The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle starts now. Tonight, the final sprint to Election Day, the first mail in ballots go out this week as the Trump Campaign plans to ramp up attacks on Vice President harris. Why some republicans want him to stop the personal insults. Plus, where the polling stands just nine weeks out in this tight race. We have experts standing by. DemocratS Put reproductive Freedom Front and center in florida. What voters there are saying about it is the 11th Hour gets underway on this Tuesday Night. Good evening. Once again, i am Stephanie Ruhle. It is great to be back with you because we are now just 63 days away from the Election Day , but just three days away from the first ballots going out. North carolina starts sending out mailin ballots this friday and early voting in the crucial State Of Pennsylvania starts in less than two weeks and right now, political insiders are using words like dogfight to describe the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump. Recent polls show harris with a narrow lead on trunk nationally, and the race is even tighter in key Battleground States, the ones that decided all her polls are showing a virtual tie in many of them. At thiS Point, republicans are going all in on one strategy, to bring down harris instead of trying to prove their Candidates Likability with voters and remember, that key debate is one week away from tonight. My colleague has a closer look at where the race stands. Reporter tonight, the final stretch of the 2024 president ial race is underway. Vice president harris is set to return to Panel Pennsylvania on thursday campaigning with President Biden there just yesterday. Donald trump is trying to pull us backward including back to a time before workers have the freedom to organize. Reporter former President Trump will be in the State Tomorrow after holding a rally there just days ago, blasting harris for changing her position and now opposing a fracking band, a Key Industry in pennsylvania. The people of pennsylvania are smart. Hmmm reporter later in the week he will head to wisconsin in North Carolina. The first General Election ballots will be mailed out this friday and a razor thin race. She has a backbone like a ramrod. She has a moral compass of a saint. This woman knows what shes doing. Today the former president of the trail but on the attack. I dont know how people can vote for somebody that is destroying our country. The inflation, the bad economy but to me and away the worst is what theyve allowed to happen near our border. The next major milestone in the race, next weeks debased debate. The Harris Campaign Official tells her she will continue Debate Prep in pittsburgh while former congresswoman Too Gabbard is helping Trump Sharpen Policy Attacks but Tonight Harris Team is still calling for a change to the rules. During the last debated a request by the Biden Campaign mics were muted to prevent interruptions. Now, the Harris Team wants the mikes unmuted at all times. Its going to be a show but lets get smarter now with the help of our leadoff panel. Ive been out for weeks, ive got to get educated. Susan gloster is here. Dave weitzel joins us and aaron haynes, editor at large and msnbc political contributor. People are Plugging In post Labor Day. I am one of those people. We are two months out and it seems more and more likely that this is going to be very close until The End. What can you tell us . We are all Plugging In, but the good news, as you said, is that it is a short sprint to the finish line. In many ways this will be the shortest general Election Campaign any of us can remember. American campaigns of been getting longer and longer but because of this years unprecedented event in the summer at least it will be a short campaign. The truth is that the map is still the map and democrats have changed their candidate, but what they have not really changed is the battleground. They have brought some states back in the play that looked distant for Joe Biden but they were states he won in 2020 and now essentially we are looking at the same six or seven competitive states that are the competitive states in 2020. Those are the states that are going to decide it once again. Im really struck by the fact that the polls essentially have not changed very much since The End of the convention. Right now harris is leading trump as the previous two democratic predecessors Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton or leading trump at Labor Day but they ended up finishing the race with a much tighter margin than the margin that they had on Labor Day so i think that is why everyone is anticipating its going to be another too close to call finish for the selection. Dave, what are you saying across the country both in the president ial race but also the race for control of congress . Yes. Im in North Carolina right now for the race for governor is not the race for congress but it looks quite a lot like 2022 with the addition of trump voters to turn out so we have not seen any deterioration in the democratic position since harris joined the ticket certainly and you are seeing the world organizing for trump in reaching out to voters who are not engaged in 2020, maybe were never engaged before podcasting, things