sherrod brown what are her prospects in ohio? i would say, if there's any democrat who could win in a red state it's sherrod brown. he has great popularity numbers compared to other democrats in red states. but it's difficult to see if donald trump wins by 12 points, 6 points, 8 points, that sherrod brown is going to be able to outrun biden by that much. i mean, this is actually here is what i would say, trump choosing j.d. vance will probably help bernie moreno in a big way and if he doesn't win there is an appointment around the corner. i have a sneaking suspicion that he will be in the senate one way or another. >> the down ballot worries, we've been talking about this more than a week after president biden's debate performance, democrats were worried that president biden at the top of the ticket was going to affect their down-ballot prospects, at the same time they've consistently polled better than president biden has in the national polling and there have been a number of special elections that have pointed to democrats bei

i don't know how many events and fundraisers and favors the president has done for sherrod brown. 06 against mike dewine. he ran in 2012, 2018. i have to think he owes joe biden. and i have to think the president in delaware is getting very close to grand ter reno moment where he tells nancy pelosi you're 84. barack obama, i haven't seen you in five years, all of you can take it and stuff it because i have never lost a general election. gerald ford came back from 33 points down. you didn't do too well in your first debate, president obama, you didn't do too well in your first debate ever, hillary clinton. he might be, unless he is a broken man physically, about to boil over. because this is very public. and it is very degrading. >> matthew, the people who are calling for him to resign, point back to the debate performance. they point to articles and podesta like seth moulton's. they point to an interview with bet where he can't think of the defense secretary's name and calls him a black man. they point to other recent things where it's physical. it's not like a missed debate moment

sherrod brown? i forgot the guys name. it will be sherrod brown all the way. and the former president, you will choose him and then sherrod brown? caller: no. i was just so who i want for vp. i think we need to give former president trump a chance because he said this experience has changed him. i, for one, believe that can happen. experienced that too. host: i am going to leave it there. we heard your point, thank you for calling in. i want to go back down to the floor. pedro echevarria. host: this is michelle from arizona. thanks for joining us. tell us about your interest in attending this event, what prompted that? guest: i recently got involved in politics not long ago. i am honored to have been selected as a delegate to represent our state. host: what got you interested in politics? guest: president trump. i got his text messages, the emails. i thought what a strange concept that he represents the people, you are asking with the people's opinions are. just praying for him, being on the wall for him, what he stood for. that is what got me involved in poli

i stand here today with my friend who is going to retire sherrod brown and retire sherrod brown and deliver -- we proudly cast are 79 votes for president donald j. trump. >> pursuant to the announcement of the delegation and the rules and procedures of this convention, iowa, 79 votes, president trump. american samoa, nine delegates. >> where our motto is, god is first. madam secretary, american samoa proudly and with all our hearts cast our vote in favor of our next president, donald j. trump. >> pursuant to the announcement of the delegation and the rules and procedures of this convention, american samoa, nine votes, president trump. wisconsin, 41 delegates. >> madam secretary, on behalf of the wisconsin delegation, we welcome everyone here to this 23rd place we call home, where 171 years ago, this great party was founded down the road in wisconsin in a little wooden schoolhouse. madam secretary, the great state of wisconsin probably casts all of its 41 votes for donald j. trump. >> pursuant to the announcement of the delegation and the rules and procedures of this convention, wisconsin, 4

and in the past couple hours, 0hio senator sherrod brown became the latest to do so.more democrats in the us house of representatives called for mr biden to step aside. they are among more than 30 house democrats who say publicly that they want biden replaced. meanwhile, republicans wrapped up their national convention in milwaukee with a 92—minute speech by donald trump. it's been less than a week since the former president narrowly escaped an attempt on his life — something trump described in detail in his speech. for more, here's our north america editor sarah smith — and a warning that this report begins with flashing images. with his name in lights, there is only one star in this party. in fact, the entire election is all about him. we were told he had changed, softened since the shooting, to sound like this. the discord and division in our society must be healed. i am running to be president for all of america, not half of america. there was a tribute to corey comperatore, the firefighter killed in the shooting. his funeral is taking place today. i'm not suppose

sherrod brown is someone that can outrun, has defied gravity before. bernie marino, the republican nominee is speaking tonight here. he still has to introduce himself to voters. i'm hearing he still needs to get up on air and defined himself in a way like brown has such a defined brand already. now with vance, we could also stash if marino is elected, he could quickly be the sink -- the senior senator from ohio. >> bob casey defending his seat in pennsylvania, pennsylvania a must win for both candidates. how is that race shaping up? >> we saw it lien democrat but we have seen some tightening presidential numbers. we still have pennsylvania in the electoral were -- electoral college tossup rating. senators casey, tester and brown have run into good democrat years, this will be a real test of that. republican david mccormick, he narrowly lost the nomination last time, putting a lot of his own money into the race. i think he will be casey's toughest challenger to date. these are all races i expect to tighten and casey can outrun president biden by how muc

