Kamala harris, under the former president s skin, putting him on the defensive and then theres this superstar endorsement. How Taylor Swift support for harris because a problem for trump 5 00 a. M. On the East Coast are live look at Capitol Hill on this Wednesday Morning good morning after the big debate. Good morning, everyone. Im Kasie Hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us the morning after the debate feeling very different for Democrats Today than it was back in june, i spent all of Last Night and frankly, some time this morning corresponding with allies of the Vice President s campaign and they feel its just kind of putting it mildly. She did what she needed to do in the debate from the opening moments, Vice President harris seemed to be trying to go on offense. She went out of her way to shake Donald Trumps hand at the beginning, and she framed Donald Trumps answers this way im going to tell you on this debate tonight, youre going to hear from the same old tired playbook a bunch of lies canada sparred on issues that range from the economy, immigration, January 6, and then there was this contentious exchange over trumps Supreme Court, justice picks ending roe versus wade. See, now its not tied up in the federal government. I did a great service in doing it. It took courage to do it. And the Supreme Court had great courage in doing it. And i give tremendous credit to those six justices. They did exactly as he intended. And now in over 20 states, there are Trump Abortion bans which make It Criminal for a Doctor Or Nurse to provide Health Care in one state. It provides prison for life Trump Abortion bans that make no exception even for Rape And Incest Harriss Campaign felt that exchange was a particular High Point 0. 1 top paris adviser, david plaats, who also advised president obama, noted that theres a 40 Point Gap in undecided voters who are with harris in the point that she was making there as opposed to what Donald Trump was saying, each candidate also took moments Last Night to try to argue they would be the stronger leader when dealing with Vladimir Putin and the war in ukraine i know putin very well. I have a good relationship and they respect your president , okay. They respect me. They dont respect biden. How would you respect him that why . For what reason he hasnt even made a Phone Call in two years to put hasnt spoken anybody who would be sitting in kyiv with his eyes on the rest of europe . Starting with poland. And why dont you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor. And what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch so then theres. The question of whether the biggest moment of Debate Night may have happened actually just after the debate concluded, Pop Superstar Taylor swift posting on instagram. She cited in part a womens right to control her own body she endorsed Kamala Harris and she signed the Letter Taylor swift, childless Cat Lady joining me now to discuss all this. Leah wright rigueur, cnn political Analyst And Historian Ron Brownstein, cnn political analyst, bakari sellers, also a cnn political Commentator And David polyansky, who is a republican strategist. Welcome to all of you. Thanks for certain off i feel like i just kind of went too bad after the day in fairness, so i appreciate you guys hanging in there with me Ron Brownstein, lets start with The Big Picture here. Because there were such High Stakes for Kamala Harris in this debate. She had not been its kind of foreign before she was facing someone who had been on this stage multiple full times. I have to say the democrats that i talked to are absolutely thrilled this morning. Is that your takeaway to what are you looking at . I think the only way that debate could have gone better for her would have been if it wasnt october 20. And not September 10 is not an inconsiderable point. You know, i felt after the first debate with biden that if not for bidens obvious deterioration we would have been talking about how much Donald Trumps capacity to deliver an argument to stay on point to craft a message had declined and thats what we saw tonight. I mean, the age contrast, the Energy Contrast that typically, you know, Last Night, yeah, i guess it was its still still are one you know, one of the key problems democrats have faced in this race is that Donald Trumps retrospective Job Approval Rating . Has been increasing to a point where it has been higher in many polls and it was at any point during his presidency. Now why is that . Its because voters i think have been judging him mostly through the lens of what they didnt like about biden, particularly inflation, what the debate did Last Night was remind Voters Everything else that comes with Donald Trump and just one last point, trump sounded like someone who is calling into a fox news show. I mean, he he has spent so much time speaking to his core audience, which is still a strength and hes going to turn out a lot of those people that he thought. I think he had lost the ability to talk to a broader audience defending the January 6 rioters, saying everybody wanted roe v. Wade to be overturned, claiming again that he won the election and the the peak of this insisting that in a very kind of Racist Argument that immigrants are eating peoples cats and dogs. It was all he look like someone who was coming out of a dark Movie Theater in Des Sunshine and squinting because he has spent so much time talking to this narrow universe. He really had nothing to say to a broader, it is now real quick i mean, the underlying realities are still there 60 of americans think they are not better off because of the policies of the biden administration when trump was able to get to that, its a reminder that those are going to be headwinds for harris, but she