Good morning. Great to have you with us. It is 10 00 eastern, 7 00 a. M. Pacific. Im Ana Cabrera reporting from New York. It is a busy day ahead in the race for the White House. Less than a week until the debate, and the rules for that face off still unsettled as the nominees and their running Mates Branch out in four different directions today. Former President Trump will be back in pennsylvania for a talk with Fox News ally. And Vice PresidentHarris Heads to New Hampshire. Our Garrett Haake is in washington tracking the Trump Campaign. Also with us, former Chief Strategist for the 2012 romney campaign, and former clinton adviser, richard goodstein. Yamiche, what will we hear from the Vice President this afternoon, and why New Hampshire . Reporter well, its a good question. Good morning, ana. The Vice President is here because she really wants to lean in on the economic messaging here. Of course, New Hampshire is not seen by many as a battleground state, but shes here because there are other offices that democrats want to be competitive in, including the governors office. Right now its held by a republican. Theyre hoping to retake that and make it a democratic state. Theyre also hoping to retain control of two congressional seats, and there are down ballot races. Shes hoping that coming here will reenergize people, but shes also rolling out a new economic proposal and i want to read to you part of the proposal. She wants to propose a tenfold expansion of the Tax Credit for starting a Small Business that would go from 5,000 to 50,000. Thats aimed, the campaign says, to meet the average 40,000 cost of starting a business. She also wants to simplify Tax Filings and ease local regulations, and shes setting the goal of having 25 Million new Small Businesses apply. Shes hoping that this will garner people and motivate people to start Small Businesses if this proposal becomes law. Those are some of the things shes going to be rolling out. Were going to hear from her this idea that she wants to be a president for all americans, and that includes people having access to the middle class, and having the freedom to have an Opportunity Economy that works for them. Were going to hear that in a few hours. Meantime, garrett, in pennsylvania, thats a state that both camps have been focused on. Is a Town Hall with his pal Sean Hannity an effective way to grow his appeal . Maybe not to grow his appeal to new voters but galvanize the people already supporting him. Hell be in harrisburg, pennsylvania, and ive covered several in that media market. Pennsylvania is the biggest, the most important swing state, so any excuse to be there is probably a good one. Also, given the Town Hall format, and who knows if the questions will be sort of overly friendly or not to Donald Trump, but a Town Hall can serve as kind of a Back Doorway to do Debate Prep for a candidate who doesnt like to do Debate Prep. And the problem for trump, i think, remains his ability to stay future focused, focused on Kamala Harris, and not so much focused on previous elections, including 2020 where, once again yesterday, he flirted with acknowledging that he actually lost the race before pivoting back to talk about his favorite subject, fraud. Lets listen to trump on a podcast interview yesterday. I became president , then the second time i got millions more votes than i got the first time. I was told if i got 63 million, which is what i got the first time, you would win, you cant not win. And i got millions more votes than that, and lost by a whisker. I think the election was a fraud, and many people felt it was that and they wanted answers. And when you Cant Challenge an election you have to be able to challenge it. Trump is correct that he got millions more votes in 2020 than 2016. The problem is that Joe Biden got millions more votes in 2020 than Donald Trump did. The other part of this, of course, his idea that you Cant Challenge an election is just false. Donald trump did challenge the election, there were recounts in multiple states. He filed dozens of court cases, all of which were rejected or thrown out for various reasons. The Bottom Line is still the Bottom Line. He lost in 2020 and every day he spends talking about it in 2024 its probably unhelpful to him in trying to win this time around. Garrett haake, and yamiche, Thank You for that reporting. Richard, lets talk about what Vice President harris is focus on this, this tax break, this plan, and juxtaposing it with Donald Trumps corporate tax breaks. How do you see that resonating with voters . Goldman sachs said this morning the trump plan, between the deportations and Tax Cuts and tariffs would increase inflatiOn And reduce gdp, whereas the Harris Plan would raise them. Moody says the same thing. The list goes On And on. Its not just democrats talking, these are independent experts. Look, shes trying to accelerate what really was a masterful accomplishment under biden, 5. 5 new Business Starts Last year. The last three years set records for new business starts. Shes just trying to expand on that. Trump, meanwhile, is talking about the tariffs which, again, will be very inflationary, and i think ultimately counterproductive in terms of appealing to the voters, if the whole idea is to talk about inflation. Shes talking about dealing with price gouging, hes going to increase tariffs up to 60 . In most polls the economy is still the top issue, so youve got to talk about it, talk to them on that issue specifically. We have some interesting new Battleground Polling out today from cnn. Stewart, georgia, nevada, Pennsylvania Neck in neck, harris ahead in wisconsin and michigan. Trump ahead in arizona. All of it within the margin of error. Whats really interesting, between 11 and 15 of voters in these key states say they could still change their minds. Does that surprise you . No, thats pretty typical. Unless youre a diehard for one candidate or not, you could change your