. >> the chairman of the democratic national committee, tom perez, he told cnn today that diversity waslearly, in his words, on stark display last night. do you think it was? >> i do that. i do that. it was on display. i enjoyed watching last night. you know, when you compare the democratic convention to the republican convention every four years, it's like night and day. rnc is the big ted party. at the same time, that doesn't mean if they had stuck with what they were going to go with last week, fortunately they made some improvements. but if they had stuck with that, then yeah, i think that there would have been even more concern. this is -- it's always a work in progress. and, you know, i know i'm going to do my part like i know a lot of people will to ensure that we reach every community so that joe biden and kamala harris replace donald trump and mike pence on january 20th of next year. >> i know you're going to do the best that you can on that front. mr. secretary, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> julian castro. and stay with cnn for live coverage of day two of

tom perez addressed the issue this morning on cnn. >> i would ask people to look at the list of speakerscaptain cortez masto and governor michelle gresham and i'll be speaking tonight and congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez is speaking. the diversity of our party was on stark display last night and i'm proud of it. it will be on stark display all week. >> the co-founder of a group called united we dream, what do you think of perez's response? >> anderson, to win this november, joe biden needs the support of latino voters in a big way. and it is concerning to see not more latino representation within the dnc, programming, especially from latino political figures, that have inspired and mobilized the latino community like secretary julian castro who is also a former presidential candidate and marginalizing alexandria ocasio-cortez to only 60 seconds of the main programming, meanwhile you saw republicans taking speaking slots in the opening day. >> julian castro said the democrats could win the presidency in november and lose support with latino voters which could benefit republicans in

i haven't heard a full throated response from the democratic party, a statement from tom perez, the party chair and the different leaders, denouncing this, it almost feels like there's a sense of, oh, this again. we heard this before. >> i think that's probably right. it's one thing for a magazine to public an op-ed that on its base is totally ridiculous and offensive. but it's another thing for the president from the white house to dignify the nonsense suggesting it somehow deserves to be taken seriously. so once it reaches the level of the president himself saying these claims and these allegations deserve to be taken seriously, people should keep an eye out for the camera parts, and the top democratic party officials to speak out and say this isn't okay, that said to your point, this is definitely something that is extreme in character for the president. it's very much consistent with how he leaved his public life n and out of government, and i think there's no question that democrats, looking at the way he handled this particular episode is likely this type of activity from the presid

tom perez, thanks for joining the program this morning. >> always a pleasure, jim. >> and tonight be sure to watch cnn, this as dr. jill biden and former president bill clinton will speak tonight. cnn's special live coverage of the convention continues tonight at 8:00 eastern time. for over 25 years, home instead has helped seniors stay home. now, staying home isn't just staying in the place they love. it's staying safe. home instead. to us, it's personal. today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste. >>> paying college tuition is one of the many struggles many families are facing, especially during the eyes is caused by the pandemic. >> but as more colleges and universities move to online only classes some families are wondering why, you may be among them, are they paying full tuition. bianna golodryga joins us now with more. a lot of parents facing this very question. what is the colleges' defens

something like tom perez ought to be able to say something that is supportive of mr. his family about throwing more gasoline on the fires. >> martha: that's another tragic part of this story, that his young children were apparently in the car with his partner as well in the backseat of that car. we don't know how this bond to the place that it spun to. it is under investigation. with regard to the black lives matter movement and obviously when something like this happens it ignites a lot of passion on all sides here and we see the protesters out there tonight. peaceful protests, may be understandable in this situation. but here's what kyl kamala harrs had to say about how joe biden to purchase all of this. >> joe speaks and knows how to say the words black lives matter, contrary to what the president of the united states says which is to so hate and division full-time and will never speak the words black lives matter. >> martha: how significant or not significant is that that the president doesn't say those words? >> welcome i think it's very interesting to see kamala

. >> sandra: do we have tom perez and nancy pelosi on today taking on the president. >> it is ethicallyhtaking to hear the president say i'm going to give a political speech from the white house. it is so unethical. there is no surprise. >> for the president of the united states to degrade once again the white house says it's done over and over again by saying it's going to completely politicize it is something that should be rejected right out of hand. >> sandra: concerns have come into play. are you concerned this is illegal? >> i love the fact that president donald trump lives rent free in the heads of the democrats and the mainstream media. let's be honest. they didn't want him to speak at mount rushmore. they pitched a fit when he spoke with the rose garden. now they are going apoplectic because he may speak from the white house. have you noticed a common theme? they don't want him to speak at all because they know the difference between this president's message. it resonates. >> sandra: hogan, he doesn't live rent free in the white house. it's the people's house. we all pay for it

