joey: donald trump in bozeman, montana, last night joined by fellow republican tim sheehy as part ofrace against his democratic opponent jon tester, and tim sheehy joins us now. good morning, thank you for joining us. first of all, thank you for your service. you were there last night with president trump. looks like he was there primarily to push for your election. what was the energy like and how are montana dance responding to president trump? -- montanans to president trump? >> as usual at these rallies, you know, the energy was fantastic. our move is to -- the vibe is so positive, it's so loving. people are happy to be around each other, they're proud to be americans, and they're optimistic about the future of the country. their eyes are wide open that we have challenges we have to navigate, but they're also optimistic that together we can do it, and our movement has the right answers to do so. so i was happy to have him here in montana, and i think montanan if s responded well. joey: you're challenging an incumbent senator, but if you look at the polls right now, you have the h

he is in montana to support tim sheehy who is running for a key us senate seat and bbc news confirmede first debate between the presidential candidates as agreed on 10 september. joining me live is politics editor at the washington monthly, bill scher. good to have you on bbc news tonight. we have the split screen again of the two rivals are different rallies and events also started with kamala harris and tim walz in arizona at another packed stadium there. it seems like the democrats believe there is a key battleground state is now in play? i key battleground state is now in -la ? ~ key battleground state is now inla? in play? i think democrats believe all _ in play? i think democrats believe all the _ in play? i think democrats. believe all the battleground sees are in play for them. there was a sense whenjoe biden was still going to be the nominee that he was left with a narrow path to the minimum 270 votes and that was the rustbelt path of michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin and even the polls are looking dicey. ever since kamala harris has become the nominee, she has improved th

that's where he plans to campaign for navy seal tim sheehy a republican senate candidate who is hopingunseat incumbent democrat montana senator jon tester held office since 2007 and isn't endorsing kamala harris. >> it's a race that could decide the against of the senate. and we caught up with sheehy as he greeted supporters outside the rally venue. >> some people wondering why trump would come out here, not really a battleground state for the presidency. it is obviously a battleground for the senate. just kind of hammer that point. >> that's exactly right. he understands that for his administration to be successful in the second term he has to have a senate that's ready on day one to have a america first agenda and that's where we are going to get him. >> thousands of trump supporters were lined up outside the venue early friday morning. more than 10 hours ahead of the rally start time tonight. they say trump is playing to win and will need a republican controlled senate. >> montana is the best state in the nation. all these people want trump. we are going to get rid of tester. get th

he is a great business leader as well, that's right tim sheehy's position to be the 51st seat to maketrolled the majority for the republic of the u.s. senate. jon: let me ask about ohio. i'm sure our viewers are wondering how donald trump can win ohio overwhelmingly nj deviance can be from ohio and the ticket and sherrod brown is the other senator. sherrod brown is not a moderate he's a full-fledged liberal, he is not joe manchin he is a full-fledged liberal. how does the same state produce jd vance and troy brown. >> i could not agree more with your assessment this is because of money. the democrats are pouring so much money into ohio in montana, cover-up their liberal positions in the liberal both have taken in kalama harris is has cast more tie-breaking votes than any other vice president in our nations history. 33, that's a massive multi trillion dollar stimulus package and inflation reduction act, borrowed money and remember sherrod brown and jon tester have voted with kamala harris 100% of the time. by the way if you like san francisco politics. you love kamala harris, i served

enable seal, combat veteran, true conservative, president trump is going to do well, tim sheehy wille jon tester to pick up a seat, jd vance in ohio, bernie moreno, terrific candidate i believe we will pick up a seat, more than 80 opportunities around the country, solid conservative republican candidates. we'll make sure there's a better life for the people in the state and a better life for people in america. that's argument we need to go ahead all the way through november. trey: saturday it is clear to me, if nothing else is clear she does not like the title border czar, shot to come up with an explanation and i guarantee you it will be the senate bill would've fixed everything but the house killed it. what should the gop response to that be, you and i both know that's what she's going to say. >> she's a dangerously liberal open border vice president, 10 million illegal immigrants have come into this country under her watch and she's been the border czar and were talking about people, history, criminal cartels, drug dealers, people on the terrorist watch list, people that come into

