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.

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

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

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

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

but who is occurred with, kamala harris becoming the first woman to ever have just on a temporary basis full presidential powers. after an hour and 25 minutes he went back and called his chief of staff. and we have a summary of the six pages that made it clear that the president is fit to be in office, fit to be president of the united states, and for the most part staying in the same baseline that he had in the 2019 physical. of course, this physical, related to the 78-year-old, the current age of the president, that's going to change on saturday when he turns 79. >>> u.s. secretary of state antony blinken has warn ed ethiopia is on a path of destruction. blinken is on the last stop of his trip to africa. he called on the ethiopian prime minister abiy ahmed to bring the two sides together. stephanie, what else did he tell you? >> reporter: well, kim, secretary blinken was very clear, very clear to emphasize the need for the violence to end in ethiopia so as not to destabilize this region. and he was very clear about bringing all of the sides together to talk about the cease fire. take

to seek re-election and then there's real jockeying for position reportedly between vice president kamala harris and transportation secretary pete buttigieg so a lot can happen. buttigieg was asked about this earlier today, and this is what he said. >> she and i are part of a team that is disciplined and doesn't focus on what's obsessing the commentators. we're too busy with a job to do. she was the leader in this administration, with her leadership role and i in the present and everybody else in the cabinet and across the administration are laser focused on getting the job done. >> all right. so he underscores there is a team and there is no jockeying for position, you know, with 2024 in mind is this a problem for the white house that this kind of discussion or response has to be had? >> i mean, look, they don't want joe biden to look like a lame duck president so naturally they want to shut this sort of tuck down and that's why you saw buttigieg sort of dodge there, but the reality is, look, president biden just turned 79. there's a lot of questions among democrats about whether he'll h

they tweeted, while americans are struggling to pay more than ever for the holidays, kamala harris is out buying a $375 pot. i mean, does anybody remember that the previous president had an apartment that looked like something out of an austin powers movie? i'm just trying to get a handle on this one. >> or more to the point, was charging the u.s. taxpayers $650 at night to have secret service when he went to mar-a-lago. this is one step below obama wearing a tan suit scandal. frankly, at a time when we are dealing with an ongoing pandemic for the rnc to be fixating on this nonsense, it's predictable, but that doesn't make it any less pathetic. >> look, there are certain rhetorical and political tropes in politics that repeat themselves. there is a version of this that happened in the obama administration, in the clinton administration. it's part of the limousine liberal riff, oh, these democrats who, you know, are really supposed to be for the working people, who is sip their lattes in their limousines. it is connected to that trope. and these things repeat themselves throughout hist

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.

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 this country. we'd better focus on that and take our eyes through rear view mirror and start looking through wind shield again. >> he defended himself as a trump supporter but backed away from trump's endless kroeg of the big lie. what do you think about that? >> well, i think that kriss kriss is correct. in republicans need to focus on the future and make the mid-term about the party in power. the problem is how destructive will donald trump be in the coming primaries? he is the one talking about the past and he still has a mega phone. notwithstanding that he's been kicked off social media. but christie is absolutely right. this election the other day, it was not about donald trump. it was about joe biden and the democrats. i think it will be the same unless it is in unhelpful ways. if republicans nominate candidates who are too trumpy, they will have problems in swing states and certainly, in swing districts. that's what i think we

vice president kamala harris called the verdict, quote, disappointing. >> the verdict really speaks for itself. as many of you know, i've worked to make the criminal justice system more equitable and clearly there is a lot more work to do. >> kyle rittenhouse in a tucker carlson produced documentary said he acted in self-defense. >> the jury reached the correct verdict, self-defense is not illegal. and i believe they came to the correct verdict and i'm glad that everything went well. >> talu, you're writing a book on george floyd's life. there are critical instances. as you watched this and as this is the eyes of the nation that watched the trial, what did you take away mr. it? >> there was a period over last summer where we started to think the country was going to come together on issues of violence, justice, criminal justice after george floyd's death. it did seem like people of all different persuasions and political backgrounds were coming on the street deciding they were not going to stand for what happened to george floyd. we quickly saw the backlash to that. now twee see people

while under anesthesia, the president transferred power to vice president kamala harris, making her the first woman with presidential power for an hour and 25 minutes. >> sir, what is the state of your health today? >> good. i feel great. nothing has changed. we're in great shape. and so i'm looking forward to celebrating my 58th birthday. >> the president was joking there. he is actually turning 79 years old tomorrow. he'll spend the weekend with his family up in wilmington, delaware, celebrating. and the white house says they will release a summary of his physical results at some points today so we are still waiting to get that exactly. but this will be the first glimpse at what the president's health is like in two years. he last had a physical in 2019 when running for president. pamela? >> arlette saenz, thank you. >>> before next year's campaigning even begins, we'll show you how some politicians are giving an advantage by redrawing some lines. ♪ superpowers from a spider bite? i could use some help showing the world how liberty mutual customizes their car insurance so they only

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

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

there was, i think, a rather notable and historic moment today for 85 minutes, the vice president, kamala harris, actually became the first woman to hold presidential powers. tell us about that. >> that's exactly right. look, white house press secretary jen psaki said everything this white house does with the first female vice president is historic. the hour and 25 minutes, president biden was receiving a colonoscopy was the first time a woman has held those powers, even on a temporary basis. the president went through that colonoscopy as part of his annual physical exam. he called at 11:35, both the vice president and his chief of staff ron klain and made clear he was out okay and feeling well about things. we also, wolf, just got a copy of the summary of the president's physical. which we're still going through, but the bottom line right now in the first read through from kevin o'connor, the physician to the president is president biden remains a healthy, vigorous 78-year-old male fit to successfully execute the office of the presidency to include those at head of state, chief executive
