they have reviewed donald trump's plan and have determined that he will weaken america's economy, ignite inflation, and bring on a recession by the middle of next year. >> with just a few days left to make their case to a relatively small group of voters in a handful of swing states that will decide the outcome of this election, two candidate scheduled to make multiple stops and places they will nearly caught cross paths with one another. that happened last night when harris and trump had dueling rally six miles apart in milwaukee. they even took the stage at nearly the same time. the tone of their rallies were very different. >> if she can't handle an interview, then she can't handle it certainly president xi of china, president putin would have never had done it, she's not equipped for that, she's not a president. she will get overwhelmed, meltdown, and millions of people will die. >> in this election, we have an

opportunity to finally turn the page on a decade of donald trump trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other. we are done with it. we are exhausted with it. we are turning the page. >> as of this morning, nearly 68 million ballots have already been cast by people who have taken part in early in-person and mail in voting across the country, a remarkable number. while yesterday was the final day of early in-person voting like the swing states of arizona, georgia, nevada, that offer is still available in a number of states this weekend for people who want to avoid the lines or cannot take time off work on election day. with the presidential race expected to be another close one this year, will come down to which campaign has the better ground game operation, and that could be an advantage for trump and the republicans. harris's entrance into the race

was followed by a major infusion of money to me which has helped her build a robust team on the ground in many states, according to nine republican operatives and canvassers to home nbc news recently spoke, there are serious concerns that the trump campaign's ground game, led by elon musk's america pact is lacking in key swing states, one author has said quote, all hell has broken loose. joining me now, nbc correspondent don hilliard, touring with trump in north carolina, two steps stops i believe, one in north carolina and in between. what is going on? >> right, out of all the north carolina stuff, not only is he here tomorrow, he is here today. north carolina, when looking at the map, it is about a ground state won in 2016 and 2020. he all but has to hold on to north carolina. we could be looking at the electoral mapping, across the battleground, around the 270 electoral votes, it is important.

he's also making a stop in virginia, much like new mexico and the stock two days ago, a questionable stop. it is a likely blue state that has gone toward democrats several tackles in a row. donald trump is basically expanding the map build a coalition of independent. he's trying to turn them into trump voters here. that is where you are seeing him with the likes of robert f. kennedy junior, including in milwaukee, wisconsin and phoenix, arizona. he's trying to expand upon what this vision of maga looks like to incorporate a greater share of the election, and he believes that will be his pathway over the next three days to get enough voters to win a couple of these battleground states. >> north carolina is interesting. ever since the misfortunate fall on the republican

candidate for governor and lieutenant governor, josh stein, lieutenant governor, is running way ahead and shows some unlikelihood of winning. there's that same spread between trump and harris in north carolina. i am curious. in some states, we are looking at whether the presidential candidate raises all votes in the case of north carolina, looking at whether people will go out and cast a ballot for josh stein will also cast a ballot for kamala harris, or will cast a ballot for a democratic governor, and republican presidential candidate. >> exactly. let's be clear here, only, we have not seen a campaign from mark robinson in a couple of months now. he has all but separated himself from a group of gubernatorial candidacy. we also heard from him two nights ago, his last campaign stop out west in arizona for the rest of this trail. he even appeared alongside kari lake. in 2022, you try to lift up those down ballot candidates

during those midterm races, using his name to show the extent to which his endorsement, and his ability to help these candidates with the able to turn into electoral victories. of course, that is not what happened in 2022. you have largely seen from michigan to wisconsin, give his support to those down ballot candidates for governor and senate. it is not an overt, carrying back to the finish line. that is where you see him throwing mark robinson off a cliff. two weeks ago, he was here after hurricane helene with the storm damage, and was not up-to- date on what mark robinson's campaign was doing here. for donald trump, his old focus is getting to that to a 70, really relying on the senate house candidates to give him the majority of the congress, which of course will be just as important to him to push through his legislative agenda in 2025.

