The final strategy for each which campaign take shape it involves swing states, superstar names, and bearing. Theyd grudges, plus The World watches anxiously to see how or if israel will fire back at iran as leaders around the World War Gray that one provocation too many will propel an all out war. And a last month power drive, a Screen Door slams on any question for Bruce Springsteen will back in 2024 as the boss tries to appeal to his fans, especially Working Class men, to vote for Kamala Harris im dana bash. Lets go behind the headlines and inside Politics Calendar to borrow from new jerseys greatest poet the candidates planned to spend the 32 days out in the streets looking for every last vote. Today, Donald Trump is in georgia and North Carolina, while Kamala Harris holds two events in michigan tomorrow, its harris who will be in North Carolina while trump goes back to butler, pennsylvania, where he was nearly assassinated three months ago and then next week as the Countdown Clock to Election Day ticks two under a month, both candidates call a big names behind their bids for the White House. We start our coverage in flint, michigan with cnns eva mckend, Eva Calling on him to go to pittsburgh next week as they lean on his Star Power to turn out the vote, his Star Power among democrats, at least and we have seen this to great effect in several last election cycles where obama is sort of called in, in the final hour in order to thwart democratic complacency. And we expect to hear from him a similar message that we have heard from the obamas at the dnc. We heard Michelle Obama notably lee, i tell democrats essentially listen, dont get in your feelings here. If you dont hear directly from the campaign between now and Election Day, this election is too urgent to stay home. You have to get out and vote. But theyre not only deploying the obamas in these Battleground States we are also going to see republicans deployed as Well Republicans for harris, a key to the Campaign Strategy were going to see Liz Cheney and then former officials from the Trump Administration make the case as well. Theyre just trying to appeal to every constituency, every part of the electorate ahead of Election Day, we know that the Vice President is going to meet with Arab American Voters today. Here in michigan before this big rally, this evening in flint, dana, this line already around the block here, were seeing a lot of momentum, enthusiasm on the ground. Dont know if that necessarily is going to translate to votes. The campaign is certainly hoping as such, dana, that is the big question, eva. Thank you so much for that. Ive got three great reporters here at the table with me today. Amy walter of the cook okay political Report Zolan Kanno youngs of the new york times, and Dana Milbank of the washington post. He is also the author of fools on The Hill, the hooligans Saboteurs Conspiracy theorist, and dunces who burned down the house. That is such a subtle title want to keep people guessing yeah. Exactly. Were going to get to that later in the show. But first i want to start with whats happening on the Campaign Trail. And dana, ill start with you. Barack obama Liz Cheney yesterday how much of a difference . I mean, we first met on which campaign was built Calvin Coolidge no, i was not yet bore or neither no. I think it was Bill Bradley actually, quite possibly nine. So weve seen celebrities come and go from campaigns, mostly democrats, but some republicans. How much this is obviously celebrity, but also its like big endorsement thats supposed to have a pop when it comes to Liz Cheney yeah. Its not necessarily a slam dunk, particularly with barak obama. Hes often said the most gifted politician of his generation. He really drive turnout among democrats, but theres a flip side. He also really drive turnout among republicans. The maga, it really brings out the maga folks some of its rage but no, they portray him as elitist, that sort of thing. So you definitely want him in strongly democratic areas bringing out the vote, but you probably want Liz Cheney in areas with Swing Voters to deliver that. So lets listen to a little bit of Liz Cheney on the Campaign Trail Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice our capitol to allow Law Enforcement officers to be beaten and brutalized in his name and to violate the law and the constitution. In order to seize power for himself. Any person who would do these things can never be trusted with power. Again, we must defeat Donald Trump on November 5 and i have talked to so many republicans who shoulder shrug and theyre like okay, i mean, it is noteworthy that a cheney or cheneys are not just endorsing, but out on the stump for a democrat, but is it really going to move the dial . Yeah. I mean, the thing about look, you do have a conservative republican in Liz Cheney. Now coming out for the Vice President at a time where the Trump Campaign Pain is still trying to portray the Vice President as to the far left, right, cheney also represents a republican party thats not as visible today. The republican Party Today is more aligned with maga and trumpism. But at the same time, what this does do is her endorsement also brings January 6 back into the spotlight. At a time when the Harris Campaign actually hasnt made January 6 a focus of their messaging as much as the Biden Campaign did the Biden Campaign was talking about democracy in often trying to remind folks about January 6 and the storming of the Capitol Harris has more so tailored her messaging to trying to lower costs and sort of Kitchen Table issues. Now with this endorsement, you dont actually need her to talk about January 6 all the time well, yeah, its that and the moment in the Vice President ial debate earlier this week, which was sort of focused on January 6 and democracy and of Course Jack Smith and what they released this past week with a lot more information and quotes according to Mike Pence of the involvement of Donald Trump in