deciders. today, we are 100 days out from an election, where the script is so fluid, the uncertainty so vast and the story so far: so unbelievable. we have questions, starting with what is happening 100 days out? well, the harris campaign is reporting an eye-popping $200 million raised in just the past week. the vice president also adding to her endorsements in just the last hour, adding former vp al gore. and, one of her potential running mates is on the stump in georgia, part of a massive mobilization effort in key states. the enthusiasm, meantime, of donald trump's base has not do waned. check out this time-lapse video. b a mile long line to see him this weekend in st. cloud, minnesota. some people waiting for hours. more questions. will it be the grassroots group, on the ground, in their own neighborhoods with their own friends, who ultimately swing this election?

what are the voters in the six r states that are expected to decide this election telling us? how does that conform dewhat harris and trump do next? we will ask representatives from both campaigns and bring you the latest answers to all te the ski questions. but, let's start with four of the battleground states, we are our correspondents have taken up residence and have talked with hundreds of voters, who we call them deciders. let's begin with georgia, where the harris campaign is holding several events today, including one headlined by kentucky governor andy beshear , who go will be joining us later this hour. tell us about the event and the mood there since harris has shaken up the race. >> reporter: chris, voters rs there were energetic, they were

excited, just like they had been at most of the harris campaign events this weekend. the only difference is that thef event was in forsyth county, a predominantly white conservative county the former president won safely in 2020, picking up 65% of the boat. it also shows you how andy beshear, who is under consideration for vp, could a that ticket. he's able to speak to those voters and rally them around te the vice president harris. i have to tell you, you have really seen the harris campaign make a full show of strength. they have had more than 174 events, they have registered more than 6000 new volunteers. they now have 28 offices statewide, including three that are open this weekend alone. voters here are energized. yesterday, i spoke to several. e many of whom pointed to the history making nature of vice president harris's candidacy is what is fueling their enthusiasm. take a listen. >> i feel like it is history for us. i feel like it is good and to know that we can become whatever we want to become if we put our hearts to it. it is great for the women, it is great for us the black community. it is just great and, i think she is going to give trump what

he needs. he's not ready mpfor this. >> chris, georgia now a top target for the harris campaign. vice president harris will be here on tuesday. based on the enthusiasm i'm seeing across the state, and feeling that event will be as packed as her event in milwaukee was last week. >> nnamdi egwuonwu, thank you so much for that. let's make our way to pennsylvania now. and, let's get the latest on the ground we are pennsylvania heavy hitters are endorsing shapiro as a central harris running mate. tell us what is enhappening. >> reporter: chris, almost every single democrat here in pennsylvania that i spoke and has expressed great support for governor shapiro and they are go really, really hoping he ends re up being vice president harris's running mate. there are two prmain reasons fo that. the first one is he is currently the only governor in the united states who oversees a divided legislature.

so, they point erto his ability to be effective and get things done. the second reason is because he knows how to win pennsylvania. back in 2020, when he was running for his second term as attorney general, he was on ther same ballot as president biden and he got more votes than biden. he actually broke the record and became the highest vote getter in pennsylvania. when he was running for governor in 2022, he won by nearly 15 percentage points. here's the thing. nt governor shapiro over and over o again has said that this is a deeply personal decision that should be made without any political pressure. voters, nevermind that them areo still hoping it is him. take a listen. >> welcome i would like her to d pick someone she can work with but i hope that person is shapiro because there are a lots of good reasons for that. g the electoral votes, the fact that he is well spoken and he is a moderate. i think he would appeal in lots of ways. >> well, shapiro is the candidate, he's from pennsylvania. pennsylvania is the key to this country. the writing is on the wall.

