okay, we're just nine days out. the one and only michelle obama has some things to get off her

chest, and kamala harris is trying to make the choice as clear as she possibly can. there is so much to talk about, and lucky for us, my first guest today is jenna. kamala harris's campaign chair, she is in charge of winning this income and she hasn't done a cable news interview since harris became the nominee. also today, we are going to show you my day of the following doorknockers in battleground michigan. and later, the daily show's jordan klepper is here with his latest reporting from matt that land, which as always, you just have to see to believe. ve to s >> [ music ] okay, everyone, it's that time of year. i mean, the political ads, i'm sure you have noticed, are wall- to-wall on tv. the anxiety levels of your friends and neighbors are peaking, and the candidates out on the trail are throwing their absolute best punches on the campaign trail. for donald trump that means three hours on joe rogan's podcast, making supporters wait

literally hours for him at rallies, and calling america a garbage can in the process. on the other hand, for kamala harris, that means a megawatt all-star lineup on the trail. you can see some of the scenes right there on your screen. this week, we saw barack obama and bruce springsteen in georgia, he saw beyonce in texas on friday night, and last night, we saw the singler force that is michelle obama. >> i hope you will forgive me if i am a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore donald trump's gross incompetence while asking, luck to dazzle us at every turn. i hope that you will forgive me if i am a little angry that we are in different to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon. a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse. all of this while we pick apart

kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y'all. >> the y'all was really the thing that got me there. that was basically michelle obama doing her absolute best to shake the country awake a little, more than a week out from the election. and it is a strategy that tracks from what we are hearing from the candidate herself, because while the campaign is closing out on the airwaves with reproductive rights and of course turning the page, the vice president herself continues to deliver an incredibly stark, incredibly sober closing morning about the threat of donald trump. >> imagine donald trump with no guardrails. he who will claim unchecked and extreme power if he is re- elected. he who has vowed he will be a dictator on day 1. he who has said he wished he had generals like hitler's. >> blue. >> who calls americans who

disagree with him the enemy from within. you know what that harkens back to? donald trump has even called for the "termination of the constitution of the united states of america." >> blue. >> and let us be very clear, someone who suggests we should terminate the constitution of the united states should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the united states. never again. never again. never again. >> now, that is not just a message that she is conjuring up out of thin air, she is using trump's own words and echoing a warning that is coming from the people who know

him best. people like john kelly, a retired marine four star general, who served as trump's longest-serving chief of staff. john kelly spoke out this week in his own words and the harris campaign immediately put those words into a new ad. >> do you think he is a fascist? lexi certainly falls into the general definition of a fascist. a bright, authoritarian, ultranationalist, political ideology who has been characterized by a dictatorial leader, he admires people who are dictators. he said more than once, "hitler did some good things, too." asked if he was left to his own devices, would he be a dictator, too? >> oh, i think you would love to be point >> in somebody's president, the authority is total. >> so, what the harris campaign is doing is basically repeating the words of a decorated four star general who served under donald trump. and he is not even the only one, i mean, lots of people who

have worked for trump in high- level national security positions have been sounding the alarm for months. we have heard versions of the same warnings over and over and over again. but these latest comments from kelly do seem to be breaking through in a way that the others have not. >> president trump, though, is being called a fascist, not only by kamala harris in her townhall meeting tonight, but by his former chief of staff. >> president trump longest- serving chief of staff, john kelly. >> john kelly. >> the john kelly issued a warning. >> the john kelly said the former president praised adolf hitler in private. >> the former president praised adolf hitler. that's made admiring statements about hitler. lexi would praise adolf hitler, the nazi leader that would orchestrate the murder of 6 million . >> john kelly said the former president fits the definition of a fascist. >> the republican nominee meets the definition of a fascist. >> the definition of a fascist. >> john kelly used the words

fascist and dictator. lex kelly went on to say trump didn't understand the constitution. >> keep in mind, john kelly was longest-serving chief of staff for donald trump. x and the trump campaign is not happy. >> so, that is what millions of americans heard on their local news stations this week. still one of the most trusted sources of news out there in the country. so, if you think this is all just some sort of cable chattering class democratic fixation, it isn't. i mean, according to a new poll from abc news, half of the country sees trump as a fascist. according to a new york times siena poll, 76% of the country believes american democracy is under threat. and yet, there is no denying that the race is still tied. so, of course you're anxious. i am anxious, too. the stakes are incredibly high. we have been through a lot as a country. we are just eight years removed from the misogynistic racist defeating the first female nominee, tanks and part two a boost from vladimir putin, and

