it is good to be back with you in this second hour of "chris jansing reports." at this hour, trying to deliver divine intervention, donald trump, any moment now, will attend a national faith summit in georgia. the first of two events he'll have in the state today before early voting wraps up in that critical battleground. and distancing and disavowing. republicans in congress playing clean up after donald trump's opening act, a comic pushed racist rhetoric. their response amid worries more than one key voting bloc might

be offended. plus, the rule of threes. vice president kamala harris making a trio of stops in swing state michigan, highlighting big federal investments in manufacturing that donald trump recently criticized. and sounding the alarm, what u.s. intelligence agencies say they are most worried about when it comes to violence and the election. our nbc news reporters are following the latest developments. we begin outside atlanta where donald trump is doubling his appearances today. nbc's marissa power at his first fate faith event. >> reporter: we're outside a faith-based round table in powder springs, an hour west of georgia. that's set to begin at any moment, and, chris, we know that courting evangelicals has been a big part of his campaign. obviously several years ago that has been the case, especially in

the aftermath of the attempted assassination, we have seen the ramped up religious inferences that have been made and the rhetoric at the rnc, mr. trump himself, this idea of divine intervention. we've seen that same kind of rhetoric even this weekend. i want to take you to madison square guardian. >> we thank you for our public servants who have heeded the call for greater good and placed themselves in the service of the citizenry. we thank you for modern day miracles. we all watched you spare president trump from an assassin, we give you the credit and honor for protecting this man who has promised to fight, fight, fight, for the united states. >> reporter: that similar language and rhetoric we are already seeing and hearing as this event put on by the national faith advisory board is just beginning here chris, and

we are expecting mr. trump to make those remarks around 4:00. it's not lost on us the significance of where we are as well. georgia is a key state, not just courting key evangelicals, but with two different separate appearances in the state of georgia. it was just in 2020, it was less than 12,000 votes that decided biden's victory here, so this is a state that clearly of significant importance to hold two different appearances here. this one of course really courting the evangelicals in this area, chris. >> marissa parra, thank you. republican lawmakers are pushing back on comments by donald trump's opening act of his big msg rally. sahil kapur joins us from capitol hill. puerto rican voters obviously have a large presence in many states. florida, pennsylvania, new york. what are we hearing from members of congress? >> reporter: that's right, chris. this moment has caused a stir among members in congress, members, lawmakers who don't criticize things happening at the rally. they are this time.

this congresswoman, maria salazar of florida said she's disgusted by a racist comment. says it does not reflect gop values. carlos jimenez called the remark completely classless and in poor taste. said it definitely doesn't reflect my values. senator rick scott who is facing reelection, a staunch trump ally, trying to be the next senate republican, the joke bombed for a reason. it's not funny and not true. puerto ricans are amazing people and amazing americans. reminding everyone of course puerto rico, u.s. citizens. and fighting for reelection in a competitive district tweeted that he is proud to be puerto rican, the only thing that was garbage is a bad comedy set. he imploring republicans to stay on message. what do the four members have in common, they are all from states, florida and new york, where more than a million puerto ricans are estimated to live. and that also gives you some

indication of why the trump campaign distanced himself from these remarks. new york and florida are not competitive but you know what state is, pennsylvania, an estimated roughly half a million puerto ricans live in pennsylvania, that's according to ucla, and democrats have responded to all of this by arguing that joke, that remark does represent republican values and the only reason these republicans and trumps are backing off is they know they stepped in it, and they are worried about the political fallout. vice president harris is expected to speak at a semiconductor factory in michigan. aaron gilchrist is reporting from warren, michigan. what are we expecting to hear from the vice president? why there? why now? >> reporter: you're right, the vice president just arrived at her first stop in michigan today. she'll make three stops in saginaw at a semiconductor plant that was the beneficiary of some of the chips and science act

legislation that came through congress that the biden administration pushed through, the vice president going to be talking about manufacturing, manufacturing jobs. talking about the american worker, about her plans for the economy when she speaks her. as we understand it at the semiconductor plant where you're seeing a live picture now, the vice president will tour with employees there before she speaks, again, touting her ideas for what to do to improve the economy, to make things more affordable for americans and to create jobs as has been done in michigan through some of the actions of the biden-harris administration. the vice president will then travel south here to macomb county to warren, michigan, where she's expected to go to a training facility, a labor union training facility where she'll meet with instructors and apprentices there, before wrapping up the day with her running mate, tim walz at a rally and concert there. that is an opportunity to try to get out the vote, encourage people to vote in michigan.

