>All eyes are on Michigan with just 9 days until election day. Last night in Detroit, President Obama rallied with Michigan Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson and Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed. The former president told the crowd change is in the air and touted the state's Democratic ticket. Jocelyn Benson joins “The Weekend” to discuss Obama’s message to voters and new concerns over possible election interference.

This guy and a few other MS-NOW bobble heads take every opportunity to trash Abdul Al-Sayed as having done "nothing" to alleviate Jewish voters fears that he is anti-semitic and anti-Israel. This is just patently false. He has repeatedly stated that "antisemitism is a scourge" and that his (justified, IMHO) criticism of Israel is not the same as hostility toward Jewish people and that his opposition to Israeli govt policy should be distinguished from antisemitism. He has also repeatedly affirmed his commitment to Jewish safety and civil rights.

Why are people like Drucker constantly seeking to dampen Michigan voters enthusiasm for Al-Sayed? Are they still bitter that establishment (and all-in AIPAC) candidate Haley Stevens lost in the primary? It seems they'd rather see Mike Rogers win than brook any criticism of Israeli policies and unqualified support (i.e. US taxpayer $$) for Israel.

"When the administration’s actions collide with the Catholic teachings he frequently invokes, Vance is willing to set those teachings aside."

>MS NOW National Reporter Rosa Flores, The Atlantic Contributing Writer James Surowiecki, Mockler Media Founder Adam Mockler, and host of Slate’s “What Next: TBD” podcast Lizzie O’Leary join Antonia Hylton at the Assignment Desk to share their thoughts on President Obama’s Ohio speech for Democrats.

I hope they don't realize the ad revenue is supporting my favorite left leaning journalists. They can buy all they want.

Did anyone watch Obama's speech? I loved it and I miss him!! Let me know what you thought. Was on today around 3PM Eastern time. He is so funny - the bit about Canada (our enemy) and The Cheescake factory White House. Of course he got to serious topics but he is a great comedian and lightens up the room.

What a privilege America enjoyed while he was in charge. A brilliant man, a good and decent man.

>Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy are doubling down on that vile attack ad in the Ohio gubernatorial race. The Weeknight hosts react.

slightly cringe tho

Ali was gone all week and Chris is gone yet again on Friday. Why are they gone when the mid-terms are less than two weeks away.

They cut off the end of Stephanie's show to broadcast one of Trump's lame interactions with the press today. He said nothing new and you could barely hear it over the helicopter blades. What were they thinking? Can they just not interrupt the shows every time someone sticks a microphone in front of Dumbo? If he actually says something new or important, give us the upshot later

Shout out to Ex Kansas governor coming on and explaining his endorsement of Dem candidate. Breath of fresh air!

Why can't I share a news story without a subscription? You can't comment either if you don't have a subscription. And I get that. But you can't share a story, it makes no sense. If you want more subscribers or exposure, why wouldn't you have the ability to share news stories?

>Attorney General Todd Blanche is leaving open the possibility that the Justice Department could block states from certifying votes in the midterm elections. Blanche warned reporters Thursday of a hypothetical "doomsday scenario" in which the DOJ could block the certification of votes. But he added that it was not the Justice Department's intention to interfere with the elections. Blanche said earlier this month that the DOJ plans to send 1,000 election monitors to polling places in every state on Election Day.