we are just four years removed from the violent insurrection trump himself incited but but in nine days and the days leading up to that, to be honest, the american people get to decide what happens next. and i want to just give you a few quick reasons why he shouldn't be completely freaking out quite yet. first of all, the race might be tied, but late deciders are breaking for harris. according to the poll from the new york times, 15% of voters haven't decided yet, and harris is leading with that group. that wasn't the case just a month ago. second, people are already voting, and in some cases, women are out voting men, and democrats are returning ballots in many of these states at a higher rate than republicans. early voting in michigan, which just started, is so far exceeding expectations. across the state, according to this report, women and black voters have cast early ballots at a higher share then at this point in 2020. even among young men, a group we have been hearing over and over again, trump has spent a great deal of money and effort

courting, harris still has a huge lead among young men who say they will definitely vote. and last but certainly not least, kamala harris is a far better ground operation and turnout operation. she also has jen o'malley dillon, or campaign chair, was a part of the team that led obama's re-election in 2012, she was eight months pregnant at the time, just so everybody knows. she managed to do bidens winning campaign in 2020, and she was selected by vice president harris, asked to stay on this summer, because she knew there was no one better for the job. she knows more about campaigns than me, for sure, and maybe than almost anyone else out there right now. she is joining me now, she is the chair of the harris for president campaign. jenna, it is great to see you, i know your life is insane right now, and i appreciate you taking the time. let me just start right here, i'm getting stopped constantly in coffee stops and train stations with questions about the state of the race, i cannot even imagine what your life is like right now. i will preface by saying i think it is good people are a little freaked out at this

point, but what should people not be freaked out about the race? you were closer to it than probably almost anyone else. >> well, hey, jen, it is great to be here with you, and you are right to say that it is okay to be nervous and to be anxious, don't be freaked out, because we feel very good about where we are. we are very confident we are going to win this thing. and it is not just because we want to win, it is because what we are seeing in the numbers and the early voting that you were just talking about, what we are seeing is extraordinary enthusiasm everywhere we go, we are seeing signs where we look to make sure that we are on track to win a very close race. this is going to be a close race, we have known it the entire fall, we are very focused on that, we have built for these moments right now, and what we are seeing from turnout to our volunteer operation to the enthusiasm growing is exactly where we want to be, and we are really confident about that, and confident we are going to win this thing.

>> so, i wanted to dig into the early vote data in a second, because everyone is an expert on early voting now, i don't know if you have seen this on social media, but we hear different iterations of this every day, it is a coin flip, it is type is that pretty much an accurate characterization of where the race sits? >> well, we do really think it is a margin of error rates, and we have seen it consistently throughout the fall. so often, as you know, at this point in a campaign, you might say our chances are not as good in one state or another, we have one pathway to 207 electoral votes, obviously that is all we care about, is getting to 270, but we see in every one of our true battleground states, that all of them are within the margin. and it is not a margin of error of four or five, we are talking a point here or there. we are seeing that the campaign and the vice president have multiple pathways to 207 electoral votes, and that is really great for us, it presents a lot of opportunity. it also makes it tough because we have a pretty wide map, we

are out there traveling everywhere, we are building a massive organization that is really driving home in each of these states, but we do feel very good about this. we also know, though, it is extremely close. so, i'm sure he will ask me about polls. my mom asked me about polls, i get it, but there's nothing that we are seeing that is surprising us right now. this is close, we are on track to win this thing, but it is going to take the work of the next nine days to close this out, and that is the most fundamental thing that we are focused on. >> so, let me ask you about the early voting, because as people know, most states across the country, especially the key battleground states, voting is happening right now, michigan early voting just started, i gave some of those numbers. as you are looking at that data, what are you seeing that is encouraging to you, that people out there who are trying to reassure their neighbor or their friends or their mom can tell them about the early vote numbers? >> yeah, so, we actually feel very, very good about what we are seeing for early vote, but first of all, there is no historical precedent for this

