• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Since July twenty one, when Joe Biden said that he
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: wasn't going to run anymore, this race has really changed.
• 0:16

  Speaker 2: states pole So Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Northlina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: She is tied or she is winning there. Donald Trump
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: only leads in one at the moment, and that's in Nevada.

  Speaker 2: Really illustrating how much this race has changed. And back
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: in May, he was winning almost all of those states

  Speaker 2: across multiple piles. So Donald Trump is really trying to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: take back the narrative here. She's been out campaigning with
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a new running mate, and he's been having to hold
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: these sort of random press conferences that have fact check

  Speaker 2: commentary from Donald Trump tomorrow.

  Speaker 1: a daily banner. How many days we've gone without a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: press conference from Karmala Harris? Is anyone paying attention to that?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: This is a conversation that is starting to get more
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: airtime here in the US. So Kamala Harris hasn't done
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: any sit down interviews of note orty press conferences where
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: she's taken questions that aren't pre arranged since she has
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: come into the top of the ticket, so she's under
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: pressure their She did say last week that she was
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: trying to arrange something this month, but she hasn't done
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a sixty minutes interview, nothing like that. And I think
• 1:37

• 1:40
  Speaker 2: build some pressure and it is becoming a bit of
• 1:42
