Hi im Steve Clemons and i have a question is the Democratic Party in the mother of all wars with itself lets get to the bottom line. So after months of debates about health care about whether a woman can be president about billionaires and about americas legacy of racism and social division about russia and its election meddling or about china now and the coronavirus the Democratic Party is finally getting closer to picking a candidate who will face off against republican President Donald Trump in november the process has been a battle for the soul of the party wait not really just the soul but the deep soul which now seems split between the establishment represented by former Vice President joe biden and the revolution championed by senator Bernie Sanders so which way will this all go and which candidate has a better chance of inspiring americans and more crucially getting them to the voting polls and leading his party to victory i emphasize his as a bunch of hers have already been kn

I really dont have any opening remarks and i welcome all of our colleagues here to these introductions andill turn it over to senator feinstein. Mister chairman.