pick shapiro. >> now, it is not only the voters saying that. a lot of heavy hitters here in pennsylvania, legislators, are something they also hope it is governor shapiro. for example, i wrote this article with my colleague, brendan leach, and we reported a lot of democrats in the state are making an aggressive push ar for governor shapiro. everyone from the mayor of philadelphia to the speaker of the house of pennsylvania is really hoping it is governor shapiro. i will end with this. wi the pennsylvania democratic chair, senator charisse street says he's not going to endorse in this particular race because of his position. however, he did say he would be lying and being disingenuous if he didn't say that having governor shapiro as running mate would make his life extremely easy over the next couple of months. >> emma barnett in philadelphia for us. let's go to arizona, where alex tabet is live in phoenix. how has the change in the democratic ticket altered

things in that state, especially with senator mark kelly as a potential vp choice? >> reporter: chris, i've been >> living here in arizona since february. over the last five months, there hasn't been that much optimism about president biden's chances from democrats. they saw poll after poll showing former president donald trump performing president biden . there wasn't really that sense of enthusiasm. that really changed this past week, where democrats are now feeling a renewed sense of energy. and what you do here how some democrats are experiencing this moment right now. >> the excitement is so palpable for kamala harris. i think she has a much better chance to take on donald e trump. >> it gave new energy to the campaign. i think also she is appealing to the young vote.

>> you mentioned senator mark kelly, who is also getting a lot of arizonans excited. it is not just because he is a hometown hero. if you want to understand how much arizonans love a hometown hero, ask arizonans about vaughn hilliard. it is not just that he is an astronaut and republicans, democrats, and independents all seem to agree that being an astronaut is pretty cool, it has to do a lot with the fact that senator mark kelly has taken a strong, moderate stance on immigration, which is important to a lot of arizonans, given it is a border state. chris. >> alex tabet, thank you for that. it is no surprise kamala harris's first presidential rally was in battleground, l wisconsin, a state where a pew survey says 42% of voters identify as republicans, 42% identify as democrats . it is de also home to another decider county, dane county, we are defined the university of wisconsin and the state capitol. msnbc political analyst elise c jordan spoke to a group of

progressive voters there. >> i think what you brings is fresh. she was in office for four years so she might not have the network but she knows the network. she knows who the e players are >> it gives us a chance. she can win, i'm convinced she h has at least a 50-50 shot against trump. i would love for the democrats to nominate aoc or someone like that but i live in the real world and again, this election, democracy is on the line. >> you think vice president harris has a much better shot of defeating donald trump? >> absolutely. >> i thought joe biden had a 0% chance. elise also spoke to a group of donald trump diehards in green bay, wisconsin. they, not surprisingly, had a very different reaction to the harris candidacy. take a listen. n >> do you think that having vice president kamala harris as the nominee dramatically

changes donald trump's odds of winning? >> i am worried about it. >> i think she's going to go for the minority and female and younger voters. >> progressive. >> everybody is excited about e her. that scares me. >> those are trump voters. >> joe biden won the city of green bay in 2020, by the way, but he lost the county. are things to elise jordan for that. coming up, from the voters to the campaigns. te i will speak with trump campaign senior advisor jason miller about how team trump is repositioning itself to take on the new opponent just 100 days from the election. plus, one of the big names floated as kamala harris's potential running mate, kentucky governor andy beshear will join us live, we are back after this. after this. symptoms can sometimes take you out of the moment. now there's skyrizi,

of for the last time. he officially announced he was running again 617 days ago. joe biden announced his campaign manager in may, 2023, meaning that julie chavez rodriguez spent one year, two months, 14 days crafting a strategy and a message first, i am joined by jason miller, senior advisor to the trump campaign. thanks for coming on the show. you had a plan against joe biden. you were confident you could

