8:00 am
we need a reset. >> as you know, bill, turnout is key. we've been told to expect very long lines tomorrow. >> bill: thank you very much. >> dana: we went around the country today. i loved it. >> bill: we've been everyone, man. >> dana: he has a good singing voice. harris faulkner is outside on fox square. here she is. >> harris: fox news alert. voter intensity more than 40 million americans have already cast an early ballot live on this election eve from fox plaza i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." governors under pressure from republican candidates like right here in new york making the very last hours very interesting. control of the senate is at stake as well. look at this. "politico" new puts six races in the toss-up coll you will. wisconsin, nevada, arizona,
8:01 am
pennsylvania dead heat and georgia. democrats crisscrossing the state to boost john fetterman. his double digit lead evaporated. both president biden and former president obama on the trail for fetterman. they lit into republicans. >> on tuesday let's make sure our country doesn't get set back 50 years. are you going to vote for republicans who oppose common sense gun safety measures who want to cut social security and medicare? politicians who seem to say anything and do anything to get power, and people who see you and know you and care about you and share in your values, who want to make your lives better and move this country forward and bring people together. >> harris: rick scott, chairman
8:02 am
of the national republican senatorial committee in "focus." let's go to bryan llenas in pennsylvania. >> dr. mehmet oz's final campaign rally will be here tonight in montgomery county, important philadelphia suburb where he hopes to sway swing voters his way. we're 30 minutes away from where nine people were shot on saturday in philadelphia. record crime has been a focal point for dr. oz's campaign routinely attacking democrat lieutenant governor john fetterman for being too lenient on criminals. last night at a packed rally in north hampton county oz hammered his opponent in his closing message. >> he seems to care more about the criminals than the people they've hurt. the innocent. and that's not what our values would indicate. in fact, being out of touch with pennsylvania values is probably the single thing that john fetterman has been doing for the
8:03 am
last few years tweeting out 140 character ideas that don't deal with our issues. >> yesterday in bucks county dr. oz held a round table with senator susan collins and small business owners of bringing balance to washington. a unity message he hopes will win over suburban voters and fetterman held a get out the vote rally in bucks county. >> do you think dr. oz has ever done anything about crime? >> no. >> in his gated mansion in new jersey? he never cared about crime. he never stopped it. just put out a crime plan on his website about a week ago. >> i cannot stress this enough. so much of fetterman's strategy has been hitting dr. oz on his wealth, celebrity status and new jersey roots. we'll see if it pays off
8:04 am
tomorrow. >> harris: the big question is does it make anybody feel safe? if crime is the issue, how is any of that applicable to what people vote on? we'll see. in "focus" now republican senator rick scott of the great state of florida. chairman of the national republican senatorial committee. great to have you in "focus." as we head into the last 13 hours before election day, tomorrow, what is something that you are focused on? what do you want to do for the state of florida and what do you make of what is happening across the country? >> well first off we have great candidates. the issues are on our side. people are mad about inflation. they are mad about crime and mad about open borders. so the whole key now is to do exactly what we've been doing, get out the vote. early voting headed in our direction. i think we'll have a great november 8th. i'm excited about at least i think 52 republican senators and i think we have a shot at
8:05 am
getting more. everybody needs to get out and vote. biden is helping us every day. he wants to get rid of all the coal plants and no more drilling. your gas price essential and utility rates are going up thanks to joe biden and the democrats. >> harris: in your race energy has been part of it, crime is part of it. all of it is rolled in. interesting each state now is a microcosm of what we're seeing across the country with democrats in control. what is your thought on that and we'll move. >> i think all across the country it is the issues are gas prices are continuing to go up, the economy is not perceived to be going well. people don't think we're heading in the right direction. candidates are doing a great job. they have a great message. so in crime you look at the shootings and fetterman as an example. he wants to release people out of prison. it is crazy. >> harris: let's get to this. new polling highlighting how
8:06 am
competitive the mid-term elections are right now. 48% of likely voters, those are people who count and those are people who voted early or will go to the polls, those likely voters saying they prefer a democratic controlled congress while 47% prefer a republican controlled congress. the opposite of last month congressional preference. i want to get your reaction to that, senator. >> well, here is what i'm seeing and what the candidates are seeing. energy on our side is unbelievable. i'm traveling around the country whether it's bolduc in new hampshire, oz or walker. or arizona, big turn-outs across the country. 500 people at oz's rally there. we saw it with marco rubio yesterday. we have big turn-outs. so i think the energy is on our side and if you look at the early voting, we are heading in the right direction. i'm optimistic and think we get
