it's democratic state. now, and it will be a democratic state moving forward with that set though, a biden's numbers were slipping a lot here in new york and, and trump was gaining a lot in the polls in new york. of course doesn't matter anymore because bind is no longer going to be running for re election. so i think the democrats feel pretty good about where they will be at when it comes to the selection in new york. and i gave and conclusion. you're standing there, i mean, trump for a tower right behind you. so we understand from smart has to pivot. now the most certainly is going to have to fit it. i mean, trump isn't here. he said more lago in florida, but of course this is the iconic trump tower. i will say trump's whole campaign was built about running against one person. and that's job id. that is now changed dramatically. that's no longer the case. so he's essentially going to have to not only pivot, but pretty much rip up is playbook if you will, and totally change his campaign for someone that's a

another piece of news, i mentioned moments ago that they were three state democratic parties that havethe decision and decided all of their delegates will go to kamala harris. we heard that about south carolina and north carolina. it is where all of the states delegates are pledged to kamala harris. the idea that there will be fight is starting to fall by the wayside. they did pledge already for the run for presidency. joining us now is the chair of the democratic party. the first that announced the delegates to ms. harris. >> pink you for having me. >> can you help our viewers watching understand what it meansr you to have done this. what your options were. did you know that you would have to make this decision? walk us through the importance. >> we are proud to be the first state to vice support toward vice president harris and stand behind her. and becoming the nominee of the party. we did not plan for this. we had a previous meeting on the calendar for today. just before that, president biden issued the statement to the people of bowing out of the race. when the call started, the v

that we elect kamala harris is the next president of the united states, but to ride that momentum, that energy, into maintaining a democratic majority in the united states jo senate and we are getting a majority in the house of representatives, the energy is out there such that it is not a surprise that donald trump is hemming and hawing about whether he is going to be there for the next debate. he is scared of kamala harris. >> that will be quite a debate, senator. i look forward to talking with you about that in the future and it is great to hear about the grassroots excitement out there, we are seeing it in the money as well, thank you so much for joining us, tonight. back to you, rachel. >> vice president kamala harris tonight became the instant front-runner for the democratic party presidential nomination, d and, likely an instant front- runner for the presidency. nt the fundraising is already in gear, reportedly more than a $30 million raised in less thans half a day, less than a quarter of the day, the endorsements are pouring in for her from democrats at every level of elected office. the reverend al sharpton will j

democratic governor of a red state. while democrats go on offense, trump's campaign playing cleanup saying he was talking about, quote, uniting the country when he made these unnerving comments overnight. >> christians get out and vote, just this time! [ applause ] you won't have to do it anymore, four more years. you know what? it will be fixed. it will be fine. >> reporter: trump is still facing a criminal indictment for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2020 election results in order to stay in office after he lost. he denies the allegations. and it's also been a rough 72 hours for trump's running mate after past comments that ohio senator j.d. vance made about, quote, childless catti ladies running the democratic party resurfaced, vance saying this week. >> this is not about criticizing people who for various reasons didn't have kids. this is about criticizing the democratic party for becoming anti-family and anti-child. >> reporter: and today "the new york times" unearthing old emails vance sent to a friend sympath

imagine the united states democratic national convention. biden comes out and says, "i'm tired, i'm leaving," quoting another president. and they are they say, well then let there be kamala harris. well, it looks strange. not a single person other than you nominated kamala kharitz from among the party members. in the presidency and didn't vote for it, i'm not talking about any other, could it negatively affect the final result? of course, be, because, because i will, let's say, if i voted for biden and then my delegate to the union of the democratic party came and voted for kamala harris, someone will not vote for kamala halosuvati, but for someone else, you understand , what struggle will begin at the convention, why i have to be satisfied at all, i will feel insulted, i went, registered, voted, and then ... my vote was trampled, so why should i even participate in all these elections, where there is no candidate for whom i voted? on the contrary, i would believe that such an outcome of the debate should lead to an even greater concentratio

