it is not about president trump and his gross attacks and rhett ricks towards heroes like john mccain when he was running in 2016. he now has a record as a failed commander in chief. whether it was stealing money from military construction funds to build his racist border wall, whether it was trying the ban transgender troops serving around the world. people know whenever donald trump has the chance to put his own domestic till gain to the expense of service members he will do it. it is unacceptable now. the only way to turn it around is to elect and comaer in chief in joe biden who is worthy of the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform make every day. i think that's the message getting through to veterans. >> will goodwin with vote vets. >>> still ahead an effort to fight back in real time on attacks on newly minted vice presidential candidate kamala harris. >>> county by county our road warriors are on the ground with reaction from key voters in battleground states. as we count down to election day. day. kraft. for the win win. start your day with secret. secret stops sweat 3