couldnt have done any more than she did less. Well, David Polyansky leah, i i want you to weigh in and obviously want everybody to weigh in on this. But david, i want id like you to defend it to address this point of the i got multiple notes from people say, wow, its like i think we have seen which candidate is entirely online because there were these all of these moments where trump was focused on issues that seem very in one corner of the universe. I, you know, i was talking to its anecdata. But when you get texts from all your Family Members who dont really pay attention to this stuff until big moment like this, theyre kind of like, what is this one . Is he talking about . I dont know fully, but look, i think Last Night All Of Us that have been a part of politics for most of our adult lives. Participated in debates, no one truism, which is if you end up sending their candidate to the Spin Room after the debate, you didnt win and Last Night, Donald Trump went to the Spin Room inexplicably and took questions from the press the Vice President went to a debate watch party. Its a pretty good sign of where they both though, the night ended up and, you know, in terms of the message, well look, she was incredibly wellprepared. Make no mistake. You could see that from the start. But i think the most important part of it where she was on offense from the minute sheet, not only the minute she started talking, but the minute she walked on stage, she walked across to former president trumps podium and made him shake her hand she was prepared, she was confident and she was on offense from the start. I think that played into his worst fears in terms of not only not being able to proactively drive his message put to your point, fall back to what hes comfortable with, which is more conservative media. I mean, i think from the very beginning, one of the things that Ron Brown run brought up was that those of us who watched Joe Biden versus Donald Trump realizes that Donald Trump gave the second worst Debate Performance in American History. The problem was that the person who gave the worst debate in American History was also one that stage. And so when you actually tell youve been free to say that 75 days makes a lot of difference. When you take Joe Biden out of that debate, you see someone who is not capable in that gave Kamala Harris a little a little bit of the confidence. Look, she was nervous the first 567 minutes, everybody saw it in she had the ability to bait him and counter punch him. And thats what i said this debate was going to be about. It reminded me so much of ryan Garcia Versus Devin haney, which was its a fight that happened maybe three months ago, going to have to fill me Devin Haney was supposed to be a jabber and a good puncher. And Ryan Garcia was a counterpuncher and Kamala Harris came out and she made it. She baited, she used a jab and then she counterpunch. She she counterpunch she was able to hit him, Pivot And Move to the american people Last Night you saw someone who was very prepared and you knew about 9 28. I think im marked at 9 28 was when this thing was over. Thats when she went into the rallies. When she started talking about his rallies, which for him is has been wasnt clear. It was going to be over at that point, you know, once he hes sort of people came back at her. Those of us around the orbit said, look, at that point, he was going to unravel. It was going to go downhill and she was going to be able to find a groove up into that point. It might have been even it might have been nip and tuck. He Abortion Answer was that was pretty strong though. She was strong, but he unraveled. Yeah. He unraveled on rallies. She gave a very sound answer on reproductive freedom, scoring on substance, but he was done for after she questioned the size of his well, it was twopronged. Right. Because on the one hand, she had to make a case for herself her own policies and she was put on comfortable footing when she was asked very at that mirror at the top of the debate about abortion. And we saw that some of that Nervousness Fade away when she did that. And we then as bakari points out, the other thing that she was clearly had spent a lot of time practicing was how to get under Donald Trumps skin. And the other thing that kept sticking out to me too was that she clearly had studied how to use the Split Screen to her own advantage. And weve seen times when that can cause problems for candidates. I mean, when Barack Obama debated Mitt Romney, the first time, it was the way he look kind of agitated in the box next to Mitt Romney that made it seem as though he was struggling. She was doing things like this. I mean, if if youve opened your social Media Feed this morning, that is what you are seeing. Yeah. And i think also one of the things that she did really quite effectively as she has this line that shes been repeating over and over on the campaign trail, which is that Donald Trump is a deeply unserious man who is a deeply unserious candidate, who has serious consequences for the american public those facial expressions that asteroids of the splitscreen was all about showing the nation just how unserious, but how dangerous he is. And i have to say she i actually think that were not giving her enough credit. She eviscerated him Last Night in ways that are going to are that i have not seen in 60 some odd years of modern american president ial debates one of the things that i think we are not used to is that were not used to seeing Donald Trump be beat. So mercilessly on stage, we are used to kind of Donald Trump who can get under peoples skin, who comes up with nicknames who really just dominates in bullies. This is the through line for the republican president ial primaries in 2016. And again in 2024 but what we saw