I m michael smerconish in philadelphia. Think about it one month ago today. Donald trump looked invincible he d had a successful debate against president biden, survived an assassination attempt. He was presiding over a unified and wellchoreographed republican convention in wisconsin and all the polls were in his favor a new york times sienna poll found that trump was leading biden in five of six battleground states james carville earned the wrath of some in his party when he wrote in the new york times, the jig is up and the sooner mr. Biden and democratic leaders accept this, the better we need to move forward. David axelrod said that biden was more likely to lose in a landslide, then when it all for three nights, trump sat pensively speaking little and watching the rnc when he s spoken the final night, victory seemed assured and then came kamala harris and trump reverted to the mean the real mean. He called the vice president a bum said that she was evil, called her crazy, stupid an
Today hello everyone, and welcome to the amanpour hour but here s where we re headed this week. Israel has a right to defend itself and how it does so matters. Will kamala harris be able to chart her own path on the world stage, u. S ambassador and democrat bigwig rahm manu, ways in what would a second trump worldview look like? his former pentagon policy maker on america first 2. 0 we re heading towards the iceberg and i think if we continue on the current trajectory, we re going to ram right into it. I think the trumpvance agenda offers us a very good way of avoiding world war three in a way that protects our interests also, this hour, this book is my testimony to the trial that never took place on an adn on accusing wikileaks, julian assange of sexual assault, and surviving as the most hated woman on the internet then changing the rules of philanthropy at the ford foundation and why darren walker thinks that time is right to step down, kid in a small town finding them felt as presid
In the surveys that came out, going into the election in 2020, joe biden was ahead by seven or eight points on average. He did win by 4 1/2 nationally but the typical state had less than one point margin and trump came within 49,218 votes of winning a second term. I think for democrats to have a high degree of confidence, she has to be outside the margin of error heading into this very tight election and democrats can t forget that. We always talk about national numbers versus state numbers. Let me ask you, is there a national poll number kamala harris needs to meet or exceed that will then indicate to you that the swing states another states are going to follow? that is the number, she hits it, she has got it. Well, look, kamala harris, if she wins the national popular vote by more than four, she can be very competent in her chances in the electoral college but polling is a different matter. We have seen in the last eight years that polling has underestimated trump s face when he is o
Welcome to the beat weekend. Let s you read the headlines. Tonight s special report about how harris is surging in ways that can help her win, and the evidence on trump adapting to new tools online. This is the key terrain for modern campaigns. It helps explain how harris was underestimated, but is now on fire. It also may offer clues to the home stretch, the next few months of this race. Consider how the campaigns are now touting their allies by one example. Historically a candidate would highlight an endorsement, in person, of course, and maybe add some interviews with journalists. Here s a throwback to how they used to do it, how then candidate mitt romney was, believe it or not, at the time, touting then businessman and tv personality, donald trump. They held that event, they did those interviews. That was then. Now when trump wants to showcase a business endorsement, say, elon musk, they duck independent journalists or their own supporters in person, and held the virtual talk on t
To deliver a speech on the economy. How the former president donald trump is teeing off on that. Good morning, it is friday. You made it, america. I m bill hemmer, live in new york. How you feeling?. Dana: good, but i m bleeding. Bill: you are bleeding?. Dana: i am dana perino. Everything is fine. Bill: get a bandaid. Dana: this is america s newsroom, great show today. Harris has gone 26 days without an interview or news conference. Americans continue to face high prices across the board. Bill: the vice president will talk about focus on grocery bills and push a ban on price gouging. Critics are saying the vice president has been talking about these issues for years. Cost of groceries gone up, cost of gas gone up. One of highest priorities for the president and me. Fighting inflation is one of our administration s top economic priorities. For many americans, prices are too high and we will address that. Twh i am president, it will be my day one priority to fight to bring down prices. D
