Labor day weekend is upon us. With it, the next chapter in the roller coaster 2024 presidential race. Many voters will soon be taking a closer look at the candidates as the weeks countdown to election day. Vice president kamala harris has a light schedule this weekend, as she gears up for battleground states appearances next week in concealing and michigan. And, prepares for the presidential debate september 10th. Meanwhile, former president trump is cleaning up several critical masses of his own making, including a controversial visit to arlington cemetery that has some veterans outraged. And, a shifting message on reproductive rights that has even some members of his base scratching their heads. Before we start, some breaking news out of the middle east.

The idf says troops are still in that area and they are working on identifying the remains. We will bring you more inform
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 was a soaking wet Bill Clinton during a drizzly Campaign Stop in 1992. Clinton of course was campaigning that day in the small town of albany, georgia. It was part of a multiday Bus Tour through Southern Georgia which the Campaign Called Bubbas for bill. It was notable at the time because Southern Georgia was known to be more rural and conservative
Preferences are. To pull that Military Threatening Military Funding or threaten it in a meaningful way. One thing i want to say quick is if american politicians saw daily video briefings of the suffering of the people in gaza and the people being killed day in and day out, they would put an end to this immediately. The problem is we operate in an environment in which palestinian lives are considered secondary. No one is paying attention and we put israeli lives that somehow more valuable and you are emboldening a situation in which it continues. I really appreciate it. I know there is more to discuss, but i greatly appreciate your time and insights this evening. That is our show tonight. Now it is time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening.