he's going to try to help tim sheehy and i think sheehy is struggling., that guy is from -- and i'm from minnesota too, claimed he was from rural minnesota. he actually grew up in a wealthy suburb in a multimillion dollar home 15 minutes from the mall of america, and he's running against a guy who owns farming equipment older than him as long as he has been in the state, jon tester is someone who is a third generation farmer whose family has been there since 1912, and sheehy is going to try to turn the state, try to turn public lands over to locals and turn it into a playground for the rich. look, it's a question of montana values in this particular senate race. i don't know that trump is going to help very much going out there, but i get it. he's going to try to rally the base. >> so matt, the cook political report says that harris's popularity has made it easier for democrats in battlegrounds to, as they put it, outrun the top of the ticket. several swing states, particularly in the sun belt went from leaning trump to tossup. do you see this as a honey

joining me now is montana senate candidate tim sheehy.being here. well, kamala of course broke the tie in the senate on the green new deal, also known as the inflation reduction act. it was a $1.2 trillion policy. your opponent, the guy you're running against, senator john tester wrote right after he voted for the inflation reduction act said it would unleash american energy securing montana's energy future going on to say would expand offshore oil and gas leasing in alaska, and the gulf of mexico. you know, i remember it was just a few months ago that they took about 13 million acres of drilling land off the table in alaska, so it certainly hasn't done that. how about in montana has it affected the industry at all? >> of course it does. the keystone xl pipeline would have been a multi-billion dollar economic boom for eastern montana and our largest source of cheap power in the state, coal strip, which is one of the largest coal deposits in that region of the country. there's 3,000 years of coal left in that mine and every day death by a

i get he wants to help tim sheehy in montana. but montana is not a swing state not even close at this point. every day you're not in a swing state or is it a wasted day? >> no, not if you're raising money and that's what he appears to be doing. like, remember there's a key component to this. it's also you have to raise money and he's in montana raising money. he's making them fundraising pitch in the west and that's what you need to be doing. you need to do in rallies in states that matter, you need to be doing rallies and states as part of your coalition, which the us senate seats part of his coalition. but you also need to be investing time and raising money, which is what they're doing is that he has at a rally this week what's that? he has ended a rally this week in a swing state and raising money all week. >> i mean, if you if you look at the numbers that just came out there, they're hitting record numbers. >> i mean, he has been raising money. he's had jd sort of take the lead. that's why you have a vp nominee sort of take

and we're going to send tim sheehy back to minnesota suburbs tester is the was the best way to say it. testers the last standing democrat elected statewide and montana is it shifting? i mean, you were what were you you were the only democratic governor elected in a state at the same time that trump won in 16. i mean, what are you went like by 20 points? so you know how to defy the odds. you worked at then. but are things shifting in montana look, i think 2020 with covid with everything was difficult but the beauty of it is that montana's do know jon tester you know, we are folks to say more important than who the party is, who's going to represent me and what tester is done. >> all every step of the way is actually represents the concerns those worried about public lands where tim sheehy wants to shut them down. those are veterans public education, and making sure that women continue to have access to reproductive health care. and those are the things that jon tester's done and those are also the things that matter lots of montana's you've got another interesting aspect in connection

they like me, but i'm here to do some fundraisers and most importantly, to support tim sheehy, who's running for the u.s. senate there you go. >> the harris campaign meantime, is looking to capitalize on that choice putting out a statement today which reads, quote donald trump has not visited a swing state this week and apparently isn't visiting any next week either. saying he's too lazy to fight for anything but himself or leave his country club fine by us. trump for his part, did note in his new video tomorrow he will be doing quote, different stops, different states, but didn't elaborate. so it's not clear as of now where he'll be. as for harris, as i noted, she is in that battleground state of arizona tonight, a state that donald trump won in 2016 and which biden turned blue in 2020. our reporters are covering all of this for us tonight. let's begin with eva mckend, who is in glendale, arizona at that harris rally. so the crowd is is waiting at this point what are you seeing and hearing there, getting a little loud behind you there eva it sure. is erica every inch of this arena f

