The Michigan secretary of state joined CNN on Monday night to react to a new report that identified the campaign aide for former President Donald Trump who prosecutors said tried to "sow confusion" in Detroit, at one point even urging a colleague to "find a reason" to challenge legitimate votes that heavily favored Joe Biden.

Special counsel Jack Smith wrote in his massive new filing in Trump's Washington, D.C. election subversion case that "Person 5," a campaign employee and co-conspirator, "tried to sow confusion" during the vote count process. When told by a colleague that they believe the batch of votes is right and "heavily" favored Biden, "Person 5" responded "find a reason it isn't" and "give me options to file litigation" — "even if itbis (sic)."

A former Trump White House deputy press secretary told an MSNBC host Monday evening that Vice President Kamala Harris is hitting the right notes in her media tour by going on shows that are key to the media diet of disengaged voters and saying things that will appeal to them.

The key example they focused on was "Call Me Daddy" with Alexandra Cooper, one of the nation's most popular podcasts, where Harris hit back at the recent comments by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) that Harris, not being a biological mother, didn't have kids to keep her "humble."

Former President Donald Trump's insinuation that migrants have "bad genes" during his interview with right-wing talk radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday contains echoes of murderous hatred from the past, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned MSNBC's Jen Psaki.

"You are a child of immigrants yourself, also as Secretary of Department of Homeland Security, you oversee, you watch this issue closely," said Psaki, who previously served as White House press secretary. "I want to play something he said this morning and get your thoughts on that."

Left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who correctly predicted former President Donald Trump would win in 2016 and that Republicans would not have a blowout victory in 2022, has a new prognostication on CNN: Vice President Kamala Harris does not need to run away from liberal causes to win in 2024.

That's because, he argued, the same army of women who stormed the polls in 2022 will dictate 2024 — and then some — driven now, as then, by the same rage over the loss of abortion rights, that has only driven more grim headlines in recent months.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre battled with reporters in the daily briefing Monday when questions were raised about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' (R) refusal to take calls from President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Helene — and Donald Trump's false claims about relief funding.

"It's up to him if he wants to respond to us or not," the Jean-Pierre said about DeSantis. "But what we're doing is we're working with state and local officials to make sure we are ready to be there for the communities that are going to be impacted. We are doing the job." She was speaking as another hurricane bearing down on Florida was upgraded to a Category 5 storm.

It also incudes people who may currently be in state or federal prison.

CNN host Dana Bash claimed former President Donald Trump was "hurting" his own MAGA voters by spreading conspiracy theories about FEMA support in western North Carolina in the aftermath of flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.
