My angle in moments. But, first, in just two hours, you 8 see what will likely be the final debate of this long election season. J. D. Vance versus tim walz. It comes on a day of chaos around the globe. And more suffering here at home. With two major crises unfolding. A port strike that could end up costing the u. S. About $5 billion a day. And the human tragedy and infrastructure collapse from one of the deadliest hurricanes in american history. Now, the death toll has stood now, i think it s at about 159 people, tragic, entire communities flattened. Americans are still struggling to get the basic necessities, like water. And overseas, a significant escalation. Iran retaliated against israel s successful decapitation of hezbollah s leadership. And launched at least 180 missiles into israel, lighting up the sky. Virile prime minister benjamin netanyahu warning iran a painful lesson we attack back. Now, americans are watching all. This and they are wondering who is really running the co

Were going to show you more of what the former president had to say ahead of a Meeting Today with the Ukrainian President , who appeared alongside Vice President Kamala Harris Yesterday at the White House. Wasnt that kind of like nixons Secret Plan . Secret plan to end the vietnam war, yes. Oh, there are a lot of polls. Every morning, theres new polls. I didnt see them today. The Bloomberg Polls. Key, new polls from the key Swing States that crossed overnight. [ laughter ] we will show you how, once again, the New York times Siena Poll is a dramatic outlier. That is what happens when you have voodoo, witchcraft. Welcome to Morning Joe. It is frida
A crucial supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action could come tomorrow, as colleges and universities grapple with the possibility that race might no longer be a factor in admissions. The Central Question being decided this time is should Affirmative Action continue forever In The Name Of diversity, and are the gains achieved worth the harms allegedly inflicted on Asian American students . This is the most important civil Rights Case of our era. I dont think its an overstatement to say theyre freaking out right now. One admissions official told me, some colleges are so worried about being sued in the wake of this decision that theyre thinking about scrubbing racial and ethnic data from their websites. There has to be some discrimination here. There has to be something against Asian Americans specifically. This case is going to be something more than just about admissions. The notion that noticing race is per se unconstitutional could be devastating for a number of areas of the law. An
I am katie feng and for alex. The 2020 presidential election was one of the closest races we ve ever experienced in this country although george w. Bush won the election, it was al gore who won the popular vote that your. When you start to slice and dice the electorate into different voting groups, that race starts to look weightless tight.

Evangelical support for the republican presidential candidate remained relatively steady for the next two elections and then look what happened in 2016. Donald trump won the support of 81% of white evangelical voters. Trumps ability to supercharge the evangelical vote has largely been attributed to the reason he was able to win the presidency the first time he ran. Without a strong evangelical turnout, it becomes much more difficult for donald trump to chart a repe
Week when i had a little bit of a bug. I really appreciate it. You are welcome and the best news, you ve gotten better, so you have a great labor day weekend. Thanks, chris. You know, labor day weekend, it s finally here. The next three days are the time when americans everywhere try to get the most out of their summer. Maybe squeeze in one last cookout for beach trip before the weather gets colder and everything starts to taste like pumpkin spice. But in an election year like this one, labor day weekend also marks the moment when most americans really start to pay attention to the presidential race and for the campaigns this is a moment when every detail starts to matter. Vice president kamala harris and her running mate tim walz are coming off a two day bus tour through southern georgia. The first democratic campaign in that part of the state since 1992. Last night the vice president sat down for her first major interview since becoming her party s nominee. She defended the record of