trump is in bozeman for a rally tonight to support a republican senate candidate tim sheehy. this comes as newly released body camera video shows the moment officers encountered the gunman who tried to kill trump. >> this close vote return around on >> the video shows an officer being hoisted up by another onto the roof and then that officer saw the shooter and fell back or ducked back down before running away. moments later, the gunman fired 8 shots from an air 15 rifle hitting the former president in the year killing a rally-goer and injuring 2 other people. there. motive for the shooting remains unclear. >> will abortion be a top issue in the 2024 election? former president donald trump says no. but the harris campaign in many advocacy groups disagree as president trump appointed 3 consecutive conservative justices who helped overturn roe versus wade, leaving abortion access up to the states which trump says is where it should be. but a spokesperson for planned parenthood says the patchwork of abortion restrictions across the country deprives too many women of essential he

guest: trump was just out there hoping to shore up tim sheehy. jon tester is going for his fourth term in the senate. he has 13 pretty competitive elections in 2006, 2012, and 2018. that's the story with the map overall, the senate is cyclical. go back to six years each time and democrats have had a number of good elections on that map. the last time they had a bad one was 1994, the classic republican wave year when republicans took the house and the senate. it's been a long time. democrats were playing almost exclusively defense. west virginia, the state of joe manchin, already on, trump is going to carry that state probably where there is not as much ticket splitting is there used to be. you can go down the line, what are the most competitive races? montana, ohio, michigan, nevada, pennsylvania, wisconsin. democrats would have to win all of them just to try to salvage a tie in the senate. maybe democrats could credibly compete for texas or florida, current republican held seats, but it's all democratic events. so there are avenues for republica

many voters as he can so we can elect people like sam brown in nevada and kari lake in arizona and tim sheehy in montana or ohio, states not just presidential. two are, president trump will win easily in montana and ohio. other states like nevada and arizona, dave mccormick in pennsylvania, eric hovde in wisconsin. some of these places we have candidates who haven't held office before and not career politicians like brown in ohio, so they are still introducing themselves to voters. totally normal to see them a little behind in the polls. one thing to look at is where the democratic incumbents are. if you look at brown in ohio campaigning this weekend or tester in montana where i will be. they can't get close to 50% because the people in those states know that brown and tester vote with joe biden and kamala harris almost 100% of the time. >> dana: we appreciate you. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> every day when we come home we have to do this. every time we go outside to take out the garbage and every time we try to go to bed at night we have to keep it like this so nobody can k

and, in fact, the real clear political average has his opponent, republican tim sheehy, up in the pollster is down. then you have the other vulnerable democrat in trump country which is sherrod brown of ohio. he has endorsed harris, and he may skip the dnc. stuart: i think trump's going to montana -- lauren: i believe on friday. stuart: i think so. he knows who's vulnerable. thanks, lauren. check pooches, please. what we're checking on here is the bounceback -- check futures, please. how solid is it. the dow's up 120 to, s&p 20 and the nasdaq up 79 points. coming up, remember when harris said she could do a better job than trump the on the border crisis? >> donald trump has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk. but when i am president, i will work to actually solve the problem. stuart: okay. a scathing new report veals the biden and harris administration -- reveals the biden and harris administration let nearly a hundred illegal migrants on the terror watch list enter the united states. morgan ortagus takes that one on. >>> just last week bide

tell me they're not concerned about him winning in november, but he came here instead to stomp for tim sheehy businessman as well as a former navy seal, and he's locked in a tight senate and it race with jon tester, the long serving democratic senator of montana, and really, when i talked to people on the ground as well as people on capitol hill, they say this is one of the most it's hardest fought races in the battle for the senate. majority. now, i actually caught up with steve daines, a senator from montana as well as the chairman of the national so republican senatorial committee. and he told me that he was the one who actually privately encouraged donald trump to come here. he said, we know it's not a battleground, but this race it's incredibly important so a lot of reasoning for why he wanted to come here tonight. now, we did see donald trump mentioned she he as well as give shout-outs to both him and others republican lawmakers. but most of his speech really mirrored what we heard him do on thursday at his press conference in florida he attacked harris over immigration crime flation, b

