also congratulating harris, former republican vice presidential nominee sarah palin. in an instagram post, palin offered some advice, including trust no one new. fight to keep your own team with you. and don't forget the women who came before you. palin, you may remember, was on the ticket with senator john mccain of arizona back in 2008. she was the second woman to be on the ticket of a major political power. this woman, geraldine ferraro of new york, was the first back in 1984. >>> we have seen kamala harris firsthand climb the political ladder. even tonight there's already speculation that she'll run for president in 2024. she doesn't shy away from her ambition, but she does keep her expectations in check. here's an interview from 2012 when she was california's attorney general. >> is it flat ring to hear your name? every hot list that comes up, it's kamala harris with senator, governor, supreme court, attorney general of the united states. flattering, or do you kind of put it on the side? >> i am so superstitious, truly. i am completely focused on what i'm doing no

sarah palin did a lot of harm. first thing, he's running ahead. he doesn't want to hurt his campaign right now. he wants loyalty above all else. he had a good relationship with barack obama. one of the reasons was that even though biden disagreed with him an awful lot particularly on foreign policy, he kept his mouth shut when obama made a decision and saluted him and said, okay, that's it. and then the other thing is comfort level. biden is somebody who believes he can judge people, size them up, feel like -- understand whether he's going to be able to get along with that person and trust that person. and i think that's why this process has taken some time because i guarantee you those conversations, knowing joe biden, have gone on for a long time. >> yeah. we thought we would be finding out about this august 1st, right? and here we are just a few days away from the democratic convention starting. so, lots to discuss, everyone stand by. we are going to continue to follow this breaking news. joe biden set to announce his running mate at any moment

if you look at john mccain when he picked sarah palin, walter mondale picking geraldine ferraro, they needed excitement. joe biden would love nothing more than the race to stay status quo. that is a lead nationally and key battleground states according to the public polls. i will say i agree with chris. the trump campaign is having at least out of the gate different messages from the rnc and the trump folks about how to go after kamala harris. but if you just look at her voting record, gov track, a bipartisan group, has her the most liberal senator according to her votes. the lugar center out of georgetown has a bipartisan index ranking senators. she comes in at number 88 for working across the aisle to give you a perspective. susan collins is number 1, bernie sanders is last. so just by the numbers, you can make that case. it's tougher in what she did in the presidential campaign because she was on different sides. >> dana: donna brazile joins us, a fox news contributor. i wonder if you could tell us about an inside scoop that you heard about the reaction to this pick. i know the dem

i didn't care for sarah palin, and i am a woman. [laughter] i would just like to hear your comments on that. guest: of course. of course. what i think i hear you saying is you have more excitement for people that align with your own policy preferences or how you see the world. to add backmportant into this conversation. right? that this is making history because we have never seen -- america has never seen a woman of color vp. what will fall from this our conversations around these groups have been marginalized because it is a first, but what my research is showing and the americany of population demographics are that we will continue to see these first spot will matter in different and unique ways. in my own research, what i find speak tocians have to the policy preferences of their particular groups they are trying to reach out to. in the past, that was not the case. when i first started doing research on black elected officials in the early 2000's, i was told different things about voters from black elected officials -- black vot

and sarah palin, a question for any number of reasons. or she wouldn't be qualified. people wondered about who would take care of her kids. or would she be the vice president. people talked about her clothing. that she pent too much money on her clothing and obviously hillary clinton faced some of those same comments in 2016. the idea that somehow her laugh was off putting and may be fake. so i think you'll see the same kind of forces and comments raid against harris, but again, she has been on the national stage. she has been on the stage in california. this really huge stage with a very vibrant democratic party and managed to work her way up to this position. not an easy feat for an african-american woman. an indian american woman as well, but she managed obviously to do that and you see in donald trump, somebody who's so use d o using a kind of race baiting language and sexist language. you see him going to his playbook, a playbook that worked so well for him in 2018 against hillary clinton. you see him going against harris in that same way in some of his comments.

