Dispatches From a Kamala Harris Field Office

from The New York Times I'm Michael. baboro this is the. daily as kamla Harris successfully. re-energizes the Democratic party her. campaign is now trying to figure out how. to translate that excitement into a. winning Coalition of Voters in. November today my colleagues travel to. the swing state of Wisconsin where a.

group of skeptical voters may represent. Harris's single biggest. challenge it's Thursday August. 8th Reed Epstein welcome back hi Michael. so Reed from the moment that Joe Biden. left this race and KLA Harris replaced. him as the presumptive Democrat nominee.

the promise was that she would do better. than Biden ever could against Donald. Trump but the specifics of that of how. she would do better felt a little bit. vague and that's what we want to talk to. you about today we've had a few weeks to. better understand that proposition so. what does a winning Harris Coalition in. November look like and how does it. compare with the support that Biden had. been getting so Michael I think the. place to start is is not two and a half.

weeks ago when Biden got out of the race. but four years ago when he defeated. Donald Trump and won the White. House in that race he won a bunch of. states that Trump had won in 2016 he won. Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. in the midwestern blue wall States and. he won in the sun belts in Georgia and. Arizona and he held on to. Nevada in that election Biden assembled.

a coalition with three Essential. Elements for any Democrat to win a. national election he drove up turnout in. big cities particularly among people of. color and young voters he did better. than Hillary Clinton had with college. educated voters in the. suburbs and he did something that has. been trickier in the Trump era he. limited his losses among white working. class and Rural voters Biden had an. image as Scranton Joe and somebody who. had been in every Union Hall in the.

country and was familiar to some of. these rural white voters as the type of. democrat that they used to vote for when. they were voting for. Democrats so now Place KLA Harris into. that same Dynamic so Michael what all. the polling and models tell us at this. point is that Harris has to replicate. much of that 2020 Biden coalition to.

win but she's not the same person right. she's not an older white guy from. Pennsylvania she is a black and South. Asian woman from San. Francisco and so the question for her in. the last couple weeks has been what. elements of the Biden Coalition can she. put back together or even exceed and who. from his voters would be turned off by. her as the candidate M and what we've.

seen in the last couple weeks from. Harris is that she has engendered an. enormous amount of enthusiasm and. excitement from precisely the part of. the Coalition that Biden was weakest. with young people and people of color. but one of the risks for her is that. among the white working class and Rural. voters were Biden held down the. Republican. margins that she may come across. differently and be less popular than he. was with some of these voters in white.

rural areas okay well given that what. would Harris need to do to replicate. Biden's performance with these white. workingclass and Rural communities in. the swing States we're talking about. well let's look at Wisconsin uh which I. know we talk about a lot um it's a state. with a lot of rural counties that fit. into this Dynamic that Harris will have. to figure out on this campaign and one. good example is dun County in the.

western part of the state it is a place. that twice voted for Obama and then. twice voted for Trump in 2020 Trump won. there by 14 percentage points which was. about 3,300 votes more than Biden. received and Harris needs to at the very. least match Biden's performance there or. maybe have the margin be a little bit. less you know if he loses to Trump by 12. points and not 14 that's a small amount. but if you repeat that pattern across.

the 65 rural counties in Wisconsin this. is a phenomenon that really matters it's. sort of a counterintuitive way to think. about how you win in that it's about. minimizing your losses you're you're. basically saying that how little Harris. loses in these white workingclass rural. districts really matters because it. really adds up that's right and that's. really the story of these Upper Midwest. states that needs to win the picture is.

pretty similar in Michigan and. Pennsylvania she has to do well in the. cities and the suburbs but she also has. to make enough inroads in these rural. communities like Biden did to prevent. Trump from running up margins so large. that it discounts whatever she takes. from the cities and that's sort of what. we're all trying to figure out right now. what does it look like for the Harris. campaign to try to win over these white. work class and Rural voters and Stitch.

back together the Coalition that elected. Joe Biden four years ago and how is her. campaign trying to reach those voters. and is what they're doing. working and there's really only one way. to begin to answer that which is to be. in one of these rural counties and watch. it up. close why don't I set up my K too. shortly after Biden dropped out of the. race my colleagues daily producers.

