fascinating. this has been another remarkable political week and remarkable political year. it's sure to roll on again, next week. a lot of twists and turns. the big questions right now really are, first of all, does the momentum continue for democrats, and can republicans finally come up with a game plan to stop that momentum or at least slow it down? >> yeah, we assume it continues at least through the dnc, and from trump and vance's point of view, they have to come up with a clear single sustained line of attack. >> all right. thank you so much, katty kay, katty and anthony scaramucci as you know, number one in the uk, number one in our hearts. coming to america on the ed sullivan show very soon. that does it for us this morning. ana cabrera picks up the coverage right now.

right now on "ana cabrera reports," the fight for the oval, donald trump and kamala harris both on the road today as their campaigns finally agree to a debate. could there be more than one? plus, don't call it a reset. donald trump's combative and free wheeling press conference at mar-a-lago, what was he trying to accomplish? also ahead, tropical depression debby drenching the east coast with tornado watches issued for cities that rarely see them. newly released body cam footage from before and after the attempted assassination of donald trump. ♪♪ happy friday. it is 10:00 eastern, i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york, and this morning both presidential campaigns are heading out west. vice president kamala harris is in the swing state of arizona. her latest stop in a battleground blitz with running mate tim walz.

donald trump, meanwhile, is headed to deep red montana after what's been dubbed the reset that wasn't. a press conference at mar-a-lago meandering and at times combative and packed with personal attacks and plenty of falsehoods. nbc's vaughn hillyard is in bozeman, montana, where trump will be today. our yamiche alcindor is tracking the latest with the harris campaign. also with us jonathan capehart, "washington post" associate editor and host of msnbc's jonathan capehart. trump will be in bozeman for this rally after that even at mar-a-lago where he was clearly trying to seize back some attention in the 2024 race. this morning does his campaign think that's what he accomplished? >> reporter: right, he was not slated to have a campaign event until tonight here in bozeman, mississippi montana, and yesterday he held that press conference and took questions

for more than an hour after kamala harris and tim walz criss-crossed battle ground states, and one where he would always call into question how any democrat was able to come close to challenging him because of his types of crowd sizes. but on this week it was the democrats who were the ones that were bringing out enthusiastic crowds. that is what led to this press conference yesterday. take a listen to part of his remarks. >> because i'm leading by a lot, and because i'm letting their convention go through and i am campaigning a lot. if you look at january 6th, which a lot of people aren't talking about very much. i think those people were treated very harshly. i would say that in terms of intelligence, hillary was far superior. i think the abortion issue has been taken down many notches. nobody's spoken to crowds bigger than me. if you look at martin luther king when he did his speech, his

great speech and you look at ours, same real estate, same everything, same number of people if not we had more. >> reporter: of course the facts of those crowd estimations on donald trump's part are not accurate. there was an estimated 250,000 people that came out for martin luther king's 1963 speech in washington compared to an estimated 25,000 for january 6th speech that he gave in washington, d.c., donald trump. but this is a campaign we should be very clear, over the last two weeks has had a very scattered messaging and a lack of theme. it has called into question, donald trump has, kamala harris's race. he has promoted this baseless fan fic that joe biden would come back at the convention to retake the nomination, and yesterday he could not provide and would not provide a clear answer on whether he would order his fda to bar abortion

medication. he did not provide any clear answer on how he would go about a mass deportation program, and donald trump yesterday only signaling that the country would go to a deep, dark place if he is not put back into the white house in 2025, a clear contrast to the message coming out of the democratic camp right now. >> vaughn, i guess one thing he did clear up was the debate issue, right? so now a debate is on and maybe more than one? >> exactly. there is the september 10th debate on abc that he had not agreed to until yesterday, but he during that press conference said that he would show up. now, notably he and his campaign also want kamala harris to agree to a september 4th debate on fox, and there is an nbc propose d debate the trump campaign has suggested they would agree to at the end of september. at this point in time, it is not

