yes, former 2016 trump campaign manager corey lewandowski is coming back, the very same corey lewandowski who was actually fired from the campaign back in 2016. let's be clear my no amount of campaign shakeups and finger- pointing will change the fact that it is not actually the campaign that is the problem. it is the candidate. we have an all-star panel to kick things off for us. we have an analyst and special correspondent for vanity fair, and the cofounder of the lincoln project and the author of the book "running against the devil: a plot to save america from trump and democrats from themselves." i will start with you in this contrast that we saw from kamala harris and donald trump on the economy. it is funny how trump ran as a populist candidate back in 2016 and yet here harris is actually running populist economic policies while trump is ranting about windmills into taking cheerios back to his cottage. >> it is fascinating to watch the side-by-side of them together. that was a great -bcut your tea put together, because it really highlights just how off-track donald trump is. like, h

> i had forgotten half the stuff on that list, but that's right. 2016 trump campaign manager corey lewandowski is being brought back into the fold. this afternoon trump announced he will be coming on board as a senior advisor, claiming many people want to join the campaign for the final push. lewandowski is one of five new staffers all previously from trump world. trump has been annoyed for weeks with the direction of the campaign. it is hard to see this move as anything but a demotion, a pretty humiliating one, actually, for the co-campaign managers will now be subject to the strategic genius of corey lewandowski when he is not doing god knows what else. known in 2016 for not trying to retrain re-strain trump and his impulses. let trump he trump was a motto lewandowski wrote on day one. it is understandable donald trump wants to recapture the 2016 feeling. it was literally his one and only whenever. even though he lost the popular contest by 3 million votes and took the white house because of the electoral college. the trick that trump and his campaign pulled off back then was presenting the

number one, corey lewandowski.ill recall he was donald trump's initial campaign manager back in 2015. corey lewandowski is re-joining the trump campaign here in 2024 for the home stretch. also, donald trump's one-time body man, political advisor after leaving the white house and the head of the maga inc. super pac is moving over to the campaign infrastructure as well as additional hires. this afternoon in bedminster, there's going to be a press conference at 4:30 p.m. eastern. undoubtedly, we will hear donald trump talk about the new additions. this is coming at a time when j.d. vance is on the trail and answering some questions about some old statements he made. i want to let you listen to the speech he delivered in 2021 pertaining to corporate america and their posture towards being pro-abortion reproductive rights and in j.d. vance's view why. >> when the big corporations come against you for passing abortion restrictions, when corporations are so desperate for cheap labor that they don't want people to parent c

corey lewandowski.ight. here is his answer. >> this is a -- >> is donald trump endorsing rfk jr.'s vaccine conspiracy theories? >> well, rfk jr. has been someone who's been very steadfast in making sure that when it comes to the decisions that affect your body, you get to choose. >> i asked you, though, about rfk's actual conspiracy theories. >> ari, i'm not here to answer questions for rfk. he's a big man. i think when it comes to rfk, specifically those moms who have young children, they're very concerned about what is being injected into their children, whether it's through the food supply or through these vaccines and rfk has an opportunity to go out and talk about the fact that he was right. the government should not have had to mandate those. we don't know the full impact of what was mandated by the government on the long-term repercussions that it could potentially cause, so we're very much in line with rfk on that position. >> the trump campaign sounding very open to rfk's stance there, even tho

going to try to repair that today with the press conference and i want to give a shout out to corey lewandowski. he is a friend of mine, even though he's on the wrong team. i like corey and i don't wish him well, with this thing, but i wish him well in general in life because i want donald trump to lose, but but i would say this to you. the smaller events or because he's worried about crowd sizes, he does not want his crowd sizes to be overwhelmed by vice president harris and it looks that way. if you look at her crowd sizes recently, she's getting way more people. he knows that. and so that's why he's making this adaptation. we can't rule mr. trump out of this race. he's a very aggressive, very formidable competitor, and he's recalibrating right now how he's going to approach the race from here to november. and i'll just point out to viewers and listeners. he he did the same thing in august of 2016, we had to swap out in august of 2016 and kellyanne conway and steve bannon joined the race. got a lot tighter and a lot more complex after the joint. so he's doing something very similar right now.