8:07 am
52 plus. a great night if people get out and vote. >> harris: that would be a big deal. >> i think we'll get 52 plus, house, senate and then we get to govern and so i'm excited about that. >> harris: what i'm pointing out are these last-ditch pushes by democrats. they are starting to move some percentage. democrats making big gains on enthusiasm. democrats and republicans tied at 73% among voters who express high interest. that's a good thing no matter how you look at this. people are into it. just a month ago republicans held a nine-point advantage in high voter interest. so you've seen a lot of the heavy hitters, the opposite party's big star former president obama, is that what is making the difference down the stretch? >> i think what's going to make a big difference down the stretch is independent voters and hispanic voters came our
8:08 am
way. republican national committee put an effort into getting out the hispanic vote. they're fed up. people are fed up with inflation, with gas prices, food prices, crime, border, these are things that people will vote on. i think that people are excited about this election because they know we have to change. when you look at the poll numbers and say is the country headed in the right direction people say absolutely not. >> harris: what's interesting, too, about what you are saying, when we have talked with voters about their intensity and we look at the large number of people who early voted, you are right about that. we are now seeing the largest number we've seen in a long time among democrats who want change. the democrats should not assume -- no one should assume if they picked up intensity that the intensity is for them among their own voters. it will be interesting. one more for you to react to. big spending this cycle. both parties shelling out record breaking amounts of gash on the
8:09 am
mid-terms. they .4.6 billion. democrats $4.0 billion in spending. what do you make of how much has been spent? by the way, i remember a time not too long ago in the primaries when democrats were spending money to help people on your side of the aisle win thinking it would be easier if they were part of the right to beat. they might not have been right about that. >> i think people are engaged. voters and everyone is engaged. they know we need to change the direction of the country. we have had big support from our donors. candidates have big support. part is our candidates are in the races. we're actually in the hunt to pick up half of the senate races. we're in the hunt to pick up seven. we'll pick up two plus and why donors are engaged. we made sure we're in the game all along and defined the
8:10 am
democrats early and it has paid off. >> harris: ronna mcdaniel pushed back on questions she has been getting whether gop candidates will accept the results of tomorrow's votes. let's watch. >> we want to make sure it's run fair and transparently and let the process play out and accept the results. when the process is played out and the votes are canvassed and certified, every one of your republican candidates will accept their results even if they lose. >> they will. everybody is talking about this election denier. we have democrats denying elections. >> harris: democrats have tried to make this stick election denier across the board. voters have told us time and time again through the polling that's not what they are focused on. besides, 48 out of 50 states have candidates on the ballot right now that people support who deny the election of 2020.
8:11 am
it is something that is already sort of in there if you will. i want to get your thoughts. >> i think people want to make sure their vote is not diluted and make sure elections are fair. republicans have said we need voter i.d. no ballot harvesting. it's important we do everything to make sure people know the elections are fair. if a candidate believes something is wrong they have to tell people that somebody ought to look at that. it's very important. we'll make sure it happens. rnc will make it happen and -- >> harris: if that weren't happening what would we have had in the past with al gore and the pushback democrats have said and stacey abrams in georgia saying that she was technically robbed of the votes and so on and so forth. plenty of examples of this on the left as well you make an excellent point. thank you for joining us on this election eve. good to see you. >> have a good day. >> harris: let's keep the focus on georgia's race for governor.
8:12 am
democrat stacey abrams is blaming misinformation -- democrats and stacey abrams for her declining support among black male voters. critics have plenty to say about the reasoning that she is showing on this one. plus president biden and the democrats closing argument. republicans are flat-out dangerous. they must have forgotten about these comments. >> this is a literally call to arms in our country. >> we have to get more active. we have to get more con frohn stational. >> you won't know what hit you. >> harris: you won't know what hit you. get confrontational. the double standard not lost on a lot of voters. martha maccallum will join me live on fox plaza in "focus" when we come back.

8:16 am
and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.
8:17 am
8:18 am
>> harris: all right. i actually have a countdown clock in front of me. the final day of campaigning for georgia governor brian kemp and democrat challenger stacey abrams. a rematch of their 2018 race. if abrams hopes to win this time she will need black voters, especially black men to vote for her at record levels. that may not happen. recent polling shows abrams support among black men in particular has fallen since 2018.
