get your tickets. >> brian: will, you love this, right? >> absolutely i do. i have a 100% attendance record. >> brian: watch "fox & friends" weekend and we'll be there, too. coming up this sunday as 7:00 p.m. in new york history, liberty and lapse. fox nation, history to life. brian kilmeade.com to get tickets. we have special guests. if you love the country and want to be inspired and motivated, just go to fox nation, 7:00 on sunday night. meanwhile that's it for us. make sure you join us tomorrow and we'll review the town hall and bret's special interview. for now time to turn it over to dana and bill. >> bill: thank you, brian. let's get rolling midweek. 20 days to go. candidates on the move in a big way teeing up two big experiences -- appearances he

said right here today on fox news channel. could be experiences, too, it's why you have to watch. i'm bill hemmer, good morning. here we go. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." it's appearances for them and experiences for the audience. a big day around here indeed. the road runs through pennsylvania if you want to get to victory. jd vance will be there today and tomorrow. former president trump will be there saturday and vice president harris is there today. >> bill: that's her 11th visit and the site of her first fox news interview tonight. >> dana: she will sit down with bret bare at 6:00 p.m. eastern and then you will see the trump town hall on women's issues before that. that's moderated by harris faulkner and that will happen right at 11:00 a.m. today. >> bill: team fox coverage begins. kayleigh mcenany has analysis. rich edson reports in washington. first to bucks county, pennsylvania, washington

crossing, alexis mcadams begins our hour today. hello. >> good morning. bucks county, pennsylvania, vice president kamala harris has been to this swing state nearly a dozen times and counting so far this election cycle. shows you how important it is. she is in a swing county in bucks county, pennsylvania. the reason she chose that specific location, the delaware river where george washington crossed the delaware river back in 1776. the topic here at this park is about patriot focusing on the constitution and joined by 100 republicans backing her instead of former president trump. she says trump is a threat to democracy. >> a second trump term would be a huge risk for america and dangerous. donald trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged. and he is out for unchecked power. that's what he is looking for.

>> recently i've been going to some rallies and she is sharpening her attacks on former president trump and changed her m me media strategy. tonight fox news special report for bret bare. the more she talks some notice her responses sound canned. charlamagne tha god called on the vice president for being too scripted. >> what do you say to people who say you stay on a talking point. >> i would say you're welcome. the reality is there are certain things that must be repeated to insure that i have everyone know what i stand for and the issues that i think are at stake in this election and so it requires repetition. >> just days out from that election the race is very close. the latest "new york times" poll has harris at 50%, trump at 47% in pennsylvania.

today's event is in bucks county, a swing county in a swing state. for the first time this county has more registered republicans than democrats. both candidates will be 0ing in here. back live we're looking forward to hearing what kamala harris has to say in the sit down interview. the first time a democratic candidate sat down with fox news for a one-on-one interview. a lot of ground to cover in 30 minutes and the latest on that on special report tonight at 6:00. >> bill: nice to see you in pennsylvania. >> dana: meanwhile donald trump powers through the interview circuit. rich edson, where we can find him next. good morning. >> how about less than two hours right here on fox news? former president trump in georgia with harris faulkner for a town hall with an all-female audience. national polling shows a largely deadlocked race with trump leading among men and trailing with women. fox news poll found vice president harris had a 3% lead in georgia. a swing state with 16 electoral

votes that president biden narrowly won four years ago. before traveling to georgia trump fielded questions at the economic club of chicago in a sometimes combative editor with bloomberg's editor in chief asking him how he will handle massive federal deficits and cited where his plans would add trillions more to the debt. >> we're about growth. we're all about growth. we'll bring companies back to our country. we're going to bring the companies back and lower taxes still further for companies that are going to make their product in the usa. we are going to protect those companies with strong tariffs. >> harris campaign jumped on the trump interview calling it 64 minutes of angry rambling candidate who couldn't focus and when he did offered extreme positions. trump has a town hall with latino voters this evening and held a rally in atlanta last night. none scheduled for today.