with somebody like Kamala Harris is that she put him on the ship, put him on the defensive. She controlled the narrative from start to finish, and she did exactly what she was trying to do, which is she told the american people who she was but she set the narrative about who Donald Trump was and just how dangerous he was for democracy. One of the things that i was afraid of just as someone who wasnt in the room but talking to people in the room. I was afraid of the imagery of Donald Trump standing next to the Kamala Harris. And i will readily admit that because of the fact that shes about 54, maybe hes 6 four to 65 to 55, whatever he is but i just felt like that imagery was just going to be this personification of strength. The Fact Sheet went over there and own that at the very beginning. It just for people watching. I mean, for every woman in the room, i was talking to my wife and others who were just like, oh yeah, from the very beginning, she brought it. This is what we did deal with every day. We dont care about the fact that im 5, four in heels, you know, i have to jump over these high bars. She took it to him from the very beginning and i think that actually is something small. But for her, i think it actually set the tone, contrast it with biden walking out. It was a different debate before anybody spoke. Yeah, for sure. All right coming up next here on Cnn Morning Taylor swift labeling herself a childless Cat Lady and endorsing Kamala Harris. But her support play a key role with younger voters plus the Vice President s strategy of baiting trump into one of his favorites. Topics seemed to pay off for her. And then theres this Kamala Harris reminded voters that she is a Gun Owner as Donald Trump argued, that she wants to take away americans firearms this is a radical left, liberal that would do this. She wants to confiscate, your guns were not taking anybodys guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff he veer locks. Can you imagine the progressive lens of the future .

She has a flat plan to confiscate Everybodys Gun in this business about taking everyones guns away. Tim walz and i are both Gun Owners. Were not taking anybodys its guns away, so stop the continuous lying about this stuff Kamala Harris, theyre reminding americans that she is a Gun Owner. It is something that she has mentioned. She did five years ago when she was running for president and she brought up that relatively unknown fact. Again, trying to focus on are appearing to signal her focus on moderates ahead of the Election Day on November 5 because ill be honest, i had forgotten that this is something that she had talked about in the past because it was something that perked my ears up immediately my sense this reminding people of this might do one of the things that many advisers have been telling her to do, which is identify more with moderate pragmatic voters because i feel like my surprise may reflect the way other americans might feel about i think it was twofold. It was one to point out the fact that Donald Trump is a just a constant liar, and she was able to articulate that over and over and over again. You got to realize the strategy was to hit him, Pivot And Move to the american people so it was look youre a liar. Boom, Hit You jab boom, and then pivot to the american people like, look, im a Gun Owner, just like the rest of you guys. Im not going to take away your guns thats just something that is so farfetched. And on this particular issue, shes very sound because i think its not an issue that is polled that much anymore. You know, theres some elections where you have like Second Amendment or whos better on common Sense Gun Reform or whatever that poll extremely high. I dont think its one of those issues but with School Shootings in the news and those type of things and violent crime, someone who can actually talk about common Sense Gun Reform and be a Gun Owner. I think goes along way you know, weve talked a couple of weeks ago about how had divine has been doing democratic Electoral College Strategies since the 1980s, describes the pivotal state in the country as me, paul, we, which is basically michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, they voted with the winner in every election since 1980. They have voted the same way in every election since 1980, except for 90 if you need eight when to where the one for bush and one for dukakis, blue bluecollar white voters are a bigger share of the electorate there than they are nationally. A lot of them own guns a lot of what you heard. I thought Last Night reflected the primacy, the likelihood that those states again, are going to be the Tipping Point states in the election. Not only guns, but fracking obviously and her she her advocacy of Gun Control, the democratic advocacy for Gun Control over the last 20 years as part of the reasons why places like oakland county, michigan, the suburbs of philadelphia madison, in wisconsin, had become so overwhelmingly democratic its not only an issue that helps republicans, but she does have to maintain a baseline of competitiveness in, among Non Urban Blue Collar voters in the states that are likely to decide the election. And talking about herself as a Gun Owner may help her clear that bar. All right. Still to come here after the break today. Of course, we remember a dark day in our nations history. It is the anniversary of 911. Were going to look at how President Biden and Vice President harris are honoring the lives lost that tragic, terrible day. Plus, in last Nights Debate, everything from abortion to the economy was on tap Last Night. Were going to take a closer look at what the candidates had to say about the issues what the Wharton School has said is Donald Trumps plan would actually explode the deficit.

