good morning. 11:00 a.m. eastern. 8:00 a.m. pacific. i am josé diaz-balart.

we are one week away from decision day 2024. happening any minute, former president trump is set to speak at mar-a-lago. we will monitor his remarks and take you there if he takes questions from reporters. as of this morning, more than 48 million people have already casts their votes in this historic presidential contest. both candidates are out in full force as this final week of campaigning gets underway. in a few hours vice president harris will give what her campaign is calling her closing arguments, a speech at the ellipse at the national mall. campaign now saying it expect 40,000 people to attend. joining us now, nbc news correspondent, alison doerr, and darsha burns in allentown,

pennsylvania, nbc news correspondent, george solis. what do we expect to hear today? >> reporter: a pre-buttle to the harris address. they will focus on the closing message which is focused, they say, on the economy and immigration. they want to point out how harris has not been strong on those issues in their view, and it was supposed to be a final sprint kind of moment, however, of course, it's being overshadowed by those racist comments made at the madison square garden by the comedian that the trump campaign has sort of tried to distance themselves from. this is a press event, josé, but doesn't seem like it will be like a press conference where he

will take questions from the media. we certainly want to ask him about it. the question i have, if the reporters are not asking questions, will he address this issue and will he speak to the puerto rican voters in places like pennsylvania, josé? >> meanwhile, vice president harris is expected to make her closing argument tonight in washington. what can we expect? >> reporter: campaign officials say vice president harris is going to lay out what they see as a optimistic vision for the future and she will talk about abortion and her plans for health care and the economy. that's what campaign officials say but will do it on a symbolic stage here with the location being the backyard of the white house, and she will be standing exactly where former president trump stood on january 6th hours before and even during when his

supporters broke into the u.s. capitol on january 6th. she will talk about the danger of a second trump presidency saying he's unhinged and the second trump presidency would be worse than the first because he will be more unchecked. her campaign says she's tailoring this to the undecided voters maybe changing their minds on trump because of the events in the last few days, and you expect 20,000 to 40,000 people here, and the initial application said 20 and now they are up to 40, josé. >> and from allentown, how are those racist comments at the rally reverberating there? >> reporter: yeah, it's a mixed bag now from what we are hearing. obviously it's not being well received by many latinos and

many upset by the remarks at the comedian, and then you have the latino supporters with merchandise here setting up outside of the arena hours ahead of the former president's arrival, and saying this doesn't move the needle and we understand this was a comedian that made comments outside the president's speech, and nevertheless these voters are saying, look, we still stand by the president and are going to vote for him and this was not his remarks at msg, and as we are talking to people on the ground, the undecided voters, they are saying this is the nail in the coffin for them and definitely assuring them they will not vote for the former president. here's what one person told us earlier this morning, josé. >> it's helpful, you know, because i say that latino

people, they come here to work, you know, hard, you know, and, you know, like, i am going to say mexican people, too, and they come and do a lot of work and a lot of construction for us because if it was not because of them there would be no -- nothing here. >> reporter: josé, again, a lot of anger and it's so crucial for those undecided voters, and comments like this moving the needle. one interesting note, as i mentioned the people here still supporting former president trump that are latino saying some of their signage has been kicked and punched. we will keep an eye on that. >> darsha, what is the former president expecting to say in allentown? who is he going to be with? >> reporter: josé, this event was planned prior to the msg

rally and has taken on new relevance with the former president going to the minority area, a hispanic area after what happened at the rally. the campaign is telling me that the preprogram, the speakers going ahead of the president and the event in general is going to be heavy on puerto rican supporters. the shadow senator from puerto rico will be speaking, and rubio will be speaking, and this is an attempt to rally the supporters and try to stop the bleeding from the fallout from the remarks, josé. >> how is the harris campaign seizing on this? >> reporter: well, the harris campaign is really leaning into the statements and really saying this is an example of more of what they see as racism that is coursing through the trump

campaign. they also are doing paid media ads highlighting the statements. you have high-level campaign surrogates including obama talking about them. listen to what he had to say. >> these are fellow citizens he's talking about. here in philadelphia, they are your neighbors, they are your friends and they are your co-workers and their kids go to school with your kids. here's a good rule. if somebody does not respect you, if somebody does not see you as fellow citizens with equal claims to opportunity, to the pursuit of happiness, to the american dream, you should not vote for them. >> reporter: you should expect more and more of this sort of

