developments in multiple wars overseas threaten to throw a curveball into the campaign. will kamala harris' role in this white house help bolster her chances to win in november? or backfire instead? plus, will it be a boys versus girls election come november? a new poll shows kamala harris stretching her lead with female voters, and trying to win over even more with her new bus tour focused on reproductive rights. does donald trump have a plan to try to win them back? plus, a stunning new indictment accuses a former top aide to new york governor kathy hochul of secretly working for the chinese government. authorities say the alleged scheme was designed to promote china's communist agenda in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks. the latest on the charges and the arraignment coming up. we start with new eruptions of unrest and violence in israel and ukraine on the first day of the final push toward november. adding a complex new dimension to a presidential election that

so far has been mostly focused on domestic concerns. in israel, dozens of protests are being held for a third straight day as thousands vent their grief. look at the size of this crowd. they are frustrated over the deaths of six hostages killed by hamas over the weekend. much of that anger, though, focused on prime minister netanyahu who many blame for blocking a cease-fire that may have saved their lives. when asked if netanyahu was doing enough to bring the hostages home, president biden said bluntly, no. there are also other major developments overseas this hour. horrific new attacks on a military training facility and hospital in ukraine, killing 51 people according to the prosecutor general. that's one of the deadliest strikes of this war. and russian president putin is on the move as well, defying an international warrant for his arrest by traveling to mongolia. i want to bring in nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard

engel in ukraine, matt bradley in tel aviv, monica alba is covering the white house for us, and rick single served as under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs under president obama, he is also an msnbc political analyst. thanks to all of you for being matt, here. matt, looking at these live pictures from israel, the crowds don't seem to be getting any smaller, but netanyahu isn't backing down. so what now? >> reporter: well, i got to tell you, the crowds do look a little smaller from when i was there two nights ago when i was standing on the bridge, you saw the images, they stretched as far as the eye could see on either side. but as you said, they are still substantial and the question is, are they going to be keeping up the momentum because it sounds like they're going to be planning these kinds of protests every single night this week. so the question for the protesters is are their loud angry voices being heard in the halls of power by the likes of benjamin netanyahu and his right wing cabinet, the most right

wing in israeli history. but, the question now is being answered because last night we heard from benjamin netanyahu and he gave what started out as almost an act of contrition, he said he had asked the family members of the hostages who have been killed for forgiveness for not bringing them back and then twisted and turned right to almost a lecturing tone to the israeli public, explaining why he had put what is being considered one of the most formidable roadblocks ahead of the hostage negotiations, which is insistence on keeping israeli troops in the philadelphia that's another name corridor. that's another name for the southern border of the southern gaza strip that is shared with the sinai peninsula. he says he needs to keep the troops there to prevent hamas and other groups from importing arms and funds from egypt's sinai peninsula. he said that's been fueling all this violence from the gaza strip for many years, even before october 7th, and he said he's not yielding. here is netanyahu himself in

that speech. >> i would define the end of the war in gaza when hamas no longer rules gaza. we throw them out. we're out to destroy the military capabilities of hamas and the governing capabilities of hamas and we are well on our way to achieving both. that is total victory. >> reporter: now, compare those statements to what i was hearing in the protest marches just two nights ago when i was down there, we have been hearing every single night, and it is clear there are two camps here in israel right now, they fall along familiar political fault one lines. one is benjamin netanyahu who says the priority is destroy the other are hamas. the other are all of these hundreds of thousands of protesters who have been out over the past several nights who say the priority needs to be freeing the hostages, increasingly, really, for the past several months after the last successful treaty in it has been november. it has been seen that those two goals of the conflict in the gaza strip are entirely at odds

