we will be here as you saw bernie sanders briefly in the vip box. back to the floor. >> -- great united states senators and senator bob menendez and our cory booker. i stand before you with our congressional delegation and others. again, a state that is as diverse as they come in america, to tell you we are the state that started the revolution and we want to be the state to continue the revolution again. we proudly cast our votes for the great senator of vermont, 45 votes for senator sanders and for the next president of the united states of america, the first female and history will be made, 95 votes for hillary clinton. >> new jersey basically climp g i clinching the nomination. after new mexico comes new york. you might expect new york getting pride of place. hillary clinton represented new york as a senator. it will be interesting to see whether they pass their turn and go later in the roll call or after new mexico here, if new york goes right in alphabetical line. >> our state has two great national labs which spin ideas from the lab bench to

people feeling this election was stolen from bernie sanders. they gave a particularly nasty reception to debbie wasserman-schultz when she appeared in public for the first time. take a listen. >> we have so much to do, and we have to make sure we notch forward together in a unified way. we know that the voices in this room that are standing up and being disruptive. we know that that's not the florida that we know. reporter: that's the same kind of reception hillary clinton delegates are getting outside the wells far doug -- the wells. wells fargo center. they are not happy with it. listen to what they said to bernie. >> we have got to elect hillary clinton and tim kaine. [c[crowd booing] reporter: i talked to a number of people in this crowd that said yes we booed bernie, we booed him because we love him. we know that he had the election stolen from him, and we still support him and we are still with him and we don't want to be supporting hillary clinton and we are not going to vote for hillary clinton, we don't care what he says. i have never

and with bernie sanders comments, there is unity. the entire place on it feet cherishing this moment. i'm here with lou dobbs to talk about this. >> monday is dead and gone as the wells fargo center arena and tuesday is here and her nomination is now official. it is an extraordinary journey she traveled in just the past week let alone over the course since 2008. maria: yet a lot of people talking about the platform being the most progressive. what will the platform look like should she win the presidency. what will the platform look like this is a euphemism for left wing. we haven't seen anything near this since fdr. that impact will prove to be positive deleterious to the hopes to win the white house. it's almost twice as liberal as it was 20 years ago. that platform is quite a document. and yet the campaign just until this week was favoring that. there is a broad in the party. regardless of the partnership. we are talking about the highest number of independence. they are going to have to reach out to those independence. to win the

there are bernie sanders' supporters on either side of this gymnasium here, holding up bernie sanders signs, holding out hope that he will not endorse. i talked to about ten bernie sanders supporters this morning. he said he's not going to endorse today, they don't believe it. he is indeed going to endorse. the reality here is we're 35 days after the last primaries where hillary clinton clinched the nomination. most of his supporters have come on board. both campaigns believe most will. some may not. at this point, it matters less and less baurz donald trump is unifying this party much more so than hillary clinton is, much more so than bernie sanders is. not surprisingly donald trump is trying to get in on the act here. he tweeted this morning, sort of razzing and jabbing bernie sanders supporters. he's saying he's essentially selling out his supporters here. when bernie sanders takes the stage this morning and embraces hillary clinton, this will be the moment that hillary clinton has been waiting for for so long. it reminds me of eight years ago in unity, new hampshire, when barack o

sanders then the forces behind bernie sanders. and the forces behind hillary clinton. let me bring in right now chris val collin, democratic nominee for senate seat there as well. sir, thanks for being here. >> congratulations on your primary victory. though you still have to -- >> got another round to go. >> let me ask you, first of all, you know about running committees. you headed the democratic congressional campaign committee for years. when you see these e-mails internally of people that are supposed to be neutral, when it comes to clinton versus sanders, talking about spreading dirt on him, what's your reaction? >> well, look, i can certainly understand that, jake, why these raise serious concerns. you saw a lot of inappropriate e-mails, debbie wasserman schultz did the right thing in stepping down. we just had the mayor of baltimore swear, bring convention to order, but it is important to separate that from what went on throughout the country in terms of the actual results. hillary clinton won in a dig way on the delegate

sanders, bernie sanders supporters, well, bernie sanders spoke to his supporters earlier today and he talked about the idea of party unity, talked the idea of supporting hillary clinton, and he got booed. that's something that's on a lot of people's minds right now, looking forward to tonight and his speech. kasie hunt is down there with a sanders supporter who was at that meeting today. kasie, what do you have? >> hi, steve. this is the california delegation which is one of the larger delegations here in this hall. obviously many supporters. yes, hillary clinton supporters but also sanders folks. we found one of them who was at that event yesterday. sanders spoke to all of his delegates, about 1900 of them. this is alexis edelstein and you booed, why? >> yes. we think bernie is still the candidate to win. we don't want trump any more than anyone else wants trump. it's up to the superdelegates to make that decision. in the polls hillary is losing. that's why superdelegates come into play in the first place this. we don't want trump to win. so if we support hillary, we believe trump wi

