11:00 am
any of these three. a wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. the biden folks were already talking about a very narrow path. they were talking about biden having to defend all three of these states, very potentially lose the three sunbelt states, and they felt they could squeak by with 200 70. what democrats are hoping is that harris does better than biden particularly among black voters. this is been an area where he has been struggling against historic democratic numbers. if that changes, maybe a state like georgia stops looking as ripe for trump as it has so far. if democrats, you know, could pick off georgia, there's a lot of electoral votes there. what that would do is it would open up other avenues. just a minute ago, you were telling trump, winning the street from one state away, after this scenario, even if trump wins in michigan, he still would be short. now he would be 2 from this big ten region of states.
11:01 am
what democrats hope is we are showing you the battleground states. they are hoping if harris performs significantly better than biden, they're hoping that could also put a state like north carolina into the battleground state that is largely been thought to be fairly safe as a republican state. and obviously, if democrats could ever do that, that would have very dramatic implications for this map. we have been talking for so long about sort of a division here between the northern and southern battlegrounds dates, a pretty clear division. the question with harris entering is, does activision change? are there now pathways for the democrats that run through the sunbelt to potentially insulate them and allow them to lose one, even two states in the midwest, the big ten country, whatever you call it? that is a big question and i think it will be answered in the polling coming up in the next week or so. >> okay. that's interesting. in moments, your one republican governor try to decipher an
11:02 am
unusual comment donald trump made friday about his supporters not having to vote again in four years. good day to all of you from msnbc world headquarters here in new york. i'll come to alice witt reports. we are 100 days out from election day, and today is a profoundly different tory than what we envisioned a week ago today. donald trump is up against a new opponent -- vice president kamala harris. out of the gate, she is tied to him in battleground states of pennsylvania and michigan. one point behind in wisconsin, and he leads by 6 points in minnesota. minnesota. attention to trump. >> the sky is a chicken and he is scared to meet the vice president of the united states. he is a master of projection because he is projecting what
11:03 am
they are doing. he is purging voters. and making it harder for people to vote in this country and so he is going to lose in november like he lost in 2020. and i will have to say i'm sorry , mr. trump, you are going back to mar-a-lago but for good. >> trump has no plans of taking a more unifying tone at his rallies. >> they all say, i think he has changed, i think he has changed since two weeks ago and something has impacted him. i haven't changed, i have gotten worse, actually because i've gotten angry at the incompetence i see every single day. >>'s comments on friday when he told religious conservatives they would not need to vote again in four years is still raising eyebrows. one not normally a trump fan is
11:04 am
attempting to clean up. >> i think it was a classic trump is him, as you will. this can be fixed and we want everybody to vote in all elections. he is making a symbolic point it can be fixed as soon as he gets back into office. that is trump right there. >> and reaction from voters, we go to the white house. what are you hearing from the vice president after her historic first week on the campaign t trail? >> reporter: it has been a historic week for vice president harris since she became a de facto democratic a nominee after president biden passed the torch to her. it raised $200 million in the time span and it is trying to right the momentum over the next 100 days as his campaign enters its final phase. we saw
11:05 am
vice president harris on the re campaign trail yesterday fundraising in massachusetts. she unveiled newer and fresher a attack lines against former president trump that we saw from the president biden. >> many of you may know that before i was elected vice president of the united states i was a united states senator and before that i was elected attorney general of california and before that district attorney of san francisco and before that a prosecutor. i took on perpetrators of all kinds. predators who abused women and fraudsters who ripped off consumers. cheaters broke the rules for their own gain. so, here me when i say, i know donald trump's type.