trump 2024 senior official corey lewandowski joins now senior advisor. right corey?omething like that. i don't know if titles matter. the only title that matters is president and. >> martha: the opening question is are you coming back into the campaign at this point and why is the former president bringing other people back from the prior campaigns as well as this point? >> we are 80 days from the selection and really the truth is people start voting much earlier than that. we are only 45 days before the ballots start going out so it's all hands on deck. everybody who wants to be part of the team there's a spot for. 8 team is better as you add more resources to it not less. so the president has made the decision to continue to bring members into his team that want to make sure he's going to be successful. so as we build out this team and continue to grow, it is an addition campaign not subtraction. i have been the chance to work with chris and susie for a long time and tony fabrizio and other members of senior leadership team and i'm honoured and humbled the presiden

so when you look at the corey lewandowski and some other changes. he brought in other people.g? >> donald trump is the campaign manager. he is the communications director. it is solely on donald trump. the staffing changes really don't make much of a difference. they are trying. his advisers are trying to lead him to really focus on the issues. you're going to do an event. we're going to put grocery prices behind you. talk about the cost of the groceries. the former president then does what he does and he veers off script, but there are bright spots. even in our poll for the former president, he is still doing extremely well on the economy. he's leading harris -- >> martha: crime, immigration. >> crime, immigration, and that's why you have republicans saying, if you just focus your message on those core issues, you can really, really, really pitch something strong to the american people. the question is whether or not he does that consistently. >> martha: and jon, we heard former president trump talk about the last debate. this debate which will be the first debate which will

brings in a corey lewandowski.y knocked joe biden out of the race with the debate and got the switch-a-roo he'd long been promising. that's where he is emotional i. he's also going to go for the gut, base instincts. that'll help turn out some of his base. it won't expand the universe of voters, and i think that's why he lost in 2020. for four years as president, he didn't do anything to expand his voting set. >> the coalition didn't come together in the broad way biden's did. john allen, thank you for joining us. not enough usage of the word switch-a-roo in coverage. we'll change that. thanks. >> thanks. >> and thank you for getting up "way too early" on this monday morning. "morning joe" starts now. >>> james, how many are you putting into polls that say harris is ahead? >> we have a long way from august. the idea is to be good in november. and i tell democrats, some caution here. first of all, most say we have to win by three in the popular vote to win the electoral college. when you see a poll that says

corey lewandowski, we know he's back.h him lagging in the polls, with fundraising go well for kamala harris, her crowd size so big, do you think a shakeup is coming? >> i think so. i think when things aren't going well, it's his tendency to look for a scapegoat. it's important to remember, he had three different campaign managers and won in 2016. obviously throughout his tenure as president of the united states, he had a lot of turnover inside his white house, and so i think it's just parts of who he is that when things are not going well, to look to shake it up. i would imagine that when you're bringing corey back, it's not because you think things are going great, you see the what polling trend has been, and you're looking to have a change and shakeup. >> so trump also has a tendency, as you know, to say everything that doesn't go his way is rigged. he said the 2020 election was rigged. he still says that. he was, of course, convicted of fraud in new york city, but he says that's because it was rigged. he was ordered to

what genius said were struggling with suburban women in the suburbs, we really need to bring corey lewandowsky back to save the day. listen, it means donald trump wants to relive them magic of 2016, even though corey ended up leaving that campaign under interesting circumstances, it's not going to help them. this isn't someone who's going to help them hone his message i expected he bring back kellyanne conway, who's at least a much better messenger and can soften him and the issues he needs brian, what do you hear in that knowing the reputation of torri lewandowsky using that is going to mean what for what could be coming at kamala harris i don't know anything about him, but the problem for donald trump, his problems are his own creation of if he were ceo is board of directors would replace him. >> they wouldn't be bringing in a new campaign manager, but you can't replace the candidate, so he's going to do whatever it takes to try to bring in new blood, maybe get people fighting to make him better. but the problem is he needs to look themselves in the mirror. that's donald trump's challenge ri