sanders people including bernie sanders. but that has now changed completely. last 24 to 48 hours debbie wasserman shultz under pressure has indicated she is resigning as party chair after the convention. she was hanging on to her role gaveling it down and also presiding over the convention, but that now in the last hour after a lot of pressure from the clinton campaign saying what happened in the delegation when she was booed off the stage in her own florida delegates among the other florida delegates just giving her a terrible open. now the choir is now rehearsing here right above me on the stage. if we can show you what's happening on the stage. you can see it from your vantage point as well. we know that bernie sanders is in the building. he's going to be coming out to test the podium, test the mikes. he's not been to these democratic conventions. he was always a democratic socialist, independent caucusing with the democrats. never been a part of the party structure. that's one of the reasons there's so much suspicion no

bernie sanders is not. not only that there is the fact that bernie sanders's views are exotic in the use of many, including many democrats. if you think about this, one. jobs of a political party is to nominate and elect candidates martha: that is a good point. >> obviously they want somebody who can be elected. there is a widespread sense among democrats d others that bernie sanders couldn't possibly be elected even if he were to get the nomination. so they favor hillary. it isn't attractive they would try to use his religion against him which never happened. there we are. i have to say i have a little bit of sympathy for debbie wasserman-schultz who appears to have done exactly what the clinton camp and party wanted. martha: it fuels the fire of bernie sanders supporters who wanted him to be the democratic nominee. >> it is also the case, martha, democratic party needs bernie sanders to get elected. barack obama could win over people for variety of reasons. hillary clinton doesn't have the advantage. she

hillary has 300 more delegates than bernie sanders. david: kelly, the fact superdelegates was at heart of issue really getting under the skin of the bernie sanders supporters. if they had seen these emails, they would have realized they had no, there was no way that they were going to get anything close to their way in terms of dealing with that situation. >> well these e-mails prove the bias of the dnc. listen, debbie wasserman schultz didn't resign today because this system is rigged. we all know that. she resigned because these emails were actually leaked. that is where the left has all the fury. debbie wasserman schultz had her position to rig the game against bernie sanders. see them trying to leak out an article that painted sanders supporters as violent. you saw it with the religion. how can we paint him in a corner on his religion. david: right. >> emails are self-evident. they definitely prove a bias. we all knew this going into that. hillary clinton, how many coines process? how many debates did we have? david: i'm impressed

sanders who endorsed bernie sanders for president. to bring him not a high profile senator, shows you how far the dnc and clinton campaign are going to wrap their arms around the sanders movement, not that the sanders movement seems to give one whit about that but no reason to have him on primetime other than to tell the sanders folks they're being heard and respected and their leadership has a place in this party. >> in the senate, because it is sometimes germane to the treatment and reception by the larger party, it's fair to say bernie sanders has been a loner. he is not a cloak room kind of guy, not a democrat. he caucuses with the democrat and not been part of that club. >> no. i that's, why i think part of why when the wikileaks e-mails came out from the democratic party this week, yes, it did underscore what sanders have been saying all along they felt the dnc was tilt eed for clinto and against them. if you were a bernie sanders supporter and believed that partly because bernie sanders wasn't in the democratic party until he d

casts 47 votes for bernie sanders! >> and madam secretary, the great state of minnesota, cast 42 votes for the next president of the united states, hillary clinton. >> the roll call continues. we'll take another break. much more after this. my fellow americans... they say we're a nation divided. that's not true. we agree on a lot. like paul rudd. everybody loves paul rudd. i didn't know this was going to happen! you know what else everyone loves? emojis. no. beer! that's why we're forming the bud light party. just wait till you see our caucus. we've got the biggest caucus in the country! ooooeeeyyyyy! i'm really inspired right now. america has seen the light... and there's a bud in front of it! sfx: crowd cheers, fireworks ♪ hey there. hi, i'm looking for a deal on an iphone... ...i was thinking, something along these lines. oh, okay. well, how about this? here's my answer. is this you with a dinosaur body? it's just me with happy hands... it just means i'll take it. right now, buy an iphone and get another one free

