that is stacy abrams' decision.ct, she is making the same case to get herself selected as the vice presidential nominee. if joe biden does not choose stacy abrams, he is racist. >> do you think that not choosing a woman of color, a black woman, actually is a slap in the face to the black female voters? >> i would share your concern about not picking a woman ofce color, because women of color, particularly black women are the strongest part of the democratic party. we need to have a ticket that reflects the diversity of america. >> tucker: yes, a ticket with stacy abrams on it. eeat's what you need, mr. racist guy, stay what you want about stacy abrams. she is not subtle. there is no mistaking heriv meaning. give heres what she wants, or se will call you racist. another word for that tactic is identity politics. and of course, she is the four that too. >> this is identity politics. i believe in identity politics. those are the only politics that win. [applause] we have an identity too. >> tucker: "identity politics a

what has stacy abrams done? you name anything that she has -- apart from the porno thriller's, but that she has done in her life. >> first of all, she is a couple of nationwide organizations on voter suppression, some things republicans no pretty well about, suppressing the votes, particularly for african-americans. she also when georgia was somebody who protected pre-k, something that's a major issue in education, the access to pre-k for young students. and she was somebody who protected that for georgia when it was getting attacked particularly for low income students by republicans. she stood up and was one of the people who protected that. she also worked across the aisle and in the south, she is pro-gun, which i think will play much better than some of the other candidates who come along -- >> tucker: may be. somehow i doubt she meets my standard of the second amendment fealty, but let's back up. i don't think we can point to a single piece of legislature that she passed in georgia that led to anything. is

is he really going to pick stacy abrams? >> i doubt it will be stacy abrams. think he has a very strong roster of democrats around the country and what we are seeing in most elections is regardless of who is the front runner is who was a dark horse. not many people picked mike pence, nobody saw tim kaine as hillary clinton's vice presidential running mate in that campaign, so i think joe biden is going to pick who is geographically distinct from him and can help them with swing states and who has executive leadership experience because as you said at his age and with other issues, you want somebody who can step in and has experience running large organizations and somebody else who has been able to carry the campaign message into the media as an effective surrogate. so someone like the mayor of atlanta is a strong dark horse candidate because she has experience of running a major city through this coronavirus pandemic, she fits geographical as george is becoming a swing state now trending purple if not light blue, i think that would be a great choice. >> tucke

he made appearances alongside stacy abrams of georgia for an interview last night and then another onewith michigan governor gretchen whitmer at a roundtable event in michigan yesterday afternoon. in late today, another name added when president obama's former national security advisor susan rice said this. >> i am humbled and honored to be among the extremely accomplished women who are reportedly being considered. >> would you say yes if he ask you to be his vp? >> i certainly would say yes. >> martha: here now, fox news contributor and michelle ritchie, former press secretary for the house democrats. great to have both of you with us today. lots to get in here, so let me start with you. would susan rice be a good choice for joe biden do you think? >> i think that susan rice is a very impressive woman. her resume and her experience speaks for itself but the thing with joe biden's he's going to have to pick someone that energizes white progressives and even black progressives. i don't know where susan rice falls when it comes to medicare for all. i don't know where she falls when it co

if i had to choose one, it probably would be stacy abrams over governor whitmer, i'd have to have to. >> they both violate the axiomatic golden rule of vp picks, laura, which is do no harm. nobody votes for vp. they don't care! they vote for the top of the ticket! all you can do with avp pick is hurt your chances of winning. stacy abrams hurts her chances because she thinks she's the governor of georgia and she's not and governor whitmer >> laura: let's talk about whitmer, chris, her response to the crisisca whether you are democrat or republican, heavy-handed. done a lot of dumb stuff, a lot of p challenges. how would that come in the play thinking about biden on whom to pay? >> i think biden knows that is astroturf put down by trump supporters to weaken the governor whose numbers are much higher than president trump's in michigan. she'd had over 6% approval in michigan, trump is in the low 40s in michigan. i think that makes her a viable pick. you need michigan to win. it's a pretty important state. i am a big believer in the old sales term, if you don't ask, you don't guess. biden

