let's go to former dnc chair donna brazile. so donna, you have certainly studied many a debate in your career. how does this one compare? >> i think it was one of the best debate performances i've ever seen in my life. and i've seen a lot. and i've helped a lot of people prepare for these big moments. she met the moment. she seized the opportunity to tell the american people what she would do during her four years. she commanded the issues. and she did not allow the former president to bait her. instead she led the way forward. she turned the page. and i think this race is about to get even more interesting now. >> we will see if it moves the needle, donna. thank you. >> all right. over to the other side now. former rnc chair reince priebus. all right. reince, the harris campaign says they want another debate. if you were advising the trump campaign, would you tell them to do it? >> sure. i would tell them to do it. and the reason is like i said before, donald trump's numbers just don't move. i mean, the reality tonight, i know

we're joined by our abc powerhouse political team, former dnc chair donna brazile, former trump chief with you. you've debated trump six times. you've helped prep him for debates. how did he do tonight? and did kamala harris rattle him? >> look, he was wholly unprepared. how he couldn't have spent 75% of his time talking about the economy is beyond me, regardless of whatever questions he was getting asked. he chased every rabbit down every hole. byron. she was very well prepared and she laid traps for him. you know, she talked about his rallies and people leaving his rallies. any of us who know donald trump well know there's no way that he was going to avoid then disputing that. so he spends, you know, 90s on how he's got the biggest rallies in the history of american politics. rather than talking about how the high cost of energy and the high cost of groceries are destroying american families. i mean, you know, he was awful tonight. she, on the other hand, was very well prepared. now, i still don't like the fact that she won't answer certain questions directly. and i think she'd actu

just what it is that donna brazile says there.our democracy that falls to the vice president. what a sharp contrast to imagine what that looks like with our current vice president kamala harris. if you extend into the future where you potentially have a vice president jd vance needing to do the same and potentially being asked to do what former vice president pence was asked to do. >> i think the country needs to wake up to the day after this election. again, donald trump said two nights ago at a rally that the only way he will lose this election is if it was stolen. he's doing it again. he's attacking our elections again. he's inciting violence again. only one of these candidates will not accept the result in four or five weeks. the country needs to wake up to that that is going to lead to further violence. >> joe walsh, molly jong-fast. thank you for being with us. tune in tonight for the special black women in america the road to 2024. they explore how black women are thinking about the elects and what candidates can do to earn

you mentioned donna brazile, revealed when she was a contributor at cnn she had suggested to the clinton campaign some of the potential topics that may be brought up at a town hall. >> it wasn't a debate. but it all gets mumbled together here. donald trump uses that seed of one particular thing, they weren't questions, they were potential topics, to suggest that kamala harris is going to have the questions were sent to her. he was suggesting that kamala harris cannot complete a sentence. he's setting the bar low for her. he did that back in june, and he's confident and believes that he is in the best to go and be able to make the case to the american public in a way that he is able to effectively do that he's the better one positioned to take the white house. >> we were talking about this with isaac, who is going to be able to paint the other as the incumbent? how is donald trump going to go after that? a lot of policies are the same ones he had in place in 2017? >> exactly. part of this, what we were talking about, eight blocks down the road, ran over here from midtown, manhattan, speak

and donna brazile is there, she gave hillary clinton the questions. that was a little embarrassing. i assume she got fired for that. but now she's working at abc. i said i will do it anyway. even if she knows the answers and the questions, i don't think she will be very good. this is not what our country once prayed i feel i have an obligation to do it. she would never stand up here and give a news conference and speak about what is happening with the weaponization of our justice system. the weaponization of justice at a level that nobody has ever seen in this country before. we have never seen it. you see it in third world countries, banana republics, but you don't see it in the u.s. and it is. a very sad thing and i think i'm doing a great disservice by having gone through it and revealing it. we came out with an indictment from the district attorney, which again, just revealed today, the southern district of new york was -- this is a very highly respected group of people -- he said it was a disgrace that the case was brought in front marchand. the case is a disgrace. should have

and we will feature conversations with people like kerry washington, the political strategist donna brazil and others and we will explore how black women are thinking about the selection and what the candidates can do to earn their votes in november. you will be surprised by some of what you hear and you can watch black women in america the road to 2024 sunday at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc and streaming on peacock the next day. on that note, i wish you a very very good night and from all of our colleagues across the network thank you so much for staying up late. i will see you this weekend. >>> thank you at home for joining us as our. josh stein will join us as our. you have heard a lot about a man named mark robinson the trump endorsed republican candidate for governor north carolina and the gentleman who cnn reported recently described himself years ago as a . he praised hitler and called for the return of slavery in the washington post reported on him praising mein kampf. mark robinson the republican candidate for governor denies all of it but i should note he has said explic

