The first faceoff between Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump has democrats celebrating. Harris threw him off his Game And Trump repeatedly took the bait. Will be seen around two between these two candidates . Harris secures a huge endorsement for me famous, as she calls herself, childless, lady. Those stories and more coming up. Kelly Taylor Swift and Kate Bolduan are here too. This is cnn new central. This morning, there are three postdebate takeaways. Kamala harris has Taylor Swifts vote. Kamala harris wants a second debate and despite former President Donald Trump saying it was his best debate ever more people are saying things like Rupert Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal Editorial Board which said Kamala Harris won the debate because she came in with a strategy to taunt and goad us to trump and to diving down Rabbit Holes of personal Grievance And Vanity that left her policies and history largely untouched. He also took the bait and ms. Harris set the trap. You are not running against Joe Biden you are running against me. Vice president Kamala Harris made that point again and again she met former President Trump for the first time. In a redhot Philadelphia Debate with dueling rivals trying to break the deadlock in the final two months of the race for the white house. She is biden, the worst inflation we have ever had, a horrible economy because inflation has made it so bad that she cant get away with that. Clearly, i am not Joe Biden and i am certainly not former President Donald Trump. What i do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country. Harris Dating Trump on the size of his rallies. People start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. Reporter his criminal cases. This is so rich coming from someone who has been prosecuted for national security crimes, economic crimes, election interference, has been found liable for sexual assault. Reporter and relationships with foreign allies. World leaders are laughing at former President Donald Trump. Reporter trump took the debate rattled by harris as he made one unproven claim after the other. People that go to her rallies she is busting them in. And paying them. In springfield they are eating the dogs the people that came in, they are eating the cats, they are eating the pets of the people that live there. Reporter the former president criticizing harrisons attempts to run as a Change Agent while being part of president bidens administration. She is going to do all of these wonderful things, why hasnt she been a. I have never seen a worse period of time people cannot go out and buy cereal, bacon or eggs or anything else. What we have done Is Cleanup Former President Donald Trumps mess. I ask what about the people pouring into our country and killing people. She allowed to come in, she was the borders are remember. Reporter here is hitting her stride on her signature issue, protect the rights. The government and former President Donald Trump should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. They have portion in the ninth went. That is not happening it is insulting to the women of america. Reporter harris also addressing the war in gaza walking a thin line of support for allison trying to not fracture a fragile democratic coalition. Israel has a right to defend itself, we would. How it does so, matters. It is true far too many innocent palestinians have been killed. Children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end. Reporter then the war over rhetoric. Whatever she wants to be is okay with me. It is a tragedy we have someone who wants to be president who has consistently , over the course of his career, attempted to use race to divide the american people. I think the american people want better than that. Want better than this. Reporter trump still falsely claiming he won the 2020 election. There so much proof all you have to do is look at it. Reporter and refusing to answer this about january 6. Is there anything you regret about what you did on that day . I had nothing to do with that other than the asked me to make his speech. Reporter harris made direct appeals to republicans for independence who believe trump has gone too far. We are not going back it is time to turn the page and that was a bridge too far for you, there is a place in our campaign for you. Reporter going into the debate, one of the biggest objectives for former President Donald Trump was too slow Kamala Harriss rise throughout the summer, throughout the democratic convention. That clearly did not happen. Republicans after the debate i spoke to were clearly disappointed at this opportunities and the fact that former President Donald Trump was supposed to be the experienced debater on stage that he took one piece of bait after another. The bigger question, how does this land with voters . It takes a few days often times for this to settle in but i talked to North Carolina Governor were cooper afterwards. North carolina is a key Swing State Harris is trying to win. He said on abortion and healthcare, this will move the needle in his estate. We shall see if that is amplified in other states or if it comes to pass. One indication of confidence, moments after the debate, the Harris Campaign said we want to do another one in october. As of now, former President Donald Trump has not agreed to do so. You put it all out there for those who do not see the debate Last Night they sat in your piece, i appreciate it. With us