to lower housing costs, kamala will cut red tape and work with governors like josh shapiro, as well as the private sector, to build three million new homes. and she will give first-time homebuyers up to $25,000 to help with a down payment. plans, concrete plans. and for a lot of folks, that could be the difference between watching their dreams pass them by, and finally owning a place of their own. to lower health care costs, kamala already worked with joe biden to take on the drug companies and bring down the cost of insulin, and hearing aids, and more than 50 prescription drugs. and as president, she will never stop working to limit out of pocket costs and protect your care. that is who kamala is. she's got a track record of doing it. and here's a big one. instead of giving more tax breaks to billionaires and raising prices on working families, kamala will give a tax cut to 100 million middle class and working people here in america. so, if you are a new parent, you can qualify for a $6,000 tax credit during the first year of your child's life. because, i don't have to tell a lot of y

josh shapiro pennsylvania and wisconsin's tony evers. earlier harris spoke with reporters and was asked a former president trump is so unfit for office as she says wise as ray so close. >> it's an election for president of united states. it's also see a cakewalk for anyone. there's very important issues at play and i'm clear and i think the people you hear in the background are clear that donald trump is unfit for the office spee nenshi give a similar answer to bret baier couple of nights ago. harris sistering to convince moderate suburban voters to support her and shore up, will head back to pick out someone else talk in the state. back to. >> let's go back to romulus michigan. thank you. here's a former president talking to the media. watches. >>> nevada we are doing very well so i guess you see that. that's why you're here and will have a little fun today. reading a speech at the end and it's been very good. >> he was not a good. that's my reaction. >> [inaudible question by the media] what event of a cancelled? i haven't cancelled. s

but that said, i think there's the josh shapiro factor here.eally important state for her. everyday he knows that. essentially if you're sitting in pennsylvania and josh shapiro is popular there, which he is, you have to say to yourself, we lost out to michigan because she is concerned about the muslim noted michigan and that's why she didn't go with josh shapiro. that's my assessment. as a result, somebody who likely could've delivered pennsylvania for her was taken off the table. in the meantime, she then continues to go on this campaign that is completely insubstantial. if you are a comparatively low information voter, somebody doesn't pay deep attention to the news, your impression of her -- i'm sorry -- is just 70 that talks about constellations and things that might've been, and then laughs uncontrollably whenever she doesn't have an answer. again, i don't think americans can envision her as a person with her finger on the button. >> kayleigh: another reason he wasn't chosen, if you believe reporting, is he was asking too many questions a

she had josh shapiro right there and she meant for tim walz instead which brings nothing to the ticketrom that debate last night was obviously outclassed by j.d. vance where this was a master class, by the way to the senator came across as likable and pathetic, knowledgeable, confident joe well tim walz up and especially the first half of that debate appeared nervous, overwhelmed, and rehearsed. so that is where we are at this point. i don't know if it moves the needle, todd, that j.d. vance his favorables went up 25 points in the polls after this debate. trump vance ticket benefited from this night watch by people dan tim walz and kamala harris ticket. >> it put to rest j.d. vance weird nonsense because if that is weird, i will sign up for weird every day of the week. that is what a president should look like. joe concha, thank you for your time and we appreciate it. >> all right come on, my friend. >> todd: the second deadliest hurricane on u.s. mainland and half a century has the death toll surpasses 160. speed to that dental to cosheriff deputies while aiding the search and rescue.

no longer in a position where he can wreak havoc across the globe and take more lives governor josh shapiro, thank you for your time. thank you. anderson quick programming note. >> the former president is now a bit less than an hour away from his solo appearance. now at the al smith memorial dinner here in new york, live pictures. we'll bring you his remarks when they happen just ahead tonight, cnn's donie o'sullivan talks to people who believe that donald trump was

please welcome to the program governor josh shapiro! sir! >> governor shapiro: good to be seen. >> jon: let me tell you something. it has been so long since i have had a guest my size. they come in here with their height. >> governor shapiro: i did this for you. having a good day. trying to help you out. >> jon: that is exactly right. i was reelected for another year. it was that easy. [cheers and applause] the question, it is very clear to me, people are on edge and away i haven't seen in a very long time. in your mind, you are on the ground there. who will be the president of pennsylvania? >> governor shapiro: [laughs] my wife, laurie, will be the president. >> jon: really? >> governor shapiro: it will not be me. >> governor shapiro: she will win. >> jon: either tired of the swing state status, the constant barnstorming of your lovely state of pennsylvania? >> governor shapiro: yes and no. it is close. for those of you out here worrying about this, the last two presidential races in pennsylvania came down to a less than a point. so of cour

