montana, voted to protect abortion rights. the vote tonight nullifies the states six-week abortion ban, passed by republicans in the ohio legislature that is currently being challenged in court and joining us now we think is steve kornacki, the national political correspondent for nbc news an msnbc or perhaps not. the control room thought we had steve cord aki and we thought he was going to be wandering into this studio, but he may be stuck between studios somewhere on this floor. we're gonna find. and we're gonna get him back. instead, joining us now is sherrod brown, democratic senator from ohio. mr. brown, what is your take on what the voters of whole ohio have delivered? >> not thrilled. i started to shut hijack your show for a moment and, do a shout out to the victory party in columbus, they have a lawrence o'donnell on the screen. volunteers have been in the vineyards fighting for years for women's health and women's rights, and a whole bunch of volunteers and fundamentally they're all saying that women should make that choice, women and their doctors should make the choice on what they want to do with their health care, not a bunch of politicians in columbus. and loud and clear they spoke in ohio, and it's good news in ohio, but you point out it's good news across the country because we see one case after another where voters say women and doctors should make these decisions, not a bunch of politicians in their state capital. >> do you see, in this, something that your colleagues, democratic senators, yourself, running for reelection, something in this that they can use? >> i think it's clear, which side you're on, and my race next year i've had obviously a long record of fighting for women's health issues and reproductive choice and freedom, and i in my opponent opponents, all three republicans in the primary next spring, all of them are calling for a national abortion ban. politics is not left or right. it's which side you are on. and that's why i asked people to come to sherrodbrown.com. it's volunteer, we're gonna win this race next year based on my record of fighting against special interests but also the fact that so many activists in ohio were discouraged. we won a big victory in august, to stop the rigging of the elections system the way that frank la rose and the others tried to bring it, and we saw these activists today with this win energized and they know they can change the world and change the country and change my state and that's the news to celebrate. >> how do you do it? how is it that you seem to be the only democrat who can win statewide in ohio? >> i think we're gonna see more of that. we've talked about this new. i think after the august, special voters want someone who's going to win -- taking on the railroads, taking on the drug companies, we brought the price of insulin down to $35 a month, brought the no senior pays more than $2,000 for drugs. taking on wall street. taking on oil, and voters on ohio know i'm on their side the left or right, they don't take a whole lot of who is fighting for them but they do think a lot about and that's why in the next 12 months people say how you gonna run your campaign? essentially i'm gonna do my job and continue making those fights for women's health, for consumer issues, taking on wall street and the drug companies and big banks. >> going back to the issue of the night in ohio, abortion rights, sometimes voters, when they go out there and they cast a vote like that, they think they're done. they think they have taken care of the issue in ohio. but of course a republican senate, and a republican house of representatives, could pass a federal ban on abortion that would apply to and override what the ohio voters did tonight. how do you keep voters engaged on that issue after some of them might think they have done their job tonight? >> they certainly did their jobs tonight. but it's more than that. i think we all kind of were a bit naive thinking that roe v. wade, women's right to reproductive rights will always be there, voting rights will always be there, consumer protections will always be there. well, they're not. because there are always people trying to take these away. my three opponents, there are three republicans running for this senate seat, two of them self funders, one of them an uber-partisan secretary of state, and all of them have said they won a national abortion ban. there are candidates all over the country like. that we win on this tonight very significant, and list all of us up and gets all of us and empowers us. but we need to continue into next year to make sure these candidates into ohio and annexed year who pledged to their base that they are going to pass a national abortion ban, we've got to make sure that doesn't happen. that's really my mission for the next 12 months. >> what do you think are issues number two and three for democrats? >> i think issues number two and three are two key buildings economy and making sure that voters understand the democrats in ohio for sure, that i'll continue to take on wall street. we've seen the kind of abuses wall street has done. we've seen bad trade deals that have shut down production of too many plants in my hometown of mansfield. we've seen wall street continue to try to take advantage of veterans. we did a hearing last week where these veterans are preyed upon they are protected by the consumer bureau. we've got to continue to come down on the side of regular people who serve this country, regular