director of this piece, were really trying to billboard, and that is that, you know, we are -- we have to look at it in terms of the long play. >> yeah. >> i think that there's probably where we get caught up in just what is right in front of us, the immediate. >> right. >> and we lose sight of, i think some people lose sight of what as john said, what is -- what is the long play? where are we going to find ourselves in 10, 15, maybe 20 years? >> that's right. >> wow. >> that's what this piece does so beautifully that's it for this sunday morning. we are back tomorrow morning at 6:00 eastern as we kick off election week in america. until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend. st of your wee kend. good morning.

it's sunday, november 3rd. i'm alicia menendez with symone sanders-townsend and michael steele. the moment is almost here. just hours to go. vice president harris closes out the campaign live from new york. also ahead, symone sits down with doug emhoff for his final interview before election day. the all star lineup breaking it down with us. wes moore, amy klobuchar joining the conversation. grab your coffee, put out your yard sign, settle in, and welcome to "the weekend." ome t breaking this morning, we are less than 48 hours away from election day, and more than 72 million americans have all right cast a ballot target start. that includes a record number of early voters in georgia, 4 million to be exact.

that's more than 55% of all registered voters in the state. meanwhile, just yesterday, harris campaign volunteers knocked on nearly 1.3 million doors across wisconsin, pennsylvania, and michigan. yes, there's an election, folks. as for the vice president, she wrapped up her saturday of campaigning, live from new york. >> i'm kamala. >> take my palmala. the american people want to stop the chaos. >> and end the dramala. >> with a cool new step mama look. >> get back in our pajamalas and watch a romkamala. >> joining us is governor moore. >> good to see you all. >> you have been out there with other governors across the

country, democratic governors, barnstorming various states. you were part of the swing through lansing and michigan, and can you just tell us what you're seeing on the ground from your perspective and what you're hearing from voters, not just in your state, but on the travels you have been on? >> i mean, it's great, and i was actually just in michigan again yesterday. i think that we are seeing excitement, and we are seeing people from all over the country, who are descending on the battleground states. i was with people from literally eight different states, there to phone bank inside of michigan. you know, i saw people who were behind the whole post-it movement taking place. leaving the post-its in women's bathrooms saying your husband will never know who you voted for. continuing to remind people that this is an important process we are going through, and it's something that people have to come to concession about in their own mind, does this person match my own values

or not? also i want to give a shoutout to our cohost michael steele, we are seeing republicans all over the countrycoming out saying it's not about political party. it's principles. republicans are saying we will not sit on the sidelines, and we are saying you cannot disagree vehemently and say you're not going to do something to help to make sure here's not the next president of the united states. republicans are. coming out and endorsing and supporting kamala harris at this moment. i think you're watching the unification of the country, where people understand what is at stake, and they understand what it is going to require for all of us to move forward, and you're watching people who are willing to put in the work. that's what determines the elections. >> you referenced the gender gap we are seeing in the election. i want you to listen to what former first lady, michelle obama had to say on the stomp in pennsylvania. >> look, if your brother or

your boyfriend or himming and hawing about voting, are you willing to have the uncomfortable conversation to vote for kamala harris? if you have the extra time tomorrow or can take off tuesday, will you lift up kamala harris? if you have a car, are you willing to drive folks to the polls to vote for kamala harris, y'all? this is what it is going to take, pennsylvania. all of us doing our part. >> governor, i want to ask you about the first part of what the former first lady said, asking women in the country if they are willing to have a difficult conversation with the men in their lives about the stakes of the election? what is your message to men across this country in the final days? >> first, i want to say, just continuing it show why the former first lady is a national treasure. there is no one who is speaking

to america the way she does. it's important to have uncomfortable conversations with men, and it's important for men to have the conversation with men as well. it's important for men to say, if you are really going to be, you know, as it says the spiritual head of household and if you're going to protect everyone in your family, that means understanding the voices of everyone in your family. that means understanding and protecting everyone in your family. when you have someone who is proposing legislation that is doing things like restricting health care to members of your family, when you have someone proposing legislation saying things like we will criminalize, criminalize a woman in your family who is trying to get the health care that she needs, and in some cases, life-saving health care that she needs, your job is to protect your family, by any means necessary. that means making sure that we have policymakers who are actually putting together policies doing just that.