not just supporters of bernie sanders. jeff flock has the latest with dramatic video from last night. >> it started off as a passionate but peaceful protest, pro-bernie sanders protest and that is in some ways the way it ended that. and between, it was an extraordinary night. the bernie sanders supporters marching on the convention with a coffin to symbolize the death of the democratic party. these people continue to support the bernie sanders moved that, even a himself has endorsed hillary clinton. they dumped the cost in over a fence into the convention. very carefully, not doing any damage, been clear that they want this to be a peaceful protest. and then, all dressed in black with masks appeared on the scene and broke through the fence that you see back here behind me, broke through that. not part of the bernie sanders peaceful protest, but when many of them described as anarchists. they broke through for a while. people got inside the convention compound, were pursued by police. police made arrests, blocks the rest of

bernie sanders is suffering that plight. we think there are supporters of bernie sanders who are not ideological but voting for sanders because they were against wall street influence in politics and hillary clinton is the wall street candidate. they are against a rigged political system. we think voters will look at us now. >> what is donald trump's plans this week, is he going to lie low w450i8 the democrats celebrate in philly or something else? >> donald trump will not lie low. he will be out campaigning starting tomorrow. tomorrow he and governor pence will be campaigning together. we will be going to a number of bat 8 ground states this and talk about the issues that will be framed by his convention speech on thursday. >> do you expect a bounce in cleveland and if so what bounce would you be satisfied with? >> the bounce has been happening since the fbi indicted -- should have indicted secretary of state clinton but didn't. since this time donald trump's members of the ju message was heard more clearly. we have been gr

bernie sanders supporters. and whether they will follow him when he endorses the winning ticket. big speeches tonight and a whole lot more. later, the post convention bump. what new polling says about challenges facing hillary clinton this week. as day one democratic national convention coverage continues. squuuuack, let's feed him let's feto the sharks!sharks! yay! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold! ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never said that. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful! i smell bad! if you're a parrot, you repeat things. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. squuuuack, it's what you do. innovative sonicare technology with up to 27% more brush movements versus oral b. get healthier gums in 2 weeks guaranteed. innovation and you. philips sonicare. save when you buy the most loved rechargeable toothbrush brand in america. >>> welcome back. lo

a lot of them bernie sanders supporters. but with sanders throwing his support behind clinton, what will be their next steps? joining me now nbc's carrie sanders who is at the latest bernie or bust rally, what's going on, carrie? >> reporter: chris, i'm out here and it's a rather large crowd of people as you can see several hundred who've gathered out here and i suspect it will continue to grow. these are the bernie supporters. these are the people who say that they feel that the democratic national committee has hoodwinked them, they feel betrayed and they're upset and they're unwilling to accept that bernie sanders's role is not larger as this election proceeds. i had a chance to speak to some of those who are here away from some of the noise, why don't we listen for a moment of what their true feelings are. do you feel betrayed and why? >> yes, definitely betrayed by the democratic party because of the corruption and the fraud that's been happening behind the scenes. >> reporter: does hillary clinton get your support? >>

and bernie sanders is suffering that plight and we think that the supporters of bernie sanders who are voting for sanders because they were against wall street influencing politics and hillary clinton is the wall street candidate, they were against the rigged political system, we think they'll take a look at us now. >> donald trump will return to the campaign trail today in virginia and north carolina where he will continue to blast clinton and the dnc. >> i'm sure he will. all right. thanks for being with us this morning. >>> well, the convention has not even started yet but debbie wasserman schultz forced resignation from the dnc causing chaos in the streets of philadelphia. >> so what kind of fallout can we expect? thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having us. >> so, a little bit of chaos, you could say this morning as we wake up and the convention is just beginning. so what do you think the fallout will be this week? >> look, you know, chaos, no. distraction on the eve of the convention, yes, most definitely, but look, tonight we'll have bernie sanders who's going to be speaki

>> i was in the oregon section and oregon voted overwhelming for bernie sanders and bernie sanders set this place on fire tonight. he remanded everyone issue after issue and the bold vision he put forward for the campaign. he opened the door, did this in partnership with hillary clinton, for hillary to see the great frustration in america and take a much bolder view herself on what can be accomplished on topic after topic, on education, on health care, on the corruption of campaign cash, on global warming. so he has shifted in a fascinating and profound way the direction of the democratic party and the direction of the hillary run. it's something that all of us who stood with bernie are so pleased to see. a young woman who you had on recently said it's a relationship, she isn't quite sold on the relationship yet. but i think in the course of the week, people are going to be sold and of course hillary clinton will come out and close the deal herself. i hope she comes out and she makes a bold and passionate stand on these issues that is in sync with what we heard tonight. >> why do you t

