welcome to all. >> you want us here in the united states, canada, and all around the world. i'm kimberly hoover. this is cnn newsroom, us president joe biden meets with donors insisting he can lead democrats to victory in november. but now another media outlet says it's time for him to step aside following thursday's presidential debate french voters head to the polls for the first round. the parliamentary elections, one that could see the far-right form the next government. boss, the season's first hurricane races sores the caribbean and it's only growing stronger loveliest on beryl and where it's expected to hit night from atlanta this is cnn the newsroom with kim brunhuber after spending time at camp david to prepare for the debates, joe biden is now at the presidential retreat to spend time with his family following his poor performance. >> but there's no getting away from the calls for him to end his campaign. and those calls just got louder. sources tell cnn that the family gathering isn't aimed at making a decision on that. still, we're told the topic of just how badly the debate went is expected to come up. and these are the people who more than anyone hold significant influence over such decisions. biden and vice president kamala harris spent part of saturday trying to reassure donors that he is still the best candidate for the democratic party at a fundraiser saturday, biden told those gathered so that he'll fight harder. no he'll need to the largest newspaper here in the battleground state of georgia is the latest to call for biden to drop out of the race. the atlanta journal constitution editorial board writing, if he displays the courage and dignity that have defined his political career, you might follow in the footsteps of the nation's first president and welcome his retirement secure in the knowledge that he again served his country with a honore hours later, former atlanta mayor and senior advisor with the biden campaign. kecia lands bottoms, slam the hvac in a tweet saying, please stick to covering the news instead of trying to make it and let the voters decide, while the hvac joins the new york times, the new yorker magazine, and the chicago tribune in calling for the present n, his campaign. cnn's arlette science has more on the presence, latest efforts to put the debate behind him president biden sought to reassure anxious donors after his debate performance, telling a group at a new jersey fundraiser, the he's ready to fight harder in this campaign, the president spent saturday with the first lady attending three fundraiser there isn't the hamptons in new jersey at each of those events. >> he acknowledged his poor debate performance, but try to assure donors that his candidacy remains on track. it comes as biden's advisers have fielded phone calls from anxious democrats and donors concerned about the state of the race and what it could mean to keep biden at the top of the democratic ticket? for that debate. performance sources tell cnn that democrats are conducting polling and research over the weekend and early next week to try to gauge the exact impact that debate will have on this reelection bid. they said they're not just looking at biden's reelection bid, but also how senate democrats who are in competitive races could be affected as well. now the biden campaign so far has doubled down on the fact that president biden is remaining in the 2024 race. they say that he intends to debate donald trump in september. and a memo from the biden campaign's chair, jen o'malley, dillon said that they believe but this will be a very close race, but do believe that their team will put in the work to help joe biden beat donald trump in november. now president biden is going to spend saturday at camp david with the first lady and other members of their family all at a time when many questions are swirling about what could come next for biden in this campaign are let sin ions, cnn traveling with the president in new york we're voters at a rally in washington, dc on saturday, said there are disappointed in the president biden's performance, but some of them say that's not their top concern in this year's election. they turned out for this event put together by the poor people's campaign there he looked fatigued and he looked as if he wasn't capable of the job in terms of the debate, debt night my hope is that he'll recover. >> it will have a very vigorous debating season and campaign seasons where, where he will be able to articulate more clearly with the level of vigor i think at this point, while have our canada's are of a similar age and i'm less worried about that and more worried about what they say they're going to do. >> you should not be saving, you're 8-years-old in office? no. you're out of touch things evolve, people evolve times change. you need to change too, but they don't want you because you're stuck in their old ways, the reason why it doesn't concern me is because of his integrity where his heart is and where his integrity lies is with the american people and it's not withdrawal trauma he's for himself he's forward the billionaire class all he wants is more wealth and joining us now from lancaster, england is richard johnson. he's a lecturer in u.s. politics at queen mary university of london. thanks so much for being here with us. so we just heard some measured views there, but it's impossible to ignore the growing sense of