And a key Group Booze Jd Vance as he tries to rewrite trumps labor record. Joining me live, lets do it. When 87yearold Lydia Martinez woke up before 6 a. M. To a sound of a knock on her door last week, she assumed it was perhaps a neighbor who needed milk or eggs. But, to her surprise, it wasnt a neighbor. Rather, nine officers. Most of the men, came to her front door. Some of them had Riot Shields or guns in their holsters. The officers presented a Search Warrant and question her for three hours.

Martinez said the officers told her they were there because she had filled out a report saying that older residents were not getting mail ballots. That is quite an aggressive response to that report, but she confirms she actually did
Front door. Some had riot shields and guns in their holsters. The officers presented a search warrant and questioned her for three hours. At one point they had the great grandmother stand outside in her nightgown. According to their warrant, officers were looking for records including applications for ballot by mail, a list of voter banks and documents about elected officials and candidates.

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.

Let s get some of the conversations you might have missed. Some new polling to begin this hour. Vice president, kamala harris, and former president, donald trump, are essentially tied in every sunbelt swing state. According to be a latest, fox news polling, harris leads trump by registered voters in arizona and two points in both georgia and nevada. Trump, meanwhile, leads by a single point in north carolina.
