do you think that kamala harris or, i should say, what makes kamala harris ready for this historic moment? >> it's a lot to become the first woman to be district torney of one of the largest cities in the country, san francisco, to head up the legal arm of the largest estate in california, when s was the first -- largest state in california, when she was the first black woman to be attorney won to me a vehe first bla prestial nee s s a ltle bit andosepo witho gu having to take tough fights. i think that her lineage and her legacy and politics have shown she is ready to lead, ready to serve, ready to be in the executivoffice. i think, at the end of the day, joe biden was looking for a running mate that would be ready to lead and govern with him on day one, to be that partner standing beside him. she has proven that through her past. ne: we have seen the democratic party conflicted between how centrist it needs to be and the more progressive wing . it is kamala harrin somebody who ite the party? -- is kamala harris somebody who can unite the party? >> absolutely. we know that with the press

even in announcing the pick of kamala harris. kamala harris is a tough-as-nails prosecutor. and i think there was a lot of thought that went into how would she do in a debate with mike pence and how would she handle the donald trump campaign? and i don't know whether that -- how important that was on his list. because, of course, loyalty is on the list as well. but i know that biden wanted someone to balance him that way, to be really tough. >> and we talked about this, dana. but somebody who has been there on the national stage and also not just on the national stage but as district attorney in california, in san francisco. she's had some tough races. >> she sure has. she's definitely had some tough races in just getting to the point where she could be the democratic senator from california, considering the fact that it's a state of democrats that wasn't so easy for her. and she is a trailblazer. she became the first female african-american attorney general in california, the first african-american woman to represent california in the united states senate. and now of course

here is the way we ended that interview with kamala harris ten years ago. >> kamala harris, attorney general elect of california. thank you pour joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> and you are invited back on the program to announce your presidential campaign in 2016, as soon as you are ready to make that announcement for 2016. thank you very much. >> i'm ready to get to work as ag. thank you. >> thank you. >> she ran for senate in 2016, after senator barbara boxer announced that she would not run for re-election. kamala harris won 61% of the vote that time. she won 54 out of 58 counties in california. and she was, then, a proven vote-getter in the biggest state in the union. and she was perfectly positioned to spend eight years in the united states senate, gaining the governing experience and the resume credibility to run for president of the united states. but something happened the night that kamala harris was elected to the united states senate that was not supposed to happen. hillary clinton lost the electoral college. and so, the next opening to run for president was, suddenly

"the new york times" for one is on board. "the times" doesn't think you should worry about what harris plans to do to your country if she is elected. moments after harris joined the biden campaign, the paper declared her a

you saw different kamala harris today at the press conference and this was the kamala harris who wanted to destroy joe biden. let me be very clear about her. she will say things about black lives matter. she said that today. well, kamala, is it black lives matter like david dorn, the black officer, is it black lives like the ones in chicago? you say black lives matter, is that all black lives or are you just saying that to appease the extremist group? that is a situation just she has to explain to her the other thing about it is, if she is such a prologue order moderate democrat, where's the police unions supporting her? they are supporting donald trump. one last thing, she's a nasty person. she's mean. look what you try to do with justice kavanaugh. and when you talk about what she's planned to do, if i wass joe biden, i would sleep with one eye open, because she is i looking to take over the white house. she's only in it for herself period. >> sean: wow. dan bongino, secret service former nypd. i hate the way police have been treated, the 99% of brave cops that put their lives at risk

but i think kamala harris is ready for that. she proved that during the primary fight and i thought it was instructive that joe biden chose somebody that stood up to him. that said a lot, says a lot about him, says an awful lot about her. >> not since reagan-bush have you seen that. that turned out to be effective. i think you're right. i think some voters like to know oh, you respect somebody who's willing to go after you. claire mccaskill, how would you assess joe biden. there were pitfalls during the vetting process they avoided. we can nitpick, but for the most part i don't think there's going to be sore feelings. i'm curious, how do you think they handled this, do you think they -- how do you think biden handled the vetting process? >> first of all, one of the things you want in a presidential campaign is the kind of tight lipped access to the really important stuff. they kept this quiet. this was amazing, especially when everyone is having more time on their phones because nobody is traveling anywhere. the fact that this d