, the republican party he marino held an impromptu news conference outside of sherrod brown's officethe heart to office building sherrod brown has been very, very close personal friends. >> joe biden for decades he knew that joe biden was in cognitive decline. it took george clooney a couple hours to figure that out to me weeks ago, sherrod brown is known for years now, sherrod brown also behind closed doors, said that he thinks that joe biden's gonna lose. >> he wouldn't go as far publicly yesterday when i asked him about it, but he said he's only responded to the concerns the voters successful. well, this is going to be part of the pressure. it's interesting because what republicans are actually may end up doing here is giving democrats more firepower to go to biden with, to try and get him to step down from his candidacy. and if he does that, these ads won't work for very much longer, obviously. so there is a bit and if that here at play, but this is going to be ammunition that democratic candidates on the house side, on the senate side are going to take to their leadership and be

pretty clear words there from sherrod brown earlier. i think the president should end his campaign., do you think?- is that, do you think? well, it's “ust is that, do you think? well, it's just one _ is that, do you think? well, it'sjust one in _ is that, do you think? well, it'sjust one in a _ is that, do you think? well, it'sjust one in a number- is that, do you think? well, it'sjust one in a number of| it's just one in a number of democrats who say that writing is on the wall for biden. they've been trying to get him see the light on this, without too much public pressure. but remember, sherrod brown is a democrat who is facing a very tough senate re—election campaign this year, and so he needs to distance himself from biden, who is an unpopular incumbent. and there are a lot of democrats who think that biden is going to drop out of the race in the next few days, especially since you need time to introduce the next presidential nominee to the american people and have them sell their case and become more well—known. so sell their case and become more well-known-_ well-known. so ho

ohio, sherrod brown. this is the j.d. vance question. in hindsight, the j.d.ick looks almost reckless, right? i feel confident that, if the democrats had switched their tickets before the republican convention, donald trump would not have picked -- we will say j.d. vance is a very niche kind of choice. because -- respectful disagreement -- i do not think he connects with people who share his story. i think he connects with a group of national conservative, ardent roman catholic -- there is a subset of the republican party that has intensely good feelings about j.d. vance, and that this is the message. but he also is this huge turnoff for women, right? the crazy cat lady line and all that stuff basically says, to the numbers ruy was talking about, you just continue to push those numbers apart, further and further. college-educated women. the j.d. vance pick, for donald trump, says to college educated, suburban women, we can win without you. we do not actually need you. we do not need nikki haley primary voters. we do not need -- crazy cat ladies are not welcome

but for the democrats who are in these tough races, the sherrod brown of the world. they really are putting on the pressure now because really this next week is a crucial window. if it's going to be someone that you have, you are talking about. >> some of these donors and it is sort of amazing and conversations i've had with these donors. there's almost a glean there's a power that they've never had before. it's like fantasy football. what ticket do we want in, in groups of very, very rich people influencing this? you've been reporting on texts that are coming from these donors to people up for reelection saying turn on biden, or else we cut it off for you too. yeah. i mean, i'm told i've i've seen these messages going from donors and bundlers who are talking to donors two candidates and two people who are fundraising on behalf of the candidate committees that are basically saying, we told you weeks ago biden needs to be off the ticket. we want someone else. some of the messages are even more explicit. we want to an open process. we don't want kamala harris. and so t

stephanie, sherrod brown of course the democrat senator from ohio who is seeking reelection. you think this means for what we will see from the trump-vance ticket in terms of a platform? stephanie: he picked j.d. vance because he has the impression of being for the working man, but if you peel back the layers and look at his trade policies and some things you stand for, it actually would really hurt working americans. a tariff policy, as the president and j.d. vance are supportive of, is a tax on middle america. i think as the debate and campaign moves forward, there will be an opportunity for democrats to highlight that. also his position on women's or productive rights is a real liability. sumi: what do you think about this ticket? rodney: this platform at the republican convention, nobody ever looks at those once the convention is over. it's considered moderate. donald trump actually had his will with this new republican platform that is short, concise, and wrapped around the trump and now vance agenda. i agree with stephanie on some of the issues when it comes to the econ

