November 5th is still 54 days away but today voters started casting the first ballots of the 2024 election. Yesterday, Absentee Ballots went out in the state of alabama. Today we are seeing local news reports that people are already turning those ballots in. So, we are off to the races, people. Next week, wisconsin starts mailing out its Absentee Ballots in pennsylvania, minnesota, South Carolina and virginia, they all start in person early voting. Slowly but surely the rest of the states will follow. And what that means for this race is that the woundo to change voters minds is closing. Today, Donald Trump announced he will not have a second debate with Vice President harris. As everyone saw two nights ago we had a monumental victory over Kamala Harris in the president ial debate. Harris, though, said she and trump owe it to the voters to have another debate. Now, trump is explaining why he doesnt want another debate by saying, when a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, i want a rematch, and trumps claim that polls clearly show that i won the debate. For the record, one poll tells a very different story according to morning consult before the debate, harris was leading by three points within the margin of error, the day of the debate it widened to four points and after it widened to 5 points, but, yes, Donald Trump says he does not need another debate because how clearly he won the first and second ones. Because we have done two debates and they were successful there will be no third debate. It is too late, any way, voting has begun. At least one of those Points Trump is right. The voting has begun. And, it is about to begin in some of the states that are going to decide the election like pennsylvania which, again, starts early voting next week. Without anymore debates, how do you reach the voters before, as trump put it, it is too late in well, one way is through ads. Today, the Harris Campaign announced in the 24 hours after the debate, harris had her best Fundraising Day since the launch of her campaign. The campaign says it raised 47 Million in 24 hours. And that could help bolster them. Those ads will keep the memory of harrisvictory on the Debate Stage very much alive. The Harris Campaign announced it is going to release a series of ads highlights footage from the debate to get Harris Performance in front of as many voters as possible. Here is the latest one of the ads that the campaign released a few hours ago. I want to turn to the issue of abortion. For 52 years they have been trying to get roe v. Wade into the states. I did a great service in doing it. It took courage to do it and the Supreme Court had great courage in doing it. I talked with women around our country. You want to talk about this is what people wanted . Pregnant women, who want to carry a pregnancy to Term Suffering from a miscarriage, being denied care in an Emergency Room because their Health Care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she is bleeding out in a car in a parking lot. She didnt want that, her husband didnt want that. A 12 or 13yearold survivor of incest. Being forced to carrys pregnancy to term . They dont want that. I think the american people believe that certain freedoms in particular the freedom to make decisions about ones own body should not be made by the government. Im Kamala Harris and i approve this message. Beyond the ads they are planning Meet Swing State voters by doubling down on retail politics, today, tim walz was in michigan, second Gentleman Doug Emhoff did events in arizona and Vice President harris had two rallies in North Carolina. You might be thinking North Carolina . Democrats have not won North Carolina in a president ial election since Barack Obama in 2008 and they have not won it before then since Jimmy Carter in 1976. The Harris Campaign is making a Big Bet that North Carolina is in play this year. According to polling this week, harris is leading trump in North Carolina by three points, that is within the margin of error but still, three points, North Carolina. And an official with the Harris Campaign said the Harris Campaign set up 26 Field Offices across North Carolina and that since harris became the nominee more than 20,000 North Carolinians have signed up to volunteer for the campaign. So, again, i know we are 54 days out from November 5th. But the first ballots of 2024 election were cast today. This is a marathon but it is also a sprint. It is time to turn the page. [ cheers and applause ] turn the page. [ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic, optimistic about what we can do for our country together. I will always put country above party. From the courthouse to the white house, i have always fought for the people. Always fought for the people. [ cheers and applause ] North Carolina we have 54 days until Election Day. 54 days. And with your help we will win. We will win. [ cheers and applause ] win. We will win. [ cheers and applause ]. Joining me now is michael tyler, the Communication Director for the harriswalz campaign. I appreciate your time in advance. Let me first just ask about the second debate with Donald Trump for harris what trump is calling the third debate. Are you surprised that it is a if you remember no from the Trump Campaign given the fact that trump acknowledges the loser often wants a rematch . And do you think it is a