Cheers, michael. Welcome back to the weekend, everyone. Election day is 66 weeks i gave early voting kicks off in pennsylvania in just 16 days. To win, vice president kamala harris knows democrats need to grow their coalition and part of that means reaching out to conservative leaning voters. In her first major interview as a democratic nominee, she promised to welcome republican voices to her administration if she wins in november. I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it is important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences. I think it would be to the benefit of the american public to have a member of my cabinet who was a republican. Joining us now is olivia troye, former homeland security and terrorism adviser to mike pence. When i heard that i was like, that michael steele for commerce secretary. I could put on a tie. I would be happy to do that. It would be an honor

Whats night, Jack Smith looks to Pierce Donald trumps immunity shield. Ill take you the president should be agnostic to who is going to occupy the office next. Right.
