KAMALA HARRIS ARE ROLLING IN FROM DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY.

THIS AS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ENDED HIS BID FOR RE-ELECTION JUST YESTERDAY, BIDEN WENT ON TO ENDORSE HIS VP TO BECOME THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT.

BUT WITH 3 MONTHS UNTIL ELECTION DAY AND 28 DAYS UNTIL THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN CHICAGO, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY.

JOINING US NOW WITH MORE, OUR CONGRESSMAN JONATHAN JACKSON, A DEMOCRAT FROM ILLINOIS'S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, WHICH INCLUDES PARTS OF THE CITY'S SOUTH SIDE AND SOUTH SUBURBS.

AND CONGRESSMAN DANNY DAVIS, A DEMOCRAT FROM ILLINOIS'S 7TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, WHICH INCLUDES PARTS OF THE CITY'S SOUTH AND WEST SIDES.

WE SHOULD MENTION WE ALSO INVITED ILLINOIS'S REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.

CONGRESSMAN JACKSON IN DAVIS, WE THANK THE BOTH OF YOU FOR JOINING US.

FIRST, CONGRESSMAN JACKSON, WHATEVER MONTH.

WHEN IT COME TO YOU, BECAUSE, OF COURSE, YOU ARE ONE OF THE ILLINOIS DELEGATES WHO STILL SUPPORTED BIDEN'S DECISION TO STAY IN THE ELECTION WHEN OTHER MEMBERS WERE CALLING ON OTHER MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WERE CALLING ON HIM TO STEP DOWN.

WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION YESTERDAY WHEN YOU LEARNED THAT HE WAS BOWING OUT?

PRAY FOR THE RECOVERY FROM COVID AND AS HE RECUPERATES DOING THIS PERIOD OF ISOLATION.

I RESPECT HIS DECISION.

PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD TREMENDOUS MOMENTUM GOING FORWARD.

14 MILLION TO A VOTE IN THE PRIMARY FOR THE BIDEN-HARRIS TICKET.

SO I WAS SPEAKING WITH CURRENT TICKET.

WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A BACKUP PLAN MENTALLY IN SUCCESSION, TOO.

IF THE PRESIDENT SEEKS NOT TO RUN, THE VICE PRESIDENT BECOMES THE BETTER ON DEC AND THAT TRANSITION IS TAKING PLACE.

AND FOR THAT, I'M EXTREMELY GRATEFUL AS WELL SCHOOLS AND ORDERLY PROCESS.

AND FOR THOSE PERSONS THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ON AS OF YET.

I RESPECT THEIR DECISION.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

WE HAVE ANOTHER 3 TO 4 WEEKS BEFORE WE HAVE THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

BUT THE CROWD IN THE NUMBERS ARE GROWING.

THE ENTHUSIASM IS CAUGHT ON AND I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

AND I ALSO LIKE TO KEEP IT CONTEXT.

NUMBER 2 AND A HALF YEARS AGO, YOU HAD TO BE CALLED NEVER TRUMPERS PEOPLE VILE, VICIOUS THINGS.

BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY, WE'VE NOT HAD THIS SORT OF FRICTION BUT THEY HAVE PEOPLE WHO DIFFERENT OPINIONS.

ALL RIGHT.

APPRECIATE I THINK THEY SHOULD AIR IT OUT.

AND I THINK THERE'S PLENTY OF THOSE TIME FOR US TO COME TOGETHER.

HAVE THE MOMENTUM AND CONTINUE TO CHEAT THE VICTORIES THAT THE BIDEN-HARRIS.

CAMPAIGN HAS PUT MOTION WOULD LIKE TO SEE ME.

WE HAVE IS PRESIDENT PUTS FOR PEOPLE IN THE CAMPAIGN THAT WOULD EXUBERANCE SPIRIT AND WE KEEP THIS MOMENTUM GOING FORWARD.

AND OF COURSE, I DEFINITELY WANT TO COME BACK TO WHAT THE CAMPAIGN MIGHT LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD FOR HER.

