have they done that a little bit here with kamala harris? i mean, putting her in charge of the border stuff is not going to enamor her to a whole lot of people. >> joe biden has no interest in seeing her fail. that doesn't really make sense. i have felt that the media has played a disproportionate amount of attention to the mistakes that she makes than they have to vice presidents in the past. >> the silliness about what she was saying in france? >> the truth is i can't remember ever talking about vice presidents as much as we talk about her. but it really is -- there is an overfocus on her that i do think is a result of gender and race. and i think that that's what that's about. so i think she's getting, in that sense, an unfair shake. one of the things what you were just talking about i think about where she's sort of standing behind him instead of next to him, i wonder if that's not because he feels like there is this story line about him that he's this doddering old fool that can't do anything and she's just there to help him figure out

is that kamala harris, is it pete buttigieg? is it joe biden? i can tell you one thing, in 2020 part of the reason joe biden ran for president, he looked at the field and decided i'm in the best position to win this. we don't know. i know it sounds like the political clock is ticking and it is still early days. the biden/obama relationship started in rocky moments, too, and became one of the strongest vice president/president relationships we've seen. stay tuned. >> evan and ba khaki, appreciate you joining me, thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> mitch mcconnell planned to disinvite donald trump from the biden inauguration. >> president biden and chinese president xi jinping have the opportunity to reset their relationship perhaps in a virtual summit today as tensions prize between the world's two largest economies. what's strong with me? what's strong with me? with me! with me! what's strong with me? with me! with me. the tempur-pedic breeze° makes sleep...feel cool. because the tempur-breeze° transfers heat away from your body... ...so you feel c

kamala harris needs to be front and center. she and buttigieg are the best candidates this party has. i want to see her travel the country, i want to see those things. again, irv to say that i have to defend her because it's the same people writing these articles who stated that she was so ambitious and wanted to be president, and she's done nothing but be a great team player for the president of the united states. i get that there are criticisms. it is what it is and she'll get past this as well. >> don't shoot the messenger, that's what people have been telling these reporters -- >> i'm not shooting the me messenger, but i am going to defend the vice president of the united states. >> you don't just release a story and say, okay, we're going to -- that is not how it works. i understand what you're trying to insinuate here and i can tell you that's not how it works. mia, you heard the vice president lay out his case there. do you think they should be out here more? >> it's easy to be a great leader when things are going well.

growing tension between vice president kamala harris and the white house. she's not being set up to be a future president, she's being set up to fail. but west wing staffers say frustrated by what they call to be frustrated mistakes on her part. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. have you spoken with the vice president recently? has any of this come up? have you picked up on any of this tension that we're hearing about? >> congressman, we're not hearing you. maybe you might have to hit the unmute button. >> do you hear me now? >> i can hear you now, yes, sir. >> thank you. >> i was reading about this, but i'm not aware of anything of that sort. i was at the vice president's residence not very long ago. i didn't detect anything, any kind of tension. i've been in and out of the white house. and every time i've been there, i was in the company of the vice president. i didn't notice anything untoward. i'm not sure that a lot of this is not emanating from -- you know, there's always tension amongst staff, and there's always speculations about who may be

sources tell cnn vice president kamala harris feels increasingly sidelined and handicapped in her own presidential aspirations. cnn has compiled accounts from nearly three dozen current and former harris aides, administration officials, democratic operatives, donors, and outside advisers, and they describe a white house divided on one side members of harris' inner circle who believe she's been setting to fail instead of being in position to be a future president. excuse me. but on the other side, west wing staffers are exasperated by what they perceive as harris' blunders including fumbled answers on israel and the border crisis. one of the journalists behind all this reporting, cnn senior reporter isaac dovar. isaac, what's behind this? >> we have a situation where the vice president could either be running for president herself in a couple of months, really, if joe biden doesn't run for re-election, or would be the most important validator for him running for re-election at 82 years old. he, of course, has said he's running for reevection. there are people who care sincerely about h

