WE ARE STILL WAITING TO HEAR WHO THE FORMER PRESIDENT WILL CHOOSE AS HIS RUNNING MATE. NORTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR, DOUG BURGUM, SENATOR J.D. VANCE, AND SENATOR MARCO RUBIO ARE SAID TO BE ON THE SHORT LIST OF CANDIDATES. WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT. >>> TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN TRAVELED TO MICHIGAN AS PART OF HIS CAMPAIGN. NEXT WEEK, HE IS LAS VEGAS. HIS CAMPAIGN HAS TAKEN A HIT AFTER HIS DEBATE PERFORMANCE AND SEVERAL FUMBLES WITH NAMES YESTERDAY. CBS NEWS HAS CONFIRMED THAT ONE PRO-BIDEN SUPER PAC IS WITHHOLDING $90 MILLION IN SUPPORT WHILE WAITING TO SEE A PRESIDENT BIDEN CAN GAIN MORE SUPPORT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. >>> THIS MONDAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL TRAVEL TO AUSTIN TO COMMEMORATE THE 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. FELLOW DEMOCRAT LLOYD DOGGETT IS REPEATING HIS CALL FOR BIDEN TO STEP ASIDE. >> THAT WOULD BE A GREAT TIME FOR HIM TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON, PUTTING COUNTRY AHEAD OF SELF AND MAKE THE DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL DECISION AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF VALUED SERVICE TO SAY THAT HE WILL STEP ASIDE. >> THAT IS ONE REPRESENTATIVE'S VIEWPOINT. POLITICAL REPORTER JACK FINK HAS BEEN TALKING WITH NORTH TEXAS DEMOCRATS ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN'S RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN. >> CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS FROM NORTH TEXAS ARE SPLIT ON THIS. PRESIDENT BIDEN INSISTS HE REMAINS ALL IN ON RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION. EVEN SO, THE NEW YORK TIMES IS REPORTING THAT DONORS TO THE LARGEST PRO-BIDEN SUPER PAC HAVE PLACED $90 MILLION ON HOLD BECAUSE OF CONCERNS ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS ABILITY TO WIN IN NOVEMBER. THE DEVELOPMENT COMES AS A NUMBER OF LAWMAKERS AND CONGRESS: A PRESIDENT BIDEN TO STEP ASIDE CONTINUES TO GROW. IN NORTH TEXAS, ONE MEMBER OF CONGRESS, JASMINE CROCKETT, OF DALLAS, SAYS SHE IS STILL STANDING BY PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHILE ANOTHER MEMBER HAS LARGELY STAYED OUT OF THE FRAY, AND MARC VEASEY OF FORT WORTH SAYS THE PRESIDENT APPEARS TO BE IN BAD SHAPE, POLITICALLY, BUT THAT HE WON'T ASK MR. BIDEN TO LEAVE THE RACE. >> I DO THINK THAT HE HAS A LOT THAT IS GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IN ORDER FOR HIM TO BE CONSIDERED VIABLE IN THIS RACE AGAIN, AND I ALSO, TRULY BELIEVE, THAT HE HAS NOT DONE THAT YET. >> I STATED OVER AND OVER AND OVER, I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY POSITION. >> FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE JUNE 27th, CONGRESSMAN COLLIN ALLRED FROM DALLAS, WHO IS RUNNING FOR SENATE BROKE HIS SILENCE. HE SAYS, " LIKE MANY TEXANS, I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH WHAT I SAW IN THE DEBATE. I KNOW THAT MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT NEXT STEPS ARE HAPPENING AND I HAVE NOT BEEN A PART OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS." WE WILL DISCUSS THIS MORE ON EYE ON POLITICS THIS SUNDAY MORNING. WE ALSO ASK DALLAS COUNTY'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR WHAT IMPACT THIS FOCUS ON PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL HAVE ON DOWN BALLOT RACES, INCLUDING U.S. SENATE. ALSO COMING UP THIS SUNDAY, WE SPEAK WITH NORTH TEXAS DELEGATES TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION BEING HELD IN MILWAUKEE ABOUT THE MESSAGE THEY WANT TO HEAR AT THE GATHERING AND WHO THEY WOULD LIKE TO BECOME THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. AND, THE ACCUSATIONS ARE FLYING BETWEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ACTING GOVERNOR, DAN PATRICK, OVER A DISASTER DECLARATION AFTER THE DEADLY HURRICANE BERYL SWEPT THROUGH TEXAS. GET YOUR FIX FOR TEXAS POLITICS. WATCH EYE ON POLITICS