11:06 am
>> reporter: harris saying that despite the momentum she has e seen rally around her in the form of fundraising numbers and the endorsements still coming in, she says she is clear eyed and acknowledging an uphill battle ahead. even acknowledging democrats are the underdogs in the election. she is getting help from the contenders in her race. the process is historically fast for the vetting process. we are seeing people we know op she is vetting come out and defend her record. also talking about her vision for the country. we talked about this yesterday with harris expected to make a critical can decision by august 7 which is a tight timeline with less than two weeks to go. >> that's for sure, let's go to jake trailer who is in minneapolis. how do donald trump's
11:07 am
supporters feel after this busy two weeks of news? >> it has been a busy few weeks in american politics here. yesterday we saw former president donald trump, as you said and ohio senator j.d. vance take the stage for the first time together in minnesota, the democratic state that trump says is fully in play for them. we saw how former president trump would sharpen against the de facto nominee, kamala harris. we saw him continue to go after president biden. he stopped with his criticisms of his age and golf game even though biden is snowmelt no longer the nominee. i spoke to a handful of trump supporters at the rally in minnesota asking them to sum up in a
11:08 am
single word what they make of the past few weeks in politics. take a listen to a few things the trump supporters had to say. >> it is been a wild ride with a lot of craziness. we hope things get figured out here soon. >> crazy. there are so many things happening and i don't know that we can digest everything that has happened. i don't know if there is an answer and if anybody feels trusting of our government anymore. i don't know what to believe of our government anymore. i think people want to feel transparency and hope. >> resilience for trump. very surprising. i would say resilient is the biggest word, especially when you're talking about donald.
11:09 am
>> reporter: there you have an unsurprising resiliency for trump supporters around their candidate who was sharpening his criticisms of vice president harris is we are just 100 days from the election. >> okay, the senior spokesperson for the harris campaign. it's good to see you. the vice president is coming off a record-breaking $200 million. the question is, how long with this level of enthusiasm last? is there a benefit to the intensely short campaign? you don't have to sustain as long and so do you think you will get more record-breaking cash halls once the donors get on board? >> welcome back as a senior
11:10 am
spokesperson for the harris campaign. >> go ahead. >> you just said it, we have raised $200 million in six days which is extreme for any one running for president. 6% of that was brought in by new donors. we have seen over 170,000 people sign up to volunteer. the excitement is palpable and you see it from across the country as grassroots groups are put together calls with how they can support the vice president's bid for the presidency and it is very exciting. dear point, we take nothing for granted and we know it will be
11:11 am
a close race in the vice president knows it will be a close race. she is taking over president biden's came paying and it will be important to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to win this election. again, we take nothing for granted and you see her travel the country. she will be in atlanta on tuesday and crisscrossing the country traveling to battleground states. the excitement is palpable and exit exciting to see people turn up for her. she will keep making the contrast with the fact that she is fighting for the american people and their values and donald trump fights for himself to seek political retribution and for his agenda. she will continue to make the contrast and will travel the country to make sure everybody understands what is at stake in this election. >> let's break this down. are there stakes that were likely
11:12 am
that could swing back with harris leading the ticket? can i put you on the spot and name some? >> my job is not to be a pundit in here and analyze what states we are going to win and lose. my job is to make it clear every state is important. she will travel to all battleground states. the states that president biden was focused on are the same states she is focusing on. she is going to georgia and will go from north carolina to nevada to the blue wall and travel those states time and time again to go to the voters. i was on hillary clinton's campaign and that was a close election and we narrowly lost. i was on president biden's wa campaign in 2020 and he won but it was a close election. this election will be close and
11:13 am
we know that. the groundwork that has been put in place for months by the democratic party b and by the biden campaign and now the harris campaign is critically important. that will be the difference i will make the difference in these close elections. we take nothing for granted and we have 100 days until the election. it is an incredibly exciting time to be a democrat and a woman in this country and to see the excitement building and generating around her election. >> let me ask how excited you are about the polls as we look at head-to-head right now. it is dead heat in pennsylvania , wisconsin and michigan. and president biden in georgia and arizona where he was. >> look, again, this is a close election and we are seeing a
11:14 am
lot of excitement and enthusiasm . we are seeing voters who have not been engaged in presidential politics for a while getting involved in coming to the forefront. i am looking at friends from college and where their heads are at and they are excited and their kids are excited. it feels historic and like a major moment here in presidential politics. nt at the same time, this will be a close race which is why you see the vice president taking th nothing for granted and traveling to every battleground state. she is drawing contrast with her opponent who is now donald trump. making it clear that no matter what he says, he wants to implement the dangerous project 2025 agenda which at the least will create more problems for the american people. it would dramatically hurt the middle class and you know, it
11:15 am
would enact a nationwide abortion ban. he would abolish the department of education. he she will go out there and make that point in that contrast. as you mentioned, she will soon be picking a running man i and g that person will draw a contrast with the present's running mate who is the poster child for project 2025. someone who is criticized women without children as being a problem in america. saying if you are childless and only have a cat, that is something that you are not contributing poverty to the fabric of america. she will make that point and she is prepared for this moment. you laid it out in a previous segment talking about her experience. she was a prosecutor and then dist atty and then the attorney general of the largest state in
11:16 am
california. and then she was a senator and now vice president of the united states. there is no one more prepared to take ond donald trump at this point in time than vice president harris. she looks forward to continuing the contrast and making sure the american people understand what is at stake in this election. >> what is the number one criteria for the vice presidential pick? >> it's not for me to decide. i will tell you whoever vice president harris pics will be someone who shares her values and vision for this country. rebuilding the middle class and president biden's record of creating 15 million jobs and 800,000+ manufacturing jobs. president biden, we have talked on your show has passed four major historic economic bills.