Jessica Chong and Stella tan traveled to. Dunn County in Wisconsin the largely. white working class community that Reed. had mentioned hi morning hi morning how. you doing good how are you and they. arrive just as the Harris campaign was. kicking off an intense door-to-door. Outreach out there you're Pete hi nice. to meet you how was your travel in very. pleasant we had uh cheese curds last. night everyone's been in them so it was.

the first thing we did basically very. good Jessica Chong Begins the. [Music]. story well welcome welcome glad you're. here thanks we arrived at the dun County. Democratic Party office just 6 days. after Biden dropped out this office it's. on the side of a state highway in the. small city of monomin Wisconsin it's. wedged between a property management. company and a lrat I would love to like. maybe start with a tour of the offices.

like I know it's not that big yeah you. might be looking at Pete Huff is the. county chair here helping Democrats get. elected up and down the ticket we have. everything from our County Clerk's race. through to Congress one of the first. things that catches my eye are all the. lawn signs leaning against the wall I. see one sign on the far end there that. might be a little outdated now yeah we. have the Biden Harris signs yeah this. place is a small office in the middle of. a huge. transition after switching president. candidates less than a week ago there.

hasn't even been time to print new comma. Harris swag what question do I get at. least three times a day it's like when. can I get my new Harris sign and then. I've seen people that are just making. their own signs that say Kamala like. arts and craft style um but while the. Harris swag hasn't shown up yet what had. started to show up volunteers Martha. here is our volunteer coordinator she's. obviously signing people up heard my. name I'm Aunt Martha everybody over 50. calls me so that can Betha you know it's.

easier to remember my name everybody's. got an Aunt Martha or knows one you know. Aunt Martha is in charge of coordinating. the volunteers here Monday Wednesday. Friday 2 to 6 and she shows me her. schedule that's laid out on this big. calendar sitting on our desk and it. looks pretty packed full of people. raising their hands to do phone Banking. and door knocking in the week that this. campaign office is transformed from one. for Joe Biden to one for KLA Harris it's. amazing have you seen a delus oh my gosh. oh my gosh the money is flowing in and.

the money and the people I can't keep. the store. closed what motivated you to volunteer. and not just be a voter is it comma oh. for sure for sure and did you do any. kind of canvasing for Joe Biden. absolutely not people are coming out of. the woodwork to volunteer to donate. money I woke up Monday so happy and I'm. thinking to myself why are you so happy. I'm like oh my God it's because of.

I think there's that spark that's there. now that new found energy there's just. an energy and a a fun to it that is. encouraging they come in they want. t-shirts they brought in her book. yesterday the kamla Harris book you know. we have a little Library there basically. it was like you have two old men you. don't like either one of them now we. don't have that it's been fun to see. some of her talking about cooking. turkeys and so you've seen the memes. about her this gal came in yesterday the. gal in the purple shirt she said I'm a. former Republican I want to give money.

to kamla I want to get involved I I. haven't seen anything like it you know. even watching her first commercial gave. me go it would be so exciting to have a. female president so exciting yeah I just. think she comes across as one of us with. kamla it's been. amazing hey how are you I was just. saying how proud of you I was as a. reformed Republican. [Music]. to the challenge for the Harris campaign.

of course is to figure out how to take. all that energy and turn it into votes. for Democrats in dun County that means. trying to convince people to support her. in a place that's become largely very. friendly to Donald Trump and that's just. a reality of we're in a conservative. stronghold and I asked Pete about that I. would say it's pretty working class I. mean we have 3M we have ConAgra we have. Anderson Windows you'll see signs on. people's doors that say please don't. ring the bell or knock I'm a shift. worker and I'm a night shift worker. Pete's pretty realistic about the.

challenges facing the campaign here we. don't expect that we're going to be the. place where Harris is going to win by an. overwhelming majority but our job here. is that we keep it as close as we. possibly can to make sure that we keep. it competitive that we haris will almost. certainly lose dun County the goal is. for her to Lose It by less than Biden. did which is about 3,300 votes and when. you boil that down it's about 50 votes. per Precinct we can do that if we have. the money we can absolutely turn 50.

votes per precinct for Comm no problem. Pete says that there are a couple of key. voting groups that the campaign things. can help them do that one is young. voters but there's another big one. female voters in particular those are. the ones that are going to switch and. really make the difference and that's. women so would you say that if there was. a white whale in this election the kind. of voter would be a female voter I think. that absolutely they're the most.

