Share Slides in Teams meetings with PowerPoint Live

PowerPoint Live offers benefits over simple screen-sharing.

This article applies to: Microsoft Teams

PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams offers several benefits over screen-sharing your PowerPoint presentation window or editing window. 

• Seamlessly switch between presenters.  Unlike screen-sharing, where the presentation is shared from a single presenter, co-presenters can take control of the slide deck during their portion of the presentation. 
• The built-in presenter view provides all the tools you need for a successful meeting.  You can see the audience, control slides, and view notes all in one location. 
• Enhanced accessibility.  Audience members can use screen readers, live translation, and high contrast slides. 
• Special audience focus tools.  Use the laser pointer, pen, and highlighter to draw attention to key points. 
• Option for attendees to go back or ahead.  If enabled, audience members can move between slides to review something they missed while the presentation continues. 
• Smoother transitions to video or audio.  Play high-quality embedded video and audio without having to change to a browser, media player, or other outside app or window. 
• Instant attendee access to links.  Audience members can open links and videos in the presentation on their own devices. No more waiting for you to circulate the presentation after the meeting.

Hello Office Insiders, I’m Lishan Yu, a program manager on the PowerPoint team. You might have heard that we announced the PowerPoint Live in Teams feature at Microsoft Ignite last month. Today, I’m excited to show you how to check out this new experience, and start presenting in Teams meetings from PowerPoint.

Presenting in Teams meetings

Presenting in a meeting used to be as simple as clicking Slide Show in your PowerPoint deck. Nowadays, even though you may not be in the same room as your audience, we believe your flow to present should be as easy and intuitive – clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint is the only step you need to take to present the deck in your Teams meeting!

How it works

Give the feature a try next time you need to present in a Teams meetings:

• Join a Teams meeting or an ad-hoc Teams call.
• Open your presentation in PowerPoint for Windows.
• Click the Present in Teams button in the top right corner.

Scenarios to try

Ready to take the PowerPoint Live feature for a spin? Try some of the scenarios below.

As a presenter :

• After clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint, notice that you can see both the chat and your content at the same time in Teams (and don’t feel like you’re missing out on the discussion).
• Take advantage of features like grid review and slide notes to present more effectively.

As an audience member :

• If you joined late, move back through the deck and quickly catch up without having to ask the presenter to stop and recap what was already shared.
• Interact with and experience the richness of the content being presented such as better video quality, live web links, and more.
• Make any adjustments you need to more fully enjoy the presentation (i.e., use high-contrast mode).

Requirements

In order to try out the feature, you will need to:

• Have the latest Teams desktop app installed.
• Store the presentation on OneDrive for Business or SharePoint.
• Join a Teams meeting before clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint for Windows.
• Be using an Office 365 E3/A3, Office 365 E5/A5, or Microsoft 365 for Government license. 

Availability

This feature is rolling out over the next several days to Insiders running Beta Channel Version 2104 (Build 13926.20000) and later.

We’d love your feedback, so please let us know how you think. To get in touch, do either of the following:

• Inside the app, select the Help button in the top-right corner of the app.
• Respond to this post or tweet at @OfficeInsider .

Learn what  other information you should include in your feedback  to ensure it’s actionable and reaches the right people. We’re excited to hear from you!

How to Use the Microsoft Teams 'Live Events' Feature

Posted by Jon Hood  /  June 16, 2020  /  Microsoft 365 , Microsoft Teams , Training   —   1 Comments ↓

What is a Microsoft Teams Live Event?

A Teams live event is the perfect way to connect with people in a one-to-many format in your modern workplace. A typical Teams meeting allows two-way communication between two or more people. However, a Teams live event offers a solution for a much larger audience! 

Structuring and delivering large broadcast-style events to reach employees, customers, and business partners, Microsoft Teams live events allow you to schedule and produce events to an audience of up to 10,000 attendees! This number may increase,  you can monitor limits and specifications on the Microsoft Site . With Live Events, you can coordinate seamless and engaging online events like town hall-style presentations from anywhere in the world at any time, regardless of where your presenters/audience are located. You can stream live video and digital content via screen share to audiences both internally and publicly to get your message across to the masses.  

Features of Teams live events include: Live Q&A, post-event recording downloads, attendee engagement reporting, live captions, and translation (choose up to 6 languages), as well as transcripts of the event. These are designed to enhance both the presenter and the attendee experience. I encourage you to explore Teams live events, as many organizations are maximizing their digital presence this way.  

Attendees can participate just as easily as attending a Teams meeting and remember, moderated Q&A and live captions are available to enhance the attendee experience. Keep in mind that the most successful Teams live events are well-coordinated, as there is much more production involved. There is also a broadcast delay of approximately 20-30 seconds for the attendees, although this may vary. This is so the video is prepared live in the background for DVR-like functionality for the viewer. 

Teams Meetings vs Live Events: What’s the difference? 

There’s a time and a place for each of these choices, depending on your presentation needs. 