so stacy abrams is a good communicator. ey abrams is a very strong communicator. >> tucker: she's got that going for her! she's aggressive, i will say. i wouldn't want to play her in ping-pong. i think she would win. professor, great to see you. >> thanks a lot. thanks, tucker. >> tucker: dana perino hosts "the daily briefing with dana perino" and thinks deeply erabout these subjects. leaving aside my views about how you should approach a decision the significant, you should do it in a serious way, and on the basis of people's dna, which is irrelevant. i'm leaving that aside. what do you think biden will do? how are his handlers thinking about this decision? >> maybe those are two different things, what you just said. what does biden want to do and what do his handlers want to do? those two things might t not be the same although may be that's not giving them enough credit. he's in his basement so you don't see him out there a lot in effect there was a report out last week that even the people who are on his team, like senio

if i had to choose one, it probably would be stacy abrams over governor whitmer.ave to say. >> well, they both violate the axiomatic golden rule of vp picks, laura, which is what? do no harm. nobody votes for the bp. they don't, they don't care. they vote for the top of the ticket. all you can do with the vp pick is hurt your chances of winning. stacy abrams hurts her chances because she thinks she's the governor of georgia. she's not. and gretchen whitmer is the governor of michigan and she's doing a terrible job. both bad choices. >> laura: let's talk about witmer, chris. her response to the crisis. regardless of whether you're a democrat or republican, pretty heavy-handed. she's had a lot of dust ups, obviously a lot of court challenges. how might that come into play in the thinking of biden about whom to pick? >> i think biden knows that that's astroturf put down by trump supporter's to try to weaken the governor, whose numbers are much higher than president trump's in michigan. she's at over 60% approval in michigan. trump is in the low 40s in michigan. i thi

you should know that stacy abrams is delusional, at one point she announced that she was the governorgeorgia, which from a mental health standpoint is one step from claiming napoleon. now she imagines she is a public health expert. best to humor her on that. just nod and look interested. chris hayes is not a scientist either. he is the art into male feminist. but he is still a strong view on epidemiology. he was so upset by the view that people in georgia might go outside of that permission though that he suddenly found himself arguing that everybody must obey the trump administration. >> if that sounds insane to you, you are not alone. and for the record, georgia does not meet the white house guidelines. it does not have a 14 day trajectory of declining cases. it is tested less than 19,000 people in a population of more than 10 million. mayors in georgia are describing the governor's decision as reckless, dangerous, and illogical. >> tucker: there voice of overpriced brooklyn. we must do what the white house tells us! he screams. on msnbc. that's how dangerous it was. mark this day r

followed by kamala hararis and stay s stacy abrams. alex, great reporting on this.us inside the depate that's happening inside the biden campaign over what it is they are looking for in a vice presidential candidate. >> the biden campaign is really divided on this question. there's some that really want to emphasize trying to court the progressives that supported bernie sanders. there are some from the biden campaign that want to focus on picking a person of color. particularly a black woman. it would be a historic choice. the first time you have a black woman on the ticket. also, they are the most loyal constituency of the democratic party. there's not a consensus inside the campaign. this will probably shape the contest. you're seeing a campaign to get on the campaign among the contenders. stacy abrams has publicly talking about how she would make a great vice president. also privately calling democratic power brokers. she's been telling them, can you put a good word in for me with the biden campaign. elizabeth warren is trying to sell herself as a governing pick.

there is stacy abrams is right, there's some rhetoric coming from politicians that adviser to underminethat but the election official, almost all of them, democrats, republicans are finding ways to expand mail voting and make in-person voting will which still be necessary during a pandemic that some people will need that, make that safety and convenient for people who need it. she's also very right. although election officials have begun the work to make november as convenient and safe as possible and allow for as many voters who want to participate as possible, they will need resoirr resources. there will need to be more resources put in place to expand mail voting and make for clean and safe polling places, to recruit adequate number of poll workers who are not at populations. we'll need to see that come november. >> the u.s. post pal service has the federal government for additional funding. you have the president telling them that perhaps they should raise the price on their packages. how critical is the u.s. postal service in making sure that every one who wants stroets can vote in

up, we have stacy abrams we'll be talking to. a lot of people, including me, noted, as the white house urges states to reopen there is no plan to stop, suppress or minimize the spread of the coronavirus. that's mostly true. it's not completely true. i was thinking about this today. there actually is a plan. it just doesn't involve you or me. we see the plan on full display in the president's own daily schedule where you might notice he's carrying out his fairly normal routine. he does his briefings but not as much and meets people in the oval office. he's flown across the country. he visited a mask factory in arizona where he did not wear a mask and they played live and let die in the background. it's a rough, if adjusted version of normalcy for president donald trump and also vice president mike pence. they both appear to be carrying on with roughly their normal lives and crucially duties more or less. the reason they could do all this is because they're being tested all the time. "the new york times" reports president trump and