beat him. how has your strategy changed? do you think the map has changed? >> well, the strategy fundamentally doesn't change. we are running on a very direct a strategy of making sure that we are going to lower costs for americans and also make the country safer by securing the border. as we start heading into the return of kids going back to school and parents are having to spend more money on things such as new school clothes and new expenses and people are reminded again how much expensive things are under joe biden and kamala harris, that is another thing we think will bring that front and center. keep in mind, yes, the democrats have a new person at the top of the ticket with kamala harris but kamala harris still very much owns the entire joe biden record, plus kamala harris has her own left of center, as i would say, right of the liberal record herself. >> let me respond to a couple of those things. as you know, in the first couple of years of the biden presidency, they kept 2.8 million migrants out, which is why the number of deportations is down because of people not

coming in, you can't put them. a rate cut, big headline in the wall street journal, finally in view. we know that the prices have been moderating of groceries. but, it is not for us to debate that, it is for the candidates to debate that. you have said, or said in the past, donald trump would debate. is that still good? >> absolutely. we think the democrats need to pick who their ultimate nominee is going to be. that needs to be formalized before we lock in on the debate. >> you agreed to this before your nominee was formalized. >> but hold on, but we need to make sure that democrats actually go through and lock in kamala harris. it was only a month ago, chris, that many democrats who wanted to throw joe biden overboard or saying we need to go to this mini penury, we need to go with somebody else other than kamala harris. it has only been in this past week there has been any sort of effort to rally around kamala

harris. the exacting people in fact who were saying joe biden was okay are the same people saying now we have to get behind harris. >> it was only in the last week she had the number of delegates to secure the nomination. >> hold on. 14 million democrats voted for joe biden in this penury system. and now all those votes, those voters -- >> will donald trump debate kamala harris? >> of course, we are going to debate the democratic nominee. if that is kamala harris, once that becomes formalized. the date we are looking at is august 7th. i have to go back to wanting use it for a moment when you were talking about the rate of inflation. the fact of the matter is everything is still getting much more expensive. we are at about 20% cumulative inflation. energy costs are up about 50%. as we have seen from reporting in "the new york post," mortgage is up 90%. people are being crushed all around the country. it is not going down. things are getting more expensive, maybe just slightly less fast.

every day, we are opening up the newspapers or turning on the television and seeing those horror stories, the murder of rachel morrin and these are the types of things of voters are looking at. which of these candidates can go and turn the country around? only a few short years ago, president trump had us in this fantastic economy. now, under the biden/harris administration, we have seen, effectively, what wants to pay $20,000 wasn't counseled tax increase, that is what it is with inflation coming up. people want a different direction. that is what we will do with president trump's and senator vance. >> what we have seen is the holes have gotten closer, the fundraising has type. what is your proof that that statement is true, if anything seems to be true is that it is a tougher race before donald trump then it was just a week ago. >> i disagree with that as well. what i have seen is kamala harris. >> you have different internal

polls? >> president trump is still leading, whether it be nationally, whether it be in the battle ground speed >> with a margin of error appeared >> some of those hold on, still eating. >> by less than he wants with joe biden on the ticket. >> you look at eight years ago, you look at where president trump is, president trump is still the front runner in this race. a bit of caution i would offer is that the democrats need to worry about your's remorse. keep in mind, in 2019, kamala harris never made it to the starting gate in iowa. going back a moment ago, going back for weeks, democrats were not rallying around kamala harris . a lot of people did not think she would carry the ticket. with president trump, we have someone we we have seen the success of the economy so recently people realized we could get that back. all we have to do is get the energy production going to stop with stimulus spending that artificially juices up inflation, make some smart monitoring routes, we can make that back and such a short

order. that is what we want to deliver for people. i would really caution democrats that might have buyers remorse. if they want to change direction, if they want things to become cheaper, they want their lives to become more affordable, that is what president trump is running on. >> jason miller, good of you to come on the program. thank you. , to bring in a man reported to be on the short list as kamala harris's running mate, as well as a campaign surrogate, kentucky governor andy beshear, who joins us from georgia, where earlier today he headlined a campaign event for kamala harris in forsyth county, which donald trump won by nearly two thirds of the vote. okay. so, a buyers remorse you just heard what jason miller had to say. are you hearing that from democrats? >> my goodness. we are seeing more energy than i've ever seen in politics. i went this morning to what is supposed to be a ruby red county on this weekend of action. they were hoping there might be 50 people and we had 300+. they are fingered. they don't want to go back, they want to move forward.