statements, both from vice president harris, governor walz and campaign surrogates. they want to underscore these statements in their mind crystallize that donald trump is the wrong choice and people around him don't respect fellow americans, of course, and puerto ricans. they are hoping some people changing their minds because of the racist joke made by the comedian could make people change their minds and go towards vice president harris. josé? >> thank you so very much. be sure and tune in tonight for special coverage of vice president harris' speech at the eclipse beginning at 7:00 p.m. eastern, and 4:00 p.m. pacific here on msnbc. up next, first lady michelle obama will rally voters a day after trump called her nasty in

that same city. will she respond? the importance of team voters this year could decide the winner of the election. more fallout from the racist remarks from trump's rally in new york city on sunday. we're back in 90 seconds. you are watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪ han is 22 years old. he's not just a pet, he really is a part of our family. knowing that he's getting good nutrition, that's a huge relief for me and my dad.

eye on mar-a-lago as former president trump is expected to speak at any moment. we will bring you updates on that when it begins. today with only a week until the election, former first lady michelle obama is set to headline a rally in atlanta. early voting in georgia has started and is shattering all kinds of records. almost 3 million votes casts there already. 40% of all active voters. in 2020 president biden won george by just over 11,000 votes highlighting just how crucial each vote is in the battleground state. joining us now from atlanta is nbc white house correspondent, aaron gilchrist. aaron, good morning. what can we expect to see there today? >> reporter: we expect to see a long list of celebrities joining the former first lady tonight. the organization she founded in

2018 says the object is to celebrate first-time voters and to mobilize first-time voters. i don't think it's a mistake happening in georgia, a state that is so critical in the election cycle and a state, as you noted, we have already seen more than 3 million ballots, 3 million votes casts in the presidential race and all the other races they are casting their ballots on, and tonight we will see the former first lady headline the group of speakers here, and you are seeing on the screen some of the people that will speak and perform, rita wilson, and marseille martin, and these are people who have been outspoken in the effort to get people to understand the power of their vote and make sure they get out to vote as well. the first lady, we don't know what her comments will be tonight. this is her nonprofit and

nonpartisan organization she founded that will encourage people to get out and vote and i don't think we will hear them say anything about a particular candidate but will encourage people to exercise their vote. and she will be back on the campaign trail on saturday and she was with her in kalamazoo, michigan, over the weekend and she spoke to an audience that was hanging on her every word. she was giving a speech that was plain spoken and a rebuke of former president trump and some of his methodologies she spoke at length on in some of her comments. we will see what else she has to say on this coming saturday. i think michelle obama is seen as a closer. she hates politics and said she doesn't speak very often, but when she does, people tend to

listen. josé? >> thank you so much. the election could very well be decided in different small counties throughout our country and georgia, specifically, has one of the fastest growing one of the most diverse counties. representative, thank you for being with us. 23% of people in gannett county are latino. >> good seeing you. i have not seen you in a while. again, i think this county is crucial to the democratic party winning georgia, again, like we did almost four years ago. i think that the latino is engaged, and always i say the story when i read for the first

time in 2002, there were roughly close to 20,000 latino voters and now we have over 200,000 latino registered voters and that can swing an election one way or the other. >> and what are those 400,000 latino registered voters concerned about? we have to say there's no latino vote, just latino voters. what specifically do your constituents, your latino constituents have as their primary concerns? >> i think it's the kitchen table issues, you know, public safety and the economy and it's broad in the latino community, and immigration touches a nerve on our latino community.