i think it's important for women to be able to have uncomfortable conversations and also i think it's important for men to have the uncomfortable conversations as well, saying are you a leader in your household or not? are you willing to defend everybody in your household or not? this is an important moment for men to be able to establish how and what is our role in all of this? we cannot sit on the sidelines, especially for anything that means it seems like it's for selfish reasons. >> i agree with you a great deal on that. there's a lot there to unpack about men and women and the roles that they have and particularly within the black community. and at the end of the day, in this election, i think that the driver has been for quite some time unrecognized by many in mainstream media and many in the political world as women sort of setting the tone and the pattern. in fact, new polling out of

iowa, from the des moines register, showing us that harris is leading 47 to 44. and we had the great conversation yesterday on our program with janeanne selzer, everyone knowing as the heartbeat of the polling, and let's listen to what she said one of the reasons that kamala harris is leading. >> one of the reasons she is leading is because of her strength with women, generally, even stronger with women age 65 and over. her margin is more than two to one. this is an age group that shows up to vote or votes early in disproportionately large numbers. it's a little bit of the boost that kamala harris has gotten this time. >> you have been out and about the country, and does that line up with what you're seeing and

feeling and hearing out there in terms of this energy that has been tapped in to by the kamala harris campaign, but specifically by kamala herself? i will put it in context, which was not there in 2016 for hillary clinton? >> i think it absolutely lines up with what we are seeing on the ground. we are watching the energy they think has not been there for awhile, where we continue to see where women understand, firsthand, what is at stake. they understand the dynamics and the distinctions between these two candidates literally could not be more stark. you're talking about the future vision for the country, and who do you see? who are you willing to fight for? i think what it is also doing, honestly, inspiring our men. when i think about our advocacy and the fact that we have been going all over the country, making sure that in the case of maryland, that angela alsobrooks becomes our next senator and making sure kamala

harris becomes the next president, i know they am not just doing it on behalf of us. i'm doing it on behalf of my wife and my sisters and my daughter and my mother. the people who are energized to make sure that in this moment this country gets it right. i can't help but to be able to look at them and look at the energy and be inspired by myself and say what is our responsibility to make sure we are supporting these efforts? we have a candidate in kamala harris focusing on things like advancing economic opportunities and work and wages and wealth for all of us, not just some. a candidate focusing on public safety and getting illegal guns out of our neighborhoods and off our streets. we have a candidate focusing on reproductive health and rights. she is speaking to the american people. not speaking at us, but with us. that's why i think it's really powerful. you are seeing women stepping up, but you're watching men,

not just inspired by it, by understand if we are going to be the leaders in our households, what's our responsibility to step up and say we stand with you, and enough is enough on this? >> i do think that what you're saying is a very powerful message they believe is going to resinating across the country. we will see it on tuesday. before we let you go, you mentioned angela alsobrooks, the democrat candidate for senate in maryland, running against former governor larry hogan who is running against the republican candidate, and larry hogan is counting on split voters. cast it for kamala harris and then for me. >> it's a thing. >> i want to know what the governor of maryland, mr. chairman, thinks about that. >> and if democrats in maryland, you think, are willing to give control of the united states senate to the republicans? that's what is going to happen. >> i don't. i do think that it's rich that

larry hogan is asking people to have political courage that he doesn't have. it's fascinating to me. he is asking people to be split ticket voters, but asking who he will vote for, he repeatedly says people who deceased. he says he will not vote for kamala harris. i find it fascinating. i think the people of the state are over it now. you can't say that you will defend reproductive rights when you don't have a history of it. you can't say you will go against donald trump when you're running for senate. i think angela alsobrooks will win, and i can't wait to have her has as my partner in the senate. >> we will put the chairman back on the screen because i was like, what you got to that? nothing. >> governor wes moore. >> hold up. >> look, i'm trying to end this. the governor is running a

state. he has to go. >> the ephisians thing, the spiritual head of the household until his wife tells him to take out the trash. >> happy sunday morning, folks. governor, we appreciate your time. >> god bless you guys. coming up next, my interview with doug emhoff. his last before election day. and amy klobuchar joins the conversation. you're watching "the weekend" folks on msnbc. this place wreaks. i don't want to be here with you people. come on. i'm out of gas. i'm running on fumes here, folks. you can see it, right? the cracks are showing. i'm exhausted, babbling, doing crazy things with the microphone. things with th e microphone.

