3:00 am
the vice president. >> i'll come back to wisconsin all the time. >> and, we need you to vote early this conston winning wisconsin in our battleground between zero in on the badger state and how third-party candidates might impact wisconsin voters in this now celebrating what are the biggest comeback victory is in the playoffs to win the world series? >> all right, 6:00 a.m. yeah, i'm on the east coast would look at vegas, nevada where it's 3:00 a.m. both campaigns heading to that sun belt swing state today, kamala harris and trump will both hold rallies they're good morning, everyone. >> i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful. hold to have you with us
3:01 am
incredibly tight race where anything could make a difference. >> donald trump climbing into a garbage truck shall we say, striking visual designed to capitalize on president biden's remark that trump's supporters are garbage how do you like my garbage truck? truck is in honor of kamala and joe biden trump even went onstage at his rally in that bright orange vest and they said it would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage. i saw there's no way i'm wearing going to stage they said, okay, sir, i say get me my jacket. but if you did, you it actually make you look thinner? i said wear it on stage he was only referring to a
3:02 am
single trump supporter who called puerto rico garbage in a joke. but the remarks still recalled moments like these >> 47% with him who are ban leave, but they are victims who believed the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care and food, the housing, you, the best title of government should give it to them. >> and they will, with this president on how to just be grossly generalistic you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables xenophobic as lama phobic, you name it so that was both mitt
3:03 am
romney and hillary clinton is insulting millions of voters just days before an election. >> both of course, went on to lose. biden. the contrast here, of course, no longer on the ballot first of all, he clarified his comments but let me be clear. i strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for i believe that the work that i do is about representing all the people, whether they support me or not so this garbage truck thing, not the first time that donald trump, if former president, but also former reality tv star, has produced events to drive a message in a way that's hard to look away from that's the point, right but here's the thing. >> these events are also designed to get us to look away from what we shouldn't ignore to distract from what trump is saying about what happens after polls close on tuesday can you
3:04 am
imagine any circumstances under which you would be facing, but don't say that the election was stolen or was corrupt election but so far we're doing pretty well they found a lot of smaller things in pennsylvania, as you know, and i think they've been corrupted and take it. they were corrupt. they were corrupt. >> but i think it's been taken care of either way. >> will you accept the results of a fair election? >> yes. it's a fair election. he says, so. >> does he think it's going to be a fair election what worries you the most? cheating which one that which state? >> know all of them? i mean, they cheat all of them all of them. he says all? of them so when you're out on the trail covering a political campaign,
3:05 am
done a number of them. the job is to report what the campaign is doing. sure. that's the part that they want you to see. >> but it's also to make sure your reporting, what they don't want you to cover or pay attention to not to miss the forest for the trees and five days out, the campaigning is frenetic. >> but we may look back and say that this was the calm before the storm joining us now to discuss molly ball, senior political correspondent for the wall street journal, stephen collinson, cnn politics senior reporter, brad woodhouse, senior adviser to the democratic national committee, and matt gorman, former senior adviser to tim scott's presidential campaign. welcome to all of you. >> wonderful to have you this morning stephen collinson you often these sort of big sweeping pictures for us every day. >> i still don't i'm totally know how you do it but all of our readers very much enjoy it when you look at this, i mean, i think the moments that really stood out to me in both this event, he did it mcdonald's and this garbage truck show that there is still this question and this persistent situation where he is calling the election results into question.