like that. He has never run against a candidate who is able to draw enormous crowds. It actually has not been an issue for him before. [ inaudible ] hes also got an opponent who is gotten more popular since entering the race. The Vice President has favorable ratings and you do see that if you go around the country where people were funding for Joe Biden but were not engaged there, democratic enthusiasm has turned around. Donald trump is not really talking policy or plans. I came back thinking, lets go headtohead and show her platform versus his but really, he has spent the last two weeks just going after her trying to drag down vp harris. What do you make of the way she and her campaign have dealt with the attack so far and how its going over with voters, undecided voters specifically . I think what we have seen is Vice President harris brushing those attacks aside and dismissing them as a distraction while she continues to lay out her vision for middleclass americans and also continues to draw a contrast between herself and former President Trump. Even though this is a short campaign season, she is still trying to introduce herself to the american people but this is also a very long election season. There is no such thing anymore. Its just Election Day. As you said, those early ballots are going out, so she is out there. She has this reproductive Freedom Bus Tour happening in florida this week as she gets ready to go into this debate or she continues to make the case against Donald Trump but his campaign certainly wishes he would be speaking to issues like immigration which we know is an issue that americans care about, like the economy, like fracking which is an issue to voters in places like pennsylvania and yet that is not what he is talking about. Hes continuing to go to thiS Playbook of Racist And Misogynist tropes that frankly are not really lending on Vice President harris because she simply not entertaining them. Lets talk about the debate. What is this fight theyre having about open mics versus closed mics . This is a good example of be careful what you wish for. I think the Biden Campaign found out, to their Detriment Back in june, that actually providing guardrails for trump that were enforced is not necessarily a good thing if your goal in the campaign is to show Donald Trump unhinged and then dont provide the means of locking him in. That is what happened. The Harris Campaign, learning from that biden experience in june is now saying let Donald Trump, if he wants to make a fool of himself on national television lets make sure he can go ahead and do that and i think they are banking on the idea that Donald Trump cannot control himself, that Donald Trump will come across as mean, nasty, berating and even possibly outofcontrol in the way many people think he was in the first debate with Joe Biden back in 2020 so that is the argument they are having right now and more broadly, it speaks to probably the mindset of harris and her campaign going into this important debate next week which is that they need to somehow make sure that it is Donald Trump and his behavior and his fitness for office that somehow is the center of attention in this debate. Joe biden of course was at the center of attention in the first debate and it ended up taking his campaign but now they want the scrutiny to be on trump in his fitness for office and i think she will be focused on doing that, not just with the rules on the microphones, but how can she poke and prod at Donald Trump in the effort to show him to voters is out of control . I do expect that is what you will see from the Vice President in the debate. The former president went on a Podcast Today and spoke about what he considers to be his debating prowess. Watching this bit. Ive done a lot of debating. [ inaudible ] my first debate was the rosie odonnell debate, the famous rosie odonnell debate. But ive done well with debates. I mean, i became president. What are your thoughts on his assessment of his debating skills, aaron . I think he has been somebody who has had success or at least come across as the victor in previous debates and i think that Vice President harris is certainly remembering the 2016 debate when he was literally stalking Hillary Clinton on stage and she even described that behavior as weird even then, right . But i think what we have seen Playing Out, especially on Social Media is the Vice President clearly getting under former President Trumps skin as he has been posting on prosocial about her anything for them, if that is a dynamic voters can see Playing Out in real time on a Debate Stage then that is a victory, as well as whatever points that she can get across in terms of the policy she iS Planning to implement should she be elected president but in terms of the tactics that he has used in prior debates its unclear if our weather is going to be able to be successful against Vice President harris in that setting because up to thiS Point he really has not figured out a strategy for how to deal with her as an opponent. Dave, it may be a very short sprint but it is not stopping at the candidate from spending. Both sides are spit set to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in the next few weeks. Does any of that change votes in Ad Spending . Its good to be saying this because from the Trunk Campaign from related attacks the republican messaging has been about crimes, the names of victims of crimes blamed on Kamala Harris policies as District Attorney or the Border Policy of the biden administration. Democratic messaging is entirely about spending and inflation. They are really talking past each other when they have the money to go on the air and another child here is that democrats are vastly outspending republicans in a couple of states. North carolina right now, and wisconsin you can see republicans have made a large bet on pennsylvania with that kind of messaging. This is messaging that worked in the state before. It almost worked against Joe Biden who had Closer Richard and Kamala Harris does but its actually true on the ground. The Conversation Trump House is a podcaster may change from day to day. He may veer into whatever topic is on his mind, reminisce about 2016. All money is going into advertising trying to drive down impressions of harris before voters take a good look at him. People there actually telling you . You are in North Carolina and we know what the candidates and their campaigns are saying on the airwaves. What are voters telling you . There actually is some joy [ inaudible ] but really talked to democrats two months ago, talk to them today confirming that democrats are unenthusiastic On Biden and enthusiastic on harris. People are also essentially worried about trump coming back in the office. Again talked to a sample of voters who were out to hear a democrat very worried about rights banishing, very worried about lgbt rights banishing, abortion been banned in North Carolina where theres a conservative candidate for governor who has said he wants to shorten a 12 Week Band and with republicans ive talked to Voters Today [ inaudible ] the last election that communism could be on the way [ inaudible ] and that she might be radically leftwing and drive the country into a depression. Ive heard thiS Previous cycles with republican voters but it was such a calm her mood a month ago when they were confident Joe Biden was going to be a nominee and a lot more panic ive heard in Panic And Fear [ inaudible ] immediately of harris wins for republicans. None of that panic is rooted in truth. These are Conspiracy Theories being pushed by far right groups, none of which has any connection to the truth. And there are some specific things that conservative voters ive talked to, yes, they worry that it will happen because theyve heard about it happening somewhere else. Whether that is connected to reality [ inaudible ] Donald Trump was talking about gender policies in schools, Gender Visibility and schools and what he was framing is that kids go to school and come home with a gender operation. Thats not what is happening and that is an example of the fear i do hear from republicans on the Ground Organizing and what is motivating them to come out. They really thought the election was going away, that they felt confident about is going toward someone they do not do very well in Kamala Harris. In many ways they are often very false [ inaudible ] spreading about the Vice President today on Social Media that i saw before the story. By the time i saw the been debunking it had been shared by 1 Million times for there is a lot of disinformation. The Trunk Campaign is again when a House Money focusing officially on her actual record on crime, expanding her role in various criminal policies to blame basically all crime on her but under the surface i am detecting more worries about harris that are not based in reality. Well, perhaps those republican voters should be most worried about the republican campaigns that are lying to them. Susan, dave, aaron. Thank you for starting us off tonight. Before we go to break, i want to check in on trump media stop. I was not here last week but i was watching it. Dj t, trumps Media Company closed the day down more than 7 . Zooming out of it, it is down more than 60 over the last three months. At one Point Today the stock dipped below 18 for the first time since it began publicly trading. We are now of course just weeks away from Donald Trump being able to cash in on his nearly 59 stake in the company, the company that essentially does nothing but provide a blank slate for him to Social Media post, the agreement to hold off on selling will expire later this month as the president ial race is in its final stages. As of today, Donald Trump stock, despite it being down 60 , is currently worth more than 2 billion, so many people to consider this to be the most extraordinary workaround of a Campaign Contribution to one Donald Trump and if you sell it and you take a loss, guess what. You can write it off. And it was not just a bad day for dj tea. It was a rough day across the dow, the nasdaq and the S P all having the worst day in nearly a month. Wall street will be keeping a very close eye on the new jobs report coming out friday morning. We will be watching that, as well as trump Media Stock Everyday here because we want you to know what is really going on. When we come back with Labor Day behind us, it is a mad dash to Election Day in the polls show a path to victory for harris but could also be showing one for trump.