this morning, sarah palin weighing in. >> joe biden put himself in a pickle by excluding demographicsocratic nominee joe biden has promised to choose a woman as his running mate. as the first female republican vice presidential nominee, palin says biden's pick will face more scrutiny than a man would. >> i was asked, how are you going to do this with children? granted, i just had a baby. people weren't able to know my accomplishments, who i was, my experience, what i stood for, what i could add to the ticket. and instead the rollout of the campaign kind of went along with media, letting it be more about personality. >> reporter: an announcement on biden's choice is expected monday, a week before the convention. biden now saying he won't travel to milwaukee due to coronavirus concerns. instead, he'll accept the nomination in his home state of delaware. in the meantime, the trump campaign is suing nevada after democrats there passed a law sending ballots to every registered voter and allowing ballots to be counted even after election day. our kyra phillips pressing the president. >> cou

at the end of the day what we saw, again, was, he picked sarah palin.s a little bit of a bump right after the convention, but there was quite a gender gap in that election as well, and it benefited barack obama, the democratic candidate. host: this is the cover story of time magazine in 1984. 12 years later in 1996 we sat down with her and she recounted the experience she went through in being selected. let's watch a portion of that interview. [video clip] >> that sounds like it was a quick decision, it was a long process. the country had started talking about the possibility of a woman on the ticket in december 1983. by the time i was platform chair and was going around the country, i was hearing, you're going to be the vice presidential candidate. time in a period of which he met representatives from around the country. he also invited out a bunch of us to talk about what our views were on the vice presidency. now that was going on and never really thought that was going to happen. i thought it was a nice thought that we would talk about opening doors

sarah palin, this was a situation where john mccain and the people who worked on john mccain's campaign acknowledged, he didn't know what they were getting with palin, but they were willing to take a shot because they knew they were facing a very uphill. this time around, that is not the case. if you look at the media coverage, if you look at the responses to kamala harris being named vice president, there is no discussion of this being a hail mary pass. this has just been seen as a strong woman put on the ticket because it makes the ticket stronger. cindy.wo -- to you are on with professor lawless. caller: thank you for taking my call. i have been an independent since i started to vote. i don't believe that people should stay in office for years and years. i believe in term limits. i believe we should go to public funding. i wish they had chosen the black woman who was the police chief. i think that would have been a verse of the of thought. i'm a little bit tired of politicians all being attorneys, because i believe they all think the same. not to vote for anybody who is an attorney.

rick: when john mccain made his selection of sarah palin, he was 15 points back.ithup against the wall the convention next week, much like the timing with this pick. he had to shake it up. it was a big risk-reward kind of option. joe biden exemplifies the pick of a candidate who is 15 points up. barack obama when he picked joe biden. he was the safe pick, steady eddie. that is what he has done with kamala harris. i would say that one core element of this is that the democratic party need a big black turnout for election day. it is what escaped from their quotient in 2016 when trump won. styleeed a barack obama 2008, to hunt -- 2012. they are banking on kamala harris to drive some of that. and she should. she is well known in the community. i don't think it is a risky bet. emily: let's talk about the environment that this is happening in. kamala harris, the first black woman on the ticket. the first asian-american woman on the ticket, in the middle of the black lives matter movement, some of the his criticisms of her is that she was too tough as a prosecutor on afr

women to make it to the vice presidential slot for a major party following geraldine ferraro and sarah palin. she's making history of her own as first women of color to be vice presidential nominee for a major party. harris is the daughter of immigrants. her mother from india. her father from jamaica. this is quite the historic ticket as biden had faced some pressure to select a woman of color as his running mate. biden and harris will appear together for the first time as the democratic ticket here in wilmington, delaware. they are delivering remarks later in the day on wednesday and following that they will hold a grassroots virtual fundraiser with their supporters as they are trying to energize democrats and supporters heading in to the november election. >>> thank you so much for that. it didn't take long for president trump to offer his assessment of kamala harris as joe biden's running mate. >> a little surprised he picked her. i've been watching her for a longtime and afc little surprised. she was extraordinarily nasty to kavanaugh and i won't forget that. so she did very poorly in th