i'm still a believer in kamala harris and i am still a believer in pete buttigieg. but even more importantly, tonight -- i mean, we -- we -- you ran down a few races tonight. justin bibb is the newly elected mayor of cleveland, ohio. ed gainy is the first black mayor of pittsburgh, pennsylvania. first black mayor of lima, ohio. you had ken welch who is the first black mayor. i had to throw that out there. >> laura, my question is, um, the frustration from democrats, as he said, they elected joe biden. they didn't elect manchin or sinema or what have you. but also, democrats -- i hear it all the time -- joe biden needs to realize that this kumbaya -- they say the word s -- is not going to work. they don't want to work with you republicans, they are not going to work with you and there are people in your party who don't want to work with you. stop with the kumbaya, be stronger, get your agenda passed. make people face consequences for not helping you with your agenda. >> it is a little harder when the president approval rating is as low as it is. that being said, ther

an effective contrast to the democrats and the policies that are being put forward by joe biden and kamala harris. but to do that, we have to be truthful, we have to stop looking backwards. we have to stop grievance politics and vendetta politics and what we have to do is talk about the concerns of the american people. and when the republican party did that two weeks ago in virginia, glenn youngkin was elected governor. and came very close to electing another republican governor in my home state, but even in my home state we won seats in the legislature in both houses by talking about a forward looking agenda, not a backward looking one. >> okay. and by the way, right to note the different approaches that those republican candidates took in virginia and new jersey. but the national party is very different. as you know, two-thirds of house members, the day, the night of the insurrection still voted to decertify the election. it has become a new litmus test for gop candidates, particularly in the house, to continue that election lie. i get the point of your book here, to your credit, saying

biden had a colonoscopy yesterday, temporarily transferring power to kamala harris for 80 minutes. it came to light recently in the tell-all book in which she writes that trump kept it private because he didn't want mike pence to be in power saidated and did not want to be the butt of a joke. here's a skit on "saturday night live" with multiple bidens at different ages. >> how can you be me, you seem so happy, carefree. what's the word i'm looking for? >> lucid. >> yeah. >> kidding aside, the white house must be hoping, the new physical results halt and reverse a trend reversed by the morning poll. it's an elite concern around the issue of the president's physical and mental capacities. only 40% of voters surveyed agreed with the statement that biden is in good health. while 50% disagree. that represents a massive 29-point swing since that question was asked in october 2020 when voters believe that biden was in good health, 53/34%. when asked if mentally fit for the job, 46% say yes, 48%, say no. and perhaps the most concerning to the administration results among independents. we'd

harris said she looks at this and says kamala harris is honored to be vice president. she's proud to do the work she's doing, but for these people like kounalakis feel she could be doing more, looking what the white house and president assigned her to do and think she's able to do more than she's being given and that is where the frustration's coming from. on the other hand you have donna brazile, another long time friend or supporter of kamala harris, democratic operative for many years who said to me that she looks at this and says you need to have consistent clear and concise message coming out of the vice president. she months more of that being done. the vice president to be out more, she said leave air force two gassed up all the time, let her out, is the way she summed it up to me. that say feeling about what's going on, not only in how the vice president's being treated by the assignment out of the white house but also how things are running within her own shop. >> can i ask a question here? is this looking forward as soon as 2024? is that some of the messaging

the white house says the president will transfer power to vice president kamala harris for a brief period of time when he's under anesthesia to get a colonoscopy. cnn's john harwood is live at the white house with this breaking news for us. john, what are you hearing right now? >> reporter: first of all, kate, it's worth noting the bit of history being made today. of course this is the first time we've had a woman vice president, and as a consequence of that, when the president takes this routine step for presidents when they undergo anes anesthesia, she's going to be the first woman in american history to exercise or have the potential to exercise presidential power. don't know how much she'll be able to do working out of her west wing office, but that is something worth stopping and taking notice of. this is something that is routine under the 25th amendment. that is the same 25th amendment that got talked about from time to time under president trump about whether his cabinet might move to somehow take power from him. of course that didn't happen. but presidents have under the 25th ame