Labor Day marks the Labor Day marks the unofficial final stretch for president ial campaign and right now these candidates are Neck And Neck in a few key states. Mcauley my colleague breaks down the path for each candidate. Nationally we are seeing the average of the polls nationally, Kamala Harris with a Threepoint Advantage over Donald Trump. You can look at this a few ways. From the democratic perspective certainly they are happy to be ahead and happy that this is an improvement for them from where Joe Biden was basically trailing trump in the polling all year. From a republican standpoint though they can take solace in the fact that Donald Trump is no stranger to being in thiS Position at Labor Day. In fact this Threepoint Gap that he has right now is better for him than it was in 2016 when he ran against Hillary Clinton he trailed by five. From harriS Perspective the most efficient way for her to get to 270 again all sorts of possible paths on here but when you look at State Polling right now the first thing you can say is all of it is close, a lot of it very close. Democrats are doing a little bit better in the Great Lake States of wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania so if harris were able to carry those three states, all of them went for biden in 2020 and just for the sake of argument if you turn the blue now you see what it does, it would bring harris to exactly 270 electoral votes. If she starts using the states she needs to compensate for in some of the Sun Belt states, and particularly, one of the three the Trunk Campaign is investing the have ableist in. Pennsylvania. From Harris Standpoint because pennsylvania is the largest of the Swing States it would take two states from the Sun Belt for harris to make up for the loss of one pennsylvania but also if trump were to get pennsylvania, that would open up for him what is his simplest, cleanest most efficient path to 270. It would simply be this. Get pennsylvania, Hold On to North Carolina. This is the only one in the Core Battle Ground States Court Trump carried in 2020 and then georgia went for biden but just under 12,000 votes in 2020. Had gone for trump in 2016. If trump can win georgia back withholding on the carolina and flipping pennsylvania suddenly it is trump who has 270 electoral votes. Lets dig in. I want to bring in director of polling at Harvard Kennedy School Institute Of Politics and msnbc political Contributor And Mark is here Msnbc News senior political editor. Mark, polls give us just a snapshot, a snapshot in time and polling is showing that harris is narrowly leading trump within the margin of error. Where do you see the race standing right now . Two words. One, this is a changed race but it is also a close race, the change being that this is a dramatic transformation in the contest we saw before that debate to happen with Joe Biden even in the Debate Aftermath where it was Donald Trump who was slightly ahead within the margin of error in key Battleground States and nationally. Now, it is Kamala Harris who has the advantage although within the margin of error in many of the battlegrounds in many of the national polls but as you also pointed out this is a really close contest and when steve was showing that the national averages and the padding Kamala Harris at 48 and trump at 45 you know, just the three Point Polling Error occurred completely change the race like we saw in 2016 and 2020. Its important to know there could be a Polling Error in Kamala Harris direction for a threepoint national average in the polls goes to six points and i think the best advice i end up having is that the polls kind of give us a good barometer for the races, but they cant be precise. They are not precise instruments to tell us kind of where the races. John, the convention was clearly exciting and people talk about the Convention Baskets but is there a bounce when it comes to undecided or disengaged voters . To me, the convention is like a super event for super fans. Those super fans talk to other friends and neighbors and friends. To our all already voting. Not necessarily because we all have Family Members who may be Fence Sitters but lets Take A Look at the overall trend. What we are seeing is, as steve said, theres a 3 advantage right now for harris but thats about a seven Point Shift over the course of the last seven weeks, about a month, six weeks ago, Kamala Harris was trailing, democrats were trailing Donald Trump bite three or four points. Now shes up by three or four points. That is a seven Point Shift in the average balance over the last three Convention Cycles is about 1. 5 points. There was no balance in 2020. In 2016, one or two. Bounce and in 2012 i think Mitt Romney had a 1 Point Deficit after his convention so this is not the era of the 80s and early 90s when there were double Digit Convention bounces. When i looked at the data i found Donald Trump had a 1. 3 bounce that he quickly lost. Kamala harris had a 1. 