ohio, sherrod brown. now, this is the j.d. vance question. in hindsight the j.d. vance pick looks almost reckless. i have a feeling that if the democrats switched their ticket before the republican convention donald trump would not have picked-- we'll say that j.d. vance is a niche kind of choice because it's not, respectful disagreement, i don't think that it is he connects with people who share his story. i think he connects with a group of national conservative, ardent roman catholic, there is a subset of the republican party, the tougher subset of the republican party that has intensely good feelings about j.d. vance and that this is the message. but he also is this huge turnoff for women, right? the crazy cat lady line and all of that stuff, basically says to the numbers that they were talking about, you just continue to push those numbers apart further and further. college educated women, the j.d. vance pick for donald trump says to college educated suburb women, we can win without you, we don't need nikki haley primary voters, we don't need you, crazy cat l

then you have incredibly talented and well-respected politicians like sherrod brown, jon tester, whoined their own profiles as separate in certain ways from the national party, in ways that define them to the voters of their state. when you put those together, you put the more heterodox profiles of people like jon tester and sherrod brown together with massive voter enthusiasm among the democratic base, that is a winning combination. >> do you, i would assume, correct me if i'm wrong, in places like arizona ruben gallego is up three points even though trump was up six, nine point spread between the republican and democrat, jacky rosen, in nevada, is up five points, trump is up 30. biden is losing but the democrats on these two tickets are winning. the entrance of harris into the race is only going to help cement the democratic victory, do you think that is overly confident to say that in arizona and nevada or is that on the money? >> you never want to get too confident, all of our elections recently decided by incredibly close margins. arizona is always going to be a tough state, nev

sherrod brown has 50-50 odds against bernie moreno. host: joe biden had a caretaker from delaware when he was elected vice president, right? guest: ted kaufman, right. but he did not run for another term. host: cook political report is where you can see the work of david wasserman and his colleagues. joe, republican mine, good morning. caller: thanks for taking my call. i'm definitely disappointed in the way the media has been so incurious about the situation with biden. it's obvious long before his resignation that mr. biden lost many of his physical abilities. the democrats have led the american people on such a miss case of basically, ah, distorting reality. it's unbelievable. the media has been key in that. they have not led or worked hard to bring other states in for the american people. hopefully the media will hold the democrats accountable. who is running the country? susan rice? ron klain? what cadre have been running the country and allowing the kind of control of the presidency we have had here akin to what you would see in

ohio, sherrod brown, democratic incumbent, great personal brand back home. but donald trump's going to win that state or at least he has in the past by six or eight points just pick republican senator jd vance as his running mate. so democrats think they're in more trouble. you see sherrod brown raising money all the time. so what if that happened? what if this went over to read will try to click it over there you go. that would give right there. john tester again, a democrat with a great personal brand back home donald trump won by 16 points last time in montana, if joe biden's numbers are down even more than jon tester. hang on. so this is what democrats have been thinking about for months that these would be the two surfaces. but as you see, these speakers come to the stage tonight. here's what they're worried about now, let's just come back and make those toss-up they're also worried about pennsylvania. they're worried about michigan they're worried about here in wisconsin. you just heard kari lake. she's losing in the polls right now, but they're worrie

additional defections from congress today, including the latest from the senate, from senator sherrod brown of ohio, and embattled democrat fighting for reelection in a red state but one storm source telling cnn, it was nancy pelosi's longtime ally, congressman zoe lofgren, whose call for biden to go really got under biden's skin today, making him even more angry at pelosi at this hour, president biden, we understand is refusing to give an inch, even as now, 34 democrats in congress are calling on him to step aside out of, of course, about 200 biden is in delaware after being diagnosed with covid and in a new statement today says he will return to the campaign trail next week the first lady jill biden, is scheduled to host a fundraiser in paris next thursday, she's there for the olympics opening ceremony. price of admission. there is between five, fifth $525,000 meantime, this afternoon, the vice president kamala harris, met with major democratic donors, a call a zoom call, reportedly organized by the influential megadonor and linkedin founder reed hoffman hoffman has been pushing very asse

