Lets get right to the weeks top stories. The past 24 hours have been kind of microcosm. Kamala harris and Tim Walz are doing the Stander Campaign Work for any major candidate, and even keel with a major interview Last Night that went through a lot of the republican charges against them. While they are doing that, trump is out there stumbling to put together english sentences. His campaign keeps stepping in misses of its own making, including an enormous one tonight which we will get to. Both the candidate and his aides are, as usual, posting from it. The fallout continues from trumps political fallout in Campaign Commercial on tiktok at the in Arlington National Cemetery earlier this week where he gave a thumbs up at the graves of veterans, including many who did not consent to any of these, blaming the
Hour of our supersize show on this labor day eve as we head into the holiday weekend on this last week of summer. The polls have continued to look promising across the board for vice president kamala harris. A fox news poll of key sun belt swing states that harris leading donald trump by one point in arizona, two points in georgia and nevada. She is behind i one in north carolina, within margin of error. A much better standing than joe biden s position two months ago. The jawdropping thing is the enormous gap we are seeing between the top of the ticket and the down ballot statewide races. This was true when president joe biden was the democratic nominee and a lot of people pointed to it as a reason not right enjoyed, right? but, it has remained the case even as kamala harris has improved the democrats position in the presidential race. The same fox news poll shows the democratic candidate for senate congressman ruben gallego, is running 15 points ahead of republican kari lake. A one po
Our premier event is taking place september 7th in brooklyn, new york. I will be there with the rest of the gang, you do not want to miss it. Good evening from new york, we have a two hour special edition of all in on this labor day weekend yves, we are 67 days out from the election which i cannot believe, the past 24 hours have been a microcosm of the whole race, you ve got kamala harris and tim walz doing the standard campaign work, they kept an even keel in a sitdown interview last night that went through a lot of the republican charges against them. And while they are doing that, trump is out there and honestly stumbling to put together english sentences. His campaign keeps making a mess, including an enormous one tonight which we are going to get to. Both the candidate and his aides are as usual posting through it, the fallout continues from his political photo operand campaign commercial on tiktok at arlington national cemetery at the beginning of the week where he gave the thumb
Polling that come out, both the national polls and the swing state polls. Are generally telling the same story right now, they re telling a story that vice president kamala harris is doing significantly better against donald trump than president biden had been doing in his campaign. That is comparatively good news for the democrats. They are, apparently, better off now with harris as their candidate than they were before the switch from biden to harris. That said, in absolute terms, the polls, national polls, and the swing state polls, broadly speaking, don t really give either party a reason to celebrate right now.

We now of course have that to the republican and Democratic National convention n and right now they are telling a story that Vice President harris is doing significant the better than President Biden has been doing and that is comparatively good news for the democrats. They are, apparently better off now with harris as their candidate than they were before the switch. That said, in absolute terms, the National Polls and the swing state polls, broadly speaking dont really give either Party Something to celebrate and Vice President harris may be doing better than biden was against trump but it doesnt mean she is clearly winning and it is a tie between the two category candidates. It produces all sorts of interesting dynamics but when it is as close and a little difference can make a very interesting not only contrast but can make a big difference for the ultimate results and Trump Campaign is maneuvering to try to get them out of the one debate and he agreed to it with Kamala Harris and