new staff, bring back corey lewandowsky. they're going to do that. who was donald trump's first campaign manager from the very first time he got into politics in his first presidential campaign in 2015. and others who worked with corey lewandowsky this is not a staff problem. this is not a the chairman. excuse me, campaign chief. chris lacivita or susie wiles, who are kind of doing it together. problem. this is a donald trump issue. and maybe he knows more than the people who are working for him that would not be the first time when he's trying to appeal to certain kinds of people. but in this race in this snapshot of time, there are very few republicans who think that's the case when he goes off message, when he goes off script, when he doesn't talk about the issues that people really care about who aren't already on his team, who aren't already going to go out and vote for him the campaign right now, the election will very likely be decided on the margins in key swing states. and having that kind of message. i've not talked to any republicans who t

that's what corey lewandowski said early on. let him be himself. he's eight years older, says something, can you move a person that old to be different from who they fundamentally are. chuck, what i'm struck by, something else that megyn kelly said, he's getting boring. i think she's right when she says in 2016 it was hard to look away. if you loved him, you didn't want to look away. if you hated him, you couldn't look away. but now, you can look away. it's easy to not be glued to him any longer. >> katy, i was struck at the republican convention when he spoke. remember who's in the hall, these are the die hards, these are the maga hat people, and he kept droning on and on, and you saw his most fervent supporters doing this, looking at their phones, scrolling instagram or whatever they're scrolling. >> chuck, people left early. >> they weren't paying attention. >> correct. we have seen this a lot at these rallies because it's the same schick. they want me to read on the teleprompter, and kamala harris, she's always saying the same speech, she's alw

it is why you see corey lewandowski back on scene after being booted in 2016.ack in 2021. now he is back in the fold because trump loves drama. he is a messy person and he feels in control when the people around him are fighting amongst themselves for approval. he may not care specifically about these specific influencers denigrating him, but he does care day >> about their influence and making sure they say good things about him so they go out and vote about him. >> we have the two days to the election. what do you think donald trump is going to do in those 72 days as desperation sets in on him? i know it is a tall order, but when you look at how he behaved in the past. when you look about how he has gone after a nasty, vicious ways about specifically black women, people in powerful positions. what do you anticipate will happen? >> desperate men are dangerous. been with no shame are more dangerous. put those two together and you have donald trump. so i think we can assume that the racist and sexist attacks on vice president kamala harris will get even more ins

fundamentally who he is and the hires that the trump campaign announced today, including bringing back corey lewandowski, who really literally wrote a book called let trump be trump, suggests to me that raining this in isn't actually going to be the play heading into november. it feels like it's going to get worse. >> no, and your set up really captured the moment because you look at that scene where he had all the charts about inflation. that is the message. that is the message that republicans and professional aides want him to do. what you saw was a donald trump who is incapable and completely uninterested in staying on message. what you saw is trump being trump. first of all, that was not really a press conference. it was this rambling stream of grievances, insults, fabrications and gibberish, which we've now gotten for pretty much the last three weeks, and i agree with you. i don't see any indication that that's going to change. you can see the campaign trying to make him talk about the economy like they did in north carolina, like they did today, and he just can't bring himself. one other point, a

it's at all are you saying because you know, corey lewandowski is original campaign manager, is there you think there should be a staff shakeup. do you think there will be i do think that they will likely bring in other folks to augment the team. >> i think that wiles and lacivita have a lot to they've accomplished a lot. they deserve a lot of credit and praise but i do think it's very clear but they need a different kind of approach in the months to come and we'll see if that's right. that's right but i do think trump understands that most elections are vibes. >> election as much as we talk about sort of policy and we want more policy meat on the bone from the kamala harris team. he very much wants to kill the vice i obs around the kamala harris campaign. he's whole election in 2016 was a vibes electric going after her personally isn't doing what i think he thinks this sort of comrade kamala that he thinks that kind of stuff works. where is she really from? you know, it's sort of a rebirth of birtherism for lack of a better word. he's very well knows. i mean, that's sort of her beaut