states. with so many democrats _ united states. with so many democrats coming _ united states. y - democrats coming out in support of kamala harris, what challenges do you think she could still face leading up to the convention and cementing that nomination? she said she wants to own it? she that nomination? she said she wants to own it?— wants to own it? she did. and as one donor _ wants to own it? she did. and as one donor said _ wants to own it? she did. and as one donor said that - wants to own it? she did. and as one donor said that was - as one donor said that was deliberate. she wants to show that it's not a coronation, that it's not a coronation, that it's not a coronation, thatitis that it's not a coronation, that it is something that she has earned and prepared for and she can take the mantle of not just because she is number two but because she is the best placed person to win in novemberfor the placed person to win in november for the party. placed person to win in novemberfor the party. i think that that is one of the reasons she said that. as far as challenges she

already this evening democratic parties in the great state of tennessee is reporting that all 77 willbe voting for kamala harris. it's not just tennessee. the chair of the north carolina democratic party always says her party has elected to vote to vice president and it's not just tennessee and not just north carolina. in the state of south carolina, the democratic party there has now pledged its delegates to harris. one state party chairperson tells nbc news on the call that happened earlier this evening among all of the different state party chairs, there were, quote, no objections to moving forward with being open with our support for the vice president and moving forward. the chairperson cautioned there was no formal role call vote of state party delegations or support but the chairperson said the call, again, the call among all of the democratic party chairpersons in the country, it concluded with a strong call for unity in this moment and support for the president's choice, vice president harris. she'll need close to 2,000 next month. she appears well on her way. again, the nati

states. go down the list, democrats had outspent republicans $20 million to $2 million in arizona and the only state where you saw considerable spending from a republican group was in pennsylvania, which of the three northern states also saw the biggest drop off margin between biden and trumper democrats. so, the picture was even worse than it had appeared. kamala harris has received a historic surgeon fundraising during the honeymoon campaign she made for president that will help with the cash advantage that trump has had in the last few weeks as democratic donors were growing despondent and a huge surge in outpouring of support in the attempt of his life -- on his life. now perhaps they will be closer to parity for the rest of the campaign. host: headline from "the washington post," the biden warchest i know you're not an election lawyer, but any thoughts on those challenges and how hard it will be for her to secure that funding. this is probably -- guest: this is probably the weakest republican argument as to the harris viability. talking about the viability of switching to her in terms of

there are these deep state democrats. we run the unit party and it will effectively override any kind of resistance within the bureaucracy to make sure that this money transfer takes place. with up rather seamlessly and without any incidents. so yeah, but let's just kind of run rough shot over the rules of the fcc would definitely um uh for a basically file, a kind of a complaint against this kind of ledger domain where they're pushing some money from one candidate to another. as if it's, you know, a matter of course it is and it's actually illegal. so what we'll see what happens in that regard and back to the other points of your guess, which i concur with entirely. you know, the sooner the american empire falls, the better for everybody in this world, including americans, i should say, because we're being taxed and as our, our taxes are being used to murder people around the world in, in, in russia and ukraine, and in the gaza strip. and this is just, it's got to stop the us and power the sooner it falls, the better for

let's get more on the state of the democratic party.e as a democratic strategist who has previously served as a senior advisor to john kerry. i want to flashback to last night and that highly anticipated press conference. what did you make of joe biden's performance? there were some gaffes, weren't there? >> we would not really have noticed any of them but for the debate performance. that is the challenge. even if he had substituted trump's name for kamala harris's, everyone would have laughed it off except for what happened at the debate. for the next 115 days, for joe biden to continue in the race, he will have to meet tests like that every day. when you think about the fact that there is only 115 days left, 65 days until states like minnesota and others start early voting, you start to understand how little time there is left. the performance itself probably relieved some people's nerves. it probably stopped some people from calling on him to leave, but not all. but you are starting to get the sense in the wake of that press conferen