they are excited about making vice president harris our next president. you see the fundraising, you see the thousands upon thousands of people signing up to volunteer. she is on a roll. we will keep this energy up and we are going to elect her as the next president of the united states. >> i don't need to tell you your state, kentucky, has been reliably read since the 50s. donald trump won there in 2020 by 26%. you won last year by 5%. your approval ratings are in well above 60%. the last i saw was 62%. so, what is the secret sauce for the harris campaign to compete in purple states and did you think it is possible that they could have a different map? you just heard what jason said, he doesn't think the map has changed. >> i believe the map has changed. georgia is in play and georgia is going to go for the vice president. what the vice president understands is most people when they wake up in the morning,

they are not thinking about their political party or the polls, they are thinking about their job and whether they make enough to support their family. they are thinking about their next doctor's appointment for themselves or their kids. they are thinking about the roads and bridges they drive. thinking about public safety, they are thinking about education. just look at what the biden/harris team has delivered. kentucky, because of the inflation reduction act, we are building the two biggest battery plants on planet earth, 5000 new jobs for my people. we are building the brent spence companion bridge between kentucky and ohio, the largest dr. project we have ever seen about six president promised it and president biden and vice president harris came through. we are running internet to every home across kentucky. clean drinking water to places that i've never had it before. >> are you suggesting she has a chance in kentucky? >> i think kentucky has been challenging terrain but i think she has a chance in a lot of states that are out there. what i saw in a state that, in a county this morning that went

80% to mitt romney and 70% to trump were 300+ people fired up and ready to go that belief in the vice president. and, the belief in her for a number of reasons, one of which is she is a champion for reproductive freedom. you look at the fact that my law , my daughter, and my wife had a constitutional right ripped and stripped from them. i think it is important we strip donald trump from the chance to ever have a second term. >> let me ask you about something that there is a lot of buzz about, that is three other people said to be on the short list for vice president also, like kamala harris, state attorneys general. you are one of them. what can you tell us about where you are in the vice presidential process, have you been sent vetting materials? would you like the job? >> what i can tell you is it is an honor to be considered. no matter what happens, i will work every day between now and

election day to make sure the vice president is elected. i have the best job anybody could ever ask for. i love kentucky. >> another one in the vice presidential nominee, would you consider giving it up? >> i think everybody being considered are great leaders. the only way i would consider another job as if i believed i could help the people of kentucky and the people of the united states of america in a different way. when we look at what is going on in kentucky right now, we turn the temperature down. we have democrats and republicans working together. don't we want that for our country? get out of the craziness we have seen these past years to get to a point where neighbors don't yell at me was because of the registration box that they checked. the vice president cannot get us there. she is that type of leader. she wants to move the country forward, not right, not left, but forward while donald trump takes us backwards. >> kentucky governor andy beshear on the road for kamala harris today, thank you for

taking the time to talk to us. >> thanks for having me put up next, steve kornacki at the big board looking at two counties that could swing the selection. plus, i will speak with three specialists on grassroots working to turn enthusiasm into votes. votes. grab bounty.

said to replaced or biden as the democratic nominee against donald trump, we thought we would look closely at two counties that loom together the large now among this group of seven decider counties. let's start in the state of georgia. you are looking at gwinnett county just outside of atlanta in the fast-growing atlanta metro area. you know the story of georgia. republican state until 2020, when joe biden flipped it by the narrowest of margins, just under 12,000 votes. now, the story this time around and georgia has been that donald trump has been polling much better against biden before harris switched into the race. the hoped-for democrats with harris entering the race is that a county like gwinnett, you will see a big expansion of her support . gwinnett is one of the most racially diverse counties in georgia, it is