his next rally is friday in detroit. dana, back to you. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: kayleigh mcenany, a lot to analyze now. good morning to you. nice to have you on. this is a preview of harris's town hall which follows our program momentarily here. let's roll it on climate -- migrant crime especially in places like georgia. >> good bulldog. he was on campus the day lakin riley was murdered. terrifying for all those kids, right? i wanted to know how quickly in a sanctuary city like they are calling athens, georgia, how quickly can you remove those threats to our society so our children can go out on a run as they rightfully should be able to do in a park in the daytime by themselves? >> we can do things in terms of moving people out. we can move them out of the sanctuary cities. we'll end all sanctuary cities in the united states and go back to normalcy and we will have law and order. >> that law and order goes back to 20168 years ago.

sanctuary cities is one thing. also going after migrant criminals meaning you have a criminal record in a previous country and you are here now. that is his focus. i think on the left that point gets lost. i think that point is very important. >> absolutely. you heard that mother say something i thought as a mother, something i think any woman in the country has thought, that jocelyn nungaray, a little girl should be able to walk to a convenience store without losing her life to someone who shouldn't be here. rachel morin should be able to go for a run and lakin riley. these are stories that haunt the american psyche of any woman in the country. spot on to answer that. we'll see his more extended answer there. to tie it to biden policies. biden came in and ripped up 94 executive actions that undid immigration policy. he had authority in the immigration and nationality yet. he decide he had the power and now evokes it.

hitting the personal side and going to policy is the way to go. >> dana: one thing charlamagne tha god he talked to harris about is the border crisis. let's listen. >> doesn't the biden administration have to take some blame for the border? a lot of the blame. the first three years you did get a lot of things wrong with the border. >> first thing we dropped was a bill to fix the broken immigration system, which by the way trump did not fix when he was president. we then tightened up the asylum application process. we then worked with what we needed to do to secure ports of entry. we did a number of things, including what we did to try and get that border security bill passed. >> problem it we lies belief. i was reading a piece this weekend. you had to get to paragraph 18 you found out the reason 56% of americans are for mass deportations is because of what happened the first 3 1/2 years. what would happen if she said we

could have done better and moved on and she keeps getting the same question because she doesn't answer it. >> she doesn't. we heard something a little new there. she said we dropped a piece of legislation upon first taking office. that piece of legislation was a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. the so-called bipartisan border bill and several democrats voted against did not come until after the death of lakin riley and after the mess they created. she fails to mention there are two years of unilateral government. they controlled the presidency, house and senate. if it were a priority you should have had a bipartisan bill through. hr2 was passed by kevin mccarthy in the house. call schumer and get it to biden's desk. >> bill: a border agent said i'm not doing this again. four years of hell. they did everything they could to make our job as inefficient

as possible. lots of guys that can retire will go. if trump wins they'll stay. we'll get into the gender divide next hour with martha. you can make the case that women will vote in force in great numbers because of the question about abortion no matter what state they live in. might be able to make the argument women will vote on issues like crime, like immigration, like their own sense of security in their own town. how do you feel about that? >> especially married suburban women. donald trump should be trying to crack into. harris excels there. she may be the democrat to get the greatest number of white women ever. she excels with this group. donald trump can eke in. the average suburban marriage woman, abortion is motivating to some is thinking about the kitchen table issues, thinking about crime in their communities and thinking how it is tied to immigration. so cracking into those issues making an appeal to these women and not just leaving them for kamala harris to get is a smart thing to do.

harris faulkner town hall will do that. i hope he does more appeals to them. >> dana: yes, everyone agrees we can't take four years of this. tim walz said that. >> bill: a twoer today. "the faulkner focus" town hall is 11:00 a.m. eastern time as soon as we conclude our program here. the special report interview with v.p. harris 6:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. you don't need to watch anything else today, right? >> dana: leave it right here. >> bill: 20 days and rolling. >> dana: a new report is heightening concerns about the violent venezuela gang tren de aragua. the heritage foundation claimed hundreds of dta members have entered the country in recent years and quoting former acting commissioner mark morgan saying this is a gang whose propensity for violence and ruthlessness is well documented.

