You have a little piece here and a little piece there. Maurice the Cbs Evening news starts now. Good evening. Im Maurice Dubois in for norah odonnell. There will be no Debate Rematch between Kamala Harris and donald trump. The former president sold himself as a winning boxer in todays announcement, writing, when a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are i want a rematch. Essentially calling harris the debates loser. But there will be several more Battleground Campaign stops over the next 54 days. Harris made two stops in North Carolina, and then she is onto pennsylvania tomorrow. The former president is in the west, speaking in Arizona Today and Las Vegas tomorrow. Cbss Nancy Cordes is in charlotte, North Carolina, where harris was riding high after her debate performance. Are we going to do this, North Carolina . Reporter Vice President harris threw down the gauntlet here in charlotte this afternoon. Two nights ago, donald trump and i had our first debate. [cheers and applause] and i believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate. Reporter but just minutes earlier, former President Trump had closed that door, posting that he would not do a third debate after doing one with harris and one with president biden. Weve done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate. Its too late, anyway. The voting has already begun. Reporter the debate about debates comes as trump is still taking heat from around the world for his claim at Tuesdays Faceoff that haitian migrants are feasting on other peoples pets in ohio. In springfield, they are eating the dogs. Reporter it is a debunked allegation that he continued to reference online today. He is also under fire for traveling to Campaign Events and 9 11 commemorations this week with this woman, laura loomer, who has claimed 9 11 was an inside job and has a history of making racist comments. Just this weekend, she trotted out bigoted tropes about the Vice President s indian heritage, writing that if Kamala Harris wins, the White House will smell like curry and White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center. No leader should ever associate with someone who spreads this kind of ugliness, this kind of racist poison. Reporter new Signs Today of the power of taylor swift. More than 400,000 people visited vote. Gov in just 24 hours after she directed them to the site and endorsed harris. She repeated the message at last nights mtv Video Music awards. Please register to vote for Something Else that is very important. [cheers and applause] the president ial election. I love you all. Reporter and that was music to the harris campaigns ears because while harris is doing better with young voters then biden was before he dropped out earlier this summer, it can be hard to predict how many young voters will actually turn out in the fall. Maurice . Maurice just 54 more days. Nancy cordes in charlotte tonight, thank you.

There are some really good people in this neighborhood, and a lot of them are less fortunate and they look forward to coming here. It is their favorite place. Reporter but Dan Stevens is feeling grateful. Ive been blessed my whole life so if this is the only bad thing that happens to me, im good, man. It doesnt bother me. It really doesnt. Reporter what he doesnt want is people coming inside and the overnight hours. As we go up to the drone, you can see they are in the process of putting up a temporary wall here. Beyond that, there are steel beams that were ripped in half by the hurricane, razorsharp at the head level. And maurice, the national Hurricane Center has said most of the injuries actually happen after a hurricane has passed. Maurice okay, Dave Malkoff, thank you.

Nothing more than a remnant low, meaning it is a Rainmaker Peered Memphis recording winds around 20 miles per hour appeared still a big rainmaker. Memphis will pick up somewhere between say 35 inches of rain, so close to half a foot. Birmingham, alabama, not even going to take the bulk of the storm. But the bands have been so heavy in birmingham. Birmingham could see 58 inches of rain, and look at the picture outside right now. This is memphis, tennessee. They are getting poured on. It is going to continue to pour through in the nighttime hours. It will weaken into the Day Tomorrow and overall just a betterlooking picture by the time you get into your Day Tomorrow. But i do want to talk quickly about other activity that is brewing in the tropics. So if you go well over to the coast of africa, off the coast of africa, we have got a system, you can see it right here, this system is tropical System Number 7, possibly becoming gordon before the day is done. And for everyone who said it is a quite hurricane season, i agree with you, it has been quiet, but september gives more hurricanes and tropical storms than any other month on the calendar. Im going to leave you with that one, mo. Maurice okay, lonnie quinn, thank you so much.

And i dont know where im going. Reporter as the Airport Fire exploded to more than 20,000 acres, lucas fought off the flames with a hose for more than 12 hours. You bought a Water Truck thinking someday you are going to need this. Not someday. Its going to happen. There is no question. It is not a house, its a home. I built it. Myself. Thats why i stayed, to try to save it. Reporter three major fires are still burning within 100 miles of los angeles. The largest is the bridge fire, which has charred more than 51,000 acres. Today, officials investigating the socalled Line Fire charged Justin Halstenberg with nine counts, including aggravated arson. They say evidence was found inside the 34yearolds Home and truck, and that he allegedly started to other fires the same day. Arson is just one of those crimes that is, to me, unbelievably despicable because it is a headscratcher. Reporter despite having now survived three fires, Robert Lucas has no second thoughts. Does it give you any pause about living here . Oh, absolutely not. This is a great place to live. Im at the age, i dont want to rebuild this, i want to save it. Finally getting the weather they need to get the upper hand on these blazes, including lower temperatures and less wind.