panic among i'm a crafts strategists are racing around conducting new polls. the presence, meeting with his family this weekend, dewey, do you expect them to make any big announcement that perhaps he will step aside? i mean, the timetable i've been hearing is he's got a week to prove himself and the important to keep in mind is the convention. beginning on the 19th of august. and you have at the moment you're biden is not the democratic nominee. that will be a choice made by the convention the convention consists of about 4,000 delegates. now, joe biden has 99% of those delegates are pledged to joe biden. the rules of the democratic party say that those delegates should vote in good conscience for the candidate that they have pledged to vote for. but they don't actually have to vote for biden. that was a rule that was changed in the 1980s after ted kennedy's challenge of jimmy carter. it's called the robot rural by critics, said you just have to robotically vote for who you are pledged to vote for. so there is some room for biden's own delegates to vote against him, but i think it's unlikely that they would vote against him and so the question really then is a much more closer question, much more proximate question, which is, would joe biden himself? pulled back and in effect open up the process for a replacement? exactly right and if he were to i mean looking at some of the editorials written one on one of the many blows was that new york times editorial. and in it they wrote, there are democratic leaders better equipped to present clear compelling, and energetic alternatives to a second trump presidency. but is that true? i mean, one of the problems is the lack of a clear successor normally it would be the vice president, but as has been pointed out many times, her numbers are actually worse than the precedence that i think is exactly the problem that has been the problem all along. i think joe by there was a chance that joe biden might have been voluntarily a one-term president. he ran for president 2020, saying that he'd be abridged the future when he selected kamala harris we years ago as his vice presidential nominee, many people thought that in effect he was going to prepare her to be his successor. but from the start of his presidency, doubts emerged about her ability to connect with the electorate perceptions of her competence and so on some fast, some not so fat and i think joe biden and effect decided at some point during his presidency that kamala harris would not be a strong candidate against donald trump. and that determination really, i think meant that he had to run for reelection because biden couldn't say i'm not going to run for reelection. but i also don't have confidence in my vice president to succeed me as the nominee and that is i think still his problem right now is i think probably the biggest barrier to him pulling back. this, his lack of confidence and kamala harris. but then if there's a groundswell for somebody else, let's say if they were to i guess leap frog her metaphorically, there would there be a danger of alienating certain groups of voters and the party essentially tearing itself apart exactly. so then, so then the problem becomes okay, well, in theory, biden could say actually i want us to have a fully open convention. i released my delegates. i want them to listen to the speeches. perhaps we'll have some cnn debates in the next few weeks between potential candidates. my delegates can listen to those debates. the problem with that is that kamala harris will have a strong following within the party, maybe not enough to win the nomination. and her supporters will fail, will feel to a certain extent, rightly aggrieved that the person who's selected her to be the next in line for the presidency right now, doesn't feel comfortable saying that i think she should be the next president in january of next year, and then the risk for the democrats becomes depressed. turnout in november. and this is a all hands on deck election. the democrats need everyone, all of their supporters to turn out they don't have the luxury of key constituencies staying home or having lethargic turnout in november. and that i think is the risk of a messy nomination contest. wasn't i? i listed all of the left-leaning media that are calling for president bind to stand down after that debate but we haven't seen the same mobilization by the right-wing basically calling for donald trump to stand down after, after he was convicted. i mean, the double standards, it seems particularly acute here the certainly is a double standard and you can look at, we can maybe go back to say 2016 actually, when the access hollywood tape came out and trump spoken appalling ways about treating women there were calls at that time for trump to stand down. i think if you look back at the media commentary around that time, people effectively thought trump would be, would be toast and the election. trump's inner circle told him to just plow on, to ignore it. the fundamentals of the election were what mattered more in that sense, they were vindicated. i think the republicans took a certain lesson from that. and i wonder if the biden in a circle, will take a similar lesson. obviously it's a very different set of circumstances but the biden campaign might, might basically say, look what really matters is the fundamentals of the election the economy the fact that you have