bernie sanders speaks later on tonight. you could see something similar happen again. >> well, you could. and listen, that is part of the calculation here of why debbie wasserman schultz is not gaveling in this convention, because what happened to her this morning at the florida delegation. remember, that's her home state delegation. she stood in front of that group of delegates and she was essentially booed off the stage. she was trying to talk over them and they were booing and jeering, holding up signs saying things about the dnc e-mails. this is a big problem for this party. they say they want to , but they a split, and for all the talk about how not unified the republicans were last week saying that, they have their own trouble in their own backyard. >> we may get end case of future trouble in the next few minutes when there are volts taken on credentials and a rules package. that could give the bernie sanders supporters an opportunity to make their voice heard in the early going of to convention. that could happen in

and also anticipation of bernie sanders speech, berni sanders gives a very big endorsement to hillary clinton tomorrow night, then all of a sudden that plays a little less. i don't blame, it's probably smart politics for donald trump to go after sanders supporters but could have a big letdown monday night. >> as mark murray pointed out in the last 15 minutes we've been on the big headline, the former head of the naacp lucky enough to be our guest right now ben jealous officially for the first time on air supporting, putting his support behind hillary clinton as the party's nominee. thank you so much, mark. you can stick around. we'll be right back as we follow the major breaking news. right now the dnc vice chair donna brazile will serve as interim chair now that debbie wasserman schultz has announced her resignation after the convention wraps up. we'll be right back. we're not wrapping up here. how i stay active. and to keep up this pace, i need the right nutrition. so i drink boost®. boost® complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vi

with the bernie sanders camp. now bring in a hillary clinton supporter now, the former secretary of labor under bill clinton, alexis herman. welcome to the program. it's good to see you. >> good to be with you. thank you for inviting me. >> what would you say to alexis more ellie who says i'm not having it, i'm really angry and i'm not going to go with hillary? >> i would say to angie more ellie and i was listening to that interview, we're going to continue to work hard for angie's vote. the reality is that's what this campaign in part has been about. we will continue to engage and dialogue with the bernie sanders supporters. we've won a lot of his supporters. senator sanders was marvelous last night, and we're not going to give up on angie or any sanders supporter. that's the work that we still have to do in this campaign. >> former president bill clinton is the main speaker tonight. is he the man who can pull the party together, perhaps pull the policy back to the center? is he the guy to do it? >> i think the r

>> i was here for bernie sanders, a bernie sanders delegate. i spoke at chicago state and introduced him. we welcomed him to 20,000 student spirit we were excited about bernie sanders. amy: why bernie sanders question regular from hillary clinton's home state. >> the political revolution is very important. the issues bernie spoke for an spoke to is why i supported him from the very beginning. this is not necessarily about the individual, but it is truly about the ideas, and bernie sanders spoke to the ideas and the ideas of so many americans. that is why it was easy for me to support bernie sanders with his democratic convention. amy: why not bernie clinton, and how do you feel about her being formally nominated today? >> it was not really about, why not, hillary, or why not, bernie? it was about the ideals be peopleed by those two and the issues important to me and the people i represent. minimum wage is a big issue in our community and state. the transpacific ownership, i am an environmentalist spirit we are concerned about water and about th

and maine is a state that went to bernie sanders. you're hearing bernie sanders' screams on the floor as well. lot of sanders' delegates down there. we are at the wells fargo center in philadelphia. democrats are trying to encourage some brotherly love and sisterly love tonight after a rocky start to the convention yesterday afternoon. hillary clinton will make history in just minutes, becoming the first woman to top a major party presidential ticket. so the leftover hard feelings from supporters of bernie sanders are straining the efforts from a unified front against donald trump. one of the people who will try to bring everyone together, familiar face at these conventions, former president and perspective first gentleman, bill clinton. we have coverage tonight as the roll call continues. jim rosen explains this process ongoing. bill hemmer is with the delegation from vermont, home of bernie sanders, where we could see him shortly. jennifer griffin and my colleague martha mccallum with the delegation from new york state. >> good eve

that's not stopping thousands of bernie sanders supporters flooding the streets. these folks mean business, i wouldn't stand out there protesting on a day like this, but these guys are very committed and they're out there. they're calling the dnc's treatment of their guy wildly unfair. as the heat rises, as you might imagine, so do tempers out there. [ chanting ] senior political correspondent mike emanuel live on the convention floor in philadelphia. mike, we will be getting a roll call which may provide tense moments ago. >> reporter: martha, no question about it. democratic leaders are trying to ease tensions a bit by giving bernie sanders a bigger role. among the featured speakers tonight are mothers of young men who were killed by police officers. the local police union is upset that these women are getting a high profile platform but not the loved ones of fallen law enforcement officers. as for more protests, it sounds like some of bernie's delegates are not listening to sanders and they're going rogue. >> i am not aware of any particular organized plans. i