>> you and i travel a lot. there's always a debate about whether or not you sit in the aisle seat. i don't know what kind of deal you made with the people next to you, you seem to be controlling the whole operation. nice to see you, buddy. >> this is called, hanging out on the tarmac and not able to get off. >> thank you, don hilliard somewhere for us in an airplane. let's bring in von bennett winkler, chairman in wisconsin. good to see you. i need to talk to you and people like you this weekend. while you understand politics at a state and national level, one thing you always tell me is what is going on on the ground. wisconsin is one of three boom blue wall states. chemic harassments michigan, pennsylvania, that is the whole ballgame. tell me what is going on on the ground. the game has tightened a little bit. >> this is a tossup election. if you look at the polls, if you look at the models, on the

ground, it feels like the wind is at the democrats' backs. the labor temple in wisconsin, not the bluest of blue areas in our state, yet, there were dozens of people here for 9:00 a.m. canvas kickoff with their local house candidate. what is happening over and over is that , people who are in some cases canvassing the first time are going out and finding people who have voted for trump in the past and are voting for harris now. thousands of volunteers will be on the ground throughout this weekend. we have not done nearly 1 million doors over the last two weeks in wisconsin and we will load the roof off our record in these final four days. we don't see an equivalent operation on the republican side. i just heard another story this morning, american pact canvassers, people hired by elon musk, telling people at the door that they don't care who they vote for, they personally will vote for harris, that this is a job to talk to people about donald

trump. >> in fact, i was talking to john ralston the other night in nevada. he was saying the same thing, elon musk, you may think he has got lots of strengths, ground game political operations are long, their efforts are built over years, if not decades. you've got one in wisconsin. they had one in nevada. elon musk has not necessarily mastered this particular thing. a lot of money goes into it, but money is not necessarily the thing that builds the ground game. >> that is exactly right. i think you will see as much activity on the ground from elon musk's suffering as we will see optimist robots knocking on doors. be prepared at this point. i think the trump campaign has made a strategic mistake. they decided they would focus on so- called election integrity, rejecting a legitimate balance, making sure people that support trump actually get to the polls. on the democratic side to me still both persuasion and mobilization, people want to vote for harris that need that extra nudge and a reminder

about what i did to bring to the polls when they cast their ballot. that can make a huge difference at the margin at the final stretch. i give us the edge of the ground game in wisconsin and every other battleground state i have heard about . >> this is important when you talk about a ground game. there is some degree of persuasion still to be had. i was just talking to keith ellison about this. i was talking to michael beschloss and bernie sanders the last hour. you have a lot of noncommitted voters in the primary, which you and i both agree with a remarkable participation in democracy. the idea that you go out, say i am involved in the political process, i am dissatisfied with you. you and i talked about this a couple of months ago and said, there is work to be done. has enough work been done that uncommitted voters pose a threat to kamala here is winning in wisconsin? >> is a tossup election, any factor can make the difference. i think the key thing is what harris has been saying. this goes to uncommitted voters, people who voted nikki

haley in the primary. listen, you can disagree with me . i will not see you at the enemy, i will give you a seat at the table. she said that last night, a population 2000 where we have thousands lining up to see her and roaring in approval. for people that disagree with her about policy, foreign policy, domestic policy, they know they will not be treated as the enemy within. they know, she will not try to send in u.s. troops to crush. that is what donald trump is promising. she will have an administration that will listen to different people. she has a cease-fire for hostages to mom me a future with resolution, peace, for israelis and palestinians alike . and she thinks the republicans, you may disagree with me a lot, but we can agree on the constitution. i want to make sure we are honoring it. a message that builds a big ten. abington is what could win wisconsin and this whole presidential election. >> take you for joining us, been winkler is the chair for

the democratic party in wisconsin. still ahead, the 2024 residential election will be decided in two swing states. we will take a look at the two most critical in north carolina and pennsylvania. first, i will speak with raja krishnamorthi from illinois on the dangers, including this final comment leveled against congresswoman-- congressman krishnamorthi's former colleague, liz cheney just last week. >> she's a radical warthog. let's put her with a rifle standing with nine barrels shooting at her. let's see how she feels about it when the guns are trained at her face. her face.