with each other, and benjamin netanyahu has pitched his tent squarely in the one saying we need to prioritize destroying hamas and we need to put that ahead of any negotiationed peaceful hostage deal. >> it is not clear if these protests will change the calculus for israeli politics, what it might mean for benjamin netanyahu, but what could it potentially mean for kamala harris for a while, this had been lower on the radar in this presidential campaign, but obviously the deaths of those hostages has brought it right back to the fore. >> yes, chris. in the case of what is happening in israel, i mean, the conflict in a way is between netanyahu, who claims to want to end the war, and, in fact, the ending of the war would probably mean the end of his rule, there was a poll just the other day saying 69% of israelis don't want him to run for prime minister again. yes, this does spill over into

the american campaign. and vice president harris has answered questions about it. i would say she's been toed the same line as president biden, expressed support for israel and israel's right to respond, but also expressed sympathy for the palestinians, there have been 40,000 people who have been killed in gaza, most of them women and children. you know, the best outcome for miss harris would be a peace deal, she has talked emphatically about the need for a peace deal. i would argue that the peace deal is good for everybody, and that is the thing that would preserve some esteem for israel around the world, you know, the views of israel now across the globe have been almost uniformly a peace negative. a peace deal would be good for >> no doubt everybody. >> no doubt about that, monica. but the president was absolutely blunt when he said netanyahu hadn't done enough to reach a

he also deal. he also mentioned that he is in negotiations not with the prime minister, only with his counterparts in qatar and egypt. so what are the practical and political considerations going into the administration's next move here? >> reporter: well, look, chris, if this feels familiar, it is because it is. we have been in this place before time and time again, where the biden administration has said we're so close, this is so close to the end, there are a couple of outstanding issues that can be resolved, the parties can come close together and we can have a deal. but this takes on completely new urgency given what you were just discussing, with the events of this weekend and the murder of those six hostages. but, prime minister netanyahu seems to have dug in as ever, so that leaves the u.s. in this position where they need to make a determination about if nothing else has worked to this point, if this has been so elusive, what can be done now? i'm told that there is this discussion about a possibility of a take it or leave it type deal, that the u.s. would put forward to the negotiating

parties and say if you both reject this, then the u.s. will walk away from its negotiating role potentially, again, no final decision has been made on that approach, but that that could be maybe the only pressure tactic that is left to try to get both of these parties to a there is deal. there is no guarantee that that will work either and there are still american hostages that are being held in gaza by hamas. so there is the consideration of well what would happen to them as well. so all of that is being discussed behind the scenes. yesterday there was a big situation room meeting led by president biden, vice president harris was in attendance as well, and all of those top officials discussed these potential next steps and the menu of options, but, remember they had already had this proposal that was pretty close to what they thought if anything was going to be realized, what it would look like, but now they need to update it because in phase one, there was an agreement about what kinds of hostages would be released and

in that we expected that american hersh goldberg-polin would have been included before he was tragically killed. so, they need to go back and make some tweaks to a framework, again, that could maybe come to some kind. a conclusion, but the u.s. is saying we want that to happen as soon as this week, they're stressing how quickly this needs to happen, but, again, we heard that before, and the politics, the dynamic between the president and the prime minister here are only really complicating that timetable. >> let me move on to ukraine, if i can, richard. we mentioned at the top of the show that we just have seen one of the deadliest strikes of this entire war. it has been going on for 921 days now, 921 days. is there any indication of where this is heading? >> well, this war has changed dramatically over the last several weeks. it may have been going on for the last two and a half years, but just about three weeks ago

ukraine in a surprise move captured a piece of russia, 500 square miles of russian territory, caught vladimir putin completely off guard. it gave a boost of confidence to this country, it changed the narrative, suddenly russians are having to dig trenches in their own territory, they are having to call up reinforcements and send them to defend their own towns and villages. and we sat down with president zelenskyy today, i interviewed him for about an hour, i met him and interviewed him more than half a dozen times since the start of this war and this was maybe one of our most interesting conversations because things are at such an inflection point it feels like. what are they going to do now? so, people in ukraine, i would say, were incredibly encouraged that this happened. they were cheering on their army, they were cheering on president zelenskyy when news