it's not on top but it's on the first three or four issues that we are hearing from because immigration now hearing about what's going to happen if former president trump gets elected and project 2025 gets in place, you know, there's going to be lot of people will be divided in families, and households here in georgia and across the country have mixed families, so it will be critical to see what will happen. >> georgia is such a diverse state in so many ways. there's such a rich agricultural tradition in parts of georgia, and also the meat and poultry processing that employs so many people in different parts of georgia. i am just wondering, you know, and i was thinking about these comments made by this comedian

on sunday here at madison square garden, you know, when he -- i am not going to go into the whole -- but just the insults about puerto rico. what kind of impact do you think that's having? >> i have a press conference today at 2:30 from different puerto rican leaders in the state about what happened at madison square garden. it was very unfortunate that the trump campaign didn't vet, you know, everything that was going on within his rallies, and they let him, you know, speak freely in that rally, and especially new york, which is kind of the second home of puerto ricans. they have moved more after the

hurricane to orlando, florida, and here. at madison square garden, we can hear -- let me put it this way, you mess with one puerto rican, you mess with all puerto ricans. everybody is angry about what happened in new york a couple days ago. >> state representative, i have had the opportunity to over the years get to know you a little bit. >> yes, sir. >> i know you have a vocation of service and that you take this very seriously. i am just wondering, why do you think that our national discourse has gotten so ugly at times vulgar, at times focused on the darkness and not on the light. why do you think that is? >> i will say this time and time again, you know, historically when we elect a president, which is the highest elected office in

the country, we always hire governors, senators, people that has had public policy experience, and had that experience working with both sides of the aisle or senate or house of representatives. this is the first time when we elected donald trump that we elected a businessman, so he didn't have any public policy experience and he didn't know how to handle government, you know, and business is different in government, and i think when he brought that in -- i always explain something that, you know, his secretary of education when he appointed a secretary of education was a person that never had any education experience. so it was just a billionaire friend that he appointed her to that position. we have to have experience. we have to have what i say, you know, we have to make sure that

we know what we are talking about. again, you know, you have to have public policy experience. >> state representative, thank you very much for being us with this morning. appreciate your time. >> thank you. thank you very much. thank you. >> we see that there at mar-a-lago. former president trump is getting ready to give his comments and we are going to monitor what he has to say. ahead, vice president harris talking today, and we will talk about steve bannon getting out of prison and what he had to say after he was released. you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you'll have to pay a deductible for each. a medicare supplement plan pays for some or all of your original medicare deductibles, but they may have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. humana medicare

25 past the hour. former president donald trump is speaking at mar-a-lago. we will, of course, monitor what he has to say and bring you any news that comes out of it. we're also following other breaking news. early this morning trump ally, steve bannon, was released from federal prison in connecticut after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of congress. the former trump senior adviser was sentenced in 2022 for defying subpoenas from the january 6th committee investigating the deadly attack on the capitol and he was able to delay his sentence for nearly two years after he sought appeals. in an interview after his release, bannon told "the new york times," if you are not prepared to go to prison to

fight for your country you are not prepared to fight for your country. about eight hours from now, vice president harris will walk on to the ellipse and deliver her closing argument is how they are putting it. it will be in the same place trump spoke before the attack on the capitol. this as trump's rally on sunday is going viral for all the wrong reasons. nate silver has observed google searches spiked, and there were more people searching for the comedian that told the racist jokes on sunday's rally than for taylor swift. with us now, heidi heitkamp, and tim miller, former

communications for jeb bush, and a professor. how big of a political misstep was it to put this comedian onstage at madison square garden for the trump people? >> on one hand it was a really serious mistake and provided an opportunity for the harris campaign to drive a contrast with the key democratic group of voters, puerto rican voters. and trump in his stump speech, and it usually has radical policies and views but didn't say anything new. had the event just been trump at madison square garden, i think the coverage would have been positive. it was a mistake to put this guy onstage. i will say from the broadest perspective this comedian didn't

say anything different than what trump said. his joke was that puerto rico was an island of garbage, and trump said america is a garbage can for people all over the word and so it's the same message of running on nativism, and it was not a real separation from the campaign. >> yeah, but -- but -- they have had to, as you say, just play defense and, you know, it has been almost like a 24/7 coverage of this and the people that are feeling hurt, slighted, insulted by this are far more than just puerto ricans. i am thinking, tim, is it something they should, you think, kind of tackle head on? but how do you do that, when, as you say, the person at the top of the ticket is pretty much in, you know, similarity with these