now is the governor of new Hampshire Paul milliken chris sununu. I know you lost your mother a few days ago kind of a towering figure in New Hampshire politics. Want you to know we are thinking about you. Thank you. Who won the debate Last Night . Kamala harris won the debate. There is no question about that. What does that mean . What does that mean to the 10 of Swing Voters. If you pull the Swing Voters they want results it is the cost of living, the border, who will be the Change Agent. Neither of them connected empathetically. Kamala harris had a great strategy of i do not want to get tied into reliving the last three years. She had confidence in her answers and took the last 30 seconds of almost every question and hit him with a personal attack knowing it would get under his skin. A very effective measure and i give her a lot of credit. It kept him on the defensive and ultimately definitely stylistically she openly won the debate. For those 10 of Swing Voters i think one or 2 i think you will see the needle move a bit but, the majority of the Swing Voters are still results driven they did not hear how are you going to lower my prices and pay my rent . Lets not forget we still have almost 60 days to go. The rent will come due, the Electricity Bills will come in, the Credit Card bills will keep coming in. That is one of the best messaging tools the Trump Campaign has to pay things are not as good as they were four years ago. That was a number 1 question when they said are things better than they are four years ago she immediately avoided the question. But trump missed his marks he shouldve thought about an hour without even talking about inflation and those are real issues for people. How prepared are seen . I think he had been told hundred thousand times just look at the camera and do not engage her personally. I think he was trying to be very disciplined and he was for a while. But she knew that and took advantage and that is why she kept turning to him. She kept jabbing at him knowing he was told to do your best to stay in your lane and keep composed. I think he had a decent amount of composure considering what we have seen in the past. But the Dog And Cat line. Those moments will not be forgotten. They will make Social Media means and that does not help them at all. If he can be rattled by Kamala Harris talking about crowd size, what does that say about what foreign leaders can do, adversaries can do to him . I will say this i that on the issues of foreign policy, that is a strength he has that he has not exploited in this campaign. There is chaos in ukraine, chaos in israel. A lot of pressure going on in taiwan. Lets not forget about that and lets not forget about afghanistan. There was more World Peace under his he didnt say he wanted ukraine to win. There was more peace when he was there but showing the contrast is what he has to do more of. It wasnt about if she can value or leaders can he has already been president he did not get rattled on the international stage as resident. I think he needs to keep going back to the international issues. You were a big supporter of Nikki Haley, no bigger supporter. Can you imagine what Nikki Haley wouldve done in that debate . It wouldve been lights out. She never had a chance to debate against former President Donald Trump. Did it make you think about how she wouldve performed . Yes but primaries are different. They are kind of breaking apart the spectrum within your own party. They can be pretty vicious obviously we are going to most folks do in the primary. Knowing that Nikki Haley wasnt going to take it. I think it wouldve been similar. It wouldve been impactful because it has a different impact within the demographics of the republican primary voter. She came close to New Hampshire, as you know. Ab it wouldve been a difference maker, maybe not. It is not about the overall it is always about the Swing Voters. Folks are talking about reproductive rights, those voters are decided. The prolifers are here and reproductive rights are there. Those issues are not Swinging Swing voters. It is about the economy and public safety and those that can make the Cut Connection with those voters. Governor chris sununu, thank you for being here. Taylor swift has made her choice, she is backing Kamala Harris but how much suede could swift have over the Swing Voters you just heard the Governor Talk about. We are live at the 9 11 Memorial Plaza for families are beginning to gather. Soon they will begin reading the names of their Loved Ones the lives lost, they will honor them, we will all honor them with the live moments today. Also arriving and attending here in Lower Manhattan the president ial candidates. A short time ago we saw former President Donald Trump and Katie Vance arriving. You see him standing next to the former mayor of new York City Mike Bloomberg. You see the secretary of Homeland Security standing in the distance. They will be here, they are here and president Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will also be attending the ceremonies today. Much more on this coming up. We are here live at 911 Memorial Plaza in Lower Manhattan for the Commemoration Ceremony to observe the 23rd anniversary of the 9 11 Terror Attacks will be getting underway this hour. Families are arriving to once again read the names of their Loved Ones, lives lost in this 9 11 also lands smack dab in the middle of the president ial election. Today is not only huge for that reason but it comes