Thats when 8085920400 some of the first ballots of. The 2024 General Election are in the mail and just hours after the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, the Harris Campaign has already pushing to get back on the debate stage. While trump claims that he won Last Night. And doesnt need around two plus conditions are rapidly deteriorating across the Gulf Coast Hurricane francine is barreling toward louisiana. Millions are bracing for strong winds and severe flooding. Were on the ground there and well take you there. And police arrest the man on Arson Charges as several wildfires in california explode in size, the Outofcontrol Fire is now prompting even more evacuations. We are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News Central the clock is ticking after squaring off in their first and possibly only debate. Theres less than two months until Election Day the Harris And Trump campaigns are running out of time to win over critical undecided voters in key Battleground States. Now, were learning new details about how the Harris Campaign views the race postdebate. Cnn senior white House Correspondent Mj Lee is with us covering the latest from the Harris Campaign mj talk to us about their strategy now well, boris, the Harris Team is certainly feeling really good about Last Night. They felt good about the Vice President s performance. They were pleased to see Donald Trump taking the bait from her and multiple moments. But i think today back in wilmington, according to aides that i have spoken to, the vibe is very much its back to work. Even as a campaign is trying to strategize over how to maximize and capitalize on the momentum that they felt like they had Last Night there is no sense from the campaign right now that that one debate ended up changing fundamentally, the trajectory of this race the assumption from here until Election Day is that this is its going to be an incredibly close race and that the really hard work for them is to come still in the coming weeks as one senior Campaign Aide put it it will be incredibly close. We cannot take our foot off the gas even when the moment feels really good. That of course again is a reference to Last Night in other words, think boris, theres no sense right now in the Harris Campaign that this race is suddenly a 45, 55 race, that they still see this as a very close 5050 race. And remember, this is a team thats certainly remembers really well that the 2020 election ended up being decided in a number of Battleground States by margins of Tens Of Thousands of votes. Now, obviously this is why we are going to be seeing the campaign continued to be focused very much on a number of Battleground States. If you even look at the places that Vice President Harris And Governor Tim Walz are going to be traveling to in the coming days. Harris is going to North Carolina and pennsylvania in the next couple of days, Tim Walz will be going to michigan and wisconsin. That just tells you everything that you need to know about where the campaign continues to focus its attention. Now, one other thing coming out of Last Night is of course this Taylor Swift endorsement. We are told that the bracelets, the Friendship Bracelets at the campaign stops started selling quickly Last Night. They actually sold out. They were 20 a pop. But if you go on the Store Website for the campaign, it says that theyre sold out. So currently theyre taking preorders to come later in the month, the campaign so far is being very tightlipped on whether there are discussions about potential events they could do with taylor were swift herself for us. So im going to keep an eye on Mj Lee. Thanks so much for that. Lets turn now to cnn national correspondent Kristen Holmes is covering the Trump Campaign. Kristen why is former President Trump Casting doubt on the potential for a second debate . Well, boris quickly, i just want to mention something that mj just said. This idea that Taylor Swift will campaign potentially or go to an event with Kamala Harris that is something that would really get under Donald Trumps skin. I just want to remind everyone that despite the fact that he went on Tv Today and said that he didnt think youd get Taylor Swifts endorsement. He wasnt a big fan of hers anyway, it was just last month that he was posting Ai Pictures of Taylor Swift essentially pretending that she had endorsed him, saying taylor, i accept with these a. I. Generated photos of her and other women wearing swifties for trump shirts so that is something that would really irc Donald Trump regardless of how many times he says he doesnt care what Taylor Swift does now in terms of the debate Donald Trump says, Last Night was one of his greatest Debate Appearances ever. However after months or weeks of saying that he wanted a second debate after this one with Camila Harris, he now appears to be backing away from that idea. Heres what but he said this morning when a fighter loses, he says, i want a rematch. I want to rematch, say always to losing person. The fighter that debater. They always this for a rematch. I won the debate i dont want to do another break. Now. I dont know anything about fighting, but i do know that generally speaking, if a campaign comes out immediately after debate and says we want to do another one. That generally means that they thought that they did well, the campaign comes out and sends their own candidate into the spin room, but generally isnt that good for that side. Now, regardless lets ive spoken to a number of republican allies of Donald Trumps who say they were disappointed in his performance Last Night. They dont think its going to move the needle at all, but they did believe after talking to him in the leadup to this debate, that he would stick to the issues that he had been warned enough times they Kamala Harris