they are expanding criminal operations like a slow growing cancer across our nation and crime that will be with us for decades. let's get to alicia a kuhn yeah in denver with the latest on the gang's activities. >> hi, dana. we have an incident that actually we just found out about that happened in november at an apartment complex in aurora owned by that company that also owns the other complex that we've heard so much about. we want to warn you, though, this video is graphic. cbz management says an employee went to inspect a vacant kept but found a group of men inside. cbz says the group attacked him after he refused a $5 hundred bribe. the victim escaped and went to the hospital. cbz says he later received threats over texts. aurora police arrested a man, a venezuelan migrant and member of tren de aragua. one of the ten police already

have identified as belonging to tda in aurora. it is now releasing these images to set the record straight. insisting gangs took over some of its complexes. the city acknowledges tda is present but rejects claims of a takeover and points to numerous code violations and court orders hanging over the company. separately the aurora city council just authorized its attorney to investigate whether colorado's governor and denver's mayor conspired to send migrants to aurora through ngos. >> how this happened. how much money went towards it. what the state's involvement was, what the city of denver's involvement was. >> denver mayor mike johnston's office said the city, quote, took what many saw as a crisis and turned it into opportunities by partnering with nonprofits to

help thousands adding had it not, there is little doubt that many of the 43,000 people who arrived in denver over the last two years would today be sleeping on the streets. dana, the governor's office also says that if aurora has evidence of a crime that the state will work with law enforcement. we'll keep following this. it is just beginning, dana. >> dana: yeah, looking at that video you just got, i would say that's pretty evident to me. it's shocking. thank you for bringing us the story and stay on it. we'll stay in touch with you. >> what bothers me is that isis is still out there planning and we have just taken our eyes off them. isis never left. we stopped our focus. >> bill: breaking details on an election day terror plot putting the biden-harris administration in a tight spot. why their narrative is no more than fiction. >> dana: the long road back to

learning. how asheville city schools plans to get kids back in the classroom following hurricane helene. what's considered normal for your cat is interesting. but if your cat isn't their quirky self lately, they may have pain from a common condition called osteoarthritis. now, there's solensia. solensia is a once-monthly injection to control your cat's oa pain. veterinary professionals administering solensia who are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breast feeding should take extreme care to avoid self-injection. self-injection could cause allergic reactions like anaphylaxis. ask your vet about solensia and help get your cat

>> the number will continue to fluctuate as more reports come in and others are resolved. as of today, the task force number of unaccounted for people is 92. >> bill: when you think about that that's the north carolina governor. the reality of helene. absolutely devastated communities there. cooper says rescue teams are working around the clock to locate those still missing. the number 92, he says. he also cautions the road to recovery will be long. the cleanup task daunting. indeed as we have seen so far. >> dana: one of the hardest hit

areas in north carolina is asheville and schools there have been closed since helene slammed into the area. administration there say they're hoping to resume classes by october 28th. chief of staff at asheville city schools is with us now. explain the scope of things you are dealing with. >> one of the biggest challenges we're currently faced with is after the hurricane hit asheville, we completely lost our water infrastructure. the primary pipe as well as the backup system. completely washed down the river. so we were without water, we were without electricity, we were out connectivity. we had over 200 cell towers that were down. it was very challenging to

account for our staff. we have some amazing principals who are very diligent. we even had principals who hiked in to find their staff members to make sure they were safe. once we accounted for all of our adults, then our principals put together a team of teachers to start accounting for our students. i have to say that our city of asheville water department has literally worked 24 hours a day around the clock to get the water infrastructure restored. to help support us in getting schools back in session. >> dana: we heard the governor say there are still 92 people missing. does that include any of your students or faculty? >> we are very blessed to say that is not any of our students or staff that are in that number. >> dana: given that so many roads have been washed out and bridges need to be repaired, i know the goal is to get school back in decision on

october 28th. how do the kids and teachers and the faculty, how do they even get there? >> so we have been -- our principals have been communicating with staff asking them do they have any barriers that will prevent them from coming back to work. our transportation department is working on establishing community stops and pickups because we're not going to be able to travel all of the roads in their area until dot does a final inspection on all the roads and still we have some of those roads that are washed away. school nutrition team started serving meals on monday. grab and go meals at one of the elementary sites for any student up to age 18. those are cold meals. not at a point yet to start preparing hot meals. water is starting to be restored to all of our campuses minus two

had water yesterday. the problem that we're faced with right now as we approach that october 28th day is that we are going to need bottled water for our students. we hope to have flushable water in all of our campuses at that time. but today i will be working on procuring bottled water for all our students and staff. >> dana: you need bottled water at asheville schools. >> dana: will the teachers get advice how to help students while they are going through the trauma on their own? >> yes. we are also building in teacher workdays and our director of special and emotional learning will be working with our teachers to help prepare them along with school counselors and social workers to help come up

with lessons to prepare students for that return. we know that the primary thing that we'll need to focus on is our students' well-being making sure they are okay. they've suffered a lot of trauma from this experience and also, you know, we're already having social and emotional issues coming out of covid. we'll be very intentional providing those supports and we also started back this week offering bridge to learning for our k-12 students where they are able to come to one of our elementary schools and we provide activities and teachers are there from all of our schools and support staff as well as our school nutrition team to provide meals. we're working and being very intentional in what the return to school looks like. >> dana: what is needed in a crisis is somebody with a cool head and knows how to get things done. they have that in you. doctor, thank you. keep us posted on what you need.