8 , two. Point bounce. She has continued. Trump lost his but she has continued to build upon that which makes Tuesday Night so incredibly important. Can she continue and goose that bounce a little bit more and continue to build her margin . She is building on the bounce but her campaign still markets its staff as an underdog in this race. What does that tell you, they dont want to take anything for granted . Yes. One, its always better to be the underdog in the favorite in our politics and even when it comes to sports, but the other thing i really find striking about Kamala Harris position right now is that even though she is the sitting Vice President she is running as the Change Agent and weve actually seen polling that shows her doing so much better right now than Joe Biden on the economy, on the border, issues that really end up becoming very problematic for Joe Biden and its almost as if she is not serving in his administration so in some ways she is getting a honeymoon after the switch from Joe Biden to her but im still going to end up seeing if she continues to be this Change Agent in the race. She is not the incumbent, but if you have problems with the economy, with the border maybe you are blaming Joe Biden but not her and to me that really is fascinating and a really big development in this race. A Change Agent should be a big win for young voters and that is what you focus on and when you were here 10 weeks ago we talked all about the double haters who are not inspired by President Biden or former President Trump. Are we now see in an uptick in new Voter Registration . We are and roughly double the pace we suck at thiS Point in the 2020 cycle and of course most of those, majority of those are younger voters and stephanie, lets remember the five states focused on were won by Joe Biden. They flipped from red to blue and 2020 based on the Youth Vote. Donald trump republicans routinely win the votes of everybody over the age of 45 in this country. For Kamala Harris to win she needs to win the Youth Vote. She needs to win it convincingly and push that marginal close to 60 . As there divide in the Youth Vote between young men and young women . We think about the Youth Vote is just this One Group but look at Donald Trump. He just did a Sitdown Interview and people thought it was absurd. It was ridiculous, but with a hugely popular Podcaster Comedian Theo Vann who really resonates with young males shes got dana white, hes got Hulk Hogan in the Wwe Universe so do you see any of that show up in polling or is it just a small group of white young men . Listen, when i started there was virtually no Gender Gap among young people. In the two obama elections for example he won 56 both young men and women. To date, the youth Gender Gap is close to 50 points. It is a divide driven by younger men, so these are the 18 to 24 firsttime voters who were introduced to Donald Trump a decade ago when they were in Middle School and they thought of him that is the villain that along a lot of young people thought of him when he was introduced coming down the escalator. Instead they thought of him as an antihero, someone who could be there version is a 12 or 13 yearold of what it might be what it might be to be masculine. They turk take that intern into High School Adolescents and this is been echoed through podcasters, through their Gaming Community and now we see the Truck Campaign Spending tens of millions of dollars that you and i probably are not seen on our Social Media feeds communicating to younger people that government doesnt work, that it is all a conspiracy, its all about the cult of personality and that is driving a significant part of this younger male Youth Vote and it is a schism not just with younger women but also with older younger voters between an 18yearold and a 28yearold, they have very different views of who theyre going to vote for. If the Kamala Harris campaign is to win she needs to reach the cinnamon because she cannot win this election if she is 10 points in the water with young boys. She just cant do it. Very interesting, john. Always good to see you. Mark, thank you so much. When we return, James Carville has some advice for vp harris, how he thinks she can boost her chances of winning in november when the 11th Hour continues. Points in the water with young boys.

Our friend James Carville is out our friend James Carville is out with a new Peace Offering Vice President harris advice on how to defeat former President Trump. He says quote, 2024 will be won by who was fresh and who is rotten. It is quite simple. The shepherd of tomorrow wins the sheep. Carville is suggesting Harris Focus on her new way forward. Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is encouraging trump to do something he is absolutely not doing, stay away from personal attacks and focus on his record. I guess trump never speaks to Lindsey Graham because he is certainly not doing that. Joining us now, former Lieutenant Governor of wisconsin barnes, now senior fellow at people for the american Way And Mark mckinnon, former adviser to george w bush. What do you think of james Carvilles Advice . Look forward. What do you think about what Lindsey Graham is saying . I think its good advice from both of them. I did my first campaign with carville 40 years ago and ive learned more from carville than anybody else ive worked with in politics. At 80, he is still really good and hes not running for president but can still be a good consultant. The thing i think that is smart that he said is that it has been a mistake for democrats to constantly talk