call now and we'll come to you a11, a21, 4,000 for on the debate stage to the campaign trail. >> soon former president trump expected to deliver remarks at his rally in chesapeake, virginia, speaking for the first time since last night debate, watched by some 48 million people. president biden also holding campaign events today. he's currently on his way to new york after rallying in north carolina, where he gave a high-energy speech before a crowd of supporters know how to do this job i don't want to get things done i know like millions of americans know. >> when you get knocked down, you get back out i get my words, the biden i would not be running again if i didn't believe with all my heart and soul, i can do this job that high-energy appearance, of course, in stark contrast to what we saw last night in the cnn debate, as we cover both candidates on the trail today, we want to start with cnn's kristen holmes following former president trump in virginia. >> kristen, what should we expect when he addresses the correct crowd well, we are told that he's going to address the debate last night. remember we actually haven't heard from the former president almost at all. there had been rumored speculation please, somebody might come to the spin room. he might do some interviews after the debate. when i asked senior adviser last night could he be doing that, they said, why would we end on that note? we'll already feeling we've ended on a high note. they believed that they won last night's debate burnt number of reasons is not just because we've seen from democrats or because we have seen on social media. but it's actually because of donald was brahms for forman because remember, they were pretty concerned and nervous going into the debate, there were a lot of questions as to whether or not donald trump goods by day odd message. they had spent days preparing the former president, drilling down that what he had to do was just talk about several issues that he pulled ahead president joe biden on and they believe that he delivered now whether or not the american people, the american voters believed that donald trump one last night's debate does a reminder the former president views everything in terms firms of winners and losers. now all or some of his allies. but i've spoken to say they hope that yes, he take a victory lap, but that he spent most of his time focused on the issues we are not mana debate setting today. we are in a rally full of rabbit, trump's supporters use energy. we will be feeding off of. so really unclear how far hill go when he goes after biden over the debate. will certainly be interesting to see kristen. i appreciate it. i cannot not acknowledge that the lionel richie is a very interesting choice at that rally there in terms of campaign music, i love lionel but it is bleeding through that. i feel like we had to acknowledge cnn's arlette saenz is lowing the pace stout right now, one imagine what would imagine thank you, my friend. cnn's arlette saenz covering the biden campaign the york, as we noted, the president making his way there, of course, after that rally in north carolina where it was a very different joe biden, what we saw on the stage last night, what are you hearing it? this error from the case? campaign or lead lawyer got president biden was very clearly attempting to have a reset on the campaign trail with that north carolina rally see, but it's still comes as there are questions about what his path forward will be in the race so far biden's at the president himself and his advisers have showed that there are no signs sent him backing down from this 2024 race, even as there are some democrats in private who are crushed questioning whether he should remain at the top of the ticket. but president biden step on that campaign stage in raleigh, north carolina, really offering a much more fiery and impassioned performance sub perhaps something that his advisers had hoped he would demonstrate straight on the debate stage last night, instead of the halting and stumbling performance that happened to play out before millions of viewers last evening. on television. now, president biden and was also quite forceful in his attacks against trump during this north carolina rally, painting him as a direct threat to democracy. he even tried to you or he didn't use some leinz and he had tried to deploy last night in the debate, but once fallen flat when he was on that stage. but president bison and biden also acknowledged some of his own struggles with the debate. take a listen to how we frame this for voters i know i'm not a young man i don't walk as easy as i used to. >> i don't speak as smoothly that i used to. i don't do bad debate is well, as i used to well, i know what i do know i know how to tell the truth and we're told that biden's campaign team is actually having an all staff meeting at headquarters. >> and this afternoon that is something that typically plays out on fridays, but now it's taking on additional significance in the wake of this debate biden's advisers and spend part of the day working the phones. but democratic lawmakers and donors trying to ease some currents concerns and president biden actually just got some major backup from his former boss, former president barak obama, who posted on social media, quote, that debate nights happen. trust me, i know what this election is about someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life in someone who only cares about himself, it's an interesting reference as president obama actually floundered in his own first debate against mitt romney back into 2012, i was actually on hand 12 years ago with joe biden when he had to go out and do cleanup duty for president obama. so it's interesting the dynamics at play this time around, but president biden is now on his way here to new york city. he will be appearing at the stonewall inn, a historic ascites of the gay rights movement and also attend a fundraiser a little bit later this afternoon noon at this evening, with lgbtq supporters. and it comes at a time with the biden campaign is at least trying to highlight one bright, bright spot from last night. the campaign says they brought in 14 million on debate de in this morning trying to highlight some of that grassroots fundraising momentum instead, but there will be questions going forward about whether the president can maintain that fundraising, boost at a time when there are some concerns within the democratic party about whether he should remain at the top of the ticket are let appreciate it. >> thank you. and joining me now is democratic congressman robert garcia of california, who was on the biden campaign national advisory board. good to have you with us this afternoon. there is this day after debate, a hangover, if you will, that is plaguing the biden campaign. lot of conversations happening, many of them behind closed doors. i was struck by something though so the new york times call them missed tom friedman wrote saying, if this is the best performance they could sum and from him, it's time for joe biden to keep the dignity he deserves and leave the stage at the end of his term. with the country before himself is the president putting himself above the country absolutely not i mean, joe biden is one