WALSH AND UKRAINIAN-HELD KURSK REGION, RUSSIA. AND THIS IS CNN OFFENDED THAT NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM. FINE. TOLL ELECT JOHN KERRY. I ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION TO RUN AND SERVE WITH BARACK OBAMA. GREAT HONOR AND PLEASURE. I ACCEPT WE OWE TO THE FINISH LINE. I ACCEPT THIS NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT 44 YEARS OF JOE BIDEN THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION'S WELCOME BACK TO STATE OF THE UNION AND TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO SEE A NEW PHASE AS BIDEN PASSES THE TORCH TO HIS VICE PRESIDENT, KAMALA HARRIS, MY PANEL IS HERE, DAVID, WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING FROM JOE BIDEN WHEN HE SPEAKS TOMORROW NIGHT? WELL, I THINK HE'S HE'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HE'S DONE BUT HOPEFULLY HE'LL TALK ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS IN THE FUTURE THIS IS AN AWKWARD PIVOT, RIGHT? BECAUSE HE'S GETTING OFF THE STAGE. IT WAS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT HE PLENTY PLANT WILL BE SPEAKING THURSDAY NIGHT BUT THE SERVICE HE CAN PERFORM TO HER IS TALK ABOUT HER IN THE FUTURE AS MUCH AS HE TALKS ABOUT HIMSELF AND LET OTHERS TALK ABOUT HIM. AND WE'LL SEE AND WE SHOULD NOTE THERE IS SOME NEW POLLING SUGGESTING ALSO VERY POSITIVE FOR KAMALA HARRIS I'M GOING TO COME TO YOU ON THE POLLING THERE'S THE ABC NEWS, WASHINGTON POST POLL THAT HAD HER AT 49% OVER TRUMP, 45% NATIONALLY AMONG REGISTERED VOTERS. THAT'S OUTSIDE THE MARGIN OF ERROR, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME SHE'S PULLED AHEAD OF HIM OUTSIDE THE MARGIN OF ERROR AND THEN A NEW POLL FROM CBS, HARRIS 51%, TRUMP 48% AMONG REGISTERED VOTERS NATIONALLY. AGAIN, NATIONAL POLLS DON'T MATTER AS MUCH AS THE STATE-BY-STATE, BUT STILL IT IS INDICATIVE OF SOMETHING WHAT WOULD YOU USING IN THE POLLS? >> SO WHAT I THINK IT'S INDICATIVE OF IS A LOT OF VOTERS WHO HAD SAT ON THE SIDELINES IN A TRUMP VERSUS BIDEN REMATCH, DECIDING THAT THEY WANT TO PUT THERE THEIR NAMED DOWN FOR VOTING FOR HARRIS FOR THE MOMENT. BUT I WOULDN'T SAY THESE ARE FULLY COMMITTED, FOLKS IF YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF THESE POLLS AND YOU COMPARE JULY TO AUGUST, DONALD TRUMP'S SHARE OF THE VOTE HASN'T ACTUALLY SHRUNK BY THAT MUCH. AND IN SOME CASES IT'S STAYED THE SAME OR GONE UP. IT IS HARRIS'S NUMBERS THAT LOOK VERY DIFFERENT FROM BIDEN'S SHE'S TAKING AWAY FROM RFK JUNIOR'S. SHE'S BRINGING IN SOME MORE OF THOSE UNDECIDEDS SO THE QUESTION WILL BE WITH THIS CONVENTION, DID SHE DELIVER A MESSAGE THAT CAN SECURE THOSE VOTERS TO HER? WHAT KIND OF STORY DOES SHE TELL TO THE AMERICANS WHO DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT HER? THEY KNOW THEY DON'T LIKE THE POLICIES THEY'VE SEEN UNDER ' FEEL LIKE THE COUNTRIES ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND THEY WANT TO KNOW, IS SHE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A TURNING OF THE PAGE IN SOME WAY, BUT CAN SHE DO THAT? I MEAN, THAT'S IT'S TRUE THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW A LOT OF BENATAR. AND I REMEMBER IN 2008, THIS IS NOT MEANT AS A CRITICISM OF EITHER OBAMA OR HARRIS BUT THERE WAS A DEGREE TO WHICH PEOPLE JUST PROJECTED THEIR HOPES AND THEIR THOUGHTS ON TO HIM. >> AND NOW HER THAT MAY OR MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE ACCURATE IT MIGHT NOT BE ACCURATE, BUT IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO BE AS A CANDIDATE WHERE YOU HAVE THE