mind, sure, why not. Americans like choices and like to wait up until the last minute to decide. What really strikes me about today is that one campaign is having an event that is centered on policy. You can talk about whether or not its good policy or bad policy. It looks very good to me. But what is trump . Its this Grievance Tour and its this lack of Messaging And Lack of policy that is at the core of the Trump Campaign. This mass deportations, i dont know how to break it to the trump people, this is not a popular thing. People do not want to line up millions and millions of buses and go around rounding up people who might be helping them in a business. Tariffs, they are not popular. You walk into a walmart and everything is going to cost 30 more. Really . Thats a good thing . So theres a kind of intellectual element to this, a Policy Element to it that really shows the failure of the republican party to come up with new policy. We once called it the party of new ideas. Substitute it for something that people care about. I think that that is increasingly going to become apparent in this campaign, because trump just keeps saying the same thing over and over and over. Theres also the question of how these campaigns are getting their messages and those Policy Ideas to the voters. Tim walz, we know, is in Pennsylvania Today and tomorrow, we mentioned how trump has his Town Hall in pennsylvania. The New York times reports the Harris Camp has opened its 50th Pennsylvania Office over labor day weekend, 16 of those 50 offices are actually in rural counties that trump won by double digits in 2020. Richard, what does this approach tell you . It tells you a lot. The fact is, trumps own people dont trust him. They want to mute the mic. They might as well put a Dog Collar on him and a Shock Collar because they dont trust him to talk to anybody other than the base, Sean Hannity. Whereas kamala is going into rural areas in georgia and elsewhere, opening these offices in very rural areas of pennsylvania. Theyre reaching out. Theyre trying to expand. Trump famously said, i dont need more votes. Hes kind of making it clear he really thinks hes going to have to find some way to rig things himself, or hes not going to have the votes. And he keeps spouting this nonsense, that has to be counterproductive in the Long Run for anybody who is undecided. So the arlington national Cemetery Dispute Hasnt faded for trump. Now john mccains son, jimmy, an army officer, said trumps episodes like this with veterans are what prompted him to register as a democrat. Watch. Arlington cemetery is sacred to all people who are members of the military, all people who have served in a uniform. Its a sacred area. Theres three generations of mccains buried there. Its a violation because these rules are set in place. The people buried there dont have an opinion. As much as i stayed as an independent, i decided that it was time to move On And do what i believe in. The fact of the matter, he said it constantly, country first. Thats john mccains son. Could this carry some weight in the important state of arizona . Yeah, of course it does. I think it carries beyond arizona. You know, this goes back to the moment that Donald Trumps campaign should have got, if the republican party had any sort of Decency Or Shame left, when he attacked john mccain, said that he liked War Heroes that werent captured. A lot of us when we heard that, we said 15, it was, we say, its over, hes finished. But he wasnt. And thats when i think a lot of us began to learn that the republican party we belong to was not the republican party we thought that we belonged to. That there was a great difference between what we said were values and what were actually being used as marketing slogans. I think this is a terrible issue for the Trump Campaign. On some level we know it, but inside that Trump Campaign you can never just let anything go. You have to always double down, because he isnt capable of making a mistake. So he does something like this that is offensive to the majority of people, Photo Ops in front of a grave in arlington cemetery, and he has to keep talking about it. And the one thing you can control in a campaign is what you talk about. Right. So you have the Harris Campaign talking about this plan to start new jobs, Small Businesses, and hes out here still talking about arlington cemetery. Thats not getting him any votes. Exactly what hes saying, youve got to Add Votes to win. He lost by 7 million. So when you talk about how its the candidates who keep going there, even his running mate, j. D. Vance, is saying this on fox last night, again, related to this issue of military support. Nobody wants to put on a uniform and serve in Kamala Harriss military. This is a person who wants the united States Army to be about gender, inclusion, ridiculous diversity politics instead of about serving your country and uniting together as americans to serve on the same team, and defend your nation. If youre a person thinking about joining the military, youre probably not going to want to sign up if Kamala Harris is the potential commander in chief. Richard, your reaction . I dont think the republicans want to have this debate. I mean, this trump, somebody who said they were suckers and losers, people who go into the military. He couldnt bring himself to get to that cemetery in france. He said that stds were his vietnam. He basically said that, no, Gold Medal, you know, they were shot or dead, they didnt qualify. A thumbs up in front of that grave. Who conducts themself like that . So, the notion that somehow thats appealing to people to go into the military is absurd, and i think that people, again, recognize that and i think across the board, thats just a very unappealing side. I dont think the Harris Campaign would mind having that debate. So, not a winning message, youre saying . Hardly. Richard goodstein, stewart stevens, Thank You for offering your insights.
