6:00 pm
the house pre-site committee are both screaming for your resignation. that's that's a problem it's also extraordinary i mean, how would, would she wait till the investigation is done before stepping down? i think that if she stays on for the next 48, 72 hours she's probably there for the time being. that's my instinct. that's it's only an instinctive if she survives next 48, 72 hours after that hearing today secretary jeh johnson. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> that's it for us. the news continues the source with kaitlan collins starts now the source tonight, a re-energized party rapidly uniting around vice president harris. >> as she makes her first appearance at what is now her
6:01 pm
campaign headquarters this evening. the party you've shattering fundraising records in the first 24 hours of her presidential bid. and tonight the search for a potential running mate is taking shape, but a governor who is widely seen as a top contender there is here. he was actually one of the first people that she called after president biden left the race i'm kaitlan collins and this is the source we are live in washington dc tonight. we're truly everything has changed and i do mean everything the 2024 campaign, as we knew it, is over, vice president kamala harris has effectively cleared the runway to the nomination. and what has been a whirlwind 24 hours she's been locking down state delegations and racking up critical endorsem*nts, including that a former house speaker, nancy pelosi. now the current democratic leaders, we are told by sources are expected to follow suit and just about
6:02 pm
everyone who is considered a potential challenger for this nomination has endorsed harris on top of that, the campaign says that she has raised a staggering and record breaking $81 million in 24 hours. that's on top of the existing 240 million that will be passed on from the biden war chest but what stood out the most today was when we heard from president biden himself, the first time since making his monumental announcement yesterday, calling into what is now the harris campaign headquarters in delaware the team embrace her. she's the best i know yesterday's news is surprising and it's hard for you to hear. but it was the right thing to do. >> the name has changed the top of the ticket, but the mission hasn't changed at all. and by the way, i'm not going anywhere. i'm gonna be out there to campaign with her. >> it is so good to hear are president's voice joe, i know you're still on the the call
6:03 pm
log i love you over the next 106 days, we are going to take our case to the american people and we are going to win now bit of breaking news for you tonight as we have just learned that president biden will be returning to the white house tomorrow after self-isolating in delaware with covid. that is the first time that he'll return to the white house grounds since he announced his exiting the 2024 race today, it was surreal to hear him talk about the last six months of his presidency that are ahead. in the meantime, the vice president reiterated that she plans to earn the democratic nomination. but we've really no time to waste ahead of november. she's already showcasing her strategy to try and defeat donald trump it was a courtroom prosecutor in those roles, i took on perpetrators of all kinds, predators who abused women fraudsters who ripped off consumers cheaters,
6:04 pm
who broke the rules for their own gain hear me when i say i know donald trump's type and in this campaign i will proudly i will proudly put my record against his now the question is, if she becomes the formal democratic nominee, who is going to be doing that with her. the search for a running mate is very much on with only 28 days to go before the democratic can pension in chicago. >> my lead source tonight is a governor who is widely being discussed as being near the top of harris. harris, his shortlist and joining me now is the kentucky governor andy beshear, governor. it's great to have you back here on the source. you just heard vice president harris addressing the campaign staff that is now her campaign staff in the last 24 hours obviously, it's been quite the 24 hours for her for really everybody witnessing this. and i know you spoke to her yesterday how that conversation go?
