here's what schiff says in part. he says our nation is at a crossroads.undermine the very foundation of our democracy and i have serious concerns about whether the president can defeat donald trump in november. while the choice to withdraw from the campaign as president biden's alone, i believe it is time for him to pass the torch." agree with what schiff said about trump or not, there is a very powerful california democrat who could be a california senator very soon because it looks like it will win that race in november saying it's time for biden to go. how does this move the needle? >> in a huge way i don't think i'm overstating this, john. this is not just the democratic senate nominee in california. this is one of pelosi's biggest allies. i can't imagine him doing this without some tacit nod from nancy pelosi. fact tara palmeri underscoring that point from the news talking to a whole aide who said this. this is nancy pelosi using her drone. it's the same as obama using clooney. when you add that to what nbc is reporting nbc's reporting that chuck sch

but what about that speech from adam schiff?— adam schiff? they are very close. adam schiff?y are in the california delegation and congressman schiff was a part of her leadership team and they were in policy committees together. i do think that the party has tried to give president biden a graceful exit by communicating these concerns privately and that is why you say there is only one senator in 18 house members, many people have been trying to have this conversation privately. an as we have seen the legs from conversations he has had from democratic caucuses —— leaks like the ones he had with the pro— economic caucus, they have been difficult conversations. they are trying to give him the grace and dignity because they believe the last four years were good yes but the election is about the next four years. reporting from abc news there was a conversation between senator schumer and the president biden and senator schumer saying it would be better if he went.— better if he went. how difficult _ better if he went. how difficult is _ better if he went. how difficult is that? i

congressman schiff, final question for you. you know very well you've been around the block for a while. no one is a perfect candidate. what does vice president kamala harris need to do to win this election? what does she need to do better to put her over the top? well, you know, it's hard when you're vice president because all the attention is on the president. she was very instrumental in some of the signature achievements of the biden harris administration, with the infrastructure bill, with chips and science, with the, with the inflation reduction act. but now she will be on that big stage as leading our ticket. i know that she is up to that challenge. i think she is demonstrating it already a comfort with the leadership role that she has been thrust into. so i think she just needs to keep up the extraordinary job that she's doing. and it is wonderful that the party is, again, so unified, going on to make sure that we defeat donald trump and we protect our democracy. it is going to be an extraordinary 3 or 4 months ahead. a

senate candidate adam schiff.chiff arrived in the bay area today for a weekend of campaign events. he sat down with us for an hour ago to talk about democrats new presidential ticket and his own senate race. representative schiff, thank you so much for coming in and talking with us today to be with you. good to see you. look, on july 17th, you issued a statement when democrats were still quite divided, asking president biden to think about passing the torch now that he has. how how do you feel about that? and maybe a small role that you played in that? >> well, it was hard to make that ask because he's been such a great president. he's done so much for the country and i just have also a great deal of affection for the president. but i really felt it was time. it was important. uh- we need to win this election. and now that it's happened, i think he's done another great service to the country. i'm very excited about kamala harris's campaign. she's off to an incredible start. we're seeing enthusiasm in the party tha

we're up to 22 in the house, including adam schiff. we see some more prominent democrats come out and that happens over say the next 48 to 72 hours. now we're past the republican convention and we're into a period where we start paying attention to what comes next and what comes next is the democratic convention. so look for that increased role for the vice president. an issue that's not going to go away. it's going to be really hard for democrats to deny her the nominate or at least some favorite status as the vice president, a given her stature. so democrats don't want that ugly fight as well. joe biden and democrats would have to work all of this out or walk through this, which also advantages him this incumbent to stay in the race and to move forward. and we've seen some movement on the poles of the democrats on the hill are really worried about what happens down ballot because if they think that joe biden doesn't have the mojo to beat donald trump, they're worried about what happens now since senate to check donald trump. if you w

