Tonight with the race for the White House, 46 days
to go to the election and the fierce fight tonight
in the key battlegrounds.
Vice President Kamala Harris in Atlanta, her emotional comments today
about the death of a mother who she says could
not get care in time after reports of medical help
was delayed because of that state's strict abortion ban.
The major headline also from Georgia tonight, that state's election
board ordering the hand counting of all ballots, likely delaying
results on election night in what could already be a
very close election.
And former President Trump soon heading to the must win
state of North Carolina as scandal now swirls around the
Republican candidate for governor in that state, Mark Robinson, who
Trump has praised as better than Martin Luther King junior
Mary Bruce.
Leading us off with late developments in the race for
president tonight, Vice President Kamala Harris in battleground Georgia, a
state that is putting a new spotlight on one of
her campaigns key issues, abortion.
This is a healthcare crisis and Donald Trump is the
architect of this crisis.
Former President Donald Trump has boasted of appointing 3 of
the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe versus Wade.
Georgia then implemented a law banning abortion at six weeks
before most women even know they're pregnant.
Harris today shining a light on the death of 28
year old mother Amber Thurman, pointing to a pro publica
report saying she is the first woman known to lose
her life as a result of George's abortion ban.
We will speak her name.
Amber Nicole Thurman Amber Nicole Thurman.
Amber Nicole Thurman After a medication abortion out of state
was incomplete, Thurman suffered a grave infection.
Her doctors waited 20 hours to operate.
By then it was too late and she died overnight.
Harris meeting with Thurman's mother at an event hosted by
Oprah Winfrey.
I want y'all to know Amber was not a statistic.
She was loved by a family, a strong family, and
we would have done whatever to get my baby, our
baby, the help that she needed.
I'm just so sorry.
Today, Harris blasting Trump and his running mate, Senator JD
Vance, as hypocrites.
The other folks, Trump and his running mate.
And they'll talk about.
Oh, yeah.
But I, you know, I I do believe in the
exception to save the mother's life.
OK.
All right, let's break that down, shall we?
Let's break that down.
We're saying that we're going to create public policy that
says that a doctor, a healthcare provider, will only kick
in to give the care that somebody needs if they're
about to die.
Think about what we are saying right now.
Harris arguing Thurman's death may be the first we are
hearing of, but it won't be the last.
We knew this could happen.
There is a word preventable and there is another word
predictable.
So let's bring in Mary Bruce with us again tonight.
Mary, the vice President, of course, in Georgia, as you
reported there today, now headed to Wisconsin.
I know there was another major headline out of Georgia
as well today, this key ruling from the state election
board.
David.
The Georgia State Election board today in a move spearheaded
by Trump supporters, approved a ruling requiring that all ballots
cast on Election Day be counted by hand in addition
to the customary machine count.
Now, this decision is expected to be challenged in court.
But if this holds, it could lead to a chaotic
count and would certainly delay results in the critical state
well beyond election night in a very close presidential race
already.
Mary Bruce leading us off here.
Mary, thank you.
