Harris has a Twopoint Lead in wisconsin. Both results are within the Margin Of Error with the New York Times saying this could be the closest race in modern u. S. History. Donald trump was back on the Campaign Trail Today in pennsylvania, where he doubled down on his recent comments about Vice President Harris being, mentally impaired. There is something wrong with kamala. I just dont know what it is, but there is definitely something missing. You know what, everybody knows it. Shes a stupid person. This is the republican standard. While Donald Trump is frothing personal insults, the void of rational policy on a daily basis, Vice President Harris has been outlining her plans to enforce border security, and to improve the outlook for every americans. Vice President Harris will appear at a rally in las vegas. This will mark her eighth trip to nevada this year. Next week she will return to pennsylvania and michigan. But in the race for control of the united states senate, democrats are shifting their focus beyond Swing States. On flipping the seats in texas and florida. The democratic Campaign Committee announced a multi million Dollar Investment on Television Ads that target, ted Cruz And Rick scott won by single digits. The senate seats were once considered safe. And either state would be huge, especially given polling that democrats are fairing better to hold on to seats in michigan and wisconsin. It would be vital for a Harris Administration because it is the senate that confirms appointments to the cabinet including the supreme Court Scam Bast kors. As my next guest very well knows. Joining me now is Gary Peters of michigan. Hes the chair of the Campaign Committee and chair of the homeland security committee. Thank you very much for coming back to the Sunday Show. So today, the story says democrats maintain for keeping control of the senate. And those in michigan, wisconsin, hold leads. Ive heard you say before that you are confident they will hold on to the 50 seats that they currently have. Why are you so confident . Im confident for a couple of reasons. One is essential to have on your side as we do. We have strong incumbents and challengers who have been able to run against the margins. And the republican candidates, as i have been saying and you look at their records, i say you could put them on that continuum from flawed to seriously flawed. Most are pushing the envelope. So we could paint that contrast. But just having the best candidate doesnt mean youll win. You have to run a really great campaign. Thats what theyre doing just like last cycle, theyre working very closely with these incumbents to make sure we have a strong ground game. And in these close races, its about turning out your voters, doing that on the ground, which were going to do again. Okay, thats the 50 states. Now lets talk about texas and florida because a lot of people were surprised by the move that youre making to put in resources. What are you seeing on the ground in texas and florida that precipitated this move . We are clearly focused to make sure we hold our 50, and to do that, we need help. And if you look at whats happening in texas and florida, we have strong challengers. Ted cruz won by 2 in his last race. Rick scott has never won by more than 1 . We see these numbers in the Margin Of Error and that is momentum as we want to make sure were playing offense as well as defense. The best defense is the best offense. But clearly these are expensive states, where we need to continue to raise resources, which is why defendthesenate. Org is critical. We are able to help folks or candidates in both texas and florida, as well as defend our seats. But it will take support as well as individual contributors. I would encourage everyone to look at florida and texas. If you believe in our candidates there, please invest. The campaign is sitting on gobs of money. But how much can the Harris Walz Campaign help . Can you get some of that money that they have raised . They can. In fact, we have had a transfer of 10 Million from their campaign, but were also working very closely. If you think of our battleground state, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, arizona, nevada, those are also key states for the president and the Vice President to win the presidency, so we are coordinating with them, which will help us a great deal. And ohio is tough. Clearly the state where we are on our own, and we will be pushing in florida. And that is why those folks that will help our efforts in all those states. And with those resources, we see the momentum where we are close. Dont talk about Margin Of Error. And that is a great way to look at it. Whoever will put in the most efforts of the remaining day will win control of the senate, and they will win the presidency. As we will have to make sure she wins with a senate that will back her up every step of the way. You mentioned montana being a tough seat. How tough is it . Is Senator Tester done . If you read some of the press, they are basically writing that now. And that is absolutely not the case. Jon tester knows how to do this. We knew the race would be very close in the Margin Of Error. And we turned folks out. This is a smaller state. Where they matter and as authentic as you could possibly get in the state of montana. And he is going to run strong. Hes going to run hard. I believe hell win. And let me get your reaction to something that Larry Hogan had to say today on one of the Sunday Shows. I think ive been one of the leading voices for my party for quite some time. And im continuing to do that as we are running ahead of Donald Trump in our state. And i have a completely separate identity after being governor for two terms in the blue state or one of the blue states of america. And senator peters, is that going to fly . No. And it is absolutely false. Hes a republican. Lets be very clear. He is a republican. If you were to win the seat in maryland, he will vote with the republicans, which could give them the majority. If they have the majority, they could block Kamala Harris as the incoming president on everything. It would be difficult for them to get members of the cabinet as you would think about federal judges and how important they are to maintain the Rule Of Law in this country. Larry hogan is a republican who will vote for a republican majority in the united states senate. He has to be blocked. Maryland is a strong democratic state. And if anyone in maryland is voting for Kamala Harris, you have to vote for our candidate. And so she is doing, angela is an amazing candidate. People need to support her. She will make a great united States Senator. Senator Gary Peters, chair of the Campaign Committee. As always, thank you for coming to the Sunday Show. Thank you. Its good to be with you. Coming up from saying they are poisoning the blood of america. They will get more disturbing