adam schiff. >> thank you, press. >> congressman adam schiff a close ally to nancy pelosi announced while the choice to withdraw from the campaign is president biden's alone, i believe it is time for him to pass the torch. >> those words are now being closely scrutinized for any signs of a greener light from nancy pelosi. a close ally to schiff and one of a few democratic heavyweights who could push the president to change his mind about staying on the ticket. bret? >> bret: so, jacqui, diagnosed with cody. he has canceled these remarks tonight, which is a late change. today he told bet that he would rethink his presidential run if he was diagnosed by his doctors by a medical condition. that's the first time he has really kind of said something like that. >> jacqui: yeah, weighs answering a question that was talking about whether he would take a cognitive test or in the past he has said that he just doesn't need one because the doctors have not called for it. and sort of laying out the ground work

murphy: i served with adam schiff on the january 6 select committee. is sincere in his concerns for the future of this country, should there be a second trump term. i find it interesting that he is one of three top national security democrats to come out and call for the president to step down as the candidate. we have the head of the intel, jim himes, the head of armed services adam smith, as well as adam schiff here. i think that is quite telling. these are all people who represent blue districts. there is not really a reason for them, it is not like they are in a frontline district or one where they have to appeal to more republicans. they are doing it from an informed place, and a sincere place, concern about the country and the party. and i look at the poll numbers and i think, it was going to be a difficult race. but when you have those numbers showing that your base is not supportive of your candidacy, i think it becomes an impossible race. sumi: does this look for republicans? imagine the strategy here is to lead democrats fight among themselve

schiff, it's a real pleasure to you here.me. >> good to be with you. >> i feel like the seriousness of this ruling is sort of slowly sinking in over the course of the day. i think the initial headlines suggested they might have limited scope. but as your reaction indicates, and i think as we're all starting to understand now, this is one of the most far-reaching approaches they could have taken to this issue and goes far beyond what even i think conservative observers thought they would do. do you think that's fair? >> i think that's more than fair. it really is difficult to overstate what a dangerous precedent they have set, how they have essentially unshackled the presidency to commit crimes. the court really without mincing words has told the american people a president of the united states is fully authorized to commit crime. it is simple as that. the court has found that the rule of law applies to everyone with one exception. it does not apply to the president of the united states. the very person most in need of constra

you saw what adam schiff said today. and you have new reporting tonight about a meeting that took place saturday, not a lot of people heard about this, because obviously of the horror in pennsylvania involving donald trump. but chuck schumer went to joe biden, in delaware, the president, and had a meeting with him and came out and simply said, it was a good meeting. >> this was a tough meeting, david. and i am told that the pressure from democratic leaders for biden to get out of the race is intensifying. in fact, one person who has been out there publicly defending biden told me just a short while ago, biden is going to see the whole house of cards come down soon. as for that meeting in rehoboth, delaware, i'm told that this was a one-on-one meeting, just the senate leader and the president, and that chuck schumer forcefully made the case that it would be better for biden, better for the democratic party, and better for the country if he were to bow out of the race. and david, when i went to schumer's office to ask them

>> well i was tired of seeing adam schiff put politics above everything else.r left of the democratic party. >> jesse: you mean the anti-semitism? >> it was leading directly to violence against jews. i did not see adam schiff voting for the weapons that israel needs to protect itself. and then i met mr garvey and israel recently and he was completely authentic. he took the time to come to israel first of all during a war. which no other democrat did that that i'm aware of. and i really respected his fearlessness where the party is lacking a fearless leader. he's moderate enough in the social issues that i feel comfortable voting for him i don't think i am sacrificing any of my values. in fact i was in jerusalem this last trip and i can feel my grandparents talking to me when i'm at the western wall. they don't say things like make sure you vote according to your party line. i was hearing things like, you know, you need to have moral clarity and i believe that mr garvey is the candidate for me. >> jesse: steve, you wonder because you look at adam schiff and his

we heard from congressman adam schiff. we hear that he had a private conversation with speaker nancy pelosi. what's going to make the difference and make his decision whether or not he will you mentioned schiff, pelosi, schumer, jeffries. i suspect a former president obama has had more than one conversation, an awful lot of stuff going on here. look what he said way back when. way back when meeting 3 or 4 weeks ago. i'm not going to go. there's no reason for me to go. okay. because just because the party leaders want me to go doesn't mean i should go. i think the people want me to stay. take a look at that. not so much. 65. in a poll recently released last night say that the president should withdraw. and by the way, among independents, more than three fourths say he should he should withdraw. so now he's got the final piece of the puzzle in terms of the information that he needs. will he buck not only the leaders, but the public and his party as well? the voters? that's saying a lot. so those are the kinds of things that