>> harris, a lot has changed since april and the dnc chair tom perez said that even though the convention would be delayed the party was still 100% committed to milwaukee. because now, for public health reasons, they are 100% steering clear of that city. joe biden will accept the party nomination from here in delaware. even though his speech was going to be the biggest one, the party is saying now this is really only a minor adjustment to that plan since most of the big speeches during the program were already going to happen from remote locations around the country. this covid-19 related cancellation comes as the biden campaign is making a covid-19-themed move, betting $260 million for tv and digital ads, the most effective attack on trump in the home stretch will be about us and tell mike about his handling of the pandemic. that's what they will address. the term camping is focusing more on comments biden made last night about his cognitive abilities when you give this answer about a question related to a cognitive test. >> no, i haven't taken a test. why the hill do to a cognitive test

you heard tom perez saying let's hear her speak every night. okay.he president will head to the battleground state of arizona after visiting iowa. that's where he is right now, a disaster relief and disaster after the storm briefing there. parts of that state devastated by the storms last week, and this last night, the trump campaign out with its first digital recap of convention night 1. watch. >> there just wasn't a lot of meat on the bones. it was the same tired talking points that we have all been hearing for the last four years. they hate this president more than they love the country. >> harris: kristin fisher, live at the white house. kristin, good to see. >> hey, harris. in addition to all of the swing state stops, the trump campaign is countering this all-virtual dnc with a very aggressive digital ad buy. by launching some of its sharpest ads yet against joe biden, and right now that ad is sitting on the youtube.com masthead. it's one of the internet's most prime pieces of real estate, when you go to that site right now. it's up there at the

we heard from tom perez on twitter last night saying the dnc had the best online fund-raising day everin history, in the history of the dnc. the fact we kept hearing 303 30 from convention speakers themselves. you don't often hear that from keynote speakers tells you everything about the strategy they have to run here. so hopefully they will be able to share that information soon. >> all right. let me move over to shannon. are there regrets behind the scenes for the charactaricaturee biden that blew up in their face yesterday? >> in his remarks today he continued to call biden stupid, hillary clinton smart, saying he would rather be running against someone smart than someone stupid. so he's obviously continuing that message. these attacks on biden's mental acumen, i wrote about this a month ago or so are essential to their theme and their argument that biden is this trojan horse for socialism. and that he has been coopted by the radical left, taken over. people know who joe biden is. they know him as barack obama's folksy vice president. he is part of this long-time democratic washingt

i'm tom perez. this has been an incredible week.hasn't been the kind of convention you might have been expecting. and to be honest, it wasn't the kind of convention we had planned for. but in a way, what we've seen over the last three nights, and what we'll see tonight is a more accurate reflection of where our country is than any traditional convention could have been. we've seen our party is ready to lead not just now but into the next generation. we've heard a lot from people who aren't running for anything this year. people who might not even think of themselves as political. auto workers and college students, farmers and immigrants. teachers, nurses, and, yes, the occasional calamari chef. if the literal meeting of the word convention has to do with coming together, then what has brought us together this year isn't partisanship. it's purpose. that's what has allowed us to bring both die-hard progressives and concerted ex-republicans under the same tent and allowed us to build a campaign where no state, no precinct, no vote is t

democratic national committee chair, tom perez. >> our north star has always been public health and safetyit was clear from the outset, we have always made sure we listen to the experts. >> nawaz: originally scheduled for july, the convention was delayed to gust. the venue, originally the fiserv forum, home to milwaukee's n.b.a. team with capacity for 18,000 people, was changed to the smaller wisconsin center, that can house up to 4,000 people. instead of one city hosting the entire event, the convention will now be anchored from milwaukee...with curated content from other cities. as for the headliners, they'll be virtual too. years past, the party's presumptive nominee delivering an acceptance speech before roaring crowds has been a signature convention moment. >> hillary! hillary! hillary! >> nawaz: this year, former vice president joe biden will deliver his remarks from his home state of delaware on the final night of the convention. in fact, all speakers, incding his running mate, california senator kamala harris, and other key figures in the democratic party, will be delivering speech

i'm tom perez. this has been an incredible week.n the kind of convention you might have been expecting. and to be honest, it wasn't the kind of convention we had planned for. but in a way, what we have seen over the last three nights and what we'll see tonight is a morr country is than any traditional convention could have been. yes, we've talked a lot about our next president and vice president, joe biden and kamala harris. we've talked about how they'll tackle the challenges we face and lead our country to a brighter future. and we've seen that our party is ready to lead, not just now, but into the next generation. but we've also heard a lot from people who aren't running for anything this year. people who might not even think of themselves as political. auto workers and college students. farmers and immigrants. teachers, nurses, and yes, the occasional calamari chef. if the literal meaning of the word "convention" has to do with coming together, then what has brought us together this year isn't partisanship, it's purpose. that's
