>> do you like tudor dixon. i did, everything except the abortion issue.ith that abortion situation. >> reporter: voters in a crucial battleground state up in the air as summer comes to a close. >> fascinating to see what republicans there think about abortion. those folks you spoke with, though, will they vote on that issue? >> they're not sure. they want to hear more from the republican candidate, tudor dixon, who has basically let gretchen whitmer fill a vacuum and define her on the abortion issue. what has been fascinating in spending time there, you picked up on it right away, is you hear national democrats say, abortion will be a motivating issue. the fact that i talked to a handful of republicans, self-described republicans, who say, i'm not comfortable with somebody as strident as tudor dixon appears to be on abortion, that is very, very telling for the national issue. and in a state like michigan, if abortion is literally on the ballot with a referendum, that could make a huge difference, maybe like it did in kansas. >> fascinating. dana, thank yo

tudor dixon, will the president's visit help in the polls or should gretchen whitmer have avoided thecle? >> if you had your body language expert on looking at her face yesterday when he grabbed her hand, i would think she was probably thinking this may not be helping me, and i don't think it will help her. people are fed up policies and fed up with not being able to buy gas. they don't want somebody to tell them to go buy an electric vehicle when they can't afford to put groceries on the table. i don't think it helps her, i hope it helps me so people know we have a better option in the state of michigan. >> carley: crime is on the mind of americans and you unveiled a police funding plan for michigan, tell us about it? >> billion dollar new plan, building safer state plan in the state of michigan. we have rising crime, nationwide crime rose 4%, in michigan, it is twice that. just two years of gretchen whitmer, we have stats from 2018 and 2020, michigan was 14th for violent crime rate and now ninth, that is how significant the increase has been. police are being apbushed and delivery d

brian: tudor dixon against gretchen whitmer the governor's manchi forn in michigan and wera weeks awayrs head to the polls for early voting, the republican candidate tudor dixoo to restore law and order by a 1 billion other investment but will that promise be enough to sway voters right now trailing in the latest poll which is only september 148 - 35%, joining us the woman that wants to close the gap tudor dixon, welcome, great to see you, first off what tuis your mission, message toge close the gap.chig >> or message, we cannot let michigan go through another four yearh ans of this are you bettef now than you were four years ago the majority of michiganders are going to sayha absolutely not we lost over 100,000 jobs in the state crime is through the roof and we have her education score 60% of the third-graders are not reading at grade level our education system going in the toilet, we have to bring all back and people across the state believe in that message. brian: you talk about missing jobs is it true as you convert to electric cars, that means thousands of autoworkers will be out

then you look at what's happening with tudor dixon. when you hear her talk there, she sounds like a main street republican. she's talking about, you know, regulations, talking about getting the kids back in school, how they were impacted by being out too long on covid. those are issues that actually helped republicans win the governorship in the state of virginia. her problem and the problem for so many republican candidates, same with blake master in arizona, is they have so far out and so extreme in the primaries, it's going to be really hard for them to come back. you have blake masters and other republicans scrubbing their websites of some of the more extreme abortion language. tudor dixon, she's going to have a real hard time getting a way from what she said about a 14-year-old girl getting raped by her uncle being a perfect example of why the state has to have forced births of rapists ibe byes. it's hard to talk about regulations and other issues that would help republicans win easily this year when you put yourself so far out th

the governor's race is gretchen whitmer, tudor dixon who said she's 100% pro-life. there's some indication she might run. dana bash was out there at the state fair. listen closely. >> has abortion ever been an issue that has driven your vote before? >> no. >> it's new this year. >> yes. >> people more in the middle like my mom, they'll be more pushed to vote for people who are going to protect the reproductive rights. >> i could not have said it better myself. >> do you like tudor dixon? >> i do, everything except the abortion situation. you have to be more liberal with the abortion situation. >> real voters that prove to you the data we're. whether it's an issue particularly among wichl. that issue more than anything else has changed things. >> it's clear democrats see this as a winning issue. you see mandela barnes attack ron johnson. we're seeing fetterman manging the pace if he's aelected. the data definitely shows there's a lot. whether that outweighs the concerns about the economy, which historically has been a big driver for voters, i don't think we know yet.

the democrat has a 13-point advantage over tudor dixon.om polling done in early july. the detroit news points to the issue of abortion as a reason for whitmer's large lead. it's ahead of inflation, education and the economy. huge issues. the lead pollster told the detroit news the election should, quote, be about democratic president joe biden and it's not, it's about abortion. dixon has made headlines for her hard-line stance on the procedure last month. she told a detroit tv station that she opposes exceptions for rape and rape victims could find healing through having the baby. >> she also said that a 14-year-old raped by her uncle should be forced -- compelled by the state to have the baby and said that a 14-year-old being raped by her uncle was the perfect example. her words. as to why she doesn't believe in exceptions for rape or incest even for 14-year-old girls. amy, obviously the extreme position taken by many republican candidates from arizona to michigan, even scaring off people who have traditionally referred to them as prolife

tudor dixon is unapologetically completely anti-abortion, but she does seem like she's running a 1990snd big government. are you detecting on the ground in michigan that there is a crime big government voter, there are more crime big government voters when you're talking to folks in the world or more voters who say women's reproductive rights and really our full citizenship is on the ballot. >> my sense being on the ground is women are extremely upset about the roe decision and that's women that are republican or democrat. tudor dixon, while she's on record as saying she supports banning abortion with no exceptions for rape and incest, she doesn't want to talk about that too much. she said it, and she's clearly on the record, but when i was interviewing her, i asked her over and over again, and she wouldn't own up to it on camera. i think the reason that's happening is because she senses that's not really a popular position. you played some sound of jessica leach, who i think is the kind of voter that democrats hope turn out in big numbers. she was a long time republican. she considere