6:05 pm
>> well thank you for having me and i can't start without thanking president biden for his incredible service from leading us out of a pandemic at record speed to being there for kentucky inns after tornadoes and floods, to helping us build the best economy of our lifetime, including the two biggest battery plant that's on planet earth that he is an incredible american. i'm grateful for all the money to bring internet to every household in kentucky for clean drinking water and for so much with that said, i am excited to fully endorse the vice president to be the next president of the united states. >> she called me personally just hours after president biden's announcement and i admit that means a lot to me, but i'm not the only 110 hours on the phone doing the hard work that it takes to bring together the coalition that you see coming around her. >> there is so much energy and it's energy because we know
6:06 pm
her we know that she is a strong and smart person which will make her a good president. but she is also a kind and empathetic person. and that's going to make her a great president. now, just think about the contrast here's the vice president with empathy, looking out for people versus what's on the other side, which is just people looking out for themselves. i think you're going to see this energy continue and i think the vice president's going to win this race become the president of the united states. but most importantly, move us past all this partisan bickering. move us past the constant back-and-forth. people are exhausted about it and she's got a chance to be that next leader that moves us beyond it well, and you mentioned that you were one of the first people that she called. >> did she mentioned anything about having you serve as her running mate potentially well, i'm not keep any of the details of that call personal but what she did is she called
6:07 pm
and asked for my support and i willingly gave a cheat. >> she talked about having just months to make sure we won this election but wanting to earn it. >> she said she didn't want a coronation. >> she wanted to earn it. and that's exactly what i needed to hear. that she is going to get out there just like she's doing today and make her case to the american people. she is the perfect person the prosecute the case against donald trump years that district attorney and a former attorney general, like i was that's out there. >> having represented having fought for victims of rape and incest of domestic abuse taking on donald trump and j.d. vance, j.d. vance, a guy that said when a woman is raped and becomes pregnant, it is quote, inconvenient or that women should stay with a domestic abuser. monod is really wrong
6:08 pm
and the vice president is the perfect person. to contrast that view and how wrong former president trump and j.d. vance are on those. and so many more issues i know you've said you love your job as governor of kentucky, but if you were asked to serve as vice president, would you lean towards saying yes? i do love my job here in kentucky, my kids are happy. we're having record success we broken every record for private sector investment, new jobs exports, tourism, recidivism is at a low. the last three years, our drug overdoses are going down first time in a long time, which is critically important. so i loved the work that i do. the only reason i'd ever consider something else is if i felt that i can help my people and kentucky more in a different role or that there was a chance to move past the partisanship the constant fighting what we've done in
6:09 pm
kentucky's turn down the temperature and have everybody democrats and republicans focus on those things that are in partisan, like good jobs, solid infrastructure, health care that's accessible and affordable to everyone internet access, public safety, public education. and i just think america and in our people are yearning for a time when they're not defined by their party where everything from the car they drive to the beer they drink, isn't about picking a team. i think they're just yearning to get beyond this and get back to a sense of normalcy. >> but on that, on that race, of course, this is a big question of who is going to be on that ticket with her if she is the nominee, there are some people who have already started submitting information for betting purposes. are you one of those people have you submitted information to the harris campaign? >> i've not been personally asked to submit information at this point and you and i spoke right after you won reelection. >> it's a weird thing for a democratic governor in a very
6:10 pm
red state like kentucky, if you were selected as vice president and i know we're talking about hypotheticals, but it matters and what would you bring to the ticket as far as appealing to rural voters who may have turned away from your party well, i know how to talk to people on both sides of the aisle. >> you have to in a state like kentucky. and again, it's recognizing that when people wake up in the morning, the things they're worried about partisan, and they're not thinking about the presidential election, thinking about their job, and whether they make enough to support their family, they're thinking about whether they can afford their next doctor's appointment for their parents or their kids or themselves. they're thinking about the safety of the roads and bridges they drive on that day. they're thinking about their public safety in their community, and they're thinking about their kids future there education, and then the opportunities when we govern in that way, we don't move a state or a country to the right or the left, we just move it forward again. i think americans are yearning for that. now stop the right and
6:11 pm