firm no . Reporter listen, thank you for having me this evening. I am not certain that it is a firm no. Listen, Donald Trump also said for the first debate with the Vice President that he was happy with Unmuted Microphones but the team overruled hip. We will see if it happens again. The Vice President made it clear, she thinks the american people deserve to see, once again, what they saw on the Debate Stage on Tuesday Night, right . A very clear choice in this election and if it happens or if trump agreed to make it happen. We are discussing between now and the election we bring that same Split Screen to the voters where they are on the ground and on the airwaves, we will make sure every day between now and November 5th they understand the very clear choice in this election between the Voice President who is fighting for them, going to stand up and provide economy where people have the opportunity to get ahead instead of just get by. Contrast that with trumps disastrous economics. Make sure they understand Donald Trump is responsible for the horror playing out with Trump Abortion bans across this country and she is the leader that can get us out of this mess and restore roe. She will make sure on every issue the american people understand their choice in this election. I want to go back to a lot of that. But, just because you opened the door to maybe this not being a firm no on a second debate with trump are you guys still negotiating with the Trump Campaign on the terms of the debate or have they ended . No, listen we are open to having conversations about a second debate. We think the american people deserve to see that. We, we had a clear choice on the stage on Tuesday Night and we think that if Donald Trump is willing to do so, they should have another opportunity to do that. We areepter training it. Having coverings, we very much look forward to Debating Trump again in the month of october. We think that the american people deserve to see that before everybody has the opportunity to cast their ballots on November 5th. You bring up the Abortion Ad that we just played on the air. I wonder if you can talk a little bit about how the campaign is seeing the issue in terms of Driving Turnout and also, what you have been hearing from constituents about the things that trump said on that stage on Tuesday Night. Yeah. I think what a lot of voters heard Trump Say was that, what he has been saying at the maga rallies for months. Had not said it in front of a mainstream audience, a guy that takes credit for the role he played in overturning roe v. Wade. Playing a majority of the justices with roe, somebody that takes credit for these Trump Abortion bans that are playing out in 20 states across the country. The impact it is having beyond abortion, right in the threat that we have for Fertility Treatments in alabama, it is starting today and what they saw on the other side was, the Voice President who made very, very clear, a, who is responsible in Donald Trump. And, be, how do we get out of this. Restoring row. So women can make their own choices, fundamental issue of freedom in america. What we are hearing and seeing from voters across the country. This is not partisan. You see women and americans across the country understanding this. Our dials for example that we were running during the debate. This is a powerful moment. So, it is going to continue to be a resident issue with the voters and make sure they saw, that they continue to see the exchange that took place on the Debate Stage on tuesday. I am sure you are. Now, let me ask you, two events of North Carolina, people are scratching their heads and i am sure there are democrats out there worried about a more ambitious map, what do you say to people who are weary going beyond the Blue Wall States and having not one but two events in North Carolina. No, listen we have been clear about our path to victory from the beginning of this campaign. Inclusive of the Blue Wall States, michigan, pennsylvania, it is inclusive for the Sun Belt states, out west, nevada, arizona, southeast. Georgia, North Carolina. That is why i think the Vice President s travel coming off of the debate is reflective of that. In charlotte, greensboro and when we are going to the Battleground States we make sure we touch every part of the state, right . Tomorrow, we are not simply spending time in philadelphia and pittsburgh which we travel to often and will continue to do so. We are making sure we are tapping into other parts of the state. The democrats have not campaigned in. Same thing on the bus tour. We are proud it is the first democratic campaign in 30 years since Bill Clinton to campaign. We are going to do more of that tomorrow. Keep doing it in the weeks to come because this is, this is a margin of error race. That was the case before the debate. Thatll be the case after the debate. For us, margin of error is margin of effort. You will see harris, walz, kicking into high gear to communicate with every voter that will determine the pathway to the votes. Margin of error being turned into margin of effort. Okay. Michael tyler, Communications Director for the Harris Walz Campaign, thank you for your time, appreciate it thanks for having me. We got a lot more Coming Up tonight. Including the one issue that could decide the election according to the Polling Expert . Stay tuned to find out what it is.
