That voters generally prefer government experience for the job of running the government which does make sense. That is why it is pretty common to attack a candidate by going after their experience and qualifications. Here is the special report about something that really matters and you may hear about at the debate next weekend into the election. President biden spent his life in government and everybody knows that. When democrats began to look at kamala harris as his replacement, republicans rushed to question her competence in government experience and let me remind you that donald trump put out the word that she was too inexperienced.

That was 2002 so people are incredibly excited right now and they know they are going to get to see history happen this weekend. Okay, got to go, that is a wrap for me on this edition of Alex Witt reports, up next, The Beat weekend. Welcome to The Beat weekend, lets get right into the headlines. Most people think you dont want a rookie piloting your plane, voters, and we can show this across history, generally prefer people with some Governing Experience for the job of running the entire government, which makes sense. And that is why it is pretty common to attack a candidate going after their experience and qualifications. So, here is our Special Report about something that really matters and you might hear about in the debate next week and over the next two months. President biden spent his life in government, just so everybody knows that. When democrats began eyeing harris as his replacement, republicans rushed to question her competence. Let me remind you, Donald Trump put out the w
Welcome to The Beat, im ari melber. But we begin with Breaking News in politics. Former republican Vice President and Defense Secretary Dick cheney is backing Kamala Harris. That marks one of her most high Ranking Republican endorsements in this campaign probably the most iconic. Dick cheney is an Arch Conservative Hawk and a gop icon, a fixture running republican administrations as chief of Staff And War policy as Defense Sect and Vice President and during 9 11 and the wars in afghanistan and iraq. Those were stints that made him a Fire Brand Folk hero on the right and loathed by most prominent washington democrats. And indeed this news right now tonight would have been unheard ever 10 or 15 years ago and cheney is far from a never trumper. He endorsed Donald Trump in 2018. This also completes the Cheney Family unusual evolution and it did not come during the actual four years of trumps presidency, his governing priorities and his mistakes, it came over whether were a democracy or a C

One or two word 0fsted Inspection Grades for englands schools are being scrapped with immediate effect. Last year an inquest found an 0fsted Inspection had contributed to the suicide of primary headteacher Ruth Perry, leading to widespread calls for change. Headteacher Ruth Perry, leading the government said the overall grades werent fair or accurate, but the change was criticised by the conservatives for removing a vital indicator for parents.
