Hi there, Everyone. 4 00 in the New York, a little more than halfway through the historic and unprecedented sprint that is the 2024 president ial election. 60 days since Vice President Kamala Harris launched her campaign. 47 days to go until Election Day in america. And voters are reacting to the contrast they see between the two candidates. A candidate of change, an unapologetically joyful warrior with a positive message about what she would do for everyday americans should we win in november she win in november. Squaring off against a deeply unpopular, frequently incoherent expresident who has pledged to, in his own words, quote, be a dictator on day one. A batch of new polls show Vice President harris in the strongest position of the race so far. The New York times poll showing her tied nationally with the expresident but leading in pennsylvania. Maris poll showing Vice President harris ahead in michigan and wisconsin. Thats within the margin of error. A Fox News Poll shows Vice Pre
Just part of her new warning about project 2025 and a trump second term immigration crackdown. Imagine what that would look like and what that would be. Harris using her platform to urge people to imagine and reckon with this Plan Trump immigration policy, as trump publicly vowed harsher and more violent crackdowns next year in we wins. Im going to play you the full statement here and some other big things that harris has been saying. But before i play that, lets be clear, the factual context and reporting matters. Harris is citing Donald Trumps past policies including how they sometimes illegally and often harshly targeted immigrants and their families and sometimes their children. And so, again, before i play harris for you, with regard to that history, Big Picture top line, i could tell you, Fact Check and true. And many americans may want to forget what it was like back then. But its important to confront that recent history and know and see these facts as the context for Harriss W
Thank you so much for letting us into your home during these extraordinary times. We are grateful. The beat with Ari Melber starts right now. Hi, ari. Hi, nicole. Welcome to the beat. Im Ari Melber. The top story, the 2024 campaign. We are one week out from the campaign. The Harris Campaign is hammering this stark contrast as what they see as a key Selling Point in her campaign and its current momentum. Today brand new, i can show you another contrast, we can tell you that now both nominees have done this key Interview Appearance here taking questions from several reporters on stage for the national association of black journalists. Trump did his all the way back 48 days ago. Harris did hers this afternoon, today in philadelphia. Its a Split Screen across time which shows the very different approaches on substances, facts and certainly style. I dont think ive ever been asked a question so in such a horrible manner, first question. You dont even say hello, how are you . First of all, le
The beat with Ari Melber starts right now. Happy monday. Happy monday and thank you, i appreciate it. I welcome everyone to The Beat and we begin the program covering the developments in the terrible, Near Miss Type Incident at Donald Trumps Golf Course on sunday. The secret Service Opening Fire after seeing a gun that was pointed inside the course, inside the area where the former president was. More details on exactly that exchange of gunfire and what happened and i can tell you with the most recent information, federal authorities are treating this as a second Assassination Attempt. The first occurred at the Pennsylvania Rally with shots fired, agents killing the shooter, and a Rally Attendee being fatally shot. Here, authorities have apprehended the suspected gunman, alive. 58yearold Ryan Routh charged with two federal counts of gun possession. The authorities are stressing how the investigation for determining the motive, thats an ongoing investigation and they also praised the re
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