vice president kamala harris said as much on the campaign trail a few days ago, what happens if virginia in large part determines what happens in 2022, 2024, so on. so the fact voters went out and rejected the democratic candidate has to be worrying to party leadership. that does tie back in, i think, to joe biden. this is really consistent with broader electoral frustration with democrats. as you say, in washington over lack of ability to get the infrastructure bill done, declining approval for biden and so on. so last night could prove a road map for republicans thousand duplicate that success in 2022. >> what you're saying in many ways, that this is almost like a national referendum on president biden and democrats waking up this morning, thomas, might be waking up to quite a headache. hai do they solve this? where do they move the needle if we're talking about the midterms here? >> that's a great question, isa. the real question is what lesson will democrats draw going into the midterms. i can already hear some on the left saying the reason democrats are on the ropes, they aren't pus

and i just don't feel like he's very visible and where is kamala harris? you know, they are sort of hungry for leadership that they feel like they're not getting and i think all this stuff that's going on in washington where people don't have a real sense of what -- >> you should have had me -- i ever been saying the same thing on this show forever. you should have had me in your focus group because i could have told you that's the sentiment out there. where is joe biden? why is he holding events at 2 d o'clock in the afternoon? why are the democrats not behind the president? all that, i hear that every single day from people and, you know, it is obviously it is being reflected in the people you are talking to and i think that -- you can correct me if i am wrong -- i don't think -- i don't think that democrats in washington were aware of it. they were too close to the, you know, forest for the trees, right? and now, with this election and what is happening i guess nationally with the polling and what have you, finally, they are coming around to realizing t

administration as a promising sign in the beginning and specifically pointing out howard alum, vice president kamala harris, saying she's representing access we haven't seen before. do you believe at this point that hbcus are a priority for the administration as the president had promised? >> i don't see the evidence of that. however, i do see students across the country, not just at howard, but in clark, moorehouse saying you need to make sure that we are a priority, because we are representative of your constituents. and the -- we represent a body of people, a community that has been historically disenfranchised. howard is in a very large part federally fund. if it's not evidence enough we suffer second-class living conditions in our dorms, if that's not evidence enough for the need for more funding for us, $3 billion is pocket change compared to what was originally on the table, is just -- >> we have to leave it there, unfortunately. channing, i hope we can stay in touch because this is an issue that unfortunately you know all too well isn't going away. we'd like to stay on it as well. thanks for

and every minute that we spend talking about 2020, while we're wasting time doing that, joe biden, kamala harris, nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer are laying ruin to this country. we better focus on that and take our eyes off the rearview mirror and start looking through the windshield again. >> reporter: so that got a fairly mixed response from the room, but clearly governor christi feels that's an important message for the party to hear, and he told me later candidates runnings in the midterms next year should not be afraid of donald trump. they should just be themselves on the campaign trail. of course the trick to all of that is actually seeing the way that donald trump tries to get involved in these races. we'll have to wait and see pow that rolls out. back to you. >> thank you for that report. >>> joining us is cnn political analyst alex burns. he's also a national political correspondent for "the "new york times." good morning. always great to see you bright and early. >> good morning. >> chris christie saying tuesday marks a new era and that republicans should look through the wind

>> obviously, he's the sitting president, and you're going to have him come in, kamala harris, you'll have surrogates come in. but more of a strategic mistake that the mcauliffe campaign made was not so much -- the biggest factor was making this all about donald trump and trying to tie youngkin up with donald trump. but he alienated a key voting bloc for any candidate -- parents. >> he made one of the largest and probably most consequential gaffes on the campaign trail that you'll see. i think the combination of everything is why he lost. but the gaffe of saying that parents don't belong in -- and i'm paraphrasing, he would know it better than anybody, but parents shouldn't have a say in the education of their children, that's one of the more consequential gaffes. >> isn't that something you can clean up? >> but he didn't do that, he doubled down on that and took several days that the polls tested really badly before he changed his mind. but that's what he was thinking, he just made the mistake of saying it out loud. parents realized that, they were pissed and they voted for youngkin.

