of our democracy. we will be covering everything over the next two hours. i am ayman mohyeldin, let s get started. it s no longer election day, it is election month with just ten days until the midterms, more than 21 million americans had already cast their ballots across the nation, including president joe biden. today, the president and his granddaughter natalie voted in biden s hometown of wilmington, delaware. that comes as president obama hit the campaign trail, urging voters in georgia, michigan and wisconsin to do the same. so if you re scared, if you re anxious, if you re frustrated, don t complain, don t do, don t do know, don t get distracted, don t get bamboozled, don t fall for you go out and why? vote! get off your couch and what? ! vote put on your phone and what? vote! these buttons at the first nationwide election since donald trump began spreading the big lie, following his loss to joe biden back in 2020. that lie of a stolen election
Next time will be speaking with katie hobbs, running for governor of arizona, fighting voter intimidation efforts in arizona cities where there are reports of armed poll watchers looking for nonexistent fraud. we ve got to be scary. this is threatening peoples voting rights. absolutely. i first ended up on msnbc because we fled the state of texas because of voting rights. we didn t realize that this voter suppression and now voter subversion was something that was going to spread through this country like a cancer. one of the things that they did this past session is they decided to give everyone guns and tell them that they can basically go to the polls here in texas as well. there was a recording of some folks saying we ve got to go down there. as they were talking about a specific portion of harris county where african americans tend to vote. and so we know this is a very real thing.
