Hello and welcome to How to Win 2024. It's Thursday morning, October 17th. I'm Claire McCaskill and I'm really pleased to be here with my guest co-pilot once again today, Elise Jordan.

She's an MS NBC political analyst, contributor to Time magazine, a

former aide to the George W Bush White House and State Department.

Hey Elise, welcome back. Thanks so much for having me, Claire. Okay, it's close.

We are now, if you are running for a major office in this country,

these are the days when you lose count of what's going on.

You lose track of what time going on. You lose track of what time it is, you lose track of what

city you're in, you lose track of how much sleep you've had. It is really a

grueling, grueling. the last three weeks of a campaign are really really hard and we're right in the middle of that.

She's continuing her media blitz and Trump continues with well with his stuff.

Dancing?

Yeah, I don't even think it's fair to dancing to call it that.

We'll look where the campaigns are focusing three weeks out and

how much voters are embracing early voting. And in a bit, Senator Bryan,

shots of Hawaii will stop by to share some details on Vice President Harris's plan of increased

access to housing and we're going to talk a little inside baseball and get some

scoop on what he thinks about the Senate races. And before we wrap up today, Elise and I want to spotlight an issue that is really important

in these last few weeks.

It's a matter of trust.

When Trump tells you what he's planning in a second term should you believe him and can you

believe your eyes and years when it comes to election deep fakes generated by AI?

But first if we were in the room. Let's not do any more questions.
