joining me is wisconsin's democratic senator tammy baldwin, who of course was on joe biden's short listbe vice president. senator baldwin, it is good to see you. i want to ask about tonight. i read something in "politico" last week that i thought was really striking. it was about the significance of the kamala harris pick this time is this -- unlike what walter mondale did with geraldine ferraro or what john mccain did with sarah palin, two candidates who were behind, hoping to, you know, hoping this woman would rescue their campaign, this time a woman isn't being set up to fail was the point of this piece. this time a woman is being set up to succeed. do you concur with that analysis? >> well, certainly i know that the contrast between the two parties and the top of the ticket in both parties could not be starker, and wisconsinites cou understand that we need change. i certainly think that kamala harris, my friend and colleague in the u.s. senate is an excellent choice as a running mate. not only is she somebody who's had extensive experience in executive branch politics and office hol

tammy baldwin, the senator from wisconsin. tammy duckworth, the senator from illinois. everyone had a moment in the spotlight as names were speculated. but i'm also guided by the fact that since even before joe biden got into this race, that there's been a name that's been on the forefront of a lot of people's thinking. and that's been california senator kamala harris. she is somebody, obviously, who was close to -- not just joe biden but beau biden, his son. they served as the attorneys general of their respective states at the same time. there were a number of pictures of the two of them in the run up to the beginning of the 2020 race that led everyone to be thinking this certainly looks like a good ticket without any knowledge, of course, of where this process was heading. the moment that changed what everyone assumed would be a natural choice if not the inevitable choice for joe biden should he win the nomination was that moment in miami. our own first presidential debate in which she went at the former vice president on his record over busing. the conversation as w

and help the both republican ron johnson and tammy baldwin and now in the week of violent protests, fireosha and the state could play critical roles in who wins the white house in november. president trump won wisconsin by less than 23,000 votes in 2016. he was the first republican to carry kenosha county and 44 years. a market loss pole funds back in june, wisconsin proved 36 to 86 percent, but august, the numbers evened out, 48% and this was beg erupted. a major theme of the rnc. >> violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest, they don't safeguard black lives. they only destroy them. president trump understands th this. he has offered federal help to restore order in the community. in a time when the police departments are short on resources and manpower. we need the help. >> the president condemned the violent demonstrations and attacks on law enforcement while democrats have been far more supportive of the protesters and police, which could be a key tipping point in november. >> president trump standing up and saying, yeah, peaceful protests are okay but when they go

for example, senator tammy baldwin, democrat from wisconsin, observed, quote, more women go into politics to get something done, to solve a problem, to fix something than men do. very few of my female colleagues got into politics bah they just wanted to be a u.s. senator. we're not there for the power of politics, end quote. similarly, representative anna eschew, who is still there, democrat from california, told us, quote, i don't think women come here to be somebody. i think we come here to get things done. end quote. in addition to the idea that women are problem solvers, congresswomen frequently told us they believe the women are more collaborative than the men. as one example, senator susan collins, republican from maine, noted, quote, i want to dispel the notion that somehow we think alike or we share the same political views. just as the men in the senate span the idealogical spectrum, so do the women. but i do believe the style of the women senators is more collaborative, end quote. a majority of women expressed the view that they are more bipartisan than the men, more likely to c

senator tammy baldwin says there are risks with moving this quickly towards a vaccine. >> the risk isctive and they will have manufactured and there will be no use for them. but if you don't do that, we find that the vaccine is useful and is effective, you don't want to have to wait another six months or more to ramp up the manufacturing of it. so they reduced the numbers of vaccine prospects they are doing with this. reporter: that's why the u.s. is invested with or secured purchasing agreements with at least six vaccine makers. this is about life and death with the virus but it's also political with an election just 91 days out. listen to this. >> there is a solution and god willing, we will have a vaccine one of these days soon, matter of months, but people can be affected and die in the meantime, and that impacts on our economy. reporter: democrats focused on those folks who could become sick but the october surprise this year could be a vaccine. we'll have to see. neil: that would be a very big deal. edward lawrence, thank you very very much. how big a deal really depends on the

i'm curious, are you hearing greaten whitmer's name, tammy baldwin's name still in the hunt for vicedential selection? obviously those two would go a long way in helping the former vice president lockdown wisconsin and michigan. or has the vice president now decided that it would only be a black woman who is his vice presidential pick. >> i can't say i have inside information. i'm hearing the same chatter i think everybody else is, you've been talking about it here, harris and rice getting more buzz than everybody else. karen bass a week ago you were hearing a lot about her, the congresswoman from california, but there's been a lot that's -- it's come out in a public vetting process here that i think has made it much less likely he'd go in that direction. the other name i heard was tammy duckworth, the senator from illinois. but the other names i haven't gotten buzz about them in a while now. >> all right. steve kornacki thank you so much. ed luce, what are you working on right now? >> i'm working on a long kind of bio graphic cal profile of biden that will be our cover story just be
