Republicans, in one key Battleground State are pushing forward with a rather controversial Rule Change fueled by trumps disproved, debunked election lies about the 2020 election. And leading this hour, Vice President Kamala Harris may have won the debate, but she could, could still well lose the election today. The Harris Campaign says, despite any momentum from Last Nights performance, they still consider this a 50, 50 race, a Coin Flip than with just 55 days to go so the Harris Campaign says theyre not taking their feet off the gas.

They want some key senate rates right . Now rather than looking at that outcome and thinking wow, we can be a Competitive Party even in high turnout elections which would have been a totally rational conclusion. Republican