• Why use a Teams meeting? They are designed for real-time collaboration and conversation between a group of individuals (up to 250 at this time but will be increasing this year). Attendees are given the opportunity to mute or unmute. There are many participation tools available (like sharing screens, hand raising, and a whiteboard) and is best suited for smaller collaboration vs a more structured one-to-many presentation. 
• Why use a Teams live event? They are designed for presentation-style events to a larger group (up to 10,000 at this time) and most of the attendees can view only. A standard live event allows multiple, presenters who can share audio, cameras, and their screens to present content. They do not need to be located in the same place. However, if the meeting is taking place in a larger room and the organizer chose to capture it using a professional video production crew, presenters must be in the same location as the video crew. 

There are two ways you can produce a live event: 

• Utilize the power of what you already have—Microsoft Teams. It’s a lightweight option to create the event and invite presenters and panelists to participate on their own devices. 
• Use an external app or device with a professional camera, video production crew, and sound setup. Use this option if you already have a production setup (for example, media mixers) that supports streaming to an RTMP service. This method is typically used in auditorium events, such as town halls, where a stream from a media mixer is broadcast to the audience. 

Team Roles 

Organizer, Producer, Presenter, and Attendee 

Organizer 

The organizer is responsible for scheduling the live event. They ensure the event is set up properly with the desired permissions for attendees and who will be managing and running the event. 

• Creates the live event 
• Sets attendee permissions 
• Selects the production method 
• Configures event options (video availability and Q&A, for example) 
• Invites the attendees 
• Selects the event group members 
• Manages generated reports after the event is over 

Producer 

The producer is a host who makes sure attendees have a great viewing experience by controlling the live event stream. 

• Starts and stops the live event 
• Shares own video 
• Share participant video 
• Shares active desktop or window 
• Selects layouts 

Presenter 

The presenter is responsible for either presenting audio, video, or a screen to the live event, or moderates Q&A. A Teams live event can be run by one or more presenters but there can be only one active presenter at a time. However, the event can be handed off to another presenter at any time. Presenters can only share audio, video, or a screen (desktop or window) in live events produced in Teams. 

Attendee 

The attendee is simply a viewer and can watch the event live or on-demand, either anonymously or authenticated through the organization. They can also participate in moderated Q&A during the event, which is hugely helpful for engagement with larger audiences. 

Though the presenter(s) will use the Teams desktop application to record the presentation, the attendees can view the presentation in a web browser that will not require the full version of Teams. 

Scheduling Teams Live Events

4. You can now choose live event permissions. 

• People and groups: Only the specified people and groups can watch the live event.
• Org-wide: Everyone in your organization can watch the live event. They must sign-in.
• Public: The live event will be open to anyone. Use when most of the attendees are outside your organization. No sign-in is required. You may notice that the public option is grayed out. By default, it is turned off, so you’ll need to contact your IT admin team and request it to be enabled.

6. You’ll see check boxes where you can make your choices. Some of the options seen may not have been enabled by your IT admin team, so you may need to request them to be enabled. Options include the following: 

• Recording available to producers and presenters. 
• Recording available to attendees: a recording of the event will be created for anyone that missed the event or for those who would like to watch the event later. 
• Captions: you’ll be able to see text captions created based on the audio and you’ll have the option to translate to up to six languages 
• Attendee engagement report: download a report which gives you information on the attendees. 
• Q&A: by default, this is toggled off. Check the box if you want attendees to be able to ask questions during the event. This is a great tool for participation since the attendees are always muted.

7. Once you’ve selected your options, click the Schedule button and you’ll see the following summary screen. To invite attendees, copy the link, and share it using a Teams channel or email. Teams will not invite people automatically to the event. You may also join or edit the event at any time using this summary screen. Access it later by opening it from your calendar, when needed.

Start a Teams Live Event 

Once you’ve scheduled the event and sent the invitation link to the attendees, you’re ready to get started!  

1. From your calendar, join the event. Nothing has officially started yet, but you’ll see two preview screens once the interface loads.

2. The left screen allows you to queue up the first thing that you would like to broadcast. The right screen is what viewers will see in real-time, while the bottom pane shows presenters and producers.

3. Make sure that your audio and video solutions are selected and working properly before you broadcast yourself. The meeting is in pre-live mode at this time, and attendees will see a screen that reads “The live event hasn’t started”.

5. Once video or content from the bottom pane is queued up, select 'Send live' so the audience can see your presentation. Remember, the event can’t be stopped and restarted. It can last up to 16 hours from the start time and there is a 10-20 second delay. Select Continue when you’re ready.

6. On the next screen, you’ll see that the event has changed from pre-live to live.

7. If you’d like to switch to another source (including video from another presenter), click on the content in the bottom pane and it will appear in the Queue window. Click Send live to share with the live event. The attendees/viewers will only see what you have on the right screen. When you share something in Teams, you’ll notice that the chosen content will have a red outline and you have controls over the presentation. There are controls on the top of the screen to hand control to another presenter, as well as a control on the bottom right (that can be moved around) that enables or disables video and audio, stop sharing, or you can leave the event. The Teams interface may disappear when you select content. Double click on the bottom controls to return to Teams either before or during the start of the event.