bernie sanders said that to chuck todd on "meet the press." you know him better than anyone, being part of the delegation, being a virginian, tell us why you think tim kaine is progressive and should not be criticized to fellow democrats. >> if you're talking about progressive, you have to compare them not to the almighty you been but the alternative as they say. i think compared to the alternative, he is more progressive on his worst day than the trump-pence ticket could be on the best day. i think if you look at his record, he's clearly a friend of the underserved and privileged. so he's the civil rights lawyer backed by trade. he is spent time of his law school in honduras fighting poverty i think his views will be well received in the democratic party when they get to know him. >> what about this e-mail controversy? because bernie sanders has a legitimate complaint that as he has been saying all along, the party, the party's structure was tipping it in favor of hillary clinton. >> well, i think the e-mails unfortunate and they have distrac

[cheering] bernie sanders: thank you. thank you very much. [cheering] bernie sanders: thank you. thank you. it is an honor to be here tonight and to be following in the footsteps of my good friend , elizabeth warren. [cheering] bernie sanders: and to be here tonight to thank michelle obama for her incredible service to our country. [applause] bernie sanders: she has made all of us proud. theie begin by thanking hundreds of thousands of americans who actively participated in our campaign as volunteers. thank you. [cheering] [applause] bernie sanders: let me thank the 2.5 million americans who helped fund our campaign with an unprecedented 8 million individual campaign contributions. [cheering] [applause] sanders: anyone know what that average contribution was? >> $27. bernie sanders: that's right. $27. let me thank the 13 million americans who voted for the political revolution. [cheering] bernie sanders: giving us the 1846 pledged delegates here tonight. [cheering] bernie sanders: and delegates, thank you for being here and thank you for all the work you have done. [cheering] ber

that was bernie sanders' message. the first step of the revolution is to make sure donald trump never becomes president. >> bill press, pleasantly unpissed. with a smile, i don't know what i'm doing here. let's talk about michelle obama. bill brought it up. i'm kidding you. michelle obama, one of her most memorable lines last night, everyone has heard it. i want to play it again for our viewers when she talked about waking up every morning in the white house. i think we have that sound bite. let's play it. >> i wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. and i've watched my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young women playing with their dogs on the white hawes lawn. >> michelle obama got emotional when she was talking about that. kamal, when you were listening to that, what did you think? >> michelle obama 2016. i think she did a great job. as we know, the obamas and the clintons haven't always been the best of friends. she clearly went full-throated for hillary. she may be a better surrogate

this is a big victory for bernie sanders camp for bernie sanders himself. he's been calling for her ouster for months. there has been this open charge within the sanders campaign that the dnc was stacking the deck for hillary clinton. yamiche, you covered that campaign. how big is this going to be for those people protesting down there saying bernie, bernie and for the sanders supporters. >> this is going to be huge because bernie sanders part of the things people talked about him was the fact he had all these ideas, he was always vague, couldn't get things done. but this is something that in some ways you could saberny sanders is starting to get things done. and these protesters here they're going to say now we have a chance to make this party our party. i think that's going to energize his base and energize people i think that were backing bernie sanders now back hillary clinton because they're saying we can see moves. even if hillary clinton isn't herself going to come to us, we're going to make her move. and they can tack this off, tpp, college, health

bernie sanders' brother crying -- >> it is with enormous pride that i cast my vote for bernie sanders. >> reporter: as the senator himself, in the convention hall, looked on with pride. >> reporter: we are down here on this floor right now. the sense in this hall, history is about to be made, as the democratic party nominates the first woman ever to be president of the united states. this is the democratic party trying to heal itself. prom innocent sanders supporters like comedian sarah silverman urging unity. >> i am proud to be apart of bernie's movement and a vital part of that movement is making absolutely sure that hillary clinton is our next president of the united states. >> reporter: but the reaction from many sanders die hards, a chorus of boos. >> can i just say -- to the bernie or bust people -- you're being ridiculous. >> reporter: the woman tasked with bringing calm to a house divided -- first lady michelle obama. taking it to donald trump without ever even mentioning his name. >> don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great, that somehow we need to make i

