Lets get right to the Breaking News on the intensifying fight in president ial Battleground States Kamala Harris and her aides studying the newest polls and gaming out their strategy in the days ahead, Cnns Priscilla Alvarez presence covering the Harris Campaign for us. And cnns Danny Freeman is covering the Trump Campaign. Priscilla first to you, you have new reporting on what harris may do during her visit to arizona this week . Thats right. Well, sources are telling me that the Harris Campaign officials are weighing a potential visit to the u. S. Mexico border when the Vice President is set to visit arizona later this week, of course, this has been a political vulnerability for democrats and they have been trailing former president Donald Trump in the polls, but they see an opportunity an Opportunity Wolf to narrow the gap, try to close that gap with the former president on the issue of border security. Now some Campaign Officials remain concerned about that gap, but again, perhaps with his visit to arizona could tack on that Border Visit now, of course, no final decision has been made yet that according to a source the Vice President has previously visited the border as Vice President as well as senator of california and also Attorney General so while she has been on the trail, she has talked about her work as the Attorney General and Campaign Officials think she has a case to make, not only painting the former president as unserious on the border for tanking that bipartisan border bill, but also calling back to the work that she has done tackling transnational gangs and some of this weve had a preview on last week, for example, she also hammered the former president over his controversial immigration policies. So considerations underway on whether or not she goes to the border later this week, wolf. All right. Priscilla. Thank you. Priscilla alvarez reporting now to the Trump Campaign, the former president is focusing in on pennsylvania tonight, he is set to hold a rally in a rural area just northeast of pittsburgh cnns Danny Freeman is on the scene for us in indiana, pennsylvania. Danny, whats trumps message to voters in that important Battleground State Evening is the economy, the economy, the economy you noted that President Trump, former President Trump back here in Western Pennsylvania yeah. Notably, hes in westmoreland county. Hes been making his way up here to Indiana County where we are right now. These are two areas will of two counties that from President Trump one handily in both 2016 and 2020. So these are the kind of like you said, rural areas that he really needs to run up the margins in if he has a hope of winning the great commonwealth and sylvania. And we just finished up events and an event in smith and pennsylvania. Its about an Hour South of here focused on the economy, like i said, specifically, tariffs and that key part of his own economic plan, one of his, he said, at this Round Table Event with farmers, is that if elected president . He said, i dont need congress to enact some of his most extreme tariff proposals. Now, experts have told cnn that that may be true, but if he were to do that, if you were elected, that members of congress might try to wrestle away somewhere of that terrible policy but he also said appealing to some of these workers in pennsylvania that there are fears of europe not wanting products from this commonwealth. And we can expect more rhetoric like that coming likely later at his event tonight, starting at seven here in indiana, will im danny, i know one voter group, both Trump And Harris need to reach in pennsylvania is younger voters tell us about that the past few weeks ive had a chance to speak with young voters are crucial demographic and the electric all over the country. But of course, especially here in pennsylvania, i want you to take a listen to what some young voters in this allimportant state told tell me about the state of the race i was thinking, how can i convince some 18yearold fresh at the High School . Hey cousin, and to whole day talking to people you dont now over the phone for Joe Biden hard sell, the head of the University Of Pittsburgh at johns Towns College democrats got new life once president Joe Biden dropped out and Vice President Kamala Harris became the nominee. There wasnt a lot of passion going around. And you feel thats changed its definitely how are you feeling today im feeling a lot more comfortable up j senior Marianne Bangura says harris, his background in particular has energized younger voters. Im 22 22yearsold, and ive lived my entire life not seeing many people who looked like me or have a similar Hello Background as we who have done the job that i want to do, we are like doing well, but like we really need to like keep that energy and thats what im worried about in 2020, younger voters overwhelmingly supported biden over former president Donald Trump. But before biden dropped out, some polls showed trump making gains with this key demographic now, with harris at the top of the democratic ticket, there are signs younger voters are swinging back in her direction. I think she is helping young voters get out and for that, im grateful regardless of who you are voting for electric, janice is the Vice Chair of the Washington County Board of commissioners, a 28yearold republican voting for trump. She thinks that trump can keep the gains he made with younger voters when biden was still in the race, i will say when Im Voting for President Trump, im not voting for a person. Im voting for his policies, their Volunteer Base has grown and pennsylvania significantly. And i think what they need to do is get the young passionate, motivated individuals out there seeking other young individuals to do the same for the Trump Campaign is turning to people like steven kale. Did you ever expect to be working on a political campaign . I did not. The thirtythreeyearold Service Technician from Outside Pittsburgh was motivated to knock doors after he witnessed the former president gets shot at his Butler Rally in july when i saw that day i wanted to help out for kale. That means out Working Harris Volunteers and staying on message with younger voters as much as possible. I started off by talking about the economy theyre cost of living, especially if theyre in college, paying higher prices for gas, utilities. Do you want to thicker but on the University Of Pittsburgh main campus, young supporters of both candidates are now readying closing arguments to their peers. I dont know if thats necessarily doable against people extremely excited about trumps report, my age, but i do think its possible let me get people to understand that you dont have to like someone to vote for them youre out basically doing things every single day. Were just working on buildings, power, and on transforming a lot of enthusiasm the actual actionable signs perhaps that the Trump Campaign is trying to reenergize younger Voters Tonight is only the second the time that the Trump Campaign will have a rally on a College Campus in pennsylvania over the past several months. The first time he did that was just days before that crucial debate against president biden all right. Danny freeman, good