joining us now is nbc's maura barrett. ura, do any of these campaigns feel they made a dent in trump's lead? >> reporter: well, jose, the reality of that question is it would be very hard to bridge that gap, that three-point plus lead that former president trump has in the polls right now. last night was very much a competition between the remaining candidates trying to edge each other out. and we did see, like you mentioned, a lot of talking over each other, a lot of interruptions, to try to make sure each candidate could get their standout moment. there was a battle of who really stood out. there was a few key moments between nikki haley you saw there, vivek ramaswamy and south carolina senator tim scott, who was more outspoken this debate than we saw last time. in talking to the campaigns yesterday around the debate, the key thing they were all focusing on is because they had this moment on the campaign stage, this was really an opportunity for voters to get to know them, to get their name i.d. out there. even though the

. >> that's where we will stop that video nbc news correspondent maura barrett is following this storywas released to the public. what are they saying now it that it has been made public? >> this happened, this was released about a week after the incident happened. the family saying that they're suffering an im measurable amount of grief, given that this started with an accusation of shoplifting, and ended in their grand daughter and family member's death. she also leaves behind two sons. and we've learned that her baby who was due in november, her family says, also did not survive the incident. i want to read you some of the statement that the family released to us after they saw the video. they said, having viewed the footage in its entirety, it is undeniable that ta'kiya's death was not only avoidable, but also a gross misuse of power and authority. they're calling for a swift indictment, of this officer, for the killings of both ta'kiya and her unborn daughter. now, this is something that we have been waiting for in the last week, because we heard from police, and they've given us

nbc's maura barrett joins me now with the latest.rter: well, chris, simply put, abortion is available again for people here in wisconsin. appointments filled here in milwaukee, and madison, planned parenthood saying they're seeking to expand what they can provide in other locations as well, and this has just been, as you pointed out, a kind of hazy interpretation over the last year because providers were worried that they could be held accountable, prosecuted by law enforcement because of that interpretation of that 1849 law. now, there has been some shifts politically in the courts here in wisconsin over the summer, which is what's triggered all of this new interpretation to that ruling. we heard over the summer the dane county clerk circuit court, excuse me, the judge had issued a ruling saying that that specific law didn't apply to consensual voluntary abortions and that way planned parenthood is able -- they're hinging their decision on that ruling, but it's important to note that litigation is still very much in effect. we expec

joining us now, maura barrett, also with us is cedric alexander, former public safety director to dekalbnt obama's task force on 21st century policing. what more have we learned about this? >> jose, this is the first time we're seeing this body cam footage from the incident that happened on august 24th. just about a week has passed since we learned of 21-year-old ta'kiya young's death. from what we're seeing in the video, it shows a very hectic situation outside a kroger grocery store in blendon township, outside of columbus, ohio. what you're seeing on the screen, two officers were already in the parking lot helping assist in an unlocked car situation before an employee apparently ran out of the store and pointed at ta'kiya young as one of the suspects of an apparent theft. apparently a group of people that were involved. but the other members of the group, police say, fled via vehicle. you see one of the officers standing outside the driver's side door, telling young to get out of the car before the second officer stands in front of the vehicle. and then at that point after she refuses

maura barrett joins us from the debate site. elise jordan is back with us. they think voters want to hear tonight? >> reporter: the reality is, chris, according to new nbc news polling, 58% of likely republican primary voters still prefer that former president trump be the leader of the republican party. the campaigns are very much aware of that, but they are taking this opportunity on the debate stage to try and breakthrough. i just spoke with nikki haley's campaign and vivek ramaswamy's campaigns. they're focusing on the chance to get their name out there, increase their name i.d. with voters. but of course president trump will be that elephant in the room, still very much twirling around the ether as much as candidates are trying to avoid those conversations, it's something likely to be brought up. mike pence addressed a question about that fraud ruling and tried to work his way around it. take a listen. >> i'm not familiar with the judge's ruling, but i think judgments about the president, you know, can be made by any american, but you know, at the end of

maura barrett joins us from outside a planned parenthood clinic.cts beyond the state you're in, wisconsin, can you walk us through where this all stands right now. >> reporter: yeah, i can't underscore enough how significant of a shift this is when it comes to all of the political conversation we've been having over abortion the last year and all of this stems from a law that was put in place that has hazy interpretation from 1849. the reason why it feels confident to resume those abortion services today is because the state has a liberal leaning supreme court. the litigation is still ongoing but because they've seen that the political landscape here has shifted a little bit in a more liberal-leaning favor, planned parenthood feel confident in this decision. >> you're talking about policy, what kind of impact could have this on people, women, as well as the healthcare system in wisconsin? >> reporter: well, here in milwaukee and over in madison the planned parenthood are offerings appointments for people seeking abortions. the bigger question is ar