about a third black. the hoped-for democrats is that the biden had been struggling a bit with a black voters but harris doesn't. that she increases the black vote share and you would see it in a place like gwinnett. it is fast-growing, getting more and more diverse. you can see in 2016, it was a six point race in this country, clinton over trump. that exploded to 18 points biden over trump. democrats are hoping they can expand this margin even further and a key and the and for them, if they do, is black voters. again, the big picture hoped- for democrats is, of all the core battleground states, georgia, the polling and georgia it looked particularly shaky for them. they are hoping, we will see if this actually happens, democrats are hoping the addition of harris will change the place like gwinnett and a statement georgia. now, take a look at pennsylvania. anyway you slice of the electoral college math, pennsylvania is extremely crucial, even among these battleground states, just because of its size, because of the number of electoral votes, the combinations it opens up and shuts off for these

candidates. erie county is one of only two counties in the entire state of pennsylvania that switched between 2016, voted for trump in 2016, biden, voted for biden in 2020. only two counties in pennsylvania did. pennsylvania itself as a state flipped from trump in 2016 to biden in 2020. this is one of the swing counties of the swing state, one of the key swing counties of this key swing state and it has a large, blue-collar, white operation. white voters without college degrees, and area of growth for republicans, democrat have been doing worse and worse here with this demographic. erie county, you seem a very large representation of that group of voters. a question here for kamala harris is can she make progress not just in a place like gwinnett county you can she do it anyplace like erie county, pennsylvania. last two elections, as went erie county, so went

pennsylvania. >> steve kornacki, thank you for that. i want to talk more about the state steve started with, georgia. for that, let's bring in senior political reporter for "the atlanta journal-constitution," and msnbc contractor steve bluestein. you and i get a chance to chat every two years, whether we like it or not. he wrote about how harris has shaken up the race in your state, citing a landmark communications poll taken today after biden's withdrawal. how much of a shakeup has this been? >> you know, republicans and democrats agree here in georgia that it is an entirely different political landscape. steve was spot on, gwinnett county has gone from a republican stronghold to a pillar of democratic support here in georgia. and, neighboring forsyth county, we are just interviewed andy beshear, i was with him earlier this morning, that is a county that not so long ago was solidly republican, 80% republican vote and has dwindled to two thirds of the

vote. republicans and democrats agree it will stay a republican stronghold but democrats feel like if i keep donald trump to 60% of the vote in this election, that kamala harris has a real chance of winning. >> were you surprised , as he suggested he was, by the turnout this morning? >> it was, i have covered georgia politics for decades now and forsyth county has always been a republican stronghold. to see three, 400 people there at an office opening on a sunday afternoon what's startling. i showed up 10 minutes before the event thinking i would glide into a parking space and have easy access and it was packed to the gills. so, that was a sign of the enthusiasm, even in a republican stronghold. and, democrats i talked to their set they used to be afraid to show up at events like this and they are feeling more comfortable. they are feeling more enthusiastic. >> we are almost out of time to ask you really quickly about gwinnett county, which biden won by 75,000 votes. i noticed one of your colleagues wrote about black women as the backbone of the party. will they be the game changers

here? >> in states like georgia, they always are. they are the most loyal constituency of the democratic party. there is a sense that poll numbers are giving for vice president harris among not just black women but black men as well. >> between us, we have probably done scores of office openings and i don't remember crowds of that size. but, much more to come in the next 100 days. greg, thank you. next, turning excitement and votes. i will speak with three women, who are masters of the grassroots ground game about what lies ahead and get out the vote. vote. but at least when it comes to dental care aspen dental makes getting new dentures and implants easier. with the technology and expertise to give you the right fit and $0 down plus 0% interest, if paid in full in 18 months.