. >> trump was in montana, in part to campaign for tim sheehy, republican candidate for senate, going up against jon tester, a guy who trump dislikes very much. harris's search in the presidential race has forced trump to be on the defensive. enthusiasm for her campaign has led to record-breaking numbers and amounts of donations, which has resulted in here is having a lot more cash on hand that her republican opponent. that may be one of the reasons why trump has spent a lot of time attending private fundraisers lately, instead of hitting campaign trails with his embattled running mate, j.d. vance. the former president has struggled to figure out an effective strategy to attack harris. his recent attempt to question her blackness completely backfired and none of the nicknames he has been testing out for her has stuck so far. he has called her incompetent and dumb, claiming she can't string two sentences together and criticized her for not holding a crest press conference or send out for an interview since becoming a party's nominee. okay. here is trump trying to stream two sentences t

november, but he instead chose to come here and serve a battleground because he was stumping for tim sheehy, the republican senate candidate. now he is locked in a tight senate race with the longtime democrat john tester. and it's really cool considered one of the hardest fought battles for control of the senate majority come the fall. now, senator steve daines of steve daines of montana, the chairman of the national republican senatorial committee was also at that rally on friday, and i caught up with him beforehand off stage and he told me that he was the one who privately encouraged just trump to come and support sheehy. so publicly, he said really that he reminded donald trump of the importance of having republicans control the senate, particularly when it would come to potentially confirming his nominees. now, donald trump did give she and other montana lawmakers a shout out while on stage. but really his speech is very similar to what we heard at that press conference he held in florida on thursday, he ran through a laundry list of familiar attacks against harris. he attacked her inte

so trump wasn't man, montana, primarily to support republican senate candidate tim sheehy, who is in a fierce race to unseat democratic senator jon tester. trump will be an aspen, colorado jackson hole, wyoming this weekend. where do you think the trump campaign needs to be spending the next now at seven days before voters cast their ballots well, i do think it was important. >> he was in montana. i mean, that senate race that is control the united states senate frankly, given west virginia and the fact that that is going to go republican and montana is that next seat in line. and so it is important for him to be there and it's critical. i think the race is fundamentally different than it was against biden in terms of the map. but what that means is whether it's arizona that pennsylvania, they'll allocate accordingly, but it is different against harris than it was against biden to be sure, i would rather be donald trump in this scenario. i think he has an easier path to two 270, which is why, even though she's closed in the battlegrounds, when you look across the battlegrounds and yo

jon tester, the democratic senator incumbent is up for re-election against tim sheehy, the republican when you look at the senate map here, the republicans really need just two senate seats to flip the map, and in the state of west virginia with joe manchin retiring from the senate seat, republicans anticipating picking up that seat and the democrats are on defense, in a great number of other states from ohio to arizona, nevad, pennsylvania, but republicans see this state in montana, a state that has gone heavily republican in recent years, and one in which they were able to win effectively a senate seat just two years ago under similar circumstances, they believe that this could be their best pickup opportunity, and of course if donald trump does get back into the white house in 2025 having republican majorities in the house and senate will be key and crucial to pushing his agenda, jose. >> allie raffa, vaughn hillyard, and ashley parker, thank you so very much. >>> coming up in just 90 seconds, dramatic new body cam video showing the moments before and after the trump assassination