. >> donna brazile is working there but they are anticipating 15 and she's memorized long answers tog and if you try to recite from memory it never works. larry: did you see the movie "reagan"? >> excellent movie. everybody should go see it. larry: you're a famous movie critic. >> not a big budget hollywood movie because they would never touch this but really well done. very important film. larry: historically accurate. >> and it was, for those that are younger, reagan's early days they were trying to find communists and get them out of government. now it's the other way around. if you aren't a communist you are shunned. larry: there was a big piece of that movie which is important from paul kengore's book, a very good book. reagan perging the screen actor's guild with the encouragement of his boss jack warner. >> a union guy. larry: five times president, piloted through a strike but through the communist out of the union had to go testify several times. i mean, i think people should see this movie, because they need to see what can be done, what strength and what a crusader can do.

former dnc chair donna brazile, former rnc chair and trump white house chief of staff, reince priebust, asma khalid, and new yorker writer, susan glasser. quite a week. donna, you were ecstatic after the debate, and kamala harris' performance, i think you said it was one of the best debate performances you've ever seen in your life, and yet the needle didn't really move overall. >> martha, i didn't expect the needle to move. what i expected was the vice president to give a strong, solid debate performance. look. she came into that debate knowing that donald trump was going to spew lies. he was going to probably bait her. instead from the moment she shook his hand, which i thought was very presidential, to the way in which she landed her arguments, she made the best out of that 90 minutes. she was able to once again, solidify the democratic party because that was a big challenge coming from the transition from biden to harris. 95% of democrats believe in this abc poll, that she did well. only 75% of republicans believe that trump did well, but you know what the icing is on the cake? if

former dnc chair donna brazile, former rnc chair, reince priebus, "wall street journal" reporter viviannews washington bureau chief, rick klein. donna, you see our poll. it certainly looks a lot better for democrats than it did when joe biden was at the top of the ticket, but no real convention bounce. this race is basically tied, maybe a slight lead for harris. >> the republicans didn't get a bounce. we didn't get a bounce, but you know what? we've gotten a boost, a boost of energy, a boost of excitement, which allows us to close some of the gaps that rick pointed out in the analysis of the poll. i'm very satisfied with where things are, but there's room to grow. this candidate, kamala harris, the vice president of the united states, joined this race on july 21st. today is september 1st. it's been 42 days. 42 days of closing the gap, putting out policy positions on everything from where she's going to lead the country on the economy, what she's going to do differently in terms of health care, and yes, she's addressed some of to those foreign policy issues that senator graham convenient

they even have donna brazile. remember her? she's a real beauty.onna brazile, she gave hillary clinton the questions. do you remember that? and she works for abc and she's at the roundtable talking about the debate. so, we're going to watch very closely but you're not allowed to do. we even have a clause in the contract. you can't give them the questions but i probably -- i'm not sure if she's going to help her that much though. you might give her the questions and give her the answers with the questions. i'm not sure it's going to help her. i don't know. [laughter] host: back to the calls now to jim in winter park, florida. do you think the debates matter? caller: i think they would matter if they were fair. in all honesty, if the debates were handled by let's say moderators from both sides, you would have a much fairer debate. but what's going to happen tonight is they're going to attack trump just like the democrats affect trump for his january 6 for things that he has said because he does say stupid things. he talks about things that he can aff

because donna brazile, who happens to be at abc, gave hillary clinton the questions from cnn. you remember that you probably don't you too young. but that's what happened i great with the debates. and i think they've answered everything. but maybe if i got in the right mood, i don't know. now i'm leading and i'm leading in every single on the debates. thank you. johnson you said that, but if you break, what do you think? i mean kamala harris, for the first time, it's kamala harris. still dumb as a rock. what are you telling? i love this thing. i love those hispanics. again. tell them how well i'm doing with hispanics. mr. president, what are you invited to the outset? what would you think of shut down? what do you mean? in a couple of harris for the first time. about ♪

so let's bring in donna brazile, formerly of the dnc, and reince priebus, the rnc. have said that kamala harris has to own the future. but she also has to own the past. so how does she do this? >> it's quite easy because i do believe that in talking about the future you draw from your past. you draw from your past experiences. she draws from how she was raised. the values that was instilled in her as a young lady. look, she is steady on her feet, steely in her resolve, and tonight she should talk to the american people. sit in their living rooms. go to their kitchen table and say look, i have some ideas that i want to share with you. there's so much that we have done together over the last four years, but here's what i think we can do together over the next four years, be positive in her approach and really remind the american people we don't want to go back to the chaos and the confusion, the disaster that made of course the american people go out in droves in 2020 to fire the former president. say i want to be a president that leads all americans. i want to keep i

donna brazile, the first black woman to ever run a presidential campaign.rris' first chief of staff. a long-time democratic party strategist who orchestrated many things for the party. of course, the 2008 and 2016 ceo of the democratic national convention. >> melissa, what did you guys find were the issues that were driving their motivation this election? >> there were a lot of issues, mika. obviously, reproductive rights was at the top. they also spoke about police violence, student loan relief, the difficulties of first-time homeownership. what we found was that, despite the fact that there was a black woman at the top of the ticket, they weren't necessarily animated by affection for any particular candidate. rather, were wondering whether their disaffection for politics as usual would actually keep them home. so they were looking for a reason to get up on tuesday, november 5th, to get to the polls. >> melissa, is the history-making nature of harris' bid playing a role here at all? like, i think there is an assumption it would. tell us what you found. als
