good evening and welcome to "politicsnation" . tonight's lead, on the road.

we've got just 24 days before election day and polls are showing razor thin races and battleground states, yet both parties are blitzing this weekend. trump was in the batter earlier today. vice president harris has events in north carolina this weekend. but both campaigns are zoning in on swing state, michigan, as a common prize. and going about it in very different ways. the vice president will be in detroit on tuesday for a radio town hall interview targeting black voters. she follows trump, who went to detroit this week and insulted michigan's largest and largest city in front of a mostly white audience

. again. we dive into all of it with michigan congresswoman debbie dingell in a second. as southern states recover from back-to-back hurricanes, what is the recovery looking like for black communities as the white house calls for more federal aid? i will talk to a regional administrator for fema about the recovery and how the agency is pushing back against a misinformation online. but we begin tonight and battleground michigan. joining me now, congresswoman debbie dingell, democrat of michigan. thank you for joining us tonight, congresswoman. we are starting off with the president and the presidential race, i should say, in michigan where the latest quinnipiac poll shows trump ahead of vice president harris in the great lakes state with trump at 50%

to harris at 47%, which we know is still within the margin of error. both candidates badly want to win michigan peer congresswoman, trump was in detroit this week. more on that in a second, but the vice president will be there next week for an interview. what is the state looking like to you in your home state just 24 days before election day? >> reverend sharpton, first of all, always good to speak with you and i'm going to be honest with you. i don't believe either candidate has won the state yet. i think it will be razor thin and it will come down to who votes, and i think either candidate can win this race right now. and it quite frankly is worrying me. >> now, staying with michigan, congresswoman, your largest city, detroit, is in the midst of a hard-fought economic comeback and this week donald trump mourned that the entire

country would resemble detroit if the vice president wins in november. of course, he said this while campaigning in detroit, which offended many michigan democrats, including the city mayor, who credited detroit's turnaround to trump's replacement, president biden and vice president harris. as he tries to when you worst -- when your state, what do you think of his habit of insulting communities like detroit with large black populations, even when he needs their votes? >> reverend, i was actually there because i was on the board of the group he spoke to, and they are a nonpartisan group. they try to have bipartisan support. it's difficult, but because many asked me to go, i went. and in that room i'm going to tell you it looked like it was very spontaneous to me, just

the way he insults milwaukee just before the republican convention and it angered a lot of people including myself. he needs to see detroit and see how it has come back. the grid that it has we have so many successful events including the nfl draft and people were stunned at how great it was. young people moved downtown. we just open the train station. new people are working in there to work. detroit -- look, i was born in detroit. when people say where i'm from i still say detroit. i think you heard the real donald trump on thursday and i think he made a serious mistake. he insulted a lot of us. >> and you have all the sporting events coming to detroit and in parts of the city that are trying to rebuild. you know i had national action network, reverend charles williams the second is doing a great job there. it is totally, in my opinion,

targeted. but let me go here. kamala harris has been able to improve democratic standing with black voters since she entered the race but new polling from the new york times shows her struggling to reach the same level of black voter support president biden did four years ago, and that could hurt her in swing states, like michigan. nearly 8 in 10 black likely voters say they are voting for harris, according to the poll. but about 15% say they are voting for trump. a six point increase from 2020 and that includes 1 in 5 black men. and it's that deficit that had former president barack obama specifically admonishing blackman to support the vice president this week. but i wonder. some are saying if he is chastising a group that is overwhelmingly supporting democrats for

decades, if it could backfire. some critics of obama's message have suggested. i don't agree with it. i think he should challenge them, but there have been others are different. what are your thoughts? >> so, i'm going to say something. i think it's on all democrats. i've talked to a lot of young black men. i try, you know, i meet with people on a regular basis and jim clyburn was here last weekend and met with my mentors alliance in ann arbor and we saw a number of young men who expressed concern. and quite frankly domestic the democrats was you take us for granted. donald trump talks to us directly. jim clyburn talked about it in another meeting how someone said donald trump sends them an economic stimulus check but then jim clyburn went on to give them the nitty-gritty of what the biden/harris administration had done for them pick so we have got to do a better job of communicating. one of my young ministers said