race. i guess that is probably an obvious thing to say, but the reality is what we are seeing is pretty unique to 2024. we are seeing high turnout everywhere. we are definitely seeing that our voters are turning out, and we look at two things. we look at how to make sure just the sheer volume of our voters are on track for what we need to win this race in our states to get to 270 electoral votes, but we are also looking at the number of voters who are not traditional voters, their lower propensity voters, and when we look head-to-head at our boat versus the republicans, we are coming out ahead there. more of our people that don't traditionally vote are showing up just in the last two days in clark county in nevada, for instance, where las vegas is, we have seen higher youth turnout in the last few days that we have seen at any other point this cycle. you mentioned michigan, we had 145,000 voters vote early just yesterday alone. so, we really like what we are seeing, we are seeing strong turnout, our margins are strong, and the folks that we

are focused on, those lower propensity voters that don't always vote, they are tuning in and they are showing up at a higher level in support of the vice president. >> it is significant because the lower propensity voters means that they are voting now, you don't have to chase him on election day, and that is a very big deal if they are turning out in nevada that way. let me ask you about abortion, i mean, one of the things that obviously has changed, it is obviously a huge issue for kamala harris, huge issue and a contrast in this campaign, it is a big thing that happened since the last presidential election, of course the overturning of roe v wade. i hear this sometimes, do you think women -- are there women that are turning out that are not being captured in polls? is there a portion of people who as pollsters are looking at the 2020 electorate, that they may not be capturing how angry and outraged women are in this moment? >> well, i'm glad you brought this up, and hopefully your viewers saw the vice president

in houston, you mentioned that earlier, where it was an amazing event, and of course amazing to have people like beyonce and willie nelson there, but truly, what was amazing was the real people, the real stories of people that have been harmed by donald trump. that so much of what we talk about and we are focused on is making this case that a second term of donald trump will be worse than the first. when you talk about reproductive freedom, you don't have to make that case in the future, it is happening right now, and the bravery and the courage of these women and men sharing their stories about what they have gone through, so nobody has to go through that again, is so powerful. and it is powerful to mobilize our voters for sure. i'm sure you feel this way, too, this isn't just a women's issue. i, like so many women in the world, i've had my own fertility journey, and my husband has been along with me on that, it impacts all of us. but this is also an issue for those undecided voters that are still out there, and we think they are a small number, but

three to 5% in the scott brown states of people that haven't made up their mind yet. maybe they aren't that political, maybe they don't tune in all the time, but we know that they are more open to hearing from the vice president than they are donald trump, and they want to be there with us, and an issue like reproductive freedom, to remember that that is an issue on the ballot, and that we can all do something about it is really powerful and you are going to continue to see us drive this home in the final stretch. >> no question. i noticed that there has been an appeal to men, from michelle obama and vice president pence's remarks as well. let me ask you about the truck and his theory of this election, because it seems to me they are banking on being able to turn out low propensity men. i think anyone would say your turnout operation, your operation is better, so i am betting you don't think the strategy is going to work, but why not? >> well, look, i think across the board, when you have someone that doesn't vote regularly, it takes a lot more effort to reach them. just yesterday alone in our battleground states, we knocked on 1.2 million doors. and every weekend over the

course of the fall, we have seen those numbers grow and grow and grow. and for someone that isn't a traditional voter or maybe doesn't see politics or campaigning or traditional news, we have to work hard to reach them, and reach them in ways that people want to receive their information. but that really means you go on a journey with someone. you are talking to them about the issues they care about, you are making sure they know the methods to vote in their own lives and what communities they are in, and you are helping support and for that, that takes a lot of effort. most powerful in that effort is people in their own communities, volunteering and reaching out to people. that really matters, and we are so proud of this organization and the people that have come together, and it really reflects the vice president's leadership, our volunteers are from every walk of life, every age, every group, and they have relationships and they have stories and reasons that they are putting this effort in and they are sharing those as they are going out there to reach people, so, we also inspired by

