North carolina with no signs there of a postdebate bump for Kamala Harris plus a chilling letter from the suspect in this second Trump Assassination Attempt, making his plans to try to kill the former president. Clear and urging others to finish the job were going to bring bring you the breaking developments from the Court Hearing this morning and get ready to wait. We have new reporting on how and when votes will be counted in critical Battleground States that a bottom line, it wont be quick, which means we may not know the white House Winter until days after Election Day im dana bash. Lets go behind the headlines and Inside Politics carolina, a state Kamala Harris is trying to turn blue for the first time in 16 years a new poll out this morning shows it is a dead heat in the Tar Heel State trump holds a statistically insignificant Twopoint Lead but that poll was conducted mostly before cnn uncovered disturbing, racist, antisemitic, and X Rated Posts from Donald Trumps pick for governor in North Carolina. Republicans fear the Bombshell Report could cost trump the state this morning, Mark Robinson held his first Campaign Event since most of his Campaign Team quit yesterday afternoon. Cnns Dianne Gallagher has been following robinson for us this morning and this whole race for governor in North Carolina, dianne this is the first appearance that Mark Robinson has made since the departure from nearly we all of his Campaign Staff, eight of his senior Campaign Staff members, including his top senior adviser to political directors is finance director, as well as the Campaign Manager and deputy Campaign Manager. All left the campaign. This weekend saying they did so on their own accord, robinson addressing that today when asked by members of the media saying that they were working on trying to find new members for their campaign right now to help still quote, take them to victory. But robinson has been fighting all of concerns from republicans all over North Carolina after that Kfile Investigation that came out on thursday, a. Robertson has denied that and trying to keep the focus on what his campaign says he plans to do for north carolinians and his supporters, about 45 to 50 of them showed up at this event. Along with a smattering of protesters as well. But robinson says that hes going to try and stay focused on what his Campaign Position is when speaking to those supporters. Were for small business people. Were here for all those parents out there who are losing their children to fentanyl where volatiles people out there that are struggling to keep the small businesses open were here for the people who are were here for the people who are struggling to get their children a decent education. Were not here to talk about 15 or 20yearold, so license false lies. They dont want to talk about whats going on right now they want to talk about what possibly happened 15 years ago of course, that sounds like he is alluding to that Kfile Investigation of those post on that foreign graphic sites message board. A look, you talked about how close it is here in North Carolina at the top of the ticket between trump and harris, there are people in in North Carolina republicans who are concerned about what the scandal surrounding robinson could mean for the top of the republican ticket. But even more so what it means downballot here and we have seen many of these republicans who are running for statewide office or legislative districts their opponents, democrats are doing anything they can to try and link them with Mark Robinson right now finding pictures, endorsements any kind of nice thing they may have ever said about him and putting it out there at the moment. One person who isnt talking about Mark Robinson, Donald Trump, he held an event here in North Carolina over the weekend didnt mention Mark Robinson his name didnt have him with him, of course, in the past, Mark Robinson had been at these events even speaking at the rnc, dana doesnt have a whole lot of friends that appears like at least publicly right now in his own party. Yeah. I mean, theres a lot to unpack there, but the imagery of Mark Robinson standing there holding his own sin alone really does speak volumes thank you so much, dianne, for all that great reporting on Robinsons Opponent in North Carolina. Josh stein told Jake Tapper Yesterday that the Cnn Story only highlights robinsons previous comments Mark Robinson is absolutely unfit to be the governor of North Carolina. And that was true before he compliments hitler, he says hes a nazi. He buys little Toy Ss soldiers he says slavery. He wants to bring it back. Things that defy comprehension but those only are in keeping with what he has said throughout his entire public life joining me now to talk more about this and more broadly, the 2024 campaign. Some terrific reporters, cnns David Chalian, cnns priscilla alvarez, and cnns own Manu Raja that hosted Inside Politics sunday, David Chalian, im going to start with you we know that historically North Carolina is one of those states where voters are more Aptitude Tickets split than in other states. But this is such a huge story in North Carolina, what all of the Tim Walz around Mark Robinson any sense from your sources about how that is going to affect the top of the ticket. First of all, apparently calling for a return of slavery, not a good Campaign Strategy not really good politics. There listen, in reality, talking to the president ial campaigns about this, nobody is yet seen any, any real movement on the president ial campaign because of this story, the story just broke at The End of last week give it some time to be absorbed into the firmament of North Carolina politics. But as you noted, Ticket Splitting is not terribly uncommon in the Tar Heel State, even in this world where Ticket Splitting becoming more and more uncommon in American Politics you can imagine this story, Obviously Robinson was in a world of hurt in this race before the story ever broke. And i, its hard to imagine how he comes back from this butt think about the racist beneath the Governors Race on the ballot, all the dow have a negative impact their trump doesnt always have Sort Of generic republican turnout yeah, it could be a different coalition of voters that he brings to the polls for Donald Trump. And so its just an unknown right now, if this is going to have an effect on top of the gubernatorial race, go up ballot to the president ial. But ill tell you something. If okay. J. D. Vance and Donald Trumps Campaign Schedule this week that theyre both in North Carolina this week, the money is being spent at very high levels there from both sides. Harris has been there a ton. This is a totally engaged in i dont know that i would have said that about the biden Trump Matchup Yeah lets look more broadly at where these candidates are going to be this week, im glad you brought it up Kamala Harris, pennsylvania on wednesday, arizona on friday, nevada on sunday, trump pennsylvania, and georgia and michigan. And