persuadable I think so and if Pete. Field's women are persuadable in part. because of how well women candidates. have been doing Statewide Wisconsin. senator Tammy Baldwin has done really. well in recent elections also in a big. Supreme Court race just last year voters. in dun County helped elect a liberal. judge judge Janet pwi Pete saw both of. those races up close we know that the. folks that were really backing her from. our doors and from our conversations. were Women Voters we can follow that.

template from last April in this. presidential election and get kamla. elected do you lose a white whale with. comma Now like you mentioned that. college students and women are going to. be crucial that KLA is helping buoy that. kind of demographic a voter but the ones. that Joe Biden carried among white. voters do you think that she might have. a harder time winning over those voters. than Joe Biden did yeah I wish I had the. magic Crystal Ball but like I don't know. any Democrats that were like Pro Joe and.

now they're like oh I'm thinking about. Trump because of Kamala it's like that's. just not a thing for us if anything it's. that we had folks that were like on the. Trump bandwagon that don't really want. to be on it but they didn't really feel. like they could get off of it and. there's something saying the strategy. even includes some Republicans who are. looking to break away from the party and. now might be willing to with Harris at. the top of the ticket but the final. piece of the puzzle Pete says is making. sure that Democrats.

turn out to vote he told me a story. about a door he knocked on at a house. not too far away they had all the yard. signs that would make you feel like it. was a good door to knock on we believe. in science and all are welcome and they. had all that. stuff I knocked on the door and it was. like a fairly young couple and they were. really friendly and I said what do you. think about Joe Biden this is before he. made the decision to drop out and and. they said like I guess like not really. interested I don't know maybe and it was.

like not the answer you want to get from. a household that's like got all the. right signs it's like you're not going. to. vote why like really and it's because. they just didn't feel that connection. and I guarantee like the folks that were. if I were to go back and say like hey. like how do you feel about kamla Harris. I have a feeling based on that. conversation that would probably be much. more. motivated there's something now that. feels like it's the future of our.

country that is KLA Harris and I think. there's a lot of folks that just feel. that freshness and they think this is. something that's actually going to. motivate more people rather than. disaffect. voters come on in if you haven't signed. in we would love it if you signed in so. with all that in mind hi everyone good. morning welcome I know most of your. faces some of you I don't know Pete. starts to gather the volunteers in a. Circle I think that we're all feeling.

pretty excited about our presidential. candidate. yeah so it's a mix of season pros and. newbies some of you are new folks and. you might feel a little nervous about it. um but don't feel nervous about it it's. just conversations with your neighbors. Pete tries to put them at ease and. reminds them of their ultimate Mission. like if we can shift just a handful of. votes in each voting ward in dun County. that's the difference between kamla. winning or not and so it really is that.

close for us so please just know that. this is actually going to make a. difference and trains them on political. pamphlet protocol so these go on doors. they do not go in mailboxes right bad. mailboxes are bad for this stuff we. sending them out into the field y'all. feeling good okay Kathleen's feeling. good all right okay okay cool so we're. going to do a little break here those. that are ready to just like go hit some. doors and you feel good about the script. all those things we're going to get you. numbers we're going to get you get you. out and eat donuts for please take.

donuts and with that the volunteers. adorned with brochures and rubber bands. in their hands and a list of addresses. for the first time we're door knocking. for comma Harris the first time they'd. see how voters in this place reacted to. their new candidate and they were. nervous oh this is the first time I've. been out since this happened so are you. optimistic no I'm scared this is not.

going to be an easy election by any. stretch of the imagination I mean she's. got an uphill battle so um yeah all. hands on De and then is there a way we. can come with you oh I mean potentially. I mean we leave this little campaign. office to go door knocking to with our. trusty guide Pete okay great well let's. let's go cool yeah sounds good um you. all know where it is um. yes after the break Stella tan brings us.

the rest of the. story we'll be right. back so after our visit to the dun. County Democratic office we head out to. go door knocking with Pete we're in this. neighborhood with Tree Line streets and. neat front Lawns yeah so this is north. side monomon it's a little bit more kind. of working class neighborhood I would.

say there's definitely some very. conservative homes here there's some. very Democratic houses uh here and so. yeah it's a mixed bag here and as we're. walking through the neighborhood you can. actually see that mix know would there. are lawn signs that say Trump 2024 not. far from signs that say vote for. democrats for us that's been a really. popular sign this year on one house. there's this black flag has AR weapons. on there and I would just and then down. the block passing by a rainbow flag a.

