CNN CNN Newsroom September 22, 2024

Jessica dean in New York and we begin today with Vice President Kamala Harris agreeing to a october 23rd. Of course, just days before the election, harris is now challenging her political rival to another facetoface showdown. But its trump up for more. Were going to have more on that just a moment. Also Day Trump is campaigning in the key Battleground State of North Carolina as the republican candidate for governor in that state faces a major scandal. With just 45 days to go until Election Day. Cnns Steve Contorno is live in wilmington, North Carolina, where trump just wrapped up that rally. See first off, what did trump say about the possibility of this second debate with Vice President harris . Jessica Donald Trump wasted little time telling this crowd what he thinks of our offer for another debate. He said no, thank you. He said its way too close to the election. And while Vice President harris is eager to debate because shes called losing badly, he sees no reason to do it. Take a listen to what he told this crowd good entertainment value, a lot of people do it, its great entertainment. Ive already done to the problem with another debate is that its just too late. Voting is already started. Shes had her chance to do it with fox, no, fox invited us on and i waited why did and they turned it down. They turned it down. But now she wants to do a debate right before the election with cnn because shes losing badly. Its too late to do another Id Love to in many ways, but its too late will point out that trump has participated in October Debates in both of his previous elections. He did one against dough by Joe Biden on October 22 of 2020, and he had to October Debates against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Jessica, were not sure exactly whats different this go around, but it looks like were not going to have any more debates very interesting also, steve, republican gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson was notably not at the rally in North Carolina today. Did trump say anything about this man who hes endorsed for governor he did not. And as you said, he was not here, he also wasnt invited, which was interesting weve seen because he has made several appearances with Donald Trump in the Tar Heel State in the past. What i found really compelling though, is not only was he not here, but he wasnt talked about, not just by trump, by by the all the other republicans who spoke ahead of trump. We had several State Leaders here talking about the need to elect trump and to elect republicans up and down the ballot. But notably, Mark Robinsons name was not mentioned by any of them. And Steve Trump did appear to be worried about this gender gap. We keep seeing in the polls when it comes to female voters. Thats right coming into today, he posted this long message on truth social speaking directly to Women Voters telling them that they were quote, poor, less healthy, less safe more depressed, and less optimistic than they were four years, four years ago, it was quite a lengthy post and he actually read it almost wordrd for word during todays speech. And he continued to insist that they will issue of abortion should no longer be on the table because this is now being handled by the states. Of course, some states have restricted abortion to the point that women are concerned about getting access to Health Care and whether they can get treatment if they are in dire need of health. Thats something that Vice President harris has made a central part of her campaign. But look, its clear that the Womens Vote is something that trump is really worried about at this stage. Age of the race, and take a look at these numbers in North Carolina, 60 of women telling quinnipiac in a recent poll that they would support a harris over Donald Trump, and that margin between trump and the democratic ticket is larger than it was four years ago when it was trump versus biden. So clearly, he has some ground to make up theyre in a state that is growing quickly changing fast and his because many new Women Voters, especially in those suburban parts of the State Count is certainly going to be one to watch, right . Steve contorno for us there in wilmington on the trail. Thanks so much. Joining us now is former democratic congressman of ohio, tim ryan. Congressman. Thanks so much for being here with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. I want to start first in North Carolina and the controversy surrounding the trump endorsed republican candidate for governor. There weve seen the Harris Campaign sees on this, theyve released an Ad Tying Trump to Mark Robinson what kind of an impact do you think this could all have on the president ial race . There in North Carolina its going to have a big impact. I mean, i think it shows it reaffirms a lot of this extremism the whole holier than thou kind of attitude that youre getting from the Trump Campaign and really embed with the weirdos. And i think thats what you saw coming from the gubernatorial candidate. There. All of the great things that trump said about him, whos greater than Martin Luther King and all of that, i think thats going to hurt him badly in North Carolina and may just be enough to tip it in the favor of the democrats when we were already running a really good campaign yeah, it is going to be such likely such a tight race there. I also want to broaden it out and talk a little bit more about this potential upcoming debate in october 23rd, we heard my colleague Steve Contorno reporting there saying that the former president says he thinks its too late to do another debate with Vice President harris on october 23, what do you make of that response from trump i think it plays into the fact that hes scared. I mean, he realized thank him and j. D. Vance both behind the beard and the Tan And Hair dye and all that stuff like theres too scared little boys and he does not want to do do that again, just to remember the first debate against Joe Biden, trump won that debate significantly and now the debate against Kamala Harris, even republicans were saying he got his clock cleaned. He wasnt prepared on and on and for him to now say hes not going to debate again, i think plays into this narrative, look, these, these guys are scared theyre scared about everything they want you to be scared. They want you to be scared of immigrants. They want you to be scared of women making their own choices. They want you to be scared of another political party thats how they are. And so for him to be afraid to debate, i think place right along with that kind of theory of the case and i also want to