but how could you pass up the opportunity to deliver such an important state to the democrats if you are given that opportunity? would gretchen whitmer, if she were to take it, would she be able to deliver the state of michigan to the democrats? >> katy, i hate these theer et cam questions which i told you yesterday. she again today said i'm not leaving michigan. but i can tell you i would support her when she runs for anything, anywhere. she is still popular. and whatever office she runs for, she's going to help win michigan. i want to take you back to what she said today. she's strongly endorsed the vice president and she's not leaving michigan this year. >> let's talk about schumer, let's talk about hakeem jeffries. we'll hear from hakeem jeffries now? >> everybody is looking for -- i've said this to the president a week ago. i don't care about the donors. leadership matters -- >> the donors are reacting. >> i know that, but it's the american people. right now the vice president has to go out and sell herself to the delegates. as elected officials we have a right to endorse. i endo

secretary of state benson. democratic chairman. we got civil right leaders, faith leaders, labor leaders. thank you all. and by the way, i don't call labor. it's simple. unions. say the word. i can't tell you how much this means to me. i really mean it. thank you, thank you. folks, look, i'm here for one reason. kamala and i won michigan in 2020 because of you and we're going to win it again in 2024. and here's how we're going to do it. we're going to stand up for women in america. we're going to protect contraception. we're going to protect ivf. and we're going to restore roe v. wade as the law of the land. i mean it. we're going to protect the right to vote. we're going to fight for medicare and social security, not cut it like the other guy wants to do. i promise, i'm going to keep lowering the cost of prescription drugs in america. i'm going to keep expanding health care. no matter how many times trump and his maga republicans come after the affordable care act, we will stop them and stop them and stop them. i mean it. too many

only was he behind in swing states, but he was behind in states like virginia, a new mexico states that the democrats expected to win and did not expect to spend any money fighting. those states essentially jo bites was passed to the presidents . they went from there to there. it disappeared, not quite overnight, but certainly in the last 3 weeks since that terrible debate performance. and so what the democrats will be hoping is that couple of hours will open up that path will be able to push forward. she will get the nomination from the convention in chicago next month, and then we'll spend 3 months it's on the campaign trail and certainly from what we're seeing. it looks as if a lot of big name endorsements are flying behind. and it would really speaking to one democrats, but it would be political suicide for anyone to go up against her at the moment. this is really going to be the coordination of come up to become a lot us. and she is going to, more than likely be the nomination to the head on knowledge and say, or i would have the basis from the middle east, europe. and i last in america as the w

so there are, are some 2 democrats, another one would be congressman jo mansion. he is in a swing state of virginia. he had been calling on biden to step down, but did not necessarily put his support behind harris just yet. but there are questions about whether there was some strategy behind those senior democrats. not supporting house, get lots of other questions to kristen before the democratic national convention next month. what would change in the procedure leading up to an ad the event a well, there really are a lot of questions of just how this is going to play out at the democratic convention later in august. joe biden, by winning the primary in all 50 states here in the united states, had secured about 4000 delegates, had been committed to support him at the convention by him dropping out of the race . he put his support behind by that behind harris. but that doesn't mean that the delegates have to support harris. they now will have to be convince and vote as the party, as i said, some states have already committed to doing that, but many are, are not on the record yet. and it

josh shapiro, governor of pennsylvania, a critical battleground state democrats need to win if they're going to win the white house. he's 51-years-old, a little younger than vice president harris. he's a former state attorney general, the third jewish governor from the state or commonwealth of pennsylvania, roy cooper, 67-years-old. he's a bit older than the vice president of southern democrat, also a former state attorney general, and from a state democrats are eager to really put in play north carolina mark kelly, battleground, arizona us senator is 60-years-old, former astronaut, really compelling biography. and of course, the husband of gabby giffords and governor andy beshear in kentucky, 46-years-old, younger than the vice president, former state attorney general, elected twice in a red state. notice one thing, three of these final four i took you through former state attorneys general, just like kamala harris joining us now from paris is aimee greene in american political science researcher lecture but sciences po and author of america after obama, amy, thanks for joining us fir