8. You’ll notice icons in the upper right-hand corner that will allow you to do things like create notes for the event, chat with other presenters, or invite new presenters, if needed. The viewers will not be able to see this menu. If enabled, you’ll see an icon that allows for interactive Q&A during the event.  

9. At the end of your event, you can either leave (this allows you to exit without ending it, just make sure there is at least one presenter still participating) or choose End to completely end the event.

10. After the conclusion of the event, you can access things like a .mp4 recording, the Q&A report, attendee engagement reporting, a transcript, as well as additional options. This menu can be accessed by opening the event on your Teams calendar.

11. That’s it! Keep in mind that Microsoft Teams live events require much more practice time than a typical Teams meeting. There’s a lot more production involved and several moving parts. I’d recommend running a test event to work out all of the potential kinks and practice collaborating. Give it a try! I’m sure you’ll find this method of presentation to be both professional and highly effective.

Attend a Teams Live Event 

Microsoft Teams live events are very easy to join from anywhere. Watch the live event and participate in the moderated Q&A through Teams desktop app or through the Teams web app. You are not required to have Teams to attend! These events are designed to be listened to and viewed only, so you won’t be able to share audio or video. Again, you can ask questions during the event, even anonymously. Here’s how to successfully attend: 

1. Open the live event link that was provided to you to join the event.

2. If you are currently using the Teams desktop application, the event will open up right away. 

3. If you are opening using Outlook on the web, for example, you have the choice of joining using the web app or the desktop app.

4. You’ll see the message “The live event has not yet started” if the event hasn’t started. 

5. If the event is open to the public, you’ll join as an authenticated user if you’re already signed in to Teams. If you’re not signed into Teams, you’ll be able to join anonymously online using the web app.

7. Once the live event is over, you can still watch the recording, if set up by the organizer. All you need to do is follow the same link you used to join!

8. If the live event begins and the resolution/quality is low, you can manually reset it to a higher resolution by clicking on the gear on the bottom right.

Election highlights: Trump supports Elon Musk-backed government spending plan; Harris travels to Pittsburgh ahead of the debate

Coverage on this live blog has ended. For the latest news, click here.

What's happening today on the campaign trail:

• Vice President Kamala Harris is in Pittsburgh, where she will prepare for next week’s debate. After extended negotiations, she and former President Donald Trump agreed to the rules for the debate , which will use the same format as the June face-off between Trump and President Joe Biden.
• Trump returned to his former home state to deliver remarks at the Economic Club of New York where he announced he would adopt an Elon Musk-backed government spending plan if re-elected. He also appeared virtually at the Republican Jewish Coalition annual leadership summit in Las Vegas.
• Their running mates also hit the trail today. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio blasted the late Sen. John McCain's son for backing Harris in comments to a crowd in Phoenix, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz spent the day in Pennsylvania and delivered remarks in Erie this evening.

Asian Americans have largest voter registration increase, new analysis shows

Sarah Poontong, 49, became a citizen late last year and one of the first things she did was register to vote. 

She’s part of a notable trend — Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders have had the largest increase in voter registration of any racial group in the country from January to June, compared to the same period during the 2020 election cycle. That’s according to analysis first shared with NBC News from the civic engagement nonprofit APIAVote and the research company TargetSmart.

How some of the internet’s most popular pro-Trump pundits ended up as paid messengers for Russian propaganda

Brandy Zadrozny

Ryan J. Reilly

The video introducing Tenet Media  hit many common conservative tropes: Mainstream media couldn’t be trusted. Free speech was under attack. Independent and uncensored voices were sorely needed.

It featured the six commentators who would be the faces of the operation, already some of the most-followed voices in the increasingly crowded and influential world of online conservative punditry. Over a dramatic electronic music track, each of them offered a brief reason why Tenet was needed now more than ever.

Walz lays into Trump and the Republican Party with some of his harshest campaign rhetoric

Megan Lebowitz

Isabelle Schmeler

Democratic vice presidential nominee  Tim Walz  used some of his sharpest language on the campaign trail Thursday in remarks going after both former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Speaking at a rally in Erie, Pa., Walz borrowed a line from Josh Shapiro, the state’s Democratic governor by saying that “whenever Donald Trump’s talking about America, he’s s--- talking America.”

Judge Juan Merchan expected to rule tomorrow on Trump's bid to delay sentencing

The Manhattan District Attorney's office said in a letter to an appeals court tonight that Judge Juan Merchan is expected to rule tomorrow on Trump's lawyers' motion to postpone his sentencing until after the election.

Trump had been scheduled to face a sentencing hearing on Sept. 18, but the former president asked for it to be pushed back .

Deep divisions in battleground Pennsylvania over proposed sale of U.S. Steel to Japanese company

Gabe Gutierrez

Reporting from West Mifflin, Pennsylvania

It’s one the few things Vice President  Kamala Harris  and former President  Donald Trump  agree on: opposing the sale of U.S. Steel to the Japanese company Nippon Steel.

But the proposed deal is shattering party loyalty in parts of western Pennsylvania where some steelworkers feel they’re being used as political talking points.