vetted, she went through her presidential campaign and was ready to walk into it in a way that sarah palinin 2008 and whether that's fair were not fair for her, it's just true and she just wasn't ready. kamala harris went through 14 presidential debates in the primary and i don't think she's going to get a lot of stuff that she hasn't seen before in this general election. >> dana: are you a little surprised? she didn't catch fire in the presidential election but seems to have won some democratic hearts and minds in the past 48 hours. >> it's really interesting. she has been a star. her opening was way better than most people thought, and she is just on the role right now. has become the new democratic star of american politics. i'm actually not surprised -- it's really true great if you go back to her senate career and some of the things she's done, she's always been a prime time player. supreme court hearings, some other things, she is always use those moments, a very good communicator. >> dana: jim messina, thank you for giving us that perspective, take care, thank you. and next, we've g

the first thing that sarah palin advises senator harris is don't trust anyone new. don't trust anyone new. this is someone who's going to be the vice president of the united states. and i want to make a point about how that plays out when you -- in 2020 and a guy comes into the room, he's 5'7" tall, he's a doctor, he's the leading infectious disease expert in the world, he's worked for six presidents, but, hey, i don't know him. he didn't work in trump tower. he didn't work with me in the alaska governor's office, so i don't know him, i'm not going to listen to him, i'm going to trust my gut. and that type of rejection of expertise, the desire to surround yourself with cronies, the desire to attain power, but do none of the work that is required of people who are vested responsibility and obligation, that's what i saw in that letter. and i thought it was abysmal advice for anyone to give any person who's running for national office at the level that kamala harris is. the good thing we know for sure is that kamala harris is no sarah palin. >> and alicea, it is admitt

. >> alaska governor sarah palin became a household name in 2008. >> they are there to play the bad copidential nominees good cop. usually what that does is create a tremendous amount of animosity. >> after 2008, sarah palin never ran for president. she became an author and political commentator. this week she posted an instagram photo of her side-by-side with geraldine ferraro, the first woman to represent a major party for the vice presidential nomination. >> i proudly accept your nomination for vice president of the united states. >> after ferraro and walter mondale lost in the 1984 election, she ran for new york senate seat but lost twice in the primaries. she continued to make contributions to politics, even working at fox news. >> bret: last question. what about the possibility of a female resident in our time? >> well, there might be some people running in 2012 or 2016. i really do hope you'll invite me out to make comment. >> ferraro died in 2011. bob dole served as president ford's running mate while they lost the race, dole became the g.o.p. presidential nominee 20 years later

the idea standing on the shoulders of geraldine ferrero and sarah palin and here is some advice. it was conciliatory and a kind note. but tell me how you think the media is going to handle this and how they should handle it? on one hand, we have a responsibility to hold everybody to account for what they've said, for what they've done. on the other hand, you have -- and others -- have warned, and rightly so, we have a double standard in this country. we've got something that might be misogyny, might be sexism, but it prevents us from allowing women to advance as easily as men do in politics. >> i guess to put it simply, and i thought of this since our last conversation, ask yourselves would you say the same thing in describing a man? hold yourself to that simple standard. check yourself before you use language that has been historically used to describe women in positions of power but is derogatory, a double standard. if you hold yourself to that, we'll be all right. she and vice president biden are more than ready to have debates on substance and issues. they should be challenge

but also looking at who can be the future of the party in 2024, i agree with the speaker that sarah palintive difference. but joe biden initially he said that he was going to choose a black woman, he then backtracked and said that he would choose a woman. we do know that black women have been the foundation of the democratic party, might i even argue of democracy these past few decades. it would send a very strong signal to the party that there's an appreciation of all the talent that black women in elite-level positions have served. but also as the voting populous. now, i think that we face an existential crisis with the trump administration. if joe biden doesn't choose a black woman, i don't think the black voters will stay home but it will definitely send a message that the party th recognizes that black people continue to contribute to wins but when it comes to executive-level leadership we have to again wait our true. >> alice stewart, the trump campaign taking practice shots at everyone on the list. >> yeah, it's easy to do and that's part of the political game that we play. and i t