comments in different versions? >> they can't take it back. donald trump, jr., the president's son was sending out tweets about how great that comedian was after the event was over, and j.d. vance was sending out tweets saying everybody should be not so offended about everything. a different campaign would handle this issue, but trump and vance will go to the mat with this type of message. >> meanwhile, nikki haley endorsed trump, but we went back to some haley voters to see how they felt in the final days of the election and here's what some had to say about the racist comments at this rally on sunday. >> that is so typical of what i

hear from them all the time and why, as a republican, i have become so upset because this is not the republican party that i know. >> i can't say that it would change my vote. i don't think there's anyplace for that in a political rally. i don't think there's a place for that anywhere. >> senator, these folks say they are still torn about who they will vote for. if they are still torn seven days before the election after this, are they just unreachable? >> well, they are reachable for kamala harris, i think. i think that, you know, when you close a campaign, the main rule is do no harm. guess what? he did harm on whether you agree with whether this was a joke or not. this is a huge opening for her to address those women you just heard that say i don't want donald trump anymore in my life.

i am tired of waking up and seeing this. i think it would be a mistake to continue to call it racist remarks. i think that the former president who talked about this as disrespectful is on the right track. if i were kamala harris today, i would come out and talk about the economic contributions that hispanic people have made in this country, how hard they work and how it is just so inappropriate to not recognize their hard work and not recognize what they contribute to all of us and that she will never disrespect a whole group of people. i think that's really the message she should deliver today. anybody that tells you that this won't have any affect, i think they are wrong. i would point to rick scott, rick scott who is in a semi tight race in florida, and i don't think a lot of people think that he's in grave danger, but i will tell you he was quick on the mark to say those don't

reflect me, it's inappropriate. if trump doesn't address it today, it will be a big mistake, i think, for his campaign. >> eddie, turning to the vice president's speech on the ellipse tonight, you know, optics and messaging is so important. what do you see as a symbolism and the symbolism of her choosing the ellipse when seven days from an election the final message is one that they are trying to set in everybody's mind? >> well, first of all, it's good to see you, josé. i think you have to bring to the top of mind the insurrection and the threat and challenge to democracy that donald trump and his supporters present. to make that top of mind by being at the ellipse. i think this is really important. then i think you transition from that to the conversation around freedoms, you know, the freedom to choose and the freedom for the right to vote and the like.

i think this is a perfect kind of staging to bring home the argument in so many ways. i also think she has to make the case that freedom isn't just simply about a freedom to choose, but freedom also entails responsibility. we have the responsibility to make a choice in this moment. we don't need to deodorize what trump did, and i think we need to be clear that he's appealing to the low propensity white voters to turnout and he's giving them the red meat. we need to understand what is the engine and motivation of trumpism and how he's been able to do what he's done. by having the speech at the ellipse, insurrection top of mind, freedom top of mind and freedom entails responsibility and we have to make a choice at this moment come november 5th.

>> just curious, how do you explain how things are so close seven days from an election? >> you know, that's -- you know, josé, that bothers me deeply. it let's us know how deeply divided we are as a country. it reminds me, at least, of the ghosts that haunt this place, that the tragic choice from the very inception of the country that led to the civil war that left over 600,000 people dead on the battlefield, at the unresolved efforts that genuinely building a multiracial democracy in the mid-20th century, that all of these issues still obtain that there's a barnicled under belly, right, that defines our lives. i think it's close because there's this tragic through line of american life. here we are once again, josé,

faced with the choice of what kind of country we will be. >> senator, tim miller and eddie, thank you all for being with me this morning. appreciate it. up next, we go live to capitol hill to break down the most consequential senate races this year. can democratic senator sherrod brown keep his seat as the state gets more red every year? you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. wow. the mother of all cleans. love it or your money back!

