There will be no third debate we have another debate refusing. A rematch, Donald Trump says he wont debate Kamala Harris again, what he would change his mind plus this the debate didnt really make that much of an impact for me. Im not sure, but Others A. Tight race, new polling shows the debate didnt do much for either candidate. So what can they do to move the needle . And this will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon a rare review, the Attorney General slamming efforts to turn the Justice Department into a political weapon and later a 911 Conspiracy Theorist invited by Donald Trump. To 911 memorial services. Now concern growing about how much sway she has over the former president right 6 00 a. M. On the east coast. A live look at a Beautiful Sunrise in new York City on this Friday Morning good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us. We made it to friday. Will we survive Friday The 13th . We will have to see there are just 53 days until November 5 election day, but make no mistake. Take americans are already voting. Voters are voting. This week, alabama became the first state to send out absentee ballots, and next week, pennsylvania, which is of course viewed as the top prize by both campaigns will begin inperson early voting the Timeline Part of why Donald Trump now says he will not participate in a second debate against Kamala Harris won a Prize Fighter loses the fight. Youve seen a lot of fights, right . The first words out of that fighters about is i want to rematch. I want a rematch. And thats what she said. I want to rematch. So because weve done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate too late anyway, the votings already begun, yet He Gotta Go Out and vote we got a vote theyre telling a crowd in arizona that harris lost their debate on tuesday. But that new reuters Ipsos Poll finds americans largely disagree about half of registered voters who heard about the debate say that harris won the night just about a quarter, say that trump did. And of course, numbers like that are part of why the Harris Campaign Feeling theyre still riding high but advisors also urging caution. One Harris Campaign Aide tells cnn, quote theres a quiet Confidence And Security and what were doing and the mission. But No One thinks we have this in the bag. Its going to be a grind until the election day. And after harris herself sharing similar Message Yesterday with supporters at a rally in North Carolina lets be clear about that. We are the underdogs and so we have hard work ahead but we like here. Elliot williams, cnn legal analysts, former federal prosecutor, molly ball, senior political correspondent, the wall street journal, kate bedingfield, cnn Political Commentator, former biden White House Communications Director, and sarah longwell, publisher of the Bulwark Executive Director of the republican accountability we project. Welcome to all of you. Thank you guys so much for being here. Sara. I actually want to start with you because youve been talking to voters about the impact the debate had. And im really interested in your view of what happened and also what she needs to do next. But lets listen to some of the voters that you talk to first. And then im gonna let you explain exactly who they are. These are flipping first as you call them, right . People who may be willing to go either both ways. Lets listen to them and then what well hear from sara about what else weve heard a, lot of things that trump was you know, criticizing and exploiting Joe Biden for now hes The Old Man that cant keep up, but she was more president ial. He did a poor job of taking her bait and allowing himself to get a sudden caught a caught up in different issues that we didnt need to spend a lot of time while she, you know, she addressed most of the issues pretty well and she gave Donald Trump like, what maybe other candidates couldnt, you know, shes a little bit sarcastic or toggling back with him, which i appreciate it. Sara, really interesting, especially that last one there who likes the kind of Harriss Style . What have you, what is your view of how this all has played out . Weve done a couple of groups since the debate, and these, these voters are people who voted for trump in 16 biden in 20. But a lot of groups in that category wed seen a lot of backsliding when biden was the nominee, people were saying they were either Leaning Rfk where they were going to leave it blank, and what Kamala Harris has done is just put that coalition back together. This Focus Group was a clean sweep for harris, both in terms of her winning the debate and in terms of vote choice, they were all going to vote for her. She had kind of gotten them over the hump and the Number One worry heard that came up that really struck me was several people organically referred to her performance as president ial, right . And this is the hump shes trying to get over. Do people see her as president ial, somebody ready for the big chair and for these voters, she got them there with this performance, but i will say one of the things about this group as they all watched the debate and as we know, lots of americans dont always watch these debates. So the question is, can she ride this into a much more high Level Narrative about how dominating she can be that sort of filters out to voters who are paying less attention. Yeah, i mean kate, how much do think it matters i do think it matters. I think one of the things she did, which i think sarahs groups kind of reaffirmed and this is your voters were saying the shooter was president ial. I think she was strong. She seems strong and i was one of the things that she needed to do going into this debate. She needed to show that she could essentially kind of take the foundation Out From Under Trump and that helped sort of reinforce for people the idea that hes capable of being president , that shes strong and said she did that. So i do think i do think it mattered. I think you know, in a time and in a race where were on this really condensed timeline having this really high Profile Moment where she went out and kind of nailed the key things that she needed to do . Yes, i absolutely think thats it. Fortnum. And i also think she neutralized what should have been Donald Trumps two biggest strengths. One immigration and two, the economy. Now, the criticism has