Giuliana, to talk about how she s turning far right personal attacks against her into motivating gen z to get out and vote. Join me tomorrow at noon here on msnbc. Have a great neighbor day weekend and good night. Before donald trump, the trump era of presidential elections, the conventional wisdom was that presidential campaigns do not get serious until after labor day. But for trump, he will emerge from this labor day weekend into a september of court dates and debates. Today we are expecting the next major step in the federal election interference case against him. Special counsel jack smith s team and trump s attorneys are expected to propose a schedule for future court proceedings.
