'These numbers are insane': MSNBC panel stunned by massive sign-up of Harris volunteers

On Saturday morning the co-hosts and panel of guests on MSNBC's "The Weekend" were stunned by the number of volunteers who have signed up to help Vice President Kamala Harris win the presidency in November.

Kicking off the segment on Saturday, MSNBC's Symone Sanders-Townsend pointed out to her co-host Michael Steele that the Harris campaign has signed up a whopping 170,000 volunteers and has scheduled over 2,300 events in battleground states.

As she put it, "Vice President Kamala Harris is hitting the ground not just running but literally sprinting because it is just about 100 days that she has to make her case to the people."

"The Kamala Harris coalition is hosting 2300 events to motivate voters in key swing states, the campaign has more than 250 battleground offices to organize in the months ahead. And since Sunday, 170,000 new volunteers — these numbers are insane — have joined the campaign effort," she reported.

That led co-host Steele to speak to guest Tara Setmayer, a former GOP strategist, and point out, "Tara, you and I have been having a lot of fun over the last week watching the politics evolve around the vice president and how she has been able to transition from behind the curtain, if you will, to, you know, to the main stage. What is your assessment of this transitional week for her?"

"As Symone unmentioned, 170,000 people, think about that, volunteered within a three or four day span to work on her campaign, raised over, well over $100 million, and seemingly has started to get under Donald Trump's skin," he added.

"There is one word and it is reinvigorated," Setmayer replied. "The country, the voters, the Democratic base is reinvigorated.Tthat is evidenced by what we have seen since last Sunday. It hasn't even been a week, people — it hasn't even been a week."