cheney. in fact, the attorney general of arizona is actually investigating this as a possible crime. there are others who are saying, that is donald trump being donald trump. he talked about guns being trained on liz cheney who has emigrated as an opponent for a long time. it is a part of a pattern of violent discussion that donald trump has. >> that is right. as someone who survived two assassination attempts, you would think he would know better. what we know is three things about this, one is that violent rhetoric, secondly, i think it continues to clog our society now at a time where we have to come together. i was in line the other day to early vote, ali, and some people greeted me, other people basically,-- one person looked at me and said, i hate you. i have not heard that type of venom in a long time. the third is, i think that this was yet another example of his

misogyny. he does not like it when strong women speak up against him, liz cheney is one of them. kamala harris is another. this type of rhetoric, i guess, fits a pattern of violently kind of talking about women. and again, i think it drives the gender gap, among other things. >> at a rally yesterday afternoon, donald trump said, his closing message to american voters was that vice president harris hates america and you can't be a president if you hate the american people. i will say, listening to her campaign, and listening to his campaign, his is filled with vitriol, and what seems to be hate and racism that pops up every now and then, identifying particular groups, the haitians, cats and dogs, the comment at his rally about puerto ricans. and kamala harris is talking about, together we can, that we don't have to have this future, that we can have the freedom to

move together and do things. he has turned this thing upside down that seems like a poor, closing argument, but clearly, he does this because it works for him. >> i personally think we can win through addition, multiplication, not subtraction and division. i think emmett harris's approach in the coming days makes a lot of sense. what i think will likely happen is a lot of those republican women, and we talk about those shy kamala voters, i think they will be reinforced in their belief that they have to support kamala harris. i think a lot of republican men will do the same thing. in any case, i personally believe that his type of rhetoric, his type of approach is not only counterproductive and dangerous, but it is something that we as a country have to condemn, and hopefully toss on the waste bin after this election. >> senator ron, congressman requested that the attorney

general investigate whether donald trump's son-in-law, jerry cushman, was operating as a foreign agent for saudi arabia , according to lawmakers. this whole issue of saudi arabia investing $2 billion in jared kushner's private equity fund, despite the fact that john kushner at the time had no experience, and the board governing the x said that was not right. in a statement, jared kushner has said, there was no conflict of interest and called it a silly, political stunt and many the level that they are chambers deserve. i don't know if i share that view. this is not only a powerful guy, a powerful god that could have more power if donald trump is elected. >> you are exactly right. no one was investing in jared kushner's fund is an excellent investor returns. by the way, you and i spoke about this years ago, when he sought security clearances, and he was

desperate for cash and ended up getting a bail out essentially from the saudis, the question, what are they getting in return? i think that perhaps one of the things they are seeking in return is for him to help influence foreign policy. if that is the case, that is a classic situation of someone being paid by a foreign government to represent them, to advocate for them, that would be a foreign agent. i think it is appropriate that senator and my colleague asked the doj to investigate. >> good to see you, thank you for joining us this morning. democratic congressman raja krishnamorthi of illinois. still ahead, the coronavirus pandemic with a leadership qualification test for former president donald trump, he failed and thousands of americans died. if you have any idea on how donald trump would defend another crisis, just believe him the first time. time.