left everything is a democrat or republican. if we're going to leak correctly, we can't view the world through a red or a blue lens when everything one team does is supposed to be right and everything the other team does is supposed to be wrong. people just want a better life and they want leaders that will work for the benefit of everyone when you create good jobs, you hope democrats and republicans, independents, and anybody else, whether they voted for you or not my rule is always been yes. i run as a proud democrat, but the moment i went ai take that hat off and i tried to serve every single kentucky and it's why i go to every part of the state. what we've created jobs everywhere because there's not a democratic or republican job. there's just a community that need them and families that are improved by them. >> yeah, it sounds like you think you'd be able to help bring in some of those more moderate voters. but obviously, this race, if it shapes up the way it is looking right now, would be harrison trump at the top of the ticket. i want you to listen to what j.d. vance
6:12 pm
said today. senator j.d. vance, at his first solo rally since he was named as donald trump's running mate this is not okay. >> ladies and gentlemen, you cannot for three years take a guy who clearly didn't have the mental capacity so need to do the job kamala harris lied about it my senate democratic colleagues lied about it. the media lied about it. every single person who saw joe biden knew that he wasn't capable of doing the job. and for three years they said nothing until he became political dead weight what's your reaction to that, governor well, first, he ought to call the vice president by her title. she earned him. she as vice president harris, but the second is, is there grasping for straws? us. j.d. vance yes, it is a phony he's fake. i mean, he first says that donald trump is like hitler and now he's acting like he's blinken i mean, the
6:13 pm
problem with j.d. vance is he has no conviction, but i guess his running mate has 34 well, i'm glad you brought him up because he just responded to something you said today when you when you are calling him phony this morning, you said that, you know, he ain't appalachia as he talks about his roots and growing up in ohio, but being raised in the summer, by his grandmother and kentucky and he just responded to what you had to say. >> i want you to listen to that very weird. >> have a guy law firm and inherently governor from his father my words. like nobody gave me the governorship and nobody gave me a job in my father was i'm proud of that. >> he said nobody gave me the governorship and nobody gave me a job because of who my father was. i'm proud of that. obviously a reference to your own father. what's your response to those comments from senator vance? >> what was weird was him joking about racism today and then talk about diet mountain
6:14 pm
dew, who drinks diet mountain dew. >> but it all seriousness he ain't from here. >> he is not from kentucky. >> this is a guy who would come maybe in the summer for some period of time or to weddings or funerals and then he claims to be from eastern kentucky, tries to write a book about it to profit off our people. and then he calls us laci. and this makes me angry, but it's especially makes me angry about our people in eastern kentucky these are the hard hardworking coal miners that power the industrial revolution that helped build the strongest middle-class the world has ever seen, helped us win two world wars. and he called them lazy, acting like he understands our culture and he's one of us. he's not. this is a guy who went out to silicon valley. that's trying to be an every man be one of us how do you think you would fare against senator vance if you were selected as the vice president and the two of you were on the debate stage together come
6:15 pm

beshear is criticism of j.d. >> vance, his claims have roots in appalachia more now from our interview how do. you think you would fare against senator vance if you were selected as the vice president and the two of you were on the debate stage together come september but i do any of the names that i'm hearing and a lot of them are friends would be j.d. vance as lunch every day on a debate stage leading up to november listen i'm not a name caller i believe in moving past a lot of the political rhetoric. but when you have profited off our people and kentucky, when you have created a phony charity that you claim is going to help on opioids. listen, i sued more opioid companies as attorney general than any other in the country. three, if i could have found more out of sued them to because i was so mad with what they did to our people we need folks that have substance. we
6:21 pm
need folks that are up for the job. and j.d. vance certainly isn't and never will be yeah. >> and i know you tout that record on opioids. there were questions raised. a law firm that you previously worked for that represented purdue pharma, but on another issue that obviously is going to be central to the 2024 campaign, abortion this is something that i know is personal for you too. i covered your reelection race. your state has a law that does not have exceptions for rape or incest. hadley duvall was featured in one of those ads that was incredibly searing. and senator vance in the past has previously signaled he only supported exceptions for abortions when the life of the mother is at risk when he was asked about rape or incest, he said and i'm quoting him two wrongs don't make a right what do you believe national democrats need to learn from how you ran on this issue in a red state in your last election in 2024 on a national level? >> well i kentucky this is now not about being pro this or pro
6:22 pm