then lets look at it. Did note that the trump is going North Carolina in addition to that, right. In addition to that, that was just an added to what you said and then just looking at the polls to show you where things are to bolster more of what david was saying. Arizona, georgia, and North Carolina i mean, only arizona shows trump with a bit more of a lead as we talked about at the beginning of the show than the others which is dead Heat Race has not changed despite the debate and really also shows you why Donald Trump is now want to have another debate because he believes he can win this race, win this race across the airwaves, just given how voters we want to see a change in office and want to change from the biden years and that if he can take it to the airwaves, been a ton of money as they both are right now to find Kamala Harris in a negative way, perhaps you can grind it out so that is the question here is still wide open race, but just getting back on the North Carolina point the doubt in aspect, could it help if there was a strong down to get candidate . Lets say a gubernatorial candidate in northrop, perhaps they could lift down on trump if its a weak downtick a candidate, then they could bring him down. I think a lot about how the Governors Race in pennsylvania in 2022 brought down mehmet oz, the most Senate Candidate because they dont week governors take it at the top of the candidate. Could that have an impact down ticket or hurt Donald Trump . Thats a question. All right. And just in 2022, Donald Trump wasnt exactly such a singular. But the Harris Campaign is clearly trying to keep North Carolina in play for all these reasons. I was with her last week when she was there and she didnt name robinson, but she mentioned josh signs opponent, and tied it to reproductive rights. We see this a lot with the Vice President in her campaign in many of the places that she goes, she was trying to really hunker down on that North Carolina because they also time the reproductive Rights Bus Tour at the same time that she was there just doubling down on that issue, also putting out an Ad Tying donald ill trump to Mark Robinson, but to what you just mentioned there on her Campaign Schedule pennsylvania, she has spent i have spent so much time over the last several weeks because it is key to their strategy. We always talk about them multiple pathways to 270 not only is she going to pennsylvania this week, but thats where she is expected to unveil her economic by kozol. And so they know this issue and all of these polls were talking about is top of mind for voters and it is no mistake that shes going there, okay, so unveil it. Lets put all of these polls in context as to what has happened in the last week or two. Obviously, was the debate. A couple of weeks ago now, where Kamala Harris, by all accounts, did cleaned Donald Trumps clock. Then if you look at some of the ancillary headlines that we have seen from Donald Trump and what he is putting out there. Its not exactly, you know, policyfocused like at all in fact, you could argue that theyre not positive for him in the least, if you are thinking about a traditional persuadable vote, Voter Campaign trying to get people who arent sure to come to his side. I mean, everything from falsely accusing we know what happened with Cats And Dogs and ohio to Laura Loomer to tilt saying he hates Taylor Swift and it goes On And On And on. And yet David Chalian you hear time and time again. The question from Focus Groups, from undecided voters. But what about her policies . What, what is that about . Because he yes, he was president , but he hasnt really super articulated his economic policies for a second term because he was asked this weekend about what his plan is to bring down costs and it was Sort Of lacking any kind of specificity and trains run. I think what it is is shes newer to the scene for voters. I mean, its just shes a newer characters sure playing on the main stage in American Politics for voters. And so they are wanting to learn more about her. I dont even know that they necessarily are demanding specific Policy Proposals but you said yes, he has been president. I mean, i think that is part of though he was president americans observed him as president for four years i think they have fewer questions in their mind about what does a Trump Presidency looked like. And so that is why i think there are questions still as you decide, undecided persuadable voters who are still yearning for a bit more on her, but i will say you said put all this polling in context. What we do, see since the debate is that in nationaloltheris this slight upward movement for harris can i can i sorry. Can, but its because i want to bolster what youre saying. Favorability harris, his favorability and this may be where youre going with this and the Nbc Poll in july, she wasnt the candidate yet, 32 . Now, 48 . Thats a big jump in this political environment, historic i mean, they compare it. They only saw in Nbc Polling history, not since George W Bushs Favorability changed after 911 so dramatically if they seen that, but for he was not an active Candidate President at the time for an active candidate for president in the history of Nbc Polling, theyve never seen that kind of turnaround unfavorability. So that is that is the benefit of the debate. Now, thats not how we elect president s, right . It is this path to 270 electoral votes that seems unchanged so far. That seems to be still a real coin flip. But she, the debate clearly in a national perspective is helping her. Yeah, i can tell you in talking to democrats to what really is concerning them is the economic numbers she he is still leading her in pretty much all polls about who you trust to lead on the economy. The concern being that shes not drawing either enough of a contract as are going after his economic record while democrats believe people are looking at his record in rosecolored glasses in the years pass for getting her what happened during covid, and they believe she needs to prosecute that argument more effectively. Otherwise, this is going to go the wrong way and just going back to that, paul, there is one interesting point. It said 40 of voters say theyre more concern that harris this will continue the same approach as president joe biden. That is the challenge. Its not just getting to know her, its how is she different from the president . And i will say having covered both Campaigns President Biden Talks about bidenomics quite a bit. Were not hearing that from Vice President. Its the opportunity to convict Donald Trumps campaign and say, all the time. But theres clearly a shift the framing for that reason. Such a good discussion, but dont go anywhere because theres a lot more to talk about up next, shocking new details out of a second Trump Assassination Attempt were going to go live to florida where the alleged Wouldbe Assassin is back in Court Today saturdays this whole scene and is taking a break from Breaking News to air.