after the hugely consequential president ial debate between the two people vying to be the next commander in chief. Just hours ago, they were on the Debate Stage together. Today, Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will be here in Lower Manhattan to attend the 9 11 ceremonies. We saw former President Donald Trump and Jd Vance arrived a short time ago. We will be following the live moments throughout the morning. Not clear if these rivals, if these candidates will cross paths when they are here. It is possible they will be sitting separately from Each Other do not have to have any interaction whatsoever. These candidates who are running for president but people according politicians when the Terror Attacks happened will be here and we have seen a lot of dignitaries. It will not be four people up there as we all watch. Everything we know in terms of, we could probably put up the map, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will make their way there will be stopping by all three of the ceremonies. He will be here and at the pentagon and also shanksville. We know that former president former President Donald Trump will go from here to shanksville as well. These candidates are crossing paths. Making sure that what it is and what it means to them. Certainly trying to speak to what this day means to everybody. Where we were on 9 11 and where we are headed in this country. Once the ceremony begins, it is about the families. They are the ones reading the names. They do not want dignitaries to have any touch of the microphone because it is about the families and remembering the lives lost. It is also interesting sometimes you will hear some of those Family Members Talk About political moments. They will say lets reunite lets not have divisiveness. They will make a political statement and it is interesting to see that but its possible today. We will get underway very soon. 8 56 the first Moment Of Silence, the moment when the first plane struck the North Tower. 846 8 46, the candidates will be here in the ceremony about to get underway. The big debate overnight the first time Harris And Trump met facetoface. The only time they have ever shaken hands. Now the question, will he ever meet again . We are standing by for a new report on inflation that comes in just minutes. What it will mean for your wallet, your Bank Account and election. I thought we were playing some sound. Bouncing back to the debate. There was a big debate Last Night you will have to take my word for it. What does it mean . Join us to discuss is cnn senior political Commentator Scott jennings and democratic christine quinn. I want to start with one of the first, it wasnt the first thing. Were Kamala Harris was asked about her flipflops. Both candidates to be fair have done some flipflopping and their political lives. She was asked about several things. Did she answer the question well and, why didnt former President Donald Trump try to capitalize on it . Your second question gives away the answer of course she did not answer them well. There is no good answer. Ever single thing she ran in 2019 she now claims to be against and it is her right to change positions that is not mean you have to be convinced by it. I agree trump failed to go back to the well on that or go back to the well on the central issue he has to run on which is if you do not like what you are getting out of the current administration you cannot leave the same people in charge. He did it in his Closing Statement but it took a long time to get there. Even though i thought trump won the first 15 minutes largely about the economy the rest of the debate she was evasive but controlled the flow. A different experience than the debate in june. Thank god. She just brought it. What do you think matters most from what happened Last Night . I think what happens, what matters most is it is a positive jump out of the debate into the longer homestretch of winning the election. Is you see the correspondence that has come out of the campaign the heading on most of them is, debates do not win elections. That is the Subject Line on the Email Blast that went out overnight. I think that is smart because averagely she won the debate. No question even trump consultants say that but if you rest on those laurels you open up your flank for attacks and you lose your energy. We have a good bump like we did out of the convention were keeping it going but we have to get down to the Swing States, the critical Electoral College states and win on the ground. I am curious about were you surprised when former President Donald Trump said he did not have a plan on healthcare . He literally said he was going to keep obamacare. It took me back you almost never hear a Candidate Say they dont have a plan even if they do not admitting that they dont. Not really. Did i expect him to show up and give you Chapter And Verse presentation about a specific plan, how to rewrite the american economy . No. And harris says she has plans for everything and what trump failed to do is she other than saying she has a plan. Most republicans think today that the debate was set up by the moderators to be a lot more of a Trial Trump than a debate between two entities. That is no excuse you cannot complain about the referees when you are not making your own jump shots. On that topic they drilled down on trump but not harris as much when she was evasive. Yet they are talking about the refs even though they did not make their own jump s