they brought on his 2016 first campaign manager, corey lewandowsky. they brought on a gop consultant, alex bruesewitz they took over taylor budowich, who was at the maga inc. the super pac brought him over as a senior advisor. they are bringing over trump loyalists, people who have been with trump for the last several years, they are are trying to get people to be part of the campaign. they are trying to get all boots on the ground will see what looks like in terms of travel, an actual execution. >> shermichael, in terms of trump's ability to have figured out kamala harris and how to go after her. we have seen in recent days, the former president using his twitter account, normally, of course, he posts on truth social, the company that he owns, a very large part of. and now we've seen more than a dozen post on twitter so to what extent do you think that's a wrap? ignition that he's got to reach out beyond that truth social ecosystem to a broader audience recognition that he's in a very tight race with harris yeah i mean look you cannot compare the val

people like corey lewandowski's someone who was a senior adviser on his campaign back in 2016 and is now trump confirming that he's back in what does that tell you about what's happening inside that camp i know jamal is going to agree with me on his anytime a campaign has a little bit of trouble, the candidate reaches out to somebody from the past, somebody that he trusts some of its sort of a security blanket for them. >> that's what's happening right now. and i tell you i was so heartened to hear what j.d. vance said about some will you disagrees with me? 25% of the time i'm okay with because every house republican conference meeting i was in the rise of the freedom caucus was anybody who disagrees with you, 25% of the time is a heretic, right vance's right at the challenge that they face is as kamala harris is morphing into this new role is how do we criticize? as her is she the flip flopper to your point about fracking and so many issues over the past week or two where she's come to a very new place or is she the committed radical leftist? they can't be both simultaneously. you h

point as the trump camp expands with some new hires bringing back some folks from 2016, like corey lewandowsky, for example, who was the original campaign manager. can you just briefly talk about if that is a significant moment and people have also talked about kellyanne conway maybe coming back. >> what is this? >> sign of panic, is it just a perennial trump firing and shake-up like what are we looking at? well, i don't think we know yet exactly what what else he might do in terms of shaking up the campaign if this is a preliminary round or if this is all he plans to do. but according going to ask, you, literally wrote a book called let trump be trump two match points. so this it is definitely him going back to the type of advisers who are going to indulge his sort of base, basest instincts, if you will and not try to rein him in, not try to get him to be more disciplined, especially since he thinks he's entitled to it. i think that's doesn't help, you know, there was a moment where that's stuck out to me where he's trying to attack the democrats, clean energy policies. and in the process, it

we can keep seeing this sort of imbecility from him trump's first campaign manager from 2016, corey lewandowsky returning to the campaign here, rejoining and what do you think of that? what do you think that means well, he knows the president well, and i and full disclosure. >> i'm a friend of kouri's. we've chosen to keep politics out of our friendship. i've always gotten on with him when he was in the campaign early on in 2016, i was with him and remember he wrote a book, let trump be trump. and so i think what's happening for the president right now, the polls got a little wobbly on him and they gained candidates. and so he's searching for a redirection in the campaign. and so i think he's going to corey for the let trump be trump sort of strategy as opposed also a more buttoned up, more disciplined trump will have to see if that works for them right now polls are super close. but i would point out to the harris team if they're this close and your on their team, i would be concerned because he has a tendency to underperform in these polls people don't like admitting that they're going to vot

