Kamala harris is campaigning right now in flint michigan, after hitting detroit. Shes building momentum from the big rally with Liz Cheney where harris has been using each of these stops to hammer trump sometimes specifically over labor. This is the man who sold promise after promise to america workers, but never delivered. Who said he supports socalled right to work laws 100 . Those are his words. He who joked and laughed about firing striking workers. You remember that . Who rolled Back Labor Standards and made it easier for companies that Break Labor Laws to get federal contracts. And Donald Trump is a man who tried to cut funding for our first responders, including safer grants for firefighters. So brothers and sisters, as we stand here in a house of labor, we will not be fooled. We will not be gaslighted. Donald trumps Track Record is a disaster for working people and hes trying to gaslight people all over our country. But we know the facts. And we know the truth. Hes an existential threat to americas labor movement. Clear and powerful moment there from harris. In this wider home strep, cams tend to run on several tracks. There is the political Coverage And Punditry and there are ads that will be blanketing key states and then how campaigns try to reach people directly on the ground. If you study or cover politics as we do around here, what happens on the ground becomes increasingly important the closer you goodet to Election Day and we could tell that you Donald Trump has been struggling to hit any kind of consistent message on the ground in his rally. Theyre often meandering and their dark and drawing criticism from other concerned republicans. Meanwhile, a theme were seeing at least right now, at least in the last couple of weeks and on through today, is that democrats are encourage about how harris, backed by a team that is drawn from obama and biden, is deploying local appearances to drive key messages to hammer things that matter in these communities. Now, some might be familiar from the dnc and her playbook. But some are actually, if you listen and follow this closely, theyre more locally tailored. Theyre different than what d. C. Or national political conversations often Focus On. So national news this week, understandably, has looked at the latest Jack Smith filing, at trumps 2020 coup, legal liability, the fate of democracy, if you watch msnbc, these are important issues that we cover as a matter of journalism and law. But the politics may be different. The Harris Campaign Isnt playing that stuff up right now in michigan. And the voters that harris needs, many of them, and we have many ways to measure this, are focused on jobs, prices and the economic outlook. And today shes tieing those concerns to project 2025 and whether workers she said will have an ally next year in the department of labor. And so pundits might talk less about that building you see on your Screen Or Report less about Labor Laws or Union Busting in the national conversation, democrats think this is still an important and huge political Winning Issue for them with voters in michigan. Everything he intends to do is spelled out in project 2025. If reelected, he intends to launch a full on attack on unions and the freedom to organize. He will ban public sector unions. Roll Back Workplace Safety Protections and appoint a Union Buster to run the department of labor. And on top of that, Donald Trump will give billionaires and the biggest corporations massive Tax Cuts like he did last time. That is the economic policy. Matters to a lot of people. Harris is also continuing on the political side with this Widening Roster of endorsement. Campaigns are about addition. Harriss drawn support from the conservative general, taylor swift, Liz Cheney, young pop stars. Shes adding through those endorsements endorsements are fundamentally about showing who support you so more people might and that draws from different demographics and different conversations that quite frankly few candidates have done in American Politics since obamas first campaign for president. And today we add another. Harris drawing an endorsement from touring michigan, the Nba Legend DreamTeam Member and Hall Of Famer IrvingMagic Johnson with the uniting power of sports and americana. And it is so great to be back home. And what an outstanding cause to elect my friend, Kamala Harris, president of the united states. Shes smart. Shes strong. Shes passive. Nobody is going to outwork her. Shes committed to you as the people of united states. The people of michigan. Shes committed to you. Now some things are just straightforward. You doent have to be a michigan Politics Expert or a Basketball Expert to know that Magic Johnson puts points on the board in michigan and many other states as people hear about this. It draws people in. And i debit know Nicolle Wallace was going to end her extraordinary broadcast with her sports reference tonight. And what we learned from sports and why so many people look to sports not only for what happens and not only for entertainment but for Inspiration And Leadership or lessons. Why so many kids play sports. It is not a region and not that complicated when you have big iconic people from sports and culture and other corners of American Life coming together, It Helps the campaign particularly in the home stretch. The people who have already studied the platforms and paid a lot of attention to the candidates. Those people have made up their mind by october. So democrats see Harriss Campaign on a roll. And they have another vote of confidence, from the same icon who was born in the usa. Bruce springsteen. Im supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for Vice President. And opposing donald Trump And J. D. Vance. Donald trump is most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy and the Rule Of Law and the sankit should disqualify him from the office of president ever again. Same message, and different messenger which may reach people in a different way. The boss talks about with nowhere to run aint Nowhere To Go and today democrats are running to the midwest as a way of getting back to the White House. Harris has now drawn this notable group that spans leadership and icons and pop stars. Youre looking at the kind of faces that draw considerable interest No Matter What topic they speak on. With their groups, with their fans followers and allies and right now theyre all talking Kamala Harris. The campaign hopes that will get people listening to her message. Springsteen has played that role for Obama And Obama will make his first speech on the Campaign Trail next week in p. A. , on a tour that the campaign views this tour as a way to draw big