'It’s a real thing': Ex-GOP official says 'whisper caucus' of Republicans will pick Harris

One Republican former statewide elected official from one of the most important swing states thinks there's a burgeoning movement within his own party that could prove decisive in the November election.

In a recent NBC News report, former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan — who has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris — described how many Republicans are susceptible to "peer pressure" in politics. According to Duncan, his fellow Republicans are likely to say they'll vote for former President Donald Trump to each other, but cast their ballot for Harris in the private comfort of the voting booth.

Watch: GOP voter bluntly explains how the party drove her to become a 'Harris supporter'

A Republican voter who resides in battleground Arizona provided MSNBC host Ali Velshi with a very detailed and brutal explanation why she is may abandon her party and why she will be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Velshi explained to his MSNBC colleague Alex Witt that he convened a panel of Democrats and Republicans to talk about the upcoming election in November that pits Harris against Donald Trump, and then shared a clip of one unidentified woman who claimed the Republican Party today is unrecognizable to her.

In the clip she began, "I am heartbroken about it and I don't really know if I am going to remain a Republican."

"I would also say I am in no man's land, but now I am in women's land because I am a Harris supporter," she continued. "I just don't know if I will be able to stay with the party and the Republican party I joined was the Republican party that really respected the patriotism of the other."

"Remember, small government and not overreaching into your life or your life or your life whether it is how you want to present or your identity or it's your economic background or it is your race, your culture, your faith?" she elaborated. "I was attracted to the Republican party because it was less government; we were supposed to be getting out of people's lives and respecting how they choose to live and respecting that in harmony. And we have become the overreach, we have become precisely the opposite."

Following the clip, MSNBC's Velshi revealed the 6 person panel was made up of both Democrats and Republicans and that all of them admitted they would be voting for Harris.

'Guess what? Trump is not winning' in Judge Chutkan's courtroom: former U.S. attorney

After admitting that the legal proceedings against Donald Trump being heard in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan is progressing exceeding slowly, a former U.S. attorney suggested the former president is not on a path to defending himself successfully.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance made the case that Chutkan is on the right path by allowing filings from special counsel Jack Smith to become public as he pursues Trump for attempting to interfere with the 2020 election results.

Contrary to the former president's constant complaints that the prosecution by Smith is "election interference," the former DOJ official pointed out it would be election interference if Chutkan kept the information secret before voters go to the polls.

"I think that while there are legitimate criticisms that the Justice Department moves slowly in this regard, this case is now in front of the court," she told host Phang. "There are some procedural hooks, like this entitlement that Trump has to take appeals all the way to the Supreme Court on immunity issues, and of course, there is a unique concern here. Because Donald Trump, if he regains the White House, could, in fact, put an attorney general in place who would dismiss the prosecution against him."

"But, the reality is that we need to focus more on the reality of what is in front of Donald Trump right now, this prospect of prosecution, and less on the ways he might avoid it," she suggested. "I think that is a narrative trap that we have fallen into, this idea that Trump always wins. Guess what? Trump is not winning in a federal courtroom in Washington, D.C. Instead, a judge is treating him fairly."

"This week she [Chutkan] ruled in his favor on some requests for additional discovery, but she also ruled against him on issues that any other criminal defendant would lose on," she told the host. "Jack Smith will get a fair trial. The American people will get a fair trial. Donald Trump will get a fair trial if this case is permitted to proceed."

'He got dog-walked': Trump trolled by critic for fleeing interviews

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested that Donald Trump's recent flurry of bailing out on interviews and public appearances before adoring crowds is the residue of his poor showing when he debated Vice President Kamala Harris weeks ago.

Speaking with host Katie Phang, the Texas Democrat said the former president was "dog-walked" by Harris before a massive television audience and he hasn't recovered.

"We know that, well, there was a debate and, while there were dogs that were mentioned, it seemed like the only person that got dog-walked was him," she joked. "And he got dog-walked to the extent that he did not want to be walked anymore."

"And so, we know that he is skipping out on all of his interviews," she elaborated. "He won't show up to '60 Minutes,' he won't show up to CNBC, he won't show up to really to anything."

"So, to me, for anyone that questions who has strength and who is weak, it is very clear. There is only one person that has decided she will go into the belly of the beast, including Fox News, to make sure that she will make her point," she added.