ELECTORATE WHO IS, WHO WANTS TO BE A PART OF WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING, WHO WANTS TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES OR THE CANDIDATE ITSELF. >> AND SO I THINK JOE BIDEN SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE SUCCESS OF HIS PRESIDENCY, BUT NOT JUST TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE, BUT WHY HE PICKED HER TO BE HIS NUMBER TWO, HE CAN START TO CURTAIN JULY'S HER AS A LEADER AS A TYPE OF PERSON. HE SEEN HER BEFORE WITH HIS RELATIONSHIPS SHE HAD WITH HIS SON, BEAU, SO HUMANIZED HER, BUT THEN TOALK ABOUT HER HER INTEGRITY PRETTY HER ABILITY TO MAKE CALCULATED DECISIONS, WHAT TYPE OF PARTNERSHIP THEY HAD TO LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT TO BE INTRODUCED THE INTRODUCE THE COUNTRY TO KAMALA HARRIS. I'LL JUST ALSO SAY A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT A LOT OF VICE PRESIDENT'S. AND SO IT'NOT A IT'S NOT A DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE SHE HASN'T BEEN A GOOD VICE PRESIDENT. THIS IS JUST THE NATURE OF THE ROLE. >> KNOW, I JUST MEAN LIKE FOR A NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT. SURE. SURE. YEAH. YEAH. >> BECAUSE USUALLY THERE'S A PROCESS. >> YES. >> IT'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REPUBLICANS TO DEFINE HER, GIVEN THE FACT THAT THERE'S SO LITTLE IS KNOWN. >> SO SHE'S HAD BY FAR THE BEST RUN FOR THE PAST PAST MONTH, UNSCATHED. SHE HASN'T US CONFERENCE 28 DAYS. SHE HAS A POLITICAL RORSCHACH TEST, SO PEOPLE ARE PROJECTING THEIR HOPES, THEIR DREAMS, EVERYTHING ON TO KAMALA HARRIS WOULD ACCESS IS TRUE. IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A TOUGH POSITION HERE ON MONDAY WHEN JOE BIDEN, WHO'S A PART OF THIS ADMINISTRATION, HE WAS RUNNING THIS ADMINISTRATION IS THE BIDEN-HARRIS CAMPAIGN THE VICE PRESIDENT TRIED TO PROJECT YOURSELF AS AN OUTSIDER, RIGHT? DOE ESN'T REALLY WANT TO BE TIED TO THE FORMER, THE CURRENT PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BE HERE BECAUSE HE'S NOT THAT POPULAR MEMBER. THAT'S WHY HE'S NOT ON THIS TICKET. THAT'S WHY HE'S NOT HERE SPEAKING ON THURSDAY BECAUSE HE WAS SO UNPOPULAR KICKED THEM OFF AND PUT HER ON SO FOR HER TO DISTANCE HERSELF FROM THE GUY WHO PUT HER HERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF POLITICAL JIU-JITSU, RIGHT? AND SO I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. AND THEN ONCE YOU START ANSWERING QUESTIONS, SHE'S HAD THIS INCREDIBLE MONTH AND SHE'S STILL TIED WITH DONALD TRUMP RIGHT NOW. AND THAT ABC POLL HE STILL AHEAD ON THE ECONOMY, ON IMMIGRATION, ON INFLATION. HE STILL AHEAD IT WAS FACTOR. SO ANYBODY WHO THINKS THIS IS A RUNAWAY RACE, YEAH, THERE WERE 11 ISSUES AND SHE WAS LEADING SIX, I THINK THE THING THAT WAS POLL WAS ON THE SORT OF PERSONAL RATINGS AND FAVORABLE FAVORABILITIES OF THEM AS HUMAN BEINGS, TRUMP WAS 22 POINTS UNDERWATER AND SHE WAS IN PLUS TERRITORY. AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY BIG. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO TOLERATE DONALD TRUMP EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T PARTICULARLY LIKE HIM, BECAUSE THEY HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT JOE BIDEN IF SHE MAKES HERSELF ACCEPTABLE, THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE TO HER AND THIS CONVENTION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT. IT IS ALWAYS TRUE WHEN YOU HAVE A CANDIDATE WHO IS NOT THE INCUMBENT, THAT THESE CONVENTIONS ARE A LOT ABOUT TELLING PEOPLE WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEIR VALUES ARE. BILL CLINTON, THE MAN FROM HOPE THE OBAMA CONVENTION WAS LIGHT THAT THAT'S THE WAY EVEN LAST TIME JOE BIDEN THAT CONVENTION WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO JOE BIDEN ROOTING HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY AND MIDDLE AMERICA HAS VALUES IS ATTACHMENT OF FAITH TO THE MILITARY AND SO ON SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR, AND HOW DIFFERENT WILL THIS CONVENTION BE THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN? BEEN A BIDEN CONVENTION TO THAT POINT DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD A GREAT LINE. THE PRESS COPS OF BEDMINSTER, HE SAID, NO COMMA HARRIS KEEPS SAYING SHE'S GONNA BE READY ON DAY ONE TO TAKE ON THESE PROBLEMS. HER DAY ONE WAS THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS AGO, RIGHT? WHY NOT TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT? >> GREATLY IN THAT ABC WASHINGTON POST POLL, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THEY ASKED WAS, DO YOU THINK KAMALA HARRIS HAS HAD A LOT OF INFLUENCE OVER BIDEN'S ECONOMIC POLICY THESE IMMIGRATION POLICIES, ONLY A THIRD OF VOTERS SAID THEY THOUGHT SHE HAD THAT DOES MEAN IT'S A BIT OF A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER, NOT EXTEND HIS BIO SAY SHE WAS I DON'T I DON'T I DON'T HEAR TRUMP TALKING ABOUT THE PENCE YEARS EXACTLY. >> HE CAN BUT HE'S YEAH. WHY DON'T WE ASK WHY I DON'T THINK I WILL SAY WHEN YOU LOOK BACK IN THIS ARENA, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KAMALA HARRIS CAN DO, LIKE NO ONE ELSE IS, SAY, THIS IS WHAT AMERICA LOOKS LIKE. AND YOU CAN BE A PART. THIS IS LIKE WE WANT YOU, WE WANT TO BUILD THIS BIG TENT PARTY, WANT TO BUILD THIS BIG TENT COALITION. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU COME FROM MID THE MIDWEST ARE THE COAST, YOU CAN BE PART OF THIS AND THAT I'LL SPEAK TO INDEPENDENTS VOTERS ON THAT ISSUE. >> JAMIE GANGEL IS REPORTING THAT ON THURSDAY NIGHT, REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER, FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER, WHO'S FROM CHICAGO IS GOING TO SPEAK AND ENDORSE KAMALAHARRIS HE I DON'T THINK THAT HE AGREES WITH KAMALA HARRIS ON VERY MUCH BUT HE IS ONE OF THE REPUBLICANS LIKE LIZ CHENEY AND OTHERS WHO SEES TRUMP IS SUCH AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES. DOES THAT KIND OF ENDORSEMEE NT HAVAN IMPACT? >> WELL, YOU PUT THAT UP AGAINST SAVED DOUG DUCEY OF ARIZONA THIS WEEK. HE'S SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN KIND OF MAYBE NOT CRITICAL, MAYBE NOT THE RIGHT WORD, BUT THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A SURPRISE TO PEOPLE TO SEIZE DEAD DUCEY SAY I'M ENDORSING KARI LAKE AND DONALD TRUMP'S. SO RIGHT NOW, THERE IS REALLY A DIVIDE WHERE FOR AMONG THOSE REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OF DONALD TRUMP, TO WHAT EXTENT IS KAMALA HARRIS SORT OF FORCE YOU TO SAY YOU'RE IN OR YOU'RE OUT. THIS IS A MOMENT OF CLEAR DIVISION AND CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO CANDIDATES. AND SO WHILE YOU DO HAVE THE ADAM KINZINGER'S WHO ARE LEAVING, YOU, DO HAVE ALSO THE FOLKS LIKE SAY THAT DUCEY WHO SAY, I HAVEN'T LIKE TRUMP IN THE PAST, FOR BUT I SHOULD NOTE AS WELL, THE QUESTION IS, DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? HAD SENATOR BURR WHO VOTED FOR IMPEACHMENT SAYING, YEAH, WELL, I'M GOING TO BE FOR HIM EVEN THOUGH I THOUGHT HE WAS GUILTY OF HIGH CRIMES OR MISDEMEANORS, I DON'T KNOW IF THE END OF THE DAY THAT THAT I