in a matter of days, the nation could see not just the first woman president-elect, but also the first first gentleman. i joined doug emhoff on the trail in lancaster, pennsylvania, and it was his final television interview before election day. disclaimer, i did work for the vice president as her senior adviser and chief spokesperson in the first year of the biden- harris administration, and i was also with her on the campaign trail in 2020 once she

joined the ticket. here's part of my conversation with the second gentleman whether we spoke about support for the vp from the business community. >> it strikes me a conversation about business and who is better for the economy, and you know a lot of the wall street players, the corporations and the executives across the country, and whether they have done business with you or whether you have just been in the room. what is going on with the silence from some ceos and some in the bids community, and what do you think it is that is prohibiting people coming out in support of the vice president and governor walz? >> i will flip the question a bit, not to sound like a lawyer, but there's lots of ceos and wall street types and business folks who are very much behind kamala harris, including economists, and mark cuban has been great. check out what he is saying about the economy.

i make the argument to the business community that it is something like, look, trump was terrible for the economy, with the tax cuts, and focusing on billionaires that ultimately do not help our economy. plus add in the tariff plan. >> it doesn't make sense. >> it doesn't work. and then the added argument i make, authoritarianism is terrible for the economy. if you have someone threatening companies with ramifications if they disagree, you see a chilling effect. you saw that with the endorsements that were pulled from the l.a. times and the washington post. i mean it's chilling, and part of it is, they don't want to get in the cross hairs, but they need to understand that if trump comes back, institutes the policies that are literally

tax cuts and tariffs, moodies saying it will send us in to a recession. if you have someone who makes no problem threatening free press, you look around the world at some of the authoritarian governments, and no one is talking about the economy. that's what could happen here. people need opaque up to that in the business community, and really think about that kind of leadership. you have kamala harris who has plans for all of us, and plans that will continue the investments in infrastructure, bringing manufacturing back here, and creating a lot of opportunities to start small business, building affordable housing, and making it easier to take care of mom and dad. all of these things will help the economy at large, and she is going to be there for all of us, and she's going to protect all our freedoms if someone disagrees with her. she is not ever going to do that.

in fact, she wants seats at the table for those who disagree. she wants all of the ideas to make the best policy. >> you know, i'm just struck sitting here talking to you because i remember when the vice president, then senator harris joined the ticket, traveling all across the country during the pandemic, and president biden, and she won. then it came time for the transition, and i remember doing the briefings, and i'm like mr. emhoff, he did not sign up to be the first second gentleman of the united states yet, here he is. i spoke to people who knew you at the beginning of the journey as the second gentleman and have seen you on the campaign trail on the potential on the cusp of this is a close rice. she could be the next president of the united states. that would make you the first

first gentlemen of the united states. people have been impressed with you. people have been very just impressed with how you're able to bridge so many different worlds and so many different gaps. how has the journey been for you? >> it's funny. i always think of you at the beginning, when i couldn't figure out how to go up the stairs at the capitol before the inauguration. >> who briefed the second gentleman. >> you said, it's not going to work. get it together. look at me now, symone. >> i mean, truly. >> it was a journey. it was a rough transition to be honest, going from lawyer to second gentleman. it was kamala, the one who pushed me to get out there and take advantage of the role. whether it was fighting antisemitism or hate, or whether it was the gender equity, and the horrific dobbs decision came down. she said as the first man in

this role, men need to hear from you. it's something she pushed me out on. we are a marriage of equals, and just as much as i'm out there supporting her publically, she is supporting me every step of the way. she called me. she knew she was coming on and said say hi to symone, but also, are you good? that's what a partnership should be. i get asked what's it like giving up your career? do you feel any less of a man or all of this stuff? absolutely not. it's the height of being a good guy to support those you love and be there for them. this was a unique opportunity for her to be vice president. i gladly stepped away from a career i loved and was successful and good at, and i miss, but it's a no brainer, and when she wins and i'm the first first gentleman and she's the next president, i will

gladly continue to do what i have done, support her as a husband and support her administration as first gentlemen and support the nation they love so much and she loves so much. >> you know, i wanted to know what the vice president thought about your role that you have taken on, and a lot of people, i am sure you are aware, saying you are the epitome of a wife guy, but people don't know the vice president, your wife is really a husband lady, very much so, and you have taken on so many different roles in the campaign, and we have a quote from the vice president, and this is what she said about you, doug's sense of duty and responsibility to our family and our country has been on full display throughout my vice presidency. i could not be more proud of my husband's leadership, whether it's the work tackling hate and antisemitism or modeling what it means to be a supportive