i don't have adam schiff's phone tapped but i would be shocked if adam schiff did not talk to nancy pelosi before he did this or at least thought he had her blessing. nancy pelosi, remember, katy, has said on "morning joe" just a couple of weeks ago that joe biden has to make up his mind whether he wants to run again, after he publicly made up his mind that he was going to run again. i am not surprised here because "the new york times" reported yesterday that schiff said they're going to lose the house and senate. but when you have somebody who's about to win statewide elected office in one of the largest states in america, one of the most important states for democrats in america, democratic donors, activists, et cetera, that's a humongous statement. >> mem, how does the white house feel about this? there's also news that the dnc is going to slide the nominating process just a bit. >> reporter: that's right, katy. it's interesting because when you talk about adam schiff and jake lays this out so well, i know him from my time at the los angeles times covering capitol hill and the investiga

clearly at least for adam schiff, the answer is no.pen the door for others. where do you think this whole process that joe biden says isn't going to go anywhere stands right now to get him to step down? >> yeah, i mean, the thing that's so important to remember and really zero in on about adam schiff is that he is so close to former speaker nancy pelosi, and we know and we've reported in "politico" playbook and others have followed as well, is she has been taking phone calls and talking to members of congress, especially front liners about what they should do and about her own concerns about the possibility of president biden staying in and tanking not only his own race, right, but also having a down ballot impact. so it's really important when you think about adam schiff doing this, what people are going to take from this, members of congress who haven't -- who haven't publicly said anything but feel the same thing adam schiff is talking about today is that nancy pelosi has endorsed this. this is a wink and a nod from one of the nancy

we will talk about that with adam schiff.y, today's supreme court decision on donald trump's immunity claim is far worse than anything i imagined. under this ruling a president can order the assassination or jailing of their political rival and be immune. they can take a bribe in exchange for an official act and still be immune. they can organize a military coup to hold onto power and still be immune. if that sounds mad, that's because it is." that was the response from congressman adam schiff who knows something about trying to hold a president accountable. he served on the january 6th investigation after trump left office. he has been a very frequent target, of explicit threats from trump once posted he, has not paid the price yet, for what he has done to our country. he also suggested schiff should be arrested for treason after he appeared to fantasize talking about execution. members of the january 6th should be put in jail. a second term president trump would have brought new immunity from prosecution for actions he migh

well, kyra, i had a chance to sit down with congressman adam schiff. and i have to tell you, it was a fascinating conversation. he is among those who does not think that president biden calmed the concerns that, quite frankly, the panic among democrats with that interview on abc, in part because he didn't commit to a cognitive test, congressman schiff said both he and trump should actually have a cognitive test, but he was also concerned about he was asked, how would you feel if you lost to former president trump? and president biden said, well, as long as i give it my all. congressman schiff said that was one of the answers that concerned him. the most. so i thought that was really striking. i also asked him about vice president kamala harris. do you think she could win? do you think she could win this race convincingly? overwhelmingly, something that congressman schiff has said is necessary because this is going to be a close race. it's a deeply divided electorate, he said. yes, he does. so just a fascinating conversation that underscores democrats a

congressman adam schiff is now urging president biden to exit the race. in a statement, schiff said he, quote, had serious concerns about whether the president can defeat donald trump in november. schiff is one of the most prominent democrats so far to call on biden to step down after the president's rough debate performance in late june, nbc has reached out to biden's campaign for comment. if or when we get one, we'll pass it along. well, it may be hard to believe, but levi's stadium turns ten today. that's ten years of really incredible memories with another one right around the corner. nbc bay area's bob redell is live outside the stadium in santa clara, and time must be on your side because tonight's celebration has a pretty well known house band. yeah, from the likes of mick, keith and ronnie talking about the rolling stones. gentleman over here. he's dutch. i'm not sure. hey, did you come from holland? just for the concert. did you? yeah this guy is off camera. he just came from holland, just for the concert. we met a mother and daughter who came fr