rainbow Pride flag it is pretty striking. to have a pride flag on one corner and a. few houses down to have a second. amendment flag welcome to my. nominee but it's not these households. that Pete is focused on today it's like. are we going to persuade them probably. not at this point it's only 99 days. before the election so Pete wants to get. to the houses whose political views. aren't quite so clear-cut so yeah we. really are trying to use the voter data. to focus on the households that are. going to be the most influential that.

are going to make because he hopes it's. these homes that will be the most open. to Harris so we'll go across this road. and then we'll cut down and Pete's goal. for today is figuring out how to win. them over all right let's see if. anybody's home. [Music]. so I'm gonna say probably not home yeah.

I don't hear anything no movement um. it's a warm Sunday. afternoon no signs of life it's right. after lunchtime and for many people in. this area it's right after church. service so we'll just leave this. literature packet and um come back and. talk to them another time and a lot of. people aren't answering their doors in. the fall like for the November election. I'll have the Packers schedule on my. office clipboard and we don't ever knock. doors during Packer games even the.

strongest of Democrats might sway their. vote if we bug them when the Packers are. playing and then finally after striking. out a few. times we find someone who is home hi hi. how you doing are you Emily I am yes I'm. Pete I'm with the dun Democrats her name. is Emily she says she's in her 40s and. she's an office worker in the area I'm. just curious about how you feeling about. Biden dropping out how you feeling about. Harris being the nominee potentially to.

run for president honestly at this point. I really don't know yeah I voted since I. was 18 since I've been able to vote this. is honestly the first election where I. just don't know who I'm going to vote. for I need to I need to vote I don't. want to it makes me sick yeah so do you. typically vote one way or the other. Republic Republican but I'm not been. happy with them right now either so yeah. I really don't know right. now this is exactly the kind of voter. that Pete has been looking for a.

republican who hasn't made up her mind. and immediately he pounces is it an. issue that really you're focused on more. than anything he starts bringing up all. these different issues to see if. anything sticks starting with abortion. one thing that she's taken stands on is. is reproductive choice is that important. for you is it you're on one side of the. other I'd rather not really discuss that. yeah sure totally yeah I understand. Emily kind of shuts that door are there. other issues that might be more. motivating I he pivot some folks it's.

the economy some folks to the economy. positions on public education schools. Harris has a pretty long track record on. Prosecuting and taking on big banks that. were foreclosing on people's mortgages. he tries Wall Street focused on crime. and as a prosecutor he mentions crime. does that feel like a motivator for you. in her resume um not particularly I. definitely would have to read more about. it yeah. absolutely but none of it really seems. to land and Emily keeps coming back to. one thing it's just the extremism on.

both sides on both sides yep tired of it. yeah too many people hijacking what. either party especially what the. Republican party is and has been in the. past yeah I just my biggest thing. honestly right now either way is I want. to see people who are going to be. willing to work with each other and back. to let's take care of the middle class. and let's stop fighting Let's uh start. actually working towards something yeah. and do you see kind of KLA Harris as. part of that or does she bring something. that maybe is a little more exciting for.

you um honestly don't know enough right. now about her and where she actually. stands outside of Biden so yeah so by. the end of Pete's pitch thank you for. your time really appreciate that you. have a the results of his efforts seem. inconclusive do you mind if I just ask. you a couple of questions and so I hang. back with Emily to try to understand. more about what had turned her away from. the Republican party and whether there. was anything about Harris that could win.

or over honestly I a couple years ago if. you would have asked me where I stand on. certain issues I could have told you. flat out without any hesitation part of. my views on certain issues like. Reproductive Rights and other things. like that has changed because I'm a mom. I have kids I have kids in the school. system I see what they're dealing with. every day some of my court values though. are still aligned with the Republicans. but as far as the candidates they're. putting forth I'm really not happy with. those candidates so I you know I really.

don't know where I am right now what are. the things you see your kids dealing. with that have sort of made you question. your traditional thinking um other kids. in the area the lgtbq stuff is very big. in the schools there's a lot of that. going on and a lot of friends and a lot. of relationships. and hearing what they have to say so. you're sort of wanting slightly more. openness to those conversations yep I. think just more toward the moderate more. toward you know I'd like to see the. Republicans which some of them are.

coming back and taking more of a. moderate stance on some of these things. that they've been firmly you know. Reproductive Rights those types of. things coming to more of a moderate. which is like what I would like to see. but I don't feel good about Donald Trump. in the white house again and why not his. rhetoric is definitely had a huge part. in the division in this country that's. for sure some of his policies I don't. necessarily disagree with but the way he. conducts himself and the way he presents. himself is just not not something I. want as the head of the United States so.