about how dangerous trump is because that just feeds his superpower. That makes him bigger. What james is saying is laugh at him and that diminishes him. Just make fun of him. Make him weird. That whole thing is really working, i think, and i think there is a lot of value in that. He also makes it very clear that the challenge for harris is that she is incumbent but she has to be the Change Candidate. Thats tricky. Very tricky. She is in the position of saying its time for a change, stay the course, you know, because she is the incumbent Vice President but i think shes done a pretty artful job so far separating herself from Biden Respectfully but coming out with new policies and forging her own way. The whole Freedom Agenda Kind of separates her from the Democracy Agenda which again i think is really smart so i think shes doing a good job of it. What do you think . I think shes absolutely right and Donald Trump has been getting embarrassed over and over again ever since Kamala Harris became the nominee because there is such a distinction between the two candidates. His biggest jabs at Joe Biden dont work with Kamala Harris and he is having a hard time trying to figure out what lines he can and cannot cross, lines he has typically crossed before. It seems as if folks like Lindsey Graham are cautioning him to stay away from them. Well see how long that lasts. A lot of folks are waiting to see the debate to see how far he will take it but as has been demonstrated over the last month, the farther he goes, the farther people are going away from him, embracing Kamala Harris because of the freshness that was just talked about by James Carville. Its very evident who is fresh and who was stale, who folks want to go with for a new direction for this country and to they know will take them backwards, which is Donald Trump. Can we go back to what you last said, mark, that she is out there coming out with new policies and presenting them almost everyday. Does she have to do that . Is it a good idea because Donald Trump does not show any policies . It is, because she needs to show separation from biden and that is what a smart and that is what james is saying, that she has to be the Change Candidate separate from biden. There are a lot of people that are going to blame her for the bite of a policy she waS Part of as Vice President so she needs to forge her own path and say will listen, i work for President Biden. Im proud of the policies we put in place but people also want to know that she has her own ideas, that she is not just second to biden, that she has her own ideas and that iS Part of the wrapper the republicans are trying to lay on her, that she doesnt have her own ideas so i think its very smart, its a good idea. The Harris Campaign and the dnc are also about to send an unprecedented amount of money on Down Ballot races, something like 25 Million and you are actually hearing republicans in house and in the senate starting to panic about the spending gap. Do you think democrats really have a shot . I mean, as the guy who spent about 100 Million in 2004 on television ive seen a Campaign Waste a lot of money. I dont think Television Advertising helps a lot so thats why its smart to do that money and do something else with it, put it on Down Ballot races, put it in Voter Registration. That is where i think the real difference is going to be on the ground, Voter Registration and new voters is what is going to make a difference and the difference being reported is that democrats are paying people to do it in trump has volunteers doing it and i think that will make a difference in The End. Wouldve you been hearing from people in wisconsin, do you think the democrats have a chance of taking the house in the senate . I certainly do and i think there is this thing about reverse coattails we should be cognizant of, the money going to Down Ballot races. I think about how many folks, not just congressional races that are contested but also legislative races who are just so amazing It Messaging but dont always have the resources to get their messages out there effectively so we can prop up those campaigns. If we can activate those Volunteer Bases and also the staff that they have on the ground hearing the message for those individual count candidates are also able to carry water for the entire party it will do us all a great deal and ultimately help Kamala Harris into the presidency. I just left a group of young folks in madison, wisconsin earlier today and it was a crowd about 50, 60 young people and these were folks who were just coming to campus. This is the first couple days on campus and what are they immediately doing . Theyre showing up to get activated to show out full force this campaign. Two years ago this country wisconsin had the highest turnout in the entire country of these are young people keen on keeping that title in thiS President ial cycle. First day on campus and they are registering to vote. Those are different kind of College Students than i was one once. 1984 we did the Senate Race in one upset primary and so after the primary, we moved from the headquarters to a separate building because james was scaring the interns so badly. I believe it. Is a maniac. He is a special beloved maniac. Great to see you. Thank you.