that because of donald trump and his appointments to the supreme court, that world is gone in kentucky. what it means right now is we have one of the most draconian laws in the country where even victims of rape and incest or or lemon would not a viable pregnancies have zero options at all. imagine folks wanting to be parents that are learning that their child will die moments after its born, that are then forced to listen to those final cries. it's cruel and it's mean. and then think about hadley now, hadley abused by her stepfather years, starting when she was very young, pregnant, and at 12 or 13 and speaking out now, having the incredible courage because other people in her spot, right now in kentucky don't have options. j.d. vance is 100% wrong. it fails the test of human decency and empathy listened about 85% of
6:23 pm
kentuckian's believe there should be exceptions. there. that makes j.d. vance and extremist and dangerous, but even moving past him, folks, these are people that have been harmed that have been violated. some of them children and the world j.d. vance, once they're rapists, would have more rights then that victim, we should all be able to agree that that's wrong. and this is just a clear step. we ought to take in every single state while i believe there should be much more access in the very least victims of rape and incest a non-viable pregnancies deserve options governor andy beshear, if you are asked to submit betting information, please keep us updated. >> thanks so much for your time tonight. >> thank you my political experts have been listening along with the rest of you. >> and of course we are here looking at this karen finney what do you make of what you just heard there? do you think
6:24 pm
he'd be a good pick for harris if she's not 100%, i think you saw this is part sort of why he is beloved in the democratic party mean he illustrates how you can win anywhere if you stand up for your values and speak from the heart, which i heard him doing your interview. >> because he's a democrat yes. day, which is basically unheard of. obviously, his dad was governor and so he's got a household name there. but in the sense of, you what he could contribute to the ticket, an appeal potentially to world voters that is going to be something they're looking for. what were, what did biden bring to the ticket that a harris may need for her coalitions, if it will feel little strange of his primary message is to try to litigate jd vance's biography. i feel like he probably needs a crispr message. he would feel like a do no kind of pick it sort of reminds me in some ways of tim kaine being chosen to be hillary clinton's running mate where it's a pick that virginia wasn't a state that they felt they really needed in the same way that kentucky is unlikely to vote for a democratic candidate. there are other options he's out there from senior states that maybe he clearly seems to be doing what vance did at the rnc,
6:25 pm
which is naming michigan, wisconsin, all the pennsylvania basically lumping them in with ohio where he's from. he clearly is trying to also i'm make that appeal to those kinds of voters for sure. >> but i think that on the democratic side, again, he seems like a sort of do no harm candidate, not necessarily one that's going to add you a lot, but he may not cost you a lot either. yeah. >> we have a lot to talk about just beyond that also, what we heard from harris and from president biden tonight also, we're getting brand new information about who was put in charge of vetting those potential running mates, provided it's president harris, stick with us. we'll be back after a quick break to me, harlem is au, but home is also your body. >> last one, everyone i asked myself why does it pilates exist in harlem so i started my own studio get into a brick and-mortar in new york is not easy. chase ink has supported that's from studio one to studio three when you start small, you need some big health

get super beta prostate this is cnn. the world's news network just in tonight, cnn has learned that the former attorney general, eric holder and his law firm are going to handle the vetting for people like who you just heard from andy beshear, potential running mates for vice president harris, holder, of course, was america's first black attorney
6:30 pm
general under former president barak obama and this comes as tonight, nearly 30,000 volunteers have signed up to help harris's newly formed presidential campaign. >> that is 100 times the daily norm. we are told all of this is coming as a new cbs poll that was conducted over the last few days finds that 83% of democrats believe that president biden did the right thing by ending his reelection bid. almost 80% of democrats believe that vice president harris is up to the task a beating donald trump come november. my political panel is back here with me and simon. obviously, this has been a moment for democrats, so we have not seen definitely since the debate, but not even fully before then there's, i think this has been very successful. i mean, people are fired up you know, we've seen the volunteer numbers go up, the amount of money harris has received between commitments and actual fundraising. 250 million in a day-and-a-half, right. it's kind of an extraordinary route. playing of the family. and i think we just didn't know what was going to happen. i mean,
6:31 pm
it's all happened very quickly. i think people are fired up. it feel successful, it feels like she's ready. i think the party is very unified, which we weren't just a few days ago. and so i think we feel like we're ready to go win this thing and i think people were going to work really hard the energy is clearly palpable when you're listening to these calls, watching harris speak, giving her first campaign speech really at the campaign headquarters tonight. >> but i think there's also a question and a lot has happened in last 24 hours. kevin madden, but is it this easy? is all this i mean, is it as smoother to switch presidential candidates because look kamala harris found this out during her first announcement in 2019 when she was running her best day was the day she announced she has this afterglow right now. >> there's assignments, right? there's a palpable sense of relief. the one thing that the party has been hindered with over the last month is just this lack of enthusiasm for joe biden and all well, that has shifted. i think the question now is, have the atmospherics changed where the fundamentals changed? the fundamentals of