it's worth noting that this is a state, obviously, that is very much in play. the polls are neck in neck, in a dead heat for vice president harris and former president trump, and so the vice president is coming here, trying to encourage people to get out to vote, trying to talk about how she has done work for workers in michigan, in terms of creating jobs, and improving job opportunities for potential voters here in michigan. that's something that i think we can expect to hear the vice president talk a lot about while she's here today and particularly in the few minutes when she speaks in saginaw, chris. >> aaron gilchrist, thank you. meantime, u.s. intelligence agencies are warning that domestic extremists, radicalized by voter fraud conspiracy theories are the most likely to pose a threat of violence in the coming election. nbc's is here with me in studio. you saw a report, what does it say? >> this goes out to local law enforcement agencies, here are the threats you might see.

it's no surprise to anybody following the news. the threats are things we have seen in the open, it's the threat of violent extremists, driven by conspiracy theories, that there's widespread voter fraud, and the other is an animosity, a hay trid for the candidate. this bulletin warned that judges involved in election lawsuits, candidates, election workers, media, all of these are potential targets for these attacks, and these attacks could happen at polling places, ballot drop boxes and voter registration states. colorado's intelligence agency also highlighted risks from insider threats, which is notable too. we noticed that since 2020, we have seen an influx of extremists, and electrician deniers wanting to work as election workers, that's a new threat. >> when there are people that defend some of this talk, this misinformation, say it's just talk, what these -- this

analysis is saying, is no, this has real world consequences. >> absolutely. and it's notable that this exists at all. around 2020 and at the beginning of 2021, the fbi got flak for not giving these bulletins before january 6th, for fear that they were trampling on protected speech. at this point, there have been so many documented examples of this type of threat. so many security measures having to be ramped up by local election offices, the threat is unmistakable. >> brandy, thank you. in 90 seconds, here's a political question i have never asked before, could interviews on twitch streams and videos at gas station pumps reach the voters least likely to vote? but first, kamala harris was asked directly about her strategy and how data dictates where she campaigns in this final leg of the race. >> to be very frank with you, my internal polling is my instinct. i let the campaign people deal with all of that other stuff,

republican heavy hitters from his msg rally. elon musk, melania trump, hulk hogan, and dr. phil, and why in pennsylvania, leonardo dicaprio, padma, campaigned for harris with bruce springsteen and barack obama. >> no one can sit on the sidelines, there's too much on the line, and we must not wake up the day after the election and have any regrets about what we could have done. >> you need to get out and vote. get your husband off the coach, the football game doesn't mean a damn thing, you got to get out and vote. >> i'm asking you one last time. let us not just sit around and complain, let's do something. >> don't just vote. vote ten times. you get yourself to the polls and then you take nine of your friends and family with you. >> joining us is math you dowd,

chief strategist for the bush/cheney 2004 campaign, and msnbc political analyst, and former republican governor of ohio, john kasich and msnbc political analyst. governor, look, every election is a turnout election, right? but in a race that has been this tight for this long, is it time to throw everyone and everything at those low propensity voters and hope something sticks? what gets them off the couch? >> when you read today about the nature of the media, you know, it's not television anymore. it's everything. it's instagram, it's tiktok, it's x. it's everything, and as you reported early, you go to a gas station, you're pumping your gas and you still can't get away from it, and look, trump's used the wwe people, kamala using the boss himself, and i mean springsteen, not obama, and so

they're doing everything they can to get their people out because i have been saying now for about two weeks it's all pretty much baked in. you watch the turnout. if you watch her schedule recently, she spent the whole weekend in philadelphia, a critical place to get a massive turnout to overcome some of the other areas of pennsylvania that are tough. today she's in michigan. i was just in michigan at the university of michigan, and i had a leading democrat talk to me and say, i'll tell you, she's not here enough, she's not doing enough. they're looking at where they can go, and just racing up and down, and this is like -- this is a really crazy time. i have been in the middle of these things and in a way it's like water torture, drip, drip, drip, get them out. it's craziness now. >> as europe, we're showing kamala harris, by the way in saginaw, michigan, cornings head lock, semiconductor next gen

