Good evening once again, i am Stephanie Ruhle one we are now just 42 days away from the election. On one hand it seems like tomorrow. On the other hand it seems like its never going to get here because one or both candidates doing right now . They are leaning into an issues that energize the respective base. Vice president Kamala Harris spoke with a local Wisconsin Radio station and talked about restoring Abortion Rights under roe v. Wade. We should eliminate the filibuster for row and we need to get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom. Did you hear what she said . This is the first time Vp Harris confirmed her position on eliminating the filibuster to Codify Roe since becoming the democratic nominee. Meanwhile Donald Trump was in georgia for the first time in two months. He promised to lower taxes, raise tariffsend quote, take other countries jobs. Tomorrow Kamala Harris iS Prepared to give a speech in pittsburgh with more on her economic vision for america. For that whats get smarter with the help of our Leadoff Panel tonight. Leanne, have you heard from lawmakers on the Vps Comments . I want to know the reaction on Capitol Hill Tonight on ending the filibuster to restore Abortion Rights and im going to let you start with what did Joe Manchin say. Well, senator Joe Manchin was not thrilled, obviously. He said he was not pleased about Kamala Harris comments but guess what. Joe manchin decided not to run for reelection, and so Joe Manchin will not be in the senate next year so it doesnt matter really what Joe Manchin things about it at thiS Point. Republicans are obviously beside themselves. Democrats, though, This is something they have been contemplating and discussing. Senate Majority Leader Chuck schumer has said that it is something he is going to have to consider with the rest of the democratic caucus. Removing aspects of the filibuster for something specific like voting rights. He said that is something he would do. As far as abortion is concerned, that is absolutely on the table but they also have to have a democratic majority in the senate and that is very much up in the air. Unfortunately, i was so taken by leons Living Room i have no idea what she just said so im going to ask you to discuss the same thing. Kamala harris talked about This on a local Wisconsin Radio station. How important are these local interviews on issues like This, and if you want to comment on mansion, feel free. I Cant Help you, because gosh, such a cream always is in there. It really is beautiful. I get distracted too. What she is doing, that what the Harris Team is doing with these local News Stations doing local stuff, you know, doing the black Journalist Association last week, they are very targeted in the kind of media they are doing, which i think is really smart. There has been a lot of talk about doing a cut out for just reproductive choice. Again, we dont know the numbers but i think her justification for This would be that it was a constitutionally protected right for nearly half a century, so its not like just ending the filibuster for something that is not that had not existed for a long time as a right of women. I want to talk about what Donald Trump said today and talk about where he said it. He was in georgia for the first time in almost two months. Hugo, i know youve done a lot of reporting on his Ground Game there. The Term Campaign has outsourced the Ground Game to super pacs the cycle. Historically what has happened is the rnc would get itS Pot of money and basically farm it out to local and state republican party entities and they would kind of do their own rnc Ground Game for they would have Field Operation people, door knockers, canvases canvassers go Door To door. They would have these Voter Contacts. Of the rnc did not do at This time. They were releasing lara trumps record. They have legal bill s to cover. I do not know if it was a full op but at the very least it was a single. That doesnt happen for free. The nbc had This opinion out and said the campaign can now coordinate more closely with super pacs because it allows the campaigns to free up some money so This is the rational. The problem was they started so late. They really started hiring people last month. This is extremely late in the cycle, trying to hire people in two or three months to go knock on doors in the blazing heat georgia, arizona, nevada like that is not something you can retain good staff to do. When you do it This late in the cycle, you dont get as many Voter Contacts as you would like. Elon muskS Pack that is leading the Ground Game operation for trump is trying to do three passes. They are not on track in some states. Lastminute losers . Too little too late. Lets talk about Mitch Mcconnell because he said, no surprise, he is not a fan of tariffs after Donald Trump threatened to impose a 200 tariff on John Deere Equipment that is manufactured in mexico and quick caveat to our audience, you want to destroy a storied american brand, and american company, sure, jacked up tariffs in the face and then make products more expensive for the consumer so hurt the consumer and hurt one of americas most beloved companies. Besides Mitch