Vance on Georgia shooting: ‘I don’t like that this is a fact of life’

Zoë Richards

Nnamdi Egwuonwu

During a campaign rally in Phoenix this evening, Vance said that the school shooting in Georgia this week that left four people dead was "awful," and he referred to the shooter, identified as a 14-year-old boy, as "an absolute barbarian."

“No parent should have to deal with this. No child should have to deal with this. And yes, after holding these folks up in prayer and giving them our sympathies, because that's what people deserve in a time of tragedy, then we have to think about how to make this less common," Vance said before arguing that strict gun laws were not the solution.

"I don't like that this is a fact of life," Vance added.

The vice presidential nominee vouched for efforts to "bolster" security at schools which he described as "soft targets."

"If these psychos are going to have to go after our kids, we've got to be prepared for it. We don't have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality that we live in. We got to deal with it," Vance said.

When reached for comment about the remarks, Vance spokesperson William Martin criticized Harris on school safety and said her “weak, failed, and dangerously liberal agenda makes her unfit for office.”

Walz called Vance's comments "pathetic," saying on X that kids "deserve better.

Harris also criticized Vance, saying on X that shootings "are not just a fact of life" and calling for action.

Vance's comments echo those of some Republican lawmakers in response to past school shootings, woh have urged for beefing up school security and in some cases arming teachers in an effort to thwart school shootings.

Republican Jewish voters explain why they back Trump

Reporting from Las Vegas

At the Republican Jewish Coalition Summit, an annual gathering of Jewish community leaders, donors and GOP politicians, voters told NBC News why they're backing Trump this November.

“We're talking about somebody who has had a record of success in everything he's done," said Bill Cohen, who's from Sioux City, Iowa. "Whether it was protecting Israel, whether it was straightening things out with the United Nations, we could go through a whole list of 50 things of why he why he was good for the United States," the 77-year-old added.

Rosalie Thompson, a retiree from Miami Beach, Florida, said Trump's record speaks for itself.

“The two candidates have a record, and Donald Trump's record is better for the economy, for the country, for the free world,” she said.

But not all of the attendees were on board the Trump train. Madison Friedman, 32, from Los Angeles said that as of now, he's sitting this election out.

"I would say that you have to really love the candidates you’re voting for," said the software consultant. "I’m still learning about both of them for now."

Putin says Ukraine’s incursion failed; claims he supports Harris in U.S. election, citing her ‘infectious’ laugh

Yuliya Talmazan

Russian President Vladimir Putin  said Thursday that  Ukraine ’s gamble to  seize his country’s territory  has backfired by boosting his own military’s advance, a boast he paired with a teasing claim of support for  Vice President Kamala Harris  in the upcoming  U.S. election .

Speaking at an economic forum in the far-eastern city of Vladivostok on Thursday, he said it was the “sacred duty” of the Russian army to do everything to “throw the enemy out” of the border region of Kursk and protect its citizens after  last month’s stunning assault .

Yet, Putin also said that Moscow’s main goal remained capturing the Donbas region, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland where  Russian troops have been pushing forward for months .

Despite the family drama, Tim Walz’s mother says she believes her son will be VP

Kelly O'Donnell

Darlene Walz, the mother of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, remains supportive of her son’s bid to be vice president, even as other members of the family are divided, she told NBC News in a brief phone conversation today.

Darlene Walz made clear that she has grown tired of the public scrutiny of her family and believes her son “is going to be in the White House.”

Familial divisions over Walz’s role as the Democratic vice presidential nominee came into public view last week after a Facebook post and several subsequent comments from his estranged older brother, Jeff, were amplified by  multiple   media outlets .

Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly explains why he criticized Trump's Medal of Freedom comments

Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly elaborated today on why he criticized the former president's comments about the Presidential Medal of Freedom being "better" than the Medal of Honor.

Speaking at a Colorado State University event, Kelly said "when someone says that one medal is more important than the other, I just corrected the record."

"I believe the president had it wrong, and we just needed to correct that," he added.

Kelly also emphasized that Medal of Honor recipients "did something that was irrationally brave, that the assumption would be when he or she did it, that you would be killed. That's kind of the level."

Kelly had previously rejected Trump's comments about the medals to CNN, saying that the medals are "not even close. No equivalency of any kind."

Vance: 'Who cares' what John McCain's son thinks about the 2024 race

Vance tonight dismissed a recent endorsement of Harris by the late Sen. John McCain’s youngest son .

"Look, who cares what somebody's family thinks about a president," Vance said in response to a reporter's question at a campaign event in Phoenix. "John McCain died, what, 5, 6, 7, years ago? And the media is turning into a story, what John McCain's family says about Donald Trump."

McCain, R-Ariz., died in 2018 a year after he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Vance said he did not believe that John McCain would have backed “all the destruction” Harris has brought to security at the U.S.-Mexico border.

He also said that while he did not know McCain personally, the late senator and Trump likely shared commonalities, namely that "they didn’t let their personal grievances get in the way of the country."

Trump has repeatedly disparaged McCain over the years, including after his death.