. >> every minute that we spend talking about 2020, while we're wasting time doing that, joe biden, kamala harris, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are laying ruin to this country. we better focus on that and take our eyes off the rear-view mirror and start looking through the windshield again. >> reporter: he's talking, of course, about former president donald trump. >> i may even decide to beat them for a third time, okay? >> reporter: the proverbial elephant in every republican room whose conspiracy theories, grievances and score settling are a driving force in a party still firmly in his command. a year after losing the white house and control of congress, republicans are at a critical crossroads as they capitalize on democratic divisions in hopes of reclaiming their majority. >> is president trump part of that discussion? of course he is. those voices who want to silence

let's listen now to vice president kamala harris. >> please welcome heather kurtenbach. >> in a moment. please have a seat. president joe biden, speaker nancy pelosi, majority leader chuck schumer, cabinet members, congress members, governors and mayors. and my fellow americans. this is an historic day. in the middle of the civil war, president abraham lincoln started construction on the transcontinental railroad in the middle of the great depression, president franklin roosevelt finished construction on the hoover dam. president dwight eisenhower signed the national interstate and defense highways act in the middle of the cold war. and today -- and today president joe biden will sign the infrastructure investment and jobs act into law. indeed it is an historic day today. from the very start of our administration, we were determined to follow through. not just on our promise to invest in our nation's infrastructure but on the promises that the american people have heard for years now. and we would not be here today were it not for your leadership, mr. president, from the very start you

i don't see kamala harris. and i think there's something about donald trump was in all caps in your face, all the time and joe biden is, i think he thought people wanted something more sedate than that but maybe took it a step too far. >> tia, some of the stuff is not a coms problem. there are -- there is inflation. there are high gas prices. you can't really explain your way out of that. but some of the stuff is a problem. most americans had no idea, and i think i saw you do a tweet on this, about how many kids were lifted out of poverty by the child tax credit that was part of the stimulus bill earlier this year. the biden white house is very proud that schools are open. you can get into the mask debates or critical race theory at another time but the fact that a year ago, a lot of parents, myself included, were frustrated the schools were closed. >> the biden administration has a lot on its table. it's trying to do. and as a result, they can't do everything, they can't accomplish everything and they're havin

joe biden, president biden has assured us the 50 votes will be there. 50 plus one, kamala harris, the vice president, and that's all. in other words, they are not expressing anger with manchin and sinema and basically saying, biden, you promised us this and we expect you to deliver. which is i guess why. >> i can tell you the white house today is not worried about what joe manchin said. they don't think that he said anything different than he's been saying all along. and, look, the good thing for reporters is that joe manchin when he hasn't been in front of the camera for a couple of days, he's willing to go back out there. but let's not pretend he's saying anything new. he was always around the same amount of money. always had inflationary concerns. always wanted to make sure it's been paid for. that's where we are and that's what this framework does. the thing that's changed is something that he has been for all along, which is a -- pushing back on prescription drug prices which might be a little extra push for progressives, if you can cap out-of-pocket copays and things like that.

in paris vice president kamala harris marked the day alongside the french president emmanuel macron. today the white house announced better health care services for veterans who have been exposed to environmental hazards by burn pits during their service. the secretary for veterans affairs joins me now to talk about the last element. mr. secretary, thank you for being with me. i want to start with the burn pits and this new announcement. for those who don't know what a burn pit is they are open pits used in afghanistan and iraq to burn almost everything. human waste, chemical waste, and the vapors, exposure to them, many believe caused everything from asthma to cancer in those servicemen. what are the new supports being offered in this announcement today? >> thanks so much for having me and happy veterans day to you and all of your viewers. look, this has been a priority for president biden since the day he got in office. so he's already made clear that we will presume anybody with asthma, sinusitis who served in the golf the last 30 years we'll assume it is connected to their servic

joe biden and kamala harris right now are putting forward their agenda and trying to get it through. which they have every right to do because they won the election. if we want to be an appropriate counterweight to that, we can't be talking about what you and i are talking about right now. >> you guys need a healthcare policy. you need actual policies other than the -- whatever donald trump wakes up wanting to do that day. >> well, and that's why the last-third of the book, as you know, is about issues like education, crime, taxes. and all the things that we should be concerned about. north korea and iran, russia and china. and those are the things we should be talking about and presenting a choice to the american people. >> i would love, on a nightly basis, to get back to talking about issues that they are being debated by rational people, as opposed to this craziness which is not helping the country. >> and i am really glad to hear that and that's why i wrote the book because someone has to start that conversation on our side of the aisle. someone has to do that and i thought the b