Mcconnell, who rarely agrees with trump but rarely does anything about it, have you talked to any of the republicans on The Hill about trumps big economic ideas . He probably very rarely agrees with you, too, but exactly what you said is what he said today, that It Will absolutely raise the cost on american consumers, and it is not something he supports. There are a lot of republicans who are extremely uncomfortable with trumps Tariff Plan on Capitol Hill but they say look, This is campaign politics. People make a lot of promises and they are back in the mode of hey, lets cross our fingers and hope This doesnt happen if he gets elected. At thiS Point, theyre not willing to speak out very much against it, but if This is in the hands of republicans in congress, they are not comfortable with This, even though they have moved a lot in the populist direction. They have moved in the direction of Donald Trump on the economy but This, for most of them, is too far. To remind our audience, those are republican lawmakers crossing their fingers and hoping a Campaign Promise does not come to fruition, and that Campaign Promises of the republican candidate, not a democrat. Donald trump also promised today that if elected, hes going to take jobs from other countries by offering lower taxes and lowering the Energy Cost to companies here so theyre going to want to manufacture in the united states. Here is what i need to know. Does This work with undecided voters . Because, if we just stopped having taxes, right . If we bring in no tax dollars into This country whatsoever, which is basically every passing day with Everybody Trump offers up like were no longer going to need an irs. Our country will run. Right, and together with the tariffs, can we just say that if you take all of these protectionist measures together, you actually increase inflation which is what trump is saying hes going to reduce and has been blaming biden for a no Kamala Harris but all of these would increase inflation, increase the cost of living and i dont see how This is beneficial for the american consumer. The Trump Campaign likes to talk about the american worker but american workers are consumers, too, and theyre going to be hit in the pocketbook if you continue to have protectionist measures like tariffs and giving foreign Companies Tax breaks to manufacture in the u. S. Mark cuban has got for further today trolling, talking, fighting with Elon Musk about Kamala Harris policies versus trump. He went as far as to endorse the harriswalz ticket today. Just want to go through a few quicK Statements on why im supporting Vice President harrison why i thinK She is better for business. In a nutshell, the Vice President and her team thinks through her policies. She does not just off the top of her head say what she thinks the crowd wants to hear, like the republican nominee. He says things off the top of his head that tend to often be ridiculous, if not insane. But, is that strategy working . We dont know. We have polls. Pollings continue to say that he does better on the economy despite 16 nobel Laureate Economist despite 80 ceos, despite trumpS Policies that he is actually pitching, scores of people go, heS Pretty good on the economy. Its vibes. I dont know, but it is completely crazy, i agree. Every economic policy he has shopped. Remember Child Care as childcare. The man is not coming up with anything new, and he is usually sort of recycling old stuff but for whatever reason i guess there is some kind of, you know, memories of republicans being good on the economy at one point but yeah, no. Im glad Mark Cuban did that and it is nice to see that there are some billionaires who dont just care about the 2025 Trump Tax cuts that are going to expire and they want them to stay. That is what is interesting because trump has This two tiered base of super wealthy people who want to protect their situation but also his core base, that bluecollar worker and why they are so interesting is that was his original base, that forgotten american, right . He did not remember them. Joe biden and Joe BidenS Policies did deliver for that voter, yet they are staying with trump. Tomorrow, Vp Harris is giving a speech in pittsburgh on manufacturing. Help us understand what her pitch is going to be, because in the last four years, theyve actually delivered for that base. The funny thing about trump, as well, is when he was in office he is to talk about your 401 K S are going up. The S P is going up. The Constituency Base is not looking at the 401 k and seeing if it iS Pegged to the S P. Theyre trying to go through regular consumer issues so This is always been the disconnect inside trump world. He has to placate his Ultra Rich donors but also his base in his always counting on the fact that his base doesnt understand the economic instruments and product hiS Pushing that appeal to the rich donors. Its funny you mention about harris and her policies and when she talks about an Opportunity Economy and when she talks about trying to help the middle class, that is the pitch. Not specific on the Manufacturing Policy but what ive noticed with the small and mediumsized businesS Policy that Harris Has, The Moment