schiff repeats that. saw that it's biden's choice, but that there is a choice he prefers, and that's to pass the torch, securing his legacy, says schiff, and allowing democrats to defeat donald trump. president biden, meantime, has covid. he has stepped off the campaign trail recovering in delaware. we last saw the president at this family restaurant in las vegas. not saying he got it there. that's just the last time we saw him in public. the announcement came just hours after biden said, somewhat off the cuff, the only thing that would keep him from running again would be his health. nbc's coverage of the republican national convention continues this evening, starting at 6:00, right here on nbc. bay area and san francisco republican party plans to gather tonight to watch former president trump's acceptance speech. that watch party scheduled at trinity bar and restaurant along union street. it begins at six tonight. well, turning now to the san francisco mayoral race this morning, mayor london breed super

senate candidate adam schiff is in the bay area for his own campaign events this weekend.veral topics, including this week's washington, d.c, visit by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and schiff explained why he did not join some of his fellow democrats in congress who boycotted netanyahu's address. >> i've never boycotted a an address before congress, and i also have respect for the state to state relationship between the united states and israel. i think it's a very important alliance for us. but i have deep disagreements with the prime minister, and there are times, many times over the last nine months, where it has appeared that the prime minister believes it's politically advantageous for him in his right wing coalition to pick a fight with president biden. >> schiff also talked about the democrats new presidential candidate. he was one of the house members who prosecuted former president trump in his impeachment trial. he says the strategy that led to the impeachment might help kamala harris's campaign. in the lead up to the election. >> what i ended up piv

congressman schiff. welcome back to "meet the press." you for being here. >> great to be here. >> it is great to have you here. i want to get your gut reaction from friday night. the president trying to turn the page. based on what you saw, do you think he is still the strongest candidate to beat former president trump? >> ultimately, this is a decision president biden will have to make and president biden alone, but i would say this, he has been an extraordinary president. he has created millions and millions of jobs. he has expanded and strengthened our nato alliances and brought back manufacturing in this country and brought about the most aggressive attack on climate change and he's done more in one term than most presidents do no matter what they get and he's running against someone who is a pathological liar. someone who ran the country into the ground. not only someone who is a pathological liar, but is immoral, indecent and unfit for office, but the performance on the debate stage i think rightfully raised questions among the ame

adam schiff wouldn't operate any other way. he is heavily networked with her. this is a big signal. there is now 22 democrats in the house that are calling for joe biden to come off the ticket. we have seen polling information indicating that for the diagnosis will not help that, and you have also seen stories in the last 24 hours that have been going after -- so i'll he thought things might have been past this given the events of the last weekend and the attempted assassination of donald trump, the democrats might be past this but it doesn't look like they are past this and this will continue to be a controversy even after this week's convention for republicans in milwaukee. >> what do you expect tonight , and what might jd vance's selection tell us about a potential second tour for trump will play out? >> jd vance has to lay out his biography tonight. we are going to see that. the biography, the talk about less anger, tnt. what is the timing light here for what he puts forward? what are the numbers? what are they talking about with these folks? this has extended beyond ohio, conce

here's adam schiff, a prominent member, adding his voice to this effort to aos. biden from this race because of concerns about his viability. this is what he says in his statement. he says our nation is at a crossroads. a second trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of democracy. and i have serious concerns about whether the president can defeat donald trump in november, while the choice to withdraw from the campaign is president biden's alone, i believe it is time for him to pass the torch and in doing so secure his legacy of leadership by allowing us to defeat donald trump in the upcoming election. now, this is the first member who has come out since the assassination of time on saturday, a former president donald trump, and they needed aftermath of that, democrats were keeping their powder dry, they were not really speaking about this publicly they given the seriousness and gravity of the situation involving the former president than the republican national convention kicked off here in milwaukee, where i am right now and talk publicly has subsid
