media writing, quote, this is how dictators destroy free nations. they threaten those who speak against them with death. we can't entrust our country and freedom to a petty, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. >> our decision 2024 coverage begins with nbc news white house correspondent aaron gilchrist in milwaukee following the harris campaign and then we have shaquille brewster in michigan where former president trump is holding a rally later. shaq, former president trump just responded to what we were just laying out, that criticism of him for his comments last night. what is he saying? >> reporter: you know, in a close election it's clear that anything can move the needle here. throughout the morning his campaign responded aggressively in somewhat a damage control mode saying his statement was taken out of context. saying it's media spin and fake media outrage. we're hearing from the former president himself via truth

social. we have it up on the screen for you. quote, all i'm saying about liz cheney is she's a war hawk and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn't have the guts to fight herself. he goes on to say that essentially if you were to put her in combat she would not choose to do that when she wants to send other people into combat. that mirrors the language you heard from his campaign throughout the day. i think this goes to show how tight this race is in michigan. michigan is a state that donald trump lost in 2020 after winning it in 2016. we also know that in this race in the sprint to the finish as we close out the campaign it will be here in michigan he makes his last stop, according to what sources are telling our campaign embed jake trailer. this state is extremely important. he's been here a lot. he's back now and he's trying to clean up that message and what she says about liz cheney as he tries to shift the messaging to the economy and focus on auto

workers. >> shaq, thanks. aaron, let's bring you in. today's the last day vice president harris is scheduled to be in wisconsin before the election. what's the campaign saying about her closing message? >> reporter: well, i think the message is partly what you played a few minutes ago when you heard the vice president saying that because of the statements that donald trump has made and is making he is unqualified to be president. she's going to continue to make that case. she's making three stops here in michigan today touching down just a little while ago. the first stop is a union hall where she'll talk about her economic plans and how they'll benefit union workers. then she'll head north to a community event where she'll talk about the affordable healthcare act and keeping the affordable healthcare act and making medicare more affordable for families and finally she'll end up in the milwaukee area with a big concert and rally. she'll have performers on stage. you'll hear remarks from cardi b

and keegan-michael key in this blue county that's critical for vice president harris. she says those folks are targeting younger voters and nontraditional voters, trying to make sure they get out to the polls and vote in this area that was critical in 2020 for president biden to win and critical again this time for vice president harris here in wisconsin before she moves on to georgia and north carolina tomorrow. again trying to get people to get out to vote by tuesday. ladies? >> everyone should turn out. aaron gilchrist and shaq brewster, thank you both. millions of people will be casting ballots in this final weekend. >> across the country at least 65 million people have already voted early. nbc's liz kroits is in scottsdale, arizona. liz, good to see you. last day of early voting in arizona. this year the ballot for most

voters is pretty long, two pages. explain why that is and how much of an impact it's having on wait times. >> reporter: it's a beast of a ballot. some ballots have 79 contests. there's an abortion access initiative, border security initiative, propositions helping to drive turnout. it's simply taking longer to fill out. some people saying 15 to 30 minutes if they're going to vote and don't know how they're voting on every issue. it's leading to longer lines at polling locations. this is in scottsdale, maricopa county, an area that leans republican, but has mccain republicans that leaned for biden. democrats are hoping to win over those voters. the republican is making a big ground game. they're handing out a conservative voter guide, walking voters through how they

want them to vote hoping that will ease things. here's what voters had to say about the line. >> you expect such a long line? >> not particularly, but it's okay that there's a long line. i'll wait however long it takes. >> were you aware there would be such a long line? >> we expected it, yeah. >> why are you out here to vote? what made you want to come out and vote in person today? >> i don't know. >> to get it right. >> make sure we're getting it done and not doing it at the last minute. >> they moved it into a tiny room knowing that the line will build and people won't be able to remain. you have to sit through this long line to vote. >> reporter: guys, it's important to point out that guy is an example among republicans there's a lot of questions around the election process. that gentleman thought seeing these long lines was a sign of voter suppression in some way. as we head to election day and continue to see long lines, the

impact it might have on voting and counting with ballots and could have an impact on the perception of the voting process. >> liz, thank you. join us for decision 2024 coverage on election night. coverage begins at 5:00 p.m. eastern, 2:00 p.m. pacific on nbc news now. it picks up on your local nbc station at 7:00 eastern, 4:00 p.m. pacific time. i'll be anchoring the overnight. if you're staying up late, you'll see me. a new economic report is getting a lot of attention, not only because it's the last one before election day. >> america added just 12,000 jobs last month. economists were expecting around 100,000 more jobs in october despite the underperformance the unemployment rate is holding steady at 4.1%. economists point to three major events to explain the job market -- the ongoing boeing strike, along with the aftermath

from hurricanes helene and milton. let's bring in christine romans who has been looking at the numbers. given those three factors, what should we take away from that number that was disappointing to some economists? >> this was a one-off. the numbers will bounce back once the boeing strike is fixed. that's 46,000 people off the job right now because of the boeing strike. then the southeast, as it ramps up with recovery, there will be jobs added that. this was one month, the smallest job creation for the biden presidency. when you look within the trend and you can see month after month of solid job growth, resilience. 4.1% the unemployment rate. that's historically low. we saw job gains in other areas. declines in manufacturing and

hospitality. you saw gains in construction and health care. >> whoever wins, they'll be inheriting a healthy economy. what's making it so strong? >> it's remarkable. the economy is strong and voters say they don't believe it. whoever is the 47th president of the united states inherits a gdp in a two-year win streak, unemployment near a 50-year low, small business creation that is booming, inflation that is coming back more toward normal and wages that are rising sharply. we've had wages rise faster than inflation now for 19 or 20 months. at some point that might help people feel better. the pandemic exposed cracks in the economy like child care, elder care, insurance costs, housing. that's the problem. >> thank you. time for cnbc money minute. your 401(k) limit got a boost. big news out of hollywood

texas hospitals now have to ask patients whether they are in the u.s. legally. it comes after an executive order from republican texas governor greg abbott which makes the hospitals track the cost of treating people without legal status. patients have the right to not respond and hospital workers must tell them their response will not impact the level of care they receive. when announcing the policy, abbott said that texans should not have the burden of supporting medical care for illegal immigrants. there are just four days left until election day and officials in erie county, pennsylvania, are preparing for a long election night. it went for former president trump in 2016 and president biden in 2020. it's in a state that doesn't start counting ballots until voting ends. that includes drop off, mail in and absentee ballots.