the organization and the people in this country that is standing up and standing with the vice president, and then going out there and doing the work to reach people that still need more information. >> of volunteers and field organizers, the heart and soul of the whole thing, everybody should know. we have to sneak and a very quick break, i have more questions for jen, i'm sure you want to hear more from her. i'm going to ask her about the same washing we heard, about donald trump's admiration for hitler's generals. we will hear from jan after a quick break. r a quick break. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ it's nice to know you're free to focus on what matters, with reliable medicare coverage from unitedhealthcare. ♪♪

trump, from donald trump. it is kind of par for the course but it is really unfortunately, with a guy like that, it is kind of baked into the vote at this point. >> republican congressman tom says people don't want to talk about it. new hampshire governor chris sununu says it is all big ben. they seem to think voters don't care, but the harris campaign is betting they do. jenna is back with me, she is the chair for the harris campaign. this is just a few of them, but you hear this from republicans on tv, strong supporters all the time, who seem to think of fascism and kind words for hitler is all big ben, and voters don't care. i know you don't agree with that, but what are you seeing, because you look at this from the strategy of winning over voters, what are you seeing in this being affected and who is it effective with? >> yeah, i mean, look, i think we have seen from the beginning that when people who have worked closest with donald trump speak out, it has real impact on voters, and certainly

on the is voters that we are still trying to reach, these small segment of undecided voters. we know anecdotally, we know from our research, when someone like john kelly stands up and speaks about what it was like to serve under donald trump, speaks about how he clearly wants unchecked power, the american people are not comfortable with that. and that is an important contrast that we have, and i think that it is fundamental to everything that the vice president is talking about. how we turn the page from this, how we have a leadership in this country that is focused on the issues that the american people care about, we do think it is important, it is important when people that are closest to donald trump speak out about it, and we have seen all across our data. >> and we saw earlier the campaign ad using donald trump's own words, which should be startling to people, liz cheney is out there on the trail, i think this is appealing to undecided, the four to 6% that you mentioned, more

moderate voters, republican voters, is that really who you are focused on with these ads and liz cheney and others like that on the trail? >> well, we are obviously focused on reaching a broad coalition of voters, and you see that across the travel that we are doing, the events that the vice president is doing, you hear that in her speeches. you know, we really believe it is going to take a broad coalition to stand with us, to make sure that vice president harris and governor walz nguyen, but of course, to these voters, maybe they have never voted with a democrat, maybe there is someone that, you know, it turned out to politics in the past because they really didn't like how it felt to see donald trump on tv when he was president. for those voters, it is important to remind them of what is at stake, and to remind them that this time around, donald trump really won't have any guardrails on him. and we know when we talk about that, and not just as a campaign, i mean fundamentally, as you mentioned, these are our words, these are people that no- trump the best, they're very

credible sources and the fact that they are out there doing that now, out there on the campaign trail, speaking out against a party they have stood for their whole lives, that has real impact, and we think it is very important in these closing days. and it is a factor of course to build on top of the vice president's vision. and that really is fundamental, too, to what we believe we need to do as we close out this race. we need to also talk about the leadership the vice president is going to bring forward, you hear that at every event she is doing, we will continue to do that through the close. >> and i should mention, the vice president is talking about abortion rights, there are ads on the economy and abortion rights can also turn the page, there is a lot happening at every moment at this point in the campaign. the vice president is going to speak in d.c. were of course the vice president spoke on january 6, there is a lot of reading into that and predictions of what that is going to be, there's a lot of time before that speeches

finalize, but what are you on the campaign hoping people take away from that speech on tuesday? >> well, you are right to say that this is a really important speech and it is really setting up the closing argument for these final days of the campaign, to be clear with the american people that there is a choice between the vice president and donald trump. and you are seeing that in how donald trump is closing this race, you have talked about it here on your show, talking about the enemy within, when you see these events, it is a lot of chaos and vitriol, and that is really not the path that the vice president is going to take us on. she really is talking about a new generation of leadership and a new path forward, and i think what you're going to see on tuesday is that stark contrast, but you are also going to see what we see at every event that the vice president has and all of our surrogates are having out there. people are dancing and having fun, and yes, there is a lot of joy, too, but it is hopeful and it is people coming together with folks they know, bringing friends and family, but also folks that they don't, because they believe in something better and they believe it is possible to have that, i think