people just want to get through the daily mess of life and do okay in their lives, and too often they are preyed upon by all kinds of interest groups that don't really much care about them, and my job is to fight for people who too often are overlooked and ignored by our political system, by our government. >> what's your message for your fellow democratic senators when you get back into that senate luncheon room with the group? >> my message, today i talked to the group about the importance of standing strong on trade, to make sure that american, whether it's by america or whether it's trade agreements to protect american workers, i see the damage it has done. i see the industrial policy we now have to bring back more manufacturing. i have seen it start to happen in ohio. everything from broadband expansion in rural ohio to protecting consumers at the other end of the state in toledo, that will be continue to be my message. >> ohio senior senator sherrod brown, thank you very much for leading off our coverage. >> have a great evening. thanks s much. >> always have time for set up for the volunteers. now it's steve kornacki has found his way into our studio tonight. steve, what is the latest? one of the things we should be paying attention to now? >> the biggest outstanding piece of business right now is a virginia state legislature we are going through a few minutes ago. glenn youngkin in the republicans are trying to control both chambers. they have the house of delegates right now. they're trying to add to that the state senate. they've taken a couple of blows in the state senate side make that look very difficult for them, and they taken a few on the house side as well that make holding on to that very questionable for them. let's take a look here at mississippi. the governor's race in mississippi. you see about half the vote is in, the republican incumbent, tate reeves, as a 14-point advantage, but i think that could be a bit deceptive. this is going to tighten. the question is, how much is this going to tighten? one thing to keep in mind, when reeves got elected four years ago, the margin was only five points. the base question tonight in any given county is, is presley running by a margin five points better than the democrat when four years earlier, when he's doing that in a county where that post impotently in on track to win, there is also runoff possibility here. he needs to basically improved by about five points in any given county. let's look at a couple of we've got voting from. de soto county, right outside memphis, tennessee, a big fast growing county, tate reeves is leading this county by 18 points. four years ago tate won this by 23 points. so presley has shaved five points right now off of reeves advantage. we'll see what happens with the remaining vote, but that's what he needs to do. if he lost, if democrats lost by 20 points four years ago, presley these to get it 18 or less. now he has done it 18. that's kind of movement he needs to see. this is definitely going to get closer, in the question becomes, how much closer? this is the big question mark right now. hinds county, where the state capital of jackson iss, no votes in from there yet. one out of every ten votes in mississippi is going to come out of hinds county. the reason there are no votes in from hinds county is because sometime late this afternoon, they ran out of ballots. so they have kept the polls open, and live close throughout the rest of the state we've got reports in, a lot of reports from the rest of the state, nothing from hinds county. this is a huge core democratic county. in the 2019 governors race the democrat won it by 26 points and won the major points for brandon presley and the democrats, it's 70% black, so there's evidence in some of these mississippi delta counties, that have large populations of presley over performing where the democrats were four years ago so if that continues, if he ends up getting a huge number and a huge turnout out of hinds county, and also along the gulf coast, presley improved in some counties, this could get interesting. but we really, i think we're gonna spend a lot of time waiting for here, i think, is hinds and what it does as the other votes come out. >> are there any reports on how you run out of ballots in a heavily democratic area like that? >> as i said, if you are a presley campaign that might be an encouraging sign. because it was such a point of emphasis to drive up african american turnout. so if you find out that a 70% african american county ran out of ballots, it could be a sign that your strategy is working. >> steve, we will be coming back to you in the hour. thank you very much for that. another critical race for democrats to retain control of the senate next year is a heavily republican state of montana. democratic senator jon tester is running for reelection in the state that on trump won by 16 points in the last presidential election. today senator tester launched his first television ad of the campaign. >> three generations of my family have farmed this land outside of -- i know the montana that's worth protecting because i've lived it every day. where we look out for each other, where our word is our bond. but like so much of our state, it's changed. these are too expensive. some families are being forced to sell their firms. they've had four generations. we are losing access to our public lands. hell, even some of our favorite bars are closing. folks back in washington and even some folks