broke that not only had ukrainian forces crossed the border and did something that had been unthinkable, broke a taboo, red line if you want to call it, but that russian forces were retreating, that russian troops in some cases were abandoning their equipment, russian conscripts were being captured, taken as prisoners of war, potentially to be traded. that's what ukraine wants to do for their prisoners of war. but now, many in this country are asking can we do this, do we have enough manpower to hold a piece of russian territory while also defending cities like poltava that was attacked today, while also defending along the front line in the east and in the south? and that was one of the things i asked president zelenskyy what happens next. now you've captured this territory in russia. the big question is what do you plan to do with it?

>> translator: we don't need the russian territory. our operation is aimed to restore our territorial integrity. we we captured russian troops to replace them with the ukrainian. we tell them, you know, we need our military soldiers in exchange with russian ones. the same attitude is to the territories, we don't need their >> reporter: is the land. >> reporter: is the plan to take more territory? >> i will not tell. sorry, i can't speak about it. it is like the beginning of our discourse operation. with all respect, i can't speak about it. i think that the success is very close to surprise. >> but conceptually, you have this territory now. so you don't want to ke >> conceptually >> conceptually we will hold it. conceptually we will hold it.

>> reporter: so ukraine is saying, president zelenskyy is saying that they will hold this piece of russian territory they indefinitely. they will hold it until -- not forever, but for an indefinite period of time, until they no longer need it. strongly suggesting that it will be used in trade somehow. president zelenskyy specifically told me that these are the next steps, that he wants to follow. that he was waiting until this kursk operation took place, until it was successful, that very few people knew about it. even his own intelligence service wasn't fully informed. he insists they didn't tell president biden or the biden administration at least officially, that he wanted to wait until this operation was completed, bird in hand, so to speak, and that later this month, he's going to go on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly in new york, he's going to brief president biden, he's

going to brief vice president harris, that he's going to brief donald trump on what he calls his victory plan, that is a plan to end the war on ukraine's terms, and that he sees holding the kursk region, which is this part of russia, just across the border from poltava, which was attacked today, he sees that as fundamental to his quote, unquote victory plan that he plans to roll out to those three leaders since he doesn't know who is going to be president of the united states in a few months, so he's going to roll out to president biden, his counterpart, who is work closely with now, and vice president harris and donald trump later this month. >> so, rick, when you look at what is roiling overseas, the administration has been making a point to show that kamala harris is involved in these decisions, or that photo of her they put out in the situation room next to president biden and obviously the message is she's ready to take on this job. is there a risk, though, as

well, as you pointed out, as monica pointed out, peace deal in israel, who knows what might happen with zelenskyy's plan, who knows, and who knows if anything will be decided before the election. so is there a risk in a strategy that might suggest she is part of the decision-making, she is part of this decision-making of this administration? >> well, chris, as you said earlier, i mean, generally presidential elections don't really turn on foreign policy, particularly at a moment like now when people are focused on domestic policy. at the same time, throughout history there have been negotiations going on in wars when presidential elections were taking place. notably during the vietnam war and all wars end in the same place, at the negotiating table, and i think the vice president

has to be seen to be pushing for parties both in israel and gaza and in ukraine and russia to go the negotiating table, the peace table and come to some kind of an agreement. that's in her best interest. that's in the best interest i would argue of all the parties, and america continues to be in both places, indispensable nation, the only nation that could make a deal happen and that's what we need to do. >> richard engel, matt bradley, monica alba and rick stengel, thank so much. coming up in 90 seconds, the battle of boys versus girls. the brand-new evidence showing kamala harris' support is soaring among women. and what trump is doing now to try to close the gap. to close tp pre-portioned packs makes it really easy to keep him lean and healthy. in the morning, he flies up the stairs and hops up on my bed. in the past, he would not have been able to do any of those things.

