Steve asks Bill and Joe if Trump’s surge help’s Hovde’s U.S. Senate campaign and asks them to advocate for their presidential candidate of choice and why.

More on the election, candidates and turnout.

-Bill is keeping Bill Whittaker as an interviewer when he interviewed Kamala Harris showing she’s not a fit candidate. Bill is junking the editors and producers at 60 minutes for how they edit their interview with Kamala Harris

-Joe is keeping the service men and women he went on a bus tour with over the past week. He is junking Joe junking Donald Trump talking down America; if it were Obama, Fox News would have exploded.
