Welcome to cbs this morning, as you wake up in the west. Hillary clinton is on capitol hill for what could be an allday grilling. She arrived a short time ago for a special House Committee hearing on the deadly benghazi attacks in 2012. Her use of a private email server for state Department Business is also likely to come up. A new poll nearly half of americans believe clinton has not been honest about how she handled emails at shoves but over half the people surveyed are tired of hearing about it. Nancy cordes is live from capitol hill with new details on what to expect. Reporter good morning. Secretary clinton has arrived. The hearing is scheduled to start right now. Hundreds of people have been lined up for hours waiting to witness her undergo hours of questioning about a tragedy that happened on her watch. An aide says shell argue you can never fully eliminate the risks of overseas diplomacy. People try to say its about Hillary Clinton. Its not. Reporter Committee Member martha roby says she wants to ask clinton why requests for more security were turned down by the state department. Thats an important piece. That happened while secretarial clinton was secretary of state. We hope shell answer that question. Reporter the last time clinton testified about benghazi, almost three years ago, she lost her patience in the face of republicans questioning about talking points. What difference at this point does it make . Reporter Committee Democrat adam schiff predicts republicans will take a more measured approach than they might have a month ago. I think in order to dispel the claims that were made by their own members that this is all about secretary clinton, an effort to damage her, i think at least initially theyll keep a focus on benghazi. Reporter democrats and a couple of gop lawmakers have said publicly that the panel is a partisan effort to damage the Democratic Front runner. They initially wanted to hold two hearings, one about benghazi, another about her use of a private email account, something the committee uncovered when it asked the state department for her emails. Democrats argue her emails have nothing to do with the committees stated purpose, to investigate the benghazi attacks that left four americans dead. You say its not about Hillary Clinton, but democrats say this is the first public hearing youve held with anyone in nine months. Its been a while. But the state department has been stonewalling. They are the ones who have been dragging their feet. Reporter clinton has not had a public event since the weekend, as she prepares for this hearing that could go eight hours or longer. And she knows, norah, that even one unfortunate comment will be played in republican ads between now and election day. Thank you so much, nancy. You can watch gavel to gavel coverage of clintons testimony live all day today on our digital network, cbsn. This morning the democratic president ial race focuses again on Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Vice President Joe Biden ended months of speculation yesterday, saying he will not run. A new poll shows the latest on the democratic race in iowa. The Des Moines RegisterBloomberg Politics poll shows Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders 48 to 41 . Major garrett is at the white house, where joe biden made the announcement. Reporter good morning. The scene his historic. For the First Time Ever president obama attended an event in the rose garden and said nothing. The stage was joe bidens, one he would never command again. It was a moment tinged with sadness for joe biden loyalists, because he told the country the window had closed. I believe were out of time, the time necessary to mount a Winning Campaign for the nomination. Reporter biden has seriously pondered a president ial race since august. He appeared to have momentum, and a draft biden effort aired two tv commercials just in case. You deserve a president who will never quit on you. Reporter but biden hesitated for weeks. It became a public spectacle. Bidens potential rival, Hillary Clinton, turned in a Strong Performance in this months first democratic debate, and bidens poll numbers began to slide, forcing him to face reality. While i will not be a candidate, i will not be silent. Reporter biden did not endorse clinton and said this about her halfjoking debate reference about republicans as enemies. Theyre opposition. Theyre not our enemies. For the sake of the country, we have to work together. Reporter in a statement, clinton called biden a great Vice President , adding, history isnt finished with joe because he will be fighting for all of us. Campaigning in iowa, gop frontrunner donald trump said biden got it right. Biden is not running. And i think he did the smart thing, because frankly i dont know that he would have won, he wouldnt have gotten the nomination. I dont think i probably would have. And frankly, i really want to run against hillary. I really do. Reporter that was always the fear among those closest to biden, that a third run for the presidency would fail, and that could tarnish not only his time here at the white house but possibly his entire political career. Now biden will return to familiar assignments for this president , keeping an eye on ukraine and iraq and trying to cut a deal or two with congressional republicans. Major, thank you so much. A key conservative group in Congress Says it will back paul ryan to be speaker of the house. It now appears ryan will have enough votes to be elected next week. The former Vice President ial candidate says he will only take the job if the factions support him, because the Freedom Caucus supported him after a meeting last night. But some say they are not willing to meet ryans preconditions for serving. Ben carson now leads the gop field in iowa. Thats according to the Quinnipiac University poll out this morning. Carson has 28 support. Trump has 20 . That same poll showed donald trump with a 6point lead last month. Face the nation host John Dickerson is here. Good morning, john. Good morning. We want to talk about benghazi and Hillary Clinton today. What might be expected and what are the stakes for her . Imagine a day full of dental surgery where you have to keep smiling. Thats her task. I think what to watch for is that one moment nancy mentioned. It will be a full day of testimony, four rounds of questioning. And she has to basically be calm and measured throughout, so that there is not going to lead the evening news thats going to show her losing her cool. She needs the opposite. This is her last big obstacle for the month of october. What was at the heart of joe bidens decision not to run . This is kind of the way he makes decisions. The heart of it was the emotional reaction to his sons death. At the very heart of it, i think, he just couldnt pull it off. Hillary clinton is a formidable candidate. To raise the money and put together an organization in the thick of a campaign, just too difficult for him to do. On tuesday he met with his political advisors and said there was a question, can we raise the money in time. I think there was my understanding is there was a question whether they could put the fundamentals in place. Thats right. What they knew is even if they could do it, it was going to be really hard. Its very hard to build a campaign while youre running a campaign. Campaigns that have tried to do that have mostly failed in the past. He said yesterday, he ran out of time, but people wonder is that the real story. Does his dropping out give Hillary Clinton a clear path . It would look like it. Shes got endorsements within the party. Shes doing well in the polls. Shes got lots of money. This would have been a challenge to her candidacy, but now, with just Bernie Sanders, shes got a lot of support in those future states. Tough in new hampshire, close in iowa. But if you run down the rest of the states in the democratic contest, shes doing very well. Joe biden is really obsessed and committed to finding a cure for cancer. Thats right. If his son asked him to run for president , and that was going to be the mission for the rest of his life, he has now put a new mission in front of him. For a person whos been in politics in washington since 1970, who has been committed to his ascent, this might be a new crusade for him. What about the same question in iowa . Ben carson trumping donald trump. Carson is on top, perhaps it means a conflict between the two of them. Also, ted cruz very far behind. Hes behind even marco rubio in iowa. Ben carson is the headline, but also, what happened to ted cruz in iowa . Lots to talk about, john, thanks very much. John will be the moderator for the cbs news democratic president ial debate. Watch it on november 14th, 6 00 p. M. Pacific time, here on cbs. Breaking news on an American Military raid to rescue isis hostages inside iraq. One american was killed.