8:19 am
here is her take on it. >> unfortunately this year black men have been a very targeted population for misinformation. not misinformation about what they want but about why they want what they deserve. >> harris: biden advisor and former mayor bottoms backed it up. >> staci is spot on with that. i listen as my kids watch nba highlights. you and i were talking in the commercial how quickly the countdown has gone like three weeks ago. give me your thoughts on playing the race card in this way by stacey abrams. >> it's great to have class outside today. the last day of summer.
8:20 am
always good to be with you and look forward to working with you tuesday night. i thought it was kind of a mangled second sentence that stacey abrams said about how they are telling them what they want but they aren't telling them -- i'm not sure what she meant by that exactly. i looked up the numbers. if they are getting this information inflation at 9% in georgia, higher than the rest of the country. crime is up 4% in georgia. the numbers have not gone their way in georgia. so i was trying to dig into what that misinformation might be. and those are two of the most important things to voters right there. >> harris: i was trying to get into what the nba and nfl have been saying about it. i will watch the game five times. i don't know exactly what she meant. there is a familiar refrain from her as well. she will try the same voter suppression drum and beat that.
8:21 am
let's watch. >> what we know is the untold story is this is a tight race, neck-and-neck and we believe we're on a path to victory if we can get all the voters turned out to navigate the difficulties put in place by kemp to not only game the system but suppress voting in the state of georgia. >> harris: we talk about intensity all the time. it doesn't matter until people make the move. they have. we know early voting numbers in georgia are shattering records now more than 2 1/2 million people have already voted in the state of georgia, 2.3 million of those were in person. nationwide more than 40 million of you voted early. martha. >> those are very impressive numbers and this is the second election where stacey abrams is claiming that claiming that voter suppression is stacked against her.
8:22 am
the numbers don't point to that direction. across the country you have myriad opportunities to vote. whether mail in voting or early voting. but there are all kinds of opportunities to get in there and vote. so i think that argument -- i think at some point -- we'll see what happens election night between kemp and abrams. kemp is ahead significantly in the race. at some point the dog ate my homework won't work anymore. what am i doing not resonating with voters no matter what nationality? >> harris: stacey abrams knows that it is not resonating with voters. they can't involve it in the next 759 minutes. i'm counting. >> you are hearing a lot about messaging. they got the narrative wrong. i think narratives don't mean a lot when you are at the grocery store or gas pump. that narrative is quite clear. >> harris: let's talk about the democrats' closing argument.
8:23 am
democracy itself is on the ballot they are telling people. president biden condemning violent rhetoric during campaign events this weekend. watch. >> president biden: we don't settle our differences in america with a riot, a mob, or a bullet, or a hammer. we settle them peaceably at the ballot box. >> harris: critics are calling out hypocrisy there and pointing to these types of comments from democrats. >> i want to tell you gorsuch and kavanaugh, you have released a whirlwind and you will pay the price. >> this is an outright attack on women in this country. this is literally a call to arms in our country. >> we have got to stay in the streets and demand justice. we have to get more confrontational and have to make
8:24 am
sure that they know we mean business. >> harris: you know, when maxine waters was saying those comments and the comments that she said right after the death of george floyd, they were reprehensible. i was one of many who called the black community for her to clean it up because it is so incendiary but it continues. >> here is the problem with what the president said. i agree with you 100%. the problem is when you go back to what happened in brett kavanaugh the president didn't stand up. if he really wants to bring the country together, he needs to stand in front of the country and say it is absolutely wrong to threaten the life of a supreme court justice no matter what they have decided. that should have been easy for joe biden. it would have been easy for him, i think, through many of the decades of his time on capitol hill. but until you go there and you say look, there is fault on all sides. extreme violent rhetoric is not
8:25 am
good for any of us. he hasn't been willing to say that. he wonders why he hasn't been able to bring people together. that was one of the missed opportunities for him to stand up for brett kavanaugh and his family. a big moment if he wanted to bring people together. >> harris: when you look at his rhetoric over the last year or so i noticed it is less about whether he wanted to bring people together and certainly now it is not about that. he is showing literal hate for the other side with his words. i don't know what's in his heart. >> we'll see what happens tuesday night and i think we'll go deep into wednesday. some of the closing time for counting ballots. quite a while. be patient. the closing argument is a desperate message you are hearing from president biden, from clyburn and obama about the country about to be on the precipice of not existing anymore. that's very strong desperate
8:26 am
political language. we'll see how it goes. >> harris: kellyanne conway on a special edition yesterday that told me yesterday that resonated. she said democracy belongs to all of us. we are a republic. nobody can claim -- not one side can say it's theirs. i thought it was interesting. >> she has right and watched a lot of election cycles. until somebody is willing to call out bad behavior no matter where it lies, you will continue to see this kind of rhetoric. >> harris: martha maccallum and bret baier we'll continue to see you through tomorrow night. i'll also be with you throughout the evening with voters' voices. a live audience in realtime to get reaction to the candidates, issues. i'm supper excited to join them for that. it begins at 6:00 p.m. eastern on fox news. tensions boiling over in the
8:27 am
campaign for new york governor. an exclusive interview with ali zeldin supporter who was violently attacked at a kathy hochul rally. president biden facing pushback from some in his own party. his comments on coal that have the white house doing the walk back dance. is there music for that? >> if anybody here has folks that you love, that you respect in the emergency sector you can appreciate the fact we have a democratic party who is anti-american -- until now. younger women are living longer with kisqali when taken with an aromatase inhibitor in hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's proven to delay disease progression. kisqali can cause lung problems, or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections.
