now to peter doocy in iowa where joe biden is not holding back either. peter? >> neil, so far this cycle, joe biden hasn't really been offering real-time reaction to controversies involving president trump. but that stopped today. >> he's a threat to our standing on the. the d-day ceremonies. it was astounding to me that he was tweeting attacks on everybody from the mayor of london to bette midler. >> the former vp's campaign set out fewer than 100 chairs for attendees in his first event. these are people that like to see and hear from candidates multiple times before pledging their support. biden defends his decision not to show up when 19 other can did did show up. he told a fund raiser with high-dollar bob -- lobbyists that he would have skipped anything for that graduation, including his own inauguration if it comes to that. so when he talks about things like that it's clear he's really not paying any attention to the two dozen or so democrats running. he's focusing on trump. >> four years of donald trump will be viewed as an aberration in american history.

his correspondent peter doocy. >> the trip to the democratic nomination started with a left turn. >> yes we are supposed to have a 77% tax rate on the wealthy. yes, we are supposed to be free college. because let's not forget that someone in the trans community, a trans female is poor, that doesn't mean that she shouldn't have the right to exercise that right to choose. >> those lines represent a departure from democratic nominees in the past and the dnc is delighted. >> they were talking about the serious issues. >> today perez got an ear full upset at the lack of climate change questions. >> i encouraged them to have more discussion about this issue. >> who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government run plant, just a show of hands to start out with. lauren at center stage escaped scrutiny from others. at baidoa rock right next to her didn't. called out for opposing a measure that would decriminalize border crossing. >> i think it's a mistake. >> what grade would you give yourself? >> i would give myself in and . >> that includes bill de blasio who br

peter doocy reporting from iowa. peter? >> shep, a month ago, the last time joe biden came to iowa, he slugged off the threat of china saying the chinese are not competitors of the united states. today an about face. he says china is a threat and he thinks president trump should be tougher than he has been. >> we should be rallying our friends to take on china's abusive practices around the world. i mean our friends in the region instead of alienating them, whether it's south korea, japan, any of the other folks in the region that have been our allies relative to china. improve our defenses so companies don't have to give tech capability. >> joe biden is back in iowa for the first time since historic floods left my farms under water and as the levels go down, climate change is a part of his pitch to attack the president. he gave a shout out to greenpeace protesters that had a sign that showed he's in the middle of the pack on climate. he doesn't think that is right and tonight he will elaborate to say "still trump denies cl

none other than peter doocy on the ground, columbia, south carolina as the speeches are, it looks like taking a bit of a pause, peter. >> it's lunchtime here in south carolina, leland where joe biden is the front runner, but he doesn't speak until the end. day, so the rest of the field is here making themselves heard. particularly today, kamala harris, who was the first contender of the day at the convention center and who made a grand entrance surrounded by a drum line before taking the stage and trying to turn president trump's signature slogan against him. >> i know that we have in this white house a president who says he wants to make america great again, well, what does that mean? does that mean he wants to take us back to before schools were integrated? does that mean he wants to take us back before the voting rights act was enacted? does that mean he wants to take us before the civil rights act was enacted? does he want to take us back to before roe vs wade was enacted? because we're not going back. >> harris was at jim cliburn's fish fry with most of those except for pete butti

>> bret: peter doocy live in west des moines. peter, thanks.se democrats have approved a resolution setting the stage for civil action against president trump and his administration over refusals to comply with subpoenas. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has specifics tonight. >> the house resolution that passed along strict party lines allows democrats to sue to enforce subpoenas for attorney general william barr and former white house counsel don mcgahn. the language does not include contempt, democrats used it freely, provoking a sharp rebuke from republicans. >> fundamentally it is an impeachment effort in everything but name. >> mr. speaker, just look at the unnecessary contempt citation against attorney general barr. >> the people's house will continue to fight to make the truth known to the american people and will defend congress' rule under article 1. >> leaving for iowa, the president unloaded on the house speaker who took a shot at him earlier in the day. >> nancy is a please. the democratic party is a mess. they a

peter doocy in d.c. peter. >> republicans now what this is going to be.ut the campaign tomorrow. democrats have no idea what their ticket is going to be, and they don't officially handout a nomination until next july, but there are a few big names who are showing signs of strength against the incumbent president right now and a new fox news poll mike. joe biden has a double-digit lead uptown on trump. bernie sanders, just about the there. then there are three candidates leading within the margin of error. little better idea today about what kind of traits are most valuable for the candidate at this point. more important for primary voters to find a democratic candidate who has high ethical standards than it is finding a candidate who can beat president trump. at the joe biden pitch that we have been hearing hinges on strength against the president had to head without much discussion about winning the primary or caucus. he is going to campaign heavily in the south, particularly in florida, georgia, texas, and south carolina. possibly expanding the electora