clear whether that will be agreed to by the other side, but at least donald trump has shown a willingness to take the debate stage against kamala harris. >> yamiche, vp harris will be in arizona later today. meanwhile, it sounds like she's ready for that debate with trump. >> she's certainly ready for the september 10th abc news hosted debate with former president trump. and from the very beginning when she was catapulted to the top of the ticket for the democratic party, she made clear that she wanted to debate donald trump. she has said consistently now that after september 10th debate, she would be open to debating him at other times. my reporting is that she likely will not do the september 4th fox news debate. i don't know that they have officially said that. that might be coming soon, because they really wanted to focus on first, the september 10th day and from there build. we might see a september 25th debate hosted by nbc news as a maybe and maybe possibly they

might do a later debate with another organization. my sense is that vice president harris believes that debating donald trump will work for her. i'm really skeptical about the idea that she's going to go on fox news given the fact that that is a network that they see trying to be in favor of donald trump and likely wouldn't be fair to them. >> i think we have some sound with her addressing this. >> madam vice president, donald trump agreed to three debates. will you be participating in all three? >> i have always been on record, i am looking forward to debating donald trump, and we want a date of september 10th. i hear he has finally committed to it. i am looking forward to it. >> what about the other two? >> there you see her commit to september 10th. yamiche, we've also learned president biden and harris will be campaigning together. what more do we know about this? >> that's right. we got some big news this morning which is that for the first time since president biden has dropped out, we're going to see them in person together. it's an event in maryland.

they are saying it's going to be an event, first of all an official event which maybe won't make a big difference here. it's being run by the white house and the vice president's office. they're there to discuss in maryland at this event what they say is going to be their progress at lowering costs for americans. we don't have more details there. that leans into this idea that vice president harris is wanting to talk about the need to make this economy work for middle class americans. she has this new ad out talking about her middle class background, so there's going to be a lot of anticipation for that debate to see what happens. i should say the president did go to that campaign event when she went the first day of her campaign to visit the campaign staff in delaware saying he loved her, he respected her, and he was going to go out and campaign for her. >> looking at some images of some of these events happening this week across the country that. one from eau claire, wisconsin. thank you. jonathan, as we mentioned at the top, that press conference was full of personal attacks,

falsehoods, trump called harris not smart, he dismissed any suggestion of democratic momentum. he compared his crowd size to mlk's historic address in washington. he said he doesn't think abortion is a big factor anymore. if he was looking for a reset this week, was that it? >> not the reset he was look for. the one thing we -- two things you have to remember about donald trump. he's the most transparent politician at least i have ever covered meaning that when he's doing something, it's not all that complicated. just the simplest thing that comes to mind, that's the reason why he's doing it. the reason why he's doing it is not so much a reset, but it's his upset that vice president harris and now minnesota governor tim walz have been dominating the news cycle. they have been the subject of multiple stories in print,

online, television, the meme, social media, and he has been pushed to the sidelines. this was his effort to get back on the front pages, to get back into the national conversation. remember, donald trump comes from the new york tabloid school, which is all press is good press. it doesn't matter what they're saying about you as long as they're talking about you, and as long as we're talking about him for better or for worse from his perspective, it's all good for him. unfortunately for an hour all the american people heard was a torrent of lies, grievance, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and the more he talks, the longer he talks, the more the american people are reminded, i think, of his four years as president, and it could gin up the conversation for a lot of folks in the electorate. do we want to go through that

again with him in the white house. >> kayla, what's the sense from the harris campaign about what they've seen from trump in just this last 24 hours or even less than that? >> i think the sense in general is they don't feel like they have to necessarily respond to these attacks. if they just let trump speak he can walk into his own trap. these are comments that are very unpopular with voters in general when it comes to attacks on her race and identity, and i think that's why additional debates could work in harris's favor. she's only agreed right now to that september debate. if you just let donald trump speak for long enough, he easily veers into these gaffes, and i think we have seen kamala harris be very disciplined when it comes to messaging. she's focusing on the economy, on abortion, on gun violence, and i think that's going to continue, and for sure that's going to work in their favor. these are things that voters care about certainly here on the west coast, in arizona, and nevada where abortion is going to be on the ballot. right now they're using this

