ADMINISTRATION. >> GABE GUTIERREZ AT THE WHITE HOUSE FOR US. GABE, THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS. KRISTEN WELKER IS THE MODERATOR OF "MEET THE PRESS." KRISTEN, GOOD MORNING. GOOD TO SEE YOU AS ALWAYS. WE OFTEN SAY VOTERS DON'T REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN UNTIL AFTER LABOR DAY. WELL, HERE WE ARE. TOMORROW IS LABOR DAY. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START TO DIAL INTO THIS AFTER A SUMMER THAT INCLUDED AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, A CHANGE AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET FOR DEMOCRATS. SO WHAT IS THE STATE OF THE RACE AS WE MAKE THE TURN HERE TO ELECTION DAY? >> WELL, WILLIE, IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU. THE FINAL SPRINT IS ON, AS YOU SAY, STARTING WITH LABOR DAY AND, LOOK, IF YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS, WILLIE, IT SHOWS JUST HOW COMPETITIVE THIS RACE IS. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS NOW HAS A LEAD NATIONALLY WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR AND EVEN IN SOME KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES OR SHE'S TIED WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND ISSUES LIKE THAT CONTROVERSY AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY ARE AT THE FOREFRONT. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS SAT FOR HER FIRST INTERVIEW. THIS WEEK SHE WAS PRESSED ON THE RANGE OF POLICY PIVOTS SHE HAS MADE OVER THE YEARS. SHE DEFENDED HER SELF BY SAYING POLICIES MAY HAVE CHANGED, BUT HER VALUES HAVE NOT. FOR HIS PART, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING TO TAKE ON ONE OF HIS BIG WEAKNESSES, THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, ROLLING OUT A NEW POLICY SAYING HE WOULD MOVE TO HAVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAY FOR ALL IVF TREATMENTS. A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW PRACTICALLY THAT WOULD WORK, WILLIE. SO, AGAIN, THE FINAL SPRINT AND THE RACE COULD NOT BE MORE COMPETITIVE. >> IT IS. THE RACE IS ON. KRISTEN, THANKS SO MUCH. WE WILL LOOK FOR MORE ON "MEET THE PRESS" WHEN KRISTEN IS JOINED BY