was going to try to get under his skin that who she was going to try to go to him with specific questions or specific responses and kristen, youre really cold because the former president is speaking in shanksville, pennsylvania right now, lets listen in were looking at it, but you know, when you when you dont really necessarily have to do it a second time we had a i dont we had a great debate thank you very much to you for you to agree to a second debate, which you want different rules, wanted more format. You know, when you when you dont win, its like a fighter. When a fighter is a bad fight gets knocked out or loses to fight. The first thing he says is we want a rematch we won the debate according to every poll, every single poll i think that are we going to do a rematch . I just dont know that well think about what you still do. The Ynaught Nbc on september 20, hey, that you give propose that are you still i would do nbc. I do fox. I do fox do. But right now we have to determine whether or not we want to do it a great night last i and you see by the poll numbers, who was really fantastic. Thank you very much. Everybody ran make brass back to the van, that was former President Donald Trump at the in shanksville, pennsylvania for the anniversary the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks a united flight 93, which went down over shanksville, the former president being asked by reporters about the potential for him to do another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, the former president , saying, well think about it. He repeated the idea that he won Last Night. He said we had a great night. He said the polling shows that thats not what cnns polling reflects. Which gave the edge to the Vice President. He did say that when you when you dont have to do it a second time comparing himself to a prize fighter. And the losing side and a Boxing Match saying that they want a rematch. He says that he may not need one. He would do nbc or fox. According to him, for a debate of course, were going to keep an hi on the former president s remarks and get the latest from his campaign as he speaks to the press, brown all right. Boris, thank you so much former President Trump and his supporters are slamming Abc News after Last Nights debate, theyre calling out the network after its Moderators Fact check the former president and real time. Trump made at least 33 false claims according to Cnns Count and this morning he called the Debate Or Rig process and baselessly suggested that harris cheated they had a Rig Show with somebody that may be even had the answers. I mean what i watched her dog and i said, you know, she seems awfully familiar with the questions cnn Media Correspondent Hadas Gold is with us now, hadas, how often did abc step in Last Night . Yeah. Brianna factchecking is always such a thorny issue for Domain Debate moderators that has dogged them for years. Now, abc, before the debate never committed one way or another, whether they were going to factor out, but clearly, they had made a conscious decision that they were going to step in at certain times, but they stepped in in very quick and crisp moments. There were two very clear, very obvious Fact Checks. Lets get to the first one. This is about 20 minutes into the debate, and this was by Lindsey Davis on the subject of abortion when you can look at the governor of west virginia, the previous governor of west virginia, not the current governor is doing an excellent job, but the governor before he she said, the baby will be born and we will decide what to do with a baby. In other words, will execute the baby. There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after its born now, the second Fact Check was about the whole thing of people Eating Pets in ohio. I never thought id have people Eating Pets on my high on my 2024 debate bingo card. But here we are. But there were other more indirect Fact Checks which i think was a very interesting and smart way for the moderators to do youll factors where they dont go right to the candidate, say, actually this is not true. David muir, for example, when trump refused to say that he had lost the 2020 election, then turn to Vice President harris and said, okay, he still believes he did not lose the election. That was one actually by President Biden and yourself. But as you noted trumps allies, trump himself, the rightwing media, they are howling over the summer even gone so far, suggesting abc should somehow be criminally charged or should have something happened to it just for factchecking. Saying, what is true and what is not in a debate stage. And theyre saying that they should have also been factchecking harrison shore, as we noted, harris did have at least one instance where they could have potentially Fact Check, but, you know, abc was just going for them most obvious, most extreme examples of outright ms truth, and that just happened to be said by Donald Trump, ronna all right. Hadas. Thank you for taking us through that. Hadas gold and joining us now to talk more about the debate Last Night as Trump Surrogate and republican Congressman Michael Waltz of florida sir, i do want to go through some of the key moments of the debate and i should note to be clear that largely our Fact Checkers did find that there was more issue with trump, but there was a particularly important comment that harris made that our Fact Checkers found misleading here it is. And as of today, there is not one member of the united States Military who is in active duty in a Combat Zone in any War Zone around the world. The first time this century you, i should note are the first former Green Beret in congress. What did you think of that moment well, i about fell out of my chair i immediately thought of the three soldiers from georgia who were killed