he was in danger of falling behind in states that democrats count on carrying, that he carried last timempshire and other states that should not be in place and suddenly were in play. and now the page has turned. president biden, i think, just -- the context is he did a remarkable thing. he did something that politicians almost never do, which is step away from power when they don't absolutely have to. he could have stayed in this race. he believed in himself. i think he believed and may still believe that he could have pulled this out somehow. but the numbers were persuasive, and they were -- they were depressing in terms of his chances, and he did something, again, that politicians don't do, but that a patriot did yesterday. >> yeah, certainly many have stepped away from power in the beginning of our nation and there were only a few other times were an incumbent resigned. there is no other delegate who has announced they would run against her, although, senator manchin may. >> first of all, he's not a registered dem gnat. he would have to reregister as a democrat to run. that is not ha

there are basically three states that a democrat has to win and it's still the states that joe biden had to win. pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. there is a sense that the sunbelt states may be the bridge too far pennsylvania has always been sort of the tipping state, both campaigns pointed to as the one that we're that the democrats had to have trump has other paths so the question is, who can run well in those states in the question they're asking about the vp is how will she run in those states? and that's why you're seeing the names you're seeing in terms of the vice presidential candidates, obviously, josh shapiro would give them a good chance in the state of pennsylvania, mark kelly, who's war hero and an astronaut and a moderate with a strong record on border issues. he's also from a battleground state, would offer another set of assets to them, but they need to, they need to demonstrate it's fine to me. mobilize the cbc and the hispanic caucus. they need to a make a case to the whole country as to why she should be president, why she'd be the strongest candidate for pre

midwest states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, crucially important to democrats, but equally important southern states, arizona, georgia, nevada. one of the problems in that polling is that the latino base, african-american base, young base, has been drifting away from joe biden. do you sense in the last 24 hours latinos are ready to give vice president harris another look? >> this is a fascinating moment in u.s. politics. frankly, it is excitement just because things are ming. there is a conversation being had now that goes deeper than just the debate between joe biden and donald trump. we are now talking about this precise issue. how do you motivate black voters, do you motivate latino, latino, latinx voters to come out? i've heard people say in my reporting, will latinos vote for a black woman? immediately i went back to conversations that were being had when barack hussein obama was on the ticket and people were saying, will latinos vote for a black man whose name is barack hussein obama? they did. in fact, it was my dad who actually voted for barack obama, mexican man raised on th

donald. to turn the situation in one's favor, we understand that there are states that traditionally sympathize with the democrats, there are republican states, and there are, so to speak, neutral states on which a lot depends, and the key story, it is they , what are the prospects in your opinion for ms. geris to get a little more in these states that were not determined until recently? basically, i think she has a good chance of at least improving on the results that the polls showed for the candidacy biden, and in some of these states there were already polls about hayris, but still , very little time has passed so far, so i think that by the end of this week there will definitely be more updated data, in particular for these states, because after all, during the previous polls, m... you have to take into account that joe biden was still in the race at that time, so you have to look at them with some caution, but much more importantly , whether they will vote more will depend on kamela harris herself voters, and in those states that are swaying, or they are also called swing states or battleground states, that

state. democrats is that the american people for this, our enemies are watching this, you hear all about winningeat donald trump, what about the fact that democrat south american to very dangerous position here where adversaries and enemies are watching the tomato moves and it is clear that joe biden cannot handle a huge crisis? >> martha: jason there's some reporting today that some democrats have expressed that they would not mind or would not feel terrible if something else would happen that would make this decision come to a floor that the kind of thing was i yesterday as the debaters on the exilic? is also suggestions that a whistleblower could emerge from inside the white house with stories that would make it very difficult for this president to continue. are you comfortable with all of that given the fact that these, these delegates at voters, he won all of these primaries and he is not wrong when he says that he is the choice of the voters? >> democrats don't get a do over, these are not profiles encouraged. we saw a bad debate couple of weeks ago but at the george clooney's of the world