talk about the rhetoric thats being used by the Trump Campaign in your state of ohio. Obviously, we have seen so much fallout from that debate. And what was said on the Debates Stage about pets in springfield. And now to where we are today, the mayor of springfield this week granting himself temporary Emergency Powers to address Bomb Threats at schools and public buildings have been receiving what in your mind is the bottom Line Fallout here within your, youre there in ohio what what are people saying and how are they responding to all of this . I think the response really is j. D. Vance and Donald Trump. They dont care. They dont care what they say everyones just a pawn in their game. And literally like Bomb Threats at schools, they dont care. Bomb threats at universities. They dont Care Ban Threats at city halls. They dont, they dont care it just shows that theyre in an almost admitting that they made the story up and they just use this beautiful town of springfield, ohio as a pawn in their little game and that they still dont care. And i think behind me the kind of immigration thing, of course its important. And how, that, how that happened and all behind all of that is people are coming to the realization that they just dont give a damn about average people, they will use them. Trump. Did that in all his business dealings, j. D. Vance did data when he started a Fake Opiate Charity in ohio and said he was going to take care of people overdosing and didnt spend a nickel on im spent all the money on his own political operation and that campaign consultant, ill pull that he ran out of his Opiate Charity for himself, like they dont care. And i think its all in line with past behavior. And i think those are the kinds of issues that especially women and were starting to see that resonate in the poll. But Men Two are like these guys are bsr is, and we need to move on. And as republicans, what im hearing a lot is we are voting for Kamala Harris, so we could begin the rebuilding of the republican party which as a democrat, i say how louis, thank god, lets, lets move in that direction. Lets add to same political parties here i ten days from now, were going to have the Vice President ial debate. You of course, debated j. D. Vance during your Senate Race what should Tim Walz be expecting . Are you helping them at all . Are you advising him at all since you have debated j. D. Vance in the past yeah im not going to comment on whether or not im helping, but i will say this you will hear j. D vance tried to probably ten Governor Walz and harris is extreme because thats been their go to move i think theres going to be very hard hard for people to believe that Tim Walzs some raging lunatic on political issues you so downhome thats such a great demeanor and a sense of humor but i think hes going to try to do that. Tim walz. And again, hes going to try to incite fear. Hes going to want everybody to be afraid of Each Other and all of these other issues that the thing that i think really doesnt happen from the Wall Side is Hes Cant let j. D vance get away with anything. He will try to lie. He will try to obfuscate. He will try to muddy the waters. And he has to pin them down on those issues in real time. He will say things that i never said that. What she was famous for and our debates when there were videos or podcasts or whatever, can actually saying those things. So hes got to hold them to account in real time. And i think Governor Walz will do that in spades and hes going to do it with a very nice touch and a nice demeanor. And then sense of humor. So im very much looking forward to the debate. All right. Well, we will we will all watch it. Former congressman tim ryan, thanks so much for your time thank you.

Again, thats according to lebanese officials Ben Wedeman joining us now live from beirut, the lebanese capital. Ben. What are you hearing there . And is this a level of conflict that people youre talking to . Just have come to expect continue yes were definitely since said tuesday, the level of escalation is reaching unprecedented levels. This evening. What were seeing is a renewal of intense Israeli Airstrikes mostly on Southern Lebanon earlier in the afternoon, according to the lebanese official News Agency within one Hour Period between one 30 and 2 30 p. M. There were 111 Israeli Airstrikes. Now, the Israeli Military says that they struck 180 targets. What we have seen so far today is that hezbollah hes claiming 11 strikes on targets within israel. Now, today we were at the funeral for three of the hezbollah fighters who were killed yesterday in that Israeli Airstrike on southern beirut. Thats the third Israeli Airstrike on beirut since january. Now the official Death Toll at this point is 37. Although we are seeing reports that another body has been pulled from the ruins. Now among those 37 are women and children. Now, when we were at that funeral today, we spoke to people who conceded that this has been a very painful and difficult week for his bulah, but they insisted that they continue to support the organization in whats known as its Support Front for gaza. Now, yesterday, among the dead, of course, was Ibrahim Appeal who was one of the senior commanders of hezbollah who was killed then that strike along with about 6 15 other hezbollah fighters and commanders as well. We expect his funeral to be held tomorrow. Jessica and ben, what has been the fallout from this weeks stunning attacks using pagers and walkietalkies as bombs, lebanese officials say theyre still treating thousands of people affected in that yeah. Row. The lebanese Health System was briefly overwhelmed by these thousands of injuries and in addition to the physical he called damage caused by these. This unprecedented wave of electronic device attacks. Theres the psychological effect that it has had oh on people, because by Enlarge The War has been restricted to the Border Area with notable exceptions. But release these attacks. And certainly Yesterday Strike on beirut. Have really brought the war to the entire country basically, where you had these Exploding Pagers and. Walkietalkies. And of course now there is a growing sense that since October Weve seen periods of intense attention followed by a somewhat relaxation of tensions but at this point, i think we are at the most intense period of worry that what we are on the brink of is perhaps a full Scale War between Lebanon And Israel Ben Wedeman live in beirut tonight. Thank you very much for that reporting. With us now, is michael oren, the former israeli ambassador to the united states ambassador. Thanks so much for being here with us this afternoon.