moving here don't understand or frankly don't care what's happening out here. defending our way of life, with everything i've got. >> joining our coverage now is montano's senior senator jon tester, running for reelection. thank you very much for being here tonight. do you take any encouragement for your campaign out of what you are seeing in ohio tonight? >> absolutely. i think it applies to montana. i think montanans don't want federal government telling them what to do, and certainly women's health care decisions fall squarely into that. and so absolutely, it is very informative. in a state like montana that tends to be pretty libertarian, a vote in ohio, i think, applies very directly. we've got folks in montana who want to take away women's right to choose. they want to take away a woman 's right to make their own health care decisions. the governor of the republican state legislature, even after montanans had voted to keep it in the hands of the women, they have tried to undermine that every step of the way. so absolutely. i think that montana is going to reflect closely what happened in ohio tonight. >> we also see, in kentucky, a democrat winning the governorship, winning reelection to the governorship in another strongly republican state. that's a model for the way you run your reelection campaigns. >> look, andy beshear is a good man. he's got a great record. and he ran on that record and he won and he should've won. he served the state of kentucky very well. i think the same thing can apply to me. we've got a great record. i'm one of the most effective senators in the u.s. senate. we've done good things across the board, whether it's for veterans, and we're, cultures mall business, working families. it really is very broad based. we just gonna let folks know about that. we've also got to let them know where i come from and who i am. and that's exactly what that ad did. and for the folks out there that are watching, jon tester. come and get involved in this campaign. >> what's the contrast going to be between you and a republican in this election next year? >> i don't know who the republican opponent is going to be, honestly. mcconnell's got his person, the person who's in the eastern district of montana and congress is potentially going to run. it really doesn't matter. it's going to be about who can best serve montana back in washington, d. c.. who knows rural america, who knows montana. who is flat for montana and who's got things done for montana. i think when people take a look at my record and compare it to the other folks, the other records were pale in comparison. >> what would you call the top three issues in your campaign in montana? >> look, agriculture is always going to be a big issue because agriculture is the number one industry in our state. access to public lands. montana is the greatest state in the greatest country in the world. the reason it's a great state because we have public lands and people have access to those public lands to go hunting and fishing and hiking and biking and all of those quality of life things that are so very important. and then there is several more but i'll just talk about veterans. second highest per capita veterans in the country. our people serve at a higher rate than just about any of the state of the union. we are very proud of our military. and we're very proud of our veterans. we need to make sure that our veterans are taken care of when they come back from active duty and become civilians. and those are three issues that are very big in montana. they're also three issues that i've been very involved in. >> what's the democratic versus republican view of agriculture in montana? is there any difference in the parties on that? >> look, i think there is. a lot of issues. take a look at consolidation in the meatpacking industry. democrats are working to break that up. republicans, it's the same old same old stuff. competition is not too good in that industry, and quite frankly competition, or capitalism works very well where this competition. but there is a competition in. that who's bearing the brunt of that? the cow calf operators are bearing that. you can make the same argument for inputs for agriculture. there needs to be more competition in the marketplace. the fact that there's just a few seed companies, or just a few chemical companies, some flying farmers with chemicals, that's driving family farmers out of business. quite frankly, i've been fighting for those kind of issues since the very first day i walked through the doors of united states senate. to make sure we have competition. to make sure the farmers and ranchers get a fair shake. >> you are pretty much the only gets the comes on this program to talk about agricultural policy and government, and so i would love hearing the details of it. i hope the audience does, as well, because this is a very different state you are running in. where most of the people in this country live. as you go forward, what do you think are the stresses that you expect in the campaign next year? issues that could be live next year that aren't so prominent right now? >> so look, lawrence, what they have always done in every campaign that i have ever run in his they've tried to make me into somebody that i'm not so they can run against that person. they've already tried to do it in this election. they're going to do it over the next 12 months. there's no doubt about it. we have to remind people where i came from. i was basically, the