14 days to midterms: Tur interviews Talarico, Vivek’s ad gets BACKLASH | MS NOW Highlights

With just two weeks to go until the midterm election, Texas Democratic Senate Candidate James Talarico spoke with Katy Tur in Fort Worth to share his final pitch to voters, what he would say to his Republican opponent Ken Paxton, and his goals for the Senate if he is elected. Jen Psaki shows how Republican candidates like Ken Paxton and Mike Rogers have resorted to dirty tricks for lack of substance to run on, with the stand out example being Vivek Ramaswamy, who released an ad featuring the estranged mother of his opponent Dr. Amy Acton. “That ad is truly one of the most despicable things I have seen in politics,” says Chris Hayes of the Vivek Ramaswamy-backed attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother, who Acton hasn’t spoken to since 1978 after a childhood marked by sexual abuse. According to new reporting from ProPublica, Trump appointees at the Department of Homeland Security wanted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to hack a voting machine and “report back the findings so they could be given to the White House,” shocking agency staffers. Nicolle Wallace is joined by Andy Mannix, bylined on this story, and Marc Elias for discussion on Deadline: White House. Co-host of MS NOW’s “The Weekend” Eugene Daniels, MS NOW Political Director Shawna Thomas and Investigative Reporter for the Austin American-Statesman Tony Plohetski join Katy Tur live from Austin, Texas to share their outlook for the Lone Star State in November.