>> bottled water is what we need. >> bill: good luck to asheville and others there. 25 past the hour. middle east news. israel firing on hezbollah overnight striking the iran-backed military facility after a week of holding their ground. we'll take you there coming up. democrats calling one state's voting laws jim crow 2.0. the reality as of now looks a whole lot different. record breaking turnout is blowing those claims out of the georgia red clay. >> want to make sure. this election means a lot, you know. so we definitely need to get out there and cast a vote. balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

recent bombing campaign that israel has been carrying out. they said it in a strongly-worded letter, bill. >> bill: hum. dana, on the board america likes early voting. apparently it's more and more popular every year. want to show you a segment here on the trends going back to 2004. democrats in blue, republicans in red. independents in gray. now, democrats typically have voted in greater numbers on an earlier basis than republicans and independents. going back to 2004. look what happened in the covid year of 2020. that's pretty remarkable. the top line is democrats easily out pacing republicans and also independents as well. even right here with the lines cross. here is where we are now. this is 2024 now. democrats with a slight lead and republicans coming up in third on the early voting tablet. here is what's interesting in georgia. early voting started this week, okay? here is what we found from the

secretary of state's office. in 2020, 136,000, that's a really good number in the peach state. it was a covid year where a lot of people turned out. yesterday blew it out of the water at 305,000 in georgia. peach state is one of these battleground states that are lit up in yellow, okay? all seven on the map is where we've given a lot of our attention. want to bring in smart guys who help us understand this stuff and do deep data dives every morning. josh and marc thesen, fox news contributor. josh, every morning you wake up. you log on and you are looking at these numbers and trying to figure out a trend and see something that you can say there is a story there. what do you think of georgia or something else on the map thus far? >> well first off, bill, credit to the georgia election officials led by secretary of state who has taken a lot of

heat from the left and right. you have record early voting turnout in georgia. no signs of any issues despite that controversial 2020 law that governor kemp passed that all the left wingers said would ruin and cause chaos in georgia elections. one of the smoothest early voting processes so far in 2024. a lot of that hype and just fear mongering has not transpired. what do i see in the numbers, bill? look, more republicans are voting early even though democrats significantly outpace republicans. republicans used to not want to do early voting at all. donald trump dissuaded his supporters to voting early but it is becoming more common and seeing in the georgia numbers somewhat more republicans getting used to the practice. >> bill: marc, do you see a trend? can you point to anything that you say this is interesting? >> well, i think the people who are going to vote right now are

decideds. but the truth is there are still a lot of persuadeable voters in georgia and other swing states. "the new york times" poll found that they did a poll of georgia, north carolina, and arizona swing voters. 18% of the electorate either is undecided or leaning towards trump or towards harris but still could change their mind. that's a very, very big segment of the electorate that still hasn't shown up in georgia voting booths yet. those are i would call a lot of those people reluctant trump voters. i think 58% of them their number one issue are issues that favor trump like immigration, inflation, jobs, only 35% have top issues are things that favor harris. largely male, largely no college and they are moderate to conservative. 66% are moderate to conservative. votes are waiting for trump to grab them. but he needs to make the sale. they aren't concerned about

abortion or not concerned primarily about threats to democracy or the criminal charges against him. 43% say that their number one concern is his temperament and character. so they like trump's policies. they aren't sure they like him. not sure they are willing to put him back in the oval office and they don't like harris so they are struggling with their vote. >> bill: i don't think you can compare 2020 to 2024 yet. maybe we can in a week or two. given the fact there was a covid year, a lot of concerns, a lot of people voted early because they wanted to avoid crowds. that's an impressive number in georgia. let's see if it maintains that or if it is anxious voters who want to get their vote in early. we'll see. josh, you mentioned the jim crow law. here we go. you saw the turnout. you tell me how many people are disenfranchised. let's roll it. >> president biden: convinced we'll be able to stop this. it is a most person i shallous

