| 0:00.0 | Presented by BP. |
| 0:05.5 | Hey, good morning. I'm Playbook Deputy Editor Zach Stanton. It is Friday, October 4th, |
| 0:10.8 | and here's what's driving the day. |
| 0:13.0 | Perhaps the single most popular man in Democratic politics is finally getting out on the road |
| 0:17.3 | to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris. Former President Barack Obama is expected to hit the campaign trail in battleground states |

| 0:26.9 | A senior Harris campaign official said Obama will do a bunch of events in the final 27 days |

| 1:18.0 | including Major League Baseball Playoff Games and high-ranked telenovelas. The investment comes |
| 1:23.4 | at a critical time for Democrats as the party's edge among Latino voters has shrunk to |
| 1:27.8 | generational lows as seen in recent polls. And speaking of polls, don't miss this week's |
| 1:33.5 | episode of Playbook Deep Dive. Our own Eugene Daniels sat down with two pollsters, Democrat John |