alex, this race is razor close and josh shapiro knows that. campaigning across the state vigorously for the vice president in recent weeks. look, he thinks it will absolutely come down to the wire. we will see which way the keystone state will swing. >> what about elon musk? he has been there a lot. what about him and his investment in the state? ♪ >> reporter: interestingly, yesterday josh shapiro did not want to make much comment about what elon musk is doing in the state politically. now elon musk did make a call to the governor a couple weeks ago when he was at the steelers game in pittsburgh. he talked to the governor about making economic investments in the state, completely not tied to the presidential campaign at all. i asked the governor, you know, do you think that elon is serious about making those economic investments here? he thinks he is. alex, he said that was irrespective of politics. they disagree greatly, obviously, on the candidates they are supporting this fall. >> okay, allan smith, thank you so much for joining us. >>> in

the governor of pennsylvania josh shapiro was asked how here's presidency will be different than thency. >> the governor was asked by kristen welker several times in the interview and he did not have a convincing answer about how harris is different from biden and he kept saying she's much different than donald trump, watcher. >> how would her administration look different? >> or been really encouraged by the amount of energy kamala harris, vice president harris has put into focusing on how she will cut taxes for small businesses. >> can you name one policy difference? >> listen, again, the contrast i am focused on is between her and donald trump and on that, it is clearly different. >> the point is people don't want a second biden presidency when it comes to the economy, josh shapiro is a popular democrat and he could not convince voters that harris would not be biden 2.0. stuart: trump is getting through to all kinds of voters first at mcdonald's, then the steelers jets football game in a barbershop in the bronx simply put on the basis of this performance trump is a better campaign

she loses pennsylvania, among the many things that will be discussed is, should she have pick josh shapiro would have, could have, should have for every campaign after this will be quite something. i think this is essentially a race about, if you are the harris campaign, it was less about who was your vice president and more about, and continues to be more about, can we make this race a referendum on donald trump? not on jd vance, but make this all about donald trump. walz does that in his own rallies and events. it has to be the campaign itself making trump the center. david: when the vice president picked as her candidate the governor of minnesota, she chose not to pick the governor of pennsylvania. do you think that made a big difference in terms of how the election will go? amy: no. if she loses pennsylvania by half a point, people will say of course she did, she could have had josh shapiro. he does have the ability to outperform the national ticket. he did in 2016 when he was running statewide. he did in 20 20 when he was running statewide. he does have an appeal that goes beyond what

the democrats, josh shapiro are upset with elon musk because he is a trump supporter.f you look at what is happening with elon musk and you look at what's happening in virginia, the democrats are running sc scared. >> john: we will see if the doj comes after elon musk or not. deep pockets. he could afford some attorneys. leo terrel for us. thank you. >> sandra: school choice front and center in the upcoming election with growing support for challenging public schools dominance on our children's education. william la jeunesse is live in l.a. for us. how has polling change on this issue? >> polling shows 71% of parents now support school choice. up seven points from the last election. it's on the ballot in three states and now 14% of catholic school students use choice programs to help pay their tuition. for many parents this is not a sleeper issue, it's a difference maker because they would rely on these public launchers savings accounts or tax credits to help pay for private school religious or not. 1 million are now enrolled in these choice programs. trump supports it

many democrats were hoping that josh shapiro got on the ticket. walz got on it.ke conversation with top democrats, they need him to come through and his appeal to western p.a. >> cecilia: you were talking to the walz-harris campaign, who do they feel like they need to win over? >> major was talking about blogs. you're going to see more blobs over the next month in michigan and wisconsin because walz is a midwesterner and he's been in michigan for the last several days doing debate prep there. that's no accident. we have been seeing him at football games. he was at the minnesota-michigan game. seeing him at farms and fall fests. i saw him buying a pumpkin the other day. he's out there in his plaid and his flannel making the case "i'm one of you" because those are pivotal states. as john delano was pointing out, half of pennsylvania kind of falls into that midwestern bucket. that's who they are hoping he appeals to tonght. we were talking about some of the darkness. what walz has brought to the ticket, democrats argue, is this notion of joy. he talked about republi