a big senate ra with sherrod brown. thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> it's interesting.earing the homestay perspective on him. ohio, we've all been in this business long enough that we have seen ohio go om a purple state to a red state. sherrod brown is very hot popular and has a good chance, hopefully come up holding onto his seat. i think democrats think that at he has a chance to hold onto it. to see j.d. vance ride to the senate on the strength of that autobiography he wro. the strength the book he wrote, and then, essentially, be peter al's pet senator, to hear the state party chairs say he has been working for silicon valley ever since he got here. hasn done anything for the people here this movingbook about in terms of his background. that's hard to run from. that will stick to him. >> here is something about the ohio senator now vp candidate who wrote 2016 when he was comparing donald trump to hitler. he begins this particular piec saying if you saturdays ago, my wife and i spent the mornin volunteering at a community garden. in our san francisco neighbhood. [ la

but sherrod brown and joe seem to have a very close relationship.. it is time to go home. a vote for trump and moreno is a vote to put america first. we will end the invasion of our southern border. we will fix our economy. protect american workers and rescue american families from biden's and brown's inflation. we will end the war. i will fight alongside donald trump to make america stronger, safer and more prosperous. thank you and may god continue to bless the united states of america. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the next senator from michigan, mike rogers. mr. rogers: i mike rogers, candidate for the united states senate from the great state of michigan. i want to give a quick shout out to my fellow michiganders, the hardest working people in the united states. god bless you right now. -- right there. it is because of joe biden and my liberal opponents runaway spending american families have been crushed by inflation. high cost of groceries and gasoline and rent. i was talking to a grocery clerk recently. she said i got it

he's running against a highly flawed opponent and he knows how to win races, the same with sherrod brown in ohio. he knows how to win, he is authentic. and it is about localizing these races. we understand that's tougher to do but the way i look at it and the way i talk to candidates and the way that sherrod and john operate, they operate not as a senator or congressperson, they are running like they are the mayor of the town, what is it locally that's important to the people of that community and when people realize that both of them fight for montana and fight for ohio, and that's what they put at the top of the list, they are able to connect with folks in a meaningful way and it is about a ground campaign. talking about the ground and doing it in tough turf, that is what we did the last cycle and for the first time in dccc history, we invested more money on the ground then we did on television and media and i knew all of these would be battleground states and i don't think one extra tv commercial or five extra tv commercials when you are being bombarded by tv commercials at the end of

. >> privately, vulnerable senators jon tester and sherrod brown reportedly told colleagues they don'think biden can win. publicly. >> i'm hearing legitimate concerns from ohio voters. >> michael bennet so farther only senator to say it out loud. >> do you think that are other democrats that are worried about president biden being at the top of the ticket? [inaudible] >> and gillian, the temperature on the hill must be so concerning for team biden that they are going to meet with senate democrats as early as tomorrow afternoon. senior biden advisers mike done lynn and steve richetti and jen o'malley will be there presumably to try to prevent this dam from breaking. gillian? >> gillian: aishah hasnie on capitol hill for us this evening. thank you. >> aishah: got it. >> gillian: well, democrats are united on one thing, and that's opposition to former president trump. a key issue for them the g.o.p. strategy known as project 2025. tonight we find out exactly what happens in the plan and what isn't. here is fox news chief legal correspondent and anchor of "fox news sunday" shannon bream. >

. >> laura: then you have races like tester in montana, sherrod brown has been very smart in ohio and played thell populace democrat populace role there. basically said biden should step aside because he knows his constituents don't wanteo joe biden.pl but from everything we areesid seeing, most people know that biden can't do this job and it's not going to be present in a' pasecond term, even if he wins commit is kamala harris' party founow. >> it is going to be in all a guard similar to what we have seen for years.s fr if it is a close race, they will distance themselves from biden and that is what they did beforh and they will do it more thisowr time. >> laura: the squad which came. into power, fight the power or reckit could be the new force ti reckoned with. they folded like a cheap soup for biden. >> laura: have a they have butaa that's been consistent and they wanted to take up nancy pelosi.a >> laura: she met with thectmf for 5 minutes, okay, do whatever you wantt ai.au >>ra they been a lot of talk and no air. >> laura: thank you so mucewh pure the left's new plan to question