i'd like to point you to a press release from the trump

administration's office of science and administration policy. the title reads, trump administration releases science and administration accomplishments from first-term . the highlights include, ending the covid-19 pandemic. this press release went out on october 27th, 2020 four years ago this week. may i remind you, the pandemic had not ended at that point. it was not remotely close to ending. that very week, the u.s. reported more than 489,000 new cases, a new record at the time, and 800 americans were dying every day. this nonsense pretty much encapsulates the gas lighting, delusion, and misinformation that contributed to donald trump's mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic, arguably the biggest challenge and failure of his presidency. what happens if trump is reelected and he is hit with another public health challenge of this magnitude? there's absolutely no need to guess. all you have to do is look back

at how he handled it the first time. right out of the gate, then president trump and his administration failed to adequately acknowledge the existence of the virus and the potential to spread. january 22nd, 2020, the centers for disease control confirmed the first case of coronavirus in the united states. trump told cnbc quote, we've got it totally under control. it is one person coming in from china, and we have it under control, it is just going to be fine. this would be the start of donald trump explicitly downplaying the virus. over the next two months, cases would continue to rise in the united states and trump's attitude was, it will just go away. here is what he told the american people february 27th, 2020. >> it is going to disappear. one day, it is like a miracle, it will disappear. it could get worse before it gets better, maybe go away, we will see what happens. nobody really knows. >> two days later, february

29th, 2020, the cdc reported the first known to death in america. we all remember the next two. it was a world wind. on march 11th, the world health organization declared the coronavirus a public health pandemic. march 15th u.s. declared a state of emergency. the states implement it a shutout to try to avoid the spread of a coronavirus. this is also around the time when donald trump again falsely comparing the coronavirus to the seasonal flu, once again downplaying the severity of covid. this happened march 24th, 2020. >> we lose thousands of people a year to the flu. we never turned the country off. we lose much more than that to automobile accidents. we did not call up the automobile company and say, stop making cars, we don't want any cars anymore. >> on april 3rd, 2020, the cdc made its official recommendation that people wear masks in public to help stop the spread. trump said, no, not really my

style. this is what he said april 3rd, 2020. >> it is voluntary, you don't have to do it. they suggested for a period of time, but this is voluntary. i don't think i am going to be doing it. with the masks, it is going to be really a voluntary thing. you can do it, you don't have to do it. i am choosing not to do it. >> again, april 2020, donald trump did not wear a mask in public until july, and even then reluctantly and on occasion . initially, covid testing was the united states's big issue. trump, along with the cdc struggle to rollout a testing strategy. during the first few weeks, covid test kits were malfunctioning in labs across the country and it turned out, there was not exactly a plan to get diagnostic test out to the states, nor did federal officials ensure that there would be enough supplies. commercial labs eventually got involved. by that time, the

demand for test were so high, the backlogs persisted for weeks . trump's failure to scale up testing in the united states would hamper the efforts to contain the virus for months to come. we just found out through reporting by bob woodward that during this time, when americans were desperate for the contest, trump was secretly sending covid testing machines to rush's vladimir putin for his personal use. eventually, merrick's covid testing operation at the moment, but then, according to donald trump, the reason america had so many covid cases it because our testing capacity was too good. here is what he said in may and june of 2020. >> we have more cases because we do the greatest testing. if we did not do testing, we would have no cases. i don't look at that like a bad thing, i look at that in certain respect as being a good thing. it means, our testing is much better. if we were testing 1 million people, instead of 14

million people, we would have far fewer cases. right? so, i view it as a badge of honor. really, it is a badge of honor. >> a badge of honor. days after he declared a lot of covid cases to be a badge of honor in june of 2020, the u.s. recorded 100,000 covid deaths. then, there was medical misinformation , which spread almost as fast as the virus itself, thanks in part to donald trump. he took to twitter, to the campaign trail, the white house briefing room to push unfilled remedies like hydroxy chlorophyll a drug found to have no effectiveness against the virus. and then, there was whatever this was. >> with a tremendous, whether it is ultraviolet, or just very powerful light, and i think said , you're going to test it, and supposedly, you put the light inside the body, which you can

