Tabulation begins, the stakes are incredibly high. As harris prepares to debate donald trump. Senator elizabeth warren and governor wes moore join me on trump s vengeful rhetoric and the alarming agendas being pursued by republicans on the state level. On issues like migrants, abortion restrictions and voting rights. And we begin tonight with the huge and sobering stakes facing america and vice president kamala harris as she prepares to debate donald trump. Late this afternoon, harris landed in philadelphia, site of the debate. But she had been in pittsburgh since thursday preparing for the big event.

Trey good evening and thanks for joining us. Its Sunday Night in america. Labor day is gone and debate is on the horizon and indicates the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Which issues drive turnout . Policy versus personality . Debate more important for President Trump or Vice President harris . Candidates move towards the center in a general election, but Kamala Harris needs to move a lot to find this center. You cant see the center from san francisco, california. Which is why shes changed her position on several key issues and leads to credibility questions and should we believe the old kamala, new kamala or neither . Theres no question im in favor of banning track. Do you still want to ban Frack Something no, and i made that clear on the Debate Stage in 2020.

Theres no question to critically reexamine ice and it is role and the way here going to probably think about starting from scratch.