8:28 am
tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain... a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. your future is ahead of you, so it's time to make the most of it with kisqali. because when you invest in yourself, everyone gets the best of you.
8:29 am
8:30 am
8:31 am
8:32 am
>> harris: things are getting physical during a rally for new york's democratic governor. here is a bit of it. >> you can deny the election
8:33 am
like those individuals. >> harris: he put his hands around that woman's neck. suspect attacked and choked out the lee zeldin supporter at a kathy hochul rally over the weekend. the incident serves to highlight the issue of violent crime that lee zeldin says the governor is doing nothing to stop. our own eric shawn spoke exclusively with the weekend. we're glad she is okay. she was stunned that attack was happening. >> i was treated like a sub human. my feelings didn't matter. that, you know, just because i have an opinion that's different than theirs, that they have a right to enact violence against me and i feel like it was completely unnecessary. >> harris: we're glad you're okay. governor hochul held a 17 point lead over zeldin in august. now they are four points between
8:34 am
them. you think crime isn't taking a bite out of her? she is pulling out all the stops rallying with president biden last night. over the weekend former president bill clinton stumped for her as well. you know what he seems to have lost his way on this one. he started joking and mocking the very issue that has propelled lee zeldin's campaign. >> lee zeldin, he makes it sound like kathy hochul gets up everything morning, goes to the nearest subway stop and hands out billy clubs and baseball bats to everybody that gets on the subway, doesn't he? >> harris: pete hegseth. your reaction to bill clinton joking around about crime. >> joking around about crime while wearing a ukrainian flag lapel pin. nothing wrong with that per se but a reflection of how out of
8:35 am
step their priorities are with average voters. think about it. joe biden and bill clinton are in new york state defending the governor's race in new york state. they should be winning it by 20 points. the cover of the "new york post" if the jets can win, lee zeldin can win. we're talking about new york here. almost like allen iverson. practice and new york. we're talking about a place they should win blowing away. it is because their priority -- they mock voters who say i simply want to be safe or i simply should have had a choice as it pertained to a vaccine, or my kids shouldn't be indoctrinated or school. or prosecutors shouldn't have a catch and release program. they are mocked for voting on those things as opposed to the things the elites tell us we should care about. ukrainian pin. climate change, gender pronouns, that's what you should be worried about.