3:06 am
obviously, the campaign wants to focus on what biden had said. but as we are barreling toward this election, how do you see these five days in this context think you put your finger on it right that the narrative that was developing about this week was all about the darkest closing argument of any modern presidential campaign. >> that wildwood valley, whatever the president meant, he gave trump a huge break. that photo-op allow trump to walk from his personal boeing 757 to a garbage truck, take up all the oxygen. >> it's a contract nobody is talking about out that rally, which was hurting trump among water rican voters in pennsylvania. >> now we seem to be moving inexorably to the stage where now in our elections we have the vote we have election day, and now it seems we have this prolonged period after its questioning. the validity of the election trump seems to be
3:07 am
laying the groundwork rhetorically for what looks like a pretty sophisticated legal effort under the under the hood here to challenge this election, if necessary. >> first of all, i was looking at brad during the mitt romney thing because we bought last i know 2012. >> i was when when the biden garbage comments broke, there's a little text chains among couple of romney folks like remember that night like i remember i wrote believe for the ap exactly where austin around being like, what's the content can we there's no real way. >> we rewind. there is there is no good answer and the white house tried they might and look as a point, i think we we're barely into this week with trump and the trump campaign at defense. and then quickly the biden came and gave him something to go on. offense. anything more acutely, instead of just rhetoric, what they've done really well, they've been funny and creative with things that can get them visually back on. authentic look like i'll step back for a minute to i think this is one of the things also where it if kamala harris
3:08 am
doesn't win, i think it's a little bit more indicative her campaign where she has been less likely to be that do that funny, your creative or even slightly less risky move, right? short and mcdonald's. she should have beaten trump than mcdonald's a month ago, right? on that sort of thing. and i think also do the rogan thing, do those little things things that can extend you're out there just a bit crystallized visually in their mind. get people talking about it. >> well, look, i don't think the mcdonald's things did anything for donald trump and i don't think riding around in the garbage truck does anything for donald trump are wearing an orange vest on stage that is only supplanted by the orange. the orange on his face, but but let me say this. so i do think that the biden folk controversy is just points out what you were saying which is we need to focus on what is going on in this campaign the harris campaign has geo tv efforts and this is a margin-of-error race. we believe it will be a margin of effort race turning out the vote in every single state the trump campaign and trump's allies have a voter suppression
3:09 am
strategy. and that is to go into every court. they're doing it in pennsylvania. they were successful with this effort, or republicans were successful in this effort in virginia, they're trying to knock out votes, not turn out votes. that is their strategy in this election. >> well, look, i think at this point, people understand that sowing doubt about elections is just something donald trump does, and it's not based on anything true or real, or substantive, or anything that's actually happening. it's something he's going to say no matter what is out there. and the same thing with these lawsuits, many of them are not based on anything actually happening there. just an attempt to see this narrative so hopefully after you know, after three successive elections in which he has made these false claims people understand that it is a rhetorical strategy, not not a real phenomenon, not something based in a rhetorical strategy mean we've seen in the polling that it has made people less likely to trust our elections. i mean, donor elections fall apart in the absence of trust absolutely. >> and that it's a real problem for that reason. and a lot of
3:10 am
republicans do believe it now the majority of americans believe accurately that are, that our elections are secure. but it is a real problem. i think in terms of the photo ops and the stands, you see that these campaigns have a different theory about who the undecided voters voters are at this point. the trump camp's theory is that the voters, they need to reach are the ones who are marginally interested in politics and will only pay attention if something funny or weird happens. so they see donald trump on a garbage truck and it's like, oh, that's kinda cool, that harris campaign's theory is different. their theory is that the undecided voters who we're still out there are conservative, leaning college educated suburbanites who want the president to be a serious figure. she's not doing these kinds of stunts because she wants to be seen as a serious figure. she wants to convince people that she's presidential. she wants to do things like the speech that i attended on the ellipse earlier this week where she is trying to strike that tone and have that stature in that gravitas because the the undecided
3:11 am
