  Speaker 1: Of Mitch mccannon's with us live from the States. Tom Mitch,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: good morning.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Bridgie.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: How are you.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm good, thank you? And has she when is she
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: going to announce her running mate? Is it in the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: coming days or will it be in the coming weeks.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It's in the coming day. So the race for running
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: mate is nearing a conclusion. According to the Harris campaign,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: they've revealed that the presidential candidate's going to hold her
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: first rally alongside her VP pick next Tuesday, like all time,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: so Wednesday morning in New Zealand, and it's going to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: be in Philadelphia. Now, there's some top contenders in this
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: race still, the Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a governor from Minnesota, and the Secretary of Transportation beat
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Pete Boodages. Now, this rally is taking place in Pennsylvania,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: but the campaign says, don't buy into that. It doesn't
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: mean it's going to be Josh Shapiro the governor. They
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: insist no campaign decision has been made. And just while
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, Bridgie, there's new polling that's just come
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: out in the last few hours for Kamala Harris. That's
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: she has erased Donald Trump's lead and the number of
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: swing states. So now she's winning in Michigan, Nevada, Arizona,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. North Carolina as still Trump, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: they're tied in Georgia. So this is a big comeback
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in the Democrats.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It is a massive comeback, although you could argue still
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a honeymoon phase for her. And when I was looking
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: much as I'm sure you have been, two at the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: biggest issues that voters are voting on. Number one is
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the economy. You'd have to say that that would be
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Trump's number two immigration, Trump's number three abortion is hers.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: But on those big issues, he's got the edge over her,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't he.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, they've been attacking the Biden administration over immigration
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: for a very long time now. Around ten million immigrants
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: have come into this country reportedly illegally in the last
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: three or so years. They are accusing her of being
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden's border czar, the person that was really overseeing
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: this for the administration. So they'll put new videos out
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: in the last forty eight hours accusing her of being
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the reason there are so many illegal immigrants in this country.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: So I think that's something we're likely to see in
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the coming months and in any debate if that actually happens.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitch, thank you. That is much McCann with us Stateside.
