President Donald Trump wrapped up the two-day Republican midterm convention in Dallas on Thursday night, rallying Americans to get out and vote in the November elections. He also used part of the address to make the audience in the arena take a voting pledge. “Please raise your right hand,” he said from the stage. “...I don’t care if I am registered or not, I am going to cheat like hell like they do…and we are going to vote on Nov. 3!”
Independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn of Nebraska joins Morning Joe to discuss his race against incumbent Republican Senator Pete Ricketts. Osborn talks about being a lifelong independent and also unveils his latest campaign ad on the show and argues his grassroots campaign is a stark contrast to Ricketts, a billionaire who he says is not looking out for the needs of voters in Nebraska.
The department sent letters to at least 30 states demanding they retain election records, an outgrowth of President Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud.