BUT CONGRESSMAN DAVIS, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS?

WHAT YOU THINK IT WAS THAT MADE PRESIDENT BIDEN SORT OF CHANGE HIS MIND OR FULLY CHANGE HIS MIND AND REACH THIS DECISION BECAUSE THE LAST 3 WEEKS SINCE THE DEBATE, EVEN PRETTY DEFIANT AND ADAMANT THAT HE WOULD STAY IN THE RACE WHEN YOU THINK IT WAS.

I AGREE WITH THAT.

BUT I'VE ALSO SAID CONTINUOUSLY THAT.

PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD THAT KIND OF INTEGRITY.

THAT WOULD DETERMINE HIS ACTIONS AND THAT ONCE YOU REACH THE POINT.

WHERE YOU FELT SOMETHING WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF DEMOCRATS AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY.

HE WOULD MAKE APPROPRIATE DECISION.

AND I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SO I COMMEND HIM FOR HIS SENSE OF INTEGRITY.

AND I ALSO COMMEND HIM FOR MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE WAS SUPPORTING VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS RIGHT THE BAT RIGHT FROM FROM COM SO THAT THERE'S NO DOUBT AND WHAT YOU DON'T IN TERMS OF THE PERSON THAT YOU CHOSE, THE TO BE HIS VICE PRESIDENT, KNOWING THAT SHE IS FULLY PREPARED TO TAKE THE BATON AND RUN WITH IT.

BRING IT TO THE FINISH LINE.

SO WE'RE PRETTY IS STATIC THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS A CANDIDATE, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF DEAR FRIEND, SHEILA JACKSON LEE.

AND THAT KIND TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF, YOU KNOW, YOU GET DOWN IN ONE INSTANCE.

BUT IF YOU'RE UP IN THE OTHER.

SO IT'S A GREAT MOMENT.

I THINK AMERICA AND NOW WE'VE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNITE AND GO OUT AND DEFEAT.

DON'T TRUMP, OF COURSE, THE AGAIN NEWS BROKE LATE LAST WEEK OF THE PASSING CONGRESSMAN SHEILA JACKSON LEE FROM TEXAS.

LONG TIME.

DAVIS WITH YOU FOR JUST A SECOND.

YOU KNOW, YOU COMMENDING PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR KEEPING OR FOR ENDORSING VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS.

ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE ANY CHALLENGERS BETWEEN NOW AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE BEEN A LOT OF ENDORSEMENTS FOR HER.

BUT COULD SOMEONE MAKE A CHALLENGE?

DIFFERENT OPINIONS, DIFFERENT THOUGHTS AND THAT WOULD MAKE DEMOCRATS WHO DEMOCRATS ARE IS WE BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO THINKING AND THEIR OPINIONS AND THERE MAY BE SOME SHADOW.

DON'T GOING BUT THEY HAVE NOT SURFACED.

THIS TIME AND I HOPE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SO LIVE.

FIND IN THE NEXT DAY 2.

GET ON WITH IT.

THERE'S GROUNDSWELL.

I MEAN, THERE'S NO WAY THAT CAN BE DENIED THAT THERE IS A GROUNDSWELL VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS.

WHOEVER IS THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE THAT TIME.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

BUT I THINK WE'LL SEE THE VALIDATION IN A MINUTE 2 AND BE ON OUR WAY.

A CONGRESSMAN JACKSON.

AND WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF FUNDS HAVE BEEN RAISED SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT WHAT DO YOU THINK SOME OF HER CHALLENGES WILL BE HEADING DOWN THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL?

BOTH THE CHALLENGES TOWARDS RECEIVING THE OFFICIAL NOMINATION FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

BUT ALSO IF AND WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR CAMPAIGN AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.

SAID I THINK IT'S OFF TO THE RACES.

HE'S READY TO I DON'T SEE THE DOWNSIDE.

