So much to get to tonight. Lots and lots and lots of news. And as I was watching today,

I was thinking about the fact that if there was any question, any question at all, from anywhere

from anyone about whether or not American democracy is under threat right now, the president

of the United States was asked just hours ago about his calls for an unconstitutional federal

takeover of elections. He was also asked about whether or not he will accept the will of the

voters in November. And see for yourself what he said.

We can't allow cheating in elections. Now, if we need to put in federal controls as opposed to state

controls, remember this, they're really an agent. They're really accumulating the votes for who

wins an election. If they can't do it honestly and it can't be done properly and timely,

then something else has to happen. Will you trust the results of the midterms

if Republicans lose control of Congress? I will, if the elections are honest.

Trump is laying the groundwork. We all know this. We've all watched what he has been doing,

and he has really upped his game in the last few days. He's laying the groundwork to undermine the validity

of the midterm elections. Make absolutely no mistake about it. I mean, it's the same language he

used in the lead up to the 2020 election, the same language he used to so doubt in the outcome

if he did not win. And when he says, when you just heard him say, if the elections are honest, he means if his party wins.

That's what he means.

And there's a simple and very obvious reason he's doing this.

And it's because he's increasingly unpopular.

He does not think he and his party can win on their own.

And there's reason he thinks that, because a new Kuinipiac poll out today finds Trump's approval rating is now just 37%.

And that's three points down from where he was in that same poll just three weeks ago.
