"Sunday Morning" looks back at historical events on this date.
After President Joe Biden bowed out from the race for re-election, passing the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, his closest allies, who supported him as the party's nominee, were emotional about his decision. CBS News chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa talks with Delaware Senator Chris Coons about his thoughts on Biden dropping out.
The Republican National Convention provided little drama this year, as party faithful paid homage to their nominee, former President Donald Trump. CBS News correspondent John Dickerson, anchor of "The Daily Report," reflects on the role the RNC is playing in this year's presidential race rematch.
"Sunday Morning" contributor Josh Seftel talks with his mother, Pat, about her summer plans.
In-between his chart-topping album "The River" and his classic "Born in the U.S.A.," Bruce Springsteen recorded a collection of songs on a 4-track cassette recorder in a bedroom at his rented farmhouse – dark, mournful, and rough-hewn songs that reflected the upheaval in his life at a time of rising success. The resulting album, 1982's "Nebraska," would be one of his most personal, and helped solidify his status as one of music's most soulful voices. Springsteen talks with correspondent Jim Axelrod about how "Nebraska" spoke to his evolution as a songwriter. Axelrod also talks with Warren Zanes, author of the new book, "Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's 'Nebraska'." (This story was originally broadcast on April 30, 2023.)
We leave you this Sunday on the Plover River in Steven's Point, Wisconsin. Videographer: Scot Miller.
There is a lot we're still learning about the magnificent elephant, a creature that became a political animal after satirist Thomas Nast used it in cartoons in the 1870s. Correspondent Faith Salie visits the exhibition "The Secret World of Elephants," at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and checks out the pachyderms at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., to uncover some of the elephant's secrets, from its means of communication, to its trunk, "the Swiss army knife of organs."
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund has helped rescue more than 200 children from Gaza who are in need of medical treatment, including two-year-old Jood Damo, who was injured by an Israeli airstrike. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with doctors about conditions in the Gaza Strip ever since Israel responded to Hamas' attack last October, and how children have become the overwhelming victims of violence. (Warning: Contains disturbing images.)
Bob Newhart, whose observational humor and deadpan delivery were featured in classic standup comedy albums and two hit TV sitcoms, died on July 18, 2024, at the age of 94. Correspondent Mo Rocca looks back at the career of a comedy legend.
One Olympic sport that has not been open to women is the 10-event decathlon, whose winner is crowned "world's greatest athlete." (Women instead compete in the seven-event heptathlon.) But there are women athletes, young and older, who would like to see that changed. "Sunday Morning" senior contributor Ted Koppel meets Florence Meiler, a 90-year-old track star training for the USA Masters Combined Events Championship in Charlottesville, Va.; and with Lauren Kuntz and Sophie Knudson, decathletes who are part of a growing movement to overcome the one hurdle that keeps women from competing in the decathlon in international competition.