this is it. we don't see a change in policy or see people talking policy. and i said, can you come to your church? i have to go his church after the election so they know they are seeing as after the election and he said come before and come after pick so i think it's a message to all democrats. i told you democrats were not talking about trade and that was one of the reasons donald trump was doing better. we need all of us as democrats to hear what is being said. don't take them for granted. hear their fears and issues. talk to them and make sure they feel included. >> and i agree. and come after the election after you get the votes, but also give the record. the record of black unemployment down under harris, under biden-harris. the black-white wealth gap and look at trump whose court

killed affirmative action and student loan debt and killed voting rights. that's not chastising people. that's giving the record. i think that is a bum rap on president obama. but before you go, i want to get to the breaking news tonight that physicians had deemed vice president harris to be an excellent health after the white house released her medical records this weekend. trump said he would release his medical records two months ago but that hasn't happened. but in response, his campaign referred to a vague letter posted to his truth social account in november from trump's self-described personal position, along with reports from texas congressman dr. ronny jackson, who treated trump after his july assassination attempt. all of which say the former president is an excellent health. but without specifics for the oldest major party candidate in our history. should he have to release his records now, congresswoman? and should this

be a bigger campaign issue given his age since they made age an issue from joe biden. where is all the hollering and screaming about the oldest candidate in u.s. history that won't replace specific health records? >> reverend sharpton that is exactly what i was going to say. they were the ones demanding the seymour health records on joe biden. what was being hinted? accusing him of having ill health. look, if you're going to run for president you need to be transparent pick you need to be transparent about everything and we do need to see his health records. people, doctors -- i'm not a doctor but doctors i know and respect and have national prominence have raised questions. i think it's legitimate to ask both candidates to release their records and both candidates should be releasing the records? payment all right. thank you, congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan. now let's turn to florida where rescue and recovery operations are underway after

hurricane milton left widespread destruction this week. less than two weeks after hurricane helene also hit the area. more than 2 million homes and businesses remain without power . at least 17 people have been confirmed dead in the storm's aftermath. joining me now is the regional administrator for fema. thank you for joining us during this busy time. as we mentioned, florida, and much of the southeast have weathered two major storms in two weeks. what can you tell us about the situation? what is fema focused on right now? >> thank you, reverend, for having me. as a now we are focusing on people pick lifesaving sustaining continues and lifesaving continues. last night the president did approve a major declaration for 34 counties including a tribal

indian nation. and with that we continue with those life savings. today those individuals can register for fema at 1-800-641- 33662 or they can go online on it disaster assistance.com and use the fema app. they are calling out and reaching to us. it's important. >> tomorrow president biden will be in florida. his second visit in 10 days to tort storm damaged areas in the state. the president has called on congress to return to capitol hill to approve billions of dollars for disaster relief. but republican speaker mike johnson has said the matter can't wait until lawmakers return from vacation in november. are you confident that fema has the resources to handle this historic run of storms and the aftermath? >> yes sir. we are confident.

since the end of last month, the continuing resolution funded as we are capable with people and resources and we are positioning here in florida, and across the southeast for hurricane helene and hurricane milton. so, if, indeed, we need additional funding, we have processes in place to make sure we have funds set aside for lifesaving and life-sustaining. >> i have to ask you this. since helene and milton wreaked havoc on the southeast, there have been a flood of misinformation online, such as the claim fema has no money because funds were spent on migrants. something that is not true. some politicians have also mischaracterized the available aid. for example, implying that a $750 payment to disaster victims for their immediate needs represents the only assistance fema is providing. i