senator sherrod brown just said the president should give up his reelection bid.a: what does that say to you that sherrod brown who has known joe biden for as long as he has has come forward? >> this tells me the pressure is going to continue to mount. it could be the president will have no choice but to give up his reelection campaign. the big concern i have is, great. you succeed in getting president biden to give up his presidential bid you don't say who should be at the top of the ticket. if kamala harris is not the top of the ticket, democrats are guaranteed to lose. amna: there is a democratic convention in just a month's time. how long do you think this kind of turmoil and uncertainty can go on? >> three or four days. if they haven't decided this by monday or tuesday, the democratic party is in real trouble. they are undermining and undermining. either joe biden has to say no matter what you say i'm staying, or else fortune favors the bold. amna: president biden has been saying that. he continues to say i am in it to win it. >> true, but stories keep coming

i'm sure sherrod brown did not like hearing the news that j.d. trump's vp pick. >> bret: balance of power is tight. you have a good-looking map. and you could flip the senate depending as you put up the blevins power 47-49. you look at the map of the 33 regularly scheduled elections this year. 10 seats held by republicans. 19 seats held by democrats. four seats held by independence who caucus with democrats. you are in a good position. some of these polls don't look good at this point or at least so far. let's go to your home state of montana. it's pretty tight with the incumbent jon tester and the challenger sheehy unjust slightly. but that's a tight race. >> well, it is. they spent $42 million. chuck schumer's super pac attacking tim sheehy. like spending $500 million in a stated like pennsylvania because we only have a million people. ha sheehy tied slightly up for 1. when i ran 2001 against very popular incumbent democratic governor steve bullock at this same time in july 1 point race and ended up winning by 10 points. voters tend to come hom

all these democrats, including sherrod brown who came out today.l spent a lot of time with biden behind closed doors. now, suddenly, he is not competent to be president. he needs to step aside. i think they are all making themselves look so duplicitous and fraudulent in the sudden concern about joe biden. >> they will have to answer for that you are seeing a very strategic approach. like i think pelosi, schumer, jeffries, they love the president. they tried to do this in private. they felt like their concerns were dismissed and were not heard by the president. so, the other day, they in a very well accord coordinated intentional launch of leaks, coordinated launch of leaks. >> laura: in is mafia hit. this is like mafia hit. like godfather 2 opening of godfather 2. biden was in masks and everyone else gets knocked. >> yeah, what you saw was them turning up the volumes on the president. sending him a message saying the leaks are the only thing standing between them and microphones and now, today, with the 12 democrats, what the president is seeing is

sherrod brown, no one's fooled. in ohio now saying, you know, look, this just isn't is sustainable. goes public -- jeffreys goes public, that's the next card to play. and reports are barack obama's doing thing thes behind the scenes. even with all of that, rich, is it enough because it is joe biden's call. the reports are he gets sort of his hackles up, he gets upset if you push him. so can he withstand all this pressure? if. >> if he wants to in theory, yes, or right? i mean, there's no lever for him to say no, but this is a big game of chicken and has been since the debate, will, with biden saying, you know, i'm just going to plow ahead x. if you want to kneecap me in public, you're just waking your inevitable nominee weaker against trump, guy you hate. i'm plowing ahead. and the democratic party saying, you know what? even if you say you're still running, we're going to make it a worthless nomination because we're going to publicly condemn you, the fund raising's going to dry up, the activists are going away. you can say you're still running, joe, but it'd be worthless to you. an

john tester, sherrod brown. our dana bash reporting also share his concerns about biden potentially losing to trump but the reality is, biden is not really going anywhere. we almost seems like we're in this place where democrats are just kind of saying, well, if this is what he's going to do, we're just going to have to make the best of it yeah. >> i mean, i've talked to a lot of democrats over the course of the past few days who definitely privately have a ton of concerns. and i mean, we've kind of heard a pivot with a lot of these members during private discussions, including house judiciary ranking member jerry nadler, who during a ranking members call with keen jeffries on sunday, was kind of sounding the alarm there, kind of pivot back to give a strong endorsement to biden, but i think there's a lot of concerns of if they go too far on criticizing him, men he is going to remain on the ticket at this point in time that it could hurt him in the general and that could be used against some demo line. so axios,