Walz alludes to political differences with some of his family members

Katherine Koretski

Emma Barnett

Walz addressed the ongoing disagreements with members of his family after  photos  of Walz family members wearing “Walz’s for Trump” shirts while posing with a Trump flag surfaced yesterday.

“All of you know, I need to talk to my relatives, too," he told a Pennsylvania crowd today. "Trust me on this. Nothing makes you more middle Midwestern than having your family be on this stuff.” 

Trump  reposted  the photo on Truth Social, which shows distant cousins of the governor's wearing shirts announcing support for Trump, saying it was “a Great Honor" to have the endorsement of Jeff Walz, the Minnesota governor's brother. Jeff Walz has not officially endorsed Trump, but he has said he's "thought long and hard" about the possibility of doing so.

A slew of Facebook posts from Jeff Walz were picked up by the New York Post, in which he said his brother is “not the “type of character” who should make decisions about America’s future.”

Walz’s brother later went on News Nation saying he no longer wishes to be involved in any political campaign, saying, “It wasn’t my intent, it wasn’t our intent as a family, to put something out there to influence the general public.” 

NBC News has reached out to members of the Walz family for further comment.

Jack Smith seeks to streamline Trump’s appeals in election interference case amid delays

Daniel Barnes is reporting from the federal courthouse.

No date has yet been set for former President Donald Trump’s federal trial over his scheme to overturn his 2020 presidential loss by spreading what an indictment called his “ unsupported, objectively unreasonable, and ever-changing “ claims of mass voter fraud.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan held a status hearing in the case in a federal courtroom in Washington on Thursday, nine days after a new federal grand jury  returned a superseding indictment  against Trump charging him with the same four felonies he first faced in his  original indictment last August : conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.

Walz discusses efforts to appeal to red-county voters in Michigan

Walz appeared on local Michigan radio station WCMU this afternoon to make a direct pitch to “voters in deep red Michigan counties.”

“These are folks I know well,” Walz began. “It’s not only how I grew up in rural Nebraska, but it’s the districts that I represent in southern Minnesota. Ag districts, folks that care.” 

Walz said many rural voters have benefited from the policies of the Biden-Harris administration and would stand to benefit for Harris’ own proposals.

“I think the disconnect is trying to tell people that these are policies that make a difference to them. Whether it’s the strong infrastructure bill that happened, investments in them, investments in local schools, making sure their property taxes stay low,” he said.

“We just saw here recently Vice President Harris talk about tax deductions on startup businesses. People have their dreams that they want to get, they want to try and launch," he continued. "And the idea of a tenfold increase in tax credits for folks when they get started, those are the things that make a difference.”

'He’s pissed off about it': Vance fields question about Project 2025 at campaign field office

Alec Hernández

Reporting from Phoenix, Ariz.

Prior to his publicly announced campaign stop here this afternoon, Vance dropped by a Trump campaign field office in battleground Maricopa County for the second stop of his multi-day west coast campaign swing.

Accompanied by his family as he greeted assembled supporters and volunteers, Vance made a point to ask those in the audience about what they were hearing from voters as they made phone calls and knocked on doors on behalf of the campaign. One woman mentioned to Vance that she hears a lot about Project 2025 — a policy agenda compiled by the conservative Heritage Foundation that both Trump and Vance have tried to distance the campaign from. 

“Kamala Harris is running dishonest TV advertisements because Kamala Harris is a dishonest person who doesn’t have a record to run on,” Vance said of Harris’ campaign’s effort to tie the two entities together. 

“I know from experience, nobody speaks for Donald J. Trump except for Donald J. Trump,” he continued, adding that Trump is “pissed off” about the association with the white papers, and reiterated that only Trump himself “will set a Trump 47 agenda.” 

Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025 , posting on his social media platform Truth Social in July that he knows nothing about the project. The Harris campaign, for its part, recently launched a new 30-second ad spot seeking to tie the Trump campaign to plan.

Teamsters says Harris will meet with union members on Sept. 16

Teamsters announced in a post to X that Harris would hold a roundtable with union members on Sept. 16.

The union has previously held roundtables with Trump and Biden, when the president was still running for a second term.

Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien said in a statement that the group's members "appreciate" Harris taking the time to meet in person.

"We look forward to having a conversation on the direction of the country and the issues that matter to working people," he added.

Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to all the charges in the federal tax case against him. The sentencing for President Joe Biden’s son is scheduled for Dec. 16.

Howling werewolf design crowned a winning 'I voted' sticker in Michigan

Michigan's secretary of state unveiled the winning designs for the state's "I Voted" sticker design contest.

At the top of the list is a sticker design by middle school student Jane Hynous depicting a muscular werewolf ripping off his shirt, howling in front of an American flag beneath the words "I voted."

Two other elementary/middle school category winning stickers said "I voted yay" and "I'm cool I voted."

Another winning design leaned into artist Breanna Tanner’s Midwestern roots with, “Ope, I voted.”

"I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and creativity from the people of our great state," Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said in a news release . "Now, let’s use the same energy in casting a vote this November. I encourage every eligible voter to make a plan now to have your voice heard — vote with an absentee ballot, at an early voting site, or on Election Day — and feel proud to wear a sticker designed by a fellow Michigander."