spouse no matter your gender. >> she said that? >> she said that. this is from the vice president. >> the vice president is a husband lady. i thought the quote at the end from the vice president, talking about the second gentleman was like so -- it just wrapped the entire conversation into a bow. he does come from the business, lawyer entertainment world. he knows intimately about the economic arguments and just the disingenuousness in the arguments donald trump has been making. saying we are in a relationship of equals. do i feel less of a man? i don't. i just think it dove tails what we were hearing from governor moore a moment ago. >> it does. look, there's going to be a lot come, you know, wednesday, thursday, and friday, whenever

this election is called, for him to absorb. there's a lot of traditional roles and things that are done in the white house by what would have been the first lady. it changes with the first gentlemen. second gentleman is not the same as the first gentleman and the roles. there is a contemptiveness with the process and the role you have to have to lean into that. i think being second gentleman sets him up nicely for that transition. it is different, and it is much more of a high profile position for him to be in. you have got to have your head in a particular space, and it's good to know your spouse is there to support you with that. you have a network of people around you to support you with that. as you sort of move into in, and listening to him, you just have this conversation that he is going to be fine. >> the defender of the free

press, and okay, very clear about the threat that donald trump poses and presents and about what donald trump is saying he would do. >> i was struck by the first part of your exchange, you asked him why we have seen all of the business leaders and billionaires sitting on the sidelines or come out and supported trump. i appreciated he flips the question on its head and said let's remember as you know, symone, there's leading economists across the board saying the economy would be stronger under kamala harris' plans and stood beside her. mark cuban out on the stomp. that's the truth. if your primary issue here is the economy, you have a number of leading thought leaders saying, if that is the issue on which you are voting, she should be the pick. >> the second gentleman talking about the chilling effect. we are in the middle of it all, and it feels like so much is happening at one time, but what

donald trump and his allies are trying to do here is scare people. scare companies, scare business leaders into not doing something. not participating for fear of retribution. the second gentleman clearly pointed to that and said it's a chilling effect. that's what this is about. >> we want to air more of the interview with symone's conversation with the second gentleman straight ahead. you're watching "the weekend." you're watching "the weekend."

at harbor freight, we do business differently from the other guys. we design and test our own tools and sell them directly to you. no middleman. no folks in suits telling us to raise prices for the heck of it. just quality tools you can trust, at prices you'll love, every aisle every day. that's how we like to do business any way. whatever you do, do it for less at harbor freight.

okay, we are at the point that polls don't matter, yet. >> get off the poll-acoster. >> one more time for old time sake. last night's big story on the air at 9:00, the poll out of iowa, and now it's this final new york times poll, and let's look at the numbers. michigan, tied at 47%.

wisconsin, harris leading by 2 points. pennsylvania, tied. that is likely voters. the poll in the field october 24th through november 2nd, and margin of error 3.1%. very tight race. >> i don't know what you think, mr. chairman, but i do think that just like in the midterm elections, there was this talk about a red wave, and then the red wave did not materialize. if you went to any of the battleground states, any of the key states in the midterm elections, and just saw what was happening on the ground and talked to voters, and people, you would have known the red wave was not actually happening. i feel like that is what is happening here. i think the race is close, but i also believe that the impact of, you know, the dobbs decision is not being seen in the data, per se, in some of the polls. >> look -- you have a time line of events and everybody focuses on a lot of different things

and aspects, and in the process, they forget the voters. there are all of these other top line things that people want to focus on, particularly in the press that belize what the voters are feeling. it's not kamala getting into it so much or all of the other stuff that happened in that moment. it's the cumulative effect of it on voters, and this was -- to your point about the red wave. why the red wave didn't work was because voters weren't buying it. so why kamala is working is that they are buying here. they are finally coming into the conversation where they see her as president. just to pose against the man who was president. they are now preferring the future as opposed to the past. i think the contrast for me is stunning. which is why the numbers are

showing what they are showing. the numbers aren't actually giving you an accurate picture. i'm saying she is ahead in michigan. >> okay. >> i'm saying -- >> but debbie dingell said no one is winning michigan yet. >> i appreciate debbie dingell, and she is right in that sense. you don't win it until it's done, but what i'm saying, you can be ahead and still not win it. you have still got to count all of the votes, but in terms of the momentum, there's a lot more momentum coming out of the last phase of the campaign for harris. it's because of the discipline. it's the messaging, and the connections she has made with voters that donald trump could not be in to. >> maybe even the infrastructure? >> i mean, i would also say this is predicated -- when you're building the model for elections, you're medicating on past elections, and there's simple the possibility as you have reminded us over and over again, there's going to be