even stacy abrams took a break from campaigning for vice to vice president to offer her assessment. > honestly don't understand the mayors of the cities who expressed deep concerns. as our scientists commit makes no sense dumb accents and it puts more georgians at risk. >> tucker: she seems to know what she's talking about. you should know stacy a stacy abrams is delusional and she announced she was the governor of georgia one step from claiming napoleon. now abrams imagined a public health experts, best of humor and nod and look interested. not a scientist either in come at a male feminist but still a strong view on epidemiology. he was so upset by people in georgia might go outside without permission that he suddenly found himself arguing that everybody must obey the trump administration. if that sounds insane to you, you are not alone, and for the record, georgia does not meet the white house guidelines commit doesn't have a 14 day trajectory of cases. it has tested 90,000 people of a population of 10 million. mayors in georgia are describing the governor's decision as reckless, da

he's considered several african—american women, like come all of harris and stacy abrams —— kamala harrismost people will remember this. we heard joe biden say to look at his track record. what is his appeal to black voters? african—americans appeal to black voters? african—america ns traditionally vote for democrats, but they... especially a 77—year—old white man who has supported legislation like the 1994 crime bill, which a lot of african—americans did not like. it tightens criminal sentences. you don't want an old white man deciding who is black or not. i think the appeal is that he is a trusted messenger and also, you have the fa ct messenger and also, you have the fact that he served an african—american man loyally for eight years as vice president. that love of ba rack eight years as vice president. that love of barack obama and the democratic party, particularly among african americans, and the fact that joe biden was his right handyman and was number two, that is a big part —— right—hand man. was number two, that is a big part -- right-hand man. what will black voters wa nt -- ri

leslie, what do you make of stacy abrams running for presidential nod, using discredited talking point and kamala harris say tara reade should be heard but we believe joe. leslie: i wrote an article that i believe joe biden, it's not "the new york times" but i as a victim believe any victim male or female that comes forward. you to investigate 2 to 8% of claims are false, over 90% of the majority are true. if you look at why they came out, doesn't have to be "the new york times", i'm tired of people saying quite frankly. he should have come out a long time ago. they were hoping it would go away. in addition like "the new york times" washington post coming out with stories, now you are having women's groups coming out and pushing and from within the democratic party saying, you must address this. even president trump when he was running for president he did address it, didn't happen, boom, move on and joe biden should have done that. howie: it's interesting kat, because there was 19-day delay before new york times and washington post diddalses and it was crickets and business insider. t

performance of the people being mentioned in terms of the various statewide races they've won in stacy a abramss stand out. she won young people in georgia by 25 points whereas -- i didn't even realize this until i was working on this piece, obama lost when he ran in 2008 by three points. stacey abrams had a 28-point improvement of young people in georgia. she actually did best among latinos. even -- [inaudible] who is latina got 61% in nevada and then there is nobody who has turned out more black people to vote than stacy abrams and at the level of increase they had 2014 over 2018, she got 93% of the vote. so i would argue that the data shows that that is a person who actually would be his strongest ally, but there's also other women of color who could also have some of the benefit that he needs with those constituencies as well. >> and i think that speaks to something else you wrote at a column for the guardian before super tuesday which, again, feels like eight years ago. [laughter] so much has changed since then. but you wrote whoever wins the nomination will owe their success to the love a

the biden team and nancy pelosi and stacy abrams are not in favor of an investigation that is proof thee too movement which could have had value is a tool used at their women to decide who gets attacked and who doesn't and that is shameful stuff. rob: this allegation has been sitting out there for weeks, since march. let's look at the comparison of the coverage, march 20 fifth all the way to april 12th, you have no coverage at all. compare that to brett kavanaugh they couldn't wait to get on the story and talk about that allegation and look how long it was and let's go back to that graphic from yesterday. it is pretty fair. cvs, nbc nightly news, world news tonight they did coverage of the story, they are covering it. the cable networks come big difference. 6:00 pm until midnight no coverage on cnn, 33 seconds on msnbc. what do you make of that? >> i make two things of it. interesting the coverage comes after the talking points from the biden team come out. that is a pretty interesting 1-2 punch and it is hard to cover a story when you having determined all your talking points. the moth