by iranianbacked missiles and drones in jordan. I thought the two Navy Seals who died trying to intercept iranian smugglers and off the coast of somalia, i thought about the ships that have been used as Target Practice by the houthis an Aircraft Carrier just got a Combat Metal for the first time since World War ii for its actions. Off the red sea. And we can keep going down the list the Special Operators that are in syria right now as we speak lets had six wounded in a raid on a nicest compound. We had another six wounded by a missile attack. I mean, this is a long list, so either shes a wallflower as Vice President and had nothing to do with any of these actions and decisions. Oh, by the way, nothing to do with the debacle in afghanistan or she was that the table and was deliberately misleading misleading the country and its right on the heels of biden and his debate saying he hasnt lost anybody on his watch. Its completely out of touch with the Gold Star families and completely out of touch with the chaos that is engulfing the world on harriss watch, on bidens what i do want to ask you about Russias War in ukraine twice in a row. Trump would not answer the question when asked if he wants ukraine to win the war, is that a problem . What look, i thought he was actually has been consistent that he wants to end the war i dont think President Trump, and in many americans wouldnt say that. So is that a legal him that he wont say that no, he actually real lets roll the tape. You very woodley said, i wouldnt want ukraine to win the war it says he wants the war President Biden nor harris, nor harris can define what winning is. And if i could finish, is expelling every russian from every inch of crimea. Former ukrainian territory. Is that winning . Is that how you would define winning look at The End of the day. He talked about driving both sides to end the war and a diplomatic solution and actually laid out how he would engage the leaders on both sides as hes done a rally speeches. And at the debates. So i think hes been very consistent. What we havent heard the last four years as a strategy. How far, how long . How much, how are we going to get to any type of negotiated solution which is obviously where this war needs to go so trump claimed that he would negotiate The End of the war with Zelenskyy And Putin before he even takes office. If he wins, thats thats not, legal and when Punchbowl News asked you if youre open to serving as defense secretary. If asked by trump if he wins, you are open to it would you personally commit to not negotiating if you were in that position . With your russian counterpart in a transition well, as part of a trend, i mean, look, youre getting all kinds of hypotheticals. There will be on it and theres all types of engagement during a transition. I think what President Trump has made clear that he could do very quickly is go to the Kremlin And Putin and make it clear to them that we will unleash americas arsenal. E will unhandcuffed the ukrainians as theyve currently been handcuffs, and we will flood the world with clean american Oil And Gas drive down prices, put his economy on Life Support and actually enforce the sanctions that will get putin to the table at the same time with the ukrainians. Hey, you dont have a blank cheque here. You guys need to lay out a framework for how to negotiate an end to this conflict. And this im not sure what youre asking me there on some hypothetical position and how we would lay that out we did see some negotiation in the last transition, which is why i asked it wasnt hypothetical in that transition, which is why im asking you if youre if youre referring to Mike Flynn talking to now russian ambassador when the transcripts were actually released it was it was completely appropriate and will you also had Text Messages of Fbi Agent saying, do we want to catch him in a lie or do we want to just get them fired . So im happy to go down that road because that was despicable behavior on the part of the fbi and perfectly legitimate for an incoming national Security Adviser during a transition to engage his counterparts. I want to ask you about abortion because Jd Vance publicly said that trump would veto a national Abortion Ban. Weve seen Trump Back Pedal on that. He would not commit to that. He didnt it the debate why not . If he really thinks that this is about states and that states should make the call. Why not just say that Hell Veto a national Abortion Ban . Well you . Know, i think the president doesnt want to back himself into a hypothetical position when its very clear as Nikki Haley repeatedly said and was praised by many in the media. You dont have the votes. Why do we have to, why do we have to kind of message on this thats going to be used by the other side, but notably Kamala Harris also wouldnt denounce late Term Abortion up to the ninth month. She completely pivoted away from that and refused to answer the question. I will just note that when it comes to abortions after act or after 21 weeks, less than 1 account for that. And in a lot of those cases, it has to do with the life of the mother or it has to do with extreme medical conditions of the fetus that it will not survive after birth. But i do want to ask you, you said it was and Terri Sanderson of millions is still a large number and i mean, when you have or in the case of Rape Or Incest barriers to access by, for instance, if someones if someone eight children, eight children in minnesota that died after attempted abortions were born and then still die. But you have abc saying this never happens when you have eight states that have zero restrictions, eight states that have zero restrictions all the way up to the minute of birth. Abc was all over the place and one side is through, you know, that snyder so you know, thats not, y