sanders, bernie sanders." what about thahat? >> we try to go into a conventionon together, andnd pee show u up as they show up. the list be honest, if hillary was running for mayor, congress, or senate, i might be supporting her. there are a lot of things we absolutely agree on. some seats in cocongress and the senate. you start at the presidency to get more money from the party. you get 5%, and you can get more money from the party. ,n 2000, that was the iraq war and how much did that cost us and cost our children and the future? to not responsibility invest in fantasies but to do hard work of organizing, and the real hard work is in the streets once you get somebody in office. we do not elect presidents thatt led change happened for us. we want to leticia and who will make it easier for our movements to make change happen. frankly, over here about the green party is when somebody is running for president. we never hear about them running and congress. i wish i did. but the reality of the green party at work

-- senator bernie sanders. and we salute the energy and spirit of change. we also cast 44 votes for the next president of the united , hillary clinton. puertoawlings-blake: rico, you have cast 44 votes for secretary hillary clinton, and 23 votes for bernie sanders. rhode island. how do you cast your vote? >> madam secretary, i am the speaker of the house of the great state of rhode island. home of outstanding beaches and coastlines, him of the best in the world, great companies -- some of the best in the world, great companies such as has row and now ge,- hasbro state that is probably elected our first female governor, the smallest state in the union with one of the biggest hearts, home of the best restaurants in the country, this aid of rhode 17 votesoudly casts for bernie sanders and 19 votes for the next president of the united states, hillary rodham clinton. mayor rawlings-blake: rhode island, you have cast 19 votes for hillary clinton and 17 votes for bernie sanders. south carolina. south carolina, you hav

bernie sanders takes the podium tonight. that's going to be something, he'll get a huge round of support and he will try to convince those people they should get up and sheer for hillary clinton. will he succeed at that? >> make no mistake about it. we have made history. blue the dog here for propane. you know, i'm just a humble dog. i didn't attend the elite boarding kennels, but i do know that nothing beats the freedom of living out here with propane, people can live where they want, and just as cozy as they want. whether it's a hot bath (no thank you), a warm bedroom, or a perfectly grilled steak. drop it, drop it, drop it proudly independent. proudly american. proudly propane are those made with all-beef, karen? yeah, they're hebrew national. but unlike yours, they're also kosher. kosher? yeah, they're really choosy about what goes in. so, only certain cuts of kosher beef meet their strict standards and then they pick the best from that. oh man! what'd we do? they're all ruined. help yourself! oh no, we couldn...okay tha

that's pretty typical of bernie sanders. he'd go in a back room and still be adjusting at the last minute. it's going to be a lot about the movement and less about hillary clinton. >> we have a lot to cover. thank you so much. as e we just talked about, we are picking up with that breaking news. the word we just got in the last 15 minutes right before the official start of the democratic national convention that the chairwoman debbie wasserman shultz, congresswoman from florida, is not going to be the one at 4:00 p.m. to gavel in the official start of the dnc. she did tender her resignation, but it was this morning the florida delegation she received cheers and jeers and it was a precursor of what could happen tonight here because if that's her hometown crowd, wait until she sees all the bernie folks that will be in here tonight. >> we know we're going to make

to bernie sanders during the primary. they are ideal logically opposed to much of what she believes in, and tim kaine lines up better with hillary clinton than she does with bernie sanders. so if this was an effort to assuage those concerns, it wasn't. i think the clinton campaign wouldn't apologize for that. >> they didn't get the floor fight they wanted. >> bob, you know this, there's a big difference between the republican convention and a democratic convention every four years, which is the democrats have way more delegates. the floor of a democratic convention is a messier place, period, than a republican convention just because of the numbers. so there could be some things that go on tonight that don't look great on tv. >> that's because they're all inclusive. you have to walk out there. i don't. no, you know, a lot of this is super delegates. i mean i was there at the birth of super delegates. we've added to them ever since, and there are extra delegates. you got to remember, you got to go back to the mississippi d

i like bernie sanders. i'm a nonpracticing jew. we were raised jewish, and have an affinity with jewish people but my relationship with god is my business. >> make several points difference with my peeps. my southern baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a jew and an atheist. >> just because you don't participate in organized religion doesn't mean you don't believe in god. that's highly offensive. it offends me. i'm not a person who wears my religion on my sleeve. but it also offends me. i don't know how bernie feel bus i don't like it. >> governor richardson, clinton campaign manager mook suggesting that the russians leaked this to help trump. what's more significant in your mind? >> look, they are offensive. i agree with governor rendell. bernie sanders has been an upfront, positive presidential candidate. i think at the same time, look at the timing here. wikileaks, no friend of the clintons. the russians, i don't know if there's an involvement there. i'm not -- i don't have access to some of this intelligence. but t