including california governor gavin newsom, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and ohio senator sherrod brown. also supporting harris. at least eight members of the so-called squad, including alexandria ocasio-cortez and ilhan omar, former president obama and former speaker nancy pelosi, praised biden for deciding to step aside, but they stopped short of endorsing harris. >> i think that's what you're seeing with both pelosi and obama. look, the two most prominent elder statesmen in the party saying they want the process to play out. i think everybody expects, unless something really unexpected happens. this is kamala harris. >> recent polls show a neck and neck race between harris and former president trump, another poll shows trump's favorability five points higher than harris's. democrats reported a record amount of online donations in the hours after biden's announcement yesterday, nearly $50 million. but one major biden donor says if harris becomes the nominee, he won't fundraise for the democratic ticket. high profile lawyer john morgan telling abc news it's one thing to vote for somebo

sherrod brown has been very smart in ohio.e has played the populist -- democrat populist role there he has basically said biden should step aside because he knows his constituents don't want joe biden. but, from everything that we're seeing, most people know that biden can't do this job and is not going to be president in a seconds term. even if he wins, it's kamala harris' party now. >> right. it's going to be an oligarchy, similar to what we have seen for the last four years. if it's a close race, they will distance themselves from biden. that's what they did before. they will do it more this time. >> laura: the squad which came into power fight the power. right? it was fight the power. we're going to be the new, you know, the new force to be reckoned with. they folded like a cheap suit for biden. >> yeah. they have. but that's been consistent. remember, they wanted to take out nancy pelosi and then. >> laura: she met for them like five minutes okay we will do whatever you want. >> exactly. they have been a lot of talk and h

why the addition of ohio senator sherrod brown is significant.esidential -- plus, gop presidential nominee donald trump back on the campaign trail just one week after that a attempt on his life. we'll take you to butler, pennsylvania. knew this first hand, they created a boat that was more affordable... tracker, the world's #1 one best selling fishing and pontoon boats powered by mercury. proudly built in missouri and sold factory direct at bass pro shops and select dealers. ... mories of your own. bass pro shops. voted america's best outdoor retailer. save even more and support conservation when you join the club.

sherrod brown needs to get crossover votes and need your base to be excited. young people at colleges and universities across ohio excited to participate in a presidential race. she would do that and i think that would be a boost to a guy like sherrod brown and boost like bob casey in pennsylvania and swing congressional districts. to me it's as clear as day and i'm just getting nervous the clock is ticking. every day we're not out there with a new candidate in these swing states making the case. the script would completely flip. not everything is about trump. his conviction, how he was with the economy was like when he was in and all of these things. if we come in with a radically pragmatic agenda we'll wind handily and keep the house and senate. >> dana: a lot of democrats probably agree with you but afraid to say it publicly. glad to have you on and thank you for being here. >> bill: thank you, sir. >> take care. >> dana: a new warning from the intel community that iran might be taking advantage of pro-palestinian protests here in the united states to sprea

just as we are on the air, senator sherrod brown just said -- amna: half a minute ago.hat say to you, that sherrod brown, someone who has known joe biden for as long as he has, in a critical state of ohio, has come forward to do this? jonathan: this tells me the pressure will continue to mount, that it could be that the president will have no choice but to give up his reelection campaign, but the big concern i have is, great, you guys succeed in getting president biden to give up his presidential bid. you don't say who should be the top of the ticket. if vice president harris is not the top of the ticket, democrats are guaranteed to lose. amna: there is a democratic convention in just a month's time. feels like a very long time away now. how long do you think this kind of turmoil and conversation can go on? david: three or four days. if they have not decided this by monday or tuesday, i think the democratic party is in real trouble. they are undermining, undermining, undermining. either joe biden has to say i'm staying the matter what, and this is over, or else fortune

but again, today, here is sherrod brown. sherrod brown has a tough restaurant. outrun that presidential ticket and the democrats in that state time and time again. he knows what he's doing is politician. i think the sort of question about what do you make of that, of him, or jon tester, or other saying this? i've got to think it's a painful statement for them to put out, but presumably, because they really feel strongly that the politics of this moment require this. >> look, chris, no one is trying to sugarcoat just how challenging things of been since the debate. the president himself has called that debate a disaster. and he has been working hard to regain everyone's trust and belief in him, so that we can win in november and be unified. and look, jamie raskin, who i adore, he is right. we are unified in so many ways. we are unified around wanting gun violence prevention legislation. we are unified around wanting to combat the climate crisis. we are unified and wanting to restore the freedoms that republicans are stripping away, and, especially for women, and