josh shapiro reacting when he first heard the audio. >> i'll give you my first reaction to it. i would never insult the good people of pennsylvania or any americans, even if they chose to support a candidate that i didn't support. >> reporter: while trump and his supporters responding in real time, learning about the remark mid rally from senator marco rubio. >> just moments ago, joe biden stated that our supporters are garbage. >> that's terrible. >> reporter: trump comparing the remark to hillary clinton's 2016 comment calling trump supporters deplorables. >> garbage, i think, is worse, right? >> reporter: but trump has his own long history of divisive rhetoric, including these comments attacking democrats. >> this is a sick group of people. i'm telling you. and there's a gareat evilness. >> reporter: and ryerepeatedly referring to opponents as enemies from within. while distancing himself from the comments from the comedian. >> i don't want anybody making nasty jokes or stupid jokes. probably he shouldn't have been there, yeah. >> reporter: news from nicky jam who endorsed t

i just talked to a key harris surrogate pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. tell me here. if you'll hear what he told me about that, that's next pizza everyday, plus unlimited topics. >> but does the budget even exist for that ethan, why are we not talking about the fact that my opponent has coatings >> it didn't my cola guard is for people 45 plus at average risk, not high risk, false positive and negative results may occur greene for colon cancer in your home, your way your provider for the guard. >> some people just know they can save hundreds on car insurance by checking all state first like you know to check your schools saying first before saying >> so checked all state first for a vote. you could save you hundreds today, let's paint with bare america's most trusted aide brand name. >> we don't have very well with bare. you can paint a whole room for under $100. how much did you spend more? >> i thought you said your research this don't ever pay for your next project, get better quality at every a low price, only at the home depot meet the traveling trio. the thrill

reaction pouring into sinwa's death on the senate shows pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. >> i am glad he is dead. it is my hope that can bring some modicum of peace to the families of victims of those on october 7. it is also my hope this could perhaps create the opportunity for a pause in the fighting. that the hostages can come home and that we can have a cease-fire. >> senator lindsey graham. >> there is a window here not only to end the fighting but to replace hamas forever. and the way you do that is you have a normalization between saudi arabia and israel with the death of sinwa the doors now open. >> we await israel's response he on a precedent ballistic missile attack by a run earlier this month the pentagon is investigating an unauthorized release of highly classified documents that access israel's war plans to attack iran for the documents are tribute to the national geo space intelligence agency that oversees the country spy satellites and the national security agency. document show israel moving military assets into place to conduct the reptile tory strike against iran. re

including some folks we need working with your outstanding governor, who you just heard from, governor josh shapiroreminder, we focus a lot on federal elections because that is, you know, it is a presidential election year but also a reminder there are statehouses up for grabs. >> america's policy is made in state legislatures. this particular cycle, well, actually, 2022 is where i feel like i got the rush of excitement and funding. we saw a lot of infusion into state legislative races, republicans have been doing this for years and, you know, the chairman will let us know but the democrats have been playing catch up over the last couple years and suddenly this is where some of the biggest battles are. >> i got 1000 seats in the state legislatures in 2010. so she is absolutely right about that. >> getting 1000 seats and a point of consternation for his democratic friends for a while. folks, don't go anywhere. there is another hour of "the weekend" straightahead . the former cia director john brennan will be here. be sure to follow our show on social media. our handle everywhere is @theweekendmsnbc.

to donald trump's allegations of voter fraud in his state, pennsylvania's democratic governor, josh shapirod out that he, shapiro was the state's attorney general back in 2020 when trump repeatedly attack the elections process in pennsylvania and tried to overturn the results there. shapiro says that at that time, trump i went over 43 in his court cases in pennsylvania. wolf, brian todd reporting. brian, thanks very much. and to our viewers thanks for watching erin burnett outfront starts right now dueling rallies in nevada as harris season it's onru

here is josh shapiro reacting to the generous offer with my colleague kristen welker. >> when you start of money into politics i think it raises serious questions that folks might want to take a look at. >> just the latest example of elon musk openly trying to tip the scales in the selection. here he was last week spreading lies on voter fraud. dropping the name of a certain voting machine company we suddenly kept hearing about in 2020. >> there are some very strange things that happened that are statistically incredibly unlikely. so there is the question of the voting machines. it is weird. i think they are used in philadelphia and maricopa county, but and not a lot of other places. does this seem like a coincidence? we should only do paper ballots hand-counted. that is it. >> a tired trope at this point. four years later repeating the same lies we heard on fox, and we know how that turned out for them. it cost them nearly $800 million. there is no way around it he has become a one-man super spreader of disinformation. it does not end there. is packed is also hard at work trying to dec