11:17 am
donald trump, if he becomes president, wants to undo all of those bills. that the inflationl reduction act which has put people back to work and which has passed historic climate change legislation, he wants to get rid of that. she wants to carry on the vision that she partnered with president biden in passing and n it is something she will make clear over the next $100 days. >> a spokesperson for the harris campaign. and calls for a black woman shot in the face by a white police officer in her home. we will be back in a few moments. for easier heartburn relief, one beats ten. prilosec otc. one pill. 24 hours. zero heartburn. here's to getting better with age. here's to beating these two every thursday.

11:19 am
we didn't have to worry about any of those things thanks to the donations. and our family is forever grateful because it's completely changed our lives. new developments following the killing of sonja matt massey who was killed by an illinois sheriff office deputy in her home after she dialed 911 for help. people have gathered calling for justice for massey. kentucky, tennessee, georgia, louisiana and california. so, how are folks reacting to this overwhelming support for massey and what have you heard from her family.
11:20 am
>> people in springfield are feeling anguish. there is a group of 200 people and may be more gathering in springfield. they said a prayer and they are listening to various community members speak. one woman brought her young son here because she said she needs to teach him to call for the respect he deserves which is not what they are getting from police here and around the country. she watched the video and said it never should have happened. she knew the family and is obviously heartbroken as is this community. it is not just here in springfield, it is happening across the country. people feeling the support across the country with more rallies expected this afternoon and another in chicago this weekend. i heard from someone in chicago this weekend. >> as i was watching, i was
11:21 am
thinking it is one of the most terrific police murders i have seen in my life. this poor woman called police because she needed help and that resulted in her life being ended. we cannot trust the police even when we feel we are in danger. >> reporter: that is intimate we have heard repeatedly here. am some folks were wearing t- shirts saying i rebuke you in the name of jesus. that is what she said just before she was shot in the face. we are digging into more with misconduct issues in the past. he is balanced between six police departments in the past four years with a history of misconduct and he is charged with first-degree murder and arrested and was fired from the police department. >> why was he wearing a sheriff's deputy badge.
11:22 am
and joining me now a distinguished university professor from princeton, university and a political analyst and a good friend. it's good to see you. let's go to the autopsy results. give me your assessment of how this is being handled. let's remind viewers it is four years after the george floyd tragedy. >> a lot of this is familiar. first things first, it is wonderful to see you. a lot of this is familiar to us with justice department outrage and politician speaking. we do know the nature of policing in this country suggests that the everyday practices tend to lead up to these tragic moments. we were not paying attention to what sean grayson was doing in the day to day actions of
11:23 am
policing. he was disrespecting folk and bullying folk and moving from police department to police department. there were debates and then we have to confront the tragedy of someone like sonia massey. i would urge viewers to read the piece in the atlantic. i could not watch the video. i am tired of seeing this with details in an extraordinary way. the horrible picture and horrific nature of this police murder. it is familiar and here we are grieving in public once again. >> that video has been played and i cover my eyes and cannot watch it, it is so painful. all right, let's move to vice president kamala harris who is on the front pages of the sunday newspapers and some people may not expect the palm beach paper
11:24 am
and the clarion ledger in mississippi. they say it feels like obama. how do you see her camp 100 days out? does it feel like obama to you or maybe more energetic? >> 2008 was a very different moment than 2024. we are in the middle of a backlash at this moment. obama was a reaction in so many ways to the iraq war and activism around that. these are very different and part of what i see is longing. what we are experiencing is a euphoria seated in deep-seated exhaustion . there are people in the country longing for us to step into a different way of being. at the same time, i want us to be very, very clear about this.