disaffected republican voters and jason, i do want to ask you about the trump campaign hiring corey corey lewandowsky and some other alums to come back to this campaign. >> he was part of the trump 2016 campaign, which of course we noted you worked look, don what do you make of those personnel moves well, i think this is typical donald trump, right? >> i mean, i think you had this happen in 2016 when there were three iterations of campaign leadership, you had it. i believe you had it in 2020 in some form or fashion you know, i think there is this cast of characters that are in quote, unquote, trump world that donald trump relies on for advice whether or not they are have been part of the organization or outside the circle. and i think i know some of the other names that were mentioned in there i don't know what that does internally i don't know if that's more of a firming up the base to try and get the base out to vote. but certainly, i think the two people that have been in charge of this campaign, chris lacivita and susie wiles are probably two of the best campaign operative operating in this count

you're seeing that bringing and then people like corey lewandowsky and others from the 2016 race where the president's heart appear to be in wanting to win, then i think you will also see republicans say that to astead's point, this is a continuation of joe biden's failed policies, which are not very popular on to significant fronts, immigration and the economic front the vice president gave a speech which a lot of democrats and progressives lauded as a great speech in terms of her plans on the economy. but our very own reporting showed that it would increase spending by $1.7 trillion over eight to ten years. how can the american people pay for that? the washington post editorial board called it gimmicks and so i think republicans still have an opportunity to continue to contrast all though it's going to be more difficult, i'll give credit to the vice president. this is historic moment for her. i'm proud of her. i congratulate her on what i believe will be a successful week. but on the issues of policies i think the republican party and conservatives, generally speaking, still have the

the candidate is down on the dumps you've got to bring someone that they can talk to basically corey lewandowskiight be like a service animal, like a comfort animal to like for trump to vent to, who can travel with them so that they can the campaigns can actually run the thing. i don't either way, i don't think that bodes well for the camp well, on that note, it was noteworthy to me that susie wiles and chris lacivita are the ones to put up the statement on the record that he is joining perhaps that's also a self-preservatio n thing to say, like he's not replacing us, he's we know we're the ones we're the ones welcoming him in any it is that i mean that they want to have somebody who tried to wait i remember john mccain in 22,008. they kept joe lieberman on the campaign with him. like what is what makes kate, what makes mccain happy? joe lieberman and cookies. so they may atria joe lieberman so i was talking to republican the other day about this and they made a really interesting point that donald trump has not really had to run a campaign so far it was you know, he kept being bolstered in the

in this i do think that the shakeup within the trump campaign that we've recently seen with corey lewandowsky coming back. i think we're going to see a push to let trump be trump, right? which is the whole idea that this is someone who cannot be corralled and he has expanded the republican party. he has brought more people in to the party. he has fundamentally changed it, and he's done that by being himself. and so i think what people are going to come to is that this is the man who won in 2016, who has managed to keep the party in his grip all this time, let him do what he does and let the chips fall where they may. and i think what he does though, is starting to get boring, like i'm looking at the meme that came out, the racist meme that he tweeted and yes, there was some level of outrage, but i think there was also eye-rolling. >> it's like we've seen the show before. you're going to you're appealing to the most base instincts of voters. and i think people are kind of over it today in her speech harris pointed out she said, you know, he gives this this talk about the economy, but the actua

they're leading it corey lewandowski's coming in. he'll be personal envoy or he'll be at some, at some level, they're going to be there they're doing a great job. >> look, we've taken with all of the abuse we've taken from the fake news media, all of this horrific abuse we take all i want to do is make the country get all i want to do is have strong borders and good education. we want to have choice for education. so it puts so many different things you would think it would be the other way we rebuilt the military, we just so many great things. but that's the way it's been for republicans. and i guess more so for me than anybody in history. and that's okay because we're leading in the polls for the most part, we're leading in the polls. we were leading biden by a lot. we're leading now. but i think when she's exposed, i think we're going to beat her by a lot more than we would have beaten biden by because he had a little group of people that have been voting for him for a long time she doesn't have that. people don't know who she is

and corey lewandowski, who is very much the guy that's like, let trump be trouble is back and so youave this incredibly male way of reacting and the women have vanished around to your point, abby, i've been arguing that democrats really need to lean into this issue and really ask the question, is donald trump? well, is he okay. you recall when he was in the white house, his cabinet secretaries and officials were trying to the invoke the 25th amendment because they thought he wasn't well and he was dangerous with his finger on the trigger. so my point is like we need to as a party, continue to ask these questions. is he okay. because it doesn't seem like it's it's comparable to the range and unhinged i mean, look, i don't think that democrats wants to have a conversation about the 25th amendment because then we would have to have a conversation about what vice president know. and when did you know what about the obvious decline of the current president, the current occupants we're going i see. it is not passed and i've said this many times that if joe biden had stood before the countr

