Politics and views in the United States.

Former President Trump again stops short of ensuring a peaceful transfer of power. A Georgia judge rules election administrators must certify vote results, and Vice President Harris looks to strengthen support from Black male voters.

TRANSCRIPT

Welcome to 2024 Talks, where we're following our democracy in historic times.

I left the morning that I was supposed to leave.

I went to Florida, and you had a very peaceful transfer.

At a Chicago economic forum, former President Donald Trump again refused to clearly rule out violence if he loses next month.

Trump continued to downplay the January 6th Capitol attacks, days after separately threatening to use the military against what he called the "enemy within" during a Fox interview.

Repeating a call by Vice President Kamala Harris and citing what they call signs of mental and physical decline, more than 200 doctors are calling on Trump to release his medical records.

Former President Trump said he would, but so far hasn't.

Former Trump aide Sarah Matthews says at 78, he's lost his fastball.

It does appear that he is meandering and rambling more often, and he's having obvious moments of confusion.

Next month, Florida voters will decide if a right to abortion up to viability will be protected by the state constitution.

Democrats hope the ballot measure will boost turnout.

That includes the former congresswoman narrowly trailing Senator Rick Scott.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell says the Republican would push for a national abortion ban.

I don't want my daughters to be living in a state with less rights than I did.

Florida is one of 10 states where abortion rights will be on the ballot.

A Georgia judge has ruled that county election officials can't delay certifying election results past a week.

The decision came the same day early voting began there.

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff says Georgians shouldn't wait until election day to vote.

Your car might die.

You might have a family emergency.

The weather might be bad.

Please get out there and vote.

Harris' campaign continues to focus on a key Democratic bloc, black men, including offering a million fully forgivable $20,000 loans for black entrepreneurs.

In an interview with the Shade Room, Harris says she doesn't take their votes for granted.

Black men are no different from anybody else.

They expect that you have to earn their vote.

Groups representing workers, retirees and small business owners say they'll be left to pick up the slack when the wealthy and big corporations don't pay their fair share in taxes.

Linda Soma with the Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans says it would only get worse if the Trump tax cut gets extended next year.

It really ticks me off when I think, okay, I pay 15 percent and someone who is a billionaire probably is paying a far less percent because they can take advantage of all kinds of loopholes.

Republicans argue extending the tax cut would lead to economic growth.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, households making less than $100,000 a year saw no benefit from it, while top executives did well.

An element that were agreement between voting rights groups in New Mexico could help make it easier for folks with a criminal record to register for next month's election.

Blair Bowie with the Campaign Legal Center says that right had been hard for them to exercise.

The officials who are responsible for implementing that law have really dragged their feet.