are going to be tapping into the local, personal networks. here's what i'm telling you. friend to friend organizing, group chats, these are the new postcards. we are ready to have these conversations face to face and networks and that is how we pray to the noise. i am blown away by the climate we are seeing from women across the country. >> you did an interview with "salon," you have seen an immediate shift that anxiety has been replaced with excitement and i wonder if your numbers have jumped like katie's and how you plan to sustain this momentum over the next 100 days. >> yes, i couldn't say it better than katie said. the enthusiasm is off the charts. before sunday's news just last week, we had our best week of volunteer engagement ever. we have been, rates of volunteerism even before this big surge, 88% higher than where we were in 2018. but, like i mentioned in that

article, anxiety was the prevailing emotion that was driving that surge of donations and volunteer shifts. and, the 180 shift in mood has not just been a vibe shift, it has been turning into we raised million dollars for candidates just this week. i know katie and adrian were involved in all the many zoom calls, we are across the ecosystem, millions of dollars were raised this week. what makes me just prouder than any of those dollar amounts is that our folks have been out pounding the pavement all weekend long. they were phone banking, writing letters, and the kinds of stories we were hearing were not only our folks feeling really fired up about kamala harris, but also about this moment of unity and hope in the party and they are ready to turn that into some winds up and down the ballot. >> adrianne, what do you see as the or possibility of a group like yours over the next 100

days? >> i want to second and third the idea of the way that we are seeing energy and excitement increase. you know, we have seen it on the doors, we are knocking on doors in swing states and talking to black voters. i think that while we are, we would see a bunch of paid communication, we will see commercials, we will see digital ads and all of that will be important in terms of getting information out, making sure there's accurate information. the thing we know is black voters have been a target of misinformation. it is really going to be the face to face conversations that people have on doorsteps with folks that are going to make the difference. for every commercial, there is a trusted messenger knocking on someone's door, making a phone call, sending them a text message that will turn people out. i think that the energy and excitement while this is not going to be a cakewalk, and i think that we all acknowledge that, there is still a lot of voters who are feeling anxious, a lot of voters who are feeling like they are uncertain about the direction of the country. we also know that people are

tired of having to act on fear and they are ready to move forward. they are ready to get in the game for something that is aspirational, something that helps them feel like yes, this is the america we can be, all of those zoom calls were great, especially the ways in which people came together to say like we may be different but all of us together are the more perfect union. we represent the more perfect union and we will bring that into being and having someone aspirational like kamala harris really gives folks something to stand up and go out and work for. >> swing left was founded on the idea of if you live in a place where, honestly, a lot of democrats are, there's no big contest, people wanted to get involved. and, some, much like black pac, the organization works on down ballot races. down ballot races are one of the arguments people made for biden getting out of the race. is this changing that equation as you see it on the ground

this swing left season? >> absolutely. just like anxiety was the prevailing emotion in terms of the presidential race, folks were really worried in that time between the debate and last sunday about what is the uncertainty of the ticket going to mean in terms of particularly house races, with the fight to win back the house is the clearest path to victory here. the map is tougher for the senate. of course, the presidential is the challenging fight that we know it is going to be. and, with what this past week has looked like in terms of enthusiasm but also in terms of dollars, we have seen that our house candidates have been calling us and saying, you know, their coffers are blowing up in the best way possible. and, also, they have pulls out in the field to see exactly what this will mean for their races. everything they are seeing so far in the early returns are the difference between the top of the ticket and the bottom of the ticket has narrowed significantly thanks to the exciting news from last

weekend. >> adrianne shropshire, katie perez, who will not be sleeping over the next 100 days, thank you all for being on the program. we really appreciate it. next, 100 days can be a lifetime in politics. up next, a revealing reminder of what these closing months were like in campaigns past. i will ask former george w. bush and john mccain advisor mark mckinnon what we should be looking for as we head into the final 100. final 100. u see me squinting? i can't! i'm just telling everyone!...hey! buy one pair, get one free for back to school. visionworks. see the difference. every day, more dog people, and more vets are deciding it's time for a fresh approach to pet food. they're quitting the kibble. and kicking the cans. and feeding their dogs dog food that's actually well, food. developed with vets. made from real meat and veggies. portioned for your dog. and delivered right to your door.