Emily is pretty firmly set on not voting. for Donald Trump but back when Biden was. on the ticket she didn't think he was a. viable candidate either I don't think. he's physically or mentally fit to be. leading this country so when it was that. matchup I actually it was a lot of. Despair discouragement she felt stuck. and then Harris emerged if I had to vote. today I probably would end up voting. Democrat but I'm not going to tell you I.

feel good about that either because I I. don't otherwise you know I have. seriously thought about just writing in. a candidate at this point too the thing. is Emily isn't sure that Harris will. offer anything different I I really. don't know enough about her as a. candidate for president to say one way. or the other it'll be interesting to see. how she performs in debates and things. coming up to see if she can keep her. composure thank you so much I appreciate. you taking the time to talk to me I'm. grateful thank you take care you have a.

good day when I catch up again with Pete. and Jess we ask Pete how he feels the. conversation went a persuadable. republican yeah and whether he thinks he. seized the opportunity to win over a. republican voter you know that's an. interesting household where we tried a. few different lines of conversation Pete. knows he's sort of throwing spaghetti at. the wall really the pamphlets that we. have is mostly focused on the Biden. Harris Administration he says one of the.

challenges of pivoting from Biden to. Harris is that forget about new lawn. signs and swag he doesn't even have new. campaign materials on hand and with a. new candidate and a short amount of time. it can be tricky to figure out which. talking points work for different voters. you know and we don't quite know if. talking about the Biden Administration. is is that something that might have. turned her off um it's not always clear. to him when to Harris to Biden and when.

to distinguish her from him I think to. replay that conversation Replay that. door a little bit more would maybe to. kind of try to pull apart how she felt. about Biden versus how she felt about. Harris more specifically to right now. Pete's still trying to understand what. matters to voters like Emily and he's. taking notes about it on his phone so he. can come back to her again with the. right message but even with all these. challenges he says he considers the. conversation a success because wasn't a. a republican that said no and slammed.

the door it was a republican that stood. there and let her air conditioning flow. out into this hot day so that's an. invitation for another conversation and. if we can bring her closer to us that's. great so we keep making our way through. the neighborhood there's this golden. retriever standing Sentinel at one of. the houses in the window yeah a lot of.

cute dogs a lot of cute. cats so we'll try this house here on the. right. okay oh hi hi how you doing I'm Pete. with the dun County Democrats hi you. have a minute to chat uh sure yeah and. we meet a woman named Kate she says. she's 38 I'm 38 yeah had to think about. that for a sec and and she works in. mortgages just chatting with folks about.

the upcoming election Harris is running. for president or is just kind of curious. like what are you thinking about that it. is what it is I guess you typically vote. Democrat yeah yeah Harris how do you. feel you think she's I don't know I'm. glad it's not Biden he's too old and on. paper Kate would seem to be the kind of. voter the kind of democratic voter that. Pete hoped might now be motivated by. Harris you know with Harris you kind of. feel like you just got to get to know. her more is it something about her that.

don't like her issues or I don't think I. know enough about her and she's been. vice president and to me that just seems. like a placeholder position like you. don't do a whole lot as vice president. but I don't want her like winning just. because she's a woman of color a woman. not just because you check those boxes. that doesn't seem like a fair win either. so were you going to vote for Joe no. matter what. or better of the two crap options. honestly I think even my husband was.

leaning towards like whoever was. independent so it seems like KLA might. be a better option but maybe just has to. do a little bit more work to kind of get. you fully excited about her candidacy. and if she was the one that knocked on. your door today did you give her any. advice no not really I'd be like why are. you here yeah yeah yeah but probably. like try and meet in the middle as much. as you can like make it look like a good. faith effort cuz right now it just seems. like you're playing up this side they're. the enemy and like the other SES would. play up this side and they're the enemy.

and I'm like there isn't any compromise. I would. say at the end of their conversation. well I really appreciate um you taking. time of your day to talk I did leave. some literature on your front door Pete. leaves Kate with some of the outdated. Biden Harris pamphlets he has appreciate. your time here with us and he walks away. for a couple more minutes I wanted to. stay behind and talk more with Kate to. try to understand why a democ voter. sounded so resigned about the choices.