come her while she didnt talk about her plans enough and others can quibble about that, but when asked questions directly about the economy and about immigration, she managed to get him talking about what Crowd Size and people, Haitians Eating Dogs and all kinds of other nonsense when had he and those are actually vulnerabilities for Kamala Harris just look at the polling, yet somehow, if you are a voter who was not familiar with who these two people were and where this race stood, you become a way of thinking. Wait, as i can, shes got shes far more sirius on these two really profound issues that are important to me as a voter the sense that ive gotten is that thats exactly right, but there still may be more for her to do to close the deal, right . That for a lot of voters. And we talked to several Swing Voters as well who said, yes, she did a better job than him. Yes. She won the debate they as a matter of sort of performance and yes, i didnt like how he came across they may still not be convinced that theyre ready to support her. They a lot of them saying, i still need to know more about who she is. I still need to know more about what shes going to do for me. So she may still have some of those blanks to fill in. But i think the good thing for her is that door is open to clarify, i didnt mean neutralized it as an issue through November 5. I just walking out of that room that night, i think she came off looking better, but but no, there is a huge way she has to go on these yet or to your 0. 1 of the things i heard in the group was somebody talking about how the fact that Donald Trump had scuttled the immigration deal was new information to him. Yeah. I mean, this is one of the things that debates really do is people tune in who are just really starting to get a feel for the race. And you have an opportunity to tell them things that they dont know yet. Thats not filtering down. And so there was a guy in the group, he was the most skeptical of Kamala Harris, but he was saying, i didnt know trump did that dont like that. And so i think that that is a way in which and look, i do think theres always theres something about american voters they want to be courted, right . They want to be told that such that these latebreaking undecided ones, but what you see is when she turns in a performance like this at the end of every election, theres a break in independent voters, they break one way or the other. And i think what shes doing doing is chipping away to the point where when it comes time to break, theyve seen enough. It also gave the Harris Campaign a lot of fodder to continue to educate voters, right . Like she had these great moments, which now the campaign is turning into eclipse. Theyre using an ad. I mean, there was the incredible impact of the enormous number of viewers who were watching the night of the debate. But now she has a lot of this material that she can keep working with over the next five weeks as we move toward the election, i think thats right, that its incremental. Yeah, its its bit by bit and you chip away and also, if you didnt watch the debate, probably the one thing you heard or saw on tiktok is eating Cats And Dogs. That to do. Okay. Thats where we are coming up here on cnn this morning he took on the role of Donald Trump for Kamala Harris says Debate Prep, felipe rinas joins us live to discuss how each candidate on the Debate Stage plus because Everybody Police Officer hailed as a heroes, you save two kids trapped in a burning building when a fiveday thank you.

Com coalition saturday at 8 00 On Tnt they weaponize the Justice Department every one of those cases was involved with the doj from Atlanta And Fani willis to the Attorney General of new york and the da in new york. Everyone one of those cases. And then they say, oh, he was a criminal. Theyre the ones that made them go after me Donald Trump once again, claiming without evidence the criminal cases against him in georgia and new york were initiated by the federal Justice Department. Now the Attorney General, pushing back in a rare enforceable public statement, Miracle Garland defended the Justice Department from attacks. Its works politically motivated. Garland didnt mention trump by name. He did denounce the spread of Conspiracy Theories and asserted the Departments Independence and impartiality there is not one rule for friends and another for foes one rule for the powerful and another for the powerless. One rule for the rich, and another for the poor. One rule for democrats and another for republicans are norms are a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon. Alright. Elliot williams, what did you hear from garland there . Why did he do this now yeah. Just help us understand kind of the context because hes a pretty mildmannered guy is and the now is an important question. They once a year, the Attorney General has all the u. S attorneys from around the country in washington and gibbs, us speak to them in some ways. Now, this one was a little bit because they invited the whole Justice Department personnel to tune in and it was partly on account of the attacks against the Justice Department that have really been chum in the water in the united states for the last 567 years, however much, what was interesting about that clip from the debate, which sort of also turbocharged some of this is that even though Fact Check Checking in debates, a sort of a controversial issue, he was allowed to go on making claims about the Justice Department having its ends in these state and local cases. That is simply not true. And i think the Attorney General felt some need to weigh in here because of the fact that the Justice Department is getting lumped into cases that they truly have nothing to do with this whole idea. Of state attorneys general, and local prosecutors and being puppets of the Attorney General is just not how the Justice Department works. And he felt the need. I think to reassure the many republicans who work with the Justice Department, but people of all parties that their work is protected is important and has sort of separate from police and again, for, for someone who, i mean, many democrats are very critical of how merrick garland didnt step in. Some of these trump things for him to kind of step out in this way. I think noteworthy for that Reason Arent coming up here after the break.