sarah longwell, also the host of the focus group podcast, and executive director of republican voters against trump. great to have all of you here. this new abc/ipsos poll has harris leading trump by 13 you have been points. you have been talking to focus groups nonstop about this is this election. is this what you are seeing from women you've been talking to? >> yeah, look, one of the biggest changes we had recently in the election is the announcement of jd vance as donald trump's running mate. and jd vance has had a number of big missteps that have really made him radioactive to women and one of the things you see in the focus groups, a lot of times the stuff we talk about in washington doesn't always breakthrough or translate to regular voters, but jd vance's childless cat lady comments are absolutely resonating with voters, they come up in every focus group, men bring them up, women bring them up, and i want to explain one of the big

differences in how this election is different in terms of rhetoric around women than previous ones. trump's always been bad on but women. but the fact is this time there is a policy in -- there is a policy up for grabs, abortion is a big issue that it matters whether or not women trust donald trump and jd vance, before it was just about now there are now there are policy implications and that implications and that really matters. and jd vance matters. and jd vance has done this thing where a lot of trump's negatives with women, they're built in, baked in, people know about them and donald trump. but jd vance has reanimated a lot of these concerns from women. it has highlighted it has highlighted the fact that donald trump is terrible when it comes to his rhetoric and his policies on women, and so voters are sort of retuning into that in a way that they had kind of dropped off their radar, but jd vance has put it back squarely into the conversation. >> i find that absolutely

fascinating, kimberly. look, we already knew, right, that kamala harris was taking the lead with women voters on abortion access long before she was thought to be the possible but now, nominee. but now, exactly what their messaging is, which is broader than abortion rights, it is reproductive choice, it is reproductive rights, writ large. and the idea that jd vance and his comments on childless cat ladies, playing into their response which is you don't want them in your bedrooms or your lives or medical decisions or your life decisions is >> it really resonating. i think it is a one-two punch, chris. you're seeing the you're seeing the ongoing reverberations of reverberations of roe v. wade, which roe v. wade, which i think has set trump already in a different trajectory than he was in in 2020 when he saw an increase in

white women voters over what he got in 2016, after the roe decision and trump trumpeting and taking credit for appointing three of the supreme court justices that made we saw that change when possible. we saw that change access has been on the ballot as it will be in november, abortion access wins. but then when you add this new dynamic of jd vance, which you're absolutely right, he's not just a joke about childless cat ladies as offensive as that was, we have seen him in comment after comment after comment that he's made over the years really reducing the value of a woman to whether or not she gives birth. and even going so far as to say that movements for equal pay for gender equality or, you know, reproductive rights or black lives matter or anything with respect to social justice is done by older women who are so miserable with their lives because they don't have kids, i mean, that is so profoundly offensive.

a candidate has to a candidate has to speak in a way that the voters see themselves in their rhetoric, in their policy, in their message. and the message that jd vance is saying is women, stay away. >> so, people are starting to vote in a matter of weeks. technically the ballots are going out this week. what is donald trump's plan to close this gender gap or is it just let's get as many men as we can get? >> i think part of it is the hope or the plan that women will vote on issues beyond reproductive rights and if they focus on things of inflation, the cost of everything you pay for every day, focus on public safety, they can sort of push women back into the trump camp who may have otherwise been pulled out of it on reproductive they don't want to rights. they don't want to talk about that issue any more than they have to be. trump's interjection of free ivf float, i won't call it a plan, but a suggestion last week i think is an effort to try to entice some women who are focused on that issue to take another look at trump.

