CNN CNN Newsroom With Fredricka Whitfield September 15, 2024

Cnn hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me up for greek. A whitfield. And we begin this hour with the race for the white house, entering another critical phase. Vice president Kamala Harris continues to try to build on her momentum out of Tuesdays President ial debate. Shes wrapped up a pair of rallies in the Swing State of pennsylvania where she campaigned in rural republican leaning counties tonight, harris will speak at an Award Ceremony for the congressional black Caucus Foundation in washington, Dc Shes also launching a new campaign to mobilize latino voters for more on these developments. Lets bring in cnns Eva Mckend at eva, the Vice President gave an interview to a Television Station in philadelphia before wrapping up her visit there in pennsylvania. So what did she have to say well, fred, one of the most interesting takeaway from that interview was the way that the Vice President talked about according republican voters, i think to the frustration some on the left, this is a very intentional effort of the campaign to play up the Cheney Endorsement to essentially argue to these republicans, they are welcomed into the fold. Take a listen to how the viceresidents thinking about this. In my heart, i know in my soul, i know that the vast majority of us as americans have so much more in common than what separates us. Most americans want a leader who brings us together as americans and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other i think people are exhausted with that approach. And fred, this is perhaps no surprise. One of the early acts of the Harris Campaign was to launch republicans for harris. There also going to be traveling to more rural counties in communities. Counties that they may not necessarily be able to win outright. Hi, but theres still illustrate to those voters that they want their support. Counties like like excuse me Cambridgeshire County in pennsylvania, where the Vice President was on friday. And so this is all part of the strategy. Fredricka to bring these republicans into fold to not only try to appeal to die heart democratic voters but to other voters, bring them into the coalition as well, wright. And among those that she and her campaign are trying to bring into the coalition, or more latino voters. And so theres a new campaign that shes launching. Whats that all about . Yeah. So theres a big push on Spanish Language radio with 3 investment there. And then shes also going to lean on influential radio personalities. They believed that that is the best way to capture that part of the electorate. Fred alright, Eva Mckend. Thank you so much. All right. This week, the mayor of springfield, ohio issued a public place saying, quote, we need help not hate this as former President Donald Trump doubles down on a baseless claim that haitian immigrants are eating pets and were now seeing the Real Life Impact that trumps words are having on the haitian community. There on thursday, Springfield City hall was forced to close due to a Bomb Threat on friday. Elementary schools, there were evacuated for a second straight day because of threats so how did this Debunked Rumor make its way into trumps remarks on the debate stage, according to the a political fact factchecking organization news guard, it appears to have started with a single post on a private springfield, ohio facebook page. And in it, the post sure claims their neighbors daughters friends missing cat was found butchered and ready to be eaten by haitian immigrants. The poster says theyve been told that this is also happening. Two dogs, ducks and Geese E well, theres more its not clear when the post was made, but on september 5, just days before the president ial debate, it went viral on x. And within days, and without any further proof, Elon Musk and Vice President ial Candidate Senator J. D vance, were repeating it so did other republican politicians like senator ted Cruz And Congressman jim Jordan And Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene neonazis were also a key driver in amplifying the rumor for months. Hate groups like Blood Tribe had been spreading hateful rhetoric, rhetoric about haitian immigrants in springfield. And earlier this summer they carried rifles and swastikas as they marched through downtown springfield. And last month, Springs Field springfield mayor rather had police remove a member of Blood Tribe from a City Commission Meeting come to bring a word of warning stop what youre doing before its too late savagery will only increase with every haitian you bring in with it. And i public frustration and anger. You sound threatening to mount based on the comment, i could ask the police to go ahead. Im sure i dont need to tell you that sound threatening if you go ahead and just peacefully be removed, these people didnt ask for this and they deserve better than to have to put up with violent unrest thank you. Thank you. Five days. Thats all it took for a private facebook posts to go from twitter to a former President Donald Trump, repeating it on a global stage, joining me to talk about this and other developments larry sabato, he is the Founder And Director of the Center For Politics at the University Of Virginia. And he is the editor of the book, return to normalcy. The 2020 election that almost broke america. Larry great to see you. Nice to see you, fred. Alright, so i know that was that was quite the journey that a rumor took and has caused significant Damage And Disruption in that community and beyond in so many ways. So, you know why does the former president keep spewing lies me, you know, these, this information that is so continuously to be so damaging because it excites his base theres no issue like the border for them, even more than inflation. I think the border issue, immigration generally gets them up and raring to go and determined to reelect Donald Trump. And that is all that matters. Frankly, to Donald Trump we live partly because of we live in the post factual error within which facts dont longer matter for they dont matter its whatever you can say. Whatever people want to take in. Even if you present them with volumes of evidence lets that isnt true or it was made up. Im thinking of the Big Lie about voter fraud. Its okay because it serves a larger partisan purpose. It supports the candidate they want to win and The End justifies the means. Boy, weve made a lot of progress in human history three, but we havent made any progress at all and hes also doing it because somehow it is beneficial is that support growing . I, dont think its growing. I think the question is whether or not he can maintain the level of Determination And Energy that his border police, in a sense, in his coalition have generated over the years. Because at this point, i dont think its very likely at all Donald Trump is going to attract new voters, or that hes going to expand his coalition, his chance of being elected again depends entirely on his coalition, his supporters turning out in very large numbers and this is what gets their Motor Running while trump is also attacking migrants, immigrants, hes also coming under fire from some of his most staunch supporters for campaigning with Farright Conspiracy theorists laura loomer. She is someone who has claimed on 11 was an inside job, posted a racist tweet about Kamala Harris this week shes been seen you know, getting on and getting off his plane on his campaign stops. So Hes Hes trying to say, look, hes not necessarily advocating everything that she has to say. Shes a strong person. She has her own beliefs. Thats the closest hes coming to either condemning or condoning her well, he obviously in maintaining his association with her and including her on his plane and making public appearances with her has legitimised at least to a certain degree, i think a substantial degree the wacky things that she has said over the years. Lets this is not new fred, he has done this since he came on the public scene. He has appeared with farright conspiratorial people, some of which he has endorsed on first twitter and then truth, social and of course, he has an ally on at least some things with Elon Musk. You know, if you do it over and over and you pay no penalty for it, and in fact, you gain from it politically. If youre like Donald Trump, youre very inclined to do it again and again and again okay. Meantime, his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, shes been killed campaigning and republican leaning counties in Battleground States as she reaches out to swing voters, and shes also launching this campaign to mobilize latino voters. What do you make of her strategy and her efforts to grow . Support this is so important and democrats have not done it to the extent they should have for a long time. They ignore the rural areas, and theyll say, well, theyre not that many votes there. Were going to go hunting where the ducks are meaning they want to maximize their vote in suburbs and urban areas. Thats fine maximize your vote but you can also help your cause enormously just by showing voters youre interested in what they think and you want to help them with their problems. And when you go into these rural areas, youre not going to win them as you were saying, a few minutes ago were correspondent, was theyre not going to win them. They know theyre not going to win him. But what they can do is instead of losing them by 50 points, they could lose them by 45 points. And you say, well, thats pointless, no, it isnt. When you add up those extra votes in all those small rural localities. It actually enhances your chances for victory larry sabato, well leave it there for now. Thank you so much.