voters who have not voted voted in previous elections because they have not been eligible or they decided the stakes were not too high. >> 20 million young people, gen z voters have been activated in the election. that's a lot of people. >> and then there was madison square garden, and that kind of a moment as well. >> well, makes a difference. >> yep. >> oh, folks. don't go anywhere. we have more from my interview with the second gentleman, and we will be joined by amy klobuchar. this is the weekend, folks. har. this is the weekend, folks . has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call

together. we love each other very much, and we really love our marriage. one of the hardest parts of the last 14, 15 weeks, we haven't been together. we don't have the happy couple time when we are together. it's literally business. how are we going to win? you're back on the road, and she's on the road, and we understand the sense of possibility. when she took over 15 weeks ago, no one had to explain to her what the mission was. when people say oh, we didn't see this before? i knew it was there. she's the best version of an amazing person, and she's been that way because we needed a leader, and that's the president she will be. >> what surprised you the most about the conversation? >> well, we haven't aired the part yet, but talking the bro cultural and the masculinity. you can see the reactions of the second gentleman, and he's like, yes, i'm aware. >> that's the next hour? >> the next hour for folks.

the biggest thing, not surprised me, but, what he said in the end about no one had to -- about the vice president, and 15 weeks ago, she stepped up and no one had to talk to her about what to do, and it didn't surprise me. i feel that way about both of them. i think that the american people saw that, and the nature of the vice presidency, your name is on the door, but number two on the door, and a great vice president is not running around, you know, shouting from the rooftops about the things she has done. i know some people on the internet would like to think otherwise, but that's not how it works. it's been 30 years since a sitting vice president was the nominee for a major party ticket. more people know more less about vice president harris and what she was doing and the second gentleman than they really wanted to let on, and when you finally see them in the spotlight, right! you see douglas emhoff, you're

like, what? how have i not been paying attention? he's been leading antisemitism efforts and the crisis of mental health, he was leading on that, and also obviously he and his marriage and his family, the physical representation of the modern american family. like they are a blended family. i am just glad that people are seeing the second gentleman in this spot light. he is rising to the occasion. >> he is. goes back to what i said before, when you are in the role he is in, every day is different and made up because no one has done it before. he's the first gentleman who play that role and be in that role as the second gentleman of the united states. and now he has to translate that in to being the first gentleman of the united states, and you have a sense from him

how he is going to do it. i think that the country should be okay with that. you don't have this sort of wild and crazy view from him, and i get to go and do it. no. >> that's the type of first gentleman michael steele would be. >> to be very clear, i think so. the last thing, it's interesting because none of it felt stilted. he seemed comfortable. obviously i know the second gentlemen very well. would melania be like this? >> that's a question to ponder. our handle everywhere. >> is she still on the campaign? >> i guess so. ss so. rol.

election day, and that's okay. so long as the delay is not the result of voter intimidation, suppression, or other efforts to undermine the electoral process. yes, we are looking at you, donald trump. one of those democrats, however, minnesota's amy klobuchar, is joinings us now. she's working to ensure that we have a peaceful transfer of power. >> what is within the per view of the u.s. senate when it comes to ensuring a peaceful transfer of power? >> one thing, the senate and the house are in charge of making sure the ballots are counted. we all know what happened last january 6th . to put people at ease, knowing that donald trump is trying to undermine the election, in nearly every rally, talking about cheating, about in my mind, what tim walz just said is right, and if everyone votes as they should and everyone gets to the polls,

we are going to win this. it will be close, but we are going to win this. he knows that. he's trying to undermine with over 100 lawsuits. every single rally, questioning the election. that's why we actually changed the law and the electoral count act, making sure it's not just one person objecting in each chamber, it's 20%. you can't have these fake electors. the governors have to certify. there's a number of protections put in place. the other thing is exactly what michael said at the beginning, and that is that it is going to take awhile to count some of the states, and they all have different rules. we showed pennsylvania doesn't start opening and counting ballots until the day of the election. michigan changed their rules so you can open them up for jurisdictions over 5,000. wisconsin doesn't start counting the early ballots until the day of the election.