facility. she's talking to workers there, exactly what that michigan democrat was telling you she needs to do, and to the point that the governor was also making, we are seeing more ways arguably than ever trying to convince people to vote in this final week. the harris campaign put governor tim walz on a live stream, on a site, some people may not be familiar with called twitch, playing a video game against congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, and it was "the new york times" that reported that the dnc is paying for 15-second video ads on digital gas station kiosks at checkout counters in five different states. is all of this new outreach that we're seeing just a reflection of the fractured messaging environment we live in now, that maybe they're still trying to figure out what works, what doesn't? how do you see all of this? >> well, i think it's a combination of things and having

been through two campaigns as president in 2001 and 2004. >> that's the stone ages. i was there too. we didn't have twitch. >> we're going to send a message to a cell phone, that was when it was like, whoa, are you really? and i remember we went through a whole bunch of different ideas. you get to the end of a campaign, and there's always -- i mean, in a presidential race, at this level, there's always surplus money, and the question is what do you spend your money on? she has plenty of money. donald trump has plenty of money. what are the ways you can reach voters in this day and age that somebody else might not have done before. we bought ads next to the weather report on radio stations in the final ten days. nobody had done that before, so it sounded like the weather report was sponsored by george w. bush in the course of that,

and that was 15-second radio ads in this. you look for creative means in a tight election, and one thing i'll say, we talk about the tightness of election, the average margin for president over the last 30 years in a winning president in the last 30 years has been 3%. that's the average margin in a presidential race. that's going to be the same this time. it was in the last two elections, the two elections before that. i think she's favored right now, but it's close. >> as someone who was a radio reporter for four years, i can't imagine somebody not thinking it's a great idea to run an ad next to the weather, which is what they really pay attention to, what people driving really are paying attention too. anyway, governor, you know, i was at the trump rally, i said this last night, and there was a sign above the jumbotron that never changed. it said vote early, and that's

something that was reiterated by one speaker, and then the next, then the next. >> you line up like you're the third monkey on the arc and it's starting to rain. you vote, you vote early, and then you bring your friends so that we can take back our country once and for all. >> you need to get friends and family to vote, make sure they vote, vote early. this is important. >> it's so interesting to me. the trump campaign switched gears on early voting. 5% more of registered republicans have cast a ballot than registered democrats. big change from 2020. do you think this messaging shift might make a difference for republicans? >> it's stunning that republicans are now kind of matched to democrats on early voting, something that we hadn't seen before, and i think it's very significant but i have to

say, in reading the media the last couple of days, this race is so close. if you look at what people are saying, democrats are freaked out at the thought of trump being elected. republicans freaked out at the thought of harris being elected. both think this is existential, maybe the country comes to an end. we need to take a deep breath. we're going to survive this, regardless of who wins. some folks watching, say we can't, we will. we have been through very tough times in this country before, whether it was the wars, depression, the race between john adams and thomas jefferson. that was as tough as you could find. and i have been around the public arena, and i worry about our country. i am not worried that we are facing an existential threat. we will survive this. the founders created a

constitution and a process, whereby everything gets checked in one way or another. could it be rickety, rocky, yes. we need to stop thinking of other people as the enemy. they have a different point of view. some of it is hyped up. we need to remember that we're all made in the image of god, and they were all to be respected, and we need to just realize, take a deep breath, we will survive this. you don't have to leave the country. you can stay here and work in your neighborhood, and make friends with people you may not agree with. this is so important, chris, because i hear so much -- so many people so up tight. they don't know where to go, what to do. it's going to be fine. you may not have your side win, but rewill get through it and i think if we're together, we'll be stronger. >> you'll be happy to hear as i was walking through the line and talking to trump supporters, and one woman was saying to me how horrible it was going to be if

kamala harris was elected. a woman said we lost in 2020, and we're still here. whoever wins, it's going to be okay. so there you go. there are a few people still who believe what you believe, governor john kasich, thank you. matthew dowd, stay close. coming up, on "chris jansing reports," michigan election workers are counting votes thanks to a new law. what it could mean when a winner in that state is determined.

