. >> with us now to talk more about this, former senator, claire mccaskill, and both are the msnbc analystsde in being americans and 3.5 million adults who have become citizens since the last election, and they are signed up to vote. >> that was a wonderful piece, josÉ. it's heartening to see the enthusiasm and how seriously they take the ability to vote here in the united states. they are going to be crucial, these newly naturalized citizens will be crucial because in a number of the swing states the margins are just so close and the number of dually naturalized voters four out sees the margin we saw when you are talking about arizona, 10,000 votes, georgia, somewhere in that neighborhood. michigan, 150,000 votes or so. so they are important. it's also important to note that these are democratic votes, and surveys have shown this is a more split vote than most people give it credit for. that means that both parties should have an incentive to get out and inform these voters about the candidates and to let them know what they stand for and to try and mobilize and get people out to vote. tha

we are also joined by former senator from missouri, democrat and msnbc political analyst claire mccaskillh of you here to weigh in on a lot of things. >> i'm afraid to be on with claire again. >> we want more of it and it has not even started. you are fresh off this bus tour. kicked it off as you know in palm beach, florida. can you talk a little bit about the response you got and what the mood was like in a place that the trump campaign is calling trump country? >> highly energized. this amendment has galvanized the people of florida. just as you saw in kansas, ohio by 13 points, people have turned out. not just democrats. republicans and independents and said no, women should be able to make their own decision about healthcare, not politicians. so this could change the trajectory. a key senate race with the democratic candidate. we have got a number of congressional races down there of course. so it was a blast to be down there actually with anna navarro and a bunch of other leaders from florida and i think it was brilliant to start it right there in the backyard to make the point he is

which means no actual plan. >> claire mccaskill, she's having way too much fun. secondly, you and i both know that no woman could ever get away with saying, i don't have a plan, i have concepts of a plan, let alone a black woman. you were there for the many, many times that republicans attempted to repeal and replace obamacare. they never did it, they never had a plan either. what do you make of the fact that now, his concept of a plan is part of kamala harris' campaign? >> well, it was one of the many moments that you didn't know whether to laugh or cry during the debate. this man has been saying he has a plan for health care for nine years. nine years. beginning back in 2016, early 2016, and every time he talked about it, he said we'll have it in two weeks. we'll have it in two weeks. at one point when i was in the senate and we were, you know, having these votes, when we had the vote where john mccain famously saved obamacare, we used to make the joke, we're getting the bloodhounds out. we're going to look under desks and in closets because this plan is nowher

including my conversation with jen psaki and claire mccaskill. >> you covered the clinton came very closely other prominent female candidates. is this a sign of progress, is this a sign of a different strategy? what is it a sign of. >> i think it is a sign of progress. it is so exciting to me as someone who has broke into a business frankly where i was first the only woman in the newsroom in philadelphia pretty big town that i started out in. and in this radio newsroom, i was -- i only could get a job by working the night shift where i won't be seen during the day and i was called copy boy. i was a copy boy. so, there is a lot that has changed. >> #copy boy. >> in our profession, looking at the women leading our network, our bosses are women, and our camera people and editors on colleague and anchors. but the difference in politics is profound. i covered hillary clinton when she was first lady in 1992 and so i was a white house correspondent and hillary clinton by talking so much about gender, and perhaps it was not a good tactic for her to emphasize, as much as she did, made it possible fo

the weekend" alicia mendez is back and eddie glad is here and former msnbc guest correspondent claire mccaskill who's following the mets game. thank you, lindor. claire, i think we have followed the shiny objects for nine years because they are indeed news, right is it's a news story that he called the vice president of the united states mentally impaired. but for him it's also part of ignoring lindsey graham's advice. lindsey graham went out and said, i don't think he should insult her. politicians have been on for weeks telling him to stick to the issues and not brand her for her policies. this defiance is part of a test that is obviously a project that's already in motion from trump's perspective and that is to already sow doubt about the effects of the election. how do we respond to that? >> i think it's really hard because clearly he is going places that even he has not gone before in order to get attention. he is desperate to grab attention back -- so the focus is on him. i think his most miserable times campaigning is when everything was about her fund-raising and her crowds and her conv

former president trump and also with us, eugene daniels and former missouri democratic senator claire mccaskill joins us here in studio. great to have all of you here. garrett, you spoke to donald trump this morning. you told me earlier he was in a good mood. so, what's up, and what about those surprises? >> i wasn't able to get any information from him about those surprises. but you're right, the former president definitely seemed eager to get to philadelphia, to get on this debate stage. of course, he's had more general election presidential debates than any other candidate in history. tonight will be one more. i asked him about the challenges he sees and he said the most difficult part about preparing for the debate, kamala harris, the idea, he said, of her changing policy positions, especially going back to 2019 or so when she was running for president. donald trump has plenty of changing policy positions of his own, but i think the way that trump campaign has chosen to handle this issue, based on my reporting, searches involved in his debate prep, is to basically take what they believe is