every day. Joining me next with a look at the strategy behind Donald Trumps demonizing rhetoric. And Plus Snl is back. Maya rudolphs awaited return did not disappoint. Well take a look at some of the shows top moments later on in the show. Make a statement of barely making a Sound And Command the road as well as what lies ahead . How we get there matters. Get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. These migrants, they dont commit crimes like us. No, no, they make our criminals look like babies. These are stone cold killers that walk into your kitchen, theyll cut your throat. I had not heard that before. Former president Donald Trump is doubling down and there may be a method to this madness who explains that the strategy is clear. Make white voters afraid again. And so the theory is that by supercharging race, a reliable winner, they could compensate for the unpopularity of the trump campaigns actual policy agenda. Trumps rehashing of the rhetoric comes as a new Nbc News tell Mundo And Cnbc poll shows that harris has a 14 Point Lead over trump among Latino Voters. 54 to trumps 40 . Yes, thats a big lead. But its a shrinking one. Down from what might seem like a big lead. Its a shrinking one. Im sorry, president biden had a 36Point Lead in 2020. Hillary clinton had a 50Point Lead in 2016. Joining us Now Atlantic Staff Writer who is also the author of the cruelty is the point. The past, present, and future of trumps america. Here with me now on set, Pulitzer Prize Winner and founder. Adam, maria, thank you both for coming to the Sunday Show. And explain what you mean when you say this is a part of trumps strategy. Is this something his Campaign Advisers are, you know, crafting, telling him to do, or is it him speaking off the cuff or both . I think it is clear trump believes a lot of this stuff. And what im making, it does not matter about the stuff hes saying is true. He wants people to be afraid of them. And in order to ensure they vote for him in spite of the fact he has a very standard republican agenda on abortion that is very unpopular that is being covered up about immigration, that largely relies on falsehood. And voting for him through propaganda. You can see it with the stories of the immigrants in ohio as they kept ago them any way because they think this issue is a winner for them, whether youre criticizing him or agreeing with him. As long as that issue is out there, they believe they will benefit from it. And maria, that is the scary thing, saying the slitting of the throats. And after nine years was shocking, and yet to that point, this works . Right. So the thing is as long as Donald Trump continues to point all of this hatred, then people will not actually open their eyes and say huh, i actually live in a community with a lot of immigrants. And they are not committing these crimes. Meanwhile Donald Trump is saying they are doing this, they are doing this, theyre come to move into your community and take over your next door neighbors home and its not true. If we lived in this society right now, jonathan, The One Donald Trump describes, we wouldnt have an immigration problem. We would have a massive crime problem, and we dont according to all of the data. And so maria, implicit in what you just said to me. It seems to me to be a criticism of the harriswalz campaign. Do you think they are not addressing more head on issues of immigration . Is that, does she need to do more of that, do you think . In the sense of putting her faith based on reality. And she needs to hold a Prime Time address with a white board, where shes got all of the statistics, all of the data, and shes able to say look, this is the falling data in terms of crime from the fbi and the department of justice. These are actually what we are seeing. She needs to use the data to combat it, but she cannot do it passively. Shes got to address it and take it head on. And i take marias point. But adam, are we too far gone . With a white Board And Data points and all those things, would they do anything to blunt this sort of emotional speech that we are getting from Donald Trump . No, ill be honest. They cannot individually reverse that kind of Public Opinion that is built up over years about immigration and the border. The fact is a lot of americans who do not think of themselves that way believe false things about immigrants being a drain on social services, and that they are responsible for Job Loss and for the housing crisis. None of those things are true, but they dont know they are true because most of the times they will see stories about immigration or they open the newspaper. It is about extremely negative stuff. And theyre reacting to that shift on immigration, where they are reacting to it and they put up the chart. This is the way the media covers the issues. Even though migration is down, we are showing how the game works. We cannot expect politicians to correct americans broadly held misconceptions, but they are willing to do that. And that is what i keep saying as you know, jonathan, i have been saying this for a long time. Instead of spending the last four years or eight years or 20, saying oh my gosh, theyre amazing. They would see the space, and the republicans have been going after this nonstop. So i agree with you, but i still think we dont just shrug and say okay, nothing needs to be done. And i have to squeeze this one more question in. This is for you, maria. And this is from the Cnbc Telemundo Poll that shows the Shrinking Majority of Latino Voters in favor of the democratic candidate. As we see, it is not it. And in favor of the candidate. Thats The One that is suppose to be with Vice President Harris at 54 . Its a 14Point Lead. Is that it . Yes, so there it is. She has a 14Point Lead that has been shrinking after each consecutive president ial election from 2016. Why is that . Why is the chair of the latino Vote Shrinking . And latinos want to be white. They want to be with the cool kids. I ask them all the time and they just say well, if its not Donald Trump, he is such a good businessman. Its like no, hes not, he had bankruptcies, but they dont want to be identified with all the other immigrants that he speaks so badly of. And so lets be with him. But those numbers, they could cost Kamala Harris the election. Everything that i have been saying they could push her over the top. These are the numbers that could also take her down. I apologize for asking you with no time. It is a conversation that i want to have with you as we get closer because i do think that it is important. And thank you very much for coming to the Sunday Show. I want you to be back when we have more time. Up next, minnesota governor, Tim Walz, and j. D. Vance will go head to head entasis Vice President ial debate. Whos got the upper hand with maria and charles coman jr. In the Sunday Show. Stay with us. And more absorbent.
