Kasie hunt next september 20. Right now On Cnn this morning. Slim margins, Kamala Harris gaining momentum but the most pivotal states remain deadlocked me on the Debate Stage. Lets have another debate. The problem with another debate is that its just too late. Debate challenge Kamala Harris accepts Cnns Debate Invitation why Donald Trump is still saying no to a rematch there has been incredibly exciting newfound energy for the Harriswalz Campaign here in North Carolina Carolina so on the mind, can the Harris Campaign sees the controversy surrounding the Gops Nominee for governor in the Tar Heel State on the East Coast well, ive looked at Capitol Hill on this monday morning. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us. We are 43 days away from Election Day, and possibly 31 days from another president ial debate over the weekend, Vice PresidentKamala Harris agreed to terms with cnn for another debate against Donald Trump. It would be on October 23 in atlanta. But now its up to Donald Trump to agree as Well Something that he seems resistant to at this very moment one me on the Debate Stage with seven other debate is more to talk about and the voters of america deserve here the conversations that i think we should be having on substance, on issues on policies, whats your plan was my plan and we should have the one before Election Day the problem with another debate is that its just too late. Voting has already started. Shes done one debate ive done two. Its too late to do another. Id love to in many ways, but its too late. The voting is cast of voters are out there immediately harris is searching for another debate just as her campaign, is seeing some more momentum in newly released postdebate polling, according to Cnns Poll of polls, harrills, harris has a Tt Edge nationally. Thats officially still no clear leader. But there does seem to be clear movement after five postdebate polls were added the cnn average, three of them have harris leading outside the margin of error. This shift in national polling comes as North Carolinas seems to be coming more online into play as a scandal continues to surround the republican nominee for Governor Mark Robinson on several on sunday, several of Mark Robinsons top aides, including his Campaign And Deputy campaign managers resigned after that Bombshell Cnn Report exposed Robinsons History of dozens of disturbing comments, including calling himself, quote, A Black Nazi on a Porn Site more than a decade ago, some harris allies believed that adding North Carolina two or column could secure would secure her path to victory im not sure the impact that it will have at the top line, but it would be wonderful and almost Ball Game if harris wins North Carolina, but shes made North Carolina headed of already. And then after robinson now, its were in the best possible situation to win all right. Joining us now to talk about this as michelle price, national political reporter for the associated press. Michelle, good morning. Thank you so much for being here. The bottom line, it seemed like good news through the weekend and for the Harris Team, certainly, no single poll is something that we want to hang. Everything on. But i will say when, when they saw the nbc numbers i definitely heard there were there were there were some excitement about that. And it seems as though for right right now, they think that things are moving in the right direction. What are you hearing from your sources about where this race stands . I mean, this is an incredibly close race. This is one of the closest races weve had in decades. Theres no question it seems now that the Vice President got a little bit of a boost out of that strong debate performance. And thats clearly why shes asking for another one. And thats the same reason why were seeing Donald Trump be very hesitant to have another debate. It didnt go well for him. This race is incredibly tight. Voting has started, and anything small that can move the margins could make or break this race, including questions about Mark Robinson in North Carolina, a state where they were feeling much more confident weeks ago. And this was a state where they were they were feeling so assured that that the Trump Campaign was looking at expansion states now, they have doubled back and theyre really focusing on some of these swingiest of Swing States youll, lets talk about North Carolina for a second because of course, the continued fallout from what happened with this Cnn Reporting what weve learned about the gubernatorial nominee there, Mark Robinson, the question of course, really is this going to affect things at the top of the ticket and republicans, i talked to will point to evidence that in the past there has been a divergence from there who north carolinians were voting for, for governor versus who theyve been willing to vote for. At the top of the ticket, what are you hearing from your sources on how much of an impact this may have . I mean, again, in an incredibly close race, every little thing, especially at the margins can make or break array. So its, its clearly something think that the Trump Campaign is nervous about you noticed this on saturday when Donald Trump was in North Carolina, he did not mention Mark Robinson. This is somebody the who hed had on stage before he has praised him before. Hes endorsed and theyve endorsed each other. So its a clear sign of some distancing and some concern there you know, the republicans, are right, that this is a state where theyve if elected democratic governors before, but Donald Trump has won the state. Its not necessarily what we call a reverse coattails but it could, you know, the comments that Mark Robinson has made, some of those were already out there and offensive comments long before this latest Cnn Report, but they could be motivating enough that they could turn out people who might have decided to stay home and that would be the concern and the difference this time is that Donald Trump had been linked to this man. He did endorsed him, but hed also endorsed him again after a record, some of these comments that were seen as very offensive, some things on Abortion And Race even before this Blockbuster Report you know, talked to democrats who are from the south in particular, they they were saying things like what you point out. Well, before this Cnn Report that he was already pulling in a place where they felt like the Harris Team was in a much stronger position than maybe a lot of people had realized. Michelle price. Thank you for starting us off this morning. I really appreciate it. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me all right. Up ahead now, On Cnn this morning extensive strikes in lebanon as israel issues a warning to civilians to leave parts of the country plus the House Speaker lays out his plans to try to avoid a Government Shutdown as the months and deadline quickly approaches.

East reaching a Boiling Point over the weekend, Israel And Hezbollah involved in the most extensive, intense exchange of fire since the war in gaza began nearly a year ago and just this morning, the Israeli Military urging lebanese civilians to leave areas in which hezbollah operates as they begin to launch extensive precise strikes against the militant group across the country. This latest escalation happening just days after thousands of deadly blasts rocked lebanon as pagers and walkietalkies held by hezbollah militants bloated across the country. Cnn learned that israel was behind the attack all of this Raising Concern about the possibility of a fullscale war in the region we dont believe that a Military Conflict and were saying this directly to our israeli counterparts, george, we dont believe that escalating his Military Conflict is in their best interests. Its certainly not going to be in the best interests of all those people. That prime Minister Netanyahu says he wants to be able to send back home international anchor Max Foster. Max, good morning to you. Always good to see you. Very concerning signs here about this conflict potentially widening. What do we know this morning . I think the key thing is these messages, these Phone Messages that citizens in beirut have received telling him to evacuate these areas where israel believes hezbollah has strongholds. Thats the first time weve seen that previously the attacks have been on military positions, but now clearly they are targeting areas, areas where there are civilians. So were starting to look at the potential of civilian, civilian casualties here. Yeah if israel goes ahead with these strikes and the civilians dont evacuate, so it does take a completely different twists this tension this escalation between hezbollah and israel, i think it takes a very different tone. Wait to see how people respond to this but certainly theres going to it does feel as if things are really ramping Up Max For max, can you explain what Benjamin Netanyahu is . Looking at when he is considering his options here, militarily but also politically, at home in israel. And then we have also talked quite a bit over the course of this war about the challenges of having both the Front And Lebanon as well as the war in gaza ongoing. The military, the israeli the military has been stretched out rather thin as this conflict is heading towards the one year mark. How does that impact what were seeing well, the shift is resources from gaza up to the northern border with lebanon. They feel clearly that they do have the resources to carry out their mission Benjamin Netanyahu is talking about his determination to allow Israelis Whove had to move away from Northern Israel to move back into those areas. He needs to make it safe. So thats why hes carrying out this mission. Against hezbollah. Because as you know, ever since the war with hamas began, there have been constant tensions across the border between Israel And Hezbollah. And he wants to end that effectively, but he feels he has the resources. But there are two separate conflicts essentially. But in excreted inextricably linked because iran Ba
