Republicans fear the scandal will help harris make a play for a state, but hasnt gone for democrats since Brock Obama in 2008.

North carolina, but this issue is going to come and go. But the reality of whats happened in our country remains and thats why Donald Trumps going to win the state of North Carolina as democrats in North Carolina seek to turn Robinsons Controversy into a challenge for other republicans. I think that when people go to the polls, they need to think about these candidates who had supported and encouraged somebody like Mark Robinson and continue to do so. Now, democrats across the state of North Carolina, taking advantage of this nearly every statewide candidate down through the balance well, it has posted a photograph that the republican opponent has taken with robinson or touted an endorsement, even just kind of comments about the Lieutenant Governor. There was a fundraiser that was scheduled for Mark Robinson featuring the chair of the republican governors association, tennessee Governor Bill Lee, will a source familiar tells cnn that is no longer taking place. And Governor Bill Lee is not coming to North Carolina Dianne Gallagher, cnn back to you a little leak is a senior regional reporter for Blue Ridge public radio out of North Carolina, and she joins me now from atlanta. Thanks so much for being here with us. So youre youre normally based in North Carolina, the state as you well know, hasnt been very kind to democratic president ial candidates. As we heard theyre, democrats are hopeful and even some republicans are fearful that this scandal could make all the difference how Big A factor do you think it could be at the top of the ticket the top of the ticket is really what drives elections, is what weve all come to understand. And so for former President Trump, not having someone that he feel that he wants to be associated with potentially at the top of the ticket, is a really big deal in 20 20 former President Trump only won North Carolina by just over 1 . So this is a really big issue in North Carolina democrats, as we heard, are trying to tie trump to Robinson Trump will be there in North Carolina Today. Are you expecting him to address the Scandal Headon and more importantly, will it matter . Is it already too late yeah. I mean, robinson is still going to be on the ticket, so that ship has already sailed. Itll be really interesting to see if this makes republicans less excited to turn out to the ballot box. But on the opposite end of the spectrum this could really drive democrats who dont want to see robinson as in office to come out to the polls so in that sense, i think its really important im not sure how President Trump will react. Former President Trump, but i dont want to make any predictions hard to, hard to guess at the best of times. But listen, lets, lets go to robinson because youve covered him for some time. Were there any whispers of issues like these before now . Yeah. I mean, he really came Out Of Nowhere in 2018 with this speech around Gun Rights at a greensboro City Council meeting. And was really attractive candidate in 2020, i covered him at some back the blue rallies and western North Carolina and has just been able to be so charismatic, i think for the republican party during 2020 at a time when i think it was exciting for them to hear from the first black Lieutenant Governor and currently so he identifies as an evangelicals christian. Do you think that these allegations well hurt him, especially with that group yeah. Ive covered him at a Faith And Freedom coalition rallies recently this year, and he really came out, this was at a church in western North Carolina and talks about his evangelical beliefs and a lot of the things that are reflected in these posts and these these allegations are very much not aligned with the morality of the evangelical movement. I think its really important to say that the comments that hes made about or that the allegations have made about being potentially a black man nazi, but also just kind of being pro slavery. I think across the world, everyone has come together and said that thats not okay and i think im really interested to see how that lands with evangelical voters. Yeah, and donald from calling him Martin Luther for king On Steroids certainly raised a lot elbow, lot of eyebrows if we broaden this out a little bit, even before the scandal, democrats had poured millions into the State And Advertising sensing that despite their poor history there, that it might actually be winnable. Did you get a sense of a change . Changing political landscape after biden dropped out yeah, absolutely. I would say theres been just a lot more excitement in the state or from democrats at the local level we just had the governor tim Walz And Asheville and there was a lot of excitement around that and it just feels like the candidates are in North Carolina every week now. This is a really important state for him to win its 16 electoral votes and i think it feels very much like its an option for democrats yeah. And one of our analysts was saying that if if harris were to win North Carolina the chances of winning the election will be like something like 96 . So clearly, vital for democrats and for republicans as well well have to leave it there at lilly thank you so much for being here with us. Really appreciate it thank you well, Harris Campaigned friday in the battleground, state of wisconsin.

Well, i kim, we have to start with this update that weve gotten in the past hour or from the lebanese Health Ministry that strike in Southern Beirut suburbs in dahiyeh on that residential building that killed ibrahim aqil, the top Hezbollah Commander and 15 other members of hezbollah, including a senior commander, also killed and injured many civilians, as had been feared.

They are continuing to dig through the rubble. They have pulled they say, Body Parts on identifiable Body Parts, there are still people including children who are unaccounted for.
