Welcome to the beat everyone. I'm Ari Melbert. Tonight,

Michigan Governor Gretchen Wittner joins us. That's coming up.

The reviews for Kamla Harris doing what Trump does not and entering the

Lions Den, in her case for the intense Fox News interview. Well we have that tonight Brett Bear has been

dubbed by some outlets as frustrated, flustered, and heavy on an eruption so that's

coming up we have an Obama campaign veteran on that. Some outlets are saying that Bear has even been reduced to damage control

from Twitter to the follow-up appearances on his own network. We can also tell you the numbers are in. Many millions of people did watch that interview.

That's what the Harris campaign wanted. They wanted the Fox audience, which rarely hears

are in that format, and more people to see her standing up to whatever Fox had to bring and well they got that.

So we're going to get to what was a media but also very big home stretch political campaign

event yesterday.

But the top story is about something I've told you is going down.

Election month.

People used to call it election day,

but we are in a drastically different turnout model now. There's a slogan that says

November 5th is not the start of the election it is the end. That's a nod to early

voting and there are memes. The tout early voting is really the fun cool thing to do. It is the best way to get that feeling when you've early voted. kind of internet jokes but we can share that a city in Texas used that as a kind of

nonpartisan plug to remind people early voting is a way to get your vote out and

for a lot of people on a more efficient way to get it out and for a lot of people in a more efficient way to get it done and wrapped up before election day.

Voters also spreading the word to each other online.

There are 19 days of early voting left.

And we're now getting the first reports of how it's going.