and wondered, how would you describe the last few weeks in the presidential race questioning >> it has been a wild ride, not like it debuted >> crazy. >> busy. >> stress will be >> hopeful. >> exciting. >> energized. >> insanity. >> i will give you another word you will hear a lot in the next 100 days. unprecedented. we've had a lot of unprecedented in recent elections. let me take you back to 100

days before the 2016 election. >> there are now fewer than 100 days until the general election, or by hillary's count, 90 days, two hours, 46 seconds. >> that makes sense because and nbc poll at the time had clinton leading donald trump by nine points. she was on a bus tour on day 100 through ohio, kind of a testament to confidence the democrats had they could expand the electoral map. donald trump had just given an interview where he was pressed repeatedly about his relationship with vladimir putin, and boldly claimed the russian dictator wouldn't go into ukraine despite already being in crimea. we all know what happened next, a chaotic close to the race with trump rocks by revelations of crude, misogynistic comments on a bus. >> when you are a star, they let you do it. you can do anything.

>> hillary clinton, meantime, also was rocked by an attorney general's decision to reopen an investigation and ultimately, a razor thin victory put trump in the white house. 2020 was also definitely unprecedented, the only campaign in history rocked by a pandemic. 100 days out from that election, president trump was holding a solo briefing on the pandemic. joe biden was making a virtual appearance at a teachers conference. polling 100 days out then had biden up 11 percentage points nationally over trump. the final margin was much closer. biden by less than 5%. that brings us to 2024. for that, i bring in mark mckinnon, former advisor to george w. bush and john mccain. to walk down memory lane with you, mark. you were kind enough to agree to come and answer just one question i have for you, as someone who has seen so much. what are you looking for in these last 100 days?

>> that was a great report and reflecting on just how much can happen. just think what has happened this cycle. there are decades were nothing happened and then there are weeks where decades happened, like the last one has. just imagine if what we have seen in the last few weeks will be affected in the next couple of months. it is 100 days. the thing that is different this time is we have a very compressed campaign and campaigns, we usually say it is a marathon, not a sprint. this is a sprint, not a marathon. the whole deck has been shuffled. it is a very interesting situation. if kamala harris wins, which is a big if, of course, we may look back and see the compressed schedule really helped her because, think about it, there hasn't been a year of tax on her like there would have been had she been nominated earlier. she has the whole runway. the republican convention has already happened and attacked the wrong candidate. harris has the opportunity to dominate the news for the next couple of weeks, dominate the news during the convention, and then it is labor day and the election, both parties are

starting. the debate, or debates, that is a big if there, but certainly i think a debate has to happen, we think so anyway. that will be key. it would be crucial. the interesting thing is the last debate turned out to be one of the most consequential in history and the next one could prove just as much. the key in the next 100 days would be so much will happen but you can't waste a single second and the key for the campaigns, particularly for the harris campaign, chris, will be that so much is happening for them they have like 5000 things they could do. they have to focus on five. they have to have incredible focus and discipline to say listen, everybody is so excited, there so many things we can do, there's only a few things we should do. >> mark mckinnon, thank you so much for coming on the show. that will do it for me that our beauty contest right here, msnbc, chris jansing reports 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

hi, i'm janice, shivering, fever, and i lost 172 pounds on golo. when i was a teenager i had some severe trauma in my life and i turned to food for comfort. a friend told me that i was the only one holding me back from being as beautiful on the outside as i am the inside. once i saw golo was working, i felt this rush, i just had to keep going. a lot of people think no pain no gain, but with golo it is so easy. when i look in the mirror, i don't even recognize myself. golo really works. getting older is part of the journey, even with worsening heart failure. so when i had carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, and shortness of breath, i thought that's what getting older felt like.