do, either through the skin or in some other way. i think you said, you would test that too, sounds interesting. and then, i see the disinfectant that not it out in a minute, one minute. is there a way we can do something like that, by injection into side, or almost a cleaning? it gets in the lungs. it would be interesting to check that. you will have to use medical doctors. it sounds interesting to me. >> it is nice that he mentioned that if maybe you could use medical doctors before you inject yourself with bleach were very strong light. this was a very unserious man leading the country at a deadly serious time. let's remember, this was all playing out in 2020, an election year, and donald trump refused to let a silly little virus him from campaigning in-person. he continued to hold in-person rallies, an and water. many of

those turned into super spreader events, according to a study by stanford, 700 people died as a result of attending those rallies. in october 2020, trump himself tested positive for coronavirus and was admitted to walter reed medical center. you would think this would be a wake-up call for trump, but you would be wrong. after fewer than three days in the hospital, trump got into an suv, mask on, windows up, with two members of the secret service to waive to support is on the perimeter of walter reed, a fragrant disregard for precautions and health and safety of his secret service. trump now takes credit for the eventual rollout of the covid- 19 vaccine, even claimed in a december 2021 interview that he quote, came up with the vaccine with three vaccines, all very, very good,". talk about fudging a resume. early on, trump was unwilling

to put his full endorsement behind a vaccine and fully opposed vaccine mandates, turning many of his supporters into vexing skeptics. just this week trump started publicly toying with the idea of giving a permanent health policy road to rfk junior, a well-known skeptic to the covid vaccine and of other crucial immunizations. trump said, i and i quote, you can do anything he wants. he wants to look at the vaccines, he wants everything, i think it is great, and quote. according to nbc news, rfk junior may be poised to play a key health world in the next administration, focusing on childhood chronic disease. donald trump spent all of 2020, playing down a pandemic that would go on to kill more than 1 million americans. he told you, it was no big deal, that it would disappear, that social distancing was not necessary and that masks were a nuisance. that was all a lie, and he knew it. he admitted to the journalist, bob woodward, as early as

february 7th, 2020, that the coronavirus was in fact serious. >> it is also more deadly than your strenuous blue. i wanted to always play it down, i still like playing it down, because i don't want to create a panic. >> so, if you are wondering how donald trump would handle another deadly pandemic, simply believe him the first time. tim try cascade platinum plus. for sparkling clean dishes even on the toughest jobs. just scrape, load and you're done. switch to cascade platinum plus.

my colleague and friend, rachel maddow has been covering the fight for abortion rights on this network for 16 years. she was among the very few journalists in this country paying close attention to this issue in the 2010, when republicans seized control of statehouses across the country and wrapped up efforts to chip away at the rights guaranteed at the time by roe v. wade. when the abortion doctor, george tiller, was assassinated in church by an antiabortion extremist in 2009, rachel continued to follow the trend of threatened violence against abortion providers across the country. when roe v. wade turned 40 in 2013, herschel visited abortion clinics in five embattled states, where abortion had already nearly been eliminated by hostile state legislators and by violence. in 2019, when donald trump's reshaping of the supreme court was nearly complete, she presented a special hour, including original reporting and crucial historical context about the imminent threat facing abortion rights nationwide. here is a look at a

piece from that special hour. again, this is from 2019. donald trump was president, two of his three supreme court appointees had taken their seats. >> when justice harry blackmun wrote the supreme court decision that gave women in all 50 states access to legal abortion, he knew it was a landmark ruling. even though he was writing for a seven member majority on that court, he knew it might not stand forever. >> do you think that roe versus wade stands the chance of being overturned? >> in any case, it only stands the chance of being overturned. i can't forecast that one way or another. it may very well be overruled. that will depend primarily on the personnel of the court. >> it will depend on the personnel of the court. you might have noticed, there has been some turnover in the personnel of the court lately with donald trump's two pigs, neil gorsuch, and brett