been the president, people know you can be president because you are the prison at the moment and i think there is a chance that biden does pull through. i'm not saying it's the right decision for november, but i think that there will be strong voices who might even look at the trump example and say, you can weather this storm and still when healey, a fascinating a window of decision, as you spoke up there, as we see what happens, richard johnson. thank you so much for urinalysis. really appreciate it. >> thank you a french voters are going to the polls in the first round of high-stakes snap parliamentary elections, president emmanuel macron's party is facing challenges from both the country's far-right and left-wing coalition. >> my quantum called the vote after a centrist alliance was defeated by the far-right in european parliament fluxions earlier this month, a second round of votes will be held on july 7 cnn's saskia of run door and has been falling developments and has more from paris would lose schwa name for bold news. >> but nobody saw this bombshell coming. >> should diesel don't swa, lesson bulinus, you're not french president emmanuel macron cool surprise, cool for snap elections. after his party is defeated the hands of the french far-right in the eu elections. caught everyone off guard. even his prime minister if his bet pays off, he'll go down as a brilliant strategist strata decision who when everybody else thought that he was doing something ridiculous, he had really done something that was amazing for his party. >> if not, i think he will go down in history as somebody who essentially exploded the traditional party system in france so why did maximum do it with a centrist coalition lacking the majority and already struggling to get parliament. >> observers say a no confidence vote, voting happens over two rounds with the french electric heading to the ballot boxes to send 500 i didn't 77 mps to the national assembly macron's announcement sent parties and politicians scrambling to form coalitions. his biggest threat, france's far-right national rally, seen as russia friendly and skeptical of the eu. the party has led by marine le pen's acolyte, 28-year-old, jordan bardella he's a strong contender for france's next prime minister, a role that the president appoints from the party that wins a majority other challenges include the new popular front, a new coalition of socialists, communists, greens, and the far left. you want to officially recognize the state of palestine this man, don't need to do, all you cannot current prime minister gabriella tell who's only been in the job five months. now, back on the campaign trail from somrat peddling a message of economic stability she's all, for whoever francis new prime minister is. they will stand shoulder to shoulder with mecole on the world stage in less than a month's time as paris hosts the olympic games this political uncertainty, it has spilled onto the streets. a quarter of 1 million people, much throughout france in recent weeks to oppose the national rally my cuomo's political gamble in dissolving the parliament hurts his legacy in serious jeopardy. his last years in office could be plagued by political uncertainty or worse, he could be remembered as the french president who paved the way to the fall, right? saskia van don, cnn, paris several caribbean islands including barbados and granada, are bracing for impact as beryl, the first hurricane of this season's atlantic season is expected to turn across the windward islands later tonight or monday is now located north of french guyana army you're all just allison chinchar explains why the storm is so serious that's right. beryl is now the first tropical system to reach hurricane strength for the 2024 atlantic hurricane season. and it's actually expected to intensify even more of the major hurricane status over the next day or so. now, one of the things to note though, is the average first second name storm usually doesn't occur until july 17 than the average date of the first hurricane isn't usually until august 11. so beryl is really in very rare territory here. and one of the main reasons for that is how warm the sea surface temperatures are. on average, the location of beryl is running about three to five degrees above average, and that may not seem like that much, but it's just enough to really allow storms like this to flourish in these very warm conditions, also two to note, it's very aware of where it developed this far east of the windward islands early into the season's say, for example, june is not very common, so it's not just that it's strengthened very quickly, but also the location in which it formed make this a very uncommon storm. now, it's expected to make its way towards the windward islands over the next 12 to 24 hours. and by late sunday or even early monday they this storm is forecast to get two major hurricane strength as it makes its way into the caribbean seat. we already have watches and warnings in place for the windward islands, but several other locations may end up seeing some additional watches and warnings take place as the storm continues to track westward in the coming days u.s. strives to revive the ceasefire proposal for gaza. after i hit a stumbling block still ahead a new diplomatic moved by washington to try to get israel and hamas on the same page stay with us why choose asleep numbers smart bad?
