president who can do that. who can gather up those pieces and bring the american people together. reporter: while others present themselves as fighters. when i got into the race for president, i know what i d be fighting for. i knew who i d be fighting for. reporter: with just 52 days to go before voting starts, candidates are in a fierce debate about what america will need in a post-trump world. what we need to do right now is galvanize, not polarize. butt jeej takiigieg taking a elizabeth warren. we will fight when we must fit but i will never allow us to get so wrapped up in the fighting that we start to think fighting is the point. reporter: biden echoing that message, criticizing the progressive candidate s approach on healthcare. these guys are saying, no, no, my way or the highway. warren hit back in a major speech in new hampshire. and without naming them, targeted biden. unlike some dem some
crocodiles in the water we don t need there. it is moving at a different pace also. we hope congress. i feel positive we ll get healthcare and taxes passed this year. bill: mitch mcconnell says healthcare has to be done until july 4th. not much time left before the summer breaks. what will they get done before that? shannon: the trump team says it s time to focus on jim comey and loretta lynch when it comes to the russia investigation. will that happen? i think the focus has to be on what we know has happened. what we know is that james comey when he testified confirmed that the he told the president on three separate occasions he was not under investigation regarding this russian probe.
in the senate what you have is you have i believe it is 10 republicans working behind closed doors to address one/sixth of the american policy. the average republican doesn t know what s in the legislation. my understanding is that it will be brought forth just immediately before we have to vote on it. democrats are expected to do a late night protest on the senate floor to rip the gop s approach on healthcare. bill: we ll watch to hear what happens then. thanks, mike. shannon: the white house rolling out the welcome mat hosting the president of panama. a range of vital issues including organized crime and illegal immigration. we expect to see the president meet up with him very soon.