trying to overturn the election . Yeah. The first to the Liz Cheney piece, i think theres this conversation we hear a lot in politics called a permission structure, right . Allowing people who feel sort of uneasy voting for one ticket because they never have before and giving them a way out to say to conservatives or somebody whos voted republican consistently, look, it wasnt your fault that you voted for Donald Trump. You thought just going to do good things, even Liz Cheney is now voting against him. You werent you were duped rather than you made a poor decision but i do think this is the sort of challenge for the Harris Campaign. They have a dual track here. One is winning over those people like Liz Cheney would appeal to. But the real Swing Voters and were seeing this in our polling and were seeing it in other data out there are the voters who are saying, i feel really pinched economically, i feel really stressed about inflation. So i need people who are going to be able to dress cost of living things. The Kitchen Table issues are my main issue. January 6 . Yes, it was terrible, but that is not what Im Voting on. Im voting on my pocketbook. And so being able to and you hear her in her ads, almost all of them are about Kitchen Table. Yeah then the question is, as are so all of Our Mutual Friend david chalian, reminded all of us this morning, the polls also showed the economy work. Thats like top, top, top and midterms. And it didnt entirely work out that way. But lets stay on the economy because i, of course want to show today is the first friday of the month, which means that we had the job numbers this morning 254,000 way higher than the forecast, which is 140,000 jobs. So its more good news on the ledger with the data. You mentioned that you guys have done some polling. What else did it show you with regard to the these issue sets and how they are or not favoring Kamala Harris . Yeah. So you know, the overall when we look at the headtohead numbers, they havent really changed much since august. And there is some concern among democrats that harris peaked and now shes back sliding a bit but when you look underneath and look at issues like inflation, who do you trust on the issue of inflation . Donald trump had a six Point Lead our polling in the Battleground States in august, thats now even so that lead of his has been erased on immigration. His lead is narrower. There as well. Part of it is voters feeling theyre not feeling great about the economy, but theyre feeling less, had pessimistic about the Economy Today than they certainly than they were in may by a significant percent of motors. And shes winning over the folks who say theyre, they think things are staying the same so its not even that things need to get that much better. Its that even the voters who are feeling kinda matt about the economy are still feeling better about her as a candidate. Yeah, i think this is the single most important development thats happening right now much more so than the top line because youve seen it in other polling across the Country Reid trumps advantage on the economy, which largely means inflation, is shrinking. And part of thats like the jobs report, part of it is cutting Interest Rates and inflation actually sinking. But i think part of it is trump has been just all over the lot in his message. He has not been able to bring home the message on the economy or on the border and down the ballot. Republican candidates are similarly all over the lot. I mean, theyve been outspent to a large extent by democrats and by the the Harris Campaign. All scattershot. So i think he squandered his advantage just as much as hes lost it on the economic data. Lets quickly look at theres the sort of earned media as you call it, when the candidates just speak and then theres the paid Media Acts want to quickly show our colleague david wright, put this together and its really fascinating where first were Kamala Harris is spending focusing on the blue wall. I mean, you see pennsylvania by far their spending the most and then michigan, wisconsin, and then on down. Then lets look at where Donald Trump and his campaign. They are focusing, they are focusing on pennsylvania as well, but then theyve got almost as much North Carolina, georgia i mean, its its fastening. Right . I mean, it shows the focus that the Harris Campaign and really democrats in general just have on those three crucial states, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. Its also why the White House was panicking about a certain longshoremens strike thats because of the potential bad had to alienate you Union Support in states across the country, including those three pivotal states for the Trump Campaign, youre seeing them invest in the sunbelt where Housing Prices have really been an issue for the past couple of years, which is obviously a vulnerability to incumbency. But also, i think North Carolina is fascinating. This has been something that democrats have had increasing enthusiasm about for firstly, i mean, they have a lot of money just as we button this up, the Harris Campaign, if you look there on the right of your screen its like blast in all of these Battleground States in terms of money spent on ads, does that surprise you . It does to an extent, especially when you consider the controversy around them lieutenant governor, and the potential for maybe it does that then impact turnout for the former president as well . And just how much democrats have talked over the past couple of years about how they may have a chance in North Carolina, but also the spending on the Trump Campaign doesnt surprise me because of the concern for that state. And also, its so just add up georgia, North Carolina, pennsylvania that gets trumps chance to 70. Yeah. There we go. Stay with us up next were going to go live to the Middle East as israel prepares to pick the time and tempo of how it will respond to more iranian provocations plus a playbook to steal the election.