voters, they are trying to reach and get off the fence at this point are the ones who want to see a president behaving in that traditional presidential man. >> it's a really interesting way to think about it. molly, you also had, you're most recent story was a couple of days ago enough for the journal the headline is america is having a panic attack over the election. i have to say the anecdata in my own family and friends really does actually support this thesis. but what are you saying? oh, look at this. there are not enough gummies. i can take to sue the anc there's data to support this. >> it's not just anecdotal in our wall street journal poll that was released last week 87 of voters. so this is across the spectrum, said that they believe the country will sustain serious damage if their candidate loses only 10% that said no to that question. so people really do profoundly feel the stakes of this
3:12 am
election sort of weighing on them and i asked a lot of people attending political events, but also just rank and file voters at an early voting center outside atlanta how are you going to deal with this anx that you're feeling? are you going to get through the next couple? for weeks, particularly if you've already voted and there's nothing else you can do a consistent answer that i repeatedly got was drugs or alcohol but that is the answer that i got from numerous voters. scotch marijuana, gummies flooding mary's and caught me. >> everybody >> all right. still ahead here on cnn this morning, concepts of a plan, house speaker mike johnson hits at once again, going after obamacare, if republicans take control in washington, plus the dodgers, shutting out the yankees when an epic comeback to clinch the world sury's and the seat at the table, kamala harris sticks to her, vowed to listen to all sides as protesters crash to her rallies it should be

3:19 am
everyone has a right to be heard. >> the right nine speaking how she handled that. i think she's handled the protest extremely, extremely well. she's good on her feet. i mean, probably, you know, from being a senator of being a prosecutor for being from being in public life but i think the key here is what they're calling for that right there. ceasefire she has been for ceasefire president biden has been been for ceasefire, it's reported that she's been very tough in private on benjamin benjamin netanyahu and i just think about those protests. what do they think they're going to get out of donald trump? what do they think they're going go out of donald trump in his approach to israel, to netanyahu into the war to the war in gaza. >> that was web bernie sanders video is so interesting because he was making that pragmatic case. the problem is, this issue is so existential for many of these voters arab

3:26 am
about the temperature as you head out the door this morning with all the trick-or-treaters, it looks like it will reach the lower 70s. so along the east coast, mild, those costumes will be rather appropriate. and in terms of it'd be warm, warm, halloween, trick-or-treat forecast pass, but the cool weather is advancing eastward. and will finally feel the relief from this warmth heading into the end of the weekend. so hopefully you planned accordingly, kasie a warm trick or treat forecast for you news you can use derek van dam. thank you. i really appreciate it all right. >> still to come on cnn this morning, an epic comeback. the dodgers take the world series over the eye gaze plus a look at wisconsin in our battleground, feet, where third party candidates could prove to be spoilers cheating then happened back in 2020 he would have wanted for you are pretty odd yeah.

3:32 am
sanitation suit in green bay harris also spent her wednesday in wisconsin making her eighth visit to the state. >> are here campaign new polling from marquette university shows and essentially tied race between harris and trump when third-party candidates earning a combined 9% of the vote and amount that could surely tip the scales come election day. the gop linked super pac has been making robocalls to wisconsin voters, urging them to back green party candidate jill stein in over harris kamala harris will never stop the genocide in gaza. >> do not vote for kamala harris. you have a better choice. jill stein for president. there is only one candidate for president who will fight for our planet, support a real green new deal and ban fracking. and it's not kamala harris, it's jill stein all right. >> joining us now and ben wikler, chair of the wisconsin democratic party. ben, good morning. wonderful to see you. let's talk about this third party phenomenon because i was
3:33 am
just looking back to 2016 where in wisconsin trump's margin over hillary clinton was 22,000 votes approximately while jill stein, 131000 votes. and clearly, you can see in our polling that there is some discontent among people in wisconsin. how concerned are you? that a third-party candidate could throw this election ocean away from your candidate? >> well, the biggest third party factor in wisconsin the law is the law here. and we know that there are a lot of republican voters who do not want to vote for trump. we saw them voting in greater numbers for nikki haley in the primary primary than we're uncommitted votes in the democratic primary. in the spring elections here in the final stretch, i think there's a lot of republicans deciding, do they vote for rfk? do they vote for harris? do they vote at all? we know that there are