the vice president is going to talk about how this election is not about her even or donald trump, it is about the american people. and it is about her to-do list, what is she going to do when she walks into the white house? she is going to be thinking about you, and she's going to think about how she can bring costs down for your family, and she is going to make housing more affordable, and she's going to protect talk and social security and medicare, how she's going to ensure reproductive freedoms are for everyone. those are the issues that the american people care most about, and it is possible to believe that we can have a future that really is led by the vice president on all the issues that we are all thinking about every day, and that's really what you're going to see in our close on tuesday. >> the jen o'malley dillon knows more about campaigns and politics and successfully running them than almost anyone else, also about asked mom. thank you for taking the time during a very busy time, really appreciate it. and coming up, with donald trump getting more unhinged by the minute, you might find yourself thinking, how is

[ laughter ] okay, let's be honest, if you are watching the show, you are probably wondering, how the hell is this race tied, when trump says somethings like hitler did some good things, migrants are eating cats and dogs, and maybe we should have a purge style date of violence. who agrees with this? there are those people out there. and no one is better at exposing just how fervent some of trump's supporters are, no matter how outrageous he gets, no matter what he says, than jordan klepper. jordan has a new special airing tomorrow night and we have got a sneak peek for you. >> yes, the government is all- powerful, but also, not powerful enough, which is why trump recently called for police to have a little purge to do with the rising crime. >> the one rough hour, and i

mean real rough, and it will end immediately. >> do you support a cop purge? >> i actually do. >> litter box, the first one i am getting on cop purge day. extra me now is jordan klepper's new special airs tomorrow night on comedy central, it is called the daily show represents: the pulse, rally together. jordan, we have talked about this before, i love your >>. i don't even know how they don't know who you are, maybe they do know who you are, but you have been going to these trump rallies for eight years now. we are just nine days out from an election. how have these rallies changed, how have they stayed the same? >> well, i will say, part of the conceit of this special was that we wanted to get new people in who hadn't been to a rally before, and see if i was seeing things differently than they were, and quite frankly,

what we noticed is there is less of an energy there. there are not as many people showing up, it feels tired. there are definitely maga folks who are going around the loop, that have been there 1000 times, i met edward, on that with him, he has been there 93 times, he started going to every single freaking rally, but it seems like the circus has been around your town many, many times, and not everybody is showing up for this last go around >> you do hear that, but you have been to a lot of, 93 rallies, good lord. we are going to play and others clip from the special, this is a particularly good one. >> it is are controlling the women? >> the government. >> so, if gets in office, they will control the weather? >> well, they will pass on the torch, i assume. >> the weather is more like a machine and less of a spell. >> a candy tour things from happening. >> so, watching that, i mean, it is obviously a conspiracy theory, but you talk to so many of these people, you're just presenting them with basic questions.

was there ever a conspiracy theory that you found where people don't buy it or is it basically the strand of a trump says something, people of the maga faithful are going to repeat it, even if it doesn't entirely make sense? >> yeah, i think trump is the pace car for misinformation, and if he says it, people are trying to catch up. part of the fun of this, we brought thomas aligned along, and he came along saying wild things that even trump did, and people matched it. the liberals on the east coast are often wondering how can people believe this, is there any new piece of information that is going to change anybody's mind? and quite frankly, the answer is no for the michelle for people. they could replace them make america great hats, if they could just say i don't know -- i know and i don't care, people are just loving this guy. they don't care what the new information, what the new, crazy, wild thing out there is,

their voting november 5th trump all the way. >> one of your goals, obviously, of a special like this, is to make people laugh, you're obviously very good at it, but we are very close to the election. what do you hope people watching you get out of it? is this something beyond laughter? >> i hope -- i mean, i think there is catharsis and laughing. >> yes, that is true. >> i think there is a little bit of hope in this. at the end of the special, i met up with somebody who i have seen at a bunch of trump rallies, who thought, lot of vents were a spirit most people in the maga bubble think there is no energy on the other side. and he was willing to come with me to a kamala harris event and see the pain of actors in action, and at the end, he didn't change his mind, but he was open to the idea that there are people passionate about ideas that he is not passionate about. if you take one thing away, you can still have these conversations in an america i believe in, it is one where you