thing. this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. >> we're witnessing an assault on voting rights unlike anything we've ever seen since the jim crow era. >> i do absolutely agrees it is racist. jim crow in a suit and tie. >> bill: put a string on that and pull it back now, huh, josh? >> bill, it is hard to imagine it was just in 2021 when the major league baseball pulled the all-star game out of atlanta in response to that partisan rhetoric you just heard. i haven't seen stacey abrams on the campaign trail. i haven't heard kamala harris or any democrat talking about voter suppression. the law has been passed and it has been largely successful. you don't hear that kind of rhetoric anymore. it shows you how partisan it was. >> bill: trying to get through this, josh, thank you. election lab reports that in

2024, 5 1/2 million americans have voted already. but in 2020, that number was 27 million. so, marc, i don't know what's going on out there if that number is right. last comment on that. >> simply the game is to persuade the persuadeable left. people going to the voting booth today have made their decision. i voted yesterday. that's the first time i've done it and the earliest i've done it. there are still votes on the table. you can't leave them on the floor. >> bill: thanks, marc and josh. bring you back soon. you can give us all your data that's deeply hidden and you can nerd out with dana and me. thanks, guys, talk to you soon. >> dana: they are the best nerds. the biden-harris administration now admitting a suspected afghan terrorist was not vetted or approved of special immigrant status like they originally claimed. the troubling reversal. he is accused of planning an isis-inspired terror plot on

election day. david spunt in d.c. with details. >> we have been asking questions since tawhedi's arrest and different agencies point the finger at each other suggesting we ask the next agency. it appears the vetting wasn't quite as thorough as we were originally told. the 27-year-old planned to kill as many people as possible during an election day massacre foiled by the f.b.i. he sitting behind bars in oklahoma under arrest facing up to 35 years behind bars. he was arrested a few weeks ago and came to the united states in september 2021 as the u.s. pulled out of afghanistan. he worked as a security guard outside the military base perimeter, contracted through the c.i.a. and moved to the united states. previously we were told he was vetted three times. once to work for the c.i.a., two times to come to the united states on humanitarian parole and then the third time when he was approved for special immigrant status after coming to the united states. we're now told that special

immigrant status vetting did not happen and he wasn't approved. officials tell fox news he was subjected to recurrent vetting as part of his dhs parole status. the department of homeland security said no red flags were raised in the initial vetting. >> when we vet, we do so intensively. when we vet an individual it is a point in time screening and vetting process. if we obtain information subsequently that suggests the individual could be of danger, we take appropriate law enforcement action. that is exactly what we did in this case. >> three sources dispute how well he was vetted by homeland security. f.b.i. working to figure out if he was radicalized before he came to the united states or after. if it turns out it was before he came to the u.s. and was allowed here and then planned an attack, it raises more serious questions. we've reached out to the department of homeland security to see if there are any updates since secretary mayorkas on sunday.

>> dana: he said he could out last jackui heinrich. >> good luck. >> dana: thank you, david. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: bill, a cold bat turns red hot at just the right time. watch. >> first two r.b.i.s of this pro-season. sends one high and deep to center field. did he get it? back on it is thomas. he is at the wall. he got it. it's a two-run home run. aaron judge finally connects. his first home run of this postseason. >> dana: aaron judge blasted a two-run home in the second game last night capping a yankee's within against the cleveland guardians. his third r.b.i.enter the yankees lead the series two games to none. his third r.b.i. ?

i know what that means. he is not very good. >> bill: he is a player. they go back to cleveland. the guardians have a good team. great pitching staff. >> dana: does it make you sad as a cincinnati reds fan? >> bill: that we're not in it, yes. the deal about ohio. when you are in state you hate each other. when you are out of state you're all brothers and sisters. >> dana: england and scotland in soccer. >> bill: this is clever. this mayor has a mets and yankees hat on. smart for a politics, i would imagine. >> dana: i don't think so. just take a stand. >> bill: no. >> dana: why wouldn't he just be yankees? >> bill: the mets are in the same city. >> dana: well, i don't know. i think you have to choose. you know what happens when you split the baby. anyway. i wouldn't wear that hat, no. >> bill: we'll see if we get a