of the most committed public servants. >> we have ever had in this country. he has served his country honorably, not just as president, but as vice president, as a senator, he loves his country three, and he proves it every single day. i mean, what we have in front of us is a clear binary choice. we saw that last night. i was in atlanta. i saw the president. i saw him greeting his supporters. he is somebody that is out there telling the truth and what we hadn't donald trump is someone that told a lie after lie after lie. and i know that he wasn't able to be fast fact check on the spot, but he is being fact check now and we can see he lied in almost every single case to the american people. the american people are going to want someone that is being honest, that has a record. there's a good person and that is not a criminal. and let it literally an attack on the capitol in terms of those falses you're right. are in fact checking 30 false claims from former president trump, president biden had nine. are you concerned though that the president in real time was not able or unwilling to push back against those lies coming from donald trump in the moment i mean, look, my personal opinion is that debate moderators should be pushing back on only's no, that wasn't the format of the debate. but i think that president biden was there to talk about his record and to push back on donald trump and he would he focused on was lowering low and prescription cross talking about insulin to lower chlorine costume eventually then he got talking about his accomplishments. ensure that people remember that he is the candidate that supports a woman's right to choose and reminding the country about donald trump's role, horrific role in the attack on the capitol and in the insurrectionist that he now support. so some joe biden did that. i understand that he had a raspy voice. but like i've told folks who cares, we have a choice this november between someone that's a good person, a good president with a real record, a results. and someone that has brought shame on the presidency that is a convicted felon. and in my opinion also a trader to this country. and so joe biden is working hard hard to get elected. we just saw him in north carolina, the energy and fired. he brought to that rally and is gonna do that every single day jelly election were behind him 100%. >> it wasn't stark contrast, but we saw this afternoon that is clear and some of the lines that we heard from him, some of the delivery we were having having this conversation with historians would have made perhaps for a more forceful closing argument for the president last night, i'm curious, this though at the end of the day, what we saw last night, that really is a moment for the american people. >> the debate is for the voters to watch to your point, to make their decision based on what they saw i just want to play for you what some voters told cnn in reaction to the debate last night i think that his mental acuity is a lot better than biden's. >> biden seems to be very tired. >> i'm conservatives hesitant, very not cognitive. seemed like his data he was missing his numbers so very concerning that somebody i don't think that needs to lead our country so those were swing-state voters. they're from the state of michigan. are you concerned that joe biden lost votes last night no. >> luckily, the election is still months away. joe biden is going to work really hard to win every single note, especially in swing states. and there have been other focus groups. the car she, issued last night were actually joe biden excelled. we saw that happening with groups of latino undecided voters were latinos actually believed that joe biden came out on top of the debate that the he spoke to their issues versus someone that of course, attacks immigrants, attacks latinos, and doubled down on xenophobic rhetoric. again last night actually saying that we've somehow uncivilized the country. i mean, this is someone that is called latinos rapists and murderers. and so as an immigrant myself, i take offense to that and want to ensure that we support someone that's always stood up for our community, but also the country at large. and so there's going to be different polls and focus groups what really matters is moving forward, we had our best fundraising our on record from grassroots supporters post debate that tells you the grassroots is width. joe biden. were with joe biden. he's are nominee. i'm and i'm looking forward to the weeks ahead. >> congressman robert garcia. appreciate your time this afternoon. thank you. >> thank you. >> a key ruling from the supreme court paving the way for a number of january 6 rioters to have their cases reopen. so what does

against the former president smith's. they're basing it on that ruling today from the supreme court that says the justice department overstepped by filing obstruction charges against hundreds of people who rioted at the capitol on january 6. the decision is already prompting at least some of those cases to be reopened. today on social media and reaction trump declaring that decision was a big win, joining us to discuss markets, children's former january 6 committee investigative council, and john dean, former nixon white house counsel at markets. >> as you sat down, you were saying to us that you feel this is a soft blow perhaps, but maybe not as big a deal as some people are making it out to be dealt trump and his legal team thing this is a very big deal and could be very helpful to them. >> look whenever the trump team has, has an opportunity to make a filing right. to try to cast some doubt on the overall investigation. they're gonna do so. when i go back to what we were talking before, like the practicality of today's decision let's the folks who have been charged or pled guilty to crime from january 6, also pled guilty to other crimes such as fisher was charged with, for example, trying to get into the capitol violently, attacking law enforcement officer. so it's not just the 15, 12 c2 charges. other charges that prosecutors can still move forward with without including this exact charge and still arguing sentencing some pretty aggravating facts to hold these folks accountable from january 6, it's really important to note that john that there are so many of these defendants, the vast majority of them who are facing other charges. but in this particular case of trump, if he is able to get something dismissed here, the political impact of that, how he is going to puff that up. that's going to be huge. i mean, what do you think about that? >> i think it's very unlikely he's going to get dismissed as mark said, it's very it's a very limited ruling. it's been over-read and overplayed in the media so far, people have really gone to the granular level of looking at the impact of this. and it's going to be very nominal even on those who have pled guilty. for example, many of them had then there plea that if this ruling went against the existing law that would not change their status. so they could be charged again. so there is a lot of anticipation. this could come down. this has been out there during the prosecution and many of these a january 6 cases jack smith's was certainly aware of it when he filed his indictment, and i