can share a laugh with somebody else you don't exactly believe in, but was open to new expenses. at least we got a little bit of that hope at the end of the special projects we all need a little hope to dose down the anxiety. jordan klepper, i can't wait to watch, thank you so much for joining me, really appreciate it. coming up, when you are this close to election day, there is nothing more valuable than hearing directly from voters. i traveled to michigan this week to see what is motivating folks in the final moments of this campaign, and some of what i've heard definitely surprised me. we will be right back. >> [ music ] >> [ music ] check out mahomes scrambling into t-mobile to get the new iphone 16 pro,

at this point in the race, almost nothing is more important than the ground game, especially in the battleground streets that will decide this race, including michigan where early voting kicked off this weekend with more than 145,000 people casting ballots yesterday. jen o'malley dillon just call that out, too, because that is far exceeding what the expectations were. that is on top of the 1.4 million ballots already cast by mail. it is a testament to the hard work being done by so many organizations to get voters to turn out, and one of them is emily's list, which is working to get women elected across the country, up and down the ballot. and i got a close look at the work they are doing when i traveled to michigan this week on friday and tagged along with emily's list stoppers as they knocked on doors in oakland county. to see for myself what is

motivating voters there. >> [ music ] >> tell me a little bit about the work that emily's list is doing in michigan. >> you know, emily's list is the largest resource for women in politics, and we are making sure to protect the rights that michiganders devoted to secure here, including reproductive rights. >> we have a democratic trifecta here in michigan now, we got it last cycle in 2022. it was long and hard fought to get that trifecta. next we have kamala harris at the top of the ticket, you have elissa slotkin, you have a big state representative race, we are in the district right now, so there are a lot of women on the ticket this cycle. >> yeah. >> hi, i'm jen, how are you? nice to meet you, too. is there one issue that is driving you both to the polls this year? >> oh gosh. >> there is a lot >> reproductive rights probably, for me as a female, and also, we both are raising our daughter who is 14, so i

think that is a really important issue for us, for sure. >> we worked hard to get reproductive rights here in michigan, we don't want to lose that. my family are really big into the lgbtq ia rights, and we are concerned with donald trump coming and that they are going to take those away, so, we have been following that. >> and harris wins, are you nervous about what the environment could be like in michigan, given what happened four years ago? >> and harris wins? oh, yeah. >> i know there's going to be an effort to try to challenge and change the outcome. >> no, that is a really good point, because i have thought about concerns. i work -- i'm former law- enforcement, and i work with people and i have put out some feelers, okay, have you been hearing any inside concerns for safety, even going to vote, but i do believe the concerns maybe afterwards in the push, because he is not going to concede but he hasn't conceded from 2020. so, yeah, there are some concerns pressure, i think

there will be possible disruptions. >> [ music ] >> i'm jen, nice to meet you. >> i'm kevin. >> nice to meet you. have you decided who you are going to vote for you? what were the biggest issues making a decision this year? >> i want the complexity of good government versus the simplicity of silliness, so it makes the choice pretty easy. >> sounds like you think one candidate is silly and the other one is not? >> well, yeah, i mean, i'm not a trump man, i wouldn't vote for trump, i think he lives, i think he cheats, i think he is unethical. >> so, it is a character issue for you? >> yeah, i think it should be a character issue for all of us. >> [ music ] >> when you guys decided you wanted to get involved in politics this cycle again, why did you decide you wanted to

work for emily's list? >> i think after the overturn of roe v. wade, there was so much at stake. >> i do think so many of us remember exactly how we felt in 2016, and now knowing how much is at stake for things like -- >> how old were each of you in 2016? >> i was 19. >> i was as well. that's so, it was my first presidential vote, voting for hillary clinton, and i remember what that was, and i think similar to that, that really shaped my entry into politics. >> [ music ] >> are there issues on your mind that you are focused on, that you are worried about, as you look to the outcome in just over a week from now? >> yeah, for me, the two biggest things are the conflict in gaza and my right to choose. women's rights. i am terrified of what the other side could be doing and controlling our bodies were passing legislation to make