and the other part of it is as you say, jacking up the other side of this gender gap, which is to increase his lead among the abc poll we men. the abc poll wewere highlighting is problematic for two reasons. there are more women in this country than men and women are more likely to vote than men. so they need to see that number on the male side of the equation increase substantially to come anywhere close to closing that gender gap that they have. >> in this new abc/ipsos poll, the polling director said this, quote, much of the moves among women and men have occurred among white people. white women have gone from up 13 points for trump preconvention to a virtual dead heat now. trump up 2, white men from up 13 points before trump before the convention now up 21 points. kamala harris has already siphoned off donald trump's lead with white women, so is there a

way to take that even further? do you think there is even more of an opening potentially there for her? >> i do. look, i think actually it is going to come from not just talking about reproductive rights, but having an affirmative plan on the economy. the fact is the economy is still going to be the number one issue, and it is one of the ways in which, you know, a lot of times women are the primary shoppers, they're very price sensitive around the way that prices of groceries have gone up because of inflation. but kamala harris taking an offense posture on the economy, talking about the middle class, talking about, you know, i would say i have some qualms with some of the policies she put out, economic policies, but many are ripped off from donald trump, very populist in nature and populist in part because they are popular. some of that is allowing -- one thing i hear in the focus groups

all the time, especially from white voters, is that they have gone from being sort of closed off to joe biden to being open to kamala harris' pitch. they don't know that much about her, so they're interested in what she has to say. the way she drives up the numbers is to get voters to buy into her economic message, not just her message about reproductive rights. >> garrett haake, kimberly atkins store, sarah longwell, thank you. a top aide is arrested toho. what we know about the charges. and a judge and his daughter found murdered in louisiana. the age of the person who did it will shock you. that's after this. that's after this. for a total value of twelve hundred and fifty dollars. only on verizon. (jalen hurts) see you sunday!

a former a former top aide to new york governor kathy hochul is set to be arraigned in a matter of minutes for allegedly acting on behalf of the chinese the fbi government. the fbi arrested linda sun and her husband chris hugh at their home on long island less than an hour from manhattan. it is the same home the fbi agents raided just six weeks nbc chief justice nbc chief justice contributor jonat jonathan jonathan deinst is following this for us. >> linda sun was working as an agent for the chinese they say government. they say in exchange, sun and

her husband laundered millions of dollars out of china. linda sun and her husband were arrested at their $4 million home on the north shore of long island, the fbi says the pair also bought luxury cars, property in honolulu, and took travel and expensive gifts, all as part of this scheme. sun served in high ranking rolls in albany for hochul, cuomo and grace meng who is now in the fbi congress. the fbi says in exchange for those kick backs, sun used her position to help communist chinese officials. for example, the fed say sun worked to block representatives from taiwan, from meeting with new york state officials, that she allegedly changed public messaging from governors hochul and cuomo on many issues, including trying to edit out statements about china's record on human rights. the fbi says she also sent unauthorized letters of invitation from new york state to chinese officials to help

facilitate their travel into the the couple is u.s. the couple is expected to plead not guilty in federal court in governor brooklyn. governor hochul's office issued a statement a short time ago that sun was terminated in march 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct, immediately reporting her actions to law enforcement, and they have assisted law enforcement throughout this process. this case just the latest, chris, where the justice department filed charges related to china and so-called foreign agent violations, fara violations here in the u.s. >> jonathan, thank you for that. now to a shocking arrest and murder confession by a 10-year-old boy in louisiana, confessing to fatally shotting two people the police have identified as his relatives. they say he killed 82-year-old former louisiana mayor joe cornelius sr. and his 31-year-old daughter keisha they say he miles. they say he made that confession after they found two bodies with

multiple gunshot wounds. two hand guns were used, their magazines were emptied according to authorities. the young boy is now being held on two counts of first degree they have said nothing murder. they have said nothing about a possible motive. and still ahead, the harris/walz campaign launches a reproductive rights bus tour. 10 miles from trump's mar-a-lago but is home. but is florida actually in play for democrats? you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. reports" only on msnbc rome, lower back pain, and shortness of breath, i thought that's what getting older felt like. thank goodness... ...i called my cardiologist. i have attr-cm, a rare but serious disease... ...and getting diagnosed early... ...made a difference. if you have any of these warning signs, don't wait, ask your cardiologist about attr-cm today.