kavanaugh. there is not a conservative antiabortion majority on the court. because of that, merrick's abortion providers have been planning for a post-roe world, thinking and talking mostly among themselves about which states would be first to ban abortion, and how they might develop ways to get women on the states to what they are calling haven states, to where abortion will remain legal. if roe were overturned by the court tomorrow, these are the states that would have laws in place to ban abortion right away. if 26 get turned over to the court, legal abortion could be gone and all of the states basically immediately. that suddenly things possible. >> that nightmare scenario that suddenly seemed possible in 2019 happened a few years after that broadcast. now, we are living through the consequences . three days from now, we will find out what the american electorate makes of what donald

trump's of record has been to women in this country. the end of roe has brought with it a wave of cruelty in the united states, laws that have women bleeding, suffering, begging from health, and sometimes dying after being denied or delayed healthcare. it is one of the few election issues that has changed so drastically in such a short amount of time, the power to motivate voters has not been tested. tomorrow, rachel maddow will join me with a special analysis on the truth in politics abortion rights in america, drawing on her long history and expertise on the subject. you don't want to miss it, tomorrow, 10:00 a.m. eastern. m. eastern. ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after trying a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq works differently. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness,

both vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump are holding rallies in north carolina, states they are increasingly hopeful they can win, despite it only going blue since 1996 for barack obama in 2008. more than 3.8 million people have taken part in early, in- person voting, more than half of the eligible voters in north carolina. that number surpasses the early voting record set back in 2020. our intrepid nbc news team is following it all from all corners of the state. dosha burns is in greensboro, where trump is having a rally tonight and gabe gutierrez is in charlottesville ahead of the harris rally. that morning and thank you for

being with us. gabe, let me start with you. what is the situation you are looking at there in north carolina? >> hi there, ali, free election weekend, my friend. we are here in charlotte, where as you mentioned, vice president kamala harris is scheduled to arrive later today. she has two rallies today in southern battlegrounds, the first one in atlanta and then she is coming to charlotte. as you mentioned, this is a crucial swing state. earlier today, she started her travels in wisconsin, speaking to reporters and making the case that she will work with the private sector on day one, really advancing that argument, trying to reach moderate voters who may be upset with donald trump, moderate republican voters and it is a message she has been hitting over and over again in the closing days of the race. take a listen at what she told a rally last night in wisconsin. >> this election, we have an opportunity to finally turn the

page on a decade of donald trump trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other. we are done with it. we are exhausted with it. we are turning the page. we know who donald trump is. this is not someone who is thinking about how to make your life better, this is someone who is increasingly unstable, obsessed with revenge. he is consumed with grievance, and the man is out for unchecked power. >> again, ali, making that case that moderate republican voters to turn the page on donald trump. this morning, she was also asked about what she would do on day one of her administration? she said, something she is often said before, work to bring down costs, also to work with republicans. she also criticized speaker

mike johnson for, in her words, trying to repeal the c.h.i.p. act. and speakers often has walked back those comments, saying he does not want to appeal it, thinking was to improve it, but suddenly certainly, with the vice president harris reaching out for voters in those key swing states. >> the congressman sitting next to him saying, we are not repealing that, we actually like that. dosha burns, interesting situation in north carolina. the polling for the north carolina-- north carolina elects democrats at a statewide level on a regular basis here at the polling for lieutenant governor, running for governor, has collapsed. and it does look like the democratic gubernatorial candidate, attorney general josh stein is said to do very well and possibly win. he is pulling better than kamala harris there. donald trump has entirely dispensed himself from the gubernatorial edited in north carolina. >> reporter: that is exactly right. he has kept him fully at

arms length. kept here tonight, mark robinson is not on the speakers list. he will not be there. he has not been at any of his north carolina rallies. you can see the trumpet supporters lining up behind me here. this also though, ali, is an early voting site, and today is the last day to vote early here in north carolina. you mentioned that the state is breaking records when it comes to early voting. republicans are slightly outpacing democrat when it comes to the early vote, something the trump campaign has been pointing to as a good sign for them, although we will not know until election day. also, in western north carolina, ali, where hurricane helene really hit those communities hard, the turnout they are with early vote has been brisk and significant. that is something the truck trump campaign has been focused on trying to get voters to turn out with you. now, he is rallying here tonight. he's also rallying earlier today in gastonia, north carolina, and then he is back

