DANIELLE PLETKA: I think for Kamala Harris, and obviously by inference also for Tim Walz this is going to be a really big challenge, because: where has she been for the last three and a half years? This is her border crisis. She is the Vice President of the United States. The number of non-detained immigrants in the country is twice the number. We’re talking about 7.4 million people in this country right now, and we can- you know, we can throw calumnies around who they are and what they are, but the statistics that were shared with Congress just last week about the number of criminals, murderers. They're not all criminals, they're not all murderers and they didn’t all come in under Biden and Harris, but twice the number is unacceptable and that's why people are upset.
KRISTEN WELKER: And DHS has said some of those stats actually go back as far as 40 years, but Kelly, Danny really makes the point about why the stakes are so high on Tuesday night, including for Tim Walz who quite frankly, hasn't been in that many unscripted events. What- what are you hearing about how they’re prepping and how they’re feeling?
KELLY O’DONNELL: The expectation-setting is starting, for sure. Tuesday night will be a big, big moment.