let me play a bit of joe biden with stacy abrams on thursday. >> stacy abrams has done more to deal with fair vote and making sure there is a fair vote than anybody, so stacey knows what she's doing and she's an incredibly capable person. i'm not in politics timply to stand for office. i'm here to do the work. what i thought was making sure we have free and fair eye electric across the country the i did that through fair fight. >> on this question of whether or not joe biden will pick a black woman running mate, there is a question of if so, who? do you have any reporting that you can present as to who he is thinking about and who may be being sort of shown to us, but maybe not really on the list? >> well, joy, vice president biden has said in a recent interview, i believe it was with reverend sharpton, he is looking at more than one black woman on the list senator kamala harris is certainly somebody that the vice president has said he has a lot of respect and administration for. and we saw in i think what we all have to acknowledge was -- in the conversation that he with had stacey abra

and stacy abrams, failed to give an aerial candidate, valca demings, police chief, and you got kamalaarris, the worst ree criminal justice to form reform thananybody in the democ. this is a tough pick for joe. >> laura>> laura: wasn't unleadr leaded gas, ray? the twitter warning on the president's tweets, how can porter be held accountable? senator josh hawley unveils his new plan in moments. >> laura: do you get the sensese that twitter didn't really think it through? i'm talking about the decision to hit one of president trump's tweets with an absurd fact-checked. it wasn't just that twitter was wrong on the merits. but it revealed the staggering hypocrisy of the supposed admission. not only are they attempting to editorialize and censor the president of the united states, they do so while allowing chinese propaganda accounts run free on their platform. today, the president responded warning that he would move to regulate social media platforms that try to silence conservative voices, and he plans to sign an executive order on the subject tomorrow. but even before that news, missour

think right now you have senator harris, senator klobuchar, senator warren, and former house reps, stacy abramsm georgia. >> katie: first i think the news that came out of this interview today is not that he denied it, because that was obvious, what is he supposed to say, let's move on, of course he was going to do that, but he was finally asked about it, and the president had been asked multiple times before joe biden was asked about it. that's the first thing. i would hope that the media does not just let it go, because of one interview about his response to it. but to your question about the vice presidential candidate, a lot of these women who are on the short-list, apparently apparently for this position were worse than joe biden when it comes to what they said about brett kavanaugh and due process. and i think that the trump campaign, what they said in their statement about to the president joe biden's record on this issue when it comes to college campuses of young men all over the country in the standard that the obama administration applied to accusations on campus, and would have been

the president retweeting attacks on hillary clinton and stacy abrams. i'm not going to read them aloud but you can see them on your screen. this as the death toll in the u.s. nears 100,000. >>> with that i'd like to bring in monica alba, white house news political reporter. monica, i want to start with you. i'm told as the president's motorcade was levering the golf course, he encountered some protesters. what are they saying and what are you hearing from the white house in response? >> reporter: a handful of people who were gathered at the president's virginia golf club in sterling and we -- that's something we have seen from the president as he has gone on all of the trips in recent weeks to highlight coronavirus pandemic, but this is clearly a different response from protesters who are holding up the front page of the new york times. those names just 1% of the total death toll that we have seen so far from this health crisis. they were apparently, according to the pool reporters who were traveling with the president, chanting stop killing us. it's no

. >> she -- there's something really interesting and unbelievably compelling about stacy abrams just s a persona. >> right. sort of coincidentally, i interviewed stacey abrams at the kennedy library and museum a few hours after senator harris dropped out of the race and i asked her right then and there would you be interested in being vice president. it was the first time she said definitively yes and made the case. and we have heard her say that ever since then in every interview. absolutely she wants to be considered for vice president and thinks she would be a terrific vice president. and i think the fact that she is so -- she's out there. she's not playing coy. she's being very clear about what her goals are, that adds to her quirky nature of this election, sort of unprecedented nature of this election. >> yeah, it is really unprecedented. i think so much about what the sort of -- your sort of point about what the kind of political imperative in a sort of short term tactical sense is. but then when you think about the scope of the crisis that likely is going to be inherited by thi