town i was born in, i lived my whole life within hundred miles of that town before i got this job. my roots are deep. my grandparents, like grandmother, grandfather homesteaded the place we are on. i'm incredibly lucky man, my wife and i, to be able to form that land. people need to know. that people need to know that i fight for montanans every single day in a place where there is not a lot of representation of real rural america back here. and so they will try to make me into something i'm not. that's fine. let them do it. it's really hard for them to make me somebody i'm not because i am who i am. that's way of always been. we've won elections being who i am, and i'll continue to be that. will i say stuff that's inappropriate once in a while? sure. i will. but the bottom line is, i'm going to continue to make sure i'm looking out for rural america, making sure we have a seat at the table on every policy that comes up. >> senator jon tester who has never said anything inappropriate on this program, thank you very much for joining us again tonight. >> a pleasure to be with you, lawrence. >> and coming up, andrew weissmann and neal katyal will join me for a status update on the status of united states of america versus donald j trump in which special prosecutor jack smith filed four important motions. that's next. of doing things. america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars in new technologies and creating plastic products that are more recyclable. durable. and dependable. our goal is a cleaner, healthier planet for generations to come. for a better tomorrow, we're focused on making plastics better today. somedays, i cover up because of my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now i feel free to bare my skin, thanks to skyrizi. ♪(uplifting music)♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ i'm celebrating my clearer skin... my way. with skyrizi, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin, even at 5 years. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. thanks to clearer skin with skyrizi - this is my moment. there's nothing on my skin and that means everything! ♪nothing is everything♪ now's the time. ask your doctor about skyrizi, the #1 dermatologist-prescribed biologic in psoriasis. learn how abbvie could help you save. a mystery! jessie loves playing detective. but the real mystery was her irritated skin. so, we switched to tide pods free & gentle. it cleans better, and doesn't leave behind irritating residues. and it's gentle on her skin. tide free & gentle is epa safer choice certified. it's got to be tide. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> well, i think the most important thing for viewers to understand is the merits of the various motions are strongly on jack smith's side. but there are two motions where there's a concern that at least i have with respect to timing, and that i think jack smith did something very smart. he called those two motions. out one has to do with presidential immunity, and the other has to do with double jeopardy. the double jeopardy motion is beyond a loser, and it's really frivolous. the reasons those two motions are called objects myth because those are motions where donald trump could appeal those as soon as judge chutkan decides it he will, say that he has a right to, and he likely does have a right to appeal it to the circuit court, and he will seek a stay of the trial until that decision is made. and so what jack smith said to judge chutkan is, decide those first. you have a slow hole slew of decisions in front of, you but decide in this first. the only thing that could derail the march 4th date is a stay in those cases. now, again, i'm confident that neal has the same view, because he's such a good lawyer, that the merits of the case are not that concerning. the issue is whether the circuit are more likely, if the supreme court were to start monkeying with this, they would stay the trial date. so essentially this is jack smith saying please put your foot on the gas, we need to do this quickly. >> neal katyal, you are our appeals process expert. give us your timetable on the assumption that judge chutkan does prioritize the way jack smith is hoping she would, which, by the way, she may have chosen to do on her own anyway, without any suggestion, by jack smith. give us the timetable for how an appeal like that could work. >> i agree with andrew on the big picture here. the trump team with these four motions, they didn't just throw spaghetti at the wall. they threw the--, every argument you can come up with, they threw at the wall to see what would stick. and jack smith i think in these final findings and meticulously answer them all. so the question that andrew is pointing to is the right one, which, is what's the point of these motions? they are really going nowhere. but can they go somewhere in donald trump's ultimate strategy, which is to delay the trial passed the election? normally you can't bring an appeal of issues while the trial is going on. you've got to wait until the end. but double jeopardy is the one that supreme court has said you do have a right to an immediate appeal. and there has never been a concept of presidential immunity. it's totally made up by donald trump in his lawyers. but maybe that's an argument that has an immediate appeal appeal as well. so what would that try and timing look like? i expect judge chutkan to throw out these motions in fairly quick order. she's going to want to be meticulous, as