every minute we spend talking about 2020, while we're wasting time doing that, joe biden, kamala harris, nancy pelosi, and chuck schumer are laying ruin to the country. we'd better take our eyes off that and start looking through the windshield again. >> there seems to be one prominent republican who wants to talk about it, and that's the former president donald trump. do you think the rest of the republican party agree with chris christie? >> they're in agreement with chris christie but they're also in agreement with donald trump. they want to hold onto the magic of whatever it is that donald trump did, the magic that also produced january 6th to a certain extent. at the end of the day, they were looking at, look what happened to virginia, how they were able to edge out and have a win. they're trying to play on yesterday as well as the promises of tomorrow and keep the misinformation, the unchecked facts going to create wins an bring back the white house to their party by any means necessary. >> david, republicans often feeling good about their wins in virginia. they made gains, even t

vice president kamala harris, who is the point person for voting rights for the biden administration has said privately that the filibuster has to be scaled back, if you are going to be able to get voting rights through the senate. you obviously are a big-deciding vote on that. are you ready to do it? are you ready to put it aside, if that's what it takes to get voting rights through, senator? >> well first of all, i think what stacey said is absolutely correct we need to make sure fa we are going to have a democracy, we have everybody who can vote have the opportunity to vote and there shouldn't be disdrim nation along the way. this is a very, very, very important piece of legislation. look. the filibuster has been weaponized, erin, and i think there is ways we can go back to the good, old days with the filibuster that will take a lot of the ability to weaponize the filibuster out. and that's why i say we should take a look at to move forward. but make no mistake about it. voting rights is fundamental to our gdemocracy and it's one of the most important things we do for our country

ignored questions from reporters asking about those possible mitigation measures, but vice president kamala harris said that they are simply taking things one step at a time. >> i have been briefed. and as the president has said, we're going to take every precaution, and so that's why we've taken the measures we have. >> do you think there'll be any additional travel restrictions? >> we'll take it one step at a time, but as of now, we've done what we believe is necessary. >> reporter: now, biden health officials are in contact with health officials worldwide, as they are right to get a grasp about this new variant. officials have said that imposing those new travel restrictions that are set to take place on monday will simply buy the administration more time to understand what this variant can do. such as whether it can potentially have severe illness that goes along with it, or even possibly evade vaccines. but one thing the administration continues to push is vaccinations and booster shots, arguing that that is the way for americans to protect themselves. now, secretary of state tony blin

vice president kamala harris is heading to france this week hoping to mend america's strained relationship with its oldest ally. harris will meet with emmanuel macron on wednesday. they temporarily recalled their ambassador. that deal ended france's agreement to build diesel powered submarine for australia. >>> it's crunch time for critical climate talks in glasgow as the cop26 summit enters the final week. former u.s. president barack obama will be delivering remarks in the coming hours. he's expected to focus on the progress since the 2015 paris agreement which the u.s. signed on to under the obama administration. cnn's phil black joins us now live from glasgow. good to see you, phil. so a day of solutions ahead and former u.s. president barack obama will be speaking. what all can we expect to come out of this day and of course this final week. >> reporter: rosemary, barack obama's appearance here is a reminder what they all signed up to when they clapped and cheered the paris agreement in 2015 which is limiting global temperature warming to an average 1.5 degrees. this is a reminder how

. >>> vice president kamala harris joining president biden today in acknowledging the impact inflation is having on americans calling rising prices a big deal an a source of stress for families. cnn's phil mattingly is at the white house for us and president biden set to meet with his cabinet in an hour or so to discuss implementing his passed bipartisan bill the one he will signen monday. the administration has argued that bill with the broader economic package will slow rapid price increases. how does the president approach the tenuous moment? >> ana, i think we're going to hear from the president in a short while, as kind of a framing of two things. one understanding, and two action. understanding because as you noted from vice president xkamaa harris there's a recognition inside the white house the price increase hitting 30-year highs are real and bite and have an impact on everyday americans. the administration has moved quickly over the last few days to acknowledge that publicly, not talk about them as a temporary issue or something driven only by a post-pandemic committee that w