appearing alongside stacy abrams who endorsed herself as a running mate. public interest from former obama national security adviser susan rice. >> would you say yes if he asked you to be the vp? >> joe biden admits that he does not remember working with the woman accusing hymn of raping her. and he does not want to continue convincing people that that is false. >> i would not vote for me if i believed tara reade. >> no changes to the plan to try to round up votes from his rec room, the campaign pulled us today that they will physically hit the trail when the time is t and when experts sign off on it. until then, a lot more zoom, shannon. >> shannon: we are all getting used to it. peter doocy, thank you. the ongoing debate of how and when to reopen the country and the economy is continuing to get more heated. >> you have -- a lot of people saying that the country needs to reopen because people are going to die no matter what. i'm asking since you are suggesting that i sacrifice, who are you sacrificing? >> that's what people don't understand what is going

up, we have stacy abrams we'll be talking to. a lot of people, including me, noted, as the white house urges states to reopen there is no plan to stop, suppress or minimize the spread of the coronavirus. that's mostly true. it's not completely true. i was thinking about this today. there actually is a plan. it just doesn't involve you or me. we see the plan on full display in the president's own daily schedule where you might notice he's carrying out his fairly normal routine. he does his briefings but not as much and meets people in the oval office. he's flown across the country.

this morning stacy abrams made her endorsement official saying the marginalized communities strugglender donald trump's failed leadership, joe biden will take no one for granted. i look forward to continuing my strong support for his candidacy and doing all i can to make sure he is elected this november. it's somewhat surprising that today is the day the biden campaign chose to go public with their stacy abrams endorsement considering that she has been saying for weeks she thinks that she would be a good biden running mate. >> ed: she has been very bold about that. peter doocy, thank you. >> sandra: some of the nation's top health officials set to testify remotely before a senate committee this morning. this as more states begin reopening their doors and restarting their economies. coming up, bret baier, dana perino, dr. siegel and dr. safire will all be joining us as we walk up to that hearing. stay tuned. .. with the geico giveback. a 15% credit on car and motorcycle policies for both current and new customers. and because we're committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your fu

female running mate and several african-american women are on the short list, kamala harris and stacy abrams he's struggling to pull in latino support he's faced increase pressure to consider candidates like new mexico governor michelle grisham, top contenders senator elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar, although strategist reportedly warned klobuchar would not excite minority voters and warren reportedly being targeted by conservative ad campaign from judicial crisis network which undermine chances of being elected. none of the candidates have been fully vetted but the initial process of reaching out is reaching an end, we -- eric. eric: the vetting just starting now, all right, thank you, thank you. arthel. arthel: cdc rolls out new guidelines for houses of worship after president trump deemed them essential, we will take a look at the plan and how it differs from other public places, that's up open road and telling peopleie that liberty mutual customizes your insurance, next. there are times when our need to connect really matters. to keep customers and employees in the know. to keep busin

you mentioned kamala harris, stacy abrams, in the global chart, they are more than just black women on on that list, i do hope that joe biden select someone who will help him rebrand this democratic party for future challenges and enable him to win this very important race. donald trump is going to run one of the most aggressive campaigns we've seen in american history. he's already shown over the weekend how he will go about it. he's going to attack, attack and insult and joe biden has to positive and he needs to talk directly to the american people about what he hopes to accomplish, not just how bad donald trump is. >> ed: a final thought when you extend it beyond a come as you did just a moment ago, beyond black voters. we have previously talked you and i, and that -- why is it that joe biden seems to be having trouble with some, not all but some in his base with his lack of enthusiasm? pico enthusiasm is one of those characteristics where you want people to be motivated. you want them to go out there and do things where you don't have to call them up and say, i need you to go to th

other names have been suggested, senator elizabeth warren, former governor candidate, stacy abrams.do you think it will be? any way to know? >> i don't think there's any way to know. if you look at the theory of the case for amy klobuchar, what she brings is the midwest. she would essentially help him solidify support there. but there are some drawbacks. amy klobuchar has essentially zero support among the african american community. her star power is questionable and she doesn't necessarily really excite the progressive base. something that i am always reminded of, though, whenever we're in this conversation about the deep states is something that rieu fus rufus give ford, e told me last year, when you are trying to excite your base and trying to attract the small dollar dough nature's you need to -- donors you need to create opportunities that will jolt the constituencies into action. back maybe it's not amy klobuchar at the end right here, but for the month of may, as long as the month is floated, you have minnesota democrats that are paying attention and potentially giving. dage