potentially have been done in a way that was insidious than they have been about protecting my wife who wants to be a mom. there are many black women who want to be mothers. >> i never missed a pre-natal visit for either of my sons. my wife never missed a pre-natal vitamin. we went to la mazz classes. i held her hand. i looked the doctor in the eye and let them know she had a husband here willing to die for her. none of that was enough to make sure my wife walked out of that hospital to raise her sons. for me, although there was nothing i can do to bring kyra back, the highest honor we can pay her, the highest honor we can pay yolanda so to make sure we do everything we can, which includes electing people that

prioritize maternal health and aren't ashamed to say black maternal health. >> reporter: there's questions certainly about abortion and reproductive rights. in the broader conversation in the wrinkles are issues like ivf. some states that banned abortion consider life beginning at conception. how do you store embryos? can you destroy unused embryos? all this is wrapped up in what it means to stand up for reproductive rights. >> really powerful to hear people talk about the policies. appreciate it. there's a different kind of football that dominates on the continent of africa. >> i spoke to current and former players working with the national football league to recruit american football talent in africa. >> reporter: the nfl is in a blitz to expand america's love of football to the world. >> doesn't matter where you're born as long as you're born to

poverty. a lot of those guys are struggling. i want to give them the same opportunity i had. >> reporter: opportunity growing as more players reach the goal line each season. >> africa is a really big pool of talented kids like myself. it's all about just providing them with opportunities to, you know, chase their dreams. >> i didn't go to college here. i didn't have any time in america. to make it to the league, yeah, you can too. >> the nfl continues to host those training and recruitment events across the continent and they continue to have plans to develop the game with the hopes of retaining top talent. >> that was fascinating. >> it was incredible. i learned so much. beautiful to see on the continent this investment in the young people. >> for sure. thank you for that. >> of course. up ahead, there is a new

many young people feel discouraged about the economy and that's leading them to reach for their wallets. >> hi. >> doom spending implies something negative. it sort of is. basically it's this term that financial experts are using to describe people who are shopping to cope with their stress about the larger economy. >> here with us editor and chief caleb silver and family psychologist dr. jennifer heartstein. what's going on with the economy that's leading young people to feel so desperate to spend? >> this feeling they don't have a foothold. it's called mindless shopping to self-soothe because you feel negative about the economy. young people feel they won't have a better life than their parents.

our term of the last year was the american dream. so many people are searching for it. they've lost touch with the ability to buy a home, take a vacation, raise a family. costs are rising and young people feel they'll never get on top of that. >> caleb, you said self-soothe. a lot of young people are saying this is self-care and i think of gen-z and millennials, they've been through covid. is it medically speaking? >> yes, and it's not a great long-term solution. it's a great short-term solution to that momentary anxiety. it does not set you up for long-term success. does it work? for sure. if it didn't work, we wouldn't keep doing it. it's not a great strategy if you want to build toward your future and get the things you want in the long term. >> what are young people spending their money on and does it impact -- it has to impact their finances long term? >> absolutely. it's discretionary spending clothing, things they see

online. a lot of this comes from doom scrolling which leads to doom spending. you see something you like -- it happens all the time. it's not just me. it's the fact that you're seeing so much bad news. when you see something you like, you're more apt to want to go for it. if you're in a financial whirlpool, you can't get out and you keep spending. i can't get on top this. >> it's the dopamine hit. why does it make me feel good? i have a hit of dopamine. it makes us do more things which keeps us in the doom scrolling cycle. that hit keeps us buying and going on in this awful cycle. >> how do we control that, since so many people do it as a form of control? >> get off social media and put our phones down, which we don't want to do or think about that. there are concrete things we can think about. what's your budget? create a structure for yourself.

what other outlets might you have to take care of mental health? can you exercise, move your body, be with friends? >> things that don't cost money. >> if they cost money, you're not buyin clothes that you wear for a season and throw away. going to dinner with my friends there are things that give back to me. >> caleb, what else? >> in-person purchases. when you have to go pay for an item, it feels differently than shopping online. using currency. that feeling when you break a $50 bill, that's a different feeling. >> use cash? >> absolutely. use cash. create a budget with alerts that hit you every time you're going out of budget or out of range. reward yourself. make a nonspending week. see if you can do it. then reward yourself at the end with something smaller, not

necessarily an impulse purchase. you're not paying yourself in the future when you're making these purchases. >> as a recovering doom spender, is there ever a good time -- is it ever okay to shop a little? >> sure. if i can't stop thinking about it, then it's something i want to buy. the key is blocking that i feel i do moment and hitting a moment of pause and taking a second and realizing if it's something you want and if it's bringing you joy, why not? >> it's a message for everyone. men are the ones doing the doom spending too, just to mention. >> yeah. >> it's interesting. >> caleb silver and jen heartstein, thank you both. you're watching "nbc news you're watching "nbc news daily." dad: a perfect day with the family! shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects! only shingrix is proven over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix doesn't protect everyone and isn't for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. tell your healthcare provider