11:25 am
just as we track hope and excitement on one side, there is just as much anger on the other. we have to understand that as we look at the political map. what this excitement is doing is changing vice president harris' electoral map. she can now bring georgia into play in north carolina is in play in nevada is in play and people in arizona are shouting from the rooftops, we are in play. there is the retail politics and the blocking and tackling and with all the money the campaign is receiving, i want the campaign to flip the zone to get folk out to vote and in some ways, change the course of the nation . >> you said that 2008 was a backlash to a number of things like the iraq war and the like. is kamala harris the backlash to donald trump in that this is
11:26 am
a proven successful district attorney and a proven and successful california state attorney and she says she knows this type. she has prosecuted people found guilty of things he is similarly found guilty of. is that part of the equation? >> i think so but would not describe it as a backlash but a response. it is historically unique. usually the backlash is in our country lasts for 40 or 50 years . we don't see overturning until 1954. all of the ugly and horror that happened in between. think about the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century of ronald reagan. we don't really see the break until the election of 2008 and then of course you immediately get the backlash and then the country vomits of donald trump
11:27 am
and i used that verb on purpose. what does that mean? in the middle of this intense expression of citizens who want to reach for an older america and order and autocracy that a major political party puts up a woman of color in the midst of an assault on the 20th century. an assault on women's rights and an assault on lgbt q. it is a response to what kind of america do we want. who do we take ourselves to be? how do we imagine our future and will we be suffocated by the ghost of the past. >> some people go after the way she laughs and there are vile allegations by trump's allies and surrogates. what you make of the way they
11:28 am
are trying to define her? >> we know what has been motivating maga republicanism. it's always been there ever since he talked about migrants making their way to the united states trying to make a better life. we know rate replacement theory is not just about race, it's because we are not having enough babies. the white population is going to be wiped out. what we are seeing around voter rights and women's rights, all of this is found out in the panic in the grievance that it's been the fuel for donald trump's incentives. let's not get amnesia and let's understand. there is no reason to think
11:29 am
they will not be disciplined in the ticket. that vileness and vitriol will make itself known and we have to make a choice. >> we saw trump office close shave in pennsylvania. with the way you describe things right now and we know what is out there, are you worried about her security as she crisscrosses the country in the next few months? >> absolutely am worried about her security. i'm worried about what happens if she wins. i'm worried about the fact that we are hesitant to describe what really is happening. that is these two americans that were stitched together are suddenly at each other's throats again. the consequence of that, oh, my goodness, violent has always been the

100 days to the election and one pivotal question that remains unanswered is who will vice president kamala harris
11:35 am
chooses her running mate. among the profiles is josh shapiro of california, one of the swing states. joining the campaign to mark the 100 day countdown and we will check in with emma in philadelphia, pa. let's talk about the vibe and how it has changed in the state over this past week . >> reporter: the vibe in pennsylvania for democrats is absolutely electric. it feels like someone flip the switch and there is energy and momentum around the campaign. there was the weekend of action volunteer kickoff and cumberland county. it went for trump by 10 points in 2020 and there were about 300 people there ready to go and kickoff the campaign. the pennsylvania harris
11:36 am
campaign manager said more than 1000 pennsylvanians have signed up to volunteer for the campaign. listen to what a couple of voters told me. >> i felt very much like there was no use going forward with the biden candidacy and it seemed it was sinking. i have been reenergized since sunday when she emerged as a candidate and i would say it is an amazing turnaround. i hope that is what everybody is feeling. >> it has been electrifying and i am here to energize the whole crowd and bring a smile to everybody's phase. it is the key to this whole country. >> reporter: every voter i spoke to at that event also said they are hoping that vice president harris chooses governor josh shapiro to be her running mate.