governors including michigan governor gretchen whitmer 20 years of wisconsin and pennsylvania's josh shapiro. the vice president ripped her opponent for cancelling events because he was reportedly exhausted that is something for the former president 9. harris also pitched autoworkers promising to continue this administration's spending on converting old auto factories to support electric vehicle manufacturing. skeena contrary to what my opponent is suggesting, i will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive but here's what i will do. i will invest in manufacturing communities like kent county. >>> harris is trying to draw moderate suburban voters from republicans to support her while also showing up support among constituencies typically back democrats by very wide margins, like arab-americans were critical of now the administrating supporting israel and black voters. the vice president was in michigan earlier this week to meet with black entrepreneurs and for a radio interview with charlamagne tha god. harris is scheduled to campaign in detroit tomorrow with lizzo is the city begin

the left weston's who the base, but the left wing of the party thought was more moderate, like a josh shapiro or any bashir she picked the most progressive option of that and then days later i was in michigan when she rally with walz and she got protested by gaza protesters. and so i don't think that she's running on medicare covering home prayer. she is running on some progressive ideas, some progressives are not happy that she's not running on more, not talking, burning. >> sanders wanted including bernie sanders. >> yeah. the ads are about that. but they are fishing in this pond of frustrated republicans because the left has been really ordinary about do not getting all of its demands from this campaign and not getting any new position on gaza before the election. so part of that is saying, even if you're frustrated by that, please just wait nine days, don't vote third-party. you you're going to see what happens with trump. yeah. let's see if that appeal actually works, right. >> we'll learn sooner enough. all right. coming up to polling but it's chair, join us and they share what they're

on the air on in the summer that on october 20 the fifth, she will probably wish it's you pick josh shapiroen though i know there were a lot of other issues that might have come up with his candidacy. and here we are on october 25, and michigan, i think looks pretty good for her. wisconsin is right at the tipping point to go either way. but democrats do have a strong organization there and pennsylvania looks like you know, kind of the decisive battleground in this election. and the question will be, if you look at philadelphia, the force suburban counties outside philadelphia and allegheny, biden won them by 910,000 votes. okay and won the state by 80,000. trump is probably going to win the rest of the state by more than the 830,000 he did last time. and the question will be whether harris can pump up the margins just a little bit more in those six big counties, as well as the lehigh valley, to some extent, but mostly those six counties and, you know, if josh shapiro was on the ticket, this conversation will be a little different about who has the electoral college advantage yeah, it defini

donald trump whipped up his supporters who stormed the capitol on january 6 pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and senator elizabeth warren are here joining me live i mean, while donald trump is back in pennsylvania tonight, which i should note has the largest puerto rican population of any of the battleground states that is the crisis and the fallout from his racist rally is continuing tonight. as trump is describing what happened at madison square garden as an absolute lovefest kaitlan collins. and this is the source capital tonight where vice president harris just made her closing message of this campaign with only seven days left to go. in the same spot, or donald trump told his supporters to fight like hell on january 6 before they did just that on capitol hill, as lawmakers were trying to certify the 2020 results harris tonight was seeking to remind voters of the deadly assault from that day. while also issuing a call for unity. you can see the crowd choose speaking to here in washington, it was a massive audience. there as she was laying out her view of the stakes of this election a wee

joining us now, the pennsylvania governor, josh shapiro. governor, thanks so much for joining us. what do you think your friend, your colleague, governor walz, needs to accomplish on the debate stage stage tonight, what does a successful night look like? >> look, i think tim just seems to be himself just to go out there and talk about his love for this country. talk about his record of accomplishment and most importantly, talk about kamala harris's vision for this nation. i trust he'll do a great job and on the other side, i mean, you've got j.d vance, a guy who frankly wolf isn't being honest with himself every day. and so it's real hard to be honest with the american people real hard to be authentic and genuine when you're struggling internally as j.d. vance clearly is so i expect tim walz to do quite well tonight and he's going to be an outstanding vice president. >> people who have spoken to governor walz have told cnn he's nervous about facing senator vance. how high is the pressure? and governor walz to perform well tonight? >> look, i think all these moments are high pressu