that's why you see some delays. he will try to plan the delays, trump will, to question the election, and our goal here is to make sure the votes are counted, and everyone has the right to vote. >> senator, can i pick up on the point you just made? i think it's critically important for the country to understand exactly what you and your fellow senators have done already, but more importantly, given what we are hearing from coming from the streets, from ports of elections, the efforts in places like georgia, and other areas of the country where they are trying to cook the results early. what are you, in addition to the election count act, what other measures are you and your committee looking at in light of what you're hearing now, going in to this election cycle that you have got your antenna up and watching for over the

course of this election playing out? >> well, right now like everyone out there, i'm focused on the next few days. i think someone said that people are officerly optimistic about what is happening. i think it best characterizes it. it's a little hard to see beyond that. we are starting to see the digitally altered ads created by a.i. that are lies in the governor's race in indiana. a republican put up a fake no gasto signs that were manufactured, put in an ad and taken down because of the indiana law. i would like to see changes to that, and i have bipartisan bills to do it. i think we have to protect election officials. with will be doing all we can, and police, law enforcement, democratic and republican governors are going to be doing all they can to protect the election officials. the kind of violence that we are seeing, whether it was the attempted assassination

attempts, the attempted assassinations on the former president or whether it is the kinds of language and things used against the election officials and that trump himself used against liz cheney this past weekend t raises the temperature, makes people scared, and i think that people need to understand the election by our own accounts is still secure. people should got out and vote. >> i believe your last point is very important. some may suggest that talking about the very real threats that present folks at the polls, the poll workers, like, we have all seen the videos on social media. people going to the polls and gotten maybe a little aggressive over the last couple of days and weeks. we all remember what happened

in 2020, and some may suggest we shouldn't talk about the things because it will keep people from voting, but people need to go to the polls regardless. i want people to vote, and i think we all want people to exercise their right to, in our representative democracy to participate. your point about election workers is well taken, senator. i am someone who believes, i don't think we will see another january 6th type of event at the capitol. i think it's the state certifications that are in the cross hairs now of some of donald trump's allies, and yet is this something that the committee has discussed and talked about? are you talking about this with other officials across the country? because that, i believe, is the ball game this time around. >> yeah, the electoral count act which was supported on our rules committee they lead before it went to the full senate vote, by every single republican, including mitch mcconnell except ted cruz, are

you surprised? he did not support this, but what it did, as i mentioned, the governor has to certify the results. if a rogue state legislator tries to create the fake electors, the governor has to certify them. we think that's less likely to have. if you have a rogue governor, there's a set process for going through the federal court process that we didn't have before, and then finally which isn't relevant here, we make clear that the vice president cannot overturn the will of the people, which will not happen, but we put that in there because of what happened last time where former president trump and his allies were claiming pence could change the votes. i think the number one thing, having just been in pittsburgh yesterday, people are voting. you see these people, i cannot tell you the energy on the

ground, and i cannot tell you the number of people coming up to me, and michael knows the people because they are republicans or former republicans at diners and airports, and whatever, and just go up to me and say i'm a conservative republican, but i can't vote for him. they are whispering it, and they come up or give a thumbs up, happening to me five times at a diner in wisconsin in a red area. they go like this. so i think that there's a whole group of women that are voting that you haven't seen before, and there's business people who don't want the chaos, and that's why you're seeing the iowa poll that came out yesterday that shocked everyone that she is ahead. and then, because they are not polling as much there, it's my view, and suddenly the people in iowa are answering the poll, and you get more accurate information, and whether or not she wins in iowa, it just shows the kind of momentum that we are seeing, and finally the democracy republicans and independents who showed their strength in 2022, who just do

not want to go back to the assault on our democracy. >> senator amy klobuchar of minnesota, i mean in pittsburgh yesterday, had a lunch event in iowa a couple of weeks ago, and she knows what is happening on the ground. appreciate your time. >> and senator, you have your own race, and you're up by about 12 points right now, and you're doing your work despite having to go around the country for the campaign as well. >> one could argue she does it all. >> thank you. >> senator, we will see you on the other side of election day. there's another big hour of "the weekend," folks, straight ahead, including more with the conversation with doug emhoff. you're watching "the weekend." e " rried about leaking en you wanna be laughing? it's time to upgrade. only always discreet has a unique drytech layer to keep you drier than depend. so you can laugh harder, and stay drier. we've got you, always. always discreet.

do you believe in punishment for abortion? yes or no? there has to be some form of punishment. for the woman? yeah. and the punishment is real. women denied care, unable to get pregnant again. traumatized. scarred for life. young women who didn't need to die. now, 1 in 3 women live under a trump abortion ban. and if he's elected, everyone will. there has to be some form of punishment. i'm kamala harris, and i approve this message.

i've been worn by celebrities, athletes, and world leaders. but i've always felt most comfortable up here, with the folks that made me who i am. i'm right at home, out here on the land. and i'm in my lane on the shoulder of the interstate. because this is where i come from. i've been showing up here for nearly 200 years. and i can't wait to see what's next. hats off to the future. nothing runs like a deere™ ♪♪
