Weekend. It was yet another busy week, so let s get right to some of the conversations you might have missed. Amy, i think when you were here before in july, we were probably talking about joe biden. The trump people were talking about how they were going to win. They were measuring the curtains, et cetera, et cetera. I think then we could say it s only july. Now, it s only august. But it s still early, again, quoting churchill or the 18th time. At least it s now sort of the end of the beginning. Looking at numbers from swing states, what are you finding? yeah. You re right. This race has been reset, certainly, since may, but even since july when president biden dropped out. Look, back in may, we did. We saw biden trailing in all of the swing states or at best tied. Right now, harris is either leading or tied with trump in those swing states. There s one state, nevada, which she s still trailing in. But overall, if you look at those seven swing states, harris is up, again, within the m
Eastern. For now, that is all. Alex wagner tonight starts right now. Good evening. Thank you for that segment. Always thanks to amon for his tenacious reporting on all of this. Since jd vance became donald trump s running mate he has said a lot of truly unbelievable things. This one might take the cake. One thing i think marines do well is we have the best motto. I have a favorite motto of the u. S. Military. Always faithful. You hear marines say all the time. Semper fi. I do think donald trump exemplifies that motto. His record and his vision is a vision of always been faithful to those who put on the uniform. Almost everywhere giant events goes has been talking about military service and elevating service to a central part of the trump vance ticket. First vance tried unsuccessfully to attack vice president harris s running mate governor tim walz on his military service despite the fact walls served 24 years in the national guard. Now vance is trying to use his own military bona fides
That is all in on this wednesday night alex wagner tonight starts right now. Good evening, alex. First of all, kudos to you for taking on the story the way that you did. Everybody should be doing it. This is what is happening in the country. When you think about why people are motivated right now, why there has been a surge of momentum is because the stakes are so incredibly real across the country. It makes me so furious that they tried to destroy this woman because she did the right thing and she basically embarrassed them by how horrible the circumstances were that they insisted it was made up so then they tried to destroy her and her employer. It is really a genuinely despicable showing. We have a segment coming up with the great steve bennett about republican denial of recent reality and this is probably one of the more nefarious examples of it. Thank you, my friend. Okay. Today donald trump did something he has previously decried as corrupt and cheating. Today donald trump voted

Wisconsinites want and does not seem like he wants them either. Eric donetsk to does not like you. Com has all the citations on that. Ben wikler, great to see you, thanks for joining me tonight. That is our show for this evening. Time for the last word with ari melber. I went on vacation with my crazy children, i appreciate that and you in ways you cannot know. It is always a pleasure, your team is fantastic, that show was fantastic, it was way fantastic. No way come away?. Party on, ali. Have a good evening, my friend. 84 days until election day, 24 days until voting begins and less than a week until the democratic national convention, it has been, believe it or not, exactly one week since tim walz was introduced to the national stage as vice president, harris running mate. One week, since then, republicans work shopping attacks on tim walz to see what sticks. Republicans have attacked tim walz for providing free meals to all children in his state regardless of their parents income.