6:32 pm
this race, i think are still pretty sad. we still have a lot of people that are worried about the direction of the country. they're worried about inflation, they're worried about the economy and some of that is still on on the kamala harris campaign. that's going to be something she has to explain. but for the very first 48 hours, enjoy it now, but the real campaign the contrast, the attacks from the trump campaign. it's coming. >> and what does the polling tell us about donald trump, paris match that. we haven't we've seen hypotheticals or last few weeks is democrats were kind of depressed, but, but what does actual polling looks? >> so the unsatisfying answer is asked me again in a week, i had a survey that was in the field the came out of the field like as biden was announcing that he's stepping down ai that well, let's throw that the crash it's will know more in a week or two because once she is no longer a hypothetical, once it is real, the range of outcomes is going to widen right? trump and biden. we had if this insane stuff happened and the results were still kind of trading in this pretty narrow band. trump's ahead by do trump's
6:33 pm
ahead by three, trump's ahead by five, but it wasn't huge movement. >> harris may introduce the opportunity for bigger movement in either direction, which is why democrats are feeling so excited mentioned that she may also change the voters who are available to democrats mean we have states where we will be able to register and turn out voters who otherwise were probably not as enthusiastic who are, who are going to be harder to convince that they should vote, let alone who to vote for. and so we're looking at how those demographics are shifting. and i just also want to say, you know, there is real organic, exciting i was on a call last night that usually it's about 1,000 people, 500 people, 44,000 people got on. we raised 1.5 million in two hours. so that's not that's not the big donors. that's not the party leadership. those are just regular men and women who were excited. there was a group of black men who are doing a call tonight, 20,000 men got
6:34 pm
on. so i think there is genuine excitement and i do think but i will say, i think that's going to shut off black men for the former president because i think men are going to want to have her back because i've been in proving with them. >> and so when you look at that, what are the core groups they're looking at what coalitions are you wondering? can she put together young voters, black voters, brown voters, aapi voters? i would also say women. i mean, look, kevin was talking about are the fundamental shifting. i would argue that the issue landscape hasn't shifted. i think we agree on that, but i think if you live in a state like governor beshear was just talking about where you're worried about a national abortion ban or you're worried about access to abortion or ivf, or contraception that it doesn't change. and she is the person who's delivering on that. if you believe in comprehensive immigration reform, you still saw the republicans walk away. you still, at least from our polling want i humane solution as much as you want order at
6:35 pm
the border that's going to be a continued to be part of what she's talking about so again, i think we're going to see i completely agree with kristen, i think is going to take a couple of weeks for it to rebuild a really absorb this and for things to shake out. >> yeah. well, we can't love vp pick the enemy, does the vice president matter in this situation when it comes to what that ticket looks like, what kind of voters they're bringing in. >> yeah, it does because i think it's going to be the first big leadership act in it's new play with kamala harris, right? i mean, we people need to know more about her. she's going to tell a story, her story, what she's how she's going to be different from joe biden. and i think the first opportunities are going to have his by the pick that she makes her vp look. i think republicans should be a little bit worried right now. i mean, as you pointed out, the polling was sort of static right? we saw a polling today showing harris doing the polls are to be done after the peck happened. were i think we felt good about but they just had a convention. they had their vp pick. we haven't had now are vp pick we haven't had our convention. and if this is a
6:36 pm
close competitive race, the things that are about to happen for us could be potentially hugely on the upside right? to help give us a lyft in what is going to be a very competitive she did kind of give a preview of how she'll attack donald trump. >> i mean, it was kind of prosecutor versus prosecuted, which is what van jones said law last night she laid that out at the campaign headquarters tonight. but as far as a platform, i mean, what does that look like is it is it what we've seen from president biden? does she expand that and change that? what does that look like this late in the race? >> yeah, that's gonna be one of the challenges. i mean, the biggest challenge now is that usually campaigns are built over about a year-and-a-half with a couple of billion dollars. and so now they're trying to build this in the space of three months, 110 days to election day. so the other challenge that you have is that you still have the biden administration record and still have the biden administration agenda, which is still being managed today, and she's gonna have to answer for all of that. so i expect that's what the trump campaign is going to do immediately has tried to put that frame around her the same way they're trying to put it around joe biden.
