And Hurricane Francine Pound ing the southern coast of louisiana with heavy Rain And Wind as the window for thousands to get out has nearly slammed shut. The latest on the storm Coming Up and whether it could get worse before it gets better. Lots to get to on a wednesday. But today, theres no debate about the most important measure of the harris trump faceoff. Did it move undecided voters . Looking at the early analysis, the answer maybe found in three words.
