about. >> that is the answer that most concerned me as well. this is not just about whether he gave it the best college try, but rather whether he made the right decision to run or to pass the torch in battleground pennsylvania this weekend, bid

evelyn: we've already seen leadership on the democrat side like mark warner among others, push to get and one has kamala harris, obviously, at the top of the ticket. she's the one with the access to the money. you can't blow off kamala harris at this point. democrats chose her. the people have voted, you know, the delegates have voted. she's there locked and loaded, so i'm expecting it to be kamala harris. the now question is who's going to be the vice president candidate there. so it could be gretchen whitmer, that's been talking about talked about, you know? if it also could be the governor of pennsylvania, shapiro, that's another name that i heard this weekend that is being considered. so we'll see. but, certainly, it's going to be a long couple of months for joe biden given this increasing push within his own party to step the aside. jill, the first lady, remaining defiant. we'll see how it plays out. i'm talking about it this morning with michael whatley. he's the chairman of the rnc. and, of course, now, will, we're one weak away from the -- week away from the republican convent