bring up these false rumors because of the very real possibility people will be misled into not seeking the help they desperately need. what is fema doing to deal with this issue? >> sir, folks are out in these disaster areas as we get access. we have boots on the ground showing we are there to listen to them, to register them if we can, if they can, and also we make sure that our folks are there with the information folks need. it's a constant approach. working through locals. making sure the folks are talking to locals they trust. and we work with those trusted agents to make sure we reach those people pick our job is to reach people where they are and we will continue to do that above and beyond that misinformation. >> another question before i let you go. we know that in times of crisis disadvantaged

communities, black communities and communities of color specifically, are often the most vulnerable. how does fema make sure disaster response is equitable? making sure that all americans have access to the same help and assistance as everyone else . >> yes, reverend. we know from years of experience that there is not a one-size-fits-all. we are looking to meet people where they are. disasters affect people different in different communities. we have added different programs to our programs of assistance to make sure that we help people in the immediate aftermath with serious needs, displacement needs, rental assistance, and continuous reach back with a can talk to us with their needs and making sure we continue listening to make sure that we leave no one behind. >> all right. fema regional administrator, willie nunn.

thank you for being with us. as we go to break, our political image of the day. vice presidential candidate governor tim walz tracking pheasant this afternoon in the woods of minnesota. in the meantime democrats are on the hunt for undecided voters. my political panel breaks it all down next year .

welcome back to "politicsnation" . there is 24 days now until the election. let's bring in my political panel to discuss the latest. former democratic governor of montana and the former republican congressman of florida. carlos, let's start in florida where governor ron desantis has been spreading the state recovery efforts but can't help injecting a little politics into the situation. on thursday, laura governor ron

desantis took time to push back on the idea that the major hurricanes hitting the state are not in any way connected to man- made climate change and he refused vice president harris's calls after the hurricane because he said the vp has no role in storm recovery process. but the governor has been in touch with president biden, who is heading to florida tomorrow. clearly, desantis is hoping to avoid being seen as too friendly with democrats, as new jersey governor chris christie was with president obama during hurricane sandy in 2012. what do you make of how desantis is handling the storms? >> well, rev, i think the governor is doing a good job responding to the storm and obviously the communication between the federal government and the state government is healthy. i think politically governor

desantis is trying to have it both ways. he's getting along with president biden and have a constructive conversation with him, while trying to take shots at vice president harris in the middle of her campaign. on this issue of climate change and hurricanes, i don't understand why florida republicans struggled to gestate the obvious. it's very obvious that due to warmer ocean temperatures in the gulf, these stones are getting stronger and faster and they are becoming more deadly. and that is a result of air pollution caused by humans. so it's basic stuff but there is a lot of fear from the maga base and that's we see republicans being so careful and walking a fine line on these issues ? >> steve, former president donald trump was in aurora, colorado, yesterday. republicans are claiming aurora is being overrun by migrant crime but local leaders, including the mayor says the situation is been greatly exaggerated and have repeatedly denied venezuelan gang control, that they control any building

or any part of the city. nevertheless, this is what trump had to say last night. >> i will rescue aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered . we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, or kicked them out of our country, and we will be very, very effective in doing it. >> governor, i can't help but think of springfield, ohio, and other community being upturned by false claims from republicans. what is your response to what you have been hearing from trump and his supporters? >> that's right, rev. i think everyone would agree, undocumented immigrants engaged in illegal gang activity certainly ought to be deported and arrested. but when the conservative mayor

of aurora turns around and says i would love her president trump to actually visit with me and my chief of police , and ultimately your demonizing and vilifying a community because there's real impact in aurora. just like it was in springfield, ohio. and you can even go back -- you were talking about the natural disasters. a week ago president trump turns around and says, oh, look, they're not using fema money to take it with people on the ground they are using it to bring in people to vote. undocumented immigrants. in elon musk, with 200 million twitter followers basically parents that picked look. we all can agree that we need to do more when it comes to immigration. and i think that is something we saw even before this campaign started out, or at least before trump killed the bill. but what you cannot do is come into a community, say the community as something that it's not, and ultimately there