6:37 pm
>> well, he's also attacking her earlier tonight. i was looking at his truth social. he called her hamas iraq horrible and competent. there is a real question of how he goes up against if it is her as the formal nominee, what that looks like now, in some sense, i feel like we've spent the last 89 years saying like, oh, donald trump's had this horrible thing. this will be the thing that makes him lose right? >> it's not always the case that it is, but i do think that republicans have this image of kamala harris that comes from watching clips of her saying awkward things or hearing and conservative media about how she had been named to be biden's point person for the border. >> republicans. i think overestimate the extent to which they're going to make the rest of america see kamala harris through their own eyes. and it puts them up for risk of really overreaching on something ugly comments. they're not going to found trump has not been able to help himself. we saw it from j.d vance today. it was pretty disgusting the way he went after her grand enough that many people were watching. but as more people tune in and see that, i don't think they're
6:38 pm
going to like that and it will remind and then what they didn't like about trump all along. >> amazing to see how much the race has shifted and what those new attack lines look like all right, thanks everyone. up next we're going to have someone who just spoke with vice president harris as this race is entering a very brand new phase. he actually replaced harris and the senate that interview after a quick break liberty mutual customizes my car insurance and i saved hundreds with all the money i saved. i thought i'd by still being so tall, definitely it has its advantages he go get agree to go. >> yep there it is. it is here we go i guess it also has some disadvantages. yes, it does only pay for what you need they want the effects of viagra, but faster meet roe sparks they contain. >> so dana, phil, and to dallas hill with sparks dissolve under

6:41 pm
you're the leader is disaster clean up and restoration how do you make like it never even happened, happened all right whatever comes your way. there's a pro for them. >> serve, grow like you've never even happened. >> nothing dems my light like a migraine with nortech audot. i found relief only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent all-in-one to those with migraine. >> i see you for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment episodic migraine in adults don't take if allergic to near checo dt, allergic reactions can occur even days after using most common side
6:42 pm
effects are nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain we all talk to a health care provider about nortech, ott from pfizer. >> you've got some winning genes and for a limited time, ancestry dna can show you how your genes stack up against world-class athletes find out which athletic traits you inherited. but hurry the clock is ticking i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon. >> and this is cnn vice president harris starting a whirlwind day on the south lawn as the white house. as she stepped in while biden was still recovering from covid to celebrate champion and cwa athletes and coaches. >> those were her first public remarks since president biden exited the race. yesterday and ignited a very frenetic push inside his party for her, especially to consolidate support for that nomination. sources tell us tonight that she was wearing a howard university hoodie, her alma mater with workout sweats and pair of sneakers yesterday as she made more than 100 phone calls and i'll ten hours with
6:43 pm
her family and her staff there with her, plus having her favorite and anchovy pizza. she'll set a phone call with my next guests. that is the california senator alex padilla, who is known vice president harris for decades starting way back when he served on the la city council, when she was an assistant da in san francisco in the early 2000s. so someone who is well-versed to talk about her instead of i know you spoke with vice president yesterday. what can you tell us just about what she said about how these these 24 hours have been for her sure. >> well, good to be with you, kaitlan and a good job on the homework of how just how far back you go with vice president kamala harris? soon to be democratic nominee, were connected yesterday because there was a couple of phone calls that went back and forth look, i could tell she was excited i could tell she was focused and really putting in the work to pay respect to members of congress on the hill to democratic delegates and
6:44 pm
both elected leaders committed to leaders and labor leaders across the country. and it's not a surprise to me, knowing her as well as i do. but do you see the results of the number of endorsem*nts? the record level of grassroots fundraising that's an indicator of the excitement and momentum in the base, the amount of support that is just coming out of the woodwork, including here some breaking news for you, the california democratic party has officially endorsed our own kamala harris to be the democratic nominee and will formalize it at the convention in chicago. but to your question, how she sounded the phone hey, friend, have we don't have got a lot of work to do and very poke is very committed because we know the stakes of the election this november yeah, i can only imagine everyone else has heads were spinning. >> just imagine how hers was, you know, when you mentioned all the endorsem*nts that she's getting, including from i'm fellow democrats on capitol hill. we've heard from politico last week and a report that in a meeting with
6:45 pm
