Sources familiar tell nbc news some of the top democrats set to address the convention include president biden, former presidents obama and clinton and former secretary of state hillary clinton. All this as new polling shows a deeply competitive race between vice president harris and former president trump. Harris polling four points ahead of trump in three key swing states michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. Still, however, within the margin of error. Joining us now, nbc news senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez, nbc news correspondent dasha burns.

You may have seen their agenda part of it is called project 2025 now, can you believe they put that in writing 900 pages of it project 2025? a plan to return america to a dark past they intend to cut medicare to repeal are $35 cap on insulin two, eliminate the department of education to end programs like head start which would take away preschool hundreds of thousands of children in our communities let s be clear this represents an outright attack on our children, our families, and our future these extremist want to take us back.

The united states that used to be more receptive to him in the past told. He may be popular with certain republicans, but i don t think he has a cache back in the states, he s a polarizing figure in the united states just as he is in israel.

For christians, this is the place where jesus was crucified. For muslims, jerusalem is where the prophet muhammed made the night journey. People who are said to have conquered the world have swept through this city. No other individual changed the landscape in the way herod the great did. Saladin was determined to take on the christians and throw them out of jerusalem. At a time of ottoman/islamic rule, the british badly wanted to control the holy land. The main case of the arabs is against the british government policy in palestine. We are the only people in the world homeless and stateless. For israelis, the creation of the state of israel is seen as a miracle. And of course for the palestinians, it s a gre
