'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.

'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.

'C'mon, stop it!' CNN panelist snaps at conservative ducking Trump's bizarre antics

A CNN panel went briefly off the rails on Saturday morning with technology reporter and podcast host Kara Swisher lashing out at her conservative counterpart for ignoring Donald Trump's increasingly erratic behavior and comments.

With host Chris Wallace sitting in the middle, Swisher praised Vice President Kamala Harris for appearing on Fox News in an interview that quickly turned hostile, while noting the razor's edge a female candidate has to tread so as not to alienate easily bothered voters.

"I think because she doesn't have a y chromosome and doesn't get credit for things more than other people," Swisher told the panel. "I think she if she goes too far in attacking Biden or other people, she looks strident; they use words like strident or bossy or whatever."

Conservative commentator Reihan Salam weighed in with, "She hasn't actually said, look, there are folks in the immigrant rights movement who've gone too far."

"Donald Trump can't even complete a sentence," Swisher interrupted.

"The immigration movement has gone too far," Salam persisted. "She's basically saying my values haven't changed. She's trying to make this pivot without actually saying ..."

"Meanwhile, over on the other side Donald Trump is talking about Harvey Weinstein 'got schlonged.' I was shocked by that. Come on, stop it," Swisher shot back.

'Exhausted' Trump baited on MSNBC with 'comfortable' interview promise

After praising Vice President Kamala Harris for deftly handling an interview with a combative Bret Baier on Fox News earlier in the week, a tongue-in-cheek Michael Steele extended an invitation to Donald Trump to appear on his MSNBC "The Weekend" show with a tantalizing offer.

After noting that Trump insiders have admitted that the former president has been canceling interviews and appearances because he is "exhausted," the MSNBC host and former RNC chair stated he would go out of his way to make Trump "comfortable."

After stating he thought the millions of viewers who watched Harris on Fox News "...gave her a lot of street credit for sitting down in a hostile environment, politically, and handling it," Steele turned to her opponent for the presidency.