it's starting, the vote count is underway in the battleground state of michigan where the polls continue to show a race too close to call, and with 15 electoral votes at stake. election workers there have started processing absentee ballots as the national count of mail-in and early in-person votes is surpassing 43 million. shaquille brewster is covering this story for us on the ground in detroit. tom bonnier is a senior adviser. and adam gentleston, former chief of staff for john fetterman. welcome all. you're at the facility where absentee ballots are being opened and processed. tell us what you're seeing. >> reporter: when you look at the state of michigan, we know that more than 1.5 million people have already returned their absentee ballots, and today, because of the new law here in michigan, clerks across the state are now able -- they

have the option to start working through the those actual ballots. here in detroit, it's happening in the massive convention hall. workers are coming back from their lunch break. i think we have some video to show you of what we were watching earlier, where we saw workers actually going through and cutting open those absentee ballots. they confirm the number on the ballot with the number on the ballot envelope. if everything checks out under the watchful eye of challengers, they put the ballot in the tabulator. the impact is unlike what we have in 2020, the expectation is it will not drag into the late night hours. i want to listen to the conversation we have with detroit's clerk about the impact of the change. when will detroit have the results posted? >> by 11:00 news. 90 to 95% will be posted by

then. >> reporter: why is that? >> now we're able to preprocess. we're able to do the work that we would do on election day, nine days prior. i think it gives more trust to our voters. i think they believe in the process more, right? if we're able to show that we can get through our work and present it efficiently. >> reporter: chris, i think you could see the joy in her face with the idea that they don't have to wait until election day to start going through for them hundreds of thousands of ballots. they can go through methodically. today they're going to go through 11,000 ballots, they can build the trust with folks who know the totals aren't going to be recorded until election night. >> i have watched that up close, the pressure of those folks on election night when they're waiting is really a lot. thank you for that, shaq.

tom, the michigan secretary of state's office reports 1.7 million voters have cast a ballot in that state. put that in perspective, what are the numbers that you're seeing tell you? >> what we're seeing in the turnout in michigan is pretty remarkable. we have been expecting, as you were talking about in the last segment, republicans have been pushing early voting very hard, and we have been expecting to see them increase their numbers, and as you showed in some states we have been seeing that. in michigan, a lot of these numbers, they don't have partisan registration there, but we look at the demographics. there are more women voting. a bigger gender gap even than we had in the dobbs election in 2022. bigger than 2020. black voters, big turnout in detroit. older black women, a bigger share of the early vote than we saw four years ago. those are good, early signs. still lots of votes to be cast on election day there, but good early signs for the harris

campaign. >> how does it tradition that willy hold? -- traditionally hold. we seem to have a better mix, a reflection of what the larger voter population is. we have 44 million americans already voting. more than a quarter of the total cast in 2020, and i know it's still early, but is this sort of a better indication maybe of where things might be on election day or you just say, who knows? >> it's a bit of a question. it's been a roller coaster, as you noted. it was overwhelmingly democratic because donald trump told his supporters that vote by mail was a form of fraud. now that you're seeing republican come back into the process as they used to do before donald trump was around, it will be more balanced. expectation is still that the election day will lean more republican and it's just going to be less of a stark

polarization than we saw four years ago. >> adam, i want to play what the harris campaign said about what they're seeing with the early vote. take a listen. >> we actually feel very good about what we're seeing for early vote. we are seeing high turnout everywhere. when we look head to head at our vote, versus republicans, we're coming out ahead there. more of our people that don't traditionally vote are showing up. 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 two days than we have seen at any other point this cycle. in michigan, 145,000 voters voted early yesterday alone. >> you worked for the late senator harry reid. i wonder what you make of the turnout there and in michigan? >> i think this is my eighth cycle. i think observing first elections in nevada. i have been through this a few