are real people with real lives impacted and donald trump doesn't seem to give a about that at all. >> steve, sticking with you. new york time holes out today shows more and more black voters are voting for trumpet this could support potentially double this year. compared to 2016. this is happening even with vice president harris at the top of the ticket. what do you think is driving this and can it be reversed with just weeks to go until the election? >> yeah, rev, you asking me that question would be like back in the day. sugar related sink give me advice on footwork so i would love to hear what you have to say on that. another thing came out of that pole is that those who were polled said that black americans were polled said that trump's policies were twice as bad, hurting them then helping them. so i think harris and walls, what they have to do is remind

people that they don't look at jobs as black jobs. they look everyone having a fair shot. yes, we still have more to do on the economy but harris and trump need to make it about them, not about themselves, which donald trump does time and again. >> and my advice is very similar. the record speaks for itself as one that fights and pushes, even, the biden/harris people, there is no contest between who delivered in the black and other communities of color here carlos, today the new york times writes donald trump is lashing out at donors for not giving him enough money and he is also feeling frustrated because he cannot golf until after the election due to security concerns following the apparent assassination attempt last month. could his mood be a factor in the final weeks of this campaign?

>> well, definitely. we know that donald trump can often times be his own worst enemy. and when he is in a bad mood or angry, he tends to lash out in ways that end up hurting him politically. so, he has grown frustrated here in the last few weeks i have noticed that his team has kept him in a risk-averse posture. he is not as exposed as he typically is to the media but donald trump is someone who typically welcomes every media opportunity, whether it's high risk or friendly. you have not seen him doing that, or as vice president harris has been out there a lot taking risk herself. as this campaign whines down, we see trump and his team take a step back, even though this is a very tight race and taking a step back could present or pose some missed opportunities from the trump campaign in terms of reaching out to voters, who he still needs to convince fixed effect thank you both for being

welcome back to "politicsnation". with the election weeks okay -- weeks away, both parties are betting big on nevada. former president donald trump was in henderson this afternoon wrapping up a campaign staff in nevada moments ago before heading to coachella, california, for a rally later this evening. vice president kamala harris was in las vegas on thursday reaching out to latino voters at a univision town hall. joining me now is daniele monroe-moreno, chair of the nevada democratic party. thank you for joining me today.

>> thank you so much for having me and please forgive my attire. we've been out knocking on doors all day and as soon as i finish with you i'm going back out >> that is the proper attire for doing that. let me ask you this former president trump was in reno last night, where he delivered a long and rambling speech, touching on some of his favorite fixations, including al capone exploding hydrogen vehicles and 60 minutes. he also had some unusual comments about the city of reno itself. take a listen. >> defend your washington values and your values in rena, can i talk about great values in reno? yes. i think i can. i'm not sure everyone will believe that one but i believe it. i know a lot of great people from reno. we have values and all different values and you have great values here. >> i mean, what do you make of

trump's pitch to voters in your state? >> you know what? read, i don't understand mr. trump at all. i was in reno myself with governor walz earlier this week talking to voters up in reno and, yes, we have citizens in this state with amazing values. nevada is one of the most, if not the most, diverse battleground states in the nation. that's what makes our state to state that it is pick the greatness that it is. it's that collective of folks coming together from everywhere that makes nevada the state that it is. i'm not sure whose values he was mentioning or referring to, but we are diverse. folks come here for that american dream and that's

different to everyone in this state and they bring their values with them and we appreciate all of those values. >> in contrast to trump's bombastic reno valley, vice president harris engage directly with latino voters during her univision town hall thursday, answering questions on immigration, reproductive rights, and inflation. she also took aim at trump's promise to be a dictator on day one, a comment that can't sit well with many americans who fled authoritarian regime's just seeking freedom. where do you think harris stands in nevada, especially with its latino population? >> you know, i believe that vice president harris understands that our latino community is not a monolith at all. we have people that came to the state from different latino countries with so many different beliefs. but when she speaks to our latino communities, as she speaks to every community that