kamala harris just doesn't. you can't attack her for being a tough prosecutor and then attack her for being a left-wing freak at the same time. >> makes sense. >> the messages kind of mix, and they counterbalance each other. >> well, if you see the headline we just put up, she's so happy in the picture. she's probably just so grateful for all of the supporters that she has -- >> from the trump family. >> yes, donald trump himself and ivanka. >> yeah. it's nice. it's nice to be loved. >> got to be just so happy about that. >> isn't it nice? oh, the trumps are giving me money. they just keep writing me checks. it's very nice. >> yeah, i'm happy. >> i'm not going to spend their money. i'm not going to use their money, but it's nice. i can give it to a charity, which is exactly what kamala did. but it is nice to be loved, and they are loved, obviously, by the trumps. >> let's bring in nbc news correspondent mike memoli from wilmington, delaware. and mike, i guess there's going to be an event. i'm curious how this is

the democrats who no kamala harris cannot stand her. they all say the same and private she lacks personal integrity and is only interested in one thing, herself. they are also considerably talking about her behavior towards people who work for hurd will have more on that later in the show. if kamala harris says the democrats who know her say an untrustworthy flip flopping narcissistic tyrant that's nothing new in politics but for months we were told that widen would select a running mate he wasn't pot ago with. biden knows what being vice president is all about so he wanted someone he could trust and work with. that all turned out to be total es. biden and his team were told very clearly by democrats but kamala harris is really like that he couldn't trust her as far as he could throw her, that she's a total nightmare to work with her he knew all that ready picture anyway. instead of simpatico he got ultra-"politico." that tells you how weak he really is. as president he wouldn't be a leader, he'd be a follower led by the different facti

kamala harris represents a true american story. the daughter of immigrants, a black woman fighting for justice and making sure that people who have been left behind have a path forward and a fire and an advocate. this is exactly the right pick. this ticket, i think we're going to face some tough times because we've already seen today that trump and his people are going to race to the bottom. but kamala harris and joe biden together are tough. they're determined. they're experienced. and this is going to be, i think, an amazing campaign all the way through november 3rd. >> in terms of that race to the bottom that you just described there, i was struck -- i suppose i shouldn't have been surprised, but the trump campaign is already out with an ad characterizing senator harris as radical. senator harris has been characterized as a lot of things. i think she's very rarely construed as radical. part of me thinks that was inevitable no matter who the biden campaign was going to pick, that they had that rubber stamp ready for whoever the n

he ended up choosing kamala harris. leaders that you have spoken to, what do they make of the pick, and is there any small sense of disappointment that the running mate is not a latina? >> reporter: well, not so far, chuck. they're very happy. some are calling her a formidable and historic choice. they're saying that joe biden clearly understands that there's strength in diversity. i just spoke to a woman from venezuela. she said she k0u8dncouldn't be r to see a woman that looks like her for the first time in a presidential ticket. she's been supported by a legendary civil rights leader within the latina community. many are contrasting her strengths against president trump. they're calling him a white nationalist, and they say that kamala harris is an ally of immigrants and a voice for the ones that have been counted out. and she clearly is bringing strength to this ticket, because she has won various elections in california. she knows how to campaign with the hispanic community. and at one point during the primary, she

that's kamala harris. he will talk too older voters, african american voters that have known him and supported him for decades. in terms of towing that line, i hope the biden-harris ticket will push back and say things like bernie sanders wanted us to adopt medicare for all. the green new deal. we're for legalizing marijuana. we didn't do that. that is not in the platform right now. it will be interesting to see how they talk about it at the dnc convention from their remote location. i don't think this will be nearly as difficult as republicans like our friend marc here would like it to be. i think that people will see that it's joe biden who has been moderate his entire career and leading this ticket. kamala joined him, not the other way around. >> dana: that is true. i was pointing out to bret baier, it's like when obama chose biden, he needed that shift. biden needed something like kamala harris. marc thiessen, props to you for the room. we'll come back to see more of that. thank you both. next we'll he

and he talks about the ways in which beau talked about kamala harris and liked kamala harris, and the ways in which he admired beau biden, his son and took him at his word when he talked about kamala harris in the way that he did and talked about their friendship. that was very important to him in terms of thinking about kamala harris as a partner. so that ended up being very key to one of the things that he did hear, which was to pick her, which was to trust her, which is to see her as a loyal partner and above all else as someone who could be president. >> all right. well, we are standing by for the first joint event with joe biden and his new running mate kamala harris. we will bring that to you live. >>> plus, in making his vp pick, joe biden credited his late son's friendship with harris. and up next i'm going to talk to an attorney general who knew them both. how about poor fred wilson? what a shame. so soon after retiring. i hear his wife needed help with the funeral expenses. that's ridiculous! -he had social security. -when my brother died, his wife received a check from soci