. >> but also corey lewandowsky doesn't fit in the chris lacivita, susie wiles mold. >> he is completely separate and i will remind you, he was donald trump's first campaign manager, not his 2016 full time campaign manager, who was fired after a year, brought in because of negative news headlines. he is not the most popular person in the more mainstream area of donald trump's orbit. however, there's been a lot of top among these 2016 loyalists, bringing them back and trying something new particularly after we've seen this change at the top of the ticket the increased enthusiasm and the boost in poll numbers. >> we were we were so much younger than your children, more sleep. and everything seems to come back full circle. scott jennings we have heard over the course of the last, actually, since the last news conference republicans who desperately want the former president to win in november and desperately, i think thought about three weeks ago that he was very clearly on that pathway. same please stay on message i guess my question to that is like i feel like i've been hearing republicans

corey lewandowski is coming in. he will be a personal envoy at some level. they are doing a great job. look, with all of the abuse we have taken from the fake news media, all of this horrific abuse we take, and all them want to do is have strong borders and good education. we want to have choice for education. so many different things. we rebuilt the military. we did so many great things but that is the way it has been republicans and more so for me than anyone in history and that is ok because for the most part we are leading in the polls. we were leading biden by a lot, we are leading now. when she is exposed, we will beat her by a lot more than we would have beaten biden because she has a group of people that have been voting for her for a ng time. people do not know who she is. as far as the personal attacks -- because of what she has done to the country. i am very angry at her that she would weaponize the justice system against me and other people. very angry. i think i am entitled to personal attacks. i do not have a lot of respect for her or her intel

when you're calling corey lewandowski and trying to bring him back into the mix, it's a sign that thelinders. when you have a spokesperson going on tv at 9:30 saying i haven't spoken to the candidate, he's doing press interviews. calling into fox news is not doing media interviews about your policy. >> no. this is also where the harris money advantage really matters because she can use that money while he's off tweeting from the restroom. you know, she can take the time, use the resources that she has, go into parts of the country that he's not going to go, force him to spend money to have to follow her now to wherever she's going to kind of play catchup. at the same time, doubling down on that hate and anger. i said when kamala harris became -- joe biden stepped down and hoifrlz became timothy -- kamala harris became running, he's going be called child of god. we've seen that means. and it's going to continue. the more that he does that it shows the deterioration not just in him but also in the fabric of the campaign, whatever messaging is around him. so that contrast becomes really

guess my question for you is trump's problems aren't that he isn't being trumpy enough, sort of corey lewandowski'sovered. i think everybody but us are sitting in some of truch's events, but it is that people are not buying what trump is selling anymore. how do you look at and how should we look at the next 78 days? >> nicolle, you are exactly right. the truth is this schtick has gotten old. it is the third time the country stopped believing it. you know how i feel about polling. when you look at the polls, we can all agree he is stuck. he is stuck at 46 or 47, he can't move because he has nothing new to tell the american voters and show the american voters. you know, you only get two free moments in a presidential campaign, when you pick your vp and your convention speech. he has blown both of those things, lost both of those opportunities. you know, voters in the first swing state of north carolina get their ballots in 22 days. he's got to change this narrative very, very quickly and, you know, the way you would do that is have a substantive fight. the way you would do it is say, "here is what i'