i have been with her in, she speaks with authenticity and talks about the issues that matter to them. this kitchen table issues. jobs, the economy, lowering costs for our hard-working families, no matter what community she comes from. and she has been doing that and has a history of doing that her entire time in politics. in contrast if you look to donald trump, he says a lot but what has he actually done for communities of color, no matter who those communities are? >> and let's remember he was president four years so people of color have a record to go by. he talks about what he will do. what did he do in four years? he was president for four years but democrats are not only focused on the top of the ticket in nevada. another key contest in the races for the u.s. senate were pulling suggest the incumbent democratic senator jacky rosen is holding onto a lead over the

republican challenger, sam brown. democrats need to hold the seat if they want to have any hope of maintaining a slim majority in the senate. what is your sense of how this race is going? >> you know, we believe in nevada that all roads to the white house lead through nevada but all avenues are back to congress and go through nevada. a few months ago i did a complete, statewide road trip talking to voters and all 17 counties and listening to what they had to say. they know jacky rosen and they note the word that jacky rosen has done for voters in urban communities and rural communities and frontier communities. i'm not saying that we have any race one. i'm the ballot myself. are you either run unopposed or you run scared and i am running scared to make sure we get the vote out for all of our races from the top of the ticket all the way down to our school board races. our communities know jacky rosen. the trust jacky rosen and jacky

rosen has a proven history with our communities working for those hard-working families. so, if you are out there and listening to me and you want to help me keep nevada blue, please go to nv dans.com antigen five dollars because we are that purple state that votes blue. help us keep the state blue. >> all right. daniele monroe-moreno , thank you for being with us. coming up. the sages in the house. democratic strategist james carville joins me next to discuss the democratic party strategy in the final weeks of the campaign. before we go to break, back in 2020, jordan reed hosted a podcast from msnbc called, kamala , next in line. it explores then senator kamala harris's background as she made the rounds as joe biden's running mate and tells the stories that shaped the woman we know today.

his legendary career in politics called, tran34: winning is everything, stupid, and with full disclosure, i'm in the documentary. joining me now, democratic strategist, james carville. thank you for coming in the studio. we will get into your documentary and amendment but, first, let's get to some politics. take a listen to vice president harris talking about the release of her medical records as she boarded air force two heading to north carolina late this afternoon. >> so today i released my medical records, as has, i believe, every candidate for president of the united states, except donald trump in this election cycle. and it's just a further example of his lack of transparency. that, on top of his unwillingness to debate again, his unwillingness to do an

interview with 60 minutes, which again, as part of the norm of what anyone running for president of the united states does, and i think it's obvious that his team, at least, does not want the american people to see everything about who he is. >> what is your thoughts on this? do you think the vice president can shame trump into releasing more information on his health? after all, he is now the oldest person ever to seek the presidency. >> well, let's remember, in january 2017 he sent people to confiscate his medical records from his own doctor. the doctor said he felt terribly violated. they sent them in. he said not only is he not releasing his records, he has his medical records that he actually stole from his own physician. so the mind would wonder, what was in there. if you go to your own doctor, you send people into confiscate your medical records -- he

ought to just release of medical records from 2017. and one to the point i want to make as he is the same age that president biden was when he ran. president biden was much more vigorous and much more cogent and coherent in 2020 and then trumpets today. and i would like to see somebody do a side by side of the two of them. remember, if they vote him in, he will be 82 when he leaves office experiment and president biden did not have good stealing his records. >> no, sir. no one else has but him. >> this week vice president harris and governor walz were literally everywhere there was a screen or microphone, radio, podcast, late-night tv and town halls. all of this in addition to their campaign events. you stressed, you, the need for harris to win every news cycle against trump. yet you said this week that she needs to be more aggressive in pushing back