here again tomorrow. this goes to show you how hard they are fighting for this state, that as you said, has not been blue since 2008, but is very much in play this time around. that is why you see both of these candidates really duking it out here, ali. >> thank you for that, dosha. also joining our conversation now, antonio hilton in raleigh north carolina. another place we are looking at leslie, the raleigh area is probably going to be blue. we are looking at what happens in the suburbs around raleigh. what you say to that now? >> reporter: that is right, ali. we are at one of voting locations, many are voters that the harris campaign really needs to make sure our feeling inspired and getting out there, because as dosha just mentioned, so far, republicans are running ahead of democrats in early voting, which is not normal here. they are wondering if they will see democrats outpace republicans on tuesday, but that would be a major department departure from

history. the harris campaign has canvassers and people going door to door trying to get people out and to talk to voters who in the state are still undecided. this is a state with a large population of people who identify as unaffiliated, ali. those are voters who often split ticket, not necessarily devoted to any party. both sides have been aggressively going after them in such a tight, tight race. another thing that has made this an interesting election, i have two people here, a lot of them have anxious about this level of misinformation confusion, some of it coming out of hurricane helene, fierce act of access to the polls, fears about the federal government's treatment of those in north carolina, much of it completely unfounded, and lies about not citizen voting with belief that migrants have come to north carolina starting to register to vote in droves, something that is not true, not in the data, and would be incredibly challenging to do because north

carolina has a new voter i.d. law on the books. all of these changes and anxieties are coming to a head here and people are fighting this out. democrats say the fact that trump is spending so much time here, as a positive sign, ali. >> voters tuesday night will be looking at michigan, pennsylvania, the blue wall. if harris gets that, it is all gravy, if she does not, everybody will be laser focused on north carolina. that, along with georgia, arizona, nevada, places like that, a really important one, because it is such a boat rich date. thanks to all of you, excellent reporting. coming up next, we head to the state where kamala harris and donald trump will spend the eve of the election, pennsylvania. i will be speaking with democratic state representative malcolm kenya, who represents philadelphia, the city at the center of this swing state. ng san francisco's leadership is failing us.

that's why mark farrell is endorsing prop d. because we need to tackle our drug and homelessness crisis just like mark did as our interim mayor. mark farrell endorsing prop d, to bring the changes we need for the city we love.

san francisco's leadership is failing us. that's why mark farrell is endorsing prop d. because we need to tackle our drug and homelessness crisis just like mark did as our interim mayor. mark farrell endorsing prop d, to bring the changes we need for the city we love. all weekend, the candidates, their running mates, their surrogates are campaigning across the country ahead of the election. hillary clinton, who hope to break the glass ceiling in 2020 spoke at a campaign rally for kamala harris in tampa, florida. here are some of her remarks.

>> whenever i see the nominee for the other party, it is almost hard to believe. >> amen! >> while he is up there dancing to "ymca," or talking about hannibal lector, serious, serious issues are facing women in this state and across our country. we have four verified deaths from the failure to provide necessary healthcare to two women in georgia, now two women in texas, who were suffering from miscarriages when they showed up at their local hospitals, and were denied care

. and we are seeing women who are forced to carry their stillborn babies to term. we now know 64,000 rape victims in the united states have been forced to give birth to their rapists' babies. that is the trump/desantis plan for women's health. both candidates will be spending time in the swing state of pennsylvania. donald trump will hit several cities on monday including reading, and pittsburgh, pennsylvania. vice president kamala harris will also be in pittsburgh as well in allentown. she will make her final pitch to the american people with a rally and concert in front of the philadelphia museum of art. their focus on pennsylvania is not a coincidence. the state's electoral votes, potentially the entire election could come down to voters in pittsburgh, philadelphia, and