she put forward her policies on that, trump had to pivot and say oh no, i support the middle class, as well, and im going to have the same set of policies that Harris Has because he realized he wasnt matching on the economic side. Lets talk about immigration. It is clearly one of trumps biggest attack lines. There are many people in This country, it is the top issue, but she is trying to take control of This narrative. Shes going to the border on friday. Look, one of the things they did last year as they had murphy work on Murphy Cinema and the senator from what, anyway sorry. They had the three of them work on This barter package. They got a bill together. They got the bill together and then trump killed it so there had been a solution and again, the problem with the borders money. They need money for judges, money for enforcement. Money to take care of the border. Do democrats need to do a better job of saying that . In the absence of not saying that and us having an illegal Immigration Problem and even illegal immigration capacity problem, in the absence of democrats not saying we have got the laws, we need the money to put This forward, does that not leave a gap for people to say well, democrats are not doing anything for me or they are focused on the immigrants, they are not focusing tax on me that gives way to the trump lies . Absolutely and when you talk to people in texas are people who legislate or work in those areas of the government, they will say the problem is money. They dont have enough people working there. They dont have enough judges. They Cant Process the claims fast enough and that is why people dont get called back for years and years, so its an easy self but until there is legislation, theres not going to be money. Its an easy self. Molly said it first. Maybe last. House speaker Mike Johnson is turning to democrats to pass the continuing resolution to fund the government. He insists that he and Donald Trump are on the same page. Im tempted to say i dont believe that, but you know better than i do. What is the word . You cut out. I didnt hear your question but i want to talk about This anyway. Speaker johnson met with Donald Trump twice last week. Once, he went down to mara lago. Trump still proceeded to truth social fact that he should have a Government Shutdown if he doesnt get his bill that would prohibit noncitizens from voting. That, of course, is already illegal, but anyway, This is what he is demanding because the campaign is 45 days out. Mike johnson met with Donald Trump again for a second time last week in washington, d. C. We dont know exactly what was said but since then, Donald Trump has not threatened them called for a Government Shutdown. That is why Mike Johnson is saying that they are not far apart. They are not they have not split here, but the reality is that house republicans, Mike Johnson has to continue to manage This relationship for Donald Trump 42 days from an election when not only is the president ial race extremely close, but so is control of the house. Mike johnson knows a Government Shutdown is not good for republicans who want to win control of the house. Donald trump haS Proven that he has not cared much about down ballot. Hes interested in his own race. So, the government is not going to shut down. They are going to vote to fund it tomorrow, and Donald Trump, we will see what sort of response he has. My goodness, leanne. Hugo, molly, thank you, as well. When we returned, a closer look at the path to the white house. Later, a new memo warns democratic efforts to reach out to younger voters and the voters of color are critically underfunded. Dont you take the unions for granted.

We are just six weeks away from Election Day and with all of that, the poles can be hard to tell where the race stands but thankfully we have steve to help break down all of it. Right now, what are the numbers telling us . Lets Take A Look because there have been a lot coming out in the last couple of days. First of all you have probably seen these headlines in the last couple of days. Our own nbc had Kamala Harris ahead by five. Cbs had her up by four. Cnn has her up by one. Quinnipiac today have a tie. There have been many others. The average of all the polls recently conducted postdebate word is that Net Out . On average to harris by three points in the national horserace right now. Of course what we have seen in 16 and in 20, the last two elections, is that Donald Trump fell short in the national popular vote. He won because of the electoral college. Looking at our Poll Averages in these Battleground States right now, what comes out is a bit of a northsouth divide. Look at where you see the harris blue here, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, her three best results. You got Nevada Harris leading in the average by about a point and a half, a particularly volatile state with polling, hard to nail down. And then trumps strength right now, georgia, arizona and a tie in North Carolina but trump doing in the polling a little bit better in the sunbelt that and he is in the midwest states. For trump, the situation is hes got to get like georgia, carolina. He could then win with pennsyl