bernie sanders is bernie sanders. -- people weres feeling this. and analysis was very powerful because it came out of the tenor of who that man is. host: what do you think, in terms of -- he is an independent. why is he always stayed an independent? wouldn't it be easier to run in the democratic side? guest: he has carved out his own identity. and the that the agency ability to make criticisms. not just over republicans but also democrats. tot: we say good morning june on the democrat line. caller: i want to say that i am so ashamed of every superdelegate who declared early. they are a privileged class. the country wants donald trump, they can have him. i am voting for -- who aligns with bernie sanders. they would have been a great team. i am voting for the green party with jill stein. i marched in vietnam and i'm making a political statement again. georgia on the democrat line, fichter. good morning. caller: good morning. i have a question and comment. i think the e-mails has been completely distorted and people have missed the importance of the

bernie sanders was wonderful last night. he not only says that hillary clinton has embodied most, if not all, of the issues. the platform reflects that. he also said, do not stay home. do not not vote. that is not what i, bernie sanders, want to see you do. it was a very important message. that. all of them will do if that happens, we definitely can count on a victory. katty: we are in today 2 -- we are into day 2. the bernie sanders have to quite down and support hillary clinton's name. fabulousight was a night for democrats. with cory booker, hillary clinton, with michelle obama, the first lady -- absolutely amazing. talking about how donald trump is not a role model for our children, and how barack and michelle have worked hard to develop kind and respectful children. i think it was a fantastic night. i am not that worried. yes, delegates, some of them will not go along even with bernie sanders, they boo him too. i do not think it will be lasting. katty: bill clinton's speech? chief willainer in do a great job. i've heard

bernie sanders supporters are very angry. the big question tonight is can the party unite or might the sanders supporters stage a revolt. i'm coming to you live here in philadelphia. we have growing protests going on right here. much more than anybody thought they would be an bigger and bigger than we thought the republican convention. they are largely driven by sanders supporters. they come as a democratic party is clearly a split after months of claiming supposedly unity. >> [inaudible] is the one you can barely hear her because protesters are drowning out the speech. they have learned that she will not even be able to gavel and these festivities. she is up resigning over e-mails that they say she stacked the deck. in response bernie sanders is meeting with his supporters today trying to stick to the positive message that he has been showing as of late. much to his supporters and dismay dismay they are angry and they don't like hillary. >> immediately, right now we have got to defeat donald trump. and we have to elect hilla

anyway, that was bernie sanders. he was talking to chuck todd about the party coming together on "meet the press" this morning. that was before we learned the big news today. the dnc chair debbie wasserman-schultz is going to be stepping down effective the end of the convention. she says she will still ceremonially gavel it. she will address the delegates. there could be some theater there. worth noting, sanders' supporters from a couple of weeks ago, polling showed 85% of them saying they are on board with clinton. less than 10% siding with donald trump right now. let's bring in the panel now. joined by howard fineman for huffington post, april bryan, washington chief for urban american networks. all the back and forth these past few months between the clinton and sanders' campaigns and between the sanders campaign and the dnc. let's start with you, howard. look, big picture here. the intent on the part of the clinton campaign, which is really organizing this convention is let's get this wasserman-schultz ing out of

you've got to give bernie sanders his due. he said even after losing new york, after losing california, i'm taking my political revolution to philadelphia. what ended up having last night, he took his political revolution to philadelphia and had an entire night almost devoted to him. >> it's interesting, the night devoted to him and michelle obama talked about when hillary clinton lost, she didn't get bitter and she didn't go against the party. bernie sanders, who i think the people affectionately see as this kind of occur kerr mudgen guy, tried to stand up to what got him to the dance. >> this is a higher bar, given he has come from outside the party, how many supporters are outside the party. hillary clinton was someone who still might have been having an eye on the white house after losing in 2008 and who was a true blue democrat, somebody who i'm going to do what's right for the democratic party so a little difference there. >> all right. we've got bill clinton tonight, and also have mothers of people who have been killed

