Reaction tonight after trump told women, quote, i am your protector while a republican candidate for senate asked why women over 50 even care about abortion . The latest tonight on the news, Sexual Assault claims against Sean Diddy combs is latest accuser and tearful Press Conference Today says that she was drugged right and filmed im kaitlan collins, and this is the source now officially six weeks away from Election Day and you know, youre getting close when you hear this sound adds the excitement and also the very real anxiety out there among some as the latest Numbers Tonight are confirming that this race is a true cliffhanger. Brand new cnn reporting tonight shows a virtual tie between Vice President harris and former President Donald Trump. Theres no clear leader in this race and the results of this nationwide survey of likely voters is well within the margin of error. Look at these numbers harris 48 trump, 47. Voters are telling us that far and away the most important issue to them is the economy. 41 say that, say that is their Number One issue, while 21 believe its protecting democracy. And then immigration and reproductive rights as for who voters trust more to handle their biggest concern right now, trump is leading harris by 11 points. It 50 to 39 . Trump contrasted his economic plans with his opponents out on the Campaign Trail Today if Kamala Harris gets four more years, she will d industrialized the United States and destroy our country under Kamala Harris, we lost 24,000 manufacturing jobs last month, 24,000 were going to turn that around so fast. This horrific nightmare for american workers and the day i take the oath of office i should note trumps own record on manufacturing from when he was in office is quite mixed. Were going to look at that tonight, but this is all coming as the Vice President is set to outline more of her economic vision when shes in Pennsylvania Tomorrow and joining me now is kentuckys democratic governor andy beshear, who is a surrogate for the Herat Erez campaign. Its great to have you here. Governor, we heard from Donald Trump today talking about his economic policies that he would implement if he wins a second term. Vice president harris is set to lay out her agenda tomorrow, and this comes as eu but the suit new cnn numbers that are out today show likely voters trust him more than they do her on the economy, 50 to 39 . Why do you think that is . Well people dont always remember the recent past. Donald trump left the american economy in shambles yes it was during a pandemic, but it grew very, very difficult, especially near the end. His economic policy, which includes tariffs he started to implement. And what we saw were other countries putting their own tariffs on products, including Kentucky Bourbon the policies of Donald Trump in the economy certainly hurt my state and would hurt them again if implemented again. But i think you see his policy being all about how he feels on a certain day and what country is going to put a tariff on her policies are about us there are about a middleclass tax cut, there, about affordable housing. There, about the families in kentucky and across the United States of america. Yeah. But and shes called trumps tariffs a trump sales tax, trying to tax, try to get him that way, something that you know, your own Home State Senator Mitch Mcconnell criticized today. But but on her Weve Seen Voters want to know about more about her. So what does she need to say specifically in Pennsylvania Tomorrow to change that number well, first of all, its going to be a close race regardless, and we knew that, but she is generating the type of energy where i believe that she is going to win. I think she just needs to keep talking about how she cared theres about the american people, and how shes going to move us forward. Now, Donald Trump will talk for an hour and a half or, or an hour, and well talk mainly about his grievances. Shes out there talking about not just not going back, but how we move forward. And sometimes it takes awhile of telling your plan over and over of middleclass Tax Cuts thats of affordable housing. She is the first president ial candidate that i can remember in my lifetime to address affordable housing. And its something that my state in every state is dealing with right now. I think Thats Something that people are going to hear and respond to. I mean, shes got six weeks from today. Do you think she can do that . Absolutely. I want you to listen to part of what trump said recently where he was is asked for specifics for his plan and we have not gotten details really from either of them too detailed on what their plans are economically, even though thats the Number One concern for voters, listen to what trump had to say recently about this what are the specific mechanics of how prices come down . The steps that would be taken in a second term for you. Show, first of all, she cant do an interview. Theyre going to destroy lives theyre going to destroy what they have done to this country. And especially in the sense of allowing millions and millions of people come in because Thats Something we can fix the Gasoline Relation and we can fix the Anything Prices come down magically because its not them who come down with energy and they come down with interest rates, were going to get, as i told you, were going to get energy down by 50 and 12 months i have it. Its going to be a major smash on energy i mean that was a Word Salad from him, but voters trust that guy more than they do. Your candidate right now. Well, more voters need to see that because the question were, how are you going to bring prices down if the answer is because shes bad, any interviews i ive heard some of the criticism of the Vice President but when those questions are asked, she at least outlines abroad plan. I get that there are more questions about specifics, but its a real answer that has real