california democrats, the former house speaker nancy pelosi, stress this need for an open process should biden step down to choose the next nominee. but, but given how quickly your party has aulest around her tonight, are you surprised? that more democrats didn't throw their hat in the ring here look, i'm not surprised for a couple of reasons. >> number one, the strength of vice president harris herself, her record not just as vice president, these last three-and-a-half years of historic, truly historic accomplishments for the biden harris administration but her career service, once upon a time, attorney general of california. well, it's upon a time district attorney in san francisco, once upon a time, a member of the united states senate when she was elevated to the vice presidency after the election four years ago, i was fortunate enough to fill her. chuck taylors because i used to say when i was in my transition. so i think she's earned it. but we also respect the voters through the primary
6:46 pm
season more than 14 million voters voted in democratic primaries for the biden-harris ticket. and that's why you have a running mate? that's why we have a vice president. because if something happens to the top of the ticket or to the president noted states, there's somebody ready to see happen at a moment's notice. history has called and vice president harris's up for it. >> but i'm curious given that this is a whole new level of scrutiny for her, not the chosen faced it and the last two years are when she was running, but i want you to listen to something that the republican congressman from tennessee, tim burchett said about the vice president today biden said first off, he said he's going to hire a black female, vice president and not just skipped over. >> what about what about white females? what about any other group? i hit just when you go down that route you take mediocrity and that's what they have right now is the vice president. >> do you are you suggesting she's d she was a dei hire
6:47 pm
100%. >> she was a dei hire but once she was elected in two, he said he would pick a woman. i don't believe he said anything about race or ethnicity. and of course, you know, she is as qualified as brock obama was when he was elected. but when you see those kind of attacks, i wonder, do you think she is? prepared to handle the kind of attacks like that that are going to come her way so first kaitlan, it's called that what you just played for, what it is. >> that's either a ignorance at best or a dog whistle at worse. and sadly, it is a sign of things to come over the course of the next 106 days of the campaign do i think vice president harris is up for it? yes. and it's because of the sad truth of her having to overcome that kind of or watch my words here throughout her life in becoming attorney general of the state of california, was that easy for a black woman from san francisco?
6:48 pm
but she overcame rhetoric back then. she overcame some prejudice, political prejudice back then. and she electors, she did a hell of a job. she made history in her election to the senate. she made history in her election to the vice presidency as she's overcome back kind of rhetoric, that kind of hate to frankly, and she's continued to excel in every position that she's held, and she's going to be a great president as well. >> senator alex padilla. thank you for your time tonight thank you up. next lawmakers today on both sides of the aisle were grilling the director of the secret service over that assassination in attempt of donald trump's getting very few answers, i should note is now there are growing calls for her resignation, including from the top democrat on that committee, who is going to be my next source meet the jennifer's ten x, y, and z.

6:53 pm
grilling the secret service director about the attempted assassination of donald trump, a growing number of lawmakers tonight are calling on her to resign after two grueling hours. >> after them with almost no new information tonight it has been ten days since an assassination attempt on a former president of the united states regardless of party there need to be answers. they want to answer questions, but i also wanted to be called by one too, but you haven't answered. i don't think you've answered one question. >> you're in charge of the investigation of your own failure. so how is anybody in america is supposed to be able to trust? the results of that investigation is being anything transparent in genuine. >> if you have an assassination attempt on a president, a former president, or a candidate, you need to resign you are a failure at your job. >> this relationship is retrievable at this point, you're full of today, you're
6:54 pm
just being completely dishonest i should note at the top, republican and democrat on that committee are out with a joint letter tonight calling on kimberly cheatle to step down as the head of the secret service, saying that she failed to provide answers to basic questions my source tonight is the democratic leader who signed that rare bar pipe bipartisan letter. >> congress jamie raskin, the ranking member of the house, oversight and accountability committee, and great to have you here if you want her to resign, if she doesn't, do you want president biden to fire her or gee, i don't think it's going to take that i mean, i think she's burned her bridges to congress because she couldn't answer and we're wouldn't answer the most basic questions that are on the minds of all americans. how did this shooter get up on that roof? 150 yards away from the presidential podium why did the secret service are local and state police not respond? when there were very clearly rally
6:55 pm