peter doocy with the live look in washington. >> he said that he thinks he could be president had to head. he is still going for a couple minutes and we are waiting for more headlines but joe biden has not really come to events like this where he takes the stage for a few minutes and he is immediately followed by another contender who is trying to replace him as a front runner. biden is generally the only headliner. in the next few minutes he will be followed by bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and connelly. harwich. he said something in his official capacity as south bend's mayor and that is the aftermath of the deadly police involved shooting. his campaign has not been attracting as much attention as anyone else. $7 million in april, which means he made as much in this month as he did the quarter before. the fox news poll says he's tied with kamala harris and at one point behind elizabeth warren. miles ahead of them all is joe biden with 32%. they all got leads though with a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. kamala harris also up by just one. elizabeth warren stretches her lead to

peter doocy looks at the proposal and why it may have sounded familiar. >> the front of for the democrats doesn't have a lot of details about his own plan to combat climate change. >> i'm sure you will go to joebiden.com to find out the details. >> a handful of plagiarized passages. and activist tweeted screenshots like this one about carbon capture and storage, quote, a widely available cost-effective and rapidly scalable solution to reduce carbon emissions to meet new century climate goals which is word for word the same as that by the carbon capture coalition. it has been updated with citations but it is not the first time he has been accused of copying someone else at work. in 1987 his potential campaign was doomed when he lifted quotes as a lawsuit student and politician from figures including rfk and the british labour party's neil senate. >> i made some mistakes but not exaggerated shadow of those mistakes is the can to secure the essence of my candidacy in the essence of joe biden. >> reporter: the main points, $1.7 trillion new spending to reach net 0 emissions by 2050, 15 years

peter doocy and des moines, iowa, with all you need to know about the battle for iowa and politics, peter. >> peter: shannon, west des moines, president trump did something completely unexpected, he completely ignored joe biden. he briefly alluded to an eight year apology to her while mentioning the previous administration. he did mention bernie sanders by name but never the front runner, biden. instead, he chose to spend most of his time trying to define the democratic party broadly by policy proposals like medicare for all and the green new deal. every day, the democrat party is becoming more and more unhinged. they are going crazy. do you love it? >> peter: but biden was on the e presidents mind earlier today because the president sees and what he sees and biden's shortness is after the biden campaign a long list of new attacks on the president. >> he looks different than he used to. he acts different than he used to. he is even slower than he used to be so i don't know. but when he mentions my name that many times, i guess i should be complemented. >> peter: president trump attended t

peter doocy has more from washington. peter?harris, for the second weekend in a row, hundreds of influential activists gather together to watch dozens of presidential candidates try and separate themselves from the pack. for the second weekend in a row, joe biden didn't show. so other candidates, hoping to replace a mess frontrunner, shared promises of something new and activists heard less about decades of experience. >> we are not going to win by playing it safe. or promising a return to normal. we are where we are because normal broke, and we democrats can no more problems a return to the '90s then republicans can deliver on the promised to return us to the '50s. >> contenders like mayor pete weren't the only ones jabbing at joe biden for being absent. andrew yang piled on, too. >> when i saw the program for today i hope the same thing you wanted, which is this -- joe biden must really not like to travel.

peter doocy following the story in washington. peter? >> harris, under the part of his plan for the future includes a plan from the past. >> the first thing i would do, day one as president, i would rejoin the paris climate accord, which we, barack and i, took on together. >> they want to get your net zero emissions in the u.s. in 30 years, by 2050 he wants to do that by investing $1.7 trillion in new technology that he thinks could create 10 million new job jobs. he talked to the new hampshire about lining highways with electric car charging stations, using the example set by electric scooters that are everywhere in big cities now. progressives are not all satisfied. the sunrise movement, which supports a green new deal and describes themselves as an army of young people set to stop climate change, writes us on twitter. "while there are lots of good things in the plan, it doesn't hurt a clear course of how biden would move america off of fossil fuels and towards sustainable energy." something else biden alluded to this afternoon were al

peter doocy, in washington. peter?is, this is the week candidates are fine-tuning their patches, because next week the whole world is going to be watching on the debate stages and these new fox news poll's reveal which campaigns might nod which might want to rewrite part of the stump speech. joe biden cruising along just fine. he is up one point since march, the clear front runner. bernie sanders experiencing the opposite. the democratic socialist senator is down ten in this poll since march. elizabeth warren in single digits but her 9% is more than double her support in march. pete buttigieg has grown the most. 8% now, up from just 1% in march. he is tied with kamala harris, who has 8% today and who had 8% back in march. so it is bernie sanders trying to stabilize his campaign today. >> of the polls go up, polls go down. the other part of the pole, if i heard you correctly, chris, is that i am beating president trump fairly decisively, which is consistent with all of the polling that i have seen. i think it, frankly,