tell me they're not concerned about him winning in november, but he came here instead to stomp for tim sheehy. he's a big businessman as well as a former navy seal, and he's locked in a tight senate race with john tester with the long serving democratic senator of montana. and really, when i talked to people on the ground as well as we've on capitol hill, they say this is one of the most hardest fought races in the battle for the senate. majority. now, i actually caught up with steve daines, a senator from montana, as well as the chairman of the national republican senatorial committee. and he told me that he was the one who actually privately encouraged donald trump to come here. he said, we know it's not a battleground, but this race is incredibly important. so a lot of reasoning for why he wanted to come here tonight now, we did see donald trump mentioned she he as well as give shout-outs to both him and other republican lawmakers. but most of his speech really mirrored what we heard him do on thursday at his press conference and florida. he attacked harris over immigration crime, inflatio

tim sheehy is trying to take down jon tester. when you do the math of the senate, it's the democrats that are on defense right now. all republicans need to do is win one or two senate seats to flip the map. one, give donald trump and jd vance win the white house because of course vance could be that tiebreaker vote as the president of the senate. but in the scenario the democrats win the white house and it is tim walz as vice president, then they need to flip two seats to take control of the senate. if you look at west virginia with joe manchin retiring, republicans believe that governor jim justice, their candidate, will be able to pick up the state of west virginia. so then you look at the rest of the map. you have sherrod brown in ohio. casey in pennsylvania. guyego is trying to hold on to sinema's seat. they see montana as very fertile ground. they won the race here just two years ago under similar circumstances. so they see this as a real key pick up opportunity and donald trump, if he were to win the white house, of course,

so donald trump in montana today, the first campaign event he has all this week and it spurred tim sheehytrump event. he was asked yesterday at mar-a-lago, why is kamala harris doing all of these events and you are not. listen to what he said. >> because i am letting their convention go through, and i am campaigning a lot. i'm doing tremendous amounts of taping here. we have commercials that are at a level i don't think anyone has ever done before, plus in certain cases i see many of you in the room where i am speaking to you on phones and i'm speaking to radio. i'm speaking to radio. i'm speaking to television, television is coming over here. >> john: this idea of staying dark, kayla mcgee, during conventions went out the window a long time ago. the last person he really observed it was john kerry in 2004 and the cost of the election. so why is donald trump letting her have the spotlight on the campaign trail? >> especially when you think about how much media hype there would be for kamala harris, you would think they would try to steal back the airwaves and i do think this reflects conc

he was there in montana supporting republican senate candidate tim sheehy, who's in a tight race to unseat the incumbent democratic senator, jon tester while trump attack test or he repeated insults about about vice president harris drama is grossly incompetent. >> and in my opinion, has a very low iq, but we'll find out about her iq during the debate. okay. let's find out about her joining me now chair of the congressional black caucus, congressman steven horsford of nevada, congressman. thanks so much for being here with us this afternoon a way for him to drop out 345 i think we're waiting on the congressmen, but he's going to talk with us a little bit about the harris-walz ticket as they wrap up what has been an absolute campaign blitz across key battleground states. and it's set up quite a contrast this week, as we mentioned, the former president donald trump staying at his home there in mar-a-lago and venturing out for his first rally of the week just yesterday your day as we saw kamala harris and tim walz going from state to state, again, very different campaigning styles this week,

is in montana, you're exactly right is to stomp for senator tim or excusing for senate candidate tim sheehy, who's in a very close race with her. >> i actually caught up with steve daines montana senator, as well as the chairman of the national republican senatorial committee offstage. >> he's currently on stage behind me, but we spoke moments ago where he told me that he privately encouraged donald trump to come here, even though it's not a battleground state and it doesn't matter for his own campaign because he thinks that this state is key to winning a senate majority. he said he sees this as the 51st state actor. if they're able to win west virginia, which stay in said he thinks he's competent in. and so that's what you're finding donald trump here tonight, instead of focusing on his own, kaitlan alayna treene will be watching that rally. thank you very much. meanwhile, donald trump angrily insisting tonight on his way to monitor khanna that he can prove he was in an emergency landing and a helicopter with willie brown, even though it is something that the former san francisco mayor him