the harris/walz the harris/walz campaign is taking the battle over reproductive rights directly to donald trump's backyard. campaign surrogates including senator amy klobuchar kicked off the fighting for reproductive freedom bus tour today in palm beach county, florida, that's just miles away from mar-a-lago. the first of at least 50 stops in key states in the run-up to election day. and nbc's marissa parra is reporting from boynton also with florida. also with us, former republican congressman of florida, david jolly, msnbc political analyst. good to have both of you here. let's talk about why florida, trump's home turf, and what exactly this bus tour >> hey, chris, good >> hey, chris, good to be w a couple of you. a couple of things i'll just address this clearly this event just ended, they're packing up behind me. we actually just wrapped up an interview with one of the speakers we heard from today, reproductive rights ana cook,

storyteller, she shared her testimony today and we hope to share some of our interview across our platforms later, but she was one of the many speakers talking about why it was so important to vote yes on amendment 4. so, i will get to that in a the moment. the major messages and goals here, but keep in mind, harris/walz, this campaign bus tour, those giant letters on the side of that bus saying reproductive freedom, that's a huge part of the campaign here, there is no coincidence they chose palm beach county, florida, as the kickoff of this tour, chris, a couple of things here, amendment 4 is on this is ballot. this is one of roughly a dozen states where either abortion rights is on the ballot in november or will be. and so right now as it stands, remember, it was earlier this year, there was a 15-week abortion ban, then in may, that turned into a six-week abortion ba but simultaneously the state supreme court saying this is something that voters could decide on. it requires 60% or more of

voters to vote yes on amendment 4 to change the current law to roughly 24 weeks. and that is a higher threshold than we see in other states. there is a big push to get voters out there to the polls to pass this. but, of course, the other side of this, chris, is democrats are really trying to challenge this idea that florida is no longer a swing state, this is something that i asked senator amy klobuchar about when i spoke with her, the headliner today. i asked her about this exact same question, why florida, here's what she had to say. >> starting the bus tour here just couldn't be more perfect because the guy who messed it all up and is responsible for this assault on women's rights lives only ten miles away. so why not start in this backyard to make the point? florida is such an epicenter of donald trump and what has happened here and it is time to respond to him by saying we're going to elect harris/walz, and we're also going to in florida make clear we're not going to subject women to extreme abortion bans.

>> so, chris, a couple of quick things here, we have been reporting for the last year on democratic erosion and support in the state over recent election cycles. of course not just presidential, but midterms as well. this is something we know republicans have felt very confident in, feeling like they kind of have november in the bag for them here in this state. but i will say that the harris/walz campaign team is telling me that after it became clear that harris was going to be the nominee, they saw the largest surge of volunteers signing up in the state of florida than any other state, so clearly they're trying to capitalize on what they see as hopeful momentum here, chris. >> thank you so much for that. so, congressman, let's say florida did donald trump no favors with this ballot measure, but we heard florida democrats say they think they might have a chance in the state. i want to play part of my conversation with the democratic party chair there, nikki fried,

last month. is there any chance florida is in play for the presidential race, any chance? >> absolutely. we have built an extremely diligent get out the vote mechanism and every part of our this past year state. this past year we filled every congressional, every house, and every senate seat. that is the first time that florida democrats have done it in over 30 years. there is something happening on the ground, there is a tremendous momentum shift, people are tired of the chaos, and they're ready to have balance back. >> you know, it is interesting, when you add that to a segment we had earlier with focus group person, who you know, talked to a lot of folks and this is something that they keep bringing up including the cat lady's comment by jd vance, but i don't know, florida, really? what do you think? >> so much going on and i caught that segment with sarah and kimberly and derek. so much going on in the state you have the florida. you have the ballot initiative, which she pointed out requires a 60% threshold. in the state of florida, republicans have a million more registered voters than