The nine winning designs will be available for voters casting ballots in November, according to the release.

Harris campaign to launch a big ‘weekend of action’ around Trump and Project 2025 ahead of the debate

Yamiche Alcindor

Harris’ presidential campaign is planning to launch a weekend of action focused on what it calls the dangers of a potential second Trump presidency and Project 2025, a conservative governing agenda that Harris has repeatedly criticized on the campaign trail and plans to bring up during the presidential debate on Tuesday, according to campaign officials who shared the plans first with NBC News.

As part of the effort, which Harris’ aides said was the campaign’s biggest weekend of action to date, the campaign will have more than 2,000 events that it expects will reach more than 1 million voters. Volunteers, who plan to work more than 20,000 shifts, and key campaign surrogates will talk to voters “about Trump’s extreme plan to ban abortion nationwide, cut Social Security and Medicare, and spike taxes by $3,900 each year for middle-class families,” according to officials.

The efforts are also aimed at appealing to swing voters who may be drawn in by the recent endorsements of Harris by  former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. , and  Jimmy McCain , the youngest son of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

Trump says he plans to ban mortgages for undocumented immigrants

Alexandra Marquez

Trump today blamed undocumented immigrants for "driving up housing costs," before promising to "ban mortgages for illegal aliens in California."

The comment comes after the California state Senate sent AB 1840 to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk last month. If Newsom signs the bill, it would amend the "California Dream for All" program, which gives down payment assistance to qualified first-time homebuyers, to include undocumented immigrants.

Trump's vow to ban mortgages for undocumented immigrants came during a section of his speech in which he promised to lower housing costs if elected, saying, "As soon as I get to office, we will make housing much more affordable."

Sen. Joe Manchin appears to endorse former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in Senate race

Annemarie Bonner

During an interview with Merit Street Media's "The News on Merit Street," independent West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin appeared to endorse former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in Maryland's Senate race.

"I'll give you one person who I know who's absolutely cut out to be a U.S. Senator: Larry Hogan in Maryland," he said.

Hogan, a popular two-term GOP governor, is running against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrook in a competitive general election race in the solidly Democratic state.

In response to the apparent endorsement, Alsobrooks campaign spokesperson said this race is about preventing Republicans from taking back the Senate majority.

“Angela Alsobrooks is proud to be supported by Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Wes Moore, and Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen. Angela and those incredible leaders know that this race is about protecting Democrats’ Senate majority, and stopping Republicans from taking back the Senate Majority and passing an agenda that will take away our freedoms and harm hardworking Maryland families," she wrote.

Manchin's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

N.C. judge agrees to mail ballot pause as RFK Jr. fights to get off ballot

Jane C. Timm

A judge in Wake County, North Carolina, today refused to force state election officials to reprint ballots to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name, but agreed to order a brief delay so Kennedy can appeal the decision to a higher court.

North Carolina election officials were scheduled to start mailing ballots tomorrow morning to voters who requested them, but were told today by the state election board to table those plans. Kennedy was given 24 hours to seek appeal, and if that effort is denied, ballots may still start going out tomorrow afternoon.

“The bottom line is: make plans to not send ballots out tomorrow morning, but be ready if that situation changes and we need to send out ballots later tomorrow,” State Board of Elections General Counsel Paul Cox said in an email to election officials today.

As a third-party presidential candidate, Kennedy had fought to secure ballot access in North Carolina. But now that he has dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump, he is seeking to remove himself as an option for voters in the battleground state.

Trump plugs Elon Musk-backed plan on government spending in speech

Jillian Frankel

Jake Traylor

Vaughn Hillyard

Trump announced today that if re-elected, he plans to adopt billionaire Elon Musk’s plan for a government efficiency commission to cut federal spending, adding that Musk has agreed to lead the commission “if he has the time.”

The announcement came as the former president delivered remarks before members of the Economic Club of New York in midtown Manhattan, where he outlined a seven-pillar economic plan. 

“I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump said.

The former president continued, “As the first order of business, this commission will develop an action plan to totally eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months. This will save trillions of dollars.”

This year’s Democratic playbook features a lot of football

Allan Smith

When Vice President Kamala Harris introduced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her new running mate at their first rally together, she called him “coach.”

One of the first stops on the campaign’s pre-convention bus tour was to a town in Pennsylvania where Walz spoke to a high school football team.

And then, at the convention itself in Chicago last month, Walz received his own pep rally when a parade of his former players took the stage wearing their old jerseys.

Walz’s football ties are a lynchpin of the Democratic effort to brand itself as the “normal” party this fall, right up there with Walz’s love of hunting and Harris’ time working at McDonald’s. 

The first presidential debate between Harris and Trump is less than a week away. NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell takes a look back at Harris’ performances in past debates. 

Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson says muted debate mics limit Harris' ability to 'prosecute the political case' against Trump

Nicole Moeder

During an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Ian Sams said that the agreed upon rule over muted mics will be "challenging" for Harris.

