Summary

As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump close out their campaigns, Jen Psaki outlines their starkly different closing messages and why voters shouldn't be freaking out over the extremely tight race. Harris Campaign Chair Jen O'Malley Dillon joins the show to discuss the state of the race, including the encouraging early voting numbers that have the Harris team feeling confident and why the campaign believes that John Kelly's 'fascist' label is an effective message with voters. Next, The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper joins Jen to reflect on his recent conversations with fervent Trump supporters for his new special - explaining how many MAGA voters have made Trump a part of their identity. Later, Jen shares footage from her travels to Michigan where she recently joined Emily's List staffers to door knock and talk with swing-state voters. Finally, Jen is joined by Former Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina to ask him three big questions about the state of the presidential race - nine days out from election day.