policies that she can pursue go into the specifics. Well, Donald Trumps answered everything is just elect me and i itll work out there is no comparison between the two of them about whos putting out real ideas and who is simply running to address grievances from years ago, you mentioned how close this race is. I mean, the numbers out today from cnn national poll among likely voters first 48 , harris, 47 trump. If those numbers are accurate and this race was held tomorrow. Do you think trump would win . I dont i believe that which ever side has the energy especially near the end, is The One that ends up winning. Its the turnout that you see on the ground. And while donald, trumps energy is flat. There is so much momentum behind the Vice President. You see that in terms of volunteers, you see that in terms of fundraising, you see that in terms of how people are excited at the events that she is at an excited to support her energy is so critical especially william, the last six weeks of an election. And obviously abortion is Something Else that your party is counting on. You ran on abortion as an issue, not something we would typically see a democrat do in a Red State like kentucky, but it was something that you made a priority of yours and Donald Trump has been talking about this issue, are out on the campaign trail. Listen to what he had to say two women last night because i am your protector. I want to be your protectors president. I have to be your protector. I hope you dont make too much of it. I hope the fake news as ago, he wants to be there protecting well, i am as president , i have to be your protector. You will no longer be thinking about abortion is that what you think women, how women will feel after the election that they wont be thinking about abortion anymore if he went middle. Of course, therell be thinking about it. Donald trumps handpick supreme court took a constitutional right away from my mom. My wife, my daughter, and half this country that its left in states like mine with the most draconian laws on the books ten, 12yearold girls impregnated through rape with no options. He keeps saying its a beautiful thing to leave this to the states, not in my state. What its done it is couples that have wanted to have kids so badly, but have a nonviable pregnancy if its not going to ultimately kill the woman shes got to carry it to term just to listen to her child die at 85 of kentuckians disagree with that its far too extreme you talk about extreme and we hear how your party talks about what would happen if trump is reelected. But you have a lot of people in your state who are trump supporters. I mean, you know, these, these voters very well just as well as you know, your own voter, some of them may be Trump Bashir voters. When you look at numbers that say 47 of registered voters would feel afraid if trump won 45 would feel afraid if she won what does that say to you about how they view her wide . Why do you think theyre afraid 45 of registered voters are worried about a harris win. Well, because Donald Trump and his Campaign Uses fear. Thats the Number One thing they push. Fear and also trying to appeal to Anger Discontent to turn one neighbor against another. My faith tells me you were supposed to love our neighbor, as ourselves and that Parable Of The Good Samaritan says everyone is your neighbor. And so i think what weve got to after this election is turned down, the temperature we might not always agree with our neighbors, but we want them to do well and we really want their kids to have more opportunity. Now, everything doesnt have to be a partisan clash. We shouldnt have to pick sides and everything from the car we drive to the beer we drink, yes, beer became political somehow over the last couple of years. I believe the Vice President can get us there i believe that looking forward means we can leave the device of politics of the past behind us. And i hope for that because im, im raising 15 and a 14yearold, i want them to grow up in a World And Vote in a world where politics isnt as divided and nasty as we see it right now, do you think karen its needs a second debate i believe that the Vice President won that debate going away. I dont think theres any way after she won by that much that the former president is can agree to another one. So you think there wont be another . Debate among the president ial candidates . Well, unless Donald Trump overrules his people, which have to be telling him theres no way you should go in again because i mean, just the not only her performance but his taking the bait getting into grievances, not talking about things like policy, but instead about crowd size. And it was a really bad debate for him and again, there were some questions that it didnt appear that he even could answer. Well, and obviously it could be quite helpful for her. I would imagine two weeks out for the Election Given Voters want to know more about her, the Vice President ial debate well be a week from today. Its going to be governor Tim Walz against senator j. D. Vance what do you what would you do if you were debating j. D vance one week from today . Well, Tim Walz is a great friend, a great governor, and hes going to be an amazing Vice President of the United States. Tim walz is such a good person and putting him next to j. D. Vance on stage shes hes already going to start ahead. J. D. Vance insults everyone. He insults adults without children. He is so insults people with cats. He just its like always theres this air of superiority and the american people dont like that. Tim walz is the now Tim Walz was a Lunch Room Monitor that, you know, was the assistant Football Coach thats out there. And as my friend, i can tell you, he is as genuine as anybody in politics. Tmz just got to be himself and let j. D vance be himself kevin and bashir. Thank you for being yourself and for joining us. Thank you very much. Have the on set .