pete will there be a price to pay for the democratic party and their overt lie about joe biden's cognitive state? will there be a price to pay for disenfranchizing democratic primary voters? i think so, first of all, it's leadership malpractice. it's an abandonment of the american people you're supposed to be leading. i don't know, our foreign policy, our economy, our border security. you're supposed to be the commander in chief, and they've abandoned that. they knew it was fake. they didn't make this change. when they knew it. they made this change when we saw it, when it was undeniable and they will pay a price for that. so that is also political malpractice. the voters will, i believe, take a discount on whoever replaces them, especially if it's handed to kamala because it is biden. harris and she has no economic experience, no foreign policy experience. she's the border czar. she wants medicare for all. she wants to end our health care system, ultimately, she she's ahead of the green new scam. she hates ice. she's radical. she's not going to play in those rust belt states that trump has a le

be victorious, because as you mentioned last night, our meeting of democrats who are usually a rambunctious and feisty group in the staterk and that is what i love about our democratic party, but as the leader of the party i wanted to send a clear message early on that we have tremendous power in our state. new york only after california has the largest number of delegates they go to the convention, so i wanted to speak out clearly and early and give her the boost that she needed and deserved and we are so proud to have put her over the top. >> take us inside that meeting last night. i have some familiarity with the democratic party in the 1990s when i was working for senator moynihan, but a meeting like this never occurred before. what was it like in there? i'm sure there were a lot of heartbroken people feeling heartbroken about joe biden, but also with this new mission for vice president harris. >> you and i come out of the same old school politics. i served for senator moynihan a little bit earlier than you did. i've been working in politics since i worked with tim russert as a high school student in buffalo. this i

build a big beautiful wall that separates church and state baby and he might be able to write a song about that. and the violence that the democrats are being accused of. donald trump has put a bull's eye. there is 10 to 15 people who have targets on their back from state senators, illegal immigrants, politicians, democrats and one other thing i would like to address is the fact when they say they are communists, do they understand america? because the only communist group in this country are catholic nuns and i am a catholic. treat their leaders and if there was a diety why did he put the bullet into a retired firearm? that is bizarre logic and significancenning. host: 39-year-old senator from ohio, j.d. vance, the running mate of the former president is giving the biggest speech of his political career. here is the headline, trump running mate to deliver the most important speech of his career at the republican convention. from inside reporting will focus on his bio and ties into the america first agenda. it which is connect his life experiences to the trump policies and holding his experience as a tough upbringing and shaped hi

economist and activist, part of the... gazahome.com campaign and serves as director for the one democratic state in palestine, promoting a single democratic state as the only just solution in the region. welcome to you both. let me start with you, ramsay. netanyahu is on his trip to the us, now donations bowl at the ready. why has the us received a man who is currently committing lifestream genocide? well, this is as much biden's genocide. as it is netanyahu's, they don't call him genocide joe for nothing. uh, it may be true that there are different factions and different interests in israeli society and israeli politics, as there are different factions and different interests in imperial uh society and imperial politics, but they really function together as one whole towards the same end, so it's really no surprise. all right, um, let's talk about kumala harris, the current vice president, annie, and the presumptive democratic challenger to trump. would the palestinian cause fair any differently under a harris or a trump administration? this is very, um, pertinent question really putting forwar

states. as a consequence, many leaders and brought many democrats here in the united states. felt that by them had no choice to step down because you needed to clear the way for a new democratic ticket, better place to defeat trauma. what europeans are really worried about what the premiums are really worried about is that trunk will come. he will again straighten the transatlantic alliance as a consequence, they want to see the best democratic ticket for the possible take on donald trump. let's stay with the democratic ticket. there was a possible one in any way by them. it has in the last 3 years, been a strong supporter of ukraine and a key ally in israel's war against the moss. would you expect harris to continue the same policies if she were to be elected or broadly speaking? yes, i don't think there's a lot of ideological daylight between the vice president harris and president biden, that having been said, i do think that whoever wins the november election, we will probably see a new approach to ukraine. and that's because it looks like a stalemate is immersion. it looks like if that st