8:36 am
that's not how it works when you go to the ballot box. people have a different priority. the democrat party is ferociously out of step and out of touch. it is a sanity election. there will be a lot of democrats voting for lee zeldin in new york city because they are voting for sanity. they believe criminals should be in jail. >> harris: let's move to this. a new poll shows voters are looking for a new direction. 47% say they want a great deal of change from the way president biden has been leading america so far. that number is higher than what that same poll showed us before both former presidents trump and obama in their first mid-terms. people want more change than they wanted then. it is an indicator this mid-term could be a referendum on the president and a wipe-out for his political party. his first two years in office marred by many verbal gaffes and
8:37 am
growing concerns over his age, even within his own white house staff reportedly. haven't stood in the hallways myself. i would. just yesterday he stumbled during a campaign stop. we don't mean with his words. we are glad he is okay. >> president biden: we put a cap of $2 thousand a year for seniors no matter what their cost. >> harris: you hadn't seen that. >> what did he trip on? a small wire? >> president biden: -- >> harris: something that was the same color as the stage. i don't know. >> today joe biden is going to maryland where the governor -- the future governor will win by 25 points. that's where he is closing his argument. this mid-term election is the end of joe biden's political
8:38 am
career. he is effectively in maryland passing the baton who will be a future presidential candidate for the left. it is a passing of the torch. when the red wave comes, it is coming, joe biden's political utility is over. it will be the beginning of a race to the bottom of who will replace him. everyone inside that white house from the day he took the office knows he is not fit to be there. it is more and more obvious to everybody today. his political career ends in that building behind us the results come in tomorrow and the realization republicans are taking the house and the senate and joe biden won't be the nominee for the democrats. that's how stark this is, this vote coming tomorrow. >> harris: you make the stakes so high for democrats. that slip on stage was here in new york. the same place that we were just talking about that 17-point edge for a democrat governor. she is the first female governor
8:39 am
of the state of new york. she took over, kathy hochul, during a sex investigation of andrew cuomo that he stepped away because all of that was going on. the first woman steps in. she was celebrated by the left. >> she was set up for success. you can't do worse than what cuomo did and somehow she continued the make it worse by falling in on far left policies and not being actively engaged. when was the last time she talked about crime and be adamant. you haven't. that's why lee zeldin is up. >> harris: she and bill clinton were joking about it. >> when you mock voters that's a good election strategy. condescending to the people you want to vote for you. >> harris: great to have you. you are so patriotic. >> just for you and your audience an american flag. >> harris: look at that. >> it's a wonderful day. >> harris: 80 donna shalala in new york and people -- 80
8:40 am
degrees in new york. election eve a quick moment of excitement and gratitude about my new book faith still moves mountains. i want to share when i've traveled to the southern border and elsewhere this election season some of you came up to me with such enthusiasm and expressed how a book about the power of prayer is need right now and i shared with you that god's divine a signment of my life is to be a witness. i filled up the pages with people's testimony of the lord moving in their lives. god does hear our prayers and moves in his time. faith still moves mountains comes out on november 15th. you can pre-order your copy at amazon, barnes & noble or anywhere books are sold. my gratitude and heart to you for those of you already doing that. now to the news. 40 million votes already in the books. millions of people headed to the polls tomorrow. most will be casting their ballot based on the pain in
8:41 am
their pocket books. >> every time you went to the grocery store. every time you went to the gas station they have taught us their policies are wrong. what republicans are doing are fighting to fix all the crisis that democrats have created. >> harris: whose message are voters going to buy when their money is so tight right now they can't buy much of anything? inflation's eating into everyone's budget, but if you're a veteran and own your home, you've got a big leg up. it's your va home loan benefit. it lets you borrow up to a full 100% of your home's value. with home values near record highs, the newday 100 va loan can get you an average of $60,000. and you can lower your payments by $600 a month. pay down your high-rate credit card debt, personal loans, car loans.
8:42 am
best of all, there are absolutely no upfront out-of-pocket costs with this loan. rest easy, knowing you'll have cash in the bank during these unpredictable times. remember, your va benefit never expires. there's nothing like hitting the waves. there's nothing like volunteering. but my moderate-to-severe eczema can make it hard. now i'm staying ahead of it. dupixent helps heal your skin from within. so you can have clearer skin and noticeably less itch. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection.
8:43 am
don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. ask your doctor about dupixent.
8:44 am
8:45 am
8:46 am
>> harris: it has been great talking with voters as they go by today. what a treat for us. our fox news voter analysis combines a survey of more than 100,000 voters with realtime voting data to give the most accurate snapshot how the issues are playing at the polls. shannon bream is here with a preview of that analysis and we'll see it during our special coverage tomorrow evening. welcome to summer in new york. >> what is going on, harris? i love the weather you ordered up for your show.
