>> it is good to be here, ayman. and i think that contradiction is one of the fundamental problems inside of the tent of the democratic party, the fact that mark cuban and aoc at bernie sanders can live inside of the same tents. you can't live inside of that tent comfortably, and so, i think what he is articulating is an inconsistency, and something everyday working people can see. i agree, i'm glad that you brought up the fact that in the very beginning, vp harris was running with a populist message. we tested those messages independently as a working families party. we demonstrated that everyday working people, they are not necessarily captured by one party or another, but they are looking for people who are willing to every single day fight for them and fight against the forces that are bringing the economy and society against them, so, when she rolled out a policy that was coming after the price gouging corporations, folks of the working families party, we were excited. and then when those messages kind of got su

i'm ayman mohyeldin, let's do it. donald trump has been announcing a flurry of new additions to his administration. now after months of pretending to have nothing to do with project 2025 and claiming he barely even knows the people who wrote it, guess who he's tapped to run the office of management and budget. yep, you guessed it, project 2025 coauthor, russell vought, in his announcement, trump signaling that he actually knows vought pretty well, in fact. he stated russ knows how to end the deep state and end weaponized government. of course you'll remember that vought from this leaked footage where he told reporters from the center for climate reporting to not take trump's disavows of project 2025 seriously. >> i expect to hear ten more times how the president, you know, distancing himself from the left's, project 2025. >> and you're not worried about that? >> i'm not worried. he's running against the brand. he's not running against any people. he's not running against any institutionings. it's interesting, he's in

i'm milissa in for ayman. let's do this. >>> the most significant impact of the first trump administration, and indeed, the aspect that may have the most long-lasting ramifications for american society was its impact on the federal judiciary. during his first term in office, donald trump appointed a third of the supreme court to their lifetime appointments. but then a few years, the court overturned. and with its ruling, it essentially made the office of the president above the law. that's not all. stocking the lower courts with movements was a priority. and the trump administration worked with the harris administration to name 234 federal judges. a judge that has completely reshaped the authority. with donald trump back in office, and republicans holding a clear majority in the senate, republicans are salivating at dominating the judiciary for decades to come. in terms of the high court, all eyes are on the two oldest conservative justices, clarence thomas, and samuel alito. they are both septo genarians. and

i'm ayman mohyeldin, let's do it . tonight i want to start the show by focusing on one number and a lot of questions, as it now stands, donald trump sits with about 74 million votes nationwide compared to 70 million votes for the vice president kamala harris. it is safe to say those numbers will change as more votes are counted. but compare these numbers to 2020. from the strength of the highest voter turnout in recent american history. the democrats won more than 81 million voters, while trump was at 74 million, a number very close to what he won in tuesday's election. whether that number ends up being five or 10 million less than in 2020, my first question is an obvious one. what happened to those voters? for the most part, trump matched and slightly increased his number. but the democrats fell short of those. how did the party lose them? why did so many stay at home? there is a big debate happening right now in the democratic party. some say it is the focus on trans issues, others say the already moved too far in on

>> yeah, hey, ayman. the county is saying that this will be the safest ways to be on election night and arizona, which is very different from four years ago in 2020. and you talk about the fortress year, that's what it feels like part of the county spent $10 million over the last four years to basically fortify this building. two layers of fencing, multiple lines of security to get inside. some poll workers and election workers decided not to come back because of that, but the county has been able to get a good amount of people still to work. we want to show you inside, ballot counting is underway, and what your alert at right now is that working in pairs, one republican, one democrat, and they sit together in civility, and review any ballot that have been flagged because of any irregularities, and together, they, to a consensus with what to do to that ballot. all of this is showing you the county's efforts to be totally transparent about the election process. take a listen to what the elections director

. >> reporter: yeah, you are right, ayman. i have been at rallies that have focused on arnold palmer's anatomy, shall we say, and now in the home stretch his rhetoric is escalating. look, north carolina is interesting because he is spending a whole lot of time here in these precious final days. he has two rallies here today and then he is coming back tomorrow and monday. north carolina is a state that democrats haven't won since 2008. he has not lost north carolina, but he is here playing defense because it is in play this time around and if he loses north carolina, that makes the road to 270 the difficult. the early vote is through the roof. it is record numbers including western carolina that was hard- hit by helling. and republicans are outpacing democrats in the early vote by about 50,000, which is unusual, especially given the skepticism of early absentee voting. so the trump campaign is pointing to that as a good sign for them. we will not know until election day if those are added votes, or if those are just some folks