that choice between a woman, her doctor, and the government, that is absolutely a terrifying thing to me personally. >> the conflict in gaza, tell me a bit about your positions there, how you feel about where the candidates are coming from on that issue. >> yeah, i honestly -- i haven't found a compelling argument on either side. i do agree that there needs to be a two state solution, but killing innocent civilians on a daily basis is absolutely gut wrenching. i am an arab american, and i don't believe that joe biden and kamala harris have done enough, and i'm voting for them to hope that they will do better, because i do believe that donald trump would not be beneficial in this situation. >> you still feel motivated to vote? >> i think this election, the stakes are way too high. >> [ music ] >> thanks so much to emily's list for letting me tag along,

and coming up with nine days to go, michelle obama is just one of the closing messengers, taking the case directly to the american people. it is just one of the things i want to ask former obama campaign manager jim messina, he is standing by to answer my questions, coming up next. >> [ music ] >> [ music ] oyees get the inforn they need instantly. this is how business goes further with t-mobile for business. known for nights to remember. known for creating memories. known for strong family ties. no one wants to be known for cancer, but a treatment can be. keytruda is known to treat cancer. fda-approved for 17 types of cancer, including certain early-stage and advanced cancers. one of those cancers is a kind of bladder and urinary tract cancer called advanced urothelial cancer. keytruda may be used with the medicine enfortumab vedotin in adults when your bladder or urinary tract cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery.

>> that was none other than michelle obama, who is very freaking good at this, making a direct appeal to men on the issue of abortion rights last night in michigan. dreaming of her questions about the state of the race is jim messina, he was president obama's campaign manager in 2012, which i think you all know. if you are the harris campaign, i'm guessing that speech i just showed a clip of it was one of the best things that happened to you this week. i think we both know how michelle obama is at this, but looking at the numbers, what else are you feeling good about if you are them right now? >> jen, here comes the surrogates. you showed michelle obama, there is no bigger and more popular political figure in america than michelle obama, and her coming out the final week. as you said earlier, this is about the ground game now, this is about supporting the truth and making sure people want to vote, and having michelle obama up there was amazing. her husband, barack freaking obama, as he would say, unbelievable this week. both making the case to the

american public about the moment we are in, but did you see him rapping eminem lyrics, i mean, come on, he is so much better than anyone else. and this is incredibly important, because when you start to look at the early vote numbers, you can say we are not doing as well on this state, let's send obama here. we are not doing as well in this state, let's send walz over here. so, having these surrogates is incredibly help . at the same time, donald trump has crickets for surrogates, and that is a big advantage. >> that is such a good reminder for people, they're going to switch things around, the campaign is still figuring that out right now, to your point. okay, if you are them, what is the biggest area of concern where where you feel like more needs to happen right now. >> sadly, we are right back to people trying to steal this election.

donald trump told truth social this week that the election was stolen from him, they are starting to do it again, he is watching it. why is he saying this 11 days before the election, jen, because he is starting to set up the argument for after the election. this week, north carolina member of congress said that north carolina should just give its electoral votes to trump now, it shouldn't have to vote. what are we talking about? this week in the courts, we had to go to court in four different states, virginia, michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia to stop the republicans from trying to screw with who can vote, when they can vote. i mean, we are just now fighting this multi tiered war on the legal stuff that -- in a way that is much bigger than 2020 and a little bit more scary, too. the good news is, we won all these lawsuits, but the bad news is we shouldn't have to be fighting. no question. keeping our eye on that, what is one thing in the 30 seconds we have left that people aren't talking about that you think people should have their eye on.

>> kamala harris's momentum. there is of you in d.c. that he has a momentum and it is just not true. a full 15% of voters say they are undecided or could change their vote coming into the election. they now favorite her by 10 points. this is a 12 point move. he led by a couple points 10 days ago. now she has a momentum, she is closing better. i don't think people fully understand how important that is and how good she is on the close. >> important to remember. it is not all the d.c. pundits who know all the things. jim messina, thank you so much. i have got one more thing to tell you about before we go today, we are back before -- after a very quick break. ter a . it starts with peace of mind. humana's medicare advantage plans offer $0 or low monthly plan premiums. and there's a cap on your out-of-pocket costs. these plans can even include coverage for the medications you take to feel your best every day. with $0 copays on