3:34 am
also people who disagree with vice president harris over over a number of policies. but absolutely we want to stop trump and our message to them is that if you want to ensure that trump can't come into the office, right? and absolutely blank. check to netanyahu, which would be bad for both israel and for palestinians. if you want to make sure that we don't wind up with a dictatorship on day one using us troops to crush dissent in the united states that harris is your candidate. but when you include the third-party voters in the electorate as the marquette university law school did. it finds that harris is leading wisconsin, grows the third party factor is worse for trump. and i think that could be a major factor as we go into the final stretch. >> interesting, ben one of the things that we've seen that i think it's a really interesting indicator for the presidential race is the tightening of the senate race, at which shows that tammy baldwin, the democratic incumbent, is that higher risk than many expected of losing to her republican challenger? and she's now airing ads that honestly seem
3:35 am
to hug donald trump a little bit. let's watch that and then i'll ask you about on the other side, take a look we can't let china's still wisconsin jobs. >> so i wrote a law to require american infrastructure projects. he's american iran and still tammy baldwin got president from the signer made in america bell she is invoking president trump's name. >> what does that tell you about where the electorate isn't wisconsin well, listen to what the person said and how they said it. this is about her by american provisions which she has been championing for years. and as the person said in the ad, she even got president trump decided she's able to move both parties towards pro united states economy positions. she's a champion for wisconsin workers he stands up to special interests what we can see in the polling is that the republican campaigning has been focused on getting trump voters to support eric hovde the public and candidate for
3:36 am
senate. now, are have you had some serious problems? adam schiff, the senate candidate in california, released a video last night saying to eric how do you please come home california needs you. i want your vote. you're one of our most influential bakeries. >> sure. that message also, pardon, who was on tracking my point is tammy baldwin is not out there saying donald trump is a fascist that's not her message. >> so i'm curious, just mean that does seem to mean that donald trump hat you know, it's onto something in wisconsin. >> well, she's running her own race, but let me say this. there's not a single poll that i've seen that shows that shows baldwin behind harris, that means that harris voters are supporting baldwin and she can go on offense into republican territory to get additional votes and increase the margin of victory all polls right now, find baldwin ahead. often, it's by a couple of points, it's not a big margin. and harris, in the polling averages is thyden slightly ahead. if you look across most
3:37 am
of the polling averages in our state, that means this could be a narrow classic wisconsin nail-biter election, but it's an election where we have a chance to elect both harris and baldwin in the final stretch. and i will also note harris is also reaching out to republican voters were on their turf at this point, making the case for republicans to crossover. and even if they voted for trump in the past, vote for harris and baldwin this time all right. >> we shall see it was of course the closest margin last time around in wisconsin right now, everyone seems to expect that's pennsylvania, but i got i don't got my eye on wisconsin, ben wikler. thank you. i'm very grateful for your time this morning. >> thanks so much. >> all right. let's turn out of this health care reform is going to be a big part of the agenda. >> when i say we're going to have a very aggressive first hundred days agenda. we gotta not things on the table. >> don't no obamacare suggesting republicans have plans for a major overhaul of the landmark health care law, obamacare, if donald trump wins the white house, kamala harris has warned that if trump is
3:38 am
elected, he would look to get rid of the affordable care act. >> while trump says he would improve the law. johnson later put out this statement clarifying his comments, quote the audio and transcript made clear that i offered no such promise to end obamacare. and in fact, acknowledged the policy is deeply engrained in our health care system harris' running mate tim walz, seizing on johnson's comments during a rally in battleground, north carolina. >> right now now that's weird because a couple of weeks ago, i was in a debate and center vance was standing right here and said, donald trump is the champion of the aca. >> donald trump loves the aca, and i responded well, why did he run on getting rid of it? why did he signed an executive order getting rid of it? why did he sign on to a lawsuit getting rid of it? and why did he try 60 times to overturn it was only the courage of john mccain, who said no her head, her panel is back out. >> matt gorman, is it useful for speaker johnson? i mean, he clearly felt he needed to clean this up rather fast yeah. >> real quick also, want to
3:39 am
