2024 Elections

According to the Guardian's Hugo Lowell, Donald Trump's chances of winning the election in November is being hampered by an understaffed get-out-the-vote effort in must-win states that likely can't be remedied at such a late date.

Speaking with MSNBC host Alex Witt, the Guardian reporter noted the massive disparity of paid Trump employees versus Vice President Kamala Harris staffers on the ground in the pivotal state of Pennsylvania because the former president's campaign decided to outsource contacting potential voters,

Adding to the problem is that it is difficult to find people who will now take what is in essence a job that will last less than 2 months.

Speaking with MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Saturday afternoon, former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen made the case that his former boss is an equal opportunity offender of various groups and races in America with the notable exclusion of two that he won't mess with.

Joking with the host as they discussed the former president's most recent targets, Haitian immigrants living legally in Ohio, Cohen claimed he actually showed up with notes for the first time to make his case.

"You came with receipts about the number of groups, with the exception of one or two, that Donald Trump has insulted in his tenure of politics," host Velshi prompted his guest.

"Yeah, the only two I can think of are white supremacists, as well the evangelical groups," the former attorney replied. "Short of that, there's not a single group in America, whether it is veterans, firefighters, police officers, Blacks, Jews, Mexicans —I actually brought it, it is the first time being on any show I've actually brought notes with me, but women, Asian Americans, Latinos."

"I mean we can go on here: Muslims, disabled people, Native Americans, obviously the Haitian immigrants, African nations, handicapped journalists, Puerto Ricans — you name it," he elaborated. "The question I would sort of pose is: why are there any members of these communities that would possibly vote for him, or think that he is the right person for the job of the presidency of the United States of America again?"

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning, Donald Trump's psychologist niece fumed at media outlets that have been accused of "sane-washing" her uncle's rambling speeches and answers to question to make it appear he was delivering a coherent message.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi and admitting she is suffering the effects of a bout with COVID, Trump claimed that the press covering for the former president and doing a disservice to the public and putting the country in danger.

Noting that she has previously written about "sane-washing" — a name given when journalists try and make Trump's point for him when he goes into one of his tirades — she explained, "The problem is that, it's not simply that many media outlets think that they need to translate Donald. First of all they are not telling us that is what they are doing but they are just pretending that he said these understandable coherent things."

"But much worse than that they are imbuing his meaningless statements with meaning that is not there," she accused. "Making him seem more serious and less delusional than he actually is, as you just pointed out."

Despite all the polling and commentary to the contrary, Donald Trump snarled at ABC on Saturday morning that he was the true winner of Tuesday's debate and then claimed the network is "under investigation."

Along the way, he claimed that the two moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, are "mentally challenged people" while he is a "genius."

According to MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin, there is good reason for prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office to go to Judge Juan Merchan and make the case that Donald Trump is in violation of his gag order.

Earlier in the week New York's highest court rejected Donald Trump's most recent appeal of the gag order in his Manhattan criminal trial where he was found guilty on 34 felony charges.