she is, in writing the opinions, so it could be a couple of weeks for these opinions to come down and rule against on trump. they will rule against donald trump. and i almost never would say, this, but i will tell you, i'm quite confident that the d. c. circuit, the court of appeals, where trump would do next, would expedite the case and have fast briefing, fast oral arguments and we reject these motions by the end of january, if not before. so i think that these are really flimsy motions. the longest one that trump has filed says that he has the right as president to do anything, commit felonies, i suppose murder, embezzlement, launching coups, whatever. this cannot be the law. the d. c. circuit is not going to go for it. trump will take it to the united states supreme court where expect will grow no go nowhere just like his 62 losses in 2020 went nowhere. >> andrew, we saw a very fast appeals process on the florida documents case in judge cannon 's ruling's. that was by a circuit court that was dominated by republicans. >> there is no question that the circuit courts can move quickly, and this obviously is an extraordinary case. but as neal is pointing to this, it's not so much the d. c. circuit. it's whether there will be enough votes for a stay on one of these motions. the double jeopardy motion is beyond a loser. the claim there is that donald trump says i was tried for insurrection in the senate impeachment, and i can't be tried now here. the problemith that is that one, it's not a criminal case, so double jeopardy doesn't apply. but even if it did apply, the rule of double jeopardy is, you can'.t be tried twice for the same crime. well he is not charged with insurrection, so it's not the same crime. so it is really hard to imagine he would get a stay on that, because it's so frivolous. presidential immunity, well, i agree with neal it is a loser, but it is one of the least the supreme court hasn't addressed yet. there's a good reason they haven't addressed it yet. not even president nixon said that it would apply here. there is only a sense of civil immunity, not criminal immunity. there's just one i'm using part of the government's brief here, when they say this should be the outcome. the outcome they point to, among the hypotheticals, is a president selling nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary. that comes in a long list of things that donald trump would be allowed to do if the his argument prevailed. and if it was quite pointed, given the documents case in florida. >> so, neal, given the totality of where we are in this status review, what is your sense of the trial date in this case and the likelihood of it significantly moving? >> i feel it is march 4th, it's going to stick. the trial judge has been pushing for that date. she has alerted trump to that. all trump has done, if anything, in the interim, since she alerted trump to it, is make the case that the trial should be moved up because of all of his intimidation of witnesses and the like. the d. c. circuit, the u.s. supreme court, i do not see pausing this, staying it, to use the technical legal term, past march 4th. these are just such weak motions. i can't imagine that they would be able to get a majority of the supreme court to stand. >> neal katyal and andrew weissmann, thank you both very much for joining us. coming up, it is election night in america as we already know, and steve kornacki will be back with us at the big board for the latest election results, after this break. the family that takes delsym together, feels better together. why didn't we do this last year?

>> won races the battle for control of the virginia state legislature. let's start with that. on the state side again, coming into tonight, democrats lead, controlled chamber 22 to 18, now the associated press as cole 20 seats for democrats. they need 21 to get the majority in control of the chamber because a 2020 tie, the republican lieutenant governor would break the tie for the republicans. so the democrats are really on the cusp of maintaining control here, with four seats uncalled in the senate, two of those seats are held by democratic incumbents. one of them in a very tight race, the other as a lead with a lot of the voting in. either one of those goes to the democrats or one of the other two for that matter fairly close as well. and one of those four outstanding goes for the democrats. they maintain control of the state senate. remember, glenn youngkin, virginia republicans, their goal was to take back the state senate, and the general house of delegates side, 50 to 48 republicans coming in tonight, the current ap total is 45 of the democrats, 34 for the republicans. there are a number of uncalled races where democrats lead right now, and lead by a seemingly substantial, fairly substantial margins. so democrats have a clear path for them to get up to about 50 seats, 50/50. if this thing ended in a 50/50 tie, it would have to be a power sharing agreement. so neither party, if it ends in a 50/50 tie, really has functional control of the chamber. it's really a path for democrats to break 50 and actually get control of this chamber as well. again, it's the associated press call of the races at this hour. the other race we've been tracking, we're still very much a work in progress, is mississippi, and you could see down just over 60% of the vote in that governor's race, tate reeves's advantage over brandon presley, 12 points, and i say we continue but we are now getting