00:00from him multiple times after the debate, you know?
00:04The President, again, met with a small group of advisers
00:06on Saturday.
00:07Sunday, he made his final decision.
00:09That's how it worked.
00:10That's how it happened.
00:11And do you think tonight we'll get a better sense from him
00:12about what line of talk he's having?
00:13I would tune in tonight.
00:15I would let the President speak for himself in this moment.
00:20Given the level of support the Vice President has
00:23received from lawmakers, other Democrats, donors,
00:27the party in general, has the President
00:29expressed any sentiment that maybe he
00:31should have made his decision sooner
00:32and given her a longer timeline?
00:37What I will say is this was a difficult decision to make,
00:39a personal decision to make.
00:41And the President made it.
00:44And I will leave it at that.
00:45Has he given any advice at this point
00:48to the Vice President in her process
00:49of picking the running mate?
00:51They speak regularly.
00:52They speak often.
00:52Obviously, they've spoken a couple of times.
00:56And I'm not going to get into their private discussions, OK?