40 past the hour. former president trump continues to speak at his mar-a-lago resort, speaking about all kinds of issues including immigration, and, of course, we are monitoring what he's saying and will bring any developments from that meeting. one week from today, all eyes are fixed on the presidential election, and the balance of power in congress will be on the line. all house seats and 34 senate seats up for election and the race in ohio could be pivotal in determining which party controls the senate. sherrod brown is trying to hold off a challenge from bernie moreno. joining us is ali vitali. what you have heard from voters there? >> reporter: josé, if you look around me you could be forgiven for thinking it's election day, because the line here at the only early voting location has

been around the block for the entire time we have been here this morning. in my conversations with voters, a lot are coming out because of the economy and voter rights, and we have seen senator sherrod brown survive in the red pro trump state in 2018, and in my conversations with voters today, the key ticket splitters that sherrod brown would need have been few and far in between and instead i have been having a lot of conversations like these. watch. >> i hope so. we just -- we need good candidates, and i don't think that donald trump or bernie marino are good candidates. >> i voted for marino.

i like trump, and i say value-wise, the republican more line up with my values. >> reporter: josé, the expectation is, of course, ohio would remain in the trump column, and for moreno that could unseat brown. one woman voted for trump at the top of the ticket and did vote for brown, and so the voters are there even if we are not finding them in large numbers here. >> thank you so much. joining us now, jake sherman, cofounder of bunch bowl news and an msnbc contributor. great to see you. starting off of ali's reporting in ohio, you are starting off the ground there. >> she brings up the critical vote, and donald trump is going to win ohio by 6 to 12 points so you will need a whole lot of people who are going to pull the

lever, so to speak, for donald trump and also for sherrod brown. this is why it's so puzzling and an enigma to reporters and aides, and sherrod brown has cultivated in the senate and in the house a strong brand and a brand that crosses party lines. listen, this race only recently tightened up. does that mean republicans are coming home and are going to vote for trump and marino? that could be the case, but there needs to be a lot of ticket splitters for brown to win. >> and a poll indicates the race is neck and neck between independent dan osborn and deb fischer. how critical is that seat? >> not critical, josé, but let's put it in context. the republicans are going to take the senate majority, and they have underperformed their

expectations, and they had an open seat in arizona and a chance at a democratic seat in nevada, and they are not sure to win those seats, and dan osborn is an independent and said he will not caucus with either party. if deb fischer loses, that's one fewer republican they need to have the majority theoretically, and that's one more republican in the senate for the republicans and that would be a disaster for the next senate leader, and the people we talk to think she pulls it out at the end of the day. there are people that say she has not run a good campaign, and omaha, the biggest city in the state will vote for kamala harris almost certainly, and this has been a befuddling race to a lot of republicans in the last few weeks. >> this morning you wrote about the close race for bob case in

pennsylvania? >> yeah, casey against dave mccormick in a race that is tightening. his father was the governor of the state and he, again, like sherrod brown, defied any kind of label for the last several elections and has won comfortably, but this is a state, as we all know, that will be key in the presidential race and is incredibly close going down to the wire. >> jake sherman, always a pleasure, my friend. thank you. up next, it has been 100 days since president joe biden dropped out of the race and it's seven days until the election day, and we will speak to democratic congressman, jim clyburn. we will chat in just a minute. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. c. .

she has run a very good operation. i think we will succeed. >> when you talk about the situation such as the situation we had 100 days ago, i'm curious, have you spoken with the president in these last 100 days? how is he doing? how does he see things? >> sure. i've spoke with the president several times in the last 100 days. i think things are going very well with him. joe biden is one of the most patriotic people you will ever meet. i got to know him very well doing things that run in concert with south carolina and delaware. a lot of people don't know the similarities between our two states. that's how we got to know each

other. brown v. board of education, both south carolina and delaware figured prominently in that case. that's the basis of our relationship. i will tell you this, as kind and gentle as he is, he has a spine of steel. i've been saying to people who seem to be so worried about what may or may not happen when we get to this election after november 5th if he were to lose, i'm not worried about that at all. joe biden will not tolerate the foolishness that trump has perpetrated before. kamala harris as vice president will reside over the senate when that transition takes place. i think we are in a very good place. just win the election. worry about those other things later. >> i mean, the president hasn't

been doing a lot of comparing. former president obama and former first lady michelle obama have. what impact do you think they're having? >> a very positive impact. michelle obama -- i thought her speech the other night as well as her speech at the democratic convention were two of the highlights of my political career. i have seen a lot and heard a lot of speeches. i do believe she has captured the moment in both those instances in a way that few people can. of course, barack obama is one of the best connectors to audiences. he has done very, very well. all of the democrats who have been out there have done very well.