term weird that tim walz championed. they're not really taking that hard stance against trump, and i think they don't feel like they have to do that. >> this joint appearance with president biden and harris next week, how do you see his role in her campaign? >> one thing i want to point out, ana, is that yamiche said this was an event that was being put on by the white house and the vice president's office and not the campaign. so we should temper our expectations in terms of how much of a campaign like event we're going to see. however, the visuals of the two of them together for the first time since president biden dropped out of the race and since vice president harris claimed the top of the ticket and the, you know, the fund-raising stories and the enthusiasm, it's going to be sort of the visual passing of the baton from president biden to vice president harris in a way that we didn't get when the

vice president went to the wilmington campaign office and they did it via -- she was on camera that he was over the phone. i think it will be the visual passing of the baton that the nation wants to see but also is good for her campaign. >> keeps that tent broad, not alienating those who really, really love president biden, and akayla, the messaging has been interesting. in 2020 biden made democracy the focal point of his campaign. he talked about saving the soul of democracy. we don't hear that message much from harris during her rallies. she's focused on being a joyful warrior, different message, different tone. this feels like a very different democratic campaign. >> yeah, this has been really interesting to see. democracy mentioned on january 6th, that was central to joe biden's pitch for re-election. that has not been the case for kamala harris and something that

i've heard from strategists is democracy can be convoluted. it means different things to different people. yes, it polls well, but it polls well with voters from both parties. i think going forward harris is really going to be under pressure to sort of define her policy proposals when it comes to the economy. she hasn't really done that. she hasn't really had to, and something that donald trump and j.d. vance have both been hinting on is the fact that she hasn't sat for an interview. that is the next step for them, how are they going to be different, frankly, from joe biden's approach to policy. >> akayla gardner, and jonathan capehart, thank you so much for that discussion. be sure to check jonathan this weekend and every weekend on msnbc at can 6:00 p.m. eastern. ahead, taking a bite of p georgia and a moment in the arizona sun. two swing states move to tossup status, but what will it take to win them? two top operatives on the

we're back with new threats today from the deadly storm that's carved a path up the east coast all week. this morning 36 million people from savannah to new england are under flood alerts from debby, which is now a post tropical cyclone, and in addition to flash flooding, there are tornado watches in some unusual places from new york to virginia. nbc meteorologist angie lassman is tracking it all for us. let's first go to nbc's george solis in harrisburg, pennsylvania, which is under a tornado watch this morning. george, this storm has caused a lot of damage down south. what are people expecting there in pennsylvania? >> reporter: yeah, this storm has been slow-moving, ana, and really those relentless rains are the big concern. they've overwhelmed so many drainage systems which has led to that flooding. right now we're in a little bit of a lull. we're expecting some of that light rain to pick up. we might be able to see little bit of a breeze indicating that storm is making its way here into the northeast and into northern new england. the only silver lining from official ss that the mighty susquehanna that you see behind

me there, not expected to flood. powerful, relentless, and slow moving. debby still wreaking havoc. the storm strengthening after coming ashore a second time thursday. overnight, houses flooding in south carolina and a possible twister in rocky mountain north carolina as debby is now poised to bring heavy rain and more possible tornados to the northeast. new york city workers checking pumps to make sure subways don't get flooded. >> we should have a smooth transition to the storm with no issues. >> reporter: debby has been deadly claiming at least seven lives. it's also been destructive, spawning multiple tornados including one in lucama, north carolina, that killed a man. the threat of tornados remains high in north carolina and virginia along with the risk of flooding. >> this storm is unrelenting, and it moves slowly. we still haven't seen the worst of it yet. >> rescuers saving these children from a fast moving

creek near raleigh after one of them called 911. >> it was very scary because i -- the water, it was just like rushing. >> reporter: further south, the town of bladenboro still flooded. homeowners in places like sarasota, florida, are struggling to salvage what they can and worry this kind of flooding could become more common as tropical storms drop rivers of rain for days on end. >> if you are watching these images which are profound and you were thinking that could never be me, you are incorrect. >> reporter: tragically this storm is being blamed for one more death in the carolinas. we saw reports after tornado outside wilmington, delaware. as far as air travel and travel delays, they're not too bad right now, delays and cancellations in the triple digits, but we do expect those numbers to creep up.