votes in from hinds county, a very delayed poll closing in hinds county again, the biggest county in the state, a county that democrats won by 56 points in the last governor's election, and presley in the early voting has come out 73% in this county and that leads to the vote from hinds and where to come is going to bring presley closer statewide. the issue that presley is running into is, he has made gains in some counties. he had made gains in a number of counties from the democratic nominee in 2019, but it has not been consistent, and in fact in a couple of big counties, he is not doing anywhere near what the democrat did in 2019. for instance it is only about 40% of the voting. this was the democratic county in 2019. democrats carried this county and the governor's race for the first time in more than 30 years in 2019. so presley wanted to keep in the democratic fold and maybe even expand the margin. this looks like maybe reverting to pre-2019 form, reaves with a seven-point advantage. still a lot of vote coming in there, but that's a troubling sign, i think, for democrats. and also, again, the second biggest county in the state, just outside jackson, the state capital. it's a core republican county. but with 75% of the vote in that's a 34 point margin for tate reeves. he did grow up in this county, but, again, he did have a 26 point county for tate reeves in 2019. so a big share of the vote, and reeves seems to make a significant jump here from how he finished in 2019, similarly madison, i think the fourth largest county in the state. so that is bad news for democrats, what's happening outside the jackson area. the good news for them as a to get the votes reported out of hinds, we're jackson, is what is that going to be enough? the results were getting right now from madison and from rankin suggests even a huge number out of jackson and out of hinds county may not be enough there for presley. do remember, keep in mind, there is the scenario, if they both finish under 50%, that independent at one and a half could force a runoff in that scenario if nobody gets 50% plus one. but there's a sort of a mixed bag here as far as democrats are going and it may need more than a mixed bag to overcome the obstacles they faced to win this election. >> steve kornacki, thanks. we will be watching mississippi. thanks to you. i am here tonight because someone decided to change the direction of my life years ago. the story of the remarkable person who spent her life trying to improve this country through elections is next. through elections is next. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours!! not coughing?

how could he have become ambassador moynihan, senator moynihan, without liz? when pat was chairman of the senate finance committee and i was chief of staff of the committee, with a heavy legislative agenda, the three of us had dinner a few nights a week, and liz was always in the thick of our strategy sessions. liz could get very angry with pat when he seemed to be drifting from her advice. he never got angry with her. he would always get very quiet in the face of her anger, which always passed, eventually, and ended in laughter. i was never uncomfortable in those moments, because that's when i got to see the real glue of their lifetime romance. in anger liz was loud, pat was silent, and both were always respectful and loving. liz outlived pat by 20 years. she never stopped thinking about him. we never stopped talking about him. when i visited liz on sunday she was sleeping peacefully. the only sound in the room when i was alone with her was the sound of the new york city marathon finish line, which was right outside her second floor window. liz had this photograph at that window, across the room from her bed, the sound of triumphant marathon hours who just finished running 26 miles. the sound of people at their physical peak coming through the window of a death bed. elizabeth brennan moynihan's marathon was over as well. like the runners on the street, on the other side of that photograph, liz was in a loving embrace of family and friends. she was at the finish line. somedays, i cover up because of my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now i feel free to bare my skin, thanks to skyrizi. ♪(uplifting music)♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ i'm celebrating my clearer skin... my way. with skyrizi, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin, even at 5 years. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. thanks to clearer skin with skyrizi - this is my moment. there's nothing on my skin and that means everything! ♪nothing is everything♪ now's the time. ask your doctor about skyrizi, the #1 dermatologist-prescribed biologic in psoriasis. learn how abbvie could help you save. ♪ i'm getting vaccinated with prevnar 20®. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. i'm asking about prevnar 20® because there's a chance pneumococcal pneumonia could put me in the hospital. if you're 19 or older, with certain chronic conditions like copd, asthma, diabetes, or heart disease or are 65 or older, you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. that's why i chose to get vaccinated with prevnar 20®. because just one dose can help protect me from pneumococcal pneumonia. ask your doctor or pharmacist about getting vaccinated with prevnar 20® today. you're probably not easily persuaded to switch about getting vaccinated mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers?