report. Thank you very much. I want to get some more on all of this. Our political experts are joining us. Karen finney in an a new, New York Times poll of three key Sun Belt states, trump is leading harris in arizona to take a look at this 50 to 45 , any showing strength in both Georgia And North if carolina as well. But no clear leader in those in those states. The results being inside whats called the margin of error, right . These are states that harris has been hoping to do well in, is this a disappointment . What were seeing, at least in these latest polls . Actually wolf, i would say that it is an affirmation of what she has been saying all along. We democrats are the underdogs. Shes right about that. And i think, so much of the work that has to be done when we have been talking about this since frankly, the convention, all of that Joy And Energy and enthusiasm has to be he turned into people showing up at the polls to vote. And so that is something i know is the campaign is very focused on obviously in those key states. Actually its young black and brown. An asianamerican voters who will make up the difference in many of those states. And so having direct communications with those voters. And it was interesting to you woman who said are the gentlemen who said, you know, you dont like somebody to vote for them. Well, i think though, if you dont like them Pena Trust them and i think Vice President harris is able to make a very credible case both on the substance of her policies and the fact that she can be trusted to deliver sarah longwell. I know you speak to undecided voters in your various Folk Focus groups that you conduct out there. This is what the New York Times says about voters who have yet to completely make up their minds. And im quoting you know this group of voters had leaned toward Ms Harris in these states in august, but now leans slightly more toward mr. Trump why do you think that is . Well im, not exactly sure why it is. I do think that North Carolina was always a reach for democrats and i think the fact that Kamala Harris has been able to put that into the Battleground Column and make it really competitive was a testament to how much she changed this race the state thats the most interesting in these Sunbelt Polls to me is arizona. And i think that its really a good idea for her to go out there and visit the border, Get Go On offense more on the border. If theres a reason shes down five points in arizona, its because people are angry about the border. And i think shes going to have to distance herself from some of Joe Bidens policies and not just say, you know, Donald Trump scuttled that deal, the bipartisan deal, but also present her plan for what shes gonna do about the border. Shes talked about getting more funding and doing more about it to arizona should be a state that she can do well in Joe Biden won it in 2020. The democrats were able to win the gubernatorial race in 2022 because Kari Lake was such a catastrophic candidate. Kari lake is on the ballot again as a Senate Candidate, theres also an abortion valid initiatives thats going to be on the ballot in november. And so Kamala Harris should be working hard to compete there. Now, it should be noted, she continues to do better in in those more blue wall states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, and then nebraska, to which is what she needs to get to to 270. But certainly her campaign would be more comfortable if she was able to also have Nevada And Arizona in better places. Good point bryan lanza, whats your takeaway from these latest results listen to the wolf. Its a Jump Ball in the issues on our side, we need that we need to deliver a message for them has for next 42 pennsylvania and michigan, we need to demonstrate and to continue to demonstrate that there were the clear age, the change agent, but more importantly, when you talk about the economy thats why were benefited in these states is people are still apprehensive about Kamala Harris and theyre confident that trump economy. So those are the messages were going to hit. Immigration is a big thing. I think showing up to the border, this latest very insincere and it just lacked credibility with harris when you consider the fact that she was a sanctuary da in san francisco, when you consider the fact that just recently a video is released today where she talked about down down with deportations in los angeles. When you talk about the fact that she at one point, i guess in some questionnaire talked about defunding ice so when it comes to the border, conway has no credibility, even if she shows up a dozen times between now november ryan mountains as a Senior Adviser to the trump 2024 campaign. Sarah, let me get back to you. Kamala harris accepted as you know, Cnns Invitation to Debate Trump on October 23 this is what trump says about another debate. Listen to this everybody is voting now and its very late to be doing debates but once the election starts and it started is a very bad thing to be doing a debate in the middle of the Vote Counting and this would really be late into the election. So i think it would be a very bad thing. I think it would actually be bad thing for the Country But Sara look at this back 2020, the final debate took place on october 22, just 12 days before the election whereas the proposed Cnn Debate would take place 13 days before the big day. So what do you make of trumps saying its too late to debate . I mean, i think that the debate for Donald Trump was catastrophic and Kamala Harris just really demonstrated both her prowess as a debater, as a prosecutor. She was able to go on offense he came out looking terrible. We ran a number of focus groups. Weve had lots of folks his group subsequently, since the debate, nobody thinks he won the debate. It really moved the needle in her direction with a lot of these Swing Voters and so i think that the only way that Donald Trump debates again, is if he sort of the bottom falls out of his campaign and theyre just desperate for him to do something to try change the dynamic. But i think right now where it looks a little closer, hes too afraid to get back in the ring with her and afraid that it could do more damage to his campaign. Bryan, this is truck really going to let his running mate, senator j. D. Vance, get the final word from a Debate Stage in this race . Yes. I mean, if you look at the first debate on your network, we did a good debate. We won the second debate is questionable. People who have their own opinions. But at the end of the day, what weve noticed from the debates, at least with prejudice is it an trump . Does that isnt get a fair shake. You have moderators who inject themselves. You have them sort of fact and even people on this network have talked about how the last debate was not sort of fairing in for, for President Trumps. So at this point, why would we subject ourselves to another imbalanced debate . Lets let the voters decide and will make her case to the voters every day. And so well j. D. Vance as you know trump said to Cnn Debate was very fair and he was very pleased with the results. He sure did thats what he said yes. All right. Guys. Everybody standby. Thank you very, very much.