times before. i want to zero in on what jen said. she focused on people who don't usually vote. that's one of the positive signs for democrats. it's not just about turning out people in the early vote. if you're just turning out voters who vote on election day, you're doing what's called cannibalizing your election day vote, and i think there's some of that going on with republicans. this is the first cycle, especially in nevada where the company has emphasized voting, without contradictory messages from donald trump. you have a lot of people turning out in the upstate places in the rural counties in nevada. what we think is happening there is those are a lot of people who probably would have waited and voted on election day. republicans are cannibalizing what would normally be their massive turnout on election day, which would be an advantage over democrats. what democrats are seeing is more turnout in the early vote among people who don't normally vote. that's additive, and increases

their total, and on election day, you go back to those who would vote on election day, and turn them out. that's what you see as a positive sign in nevada in particular, and in pennsylvania and michigan as well. >> that's one of the places i want to ask you there question about, the harris campaign has been intently focused on building the support of suburban voters and former republicans obviously. they're hoping it might be able to counter potential losses among more traditionally democratic voters, specifically arab-americans who have objected to the administration's policy on israel. does it work that way? could it work that way? >> it certainly could, and you've seen in the polling this entire cycle that democrats are making gains with suburban voters, and here's the thing about suburban voters is, one, they tend to live in relatively dense areas which makes them easier to turn out when it comes to ground game. they tend to be more reliable

voters. college-educated voters are more populous in suburban countries. people with college degrees tend to be more reliable voters. you have a higher yield among suburban populations than you do elsewhere. not values judgments, these are cold hard strategic factings the campaign is dealing with. i think there have been signs all along president biden and kamala harris are making gains. and you're seeing that manifest in the early vote data, which is an encouraging sign. >> guys, thank you so much. and still to come on "chris jansing reports" the texas senate race. nbc news got a look at internal polling from one of the campaigns. what it shows about the chances democrats might flip that seat blue. hat seat blue worried about leaking when you wanna be laughing? it's time to upgrade. only always discreet has a unique drytech layer to keep you drier than depend.

new polling reveals the potential for democrats vying for two senate seats that have been republican strongholds for more than a decade, very very close in critical races in texas and nebraska. ted cruz and deb fischer were elected in 2013 but the latest "new york times" sienna poll shows the lead narrowing and both races in the margin of error. nbc's capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles and nbc senior

political editor mark murray join me. it feels like every cycle we hear texas could swing blue. i have spent more than a few days in texas talking to democrats, four years ago, eight years ago, 12 years ago, we felt that. but you have new reporting on some internal polling so tell us about that. >> it's important to keep in mind we should take internal polling with a grain of salt and degree of skepticism. internal polling shows the race is tied, 46% to 46%, between ted cruz and colin allred, while we haven't seen a public poll that shows the race that tight, we have seen a number of public polls, "the new york times" poll that you showed a few minutes ago, demonstrate the race is within the margin of errors, and is up for grabs. democrats are also buoyed by what they're seeing on the ground. we saw this rally on friday night in houston. of course beyonce was there, along with kamala harris, but it brought 30,000 people out, and you just do not see political rallies that bring that size of

a crowd. and colin allred, the democrat in this race was one of the featured speakers and was received very well by that crowd, and i can tell you just being in texas, i was there a week ago. i was at one of the biggest democratic polling locations in the state, and on day two of early voting, the lines were wrapped around the building. there is certainly a degree of energy and optimism among democrats in texas. as one operative told me when i was there, sometimes it feels like lucy and charlie brown with the football. it's there, ready to kick it. it gets pulled away at the last second. that could happen again in texas. >> texas isn't alone in that feeling. mark, in some of the sienna times polling, one of the things we have talked a lot about this cycle is split ticket voters. what are your take aways as you look at the poll? >> obviously in this texas poll, chris, this is a margin of error race as you and ryan were just

discussing but what has probably ended up helping ted cruz and republicans is that the same poll shows that donald trump is ahead by 10 percentage points in the lone star state, and so, you know, there is a world in which allred might be able to float above and do a little bit better against ted cruz than what donald trump is able to do against kamala harris, but it can't be by that much more. and then, you know, chris, interestingly in that nebraska result, what is fascinating, you end up having a two-point spread between independent dan osborn, and incumbent senator deb fischer, but statewide it's a 15 point lead for donald trump over kamala harris 55-40. that is one worth watching. and again, i think most people who have been watching these races ultimately end up thinking that presidential ballot and turnout is the most important factor that there isn't a whole lot of split ticket voting. we're going to have to wait and

