THE ELECTION A LITTLE MORE
THAN EIGHT WEEKS AWAY, CAN YOU
BELIEVE IT?
WITH PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
TRAILING IN POLLS, DEMOCRATS ARE
INSISTING THEY ARE NOT OVER
CONFIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT'S WIN IN 2016,
EVEN AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE LATE IN
OCTOBER, SHOWS HOW RESILIENT HE
CAN BE.
HERE IS ESME MURPHY WITH
TONIGHT'S TALKING POINTS.
Reporter: FOR DEMOCRATS THE
QUESTION IS: WILL VOTERS TURN
OUT FOR JOE BIDEN?
OR WILL A CRITICAL NUMBER OF
THEM SIT OUT THE WAY THEY DID
FOUR YEARS AGO?
YES, HILLARY CLINTON SQUEAKED
OUT A WIN IN MINNESOTA IN 2016
BUT BARELY.
SHE BEAT DONALD TRUMP BY 45,000
VOTES.
CLINTON GOT 180,000 FEWER VOTES
HERE THAN BARACK OBAMA GOT FOUR
YEARS EARLIER.
IT WAS THAT WAY IN STATES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
NATIONALLY BLACK VOTING DROPPED
BY 7 PERCENTAGE POINTS IN 2016
OVER 2012.
THE QUESTION IS: CAN JOE BIDEN
BRING PROGRESSIVE AND BLACK
VOTERS HERE AND AROUND THE
COUNTRY TO THE POLLS TO SUPPORT
HIM?
MINNESOTA CONGRESSWOMAN, ILHAN
OMAR SUPPORTED BERNIE SANDERS IN