“I think what’s really challenging and unfortunate about this debate format is that it limits the vice president’s ability to prosecute the political case against President Trump,” he said.

He said they agreed willingly agreed to the rule “because of the insistence by Trump’s campaign to have the microphones muted, up to what we believe was threatening to pull out of the debate.” 

Trump responds to Russian sanctions, accuses Harris of trying to 'interfere in and suppress the Election'

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump attacked Harris and the Justice Department, accusing both of trying to "interfere in and suppress the Election" in response to the Justice, State and Treasury departments' sanctions and criminal charges announced yesterday to target what the Biden administration says are Russian government-backed attempts to manipulate U.S. public opinions ahead of the election.

"Comrade Kamala Harris and her Department of Justice are trying to interfere in and suppress the Election in favor of the Democrats by resurrecting the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and trying to say that Russia is trying to help me, which is absolutely FALSE," he wrote. "In fact, President Putin would much rather see Comrade Kamala Harris in Office."

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced charges against two employees of the Russian-backed media network RT. They were accused of implementing a scheme that sent millions of dollars to right-wing commentators through a media company. The platform appears to match the description of Tenet Media, which is known for pro-Trump commentators.

Harris raised more than $300 million in August, extending cash windfall

Natasha Korecki

Carol E. Lee Carol E. Lee is the Washington managing editor.

Harris’ political operation raised more than $300 million in the month of August — more than twice as much as Trump’s operation gathered in the same period — two sources familiar with the Harris fundraising numbers told NBC News. 

The sources did not specify the exact fundraising haul, but the more than $300 million figure, which includes the campaign and related entities, signals that the breakneck pace of fundraising has not slowed since money began gushing in upon President Joe Biden’s July 21 announcement that he would step aside from seeking the Democratic nomination. 

The next campaign finance disclosure deadline for Harris’ campaign is Sept. 20.

Trump election interference hearing adjourns without new trial date

The federal judge presiding over Trump's election interference case said this morning that she intends to allow prosecutors to file an opening brief outlining their immunity arguments but did not make any scheduling rulings during today’s hearing, which adjourned after a little over an hour. 

It appears Judge Tanya Chutkan will not bother to set a new trial date at this time, as she and all parties agree that further pretrial appeals in the case are inevitable.

Chutkan said she will try to get a scheduling order out as soon as today.

Harris launches new ad tying Trump to Project 2025, targeting Black voters on NFL Sunday

Marquise Francis

Harris’ presidential campaign launched a new ad focused on “ Project 2025 ” today, taking direct aim at Trump and “his MAGA loyalists’ dangerous plan” that, it claims, will control Americans’ lives.

Developed by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation and at least two dozen allies of Trump, Project 2025 is an outline of far-right policy proposals created as a blueprint for the next Republican president. The group has  wound down its policy work  amid criticism but Democrats have continued to make it a key campaign issue.

The Harris campaign’s new  30-second spot , which was shared first with NBC News, is aimed at Black Americans in key battleground states in hopes of making  inroads with a demographic  Democrats need to win over to be successful in November.

Hunter Biden intends to change plea on federal tax charges

Sarah Fitzpatrick

LOS ANGELES — Hunter Biden intends to change his plea from not guilty to accepting a sentencing that would come from a guilty verdict in the federal tax case against him, his attorney Abbe Lowell said today.

The announcement was made shortly before jury selection was expected to begin in what would have been Hunter Biden’s second trial this year. The only surviving son of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden is the first offspring of a sitting president to stand trial on criminal charges.

The conditions of the plea were not immediately disclosed, nor was it clear whether the judge will accept his attempt to avoid a trial and move straight to sentencing.

The news came after Hunter Biden and his attorneys had a private meeting before court today with U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi, who is presiding over the case.

Pro-Palestinian protests return to campuses adding election complication

Alex Seitz-Wald

Students are barely back on campus, but pro-Palestinian protests have already returned, putting a divisive issue back in the spotlight that Democrats had hoped Harris' nomination might allow them to move beyond it.

While few expect this fall’s protests to match the size or ferocity of last spring’s, when tent encampments roiled campuses and several university presidents lost their jobs amid criticism of their handling of the demonstrations, the new round of protests will come just as Democrats try to organize college campuses to mobilize voters for the November election.

“This isn’t going away. We’re not going away. Young people and their pursuit of justice and equity everywhere is not going away,” said Rania Batrice, a Palestinian American Democratic strategist.

Judge in Trump's election interference case says she's not considering the electoral schedule

Rebecca Shabad

Judge Tanya Chutkan said in court that the 2024 election is not a factor in her decisions about scheduling the proceedings in Trump's election interference case.

“I understand there is an election pending,” Chutkan said. “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule. ... That’s nothing I’m going to consider.”

“This case has been pending for a year. We’re hardly sprinting towards the finish line here,” Chutkan added. “We can’t even really contemplate a trial date due to the looming appellate issues.”

Harris travels to Pittsburgh to prepare for debate

The vice president is traveling to Pittsburgh today, where she will spend time preparing for Tuesday's debate. She’ll be doing debate prep and making informal campaign stops during the day, several campaign officials said.