. >>> joining us now, former democratic senator from missouri, claire mccaskill, and former republicangressman from pennsylvania, charlie dent. claire, you are a former prosecutor. kamala harris, a former prosec prosecutor. she's been effective in senate hearings. let's watch how she goes after donald trump on the trail. >> in the case of the stealing of reproductive freedom from the women of america, donald trump is guilty. i took on perpetrators of all kinds. predators who abused women. fraudsters who ripped off consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump's type. donald trump tried to throw away your votes. when he failed, he sent an armed mob to the united states capitol. as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face. >> claire, she's never debated this high a level. it's a different skill set. >> yeah. but listen, there's a -- that showed her going after him but in a respectful and targeted way. i gotta push back on the idea that people aren't watching the debate because they are worried about our polit

but i want to start with you, claire mccaskill. on the state of the race and what your thoughts are about how we cover these next 60 days. i think it's really important that we not cover trump on what he calls kamala harris. because his only campaign strategy appears to be to denigrate her, disrespect her, along with hosts of other people, including women in this country. i really think she has figured out something really important. that is deprive this guy of oxygen. don't engage. if he wants to get out on the campaign trail and talk about his tax plan, if he wants to talk about what he is proposing for this country and he says it with any shred of truth, then he should be covered like a presidential candidate. otherwise, he should just stay in his golf cart eating cheese burgers. i think that's where his campaign wants him because he isn't even campaigning this week. i think they figured out, we can't shut him up, so let's shut him in and make sure he stays on the golf course. and, you know, covering the fact that he's not worki

and you talk to her former senate colleagues like claire mccaskill, cory booker and others who watchedly dismantle people like bill barr and jeff sessions on live television, these are some of the skills that were on display there. i wonder what you make, again, this is a shortened campaign, there are 50 days to go. i think some of this, you know, how did she become this disciplined, this focused, questions will sort of be the stuff of poox. but what the people care about seems to be tracking with exactly what she's talking about. >> i'm laughing. you understand this. you know, we're campaign people. it's fascinating to me that we're having a conversation and it's -- and the fascinating point of it is that we have a candidate who's focuss on the people, not themselves. except for trump. that's what campaigns were supposed to be about, right. campaigns are about what are you going to do for the people and whether they be on the left or right, i'm old enough to remember, you know, even george h. bush talking about, you know, thousand points of light. what do you do for the people? it's o

former senator, host of podcast claire mccaskill is with us. also minute new york, and the executive director of republican voters against trump, sara longwell is here. what is the state of sort of the not just the female vote for trump, but the issues driving the men who love the female voters in a way that could be significant in november? >> i got to say, first of all, the gap that is opening up in terms of gender is more or less like nothing we have ever seen before. women are breaking hard for kamala harris. obviously, trump is doing better with men. i think when we look back is going to be the general polarization. it's this idea that the reason that women are breaking disproportionally for kamala harris is just because of abortion. that is wrong. women care very much about the economy. they care about crime and immigration. they care about all the same issues that men do. i think what's happening is that the republican party, and donald trump specifically, has a tragedy of trying to run up the numbers with men. that is why he picked jd v

former senator and host of msnbc's "how to win 2024" podcast claire mccaskill. david jolly, former republican congressman and with me at the table for the hour distinguished political scholar and professor at princeton university, eddie glaude is here. claire, i start with you. i know that when you were in this position and five points nationally ain't nothing, you are desperate for your allies to continue to communicate that you are the underdog, that it is -- what was the old expression? i think dan rather used to call it tight as a tick. that there is no space for complacency. that said, the polls have to be a very encouraging sign-in side the harris campaign. >> well, the national poll, this particular one, is encouraging certainly. i especially like the progress she's made on some pretty important issues to most voters, namely the economy, and how her favorability has ticked up and i also like the enthusiasm that's recorded on her side of the equation. but having said that, national polls don't matter. battleground state polls matter and there's seven of th

and also joining us, host of how to win the 2024 pod cast claire mccaskill is here. start with you. you know who j.d. vance is. the rest of us are still getting to know him. i wrote that down. i've listened to that clip three times. if i have to create stories, i will. what is inside someone who can't be shamed? who can't be forced to tell the truth when the lie is called aly by j.d. vance. >> yeah, thanks, nicole. great to be on with you, too. i've been wanting to share the stage with you. he's the kind of guy who has always been making up stories. and he tries to put himself in the middle of the story when it was, you know, he was going to be the character that went against donald trump. he was going to be the anti-trump figure. all of that stuff that has been reported ad nauseam in the last few years. then that switched. he wanted to create another story that he was this guy who saw the light and, you know, moved along with donald trump. so i think what this shows to me is that there is no one. he started a fake opiate charity. who does that? that was to launch hi

senator claire mccaskill. jonathan lemire, katty kay, and sam stein are still with us, as well. joe. >> yup, high-stakes night. it's kamala harris' night to define herself. look at the polls. i don't know, alex, if we can get the polls up, but you look at the polls we showed earlier, and it shows a very tight race. you look at states like florida. the map has expanded dramatically. i'm not just saying that because of the morning consul polls that just came out. you can look at florida. it's been within five points in a lot of different polls. nevada tied. north carolina tied. georgia tied. pennsylvania, harris ahead. wisconsin, harris ahead. you go through all these states, sam, and in joe biden's final few weeks, everybody kept saying the same thing on both campaigns. he had one pathway to 270, and that was through wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. look at these polpolls, the cbs poll this weekend where we're looking at individual states, they're all up for grabs. they're all tied. in most poll over the past couple weeks, except for "the new york times"/siena poll, which, agai

mccaskill. we will get back to you. >> this is my dream. i can not speak for claire.hat she was going to say. >> she did mention the executing babies thing which is rebeated by those on the right. do you ever run into voters, i mean, that are convinced that is something that happens. do they think that is really something that the republican guarding against. >> when trump puts out this misinformation out there, there are people that believe it, innocent people that believe it, they hear it, think it is true. it is not true, that is murder. i think the bigger point that claire was also making is that one out of three women now, when you look at what is going on here, live in states that have these extreme bans, in florida it is six weeks, a lot of women don't know they are pregnant by six weeks >> and trump said on thursday, six weeks is too early. the inco incoherence here, not just trump, it is -- every day, if it is tuesday there is an unusual j.d. vance stance on a cultural issue. he wrote a forward to a book that effectively says, abortion should become unthinkab