joe: i think i have to go to ohio with sherrod brown came out ahead of the announcement. it was a for the senator from ohio to call on joe biden to drop out of the race, clearly feeling desperation as he goes into a race he may lose. i hate to be a broken record. i have to go back to the fact we have not seen anything but letterhead today. there will be a big conversation tomorrow morning. republicans will drive this. where is the president? he has a bilateral meeting three days from now with benjamin netanyahu. do we not get a photograph for the newspaper? nothing today to tell us the president is well enough to continue doing his job? i think that is an important answer that needs to be figured out before running mates. david: that is absolutely true. that gets to what the lame-duck presidency looks like. he is in a tricky position. now there is this netanyahu visit later this week. marquis moments in the presidency are coming up. i think it will be interesting to see if we see or hear from him today, in the coming days, what insight we get from him. this takes a little

two of them in difficult reelection races, we caught up with sherrod brown earlier today, as well as other senators. and as brown directly about those comments do you, think he's going to speak to the legitimate concerns of all iowa voters my job is to fight for them on everything, to fight for lower drug prices. concerned, are you about his chances in november? >> i'm very concerned. it's going to be a close race and we already knew that but i mean, you have to be concerned about his viability aren't you? >> i am deeply concerned about joe biden winning this november because it is an x existential threat to the country if donald trump wins. so i think that we have to reach a conclusion as soon as possible. >> as the biden team wants a shut down, any speculation that he may leave the race nancy pelosi's comments today suggesting that biden hadn't made a decision has to have the actual opposite effect. and many other democrats are echoing that line, saying we'll wait and see what joe biden ultimately decides to do. now, this building has been abuzz with activity behind closed doors. a

in colleagues in pressing biden to drop out that include senators jon tester from montana and sherrod brown of ohio but the dynamic could not be more different for republicans who spent the past week rushing to embrace down from the republican national convention, including candidates for the senate in battleground states president trump. and i will get the job done. elect donald trump and make america great again. >> ready to make donald trump are 47th president have my panel is back. >> i mean, what is just so remarkable is that in past election cycles, candidates in swing districts and swing states, then we running away from trump at the top of the ticket, they were concerned he could put off voters in suburban in areas. but in particular, here's mike rogers in michigan, last night at the trump rally, he is no maga republican, but he is very much aligned himself with donald trump as he is running for the senate in michigan. and onstage with him primary rival, rival jumped out of the race and endorsed him. and you can see them all embracing them. what does that tell you about where things

and we're learning tonight that during the meeting of senate democrats, senators michael bennet sherrod brown, and jon tester all three senior, very respected senators, warned their colleagues that they don't believe biden can beat trump, who right now is campaigning in florida, trying to take advantage of the revolt chaos inside biden's party. just listen to how one democrat described their position on biden staying in the race maybe the same book talk about being blind. >> well tonight the cook political report, which has been a very reliable predictor of election outcomes, just moved five states toward trump and away from biden. now, i just want to show you those states because several of them are crucial swing states must win. you've got arizona, georgia, minnesota, new hampshire, and nevada on that list. shifting in that direction. kayla tausche is outfront live outside the white house. and kayla, we talk about those the cook political report. you talk about the senator's, you talk about mike, you, cherelle, but the nato summit coming at a very high-stakes moment for biden. he gave a ver

definitely new warning lights flashing dot a source telling cnn that senators michael bennet, sherrod brown, john tester, behind closed doors. >> they all said that they do not think biden can win. and then senator bennet decided to say that at very publicly on cnn the white house in the time since that disastrous debate, i think has done nothing to really demonstrate that they have a plan to win. >> it's critically important that they address the concerns of the american people not ignore them cnn's arlette saenz is at the white house for us. >> arlette, what is the campaign and what is the white house saying about this? now? >> well, kate, president biden and his team are simply pushing forward with this campaign, essentially telling those democrats with doubts about the president's future, a political capabilities that it's time to move on. aides here at the white house. i haven't campaign really believe that the debate about the debate and president biden's path forward in this campaign has been fully aired out and is over. even though there are still serious doubts among some corners o

>> sherrod brown and jon tester are two of the most endangered senate democrats.ing in deep red states in november. when they came out and said they want biden to not run again, that shows just how worried the most vulnerable democrats are that president joe biden and the top of the ticket could really sink their chances. and you also saw some corresponding democrats in the house who are running really tough races, just like tester and brown are also calling on biden to step down yesterday, one who comes to mind is gabe vasquez from new mexico. that's a swing seat in the house in new mexico the democrats who are really on the line here. the democrats are at risk of losing their jobs, are speaking with allowed clear message. they don't want biden on top of the ticket. >> our john king is reporting that the new statements calling for the president to drop out have a lot to do with nancy pelosi and wanting the president to understand just how serious the situation is for some of those vulnerable democrats you mentioned. if the president knows that much, right and he

