tonight, the biden-trump rematch now less than two days away. why trump is not trash talking the first debate even though he agreed to all the rules. then, and alarming new warning about trump s plans for the economy and what they would mean for your money. plus, my talk with senator joe manchin. why he left the democratic party and how he will be voting come november as the 11th hour gets underway on this tuesday night. good evening. once again, i am stephanie ruhle line from aspen, colorado and we are now 133 days away from the election, and less than 48 hours away from the first presidential debate between president joe biden and former president trump. we have been watching us trump has been talking about this debate for months and we think you need to know what he has been saying throughout these months, so let s start with the last few days were he seems to have some big problems with what will happen in this first debate. watch. number one it was cnn fake news
pittard. he probably would use a different word because he sometimes gets salty. so i think that he probably was there to deliver a message of unity and calming, but also to specifically bring information from those two senators who have balked at the size of the package that was being floated, not necessarily the underlying poll see. i agree with donna. they are going to get there, may not be today, may not be tomorrow, but her going the get there. you mentioned a number earlier in this hour. and you mentioned specifics that president joe biden walked into this meeting with. do you know what the specific number is, or what the specific policies are that sinema and manchin are for? i do not. and frankly, what i have been told that is anything specific in nature i just can t share at this point because i promised i wouldn t. and i want to keep my word no
matter what. but i will say that, obviously, nancy pelosi there was talk about her yesterday saying 2.1. we know there has been talk about 1.5. i am just telling you that i think they will get to some number between those two numbers. i am not basing that on anything specifically that i know, but i do think there is a deal to be had. and anybody who thinks $2 trillion is not a lot of money to spend doesn t understand how much $2 trillion is. and i it s a ton of money. i think to the public it s a whole lot of money as well. i want to add to our conversation my colleague capitol hill news correspondent ali vitali who is getting reaction from that meeting. what are you hearing? the word here seems to be time. members coming out getting the sense that the president gave a unifying message, not pressuring moderates or progressives in
of families, most parents around the country are very popular. by the way, that dries up in an election bill if they don t pass the social infrastructure bill. that dries up. that s one of many thing driving the party forward on the reconciliation bill. there is a sense in the democratic party that maybe they made a mistake that they shouldn t have marketed it as a $3.5 trillion bill. the goal there was to speak to progressives who wanted something big and bold and transformative. president biden s desire to be an fdr sized type of president. but figures like joe manchin can t stup that price tag. also senator kyrsten sinema. those two won t be in this
challenging to unite the party? is the party united? come on, man. unite the party. 50/50, i got it. how big is this dill you have got to get president biden taking quick questions about party unity. you heard the president do just what donna, you and claire and garrett and everyone thought might be one of the most effective sort of tools in his tactical tool kit. and that is changing the time line here. he said it could take six hours, six days, six weeks, but we will get it done. what do you think. i think that was a really important message for democrats to hear. you heard from the president, they are on the same page with this agenda. and so it you know, get rid of the artificial time line.