watch it. i promise. >> let's talk about >> one thing to watch there is a third party rfk's still on the ballot. they cannot get them off. there is a scenario. i know republicans are white auction where have d could win and yet donald trump could do the share of the vote could be different because some of those voters could go to rfk on the presidential. one thing to watch, there i also think when it comes to the aca stuff, i think i feel like i'm having flashbacks to all the campaigns i've worked on it. did romney before and now with the nurses? >> but in 18 i think the trump campaign and trump himself recognize what happened when he started as president in office early 2017, going after obamacare? >> i don't think they would do that the same way again, i think if you talk to people close to trump, they wish they'd gone infrastructure or tax reform rather than going obamacare because again, as someone who dealt with house campaigns and 18 that was it crystallizing issue through line through the election. and so look we'll see what
3:40 am
happens. of course. but i think that's very acute still for the trump team let's be clear if they had a trifecta, they would try to repeal the affordable care act. >> donald trump said in the republican primary, this cycle that he wanted to terminate the affordable care act. it's known as obamacare what does donald trump hate? he hates barack obama. he has a thing about obamacare. he has a thing about the affordable care act. he couldn't on the debate stage say that he would preserve it. he said he had concepts of a plan and the transcript is clear. mike johnson said no more obamacare. this is a gift health care has been a top issue in election after election, after election. and this is going to be exploited in the final days yeah, let's talk come return to the wisconsin conversation for second because i also was kind of interested to hear in hearing what wikler had to say, there and stephen, i mean, this third party question was constant, was so so close in both 2016 and 2020 that the third party vote could very
3:41 am
much a throw this one way or the other and it does seem to me that in matt scenario where you have a republican senate candidate the winning, but donald trump potentially losing. >> that does, i mean, i think you would see a lot of republicans, trump's certainly raising questions about it in a way that's a little tricky to think about. >> sadly, they're going to look at any scenario they can to bolster this frankly, not true campaign to say that the election isn't fair to your point about the numbers in 2016, biden, i think one won by about 20,000 in 2020 yeah so jill stein's number from 2016 as well above that, my question would be whether people are voting for rfk because they want to cast the protest vote while they're still a little confused about what exactly is on the ballot. >> so the whole thing can be a real mess. >> yeah. i mean, it's generally the case that that third party vote share is higher in the polls. flynn, it is in the final vote because at the end of the day, most people
3:42 am
decide that they don't want to throw their vote away. but i think that this scenario that matt raises is important because, you know, i've spoken to a lot of rfk voters who who's who struggled with this, with him endorsing trump, who are not necessarily on board with getting behind trump, even though rfk has. and so the fact that he's still on the ballot, it gives them somewhere else to go instead of getting by hi trump. and so that is a potential third party vote that hurts trump instead of, instead of hurting harris. so you have this going in both directions and i don't think we can say which way that factor is going to cut. >> it will get going in another way. have these already very good race. he's turn this race around where it really wasn't as competitive. he asked him three months ago, he's he's gotten an offense against tape all went and look, there is a very real sense marrio, were he could be that third republican pickup very easily on election night where again, three months ago, never would have thought that there was no legitimate poll that has shown tammy baldwin running behind have the in in wisconsin to close race, watch their actions, don't
3:43 am
watch the polls, right? if you're invoking trump in an ad that tell us tells me that it is at least in the near term, if you have watched it, if you ever republican super pac trying to turn out voters for jill stein, it tells me something different about what republicans, i'm talking about the senate race well, we can, we can kind of go back and forth, but again, will you who else did that? >> kasie toss-up race are very, very tight race all these you're not doing it well, there's nothing novel about, about that. there's not comment. harris is reaching out to republicans, kamala harris is reached when you have top of the ticket calling her opponent of fascist i mean, it is is not running a single had in this country calling donald trump a fascist. >> she was asked a question on, you know, on a news program. and of course, shark is she's really dangerous when the closing message add case don't think they don't. >> trump's dangerous. >> i'm not that's not the point that i was running a campaign call when is saying
3:44 am