headaches still even as debby leaves us for good, a lot of people looking to get this storm well past behind them. >> yes, we all want it over. george solis, stay safe. thank you for bringing us the latest. we've been talking about this storm all week. where is the biggest threat this morning? >> we are so ready, ana, for this to be out of the picture. we are looking for a much weaker storm. the threat is going to remain for the mid-atlantic and northeast for the next 24 hours before we see major improvements. we've got post tropical cyclone debby, still plenty of rain and still the ingredients for us to see some of these tornados. you heard george mention there's been reports into the early morning hours. we have a tornado watch that's going to last across this region through 2:00 p.m. this does include philadelphia. we no longer see washington, d.c., in that. we'll start to see this tornado watch shift and potentially be extended as we get through the rest of the day today. we've also got all of those flood alerts. we're seeing rain wind down across the carolinas. they've been so inundated. we've got most of the heavy rain sitting across the northeast,

especially central pennsylvania, parts of upstate new york. we've got 36 million people under these flood watches. now, the ingredients as i mentioned for tornados, they're going to remain there through the day today. we likely could see that. it stretches from new york, albany through parts of maryland, baltimore included in that, philadelphia, and new york city as well. this is something we'll, again, deal with during the day today. on top of that, we're going to still be looking for the moderate risk of flash flooding, parts of pennsylvania, those same areas of new york as well. syracuse to harrisburg included in that moderate risk. we see a slight risk extending much farther than that. this will be something we deal with today with the potential to see 2 to 4 more inches of rain across this region. localized amounts up to 6 inches. the good news is once we get it through the day today out towards parts of new england, we're still going to wake up to rain across parts of northern new england. as we get into the later parts of your saturday, specifically the second half of saturday, we'll see some drier conditions settling in, and we'll finally be done with debby. good news for all.

welcome back. new body cam footage from the day of the assassination attempt on former president trump reveals alarming details about what happened before those shots were fired and the confusion after. butler township, pennsylvania, officials released this video and it is more evidence pointing to a communication breakdown between local police and the secret service. nbc news correspondent ryan nobles has more for us. ryan. >> this video provides new insight into what the scene was like during the assassination attempt on former president trump. it shows law enforcement confused and alarmed at the roof where the shooter was perched was left unguarded. >> moments before shots rang out at former president trump -- a butler county police officer

coming face to face with the shooter, nowly released body cam video shows the officer being hoisted up to the roof before quickly coming down after he says thomas crooks pointed a weapon at him. >> this close, br o', and he turned around on me. >> reporter: officials say crooks fired eight shots, nicking trump in the ear, killing one rally goer and critically injuring two others. he was shot to death by countersnipers within seconds. the same officer is seen jumping on the roof after the shooting where crooks' body can be seen. >> i put my head up there like an idiot by myself, dude. calling out on top of the roof, were you all on the same frequency? >> reporter: officials say that information about the shooter never made it to the secret service because they were not on the same radio frequency. >> what i can tell you is that that piece of information, that vital piece of information, by no fault of anyone, it was a very stressful situation, it did not make it over. >> reporter: the team of officers seemed baffled such a

strategic location was not covered. >> i told them they need to post the guys -- i told them that. >> reporter: one officer saying he specifically warned the secret service to guard the roof days before the rally. >> the secret service i told them that tuesday. i told them to post guys over here. >> reporter: in a statement, the secret service said they are looking at the video, but admitted the agency failed and are reviewing and updating our protective policies and procedures in order to ensure a tragedy like this never occurs again. the former head of the secret service kimberly cheatle resigned her post. the new acting director recently told congress that agents could be fired if their investigation reveals they broke agency protocol. >> ryan nobles, thanks so much. overnight, a third arrest in the terror plot targeting the austria leg of taylor swift'ser eras tour. an 18-year-old who had been in contact with the main suspect was taken into custody.