Thousands of people in wrightwood forced to flee their homes homes, and businesses 4,000 acres already burned by Yesterday Afternoon all right. Time now for weather, Hurricane Francine strengthening this morning, expecting to make landfall in louisiana later today. Lets get to our Meteorologist Allison since our allison good morning. What should folks expect Today Right . So the real question is whether or not this intensifies even further. And to say it category two before it makes landfall, landfall for this storm is a little bit more than say about roughly 12 hours from now, right now at the moment, youve got those sustained winds at 90 miles per hour gusting up to 115 Youve got a lot of the watches and warnings in place to Hurricane Center saying it does expect it to get up to 100 miles per hour by early this afternoon. That would put it at a category two hurricane and then continued which make its way inland, likely landfall time around late this afternoon, early into the evening hours and then continuing to spread a lot of the heavy Rain Inland Weve already had very Heavy Rain so far, several of these areas in texas picking up at least 34, even as much as seven inches of rain in brownsville. That means theyve had more rain in the last 48 hours than they would normally see in the entire month of september. More rain is on the way. Were starting to see some of those outer bands begin to spread into areas of louisiana thats one of the concerns today. Another is going to be obviously the potential for damaging winds, but also tornadoes and water spouts. And thats not just for areas of louisiana, but that spreads all the way over into the panhandle of florida. Thats going to be concerned this afternoon and well into the evening hours. Theres two we talk about the Heavy Rain along the gulf coast, but look at how far that rain spreads inland, even a place like say, memphis, memphis, tennessee could possibly get four to six inches of rain out of this Storm Surge, certainly going to be a big concern, especially In The Red area here you can see south of morgan city, kasie, we could be looking at five to ten feet of Storm Surge all right. Allison chinchar for us this morning. Allison. Thanks very much for that. And still ahead here on cnn this morning, the biggest moment of the night might have happened after the debate concluded, Taylor Swift announced she is endorsing the Vice President. What this might mean for the race plus well show you more critical moments from last Nights Debate is Kamala Harris seemed to roll out practiced strategy. She got Donald Trump to take the bait people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion in boredom. She said, people started leaving, people dont go to her rallies. Theres no reason to go.

That was the home of last Nights President ial debate. Good morning, everyone. Im Kasie Hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us as we continue to dig into what happened in that contentious debate Last Night between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Its clear the Vice President arrived in philadelphia with a strategy to try to get under trumps skin to beijing in into arguing on her terms what the Wharton School has said is Donald Trumps plan would actually explode the deficit i went to the Wharton School of finance and many of those professors, the top professors, think my plan is a brilliant plan. Its a great plan. This is the same individual who took out a Fullpage Ad in the New York Times calling for the execution of five young black and latino boys who were innocent. The central park five, the central park five, they admitted they said they pled guilty and i said, well, if they pled guilty, they badly hurt a person, killed a person ultimately had if they pled guilty, then they pled not guilty our elections are bad at a lot of these illegal immigrants coming in. They tried to get them to vote. They cant even speak english. They dont even know what country theyre in practically Donald Trump was fired by 81 Million people so lets be clear about that. And clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that alright, panel is back. The backandforth with the eyes there as Donald Trump listened to her say that i think kind of says like the semiotics of that moment says it all. And i mean, Ron Brownstein, we have obviously, i mean, look, we all cover politics. We pay very close attention at the end of the day, the opinions of people that matter are the independent voters, right . And ron, we do have a little bit of a clue in terms of how they perceive this so when we asked who won the debate by party, it broke down this way 97 of democrats thought Kamala Harris won only 3 said she did not. 30 of republicans were willingng to sy they thought she won the debate. But look at that 69 of independent voters perceived it that way. Well, look, i mean, in many ways, harris, the harris on the Debate Stage as the harris on the convention stage, she was still here than you might have expected i mean, she she projected someone who could be president and as i said before, i mean, Donald Trumps retrospective Job Approval has been rising because people have been seeing him mostly through the lens of the idea that groceries were cheaper me, they had more money at the end of the week when he was president would he did over 90 