nice things about donald trump while the top of the ticket saying he's dangerous for you outline she did not say anything nice about donald trump, but she added that the ad said that he signed her bill well, that's a compliment to her, not to him. well, and i can bring this full circle because i was on the campaign trail with tammy baldwin in 2018, and she was talking about working with donald trump and she was going out to those rural communities and talking to dairy farmers and she was talking about buy american and she was talking gang about health care and she has always put a relentless focus on these bread and butter issues and on this idea of bipartisanship, so that there was the wisconsin electorate doesn't see her as a lesbian for madison. they see her as someone who is focused on their practical concerns. and that's why she won that race by double digits. and if she's going going to pull out this race, which is tight, which is in a presidential year, it's going to be because she has throughout her career relentlessly focused on those issues. >> very interesting. alright, coming up here on cnn this morning claiming fraud before the votes are counted. how

donald trump appears poised to challenge the election outcome. if things don't go his way. plus, why former republican governor arnold schwarzenegger says he's voting for kamala harris all comes down to this. >> we can now make a major projection the way only cnn can bring it to you. election night in america, special coverage begins tuesday, november 5 at four on cnn is to keep it from happening and pharmacy data with behavioral health data to identify members in need of care predicting and treating behavioral health issues quickly. while lowering costs for planned sponsors and

further, further comfort across the commonwealth that this election will be secure. >> it will be accurate right? >> a divided supreme court ruling that virginia can continue its program, which republicans say is aimed at purging suspected noncitizens from its voter registration rolls and in states across the country, officials are bracing for an onslaught of similar election lawsuits. some claims of voter fraud already spawning vicious online conspiracy theories. and of course, contributing to a tense election environment, forcing some election hubs to install bulletproof glass and provide wearable panic buttons for poll workers in what world do we live in debt poll workers need mobile panic buttons just in case? well, let me say it's the world we live in. what they're doing, work at i just imagined he showed up. there wasn't a port worker. how would we vote? so what they do is public service at its finest and
3:51 am
they're your neighbors, the people you meet at church out there at the ballfield for at the grocery store. just good people. just like everyone what else, you know, trying to get back to their community right, joining us now, jessica houston, she's the editorial director of vote beat jessica. >> good morning to you. let's talk about this supreme court ruling. and the election lawsuits that are popping up that may be similar in this case, it's focused on non-citizens voting, which is of course something that many republicans have focused on. but we do know there are instances where these are simply mistakes like the case of a woman in this case ohio a mother of two and columbus got a notice that she could pay face a potential felony charge if she voted although she's a registered voters, are documents at the state's motor vehicle department indicated she was not a us citizen, but hilaria who immigrated from the philippines was naturalized in 2022 she just did not renewed her driver's license since
3:52 am
2021. what are the potential issues here these databases are not perfect and vote beat has covered the case of a couple of people in texas who were given notifications that they were potentially noncitizens in the mail. >> how often do you check your mail? probably not often. these people missed the letters, and so were marked as noncitizens. we just profiled a trump voter and texas who was removed from the polls for from the rolls for being a non-citizen, even though she was born in the united states and raised here and that was because she didn't respond to a mailer. so this is this is all human activity. these databases are maintained by humans the checking that happens to make sure that the databases are correct, also done by humans. they make mistakes when we're talking about a number that's so small in the entire state of virginia 1,600 people. that's actually not a huge number at all and hundreds of those
3:53 am
people are likely to be legitimate citizen so the question of course, for a lot of this comes down to trust and the trust that voters have or don't have in our election system. and we're picking up a significant amount of distrust. let's listen a little bit to some of our reporters have obviously been out talking to voters across the country here in the final days of the race let's watch what some of them had to say why are you voting early on to make sure accounts want to make sure it account yes, sir i don't trust the system especially after last time it shakes you, right? i mean, to now have to be concern and worry about the safety of your vote if you really want your vote to be tallied and counted so clearly, many people are becoming more concerned about their votes being counted. >> what impact does that have? >> i think that it hasn't really big impact. i think that the republican party for a long time has been saying that the system is insecure, that your votes don't count as intended.