you can feel that tension coming to the fore with calls to replace the likes of corey lewandowski.nteresting to watch with you trump listens to. is it the growing numbers of commentators sourcing stop in and go back to what you used to do or his own advisors? jonathan: we talk about the differences between these candidates, but can we talk about the similarities? kamala harris copying one of the policies donald trump would like to introduce, no taxes on tips. very different language from the vice presidential candidate on the republican side and the current vice president. jd vance says people who have kid should pay fewer taxes. , harris says we want to bigger child tax credit. tariffs, harris is saying it is a tax. i did not hear anything about removing the tariffs that exist. there are massive differences but there are a lot of similarities between what is on offer from both parties. annmarie: what is clear to me is the child tax credits may be going up. this is populism on both sides. jonathan: coming up we will catch up with bloomberg's bobby gosh with peace talks stalling in

people know this story, eight years ago i was at lunch with charlie and i get a phone call from corey lewandowski5, about two weeks after president trump, then-citizen trump, came down the golden escalators. he called and said we want to do a little event in maricopa county, like 200 people, because we are the first candidate that wants to talk about how bad illegal immigration is in this country. we said absolutely we would love to have you. what became the first trump rally ever in the history books was eight years ago, right here in maricopa county. [applause] it is only fitting that we show the democrats how it is done in glendale back in maricopa county. we have a fight on our hands like no other. turning point action is out in the field right now chasing ballots, identifying voters, registering voters, and ensuring that our country is in a good spot. i need you all to do one thing while you are here, just one thing. do not leave here without one voter registration form. do not leave here without one voter registration form. we have already collected hundreds of our registrants today. but al

we're seeing a campaign shakeup where you bring in corey lewandowsky and other trump loyalists into thethat in august before a presidential election. and if you're a down ballot republican, you have to start thinking about your own political future, particularly if you're in one of these swing districts. how closely do you want to run to president trump when it looks to be what that looks increasingly to be a losing campaign and how do you declare your independence from him and try to at least rescue one or both houses of congress? it's not something that can't be done. we've seen this happen in american politics before, but as i said, you can't run a 2016 election in 2024. we're not listening to the same music. we're not watching the same movies. you can't just think you're going to roll the greatest hits back on now and continue to move forward kilter. >> 18 today, we're ten and 12 years old. when donald trump started running for president. >> they don't want to hear the same things again. >> and that is a great question when you're talking about the youth vote and some of the some of

trump back in corey lewandowski from the 2016 campaign, and there are ramblings about a shakeup there of the bbc. in for joe, mika, and willie. reverend al sharpton is still with us this hour. joining the conversation is the co-founder of all in together and host of "majority rules" on two way, lauren leader. and u.s. national editor at "the financial times", ed luce. katty, it's a good group. >> let's jump straight into the news. it's been a busy weekend. the trump campaign is down playing an expected polling surge for vice president kamala harris after the democratic national convention. in a new memo the campaign calls the wave of momentum seen since the vice president entered the race the harris honeymoon. it also warns that any bump from the vice president will be short lived. quote, post dnc, we will likely see another small, albeit temporary, bounce for harris in the polls. post-convention bounces are a phenomenon that happens after most party conventions. these bumps do not last. the memo mentions past election matchups that have seen post-convention bumps, including hillary c

trump all of a sudden, last week decided, well, hey, let's, let's hire corey and then everyone asked what lewandowski's going to do and no one could quite answer that question when asked that question, donald trump said, he'll be my personal envoy, but no one's ever been able to really define that sense. the best available evidence is that now that the campaign is starting to really grow and turn into a general election posture. they transferred a bunch of staffers from the republican national committee down to palm beach county. they need to just start executing, not planning a new but executing on their plans that they've already made. and lewandowsky will help with that sort of an office it's linebacker of the real higher than the campaign made that should be paid more attention to was taylor budowich, who is an advisor of trump's for a long time, has very good relationships with him with the campaign and with j.d. vance and buddha, which is really going to be playing a large role that a lot of attention has been paid to. but what i'm told by the campaign is that taylor budowich is really going to b