Pittsburgh was chosen because the location will allow her to make the most of her time in a key battleground state, they said. Past presidential candidates have also traveled to key states to prepare for their debates, including John Kerry, who spent several days in Wisconsin, Barack Obama who went to a resort in Henderson, Nevada, and George W. Bush, who stayed at a hotel near Miami, Florida.

Vance explains how he thinks day care costs should be lowered

Vance suggested ways to alleviate the high costs of day care in remarks yesterday at a conservative group's event in Arizona, saying that extended family could help out and that people shouldn't be required to obtain onerous certifications to become child care workers.

"One of the ways that you might be able to relieve a little bit of pressure on people who are paying so much for day care is make it so that maybe like grandma or grandpa wants to help out a little bit more or maybe there's an aunt or uncle that wants to help out a little bit more. If that happens, you relieve some of the pressure on all of the resources that you're spending on day care," Vance said at Turning Point USA's event in Mesa, Arizona.

Acknowledging that families may not have that extra set of hands, Vance said people should be empowered to get trained in the skills needed to take care of children.

"What we've got to do is actually empower people to get trained in the skills that they need," he said. "We've got a lot of people who love kids, who would love to take care of kids, but they can't, either because they don't have access to the education that they need or, maybe more importantly, because the state government says you're not allowed to take care of children unless you have some ridiculous certification that has nothing to do, nothing to do with taking care of kids."

"Don't force every early child care specialist to go and get a six-year college degree where they've got a whole lot of debt," he said.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , however, requirements to be a day care worker vary by state. Some states, for example, mandate that these workers have a high school diploma or the equivalent. Some states also require certain credentials and training.

Status conference starts in Trump's federal election interference case

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has begun today's status conference in Trump's election interference case, with scheduling for the trial the primary focus.

Trump and special counsel Jack Smith have proposed two dramatically different timelines for the future of the case, with Smith requesting the judge schedule proceedings to address questions about whether Trump should be immune from prosecution for certain actions leading up the the Jan. 6 riot, and Trump's lawyers asking her to first address his motion to dismiss the indictment.

Texas AG Ken Paxton sues county over voter registration forms

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton went to court to try to stop a large Democratic-leaning county in the state from mailing out voter registration forms ahead of November's election.

Bexar County, which is Texas’ fourth-most populous county based in San Antonio, voted this week to spend almost $400,000 to encourage voter registration by sending out paid-postage forms to unregistered Texans, despite threats from Paxton that he would sue if they did so.

Paxton, a Republican, has made combating voter fraud a central part of his legal agenda, even though those efforts have resulted in little proof of widespread fraud he has claims exists.

“The distribution of forms to unverified recipients could induce ineligible people—such as felons and noncitizens—to commit a crime by attempting to register to vote,” the attorney general’s office said in a news release, noting that the election code does not specifically authorize counties to mail out registration forms.

Voter registration forms in Texas ask voters for their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Eligibility is later verified by the secretary of state’s office before the voter can be registered. The form also requires registrants to swear under penalty of perjury that they are a citizen of the United States and that they are not disqualified from voting by a felony conviction. 

Bexar County’s attorney, Larry Roberson, told the county commissioners that state law prohibits mailing mail ballot applications, but not voter registration forms. The latter are broadly available and routinely mailed out by third-party groups.

Harris heads to Pennsylvania for debate prep as Walz campaigns in the key battleground state

Harris will head to Pittsburgh later this morning, where she will begin several days of preparation for Tuesday's presidential debate against Trump.

Walz, meanwhile, will be campaigning today in Pennsylvania. He's scheduled to deliver remarks at a campaign rally in Erie at 6 p.m. ET.

Trump to speak at two events while Vance campaigns in Arizona

Trump is slated to give remarks at the Economic Club of New York at 11:30 a.m. and to virtually address the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership summit around noon.

His running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, will be campaigning in the battleground state of Arizona and is scheduled to deliver remarks in Phoenix at 6 p.m. ET.

When Harris introduced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her new running mate at their first rally together, she called him “coach.”

Jury selection gets underway in Hunter Biden’s tax trial

LOS ANGELES — Jury selection is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles federal court today for Hunter Biden ‘s trial on tax-related charges .

It’s the second-ever criminal trial of a sitting president’s son, and the second for Hunter Biden this year.

Hunter Biden, 54, was  indicted in December  on three felony and six misdemeanor counts alleging that he failed to pay his taxes during a period when, he has said, he was in the throes of drug addiction, as well as when he got sober. The indictment says that “rather than pay his taxes, the Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle.”

Prosecutors say in the indictment that Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.”

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

How Biden is spending his final months as president

Monica Alba

Biden is launching a new phase of his presidency this week.

Liberated from the constraints of a re-election campaign , he’s in the beginning stage of a strategy that will take him over the next five months to places at home and abroad that he likely would have ignored as a 2024 candidate, but with the goal of keeping the White House , his legacy and some of his most significant accomplishments secure.

Trump and Harris campaigns agree to rules for ABC debate