minutes Last Night and not only only because She Baited him many times, it was because of his choices and what he chose to emphasize. He reminded the country of Everything Else that goes with Donald Trump being back in the white house. I mean, i still think there is Room And Necessity for her to imprint on voters more of what she would do to make their lives better but in terms of the personal contrast that was established Last Night of horror, someone who is kind of steady strong, normal, trump, you know, angry, chaotic, kind of out of control. Its not clear to me why they would want to risk and other debate and have anything other than that personal contrast, we what americans are thinking about. Yeah, let me let me push back on the framing of your question. If you dont mind this morning because you said that in laying out the question around, you said that the people that matter are independent voters and those of us who are in Kamala Harris orbit will tell you that she has to improve from 80 the to 90 with black voters. She has to improve with hispanic voters as well. When Joe Biden was the nominee, it was a question of Donald Trump Joe Biden or the couch. And we were we were deeply concerned about the couch out because people were not going to vote for Donald Trump, but they were going to come out and draw or just stay home in droves in vote for the couch. What she was able to do Last Night was wrapped it up. Could you saw in that same poll, democratic intensity those people who thought she did well, it was the high 90 if shes able to continue to do that, if shes able to touch 90 with black voters, right now, i hate, i hate being around brownstein is laying, but right now, hispanic it, has been a voters are in the high 30 for Donald Trump. If they creep below 35 , those people are independent voters in these surveys. Not all. I dont think but there are some what im trying to say and i think that the i know ron talked about this a long time ago, but i think it was also in the New York Times. She has some Belt Tightening to do with the base as well. And there is some slippage there that i think she improved on Last Night. And by the way, its not just the base. If you look at polling in in the swing states, the Swing Voters, its an increasing number of black and hispanic voters that are making up that population. Its only 58 white, which is usually upwards of 70 or higher. And so i think bakari is onto something there. But in addition, i think when you look at those clips with Donald Trump, its not that she got under his skin that matters the most. I dont think the the Swing Voters or the voters that matter the most in the seven Battleground States are going to make a decision based on him getting upset about an indication that she makes. I think she took them off message his Closing Statement, which you could tell he practiced and was prepared was what was a great Closing Message and should have been what he drove all across all Last Night in its stead when he took the bait, he was off message. He wasnt driving what his advisers wanted them to and needed them to so thats i think thats really interesting because the message throughout with incoherent. And this is one of the things that we have largely missed from Donald Trump that i think Kamala Harris has understood by watching his rallies one it is, it is clear that she prepared not just in terms of debating, but also that she has been quick to use a sports analogy. Shes been watching the tapes shes been going back. She has been watching and what he has been saying at his rallies in the kinds of things really alarming things that are proliferating in these spaces and so she was able to drive him into into that space so much so that i think one of the takeaways for the majority of people that were watching this was it doesnt matter what that Closing Statement was. It was just so incoherent. It was all over the place we were talking about. Theres one moment and i think over the course of the campaign, Donald Trumps team has made has made explicit statements about how they had made gains with black and latino voters and did all of that in a matter of Hours Today talking about haitians eating dogs, right . Even dogs and cats talking about sororities and fraternities, historically black fraternities sororities as some kind of Party Dismissing theyre importance. Once again, bringing up the whole black jobs, things. I think this is something that the american public is deeply concerned about. We certainly saw that in the Snap Polling that came out of this about how people are concerned about the messaging that hes putting out, that there is no message very brief and it was notable that her answer on Hes History of racebaiting was very different than what you did with dana . Yes. She did. She did not just brush it off. She went there. She is aware that she has to improve with those voters and that was not only one of the strongest answers are the night that was one of the strongest answers ive ever seen in our president so debate very interesting. All right, straight ahead here on cnn this morning, a second debate. The Harris Campaign wants one that will let you know how Donald Trump is responding to that challenge plus that endorsement for Kamala Harris from the worlds most famous childless Cat Lady six says as me send the mayor.