the counties right outside of philadelphia. the democratic residential candidates have carried philadelphia in recent history. barack obama got over 85% of the vote in philadelphia in 2008 , sorry, over mitt romney in 2012. hillary clinton got 83% of the vote in 2016, joe biden beat trump in philadelphia with 81% of the vote in 2020. joining me now is an expert on all things philadelphia, democratic state representative malcolm kenyatta, who represents philadelphia. malcolm, good to see you, thanks for being with us. i want to pick up on what hillary clinton was saying in tampa. abortion and reproductive rights might be one of the biggest motivators, not just for people in general, but for a lot of women in pennsylvania. donald trump spoke to supporters in green bay, wisconsin earlier this week about being a protector of women, whether they like it or not. let's listen to what he had to say. >> i want to protect the women of our country.

sir, i just think it is inappropriate for you to say. i said, well, i'm going to do it, whether the women like it or not. >> is sort of speaks to how donald trump about women, whether they like it or not. talk to me about women in your state who are concerned about reproductive rights being protected by donald trump. aide >> well, the women of pennsylvania will make sure donald trump never becomes president again, whether he likes it or not. here, in pennsylvania, i am telling you this, ali, kamala harris is going to win, and she is going to win, because she spends every single day talking about the things that people actually care about, talking about creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, who have the idea to actually start their business, talking about putting people in their first home by helping with down payment assistance, talking about helping folks who are caring

for their kids with $6000 in the first year of their life, as well as people might be taking care of elderly or sick parents, allowing medicare to cover in-home care. she has laid out a series agenda. donald trump, or the other hand, has two different modes in the final days of this campaign. he has the version of himself that is unhinged, radical extremist, calling for the death of his political opponents, saying, they should put them in front of the firing squad, as he said about liz cheney, or he is glitching out randomly in pennsylvania, swaying on stage, or minding some sort of i guess, to a microphone stand. either way, people around donald trump who know him and actually care about him, should be more concerned about figuring out what is wrong with him, instead of trying to get him reelected to the presidency. >> i think that is the first

time we have said that word on the show. we talk about the counties around philadelphia, lancaster, delaware, montgomery, they will probably go for kamala harris, the question is, by how much? bucks county still in play. the city of philadelphia is actually the beginning because it is the margin. democrats win in philadelphia all the time, but what are you hearing about whether or not kamala harris can get to those kinds of margins that we have seen, perhaps going back as far as barack obama, but getting back that active vote that will be democratic? >> yeah, i think margins matter . i also think the overall vote total matters as well. you are right, kamala harris is going to do incredibly well here in philadelphia. and she has been doing something that i always talk about, you can't take folks for granted. start talking to folks in philadelphia, start talking to

black folks in october, this campaign is not done yet. from day one, she has made it clear, she will go everywhere, talk to everybody. i would also highlight, though, even though philadelphia will be a big part of this, people should not sleep democrats and in our rural areas. i have traveled, ali, to every single county, as you know i am running statewide to be pennsylvania's next auditor general. every single one, rural democrats are organized in a way i don't know that we have ever. when you have governor walz, and vice president kamala harris showing up to bellwether areas like lake erie, where governor walz was again, you have vice president harris in harrisburg, but in a section of the commonwealth, south-central pennsylvania, that has been trending well as well. look no further. but you have democrats in westmoreland, democrats in wayne, democrats all across the commonwealth who

recognize that they are not going to get the most votes in their county, but will leave no stone unturned, and were carrying kamala harris's message about an economy that works for everybody, that an america where we don't have to spend every day hating each other, and where we can focus on solving problems, taking that message to doors. donald trump, on the other hand, has his entire field operation being run by whatever elon musk is doing, throwing people in the back of vance, treating them like they should not be treated. so, i am confident with the energy i am seeing. i was just at a huge rally breakfast this morning. people are ready. people know what is on the line and we will win. >> malcolm, good to see you again, as always, democratic state representative, malcolm kenyatta of pennsylvania. remember, kamala harris's free election night event will be at the philadelphia museum of art.