but still, democrats. but still, we have seen the issue of reproductive freedom at -- is in play for the 60% and then you threshold. and then you move it to the presidential level and whether or not florida is in play, that million more registered republicans is a really significant threshold, but the way i break down the harris campaign strategy here is you have the blue wall states that you must win. pennsylvania, michigan, and then you wisconsin. then you have the sun belt and maybe georgia and north carolina that are your second tier, if you're expanding the map and north carolina and georgia, you're feeling pretty good, florida right now is that -- the first of the third tier, if you they're not will. they're not counting it out. and i think what you're seeing with i believe the first gentleman, amy klobuchar and others in the state is the prudent use of campaign harris resources. harris campaign is not on the ad a whole lot in florida. but they're doing the right things to see if the momentum is there with 60 plus days to go.

just perhaps florida could be in play come november. >> well, also that enforces republicans who have less money now, she's raised over half a billion dollars since she took over as the presumptive nominee and became the nominee. that forces potentially republicans donald trump to spend money they may or may not have in a place they don't want to have to spend money. >> if florida is in play, vice president harris is going to the white house. that's where the math comes down, that's the same in georgia, north carolina, you could make that assessment, but florida understand ron desantis won his re-election by 19 even before points. even before the presidential, everybody has eyes on the down ballot race of rick scott and debbie powell for the u.s. senate, rick scott having never won by more than one or two points in his races for governor and senate, but also never lost. the ron desantis 19-point win in florida return to the mean of two or three points for rick if so, scott. if so, florida democrats have a but now with the harris future. and the reproductive freedom ballot initiative, watch out,

florida is now in the don't count us out stage, if you are a democrat. >> all right, >> all right, former congressman from florida, david jolly, a you. a major boost for democrats running for house, senate and state legislatures. kamala harris and the dnc will transfer nearly $25 million to boost candidates chances in tight races, far more than in past presidential years. and in the process, it could potentially bring more people to the polls, who might be motivated by those local contests. nbc's yamiche nbc's yamiche alcindor is tracking this for us. promoting a local race can indeed mean in the end people who are, you know, occasional voters, disinterested voters, might actually go to the polls, but let's talk about the big overall reason that harris is putting this much money into these campaigns. >> well, the harris/walz campaign says this is really about proving that every race in november matters, and also i think as someone covering this

campaign, i can tell you that when you talk to people on the campaign and the harris allies, they tell me this is really also about the fact that she is going to need a congress both a senate and house to have control and be in control of democrats' hand if she wants to get the agenda that she has been outlining passed through congress and made into law. i want to read to you part i want to read to you part what jen what jen o'malley dillon, the harris campaign chair said about the vice president this. the vice president believes this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level to fight for freed she goes on to she goes on to say, that's why the vice president has made the decision to invest historic sum into electing democrats up and down the ballot, because democrats win when we fight and also, together. and also, chris, i want to break down who is getting this money, because it really is remarkable. if you look, $10 million are going to house races, $10 million to senate races, $2.5 million to state legislative races, and when you have $1 million going to gubernatorial candidates and $1 million to ag the last candidates.

the last two categories are interesting because the harris/walz campaign is pointing out that, of course vice president harris used to be a state attorney general, and, of course, tim walz is still the governor of minnesota, so they're also not just looking at congress, but also looking at other elected officials in states, in state wide races to underscore this has to be a sort of all hands on deck race and all hands on deck win for democrats to really i think push forward the vision for america, that the party as a whole wants to see happen. >> yeah, and chris? >> yeah, and i think one thing about roe v. wade being overturned is that it focused a lot of people's attention on the power of state legislatures, something as you point out that harris/walz both know very much yamiche about. yamiche alcindor, good to have you on the show. coming thanks. coming up, the stunning new discoveries from the bottom of the atlantic, what brand-new images of the "titanic" reveal to researchers. and an attention grabbing new political ad in pennsylvania, the only problem is, it's fake. more on that coming at coming up next hour of "chris jansing reports." next hchris nsing reports.