watch for those results come election day, election night, election week to find out the answer on which force is more powerful. >> everybody's stomach sinks when you say election week, but that is the reality. thanks, guys, appreciate you. crowds lined up to get into the madison square rally for president trump. 20,000 people, many of whom told me why they're choosing donald trump. why did you come here today? >> we support president trump, he's the only way we can get over the problems we have in this nation. >> reporter: what made you come out here today. >> a great opportunity to support donald trump. >> reporter: there's no doubt in your mind who you're voting for? >> get the message to the rest of america, wake up. >> trump is the guy, we need to protect our world for young people. it's not going that route. >> he supports us, small businesses, and we're small

businesses, and we really honestly need him. >> reporter: why did you feel it was worth flying all this way? >> because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. i'm 75 years old, so, you know, i may not get to see the next one. >> either way he's going to win so we're not overly concerned. >> he's going to win. >> obviously big trump rally, big trump supporters but we saw, arenas are getting packed. donald trump at msg in new york, and then on friday, of course, it was kamala harris at shell energy stadium in houston. the crowds are raucous, they're adoring, even confident. and the energy off the charts. >> what a warm texas welcome. i thank my friends for reminding us of exactly what we are fighting for in this campaign. we are fighting for freedom. >> i just want to say a very big hello to a special place, new

york, and to an incredible arena, madison square garden, incredible. >> beyond the polls, which we all know are within the margin of error, what are campaigns looking at to give them the best read on the state of the race, and what they can do in the closing days to win. matthew dowd is back with us. i'm interested in energy. you go into msg, the energy, frankly, was extremely high. it was long. more than five hours, but it seemed to build the closer you got to donald trump. but what if anything does that tell us. you also see that when kamala harris packs a big venue? >> chris, i think people -- you need to understand what's important in a big event is not actually what happens in a big event unless you make mistakes, like the trump world did in the

madison square garden, the press you get, what are people talking about. everything that people were talking about in the aftermath of the madison square garden event was the sort of racist, just outlandish, crazy, fascist stuff that was enunciated and talked about not only by the comedian but others. that's a problem. and most everything people talk about right now after a harris rally is positive, let's go do this. the other aspect is are you recruiting volunteers to have the energy and move on and work on a campaign, especially in those seven swing states in the aftermath of this. it's not what happens at the rally unless you make a mistake, and the madison square garden, they made a big mistake. >> it's going to be interesting to see how that plays out. i spoke with a grass roots organizer this morning who said the same thing jim messina has been saying, look at the numbers. cold hard numbers.

you predicted pole aggregators are going to shift their models to favor harris. what makes you think that? >> they're going to finally see what i have been seeing is this race has been very stable with a 2 or 3 point, 4 point harris lead, and we saw that in the abc poll that just came out, a four-point harris lead. a two polls came out, that's a 2 1/2 point lead. i think they're going to finally see the data and wade themselves through the junk gop polls. there have been 70-odd junk gop polls put in the mix in the last two or three weeks that have people gaming the system. unfortunately, many people are played by that, and they freak out or do whatever. i think those aggregators are going to realize, uh-oh, the numbers are showing something different than what we have been saying over the last two weeks. >> matthew dowd, always good to see you and talk to you. thanks, matt, appreciate it. coming up on "chris jansing

denied to americans. that's a totally false claim. they posted a false image using artificial intelligence that showed disney world allegedly flooded, which of course that did not happen, and then cuba and china also got into the act, and so you had china trying to allege without evidence that the federal government didn't have disaster relief money at the ready because all of the u.s. funds were being spent on helping ukraine or helping israel or taiwan, and cuba was sending similars messages. this is just the latest example of foreign adversaries trying to sow division in this country, and seize on false information that's already circulating and trying to amplify it on social media. >> and apparently having some success at it. dan de luce. always good to get your reporting. thank you for that. and that is going to do it for us this hour. make sure to join us for "chris jansing reports" every weekday, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern on
