The weather is the big story were talking about tonight. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 10 00. An update from amelia in a few minutes. Nbc has learned that Donald Trumps campaign has moved into potential running plates. Mike pence and Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie and senator bob corker. Trump wont release his pick but released the names of some speakers. My children are going to be speaking at a convention. Ivanka, tiffany, my wife will speak. Were going to have a great time. Significant because Melania Trump rarely appears on the campaign trail and she doesnt get in front of a microphone all that often. Well, theres a lot of speculation about Hillary Clintons running mate as well. Well get into that as chuck todd, meet the press moderator look, there has been a lot of people questioning whether Loretta Lynch should recuse herself because as attorney general, it was bill clinton who appointed her, barack obama appointed her. Obviously obama supports the clintons. Theres been a lot of chatter about whether she can be fair. Then this tarmac meeting. The appearance looks awful. You sit there and think what was bill clinton doing this. At the time, i guess you can see how maybe youre not thinking in that moment, just trying to be polite but she had to make the move she made today which is saying whatever they recommend, i will make that the decision. I wont get involved in it. I think she had to do that. I think she should have done it weeks ago. Campaign is not happy about this at all and they are upset about bill clinton and it could mean some changes of always a very senior political aide always at his side for the rest of his campaign. They are talking about a possible vp pick and a dust up over tim kaine back when he was in office. Did elizabeth warrens appearance on that campaign trail with Hillary Clinton, did that change the calculus . I dont know if it did. If it did, she may have heard herself and i would say that was the first time weve seen a standing only room crowd. Was she too effective . Look, it was borrowed energy and theres that line you want your vp to excite the party but not be overshadowed by your vp and i think theres some line was going to get picked. I do think that she does excite the base and i think the Clinton Campaign is using the idea to fire upc supporters. Is there still the lingering Bernie Sanders is he going to, at any point, start helping her . I dont know because he has said hes going to vote for her. But he said hes also not ready to say hes endorsing her. Now, the first draft of the democratic platform is out. Sanders got a couple of things that he wanted. 15 minimum wage is in there. Hillary clinton got what she wanted. It doesnt have opposition ttp which is something that Bernie Sanders wants in it and she doesnt but the person who really doesnt want it in there is barack obama.