SHE'S GOT 3 WEEKS TO MAKE A TRANSITION FOR GETTING SOME CAMPAIGN STAFFERS IN THAT REFLECT OUR ARE UNIQUE VOICE AND SHE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE BEST SHOT.

I THINK WE'VE GOT A PRESIDENT.

BIDEN COULD ANNOUNCE HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK.

ALMOST A DAY OF THE CONVENTION THAT IT'S SUNDAY.

SO SHE HAS 3 WEEKS.

THAT'S A BIT OF A CHALLENGE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE POTENTIAL PERSONS SHE WOULD WANT TO BUT SHE'S BEEN ON THE JOB AND SHE'S BEEN ACTIVE.

SHE'S NOT BEEN A PASSIVE ONE OUT OF SIGHT.

VICE PRESIDENT.

SHE'S BEEN CLOSE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT.

SHE'S FAR ENOUGH TO STAY AWAY SO THAT THE PRESIDENT CAN ALL OF HIS SIGN SHE WAS RESTING IN THE AND MOVE SEE THE PORTFOLIO THINGS IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA.

SHE'S FILLED ON THE EXECUTIVE DECISION.

SHE'S BEEN A PART OF 31 DECISIONS TO BE A TIE BREAKING ROLLING, WHICH IS HER JOB AS THE VICE PRESIDENT LEGISLATION KNOWN TO STUART.

SO SHE'S NEVER TAKEN DAY SHE'S BEEN FULLY CAPABLE AND NOW SHE TRAVELS ACROSS THE NATION.

SHE IS IN FULL GEAR ENERGIZED THE BASE.

OF COURSE, SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO PICK A VICE CANDIDATE IS WELL, A RUNNING MATE IN THAT.

ALL OF THE SPECULATION IS HAPPENING ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.

CONGRESSMAN JACKSON, WHAT WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT LOOKS LIKE FOR HER?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT HAD BEEN SPECULATED AS HER OPTIONS SO FAR?

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE FULL I WOULD REMIND YOU CRIMINALIZE PRESIDENT IS ON THE TICKET AND THOSE CLOU THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT IN ONE WAY.

BUT THEY'RE 470 FEDERAL RACES THAT ARE GOING ON FOR 35 IN THE CONGRESS.

35 33 IN THE SENATE AND THE VICE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT.

SO WE'RE ALSO HAVE OUR HOPES REGAIN THE HOUSE MAJORITY WHERE THE DEAN OF OUR DELEGATION OF ILLINOIS, CONGRESSMAN DAVIS WILL GO UP IN THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE LEADER HAKEEM JEFFRIES, BE THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

WE CAN SINCE BEEN MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD.

THEN WE CAN HAVE THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH WE CAN EXECUTE AND ULTIMATELY BE ABLE TO SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

THESE PERSONS AND ON THE SUPREME COURT.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ELECTED BUT HAD BEEN SELECTED AND THEY'VE COME IN.

THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO BE PARTIAL.

I MEAN, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE A LOT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF A LOT OF FEDERAL ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

BUT CONGRESSMAN DAVIS, JUST ABOUT 30 SECONDS LEFT THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK.

WHAT KIND CANDIDATE FELLOW RUNNING MATE DO YOU THINK SHE NEEDS TO BE LOOKING FOR?

TRADITIONALLY, THE PRESIDENT IS ALWAYS TRYING TO SELECT VICE PRESIDENTIAL GOING HELP THEM GET ELECTED.

THINK THAT THAT.

THAT THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS GOING TO BE LOOKING TO DO EXACTLY THAT.

I HOPE THE PERSON WILL COME FROM THE MIDWESTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

I'M NOT POLITICAL ANALYST.

SOME GUESTS AND HOPPER TOO.

BUT THE I THINK THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL AND I WOULD HOPE THAT FEW WOULD GET A VICE PRESIDENT FROM MID WESTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES.

WE KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE LIST THAT WE'VE HEARD OF WHO ARE FROM THE AREA.

OBVIOUSLY ALL EYES ARE WAITING TO SEE