Theyre eating the dogs, the people that came in there eating the cats, theyre eating theyre eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is whats happening in our country. And its a Shame Katz in the campaign trail. That was Donald Trump peddling a baseless Conspiracy Theory that migrants are eating peoples pets to the most famous selfproclaimed childless Cat Lady endorsing Kamala Harris message will never find another like there is indeed no one like her Taylor Swift took to instagram. She wrote this quote, im voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes. I believe need a warrior to champion them. She added, i was so heartened unimpressed by her selection of running mate tim walz, who has been standing up for lgbtq plus rights f, and a womans right to her own body for decades Last Night, Donald Trump didnt shy away from his role in Overturning Roe Versus Wade what i did is something for 52 years, theyve been trying to get roe v. Wade into the states and threw the Genius And Heart and strength of six Supreme Court justices. We were able to do that here was harris making clear that she wants federal Abortion Rights protected federally once again, i absolutely support reinstating the protections of roe v. Wade and as you rightly mentioned, nowhere in america is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and asking for an abortion that is not happening all right. David polyansky, im going to put you on the spot because you have a daughter whos a big swifties. So you probably know as much or more as anyone at this table. I doubt that about just its how people respond to her. But also as the republican at the table, im really interested to know. Do you think Taylor Swift stepping in and doing this is going to move votes is going to make a difference. Sure, 100 you know, look, it was a great night for democrats Last Night there should be some celebration. It will last a day or two. And then this is gonna get back to the race that weve seen a very tight race which last time was about 11,000 Vote Difference in places like Georgia And Arizona so the debate will impact and move voters itll help shape the narrative. An endorsement like this can really move the needle over the long haul, especially with younger voters, with voters that i think bakari talked about earlier people that she needs to motivate to get out and vote in even if they are going to vote to make sure they vote for her and having enthusiasm about them think its i think it was the biggest part of Last Night to be honest. One of the things that i thought was interesting bakari, about how she framed this, was she said that she was voting for harris many traditional endorsements people will then say to their followers, supporters, people, you should vote for this person also, tangent didnt do that. She said in her norseman you do your research, you figure out who was the candidate for you. And by the way, you need to be registered to vote. Shes clearly talking to a group of people who she realizes may not interact with the political process. It seems to me that if there is power here, its in that and i actually i give her credit for taking the sort of Handsoff Approach instead of trying to tell people what to do. You know, my fiveandahalfyear old twin satie, shes going to listen to bad blood this morning while eating breakfast im a little Dance Party before they go to school, like we listen to Taylor Swift every morning in our household. Also think that some people arent picking up on something else. She did Hillary Clinton in 2016 was, im with her and she made the race more so about her. Right. And not about the public at large. I mean, thats the biggest criticism of the Hillary Clinton rates as much as i love Madam Secretary what Taylor Swift actually talked about, what she didnt lean into the fact that Kamala Harris is going to be the first female President Of The United States stay. She didnt lean into the fact that shes going to be the First Black Female President , et cetera, et cetera. She talked about the issues that matter to her substantively about things like reproductive rights in those freedoms. And so i think that gave were in such a Permission Structure is a, as a, as a community, as voters. I think it gave other women theyll permission to say, look, you know what, im standing on these issues. Im standing on them loudly and proudly the same Way Taylor swift did, you know a long time ago in a galaxy far away, i wrote a book called the power on the glitter, which is a history of the relationship hes been hollywood and politics going back to the 20s. And what i concluded was the main value that celebrities know it was about Louis Mayor in and Herbert Hoover but what celebrities do, most of all is expand your communications bandwidth. They put you in front of voters who are not going to find you through the normal political channels. And as we were talking about before, as mccarthy was mentioning, her challenge in many ways is to reach voters younger, nonwhite voters, in particular He Killer who are not necessarily easily contacted through conventional political channels. And what Taylor Swift does is reach them through other means. And they will hear an hear about the campaign here, about her endorsement, here about the need to register in a way that the debate itself, for example, was not going to mind what are you watched the debate and they probably did not watch the debate. So although one of the things that she did really quite brilliantly is that she linked to vote. Org, which is an organization that she has partnered with for years now. Weve seen her impact on Registration Numbers when she has 100 and one of the things that we know coming out of Last Night is that vote. Org experienced a massive like a two points, one during the debate when Kamala Harris was talking, she mentioned this point. She says registered to vote, right . Theres an immediate spike in its amongst that young demographic that she needs to win over. But two, when when Taylor Swift comes out and says, hey, this is the choice that im making, and im couching it in a framework of optimism and Joy And Hope that immediately triggers another spike. It also triggers a spun racing spike, which is deeply important for these larger implicated once one of the things i saw Last Night when that happened called beyond say, i dont know if i have the right number was calling and i know its late. Tell j i said it was happening, but we need your endorsement. So thats the next endorsement that waiting and that might be why she has to be blocked yeah, it couldnt couldnt be there for the inauguration when theyll come if beyonce springsteen, rally in philadelphia in early november is going to go to epic, thats going to be epic. I mean, im actually i was at the one that Hillary Clinton tried to do at the end. And you can actually tell at that rally which was a huge which deal big crowd or whatever. But somehow the energy was not, you know, its sort of prestaged. What he said to cleveland and not to detroit tells you everything you need to know that the Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign my gosh. Okay. Guys, thank you so much for being here at this very early or late hour. I dont know if anybody stayed up all night, but i did not thankfully.