8:47 am
>> harris: i do what i can. >> you delivered. >> harris: set us up. >> we're talking to people through october 31st and all the way through the end of voting on voting day. this captures people you wouldn't get in a traditional exit poll and people who voted early, people who will vote that day and people who exercised every option there is. capturing a better picture of the electorate. millions vote before we get to election day. how important was inflation to you in your vote? you can see we give people different options. we'll tell you come election night what's driving people. what about schools? these issues? worried about having the discussions with your kids about hot button topics and the reason you vote. are you voting for biden, against biden or are you really more about the issues and not about him at all? all kinds of data from all over the country to crunch as we wait for the polls to click down. >> harris: can you give us a taste? >> it is pretty consistent
8:48 am
across the board with polling every where else. economy and inflation top of the list. not a surprise there. >> harris: i'm not that surprised about that. the consistency is a surprise. what we've learned in 2016 and 2020 the polling can really go south. it can be really inaccurate at times. >> they have been beaten up and bruised in 2016 and 2020 and a little in 2018 as well. the polling has been all over the place on the races. you dug into them. the candidates may change, the issues have not changed. >> harris: as candidates have tried to talk about the issues, if they waited too late it was going to play out. we'll have to see how it ends. shannon bream. tomorrow night. i'm counting down in minutes. we're 742 minutes away. >> i love you're keeping the count. we'll get to seconds. >> harris: let's watch. >> when you look at the economic

situation in the country, it is strong. people are working but there are still struggles. people are what do you mean it's struggling at the kitchen table. the president didn't lay out his economic plan. the inflation, we're not double digits. i will acknowledge the fact we have plenty of work to do. >> the labor secretary has a big job defending the president. top white house officials and party leaders are circling the wagons in defense of the president's economic policies. those numbers give republicans a sizeable edge when it comes to handling inflation. they lead democrats on the issue by 12 points. chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee is catching a lot of flak over his suggestion that families struggling with sky high prices can do this. >> what have you done and what do you plan to do to help solve our inflation problem? >> i grew up in a family where

if gas price went up the food budget went down. by this time of the week we would eat chef b-- that's what families have to do. >> harris: i don't know what was happening there. jason riley fox news contributor is with us today. david car lucci former democratic state senator. jason, start with you and your top line thoughts what you just saw from maloney. >> well, the handwriting has been on the wall for some time here. the polls have consistently shown that the democratic messaging is not resonating with independent voters, with suburban women and other swing voters. that essentially is their problem. if you are a hard core democratic partisan you are probably going to be fine voting for the democrats but they need

those swing voters and most of the country thinks that we're headed in the wrong direction economically. not just the polls. i can tell you anecdotally my wife has a girlfriend, a mother of four young children and she said to my wife the other day i'm in the grocery store a couple times of week and thinking about food prices and i'm filling up the tank to run the kids around once a week. i think about gas prices. when am i thinking about abortion? yet that's all the democrats seem to be talking about. i think that's the type of voter that the democrats are struggling with. they want to talk about trump, they want to talk about abortion and voters want to talk about the economy and crime. >> harris: david before i come to you i will play this out from "the new york times." they are now calling out president biden for spinning his economic record. he has exaggerated his accomplishments and some claims have been completely inaccurate.
8:52 am
conservatives rejoiced. o one twitter user praised the piece for the white house misinformation. even nyt says biden is a liar. david. >> i wouldn't go that far. i think "the new york times" had an accurate article saying how the president sometimes gets the facts wrong. but he corrects it when he does. you contrast that to president trump and it is far and away in terms of who is closer to reality. you asked the question earlier about the polls and are democrats speaking to what voters want to hear? as a democrat i've been concerned. historically we know the president's party takes a shellacking in the mid-terms. the fact that the polls are this close and the democrats have closed that enthusiasm gap and we have the labor secretary rightfully saying that inflation would be double digits if the president didn't have the
8:53 am
actions that took place, that if democrats weren't able to get the inflation reduction act passed or the chips bill we would be in a far worse place. heading into election day that's something that republicans need to be concerned about as well. >> harris: you know i will step in, david. come on, faulkner fact checked that. inflation reduction act isn't built to do that and you know it. it is heartless to say it would ever do that. people were counting on that to happen and it doesn't touch it if. when democrats wanted to push that legislation so quickly across the weekend if we had had a wider public, more time to show them the cbo score it was consistent with analysts who said not until 2031 does it fall within the definite of the inflation reduction act even approach that by touching the deficit. >> we all agree it is hard to
8:54 am
tackle inflation. it is not one silver bullet. multiple steps. inflation reduction act and chips bill. >> harris: he didn't do anything. quickly jason i'm coming back to you for your final thoughts. >> well, i think the democrats' other problem is even if they wanted to talk about the economy or crime they can't. they don't have a positive message for voters. both things have gotten worse on their watch. they control the white house, they control congress. crime is up. inflation is eating up wages. real wages. wages after inflation are down. it is not just that prices are up. so they are out there trying to defend some of these impossible positions. if you are mandela barnes in wisconsin or fetterman in pennsylvania or tim ryan in ohio and you have to defend defunding the police it is tough to do in
8:55 am
these swing states. >> i'm feeling good. 40 million people have already voted. this is looking to be a record turnout for mid-terms. we don't know how they voted but it bodes well for democrats. when more people vote they do well. >> harris: things have potentially changed because democrats are wanting more change than ever before. i have to let you go.