before her in this election even with a. new candidate at the top of the ticket. and why all of the hope and excitement. we heard from democratic volunteers why. she seemed to feel none of that at all. do you know who you plan to vote for for. president I mean if I had to pick today. it would probably be Kamala even though. I'm. just there just doesn't seem to be. anything that gets done period it's just.

more belief in the like Democratic party. Viewpoint more like helping out in the. community and like your neighbors like. it doesn't matter if they have 14. million Biden stickers all over their. house or like 800 Trump Flags it's like. you still deserve to get assistance and. help available when you need it so as. Kate's telling me this her daughter. walks up to us on the front lawn and. Peaks out from behind her leg are there. any issues that are concerning for you. that you wish Kamala would speak more.

about I honestly don't know what she's. speaking about but I definitely know. there's been a lot about Reproductive. Rights and being a mom of two. daughters they need their. rights you're kind of running your hands. through your daughter's. hair how old is she she turns six in a. week and a. half and what's your name. Emma Emma Emma it's a beautiful.

name are you hearing kala speak about. these. issues not really but I don't watch the. news a great deal it's just seems like a. lot of. arguing and like pointing out what the. other person does bad like no tell me. what you're going to do to help me and. my family and my children. I don't care what somebody else is.

screwing up how are you going to make it. better just don't tell me how Trump is a. schmuck long story short like we already. know that your whole base knows that. just talk about ways you're going to. bring people together like how would you. work with them you got to figure out a. way to play nice we tell that to. children and you guys are grown-ups so. up what I heard from Kate was that she. feels like both parties are so busy.

fighting each other that they're not. actually doing much to help her family. and her community and that she's so. repulsed by the political system that. she's basically tuning out the messages. that Democrats are trying to send and at. this point there was nothing about kamla. Harris yet that made her feel. differently and it sounds like you're. still waiting for kamla Harris to show. you who she is show me why she deserves.

[Music]. so thank you see take care bye. [Music]. bye Kate in many ways reminded me of. Emily even though Emily lean's. Republican and Kate's a Democrat they. both talked about feeling frustrated. with politics.

today and even with this massive shakeup. in the race they don't feel like they. know enough about Harris yet to know if. she's the. solution and that's something we heard. from a lot of people we met while door. knocking like what has she actually been. doing I don't know much about her I'll. be completely honest I don't know her. yet so yeah just got to do some research. on my own I don't know that we've really. talked about kinda specifically I mean I. really just don't feel like she's a. known entity at this point that to them.

Harris is kind of a blank. canvas and for voters like Emily that. blank canvas could be an opportunity for. Pete to project an image and a message. that could bring Emily in but for voters. like Kate that blankness could also be a. vulnerability a reason for a skeptical. voter or a disaffected voter even a. democratic one to turn away or stay.

[Music]. home at the end of today what do you see. to be the biggest challenges for KLA. Harris to win over voters in this. area what I heard today is that people. need to know her track record and they. need to know what her vision is for the. United States and to speak to those. issues specifically and I think that. there's a lot that people need to learn. about her and so we have 99 days to work. really hard to educate voters on who.

this person is and why she's good for. Western. [Music]. Wisconsin safe travels and thank you for. the work that you do no thank you okay. bye. Wednesday afternoon vice president. Harris and her new running mate.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walls traveled. together to oair Wisconsin for a rally. right next to Dun County hello. oair isn't it good to have a candidate. who can pronounce the name correctly so. there walls showcased a life story that. the Harris campaign hopes will appeal. directly to white workingclass voters. across Wisconsin and the entire Midwest.

being a Midwestern or two I know a. little something about commitment to. people I was born in a small town in. Nebraska where Community meant. everything my mom and dad taught me to. show generosity to my neighbors and work. for a common good at 17 I joined the. Army National Guard. [Music].

we'll be right. back here's what else you need to know. today on Wednesday thousands of police. officers fanned out across Britain in an. attempt to prevent protests planned by. farri groups from descending into. further violence for the past week more.

than a dozen British towns and cities. have been rocked by anti-immigrant riots. fueled by far-right. agitators the violence began shortly. after a knife attack that killed three. children at a dance class when. misinformation about the immigration. status of the suspect spread on social. media today's episode was reported by.