both had pledged an oath of allegiance to the islamic state. authorities believe this plot appears to have been inspired by isis and al qaeda. joining us now, nbc news investigative correspondent tom winter. what more are we learning about this new suspect and this network involved in this plot? >> right, i think this was something we were talking about yesterday and alluding to the fact that the austrians were looking for an individual or individuals who may not have been directly involved in the plot or attack, may not have had knives or been making bombs but in fact knew about something, and obviously this overnight our time has come to fruition. this individual an 18-year-old iraqi national is described by the austrian interior minister, the translation is not great but basically he was in their environment. it would translate more for us that this individual had some awareness of what was going on, and then he's pledging allegiance in this country that could come close to the material support for terrorism.

either way, it gave them the opportunity to get this person off the street and to better unravel who's talking to who and about what. when you reference that idea there of al qaeda as well as isis, it is now fairly common that these individuals are consuming propaganda from both terrorist groups and at some point they might make a pledge to one over the other and as you reported and said, they made the pledge here to isis. >> do they think that they have everybody now involved with this particular plot? what's the plan looking ahead to the next stop in london for taylor swift's tour? what's the security situation? >> sure, so the possibility remains of additional arrests in austria, again, along the same type of lines, people who had general awareness of this group, but not necessarily people who were going to be there at any one of these concert dates in vienna. as far as london is concerned and the rest of the eras tour, certainly an operation like taylor swift's and the type of stadiums we're talking about are

acutely aware of the environment we're all in when it comes to threats. they're on top of it. the metropolitan police knew scotland yard in london, it's a difference from austria. they're part of the same intelligence network that the u.s. is in, that new zealand is in, the uk is in, and canada is in. they're talking even more than the u.s. was talking to the austrian, and we know the role the u.s. played in helping the austrians out. where it be from spy service to spy service, whether it be fbi to the metropolitan police and mi 5. they're talking all the time. that information flow goes both ways. if there is a potential threat that authorities can pick up on, whether that threat be picked up here in the united states or in any of those countries that comprise the five eyes, they'll certainly be sharing that with police authorities in london, and they're acutely aware of the threat environment they're in as well. i anticipate to the best extent they can, they'll be on top of it. we'll have to see what happens. it only takes a terrorist to get

something right once versus authorities, which have to get it right all the time. >> sure feel for those folks who had the taylor swift tickets in austria, so many people fly to a different country to see her shows. better safe than sorry obviously, tom winter, thank you very much. up next on "ana cabrera reports," swing state strategy, arizona and georgia, two critical battlegrounds moving to tossup status. how could immigration, demographic, and even election denialism impact the results? we'll dig in deeper with experts in both states. >> i think it's most benefit i can get from whoever party it is. >> this is kind of a weird and spicy election. ♪♪ herbal essences sulfate free is now packed with plant-based ingredients your hair will love. like pure aloe and camellia flower oil. and none of the things it won't. hair feels deeply nourished,

wraps up their introductory swing state tour, trump is down playing the momentum shift. the top trump adviser says the race is in a state of suspended reality, telling "politico" the surge won't last. but a key election forecast might suggest otherwise. the cook political report has changed three critical states from leaning republican to tossup. arizona, georgia, and nevada. that's actually a reset to where those states were before president biden's disastrous debate. let's discuss with experts inside a couple of those key states, atlanta journal constitution political columnist patricia murphy. former political director for stacey abrams in atlanta, christopher bruce, and arizona deputy director for the biden 2020 campaign, tony connie. the trump campaign is calling this harris momentum suspended reality. what's your response to that? and what do arizona voters want to hear from vice president harris today as that swing state