goers who were pointing and yelling at the guy up on the roof saying, look, what's happening there and she came to our committee and there was bipartisan shock that she could not answer or refuse to answer. the most basic questions. and so by the end of the hearing, everybody said on a bipartisan basis, i'm not sure every member, but everybody who spoke about it said you've got to go, you've got to resign because he more or less confidence in the secret service after after what you witnessed today and the lack of answers, we're in the middle of a presidential election in a very tightly contested presidential election with a lot riding on it, we need absolute protection and security for our presidential candidates for a vice presidential candidates, and we need to know that the secret service on the case, and i got to say my reaction leaving that room today was there was a lot more secret and a lot less service going on and everything is cloaked in. a lot of just
6:56 pm
bureaucratic darkness and mystery. and there wasn't a sense that they needed to serve the people of the country in the congress in terms of giving us answers, it was a very serious episode of when there was an attempted assassination and a mass shooting that took place in butler, pennsylvania on july 3. and we really should have had the opportunity to talk about the larger problem of mass gun violence in america of these mass shootings, it was not even the only mass shooting in america on july 13. there was even a worse one that took place in birmingham, alabama where four people were killed in ten people were wounded. yeah. >> i heard i heard democrats on that committee talking about that today. obviously, it's an important issue as well. congressman, i do want you to stand by, though, because we do have some breaking news that we are getting in as of this moment and that breaking news who says that cnn has determined that vice president kamala harris now has the support of enough delegates to win the democratic nomination
6:57 pm
for president. that magic number is 1,976 delegates and harris has just crossed that but threshold amid a wave of endorsem*nts from state delegations tonight, that is according to cnn's delegate estimate and congressman, obviously this is notable because there was a question of there if there would be an open primary or contested kind of context? somebody been throwing around what's your reaction to this news tonight or great news and yes, of course the republicans were saying all along, the democrats are going to be so divided, they will never arrive at a conclusion. it will be just like their contest for speaker of the house, where the house of representatives shut down for more than a week and there were 15 ballots, nothing like it you have a fantastic candidate in a comma harris. many of us endorsed her within minutes or within an hour of her being announcing her candidacy after president biden made his decision. but look, this has been an electrifying 24 hours in our party joe biden is a
6:58 pm
hero and he's a patriot and he's a great leader. and he still the heart and soul of our party. and now we have kamala harris, who's been a fantastic vice president going out as the career prosecutors, she was to bring the case for democracy and freedom in progress against a convicted felon when and twice impeached former president, who is an adjudicated sexual assailant and somebody who tried to overthrow our constitutional order. so it's a magnificent matchup, which is why you have record donations, record volunteerism record participation in tuberous right now, it's had an electrifying effect on our part, is that kidding? >> look like. with her running against donald trump's someone who has been formidable in the past with, with hillary clinton. obviously he lost to president biden if you as an observer of trump's and you were here in washington when he was in office. what do you think the next four months should look like?
6:59 pm
>> well, first of all, trump lost to hillary in the popular vote. he did eke out an electoral college victory. >> and then joe biden i beat him by more than 7 million votes in 2020, and they underperformed in 2022, it was a disaster for them in 2018. i mean, donald trump is a losing political candidate they got nothing going on. and now he's chosen j.d. vance, who's just like a maga mini-me for donald trump. they had the opportunity to try to expand our coalition, perhaps to go after us and uk americans with marco rubio's a pick, they decided not to do that there were harris should choose. >> well, you know i know that there's a methodical process going on. we've got nothing but an amazing bench of democratic political leaders across the country to like what are some great governors in some swing states like gretchen whitmer, who i think is amazing like josh shapiro, who would be
7:00 pm
a very formidable candidate mark kelly from arizona, hits another swing states. so i think that's a kind of first tier, but there are great candidates all over the country who could bring different kinds of chemistry to the ticket and that he's spoken to biden or harris since yesterday? not since yesterday. now, i have not i've sent messages of support and enthusiasm and encouragement and i'm so proud of both of them. i mean, joe biden, his model would real leadership is about real leadership make space for other leaders and now, you know the republicans have been talking about age and infirmity in derangement for three years and now all the burden of that stuff is on them and people are looking at donald trump at this point, congressman raskin, thank you for joining us on one set of news from today, but also the breaking news tonight. appreciate your time back. kaitlan and thank you all so much for joining us on this very busy hour in washington, cnn newsnight with abby phillip starts now