across all levels of government, are supporting kamala harris to defeat donald trump. >> the state's democratics pick today supporting vice president harris and the presidential race as the presumptive nominee. arizona delegates, highlighting her vision for the country and emphasizing how the democratic party is really up against the clock here, as the democratic national convention is set to start august 19th there in chicago and in washington state, we go one county there says the number of young people killed by gunfire is more than double the total all of last year. >> that data, according to the king county medical examiner's office. it does show 13 young people were victims of homicide by firearm as of july 18th. all of the victims were 17 years old or younger. the king county prosecuting attorney's office says there's a reason for the uptick in youth with guns. prosecutors say teens have easier access now to ghost guns and modified guns known as switches. the washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs says it is speaking with legislators on both sides of the aisle working to pa

and one for election in november the states democratic governor and senator were notably both absent from a raleigh were binding the dress criticisms of his fitness for office. before unintentionally asked a crowd of supporters, john 100 reports of the event in the city of detroit. the president joe biden returning to the campaign trail in the battleground state of michigan, and he wasted no time answering the question on nearly everyone's mind. speculation like, what's joe, why going to do is you're going to drop out here's why are you doing? we're going to learn when he won in 2020 by doing of wins in pennsylvania, in the midwestern states of michigan, wisconsin, illinois, in minnesota, the so called democratic blue wall. but with a growing group of democrats calling for him to end his campaign biden is battling his own party as well as protestors against the war in god degreed into supporters in detroit. as long as him in the administration continues to send aid and, and, and bonds and arms to israel. we're going to continue to protest his pres

democratic party. the evidence is clear about this. most americans believe the united states should support israel in his conflict with hamas. that is true of most democrats as well as most americans. number two, there's almost no evidence this had any effect on joe biden's approval ratings. quite the contrary. we asked people whether they approved or disapproved of biden 's handling of the war. most people disapproved. we asked why. the smallest number said it was because he was too supported of israel the next largest number said it was because he was too supportive of the palestinians. the largest number said it did not matter which side he was on, they just did not like how he was handling it. i do not think this will be terribly divisive. it is about the platform. that platform was passed unanimously. there were no amendments on this subject. that is not that they people will not try and do something at the convention, not to say there will not be protests. i worry about the protests and the response of the protests much more than the substance its -- substantive issue i

state democrats it's need to win if they're going to win the white house, he's 51-years-old, a little younger than vice president harris. he's a former state attorney general, the third jewish governor from the state or commonwealth of pennsylvania, roy cooper, 67-years-old. he's a bit older than the vice president, a southern democrat, also a former state attorney the general, and from a state democrats are eager to really put in play north carolina. mark kelly, battleground, arizona us senator is 60-years-old, former astronaut really compelling biography. and of course, the husband of gabby giffords and governor andy beshear in kentucky, 46-years-old, younger than the vice president, former state attorney general, elected twice in a red state. notice one thing three of these final four i took you through former state attorneys general, just like kamala harris, abby, that relationship matters. david chalian. thank you very much. all white man. doug dei hire i mean, what do you make of the options here? >> well, first as north carolina and as a tar heel, i like roy cooper, i know him

let's join august, the club texaco is a full but the democrats state send us a symbol of carolina, and i'd like to delegate to the national democratic convention. he joined stuff, washington dc. steve clemens has the highest vouchers areas. we can show you the bottom line. joining us also from the american capital, but 1st let's talk to barbara perry. she's director of the presidential studies at the university of virginia miller center. joseph in charlottesville and virginia. we've spoken many times before. this probably is good to have you on the program. i'd like to say you could write the scripts could, you know, i used to say about the movie all presidents man, when it came out in 1976 about water days. the watergate scandal which i, i thought was so outrages at the time in real life that i said if i hadn't known but watergate has happened, and a president nixon had resigned the officer, the presidency. i would have said if this had been fiction, i would say it's unbelievable and i'm going to say the same thing. now the fact that these things have happened is close succession and

economist and activist part of the bringazahome.com campaign and serves as director for the one democratic state in palestine, promoting a single democratic state as the only just solution in the region. welcome to you both. let me start with you, ramsay. netanyahu is on his trip to the us, now donations bowl at the radi. why has the us received a man who is currently committing lifestream genocide?