3:54 am
you can only say that so many times before people start to believe you and act accordingly. so fortunately, you found somebody who is satisfied with voting early. there are going to be a lot people that choose not to vote at all because they don't believe that the system is secure. and i think one of the most unfortunate things that we've seen is that people tend to trust their elections, but they don't trust the elections elsewhere so if you ask somebody why they think the elections are insecure, they're going to say because there unsecure in philly, because they're insecure in detroit right but they believe that there are local elections are doing just fine. and so i think it's distrust as the system of the system as a whole that is really leading to this environment all right. >> jessica houston for us this morning, jessica, thank you so much for your time. i really appreciate it thank you all right. now, this he's back. arnold schwarzenegger with a message for donald trump and the republican party hasta la. vista, baby the former governor of california, growing, joining a growing list of republicans
3:55 am
who are now backing kamala harris, schwarzenegger writes this, quote, my republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market driven up deficits and rejected election results i will always be an american before i'm a republican and that's why this week i am voting for kamala harris schwarzenegger went on to say that if trump wins, the country will just be quote, angrier and angrier more divided, divided and more hateful. >> our panel is back. i mean, look, molyneux single endorsement it's going to move the needle in a significant way, necessarily. but it is a statement about certainly wear schwarzenegger himself is, but where a swath of these more moderate republicans are here absolutely. >> and if you go to kamala harris's rallies, if you watch her events at every single one of them, she has got republicans introducing her. republicans are former republicans who are getting up there and talking about her candidacy as something that
3:56 am
republicans can support. so this is a major part of the campaign payne's message. now, trump also has democrats and former democrats supporting him. and so that's a part of his message as well. the rfks and tulsi gabbard of the world but, but, but you know, so much of the point of the harris campaign has been about this message to republicans, former republicans, conservative independents that she is a leader who will represent them, we'll bring the country together, will work in a bipartisan way and an effort to, you know, rebut the accusation from the trump camp that she's a far left liberal or a communist as he's called her. and trying to position herself, you know, more in the center and she needs that, frankly, in order to win, she needs some of that crossover vote. she needs. and this is the erosion that the republican party has experienced since donald trump has been the nominee since 2016, we have seen more and more of, again, these particularly upper-income college educated suburbanites
3:57 am
leaving the republican party and increasingly voted for democrats. and what you see with the trump campaign strategy of aiming at disenchanted young men is that they've largely given up on that vote. they know it's not coming back and they're looking elsewhere for the votes that will put them over the top. >> the question i have is do we have so far evidence that is actually working for harris in terms of early vote anecdotal stuff early on, would only take what a few thousand haley supporters in each state to potentially make a big difference? but i don't think we've really seen yet how successful, for example, liz cheney as she still an important force and getting those republican voters, we're going to know in georgia very early election i my opinion right, because to go back and full-circle when you talk about earlier in the show we look pensive voters, black and hispanic men, bradley, were targeting our campaign. obviously there's suburbanites. bucks county in
3:58 am
georgia. it's going to be the test of really those two theories at once, right? and so if harris is really closing georgia tough night could be for our side. if trump is over overperforming doing okay, we're going to live to plan and talk about that blue wall. and win-win the next round. it kind of it comes in. we're going to know very early on one thing we're seeing in the early vote is a big, big gender gap. >> and i don't think it's not exclusive to democratic women that went out to vote, but also, also republican women. so i do think that look, i don't know if we're gonna get a bunch of the of the male republican base that is tradition absolutely supported trump, but i believe that we're going to see a surge of women that are suburban republican women that are break with their husbands and support secret. >> woman she's talking about okay. >> absolutely. fair enough it is interesting that you say that i agree with you early if harris is overperforming georgia and north carolina, it's something that took to really keep an eye on early on
3:59 am
election night. >> all right. i'm going to leave you with this on this halloween. it is just before 7:00 a.m. here in washington, the white house still dark at this hour. we are of course, just five days away from finding out who's going to move into the executive mentioned next? here's the question though. will the winter be moving into a haunted house? the bush twins seem to think so dozing off, falling asleep, and then all of a sudden there is 1920s jazz music coming out of the fire pan know piano scares the hell out of us. >> you're not supposed to say that scarce, dreadful, dreadful a scare says according to the white house historical association, ghost sightings at the executive mansion are not uncommon. present ronald reagan reportedly told dinner guests that his dog rex, would go into any room and the white house, except for the lincoln bedroom. rex would bark frantically at the door and reagan believed it was lincoln's presence frightening his dog honest abe,

a common citing going back decades in the white house following his assassination in 18, 18651 of the more humorous tales belongs to british prime minister winston churchill, who was staying in the lincoln bedroom while visiting franklin roosevelt according to an account retold in the washington post, churchill had just stepped out of a hot bath in the lincoln bedroom and was wearing nothing but a cigar when he encountered lincoln by the fireplace good evening, mr. president churchill reportedly said, you seem to have me the disadvantage. what do we think is the white house wanted it should have been there what was the ghost of lincoln wearing definitely a top hat and nothing else do base were close? i'm