on trump's lies. did she accomplish either of those with this week's media blitz? >> i think she is starting to some extent but one thing about the administration for is they should have somebody every morning putting out real information following up these terrible hurricanes we had and that person should advise a fox they are willing to go on the air to debunk these insane lies. but i do not -- i faulted her campaign -- device printer rollout, the debate, they do that well. i want to see more trench warfare the last three weeks of the campaign and i'm hopeful they can do that. i think they will. >> staying with that, james, the southern states are reeling from this past month's back-to- back hurricanes and we don't know how the recovery will impact voting in battlegrounds, like north carolina and georgia. you said this week that you were scared to death about the

election in part because of how these storms have dominated the news cycle you said they ought to be giving daily briefings. and because they impeded the vice president's ability to get her message out, in order to do so in your view, what can she do to counter that? >> well we can start by getting real information out in real time. i think the secretary is a talented guy. not a professional communicator or political guy pick we need to get somebody like that doing this every day. and what i worry about is for the next, through monday, the storms have an opaque affect that you can't break through with your messaging. you still do it and you still try and they need to break through -- j.d. vance said that president trump saved obama care. that could be nothing further than the truth. i like to see resident obama go, what are they talking about?

hundred times they try to do it and stay on that because that matters to people. you have 23 million people that have insurance now that would not have it without this. and remember the subsidies to help people pay for this are coming due in 2025 and we need to make the front and center. people care about that. that's a kitchen table, watercolor issue, if you will. >> you have been advising democrats on how to win for decades and that experience is at the core of the new documentary on your life where winning is everything, stupid. let me play another clip for our audience. role, please. >> james is a legend. >> has done something extraordinary. >> james is in the business of winning elections experiment he has a unique voice. >> if you love america, stop appeasing these pastors. >> james is a political hack. >> he is the smartest wait. >> stupid, naove people have

completely [ bleep ] it up. >> you have been so successful and we will see that in the documentary. what can this campaign one from james carville? >> i hope to be concise and repeat. if you say something once, you haven't said it at all. we had to say something 25 times before you say it, before it breaks through and too many democrats come and you and i know this because we've been in democratic politics for a long time -- james already said that. we haven't set it into you said it 25 times. i hope that they become repetitive and very concise. he tried to destroy obama care health insurance in this country. i want to expand it. tell people about how dangerous his tariffs are, and they are really dangerous! causing inflation.

>> and president clinton is the best economic explain of that ever lived. put him out explaining to people in wisconsin and michigan and arizona how these tariffs would be so devastating to the economy. and then she pushes ahead with the things that she is talking about she wants to do. i think she can do that, but we've got to be very pointed and very direct and very repetitive experiment you mentioned president clinton. he's going south tomorrow campaigning and that's a plus for them? >> i think it's a plus and the more he explains how her economic programs can help the united states and how trump's would be devastating to working people, the better it's going to be because he has great credibility on economic issues. the greatest economic boom this country has ever had. >> james carville. the sage. the only man when he was roasted at the prestigious kennedy center he had tucker carlson and al sharpton on the stage together. that shows you how good he is. james carville, thank you for being here. >> delighted to have you part

is the film. >> delighted to be in a. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us.

let me say this week we lost ethel kennedy, a humanitarian and one that really stood for a lot of the things this country needed. i remember going across the edmund pettus bridge with her just a few years ago, even in a wheelchair she kept fighting for civil rights and marched and rolled with us. valerie jarrett, senior adviser president obama and john lewis and i and others. we wish her family all of our condolences, and my family suffered another last night. my older brother, thomas sonny glasco passed in alabama just a few days after my father passed. but on a lighter note i want to thank all of you that wished me

a happy birthday on october 3rd. i did not get a chance to say it last week, but i want to also wish a happy birthday to my mentor, a guiding light, and one who helped change this country. reverend jesse jackson celebrated his 83rd birthday this week. no man has given so much so long as reverend jesse jackson and i want to wish him a happy birthday. i know his wife will tell him i did because this is her favorite show and she's watching me. well, it's one of her favorite shows. anyway, i want to wish him that. we will be right back after this.