>> i will do, it's a program that's about a $20,000

non-refundable loan which will directly impact a lot of small black-owned small businesses. >> dana: vice president harris laying out her opportunity agenda for black men including small business loans of up to $20,000. some critics calling it unconstitutional. let's bring in ian sams, the harris campaign senior advisor. something came to mind yesterday. before you were at the harris campaign you were at the white house, a spokesperson. a lot of the legal issues you were handling and very well, i will say. at that time, president biden was already losing ground with black voters and black men in particular. if you look at this poll here from july 2020. this is before -- 2024, before he left the race. he was -- he won in july of 2020 by 64 points. but then in 2024 it was only by 42 points. were you aware of that slippage of support from black men at

that time before harris took over as the nominee? >> well, thanks for having me. i think when you look at the polls of black voters generally speaking right now, a lot of them are finding that the level of support the vice president has is equivalent to the level of support that president biden earned in the election in 2020. and so we will see where this all shakes out in terms of which group of people across this country are vote ping for which candidate. what she is doing now and what i'm sure president trump is doing as well is trying to earn people's support. we have three weeks until election day. at this stage of the game you want to hear from the candidates what their ideas are and who they are fighting for. for example, today vice president harris is in pennsylvania with over 100 republicans who are endorsing her candidacy for president over president trump. at the same time that president trump is fox news town hall today doubling down on the idea his fellow americans are the enemy. these are two very different visions.

a lot of people out there trying to make up their mind about who to vote for in this election want to hear candidates who bring everybody together and take the temperature down and turn the page on the chaos we've seen over the last decade or so. that's what she will be doing today in pennsylvania. >> dana: joe klein, a democrat who wants kamala harris to win and writes about this in his newsletter saying no sooner do i congratulate her in the "new york times" for not playing identity politics but she starts playing that for black men, forgivenable loans, bribes, to black male entrepreneurs. that means weak, cave and unnecessary concession to a tiny demographic. i go back to this idea as well. president obama when he addressed black men maybe you don't want to vote for her because she is a woman. i pointed out biden was losing support from them as well. that's not sexism. it is probably not ageism. is there a concession from democrats they have a problem

with policy? >> let me set the record straight on something real quick. vice president harris said this in the interview you showed last night. her plans will benefit all americans. she will offer for small business people who want to start a small business. right now you get a $5 thousand tax deduction. average startup costs for a small business is $40,000. she will take that and expand it to $50,000 for all americans. first time home buyers $20,000 down payment assistance. >> dana: you can see it will increase the cost of housing. >> no, i don't at all. a lot of independent experts have said it is a is smart proposal to help increase the stock of houses. she will work with the private sector to build 3 million new units of affordable housing to make more affordable housing available. people are struggling to find. >> dana: many of them. if i was selling a house and they said you will get an

$20,000. it's $25 more. that's logic. here is the thing. i am so glad that she is coming on fox news tonight. you are a little bit of the warm-up act and you've been very generous with your time coming on the shows and we appreciate that and we'll see how it goes tonight. i will be on the panel after ward. >> she is looking forward to speaking to fox news viewers. there are a lot of people out there who haven't heard from her directly about where she stands on these issues and it is important to be on fox. fox has a big audience. a lot of people across this country trying to make up their mind in this election whether they'll vote for donald trump again or whether they may want something different. i think vice president harris is looking forward to the opportunity to talk to people on fox news about her plans to help bring costs down for people and make healthcare more affordable and help seniors get access to in-home care on medicare. it is important. >> dana: it is true. we have more republicans, independents and democrats that watch. maybe even some people that you

know. all right. ian sams, good to see you. >> bill: a fiery debate between ted cruz and colin allred in texas. this is a race to watch. show you the big takeaways on that pivotal race when we return right here.

wouldn't miss a chance to remind cruz of when he escaped the cancun during the deadly winter storm. congressman colin allred focused on abortion issues accusing cruz of distracting voters and avoiding direct exceptions like rape. senator cruz continuously called out allred for his current position on border security and transgender athletes not aligning with his past voting record. listen to some heated moments between the two. >> i don't support boys playing girls sports, i don't. >> why did you vote for it? >> what i think is folks should not be discriminated against. what senator cruz should try to explain why he thinks they should. it is not funny. are you a threat to democracy. >> his voting record is radical and extreme. voted against the border wall three times. >> recent polls right now have cruz up by five points. agaian