. >> who hires bernie marino is trying to unseat longtime senator sherrod brown.ive. >> as under attack from joe biden, it is a neighbors in the senate and west virginia's governor jim justice who brought his dog on stage. it's trying to win retiring senator joe mansion seat baby dolls. got a prediction for everybody here. we're going to flip the united states senate. >> other high-profile speakers included kari lake of arizona and dave mccormick of pennsylvania, both running for the u.s. senate dame. are we shot? thanks a lot. i'm sure a lot of people are thinking, hey, how do we elect the dog? >> alright, shocking video showing a man blocking a waymo car and then shouting added, police say the man then beat up the car's passenger happened a couple weeks ago on buchanan street in the city's pacific heights neighborhood. the victim's family says that that their family member has an intellectual disability. that person is now in fighting for their life. police are asking anyone who they recognize this man to give them a call. the civic center bart station, getting

that's why sherrod brown in ohio is coming out and not voicing support for the president. anyone thinking that this was going to be settled before we saw more internal polling and public polling showing possibly a trump landslide in the electoral college. i mean, that's basically where we're at now and pelosi is extending this conversation till after nato. now, it's just not going anywhere, especially when the problem is not a scandal, it's not a gaff, it is the candidate himself. >> and on that, ritchie torres, a democrat from new york sent a tweet out talking about the fact that there's a conversation that needs to be had. he said to me in a quote, if were going on a political suicide mission than we should at least be honest about it. and that is at this moment in time where most of the democrats are most of them are not saying step aside, mr. president. it's time. most of them are saying, don't tell us to back down, don't tell us that we're bedwetters. this is so critical, we have to have these public conversations actually, let me just refrain that many of them are sa

sherrod brown is defending his seat in november as well what is your reaction to what tester said here? are you looking to see do you think that sherrod brown will follow suit and do you agree that it's untenable for down-ballot democrats to be able to defend the president right now yeah, i suspect you're going to see more. >> i don't know what the senator brown is going to do, but i suspect you'll see more today and i do think it is untenable. i think democrats, especially after last night's debacle i think democrats are dying to get back on a more elevated message. i think there's a huge opening for democrats, both in those senate races. a key across the country but also for the presidential race. if democrats can articulate a big vision for the united states of america? got an inclusive vision of one that's letting go of basically everything that happened last night, everything that trump talked about last night, people don't want to live in that country that was a speech to that room. but i think a lot of independent voters want something different in its incumbent upon the democra

that gives you a sense of the nerves and the stress that this places on i can't let someone like sherrod brown here. how do you expect the senate meeting to go and impact what the president may or may not do. yeah, that's the interesting split screen here, because we're seeing the house yesterday was very much rallying behind president biden. i mean, except for those like handful of one to call it for him to step down. but then on the senate, you have a bigger range of position in terms of senators being very real about what they would like president biden to do. i think we saw patty murray yesterday. she's like one of the top democrats in the senate saying, you i do want him to show me that he can go and win this thing. and i think that that's not a thing that is new amongst senators. i think we have, you know, bernie sanders the other side being in behind biden 100%, so again, this meeting today, it might come out, maybe not as a full surprise that mark warner is not the only one who has been really considering what they're going to go tell their people and what they want. president biden to

trump as his running mate, tonight ohio's other senator, three-term democrat sherrod brown, is among those saying that president biden should end his campaign. lester. >> all right, kelly o'donnell, thank you. >>> now to former president trump's speech at the republican national convention. he recounted the moments when a would-be assassin's bullet almost killed him, but after a call for unity, he also launched familiar insults and conspiracies. here's hallie jackson. >> reporter: former president trump stepping off his plane early this morning after stepping off the stage in milwaukee, balloons dropping on the final night of the republican convention. >> i proudly accept your nomination for president of the united states. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: in his first speech since surviving an assassination attempt against him -- >> you'll never hear it from me a second time, because it's actually too painful to tell. >> reporter: -- mr. trump describing what happened in dramatic detail. >> i heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ea