instead, he's coming here to big sky country to stump for tim sheehy. he's the senate republican candidate here. he's a former navy seal as well as a businessman. i'm told he will be appearing on onstage with donald trump tonight. and he's going to be locked in a very tight race against jon tester, the long serving democrat from this, from this state, also a very red senate democrat should say in red, in a red state. and so that's really the goal of this today, but it's interesting wolf, because it's interesting. he's coming to a place that is not a battleground. this is something he actually dressed yesterday at his press conference at mar-a-lago, where our own kristen holmes asked him what about the questions for why you haven't been as active on the trail. he said, look, i don't think i need to get out there as active until after the democratic national convention. he said that polls were higher for him. of course we know in recent weeks with harris now at the top of the ticket, the polls are much closer, so it isn't interesting choice. when i talk t

november, but he instead chose to come here and serve a battleground because he was stomping for tim sheehy, the republican senate candidate. >> now he is locked in a tight senate race with a long time democrat john tester and it's really considered one of the hardest fought battles for control of the senate majority come the fall. now, senator steve daines of steve daines of montana, the chairman of the national republican senatorial committee was also at that rally on friday and i caught up with him beforehand offstage and he told me that he was the one who privately encouraged trump to come and support sheehy. so publicly, he said, really that he reminded donald trump but the importance of having republicans control the senate, particularly when it would come to potentially confirming his nominees. now, donald trump did give she and other montana lawmakers a shout out while on stage. but really his speech is very similar to what we heard at that press conference. he held in florida on thursday. he ran through a laundry at list of familiar attacks against harris. he attacked her intellige

republicans are going to win this fall with tim sheehy. so i think he's not only going to win the election and is out campaign and do that, he's going to make sure he wins the senate as well. >> yeah, it is a big senate seat and speaking of what this race is looking like, a overall is how it's changing in the presidential race. right after walz was named to the ticket today, trump responded and a fundraising text to support her saying that he will unleash hell on earth it republicans have been painting tim walz is this extreme liberal, bernie sanders refuted that to me earlier when we were talking about this. do you really think that the voters will view governor walz this way, the six-year-old governor from minnesota, that he's going to unleash hell on earth well, i think it's just such an unusual world. we're in right now. >> kaitlan, we're i mean, we were seeing in three weeks ago when president trump was going to win in a landslide and joe biden was never going to step down from running. >> and then here we are. and it's all honeymoon

if you look at his opponent tim sheehy, he could likely get a big boost by having donald trump there on the ground campaigning for him. and when donald trump was defending the fact that he's not in these battleground states. he mentioned that he mentioned that, yes, he doesn't have to go to montana. he also has a fundraiser in wyoming, doesn't have to go to wyoming, but he is there to boost up their chances in both the senate and the house. but the fact remains is we have been covering win is donald trump going to get back out on the trail in a real way to visit these battleground states, to talk to his campaign. they say that overall, they believe that they are positive, they are optimistic about how this is going. they say that he doesn't necessarily have to be just in these battlegrounds states that they're reaching people in other ways doing podcasts. he's been sitting for interviews. he has been doing events with various streamers trying to reach people who are maybe not in the mainstream media watching the mainstream media, but instead have different outlets that they go to. co

for donald trump to be there because he is widely popular in montana to boost up that candidate, tim sheehy, and to try to raise money for him as well going into november. but the fact remains the same. there are concerns on the write, his own allies of what he is doing to campaign. if you talk to the campaign, they say he's still doing stuff, even though he's not out on the trail. obviously, this creates a split-screen when we see kamala harris on one side with tim walz, really blanketing these various battleground states. and then you have donald trump at mar-a-lago he did, one event last saturday in atlanta, georgia, and then he's going to montana tonight. clearly not in those battleground states, but they say that he's reaching out to op and audiences in a different way. he has done a number of interviews. he's reaching out to both conservative media as well as streamers he's doing podcasts. they believe these micro targeting a specific group but again, you now have this split-screen as we're going into a campaign. and if you're looking at a traditional campaign, he should be on those o