tour continues? >> well, if anybody knows about suspended reality, it's got to be the trump campaign, because they're just not accepting the facts here. the momentum is absolutely real. we're seeing a ton of enthusiasm in arizona and a lot of investment. they just launched a big tv blitz to get latino voters. we have this huge visit that's happening today. my phone has been blowing up. i haven't been on the campaign in four years, people are trying to find a way to get tickets to this thing. democrats win this arizona, we won by 10,000 votes last time. i feel very good about where we are. if i were on the trump campaign, i'd be really nervous. >> we've seen the huge turnout for events earlier this week in states like wisconsin, we know their event there in arizona later today that harris/walz event is several hours from now. we'll keep an eye out on any images that suggest the enthusiasm on the ground.

there in georgia, you write about this political shift, this momentum in a piece titled how to lose a state in ten days. you say trump missteps have exacerbated this dynamic, including renewing his attacks on governor brian kemp in georgia. kemp just responded this morning. watch this. >> despite all of that noise, my position has not changed, you know. i've said a long time before, you know, the presidential primary ever started when we had all those great candidates that were running that i was going to support the nominee, that we were going to use our political operation to win georgia despite past grievances, differences in a political opinion, you know, maybe ideals, issues, whatever the case may be with any individual or the former president. >> patricia, will this dampen the impact of these trump attacks against him, or is it still a gamble for trump to go after kemp? >> it's a huge gamble for donald trump to go after brian kemp.

brian kemp is the most popular governor obviously anywhere in the country. he's also the most popular republican here in the state. he's the most popular elected official in the state, so to go after governor brian kemp in your own party is strategically just incredibly not wise, it has really dampened a lot of the momentum of unity that republicans had coming out of the rnc, and we're talking to republicans who just are shaking their head as they were watching those attacks on governor kemp. they were texting reporters say what in the world is he doing. this was ours. it's slipping away. >> a couple of demographic shifts are taking place that might impact the race there in georgia since harris replaced biden on the ticket, more black voters now say they will definitely vote in november, and 70% of women voters say harris's policies will help women, while just 43% say the same about trump's policies. when president biden was the nominee, democrats seemed to be focused more on swing

independents. does this suggest the name of the game now is turning out the base? >> absolutely. the base is a key. but let's look at what has happened in georgia since 2018. you've seen georgia change into a tossup state since then, and we all saw what happened in 2020 when president joe biden was elected. we also sent out senator ossoff and senator warnoff to d.c. georgia is not new to these type of races. the base is there and expanding into other areas. they are opening offices in forsyth county and others, and meanwhile, trump's opening up offices and they are literally having fights with each other. so the state of georgia is there. the harris campaign is running at full steam ahead, and the momentum is not slowing down. >> tony, trump said yesterday abortion is, quote, not a big factor anymore. is that the case there in

arizona? >> no, i mean, it was national news. it was huge news here for weeks when all of a sudden 1864 civil, you know, war era abortion ban was put back in place by our supreme court, and it was something everybody was talking about. and you know, it took democrats to get that through where 90% of the republican legislators in our state voted to enforce that. it's top of mind. i've seen polling that shows it's the number two issue in the state. this is not just for women voters. this is for voters in general in arizona. he is wildly out of touch with our state when it comes to this, ivf, all reproductive rights. it's going to be a problem for them. >> what are the top issues motivating voters in georgia right now? >> i'd say the same issues that are motivating national voters, the economy, immigration, very important actually to members of both parties. democrats are going to have to get their base out absolutely. there's also a group of about 200,000 swing voters who voted