who was pulled to the last by senator bernie sanders and his followers. tim kaine is pro life and supports pablo sandoval -- partial birth abortion plan. >> i take a common catholic position, the right rule for government is to let william make their own decisions. >> said assault weapons ban is not an of fox25ive way to limit gun crime. i have voted for it. there is a bet way to go at the problem and that is limitation on the size of magazines and ammunition clips. >> tim kaine supported offshore drilling and assigned a repeal for taxes and the pro trade position is getting back lash from the left "with the vote for fast track authority for job killing trans pacific partnership and the newly uncovered public for bank deregulation make tim kaine our vice presidential candidate could be potentially disasterous to defeat donald trump in the fall." tim kaine said there is no comparison. >> i will campaign. the differences for trump are clear especially around issues of do we pull together as a nation or try to divide the nation. >> degrees hoping for a more

row sayre ya dawson is in town to show her support for bernie sanders. bill anderson -- mc hammer in the hallway. if you're wondering where to catch celebrity sightings rittenhouse may be your best we. >> they'll be staying at the rittenhouse hoe physical. they'll be staying at the ritz. i mean the ritz is so luxurious and also the logan which is so luxurious. so and those three hotel don't have delegates staying in them much that's big clue to me. >>> while many of these celebrities are attending private clubs and parties, they are closed to the public and to the media. >> good luck getting in. thank you for joining us for this you decide special. we'll have extended coverage for you every night this week. >> our team coverage picks up at 4am with good day. ♪ is the world truly ready for a vehicle that can drive itself? an autonomous-thinking automobile that protects those inside and outside. ready or not, the future is here. the all-new e-class. self-braking, self-correcting, self-parking. a mercedes-benz concept car that's already a reality. mercede

if we sat down with the bernie sanders people. we came together with the most progressive platform he's ever seen. marriage equality, you get to love who you want to love and marry them. we have immigration reform. we say parenthood, you're safe. and congress, keep your hands off. so look, we're for the environment. we're for workers. i want minimum wage. i bet when you talk to the bernie sanders people and you talk to the hillary people, more importantly, when you talk to the american people, that's the kind of agenda. they can all wrap their arms around. >> when you see sanders supporters marching outside this building, there are people actively marching. they did it yesterday. more than we ever saw in cleveland. what do you make of that? does it matter if those folks never come around? >> i see as democracy. this is a great country in which you can speak your mind and this is the democratic party. we should listen to all of those voices. i'll tell you what. we have been listening and bringing our party together. i think you're

bernie sanders supporters are angry. we are here to find out why. >> i don't want either one, and if i had to pick the lesser of two evils, i bet a lot of people would pick donald trump rather than hillary clinton. she is above the law. she can get away with anything she wants. donald trump is not. if you does something crazy, i am sure the people will stand up and do something about it. >> hillary is not doing anything to earn our votes. she could have picked a vice president who was progressive, and she didn't. reporter: if everyone who was behind bernie decides to stay away, you could have donald trump as a president. >> i am not willing to blame trump's presidency on bernie supporters. >> if hillary loses, i blame the dnc. >> nothing changed. they live a little to the left and then go back right to the right. reporter: does it matter that he endorsed hillary clinton? >> i think he did what he thought he had to do to keep a movement going. arenai am joined in the by our north american editor, jon sopel. john, staggeri

she had a hard primary against bernie sanders. there's a question as to whether or not the country is ready even though we have hit this milestone today. >> you know my view. if this country was ready to elect a black guy whose middle name is husain -- >> we'll find out. there is one tiny fly in the ointment about this story we are telling about what just happened with bernie sanders. which is that bernie sanders did not literally call for hillary clinton's nomination to be by acclimation. >> marcia fudge did. >> yes. what bernie sanders was say thank you, madam chair, i move the convention suspend the procedural rules, i move that all votes cast by the delegates be reflected in the official record and i move that hillary clinton be selected as the nominee of the democratic party for president of the united states. he did not technically move for her to be nominated by acclimation which means unanimously. we will bring in steve kornacki into the conversation. is this a picayune point? >> this is for history, this is why we just ha

>> i prefer bernie sanders. i'm pledged to bernie sanders and i'm voting for bernie sanders. >> reporter: the hard line has led to some exasperation. >> 90% of what bernie wanted he got in the platform. >> even among some sanders' backers like sarah silverman. >> to the bernie or bust people, you're being ridiculous. >> reporter: if most unifying figure so far may have been the first lady. >> because of hillary clinton, my daughters and all of sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. >> reporter: with his speech last night and the role he's about to play, bernie sanders is providing democrats with something that republican ted cruz was reluctant to give his party last week, confirmation that former rivals are now enthusiastically working together to defeat a common opponent, scott. >> pelley: nancy cordes, thank you. there's been a lot of high spirit around the roll call vote, and the state of rhode island is pledging its delegates now. it will not be long befor