okay, but technically, for harris,in is ne so is she saying don't trust sarah palin?t is good advice. in addition to potentially attracting women and minority voters, harris clicks with some big-money donors, too. apparently, "wall street is happy," "silicon valley is happy," and "hollywood is fired up." finally, a candidate who speaks to the heartland. now, i've had senator harris on the show five times, always impressed with her, and i'm happy she's gotten this historic opportunity. but i have one beef with the senator: she is five months younger than i am. that's not going to sit well with certain me's. hopefully, in the general election she'll be smart enough to pivot toward being just slightly older than i am. one person who was not thrilled with biden's choice is his opponent, donald trump. yesterday, the president reacted to the harris announcement, and his criticism had a familiar ring to it. >> she was extraordinarily nasty. she was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing. she was probably nastier. she was very, very nasty. >> stephen: oh, my god! how

geraldine ferraro for the democrats, sarah palin.ah palin posted something on instagram that was con truck stiff and kind to kamala harris about how to stay true to herself in this moment. hillary clinton's campaign in 2016. we have never seen a woman of color on a presidential ticket, on a major party presidential ticket when it came to the nominees and going forth to that convention and standing up at the general election. all of the while in the democratic party, women of color, black women in particular, have been the absolute bull's-eye mainstay of the base of the labor of the party and of the hard political work of turning out the vote for the party. feels like finally the democratic party is matching the power of its most devoted constituency to its leadership and who it's putting forward. >> that's right. and the historic nature is so profound. when you look at 1972, when the first african american woman elected to congress, congresswoman shirley chisholm, she ran for president. that's how i got involved in politics. congress

and sarah palin has been sharing her advice on being a woman and a running mate. her tips for senator harris, trust no one new and fight to keep your own team with you and don't get muzzled and don't forget the women who came before you. >>> in a break with royal tradition. meghan markle plans on voting in the november election. explaining what she knows what it's like to have voice and be voiceless. >>> i'm anne makovec at the live news desk. and we are hearing from some people around the bay area who felt that earthquake that hit about 45 minutes ago in the north bay and the usgs just downgraded it to a 3.9. this is near the geysers north of healdsburg and south of clearlake. it hit 4:45 this morning and woke some people up in santa rosa and calistoga in napa a twitter user says it felt like a short jolt. even people in san francisco says they felt it. not expecting any real damage or injuries but we will keep an eye on that. back to you. >>> a headup. california's earthquake warning system will be added to all android phones. the new move from google means user

. >> governor sarah palin of the great state of alaska. >> reporter: sarah palin had a successful rollout, firing up conservatives. but she stumbled in interviews, raising questions about her knowledge and experience. when asked by katy couric what newspapers she read. >> i read most of them. >> reporter: what specifically, i'm curious. >> all of them, any of them. >> joining me now, nbc white house correspondent kristen welker, co-anchor of "weekend today," and susan page, washington bureau chief for "usa today," welcome, both. susan, that's a trip down memory lane. hits, run, errors. what is your take on who is the right, perfect candidate, given his age and everything else that is at stake for joe biden? >> you know, there's never a perfect candidate. you're always engaged in tradeoffs and calculations. and actually, what is more important i think is what this pick will tell us about joe biden, what it will tell us about what he really values, who he listens to, how he makes decisions, because at the end of the day, as you were pointing out in your piece, traditionally presidential can

geraldine ferraro in not been for 84 and sarah palin in 2008. spin in 2008, the moment was too inexperienced. the question heading into november for voters, is the 3rd time a charm? or will he be three strikes and out? >> even though he will be the 3rd man to put a woman on the ticket, biden can make history in another way. spin this would be a game changer for women of color. no woman has ever been, no black woman has ever been governor, but they could potentially be a vice president. >> former vice president biden's wife jill, was asked where her husband is in making a decision on the running met and she said, he is close. >>> how the state is working to keep students connected for distance learning and advice for parents who may get stumped while playing the role of teacher at home. >>> testing a new approach to treating coronavirus. what maitho soon it can be used. >>> it is taking longer than it has recently to get rid of these clouds. plenty of gray out there from the camera on treasure island looking at the city. this is the coolest state