for both governor brian kemp and senator raphael warnock in 2022. that is the sliver of voters both campaigns know they need to go after. they've got to have those independent voters as well. the economy and immigration are the keys to that piece. >> and christopher, what specific challenges or opportunities do you see in your state that you don't want the harris campaign to overlook? >> we cannot overlook that the former lieutenant governor, lieutenant governor duncan has endorsed vice president harris. republicans have been coming out towards the harris campaign because they know exactly what's happening and what's at stake. the opportunities are there to not only win georgia but win georgia in a fashion that will reverberate for years to come. this is a time that the harris campaign is focused and they're still expanding their own base. >> patricia murphy, christopher bruce, and tony cani, thank you all for giving us a deeper sense

welcome back. this morning we have new developments in donald trump's election interference case with special counsel jack smith asking the judge to delay the next steps before a trial. let's get right to nbc's ken dilanian. jack smith had been trying to speed this case along, but after the immunity ruling, he wants more time. explain. >> that's a huge question. it really is sort of shocking to see jack smith ask for a delay, this is a prosecutor who has tried to move with lightning speed on both of these indictments of donald trump seemingly mindful of the election clock. one legal expert i spoke to wondered whether this was a conscious effort by the justice department to put this case on ice until after the vote in november. when i talked to people familiar with the decision-making process, they said this is about the justice the president trying to figure out exactly what the supreme court immunity decision means and how they can move forward and win this case. the timing is now less important

to them. they pointed out that the supreme court criticized the lower courts for rushing this case without deciing whether any of the conduct included official acts. they are determined to take their time and craft a strategy to move toward. it's not just the special counsel, it's the whole department of justice. if trump wins the election and makes this case go away, thunderstorm out of their control. >> this move narrows that already tight window for this case to go to trial for election day even more. is there any scenario where that could happen? >> you can't say it's impossible, it seems extremely unlikely, especially it's now clear the doj is taking its time. the trump team will continue to delay. even if the schedule does allow a trial before the election, the doj may decide they cannot move forward with the trial of the republican nominee when early voting has already begun given rules about taking action that could impact an election. what's more likely to happen is a set of detailed hearings

airing out some of the evidence in this case, which will put mr. trump's campaign to push bogus claims of fraud front and center. whether that has any political impact remains to be seen because the former president continues to falsely claim there was fraud in the 2020 election, and that does not seem to have dented his support. >> ken dilanian, thank you. if you're thinking about buying a house or refinancing, listen to this, mortgage rates hit a 15-month low this week. the average interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 6.47%. that's about half a percentage point drop from this time last year, still a lot higher than the lows we saw in 2020 and 2021. lots of people are taking advantage of this decline, refinancing applications were up 16% last week. and in other market news, the s&p 500 had its best day of the year yesterday. it was a huge rebound wiping out all by 5% of its loss in that brutal selloff we talked about on monday. next on "ana cabrera

as we head towards the end. let's just focus on track and field there. so gabby thomas and sha'carri richardson are expected to feature in that 4 by 100 meter relay later today and quickly after that the men's 4 by 100 meter relay. we don't expect to see -- we don't expect to see noah lyles there, of course, because as you mentioned he ran that 200 meters effectively collapsed and needed medical attention, and then told the world that he had had covid. controversial moment because of course extraordinary to get a bronze medal while running with covid, and also on the other hand many questions today about whether he should have ran, embraced other competitors at the end. he had done interviews the week after he tested positive. that is going to be some of the controversy here, but as you say, many, many opportunities today for gold medals, silver

and bronzes for team usa. >> today is also the debut of your favorite sport, breaking. tell us more about what we should be looking forward to. >> sure is. going tonight to the women's breaking, sunny choi with a team for team usa to get a medal. they don't know which -- what music they're going to break to, the point at which the competition happens, so they really have to free style and they get awarded points on all kinds of aspects including creativity. i'm excited to be there. we should mention also, there's so many other things coming up this weekend, including the basketball. i don't know if you saw that game, but team usa almost crashing out against serbia until right at the end there. lebron james and kevin durant, it's amazing that it got so tight. >> steph curry was amazing too. keir simmons, thank you. great reporting all week long, and that's going to do it for us now this busy week. i hope you have a wonderful weekend. i'm ana cabrera rep
