And fleeing. That will do it on this edition of Alex Witt reports. See again tomorrow. Up next, The Beat weekend. Welcome to the b weekend. Let us get right into the headline. Campaign boiled down to two big factors. The message, which takes endless repetition from the candidate, the surrogates, the ads. All the millions of dollars spent repeating the message. That is one part of the campaign but you might have heard some of the lines are variations on them from harris and her allies before. The other part is momentum. What we are seeing this week, they might have been seemingly logical Tuesday Night and even Wednesday Morning as it sunk in that room had a terrible Debate And Harris had a good one. It was only built in the last few days and harris doing, as i mentioned, a new television interview. She is ditching the Debate Performance and the perception of that performance, not really close, not one of our pole arise contested things where republicans and democrats see the economy dif
Thispast summer in their arguments. Will you then respond to Maxine Waters with a number of other Democrat Officials not speaking out against the antifa and otherextremist rallies over the last summer . I think, you can count on that. The my if my eyes look a little red to the viewers, its because i have been looking at a lot of video, the last several days. Plus, congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene says shes been freed to push the Republican Party further to the right. This, amid growing divisions within the gop. Exactly one month, after the Capitol Insurrection, the New York Times releasing a breakdown of who has been arrested. Including, at least 22 current members or former members of the military.