11:37 am
after he spoke, many of them told him we love you is pennsylvania governor but we need you as vice president. i will take it a step further, bob brady who is the chairman of the philadelphia democratic party said he will guarantee philadelphia and pennsylvania will vote for kamala harris if shapiro is her running mate. >> thank you for that. joining me now is a member of the house judiciary and foreign affairs committees. it is good to see you. you just heard a guarantee that kamala harris will carry pennsylvania with josh shapiro as her running mate. you heard enthusiastic voters who are excited. is that what you hear from your constituents and do you hear anyone with reservations because this did happen fast.
11:38 am
>> it is great to be here with you on this 100 days out mark. i concur with what you're reporter just said. bob grady knows pennsylvania politics and knows the talent of kamala harris and matched with our governor, josh shapiro who is a friend and mentor to me, that would be a powerful, powerful ticket. i just came from two campaign launches. one today with senator casey's and a senator from florida came . i can tell you every face in the room was beaming and smiling. there is an electricity with what is going on. it's all because of an extraordinary leader, president biden. think about it, one week ago, president biden who i had the honor of serving next to for 3 1/2 years and i have six more
11:39 am
months with him, thank god. he said he reveres his office, the presidential office and yet he loves his country more and that's why he decided to stand down. put country first. the contrast could not be greater. selflessness over selfishness and deterioration. >> a new fox news poll shows kamala harris tied with donald trump in pennsylvania. given the enthusiasm surrounding kamala harris' candidacy, are you convinced she will be a stronger swing state candidate than joe biden would have been? >> i don't know for sure but when i look on the history, for example in 2016. donald trump by only 44,000 vote. when that constituents said we will be the keystone state again, he is right. in 2020 and pennsylvania, biden won by a
11:40 am
82,000 votes. we watch again and i bet the margin is greater with kamala harris. we have a deep bench of qualified people and i am very excited that it might be montgomery county's very own josh shapiro. >> i know you are and it's no surprise because you are a longtime pennsylvanian. this weekend you did not attend the speaking engagement i prime minister benjamin netanyahu to congress on wednesday. we know that kamala harris met with them putting emphasis on how he conducts the war with the civilian death toll rather than president biden articulating it a little more gently. he has made his point although maybe not as directly. is the approach to netanyahu for election reasons or because of backlash? >> i was not in the room when
11:41 am
she met with the prime minister . i chose not to attend and what i did instead was i spent monday, tuesday, and wednesday meeting with hostage families and i've met with them multiple times since october seventh. they wanted mr. prime minister to be home crafting the deal to get family members home dead and alive. it is horrifying to me that they are begging the leader of the state of israel to complete the task. the deal has allegedly been on the table for a long time. i had a chance to continue a conversation in meetings i have had with palestinian americans and some are my constituents. muslim americans, i met with them on the day of the joint address. it was those meetings that push me to the brink of saying that i will not attend. i wish mr. prime minister
11:42 am
attended to his own country's great needs. i love israel and i'm proud to support israel. i am proud to have voted for support for israel. but dead children whether in israel or gaza or lebanon, there is no excuse for that. we have to end the reign of terror. we have to look to the leaders to be the resolution for peace. >> for a poignant particularly with what happened with hezbollah last night. more on the situation in israel and a few moments. anna had the kamala harris campaign and what it means for gen z voters.

11:46 am
fence of the soccer field. if you come with me this way, you can see the 4 x 4's and the bikes these kids wrote to the field on are just lying here. tragically, there is a bomb shelter a couple of feet away from this field. there was not enough time for the kids to get to it. you can see it is riddled by shrapnel here. for israel, this is the worst attack on civilians since october 7. they are pointing the finger of blame on hezbollah, the powerful iranian backed military group who fired a rocket with a heavy warhead at this place. has the denies responsibility. israel says there is no doubt that they were responsible and they will respond.
11:47 am
they said the response will be unlike anything inflected so far on hezbollah. this raises deep fears of an all-out conflict on the second front more than 100 miles from gaza. also in central gaza, hospital authorities say 36 were killed including 15 children after an airstrike on the school where displaced people were seeking shelter. every year we talk about the youth vote and whether it will turn out. a poll showing less than half of young voters were planning to vote in november but has that changed and can the vice president turn that around? we have some answers, next.