crowds, which has been a theme this cycle, and harris has sort of Met Trump where he is. Sometimes you live in the petty. And shes baiting him on things that have riles him out. So when she mentioned the Debate Stage and the campaign showing the videos showing paltry or half filled arenas while he talks about his own crowds. And who else could fill a only maga. But who else who ever fills big places like this at 3 00 in the afternoon. Were going to be meeting. Were going to think about it. And who else could fill. Only maga. You could see how that might bother him. Now in the culture, Punch Lines only matter if people get the punch. And snl took shots at both parties. There was jokes about Joe Biden and how he walks. So theyll go at anyone in both parties. But when they turn to trump, the joke was something most viewers would have to know about to get. So it is a bad sign for trump, that the Comedy Writers think this is a nationally understandable punch line. A line at his lackluster rally. Lets get crazy, sexy cool and play some tlc. See now going with Donald Trump at his rally entering its third hour. I see you trying to leave. But the doors are locked. The doors are locked. Now, that line could in a Joking Universe apply to the Maga Rally or how americans might feel. And we have the Trump Fatigue which is documented and it could impact turnout. Where even reporters are asking Trump Rallygoers why are you leaving early. And the Washington Post asked several at a long rally basically stretched their plans and they sided different needs and like they have to go Take Care of a pet, see a family member, one attendee said their phone died, some said sound quality. Most of these sound like excuses rather than what might be the real answer. People with pets just could take them at their word know that they left their pet at home when they go out to a Trump Rally or whenever they go. And if your phone died while youre listening to a great speech you might finish watching and go back and charge your phone in the car. These references are to what actual maga fans told this reporter were their reasons for leaving. Leaving early. If there are deeper reasons that they left that rally, where the reporter was and the other ones, maybe they dont want to share them with the media or post them online. But what we do know about most of the rally, they are trump fans or curious. If their turning out, or have some pause, what about all of the other less trumpfied republicans. That is a big question. It is one the Harris Campaign thinks could be key to victory. That there is an echo between people who are interested in trump to go to a rally but react to what he actually said now. The trump of today, not four, eight years ago that they left early. A link between that and why top republicans are breaking with Think Party to endorse Kamala Harris. My break down on this continues. We have a quick break. Well be back in 90 seconds. woman did i read this . Did i get eggs . Where are my keys . vo dont wait while memory and thinking issues pile up. These issues may seem like normal aging but could be due to a buildup of Amyloid Plaques in the brain. Amyloid can build up over time.

When you sponsor a job on indeed, its easier for talented candidates to find it. Which makes it easier for you to hire them. Visit indeed. Com hire now this important theme, in the campaign right now, which could tip states toward harris, is this embrace that im telling you about. Not only by the independents an the conservatives but life long staunch republicans. What voters saw in Wisconsin And Many Others watched across the nation, is so unusual in American Life, you would have to do a double take. If this happened just a few years ago. Liz cheney began the Trump Era as a leader of the entire republican house caucus. She backed trump in 2020. Not that long ago. But ended that era fighting the insurrection after he lost 2020. Now shes campaigning with harris along we are her father Dick Cheney and other republicans who work directly for trump and his whole agenda are breaking with him to back Kamala Harris. This is big. It could impact the outcome of the election. It is a rarity in our current partisan political era. So right now, tonight, to see how major this is, consider how these partisan republicans, staunch conservative hawks have sounded across the bulk of their entire careers. We are all a little weary of the clintongore routine. It is time for them to go. How much damage do you think President Obama has done. I think it is been devastating. Hes strengthen our enemies. All of his pollries is working but were not getting any coverage because he media didnt want people to see his success. He was described as one of ten conservatives what will define the conservative movement. Never relent on our principals and why we were sent to washington, d. C. Are you asking about Vice President biden who is that . Did you say bite me. Did you tell Senator Leahy bleep yourself. I did. You think hes the worst president ever. Well certainly the worse in my lifetime. That is just a small sampling. They sounded like that most of the time. Over and over. About all of those political issues. Now these hardline conservatives, even former members of the Trump Administration who served through 2020 from the final years look at this failing endorsing Kamala Harris and cheney are telling allies that backing Kamala Harris is specifically intentionally and substantively bigger than politics. Bigger than a party. You have to remember that, because we talk so much about policies that sometimes we forget there are things that are bigger than policies as important as they are. And theyre saying, this is an urgent constitutional cause. President harris will be able to unite this nation. Liz cheney is a leader who puts country above party and above self. As a conservative and as a patriot and a mother and as someone who reveres our constitution, im honored to join her in this urgent cause. No matter your political party, there is a place for you with us and this campaign. A welcoming and outreach bipartisan message there from harris. This is out on the trail of course. Trumps own aides have supplied some of the most damning testimony against him year after year. Scandal after scandal, from January 6 where some are going back and saying that was their breaking point. Trump Deputy Press SecretarySarah Matthews in that camp and we just heard her very clearly and Thoughtfully State her case against trump and for Kamala Harris on wednesday in discussion with several trump vets right here on the beat. I dont agree with Kamala Harris on most things but at end of the day, you know what we can agree on, that w