Next tuesday at nine some Breaking News for you tonight as the Trump Campaign just now says that he was briefed today by us intelligence officials on threats from iran to assassinate hed have a Troll Campaign said, in a quote, real and specific threats from iran to assassinate him and describe this as an effort to destabilized and sow chaos in the United States. Now i should note some important context here, because this comes after i recently reported that intelligence officials had briefed the Trump Campaigns senior officials whether the Trump Campaign just about two weeks ago on irans efforts to escalate attacks on him and those around him. I do want to be clear tonight that right now there is no evidence that either of the attempts on his life, The One in butler, pennsylvania or in palm beach, florida had to do with iran its an important story we will keep you updated on that also on the political front tonight, theres a republican candidate for national office who is now facing scrutiny over comments that he made about women. Weve heard a lot of what senator j. D. Vance calls childless cat ladies. And now tonight there is ohio Senate Candidate Bernie moreno talking about women the over 50 during a recent town hall. Now in the tape, im about to show you morenos democratic opponent Thats Senator Sherrod brown. He is seizing on these comments on this clip, putting out a video of his own that shows a woman reacting to What Moreno said abortion abortions i will vote for anybody else okay. A little crazy by the way its especially for women, theyre like past 50, think it was on as you view ill even know what to say, like honestly and i am a mother, a daughter, sisters i have a granddaughter of course it matters to me now spokesman for moreno is responding and saying the comment that you heard him make, there was a quote, Tongue And Cheek joke about how democrats treat Women Voters. But this is all coming as democrats and Vice President Kamala Harris are campaigning heavily on abortion and rights nationwide right . Thank we should eliminate the filibuster for roe. 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in along the protections for reproductive Freedom Perspective now from my panel of political experts and i, i just first, whats your response to what the Moreno Campaign is saying essentially that everyones taking that too seriously and its just a joke. Well, look, this is what always happens, is that republicans flub people, find out about it. It goes viral. They look ridiculous and then they say, oh, it was the democrats fault. I was just saying it was the democrats. I mean, No Ones buying that anymore. Heres what we saw on display is that for whatever reason they think that its a winning strategy to Insult And Disrespect more than half of the population, no matter what age she might be. And i just dont understand why strategically that feels like the right thing to do no matter what you believe, to just insult women. And the fact that they have mothers and sisters and daughters, right and still have such a deal . This regard for women is just mindboggling to me. I dont know how they think theyre going to win that way and lets all be reminded that 57 of women rejected Donald Trump, which is why lost. Well, and its interesting because its not just democrats like Sherrod Brown, obviously he wants to take advantage of this because its six weeks out from the election and they believe it thats an issue that works from them. Nikki haley, tw, is also responding to this tonight. She posted an asked if moreno is quote, trying to lose the election, and she called his com