. >> reporter: her opponent, republican tudor dixon, supports banning abortion with no exception forcould just talk a bit more about your own views and talk to people who are worried about your views being too extreme. >> i have shared my own pro-life story. i lost a baby at 18 weeks. when i lost the baby, the doctor said this baby probably died in the womb at 16 weeks. i held a beautiful baby girl. >> reporter: dixon also does not believe abortion is a top issue for voters. >> they're concerned with how to get their kids back on track after they were kept out of school. and if you look at our crime rates in the past couple of years it's just continued to rise. and why our businesses are being crushed by big government. >> reporter: both supporters and opponents of the referendum are mobilizing. like anti-abortion rights activist kristen polo, now working overtime after voters in kansas recently voted to keep abortion protections in its state constitution. >> i'm very concerned. frankly, the policies that are being put forth in this abortion amendment here in michigan are some of the

. >> do you like tudor dixon? >> yeah, i do, everything except the abortion issue. it seems like she's -- you got to be more liberal with that abortion situation. >> reporter: voters in a crucial battleground state up in the air as summer comes to a close. >> thanks for spending your sunday morning with us. fareed zakaria takes over right now. >>> uvalde -- >> murdered 19 children and 2 teachers in uvalde, texas. >> we do this again and again. >> enough. >> 19 children this time. >> at least 20 shots inside the store. >> buffalo -- >> very heavily armed. >> how is this possible we ask god? >> killing 10 people and wounding 3 others in what police call a racially-motivated attack. >> las vegas -- >> the deadliest mass shooting in u.s. history. >> get down! get down! >> orlando -- >> three tense horrifying hours. >> hands up! >> it was unimaginable. >> all units. >>> newtown -- >> 27 people lost their lives. 20 of them young children. >> a mass shooting at a fourth of july parade. >> a shooting in highland park, illinois. >> why? why? >> those horrific events and so m

advocate for abortion rights telling me this is about civil rights in her right and her opponent tudor dixonnd i spoke with voters and activists on both sides of the issue and take a listen to what they told me. >> how concerned are you that michigan's constitution could come to mirror the constitution of kansas. >> i'm very concerned frankly, the policies that are being put forth in this abortion amendment here in michigan are some of the most extremist policies we've seen in the entire country. >> what's at stake in this, in this election? >> being able to pick and choose when you become a mother. >> so there you have it. an opponent of abortion rights, really working overtime, to stop access to abortions, and you also heard from a woman, a voter, jessica leach, she is someone that i met, she is an opponent of abortion rights and was an an opponent of abortion rights, a long time republican and changed her mind after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade and she told she went to an abortion clinic when she got pregnant at 19 and chose to have her son cameron but adamant that every woman

tudor dixon, a businesswoman, challenging gretchen whitmer who's campaigning for a second term.er hand in hand with president biden this week as he visited the detroit auto show announcing major funding for electric vehicle charging stations. >> the great american road trip is going to be fully electrified. >> reporter: in motor city car companies betting big on electric vehicles. we asked voters outside the auto show about it and that support from the white house. >> yes, it's a lot of excitement. yep. >> we have a lot of autoworkers in my family, some retired. some are for, some are against. >> i just don't this the infrastructure is there yet. >> i think it's good to have a plan for the environment. >> reporter: now, there are also several key house congressional races in the state we'll be watching, and other issues that voters told me were top of mind, climate change, protecting the environment and, of course, the economy with inflation and food prices so high. janai? >> so interesting to see what politics they care about while out there caring about sports. maryalice, than

jd vance in ohio and mehmet oz in pennsylvania and north carolina, and going to michigan, with tudor dixontatewide candidates are coming and joining him up on the stage, and not only is he promoting his own brand, and he mounts what could be a potential 2024 run, launching a new super-pac here today, but also essentially demanding loyalty from these statewide candidates in the face of not only a criminal investigation, into whether he held on to confidential records that belong to the government, at his residency, but also facing potential $250 million fine for inflating values and assets and each taking from the american taxpayer. and yet despite all of that, you're going to see him stand on stage tonight and continue to defend this as a witch hunt and goes after those who have been against him. >> i suspect you're talking to people there who are beginning to arrive ahead of this rally. you've asked them about the new york attorney general's lawsuit. you've asked them about the mounting legal pressure the former president is facing. what are they saying? >> they tell you this is exactly w

. >> coming up -- >> mika, i just wanted to say one thing quickly, the other thing about tudor dixon,d to get away from their anti-choice stances, she continues to say she thinks abortion should be banned even in cases of rape and incest. you know, you think about why she's losing that race. that's cruel also and that's the kind of cruelty catching up with her. and is involved apparently in interesting vampire erotica, which you can look up on google, if you're interested to see. she's an interesting candidate in a lot of ways. >> i might add when ronald reagan was shot, democrats didn't act like that. i mean, you've seen brutality and cruelty on the other side, we've always said that that's not the way you behave. it's just something we shouldn't allow to be normalized. >> it's a really strange time and the things the republicans are using as political tools are really -- it's getting low. it's lower every day from migrants being boarded on to planes and misled and flown off to islands to making fun of someone having their life threatened, who are these people. >>> coming up, why the
