Talk about montana. Thats what crazy about will control the senate. But j two men in montana and spousal Spotlight Launia Trump makes way what does my body my choice is Doug Emhoff it works to make history Inside Politics best reporting from inside the Corridors Of Power starts now politics sunday. Manu raja, just 30 days to go. So where does this unprecedented Race Stand . And how will the candidates shore up their vulnerabilities . And is there anything that could give either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris and edge since there is still no clear leader there are no more debates. The conventions are long over, and now it gets down to tactics and the extensive Ground Operations the parties have spent years building to target those small number of persuadable voters in the seven key Swing States. So how are the candidates spending these critical final days . Last night, Donald Trump returned to the site where he was nearly killed this summer. Butler, pennsylvania, for a rally with the man of man who died at the scene, as well as the worlds richest person, you on musk. And Vice President harris spent yesterday in hurricanebattered North Carolina. Of course, a pivotal state. Both candidates are desperately trying to win and Today Trump continues his efforts to undercut harris is blue Wall Stumping in wisconsin, and thats where we find cnns steve Contorno And SteveLast Night was solemn at first, but then sort of turned into a typical Trump Rally. Thats right, manu and emotional return to butler, pennsylvania for Donald Trump and his supporters. It included a Moment Of Silence for the individual who is seated behind Donald Trump at that rally and lost his life from a gunshot wound. Trump saying that he and his movement has emerged from the Aftermath Math of that shooting, quote, stronger, prouder, more united, more determined and narrative victory and then as you said, it was a pretty quick pivot to the dark rhetoric that we have seen from him. A lot of discussion about immigration. He also said that the, his political opponents quote, maybe even tried to kill him he was aided in this effort by elon musk, the tech billionaire, who has been one of his most outspoken and influential supporters of late ever since the butler shooting. Take a listen to what he had to say Last Night. President Trump Mustwin to preserve the constitution, he must went to preserve democracy in America Text people now now and then make sure they actually do vote last election thats my prediction nothings more important Super Pac that has spent tens of millions of dollars supporting Donald Trumps campaign, including here in wisconsin, speaking of which this is Donald Trumps fourth time in the state in just nine days. And theres a good good reason for that. Take a look at this latest Marquette Law School poll. One of the best pollsters in the state finds this race very, very close with a slight edge for Vice President harris, 52 to 48 mano. All alright. Steve contorno from juno wisconsin. Thank you for that report and we have a lot to write down with an excellent panel this morning, cnns josh on cane, Susan Glasser from the new yorker. Laura barronlopez of pbs newshour, and nprs michel martin. Good morning to you all. Thanks for joining me this morning. Really appreciate it. John king is back here yes. Exactly. Its a lot different. Youre back at home. Its great to have you here, john, so 30 days out Donald Trump decides to go back to the site where he was nearly killed. You brings elon musk, who has been funding these efforts, go Get Out The Vote efforts here, Fund Musk warns that this could be the last election if Donald Trump loses, to be polite, Thats Kind of rich that the guy endorsing the guy who tried to steal the last Election Section says this will be the last election, but thats the Trump Playbook heading into this election. Its all designed to stoke his base. If you listen to what trump is saying, whether its theyre eating cats and dogs whether its im going to have mass deportations, but theyre The Ones who want to steal your democracy it tells you theyre not really trying to when theyd love to get them, but theyre not trying to win the Nikki Haley voters in the philadelphia suburbs. They are trying to Gin Up Turnout of their base. Thats the calculation that they have made and if you talk to democratic pollsters are State Democratic chairman, including in those Blue States and congress democratic congressman from those Blue Wall states, theyre all nervous about this democratic pollster lets just, well tell you if you look at the likely electorate now compared to just several weeks ago, its tweaked up just a little bit in trumps favor. Now, those polls, they can fluctuate. We have 30 days to go. But in washington, a lot of people say, why is he saying these things . Why does it keep lying . Why is he demeaning immigrants . Thats what people in washington Say Out in the country. You see evidence that its helping Trump Rally his base, and youre just actually out in pennsylvania talking to allow those voters because this is pennsylvania being one of the key, probably perhaps the biggest prize here, just to look on your screen 12. 5 million. Republicans have spent on tv ads. And just this past Week And Tv ad thats more a little bit more than democrats most more than any other Swing States. So michelle, when you are on the ground in western pa this past week, what are you hearing from voters well, this is exactly as john said. This isnt really about persuading people who, on policy. This is about sort of trumps deep hold on the culture you know, anecdotes are always dangerous, but ill just tell you one. When we went to western pa, is that one of the counties there . Is that the swinging of the swinging counties and by that i mean that theyve correctly predicted every president ial outcome except for one since World War ii so we are working through a park. Were on our way to an event at a university and theres a Guy In The Park with a sigh handwritten sign saying theyre eating your pets it is just absolutely nothing to do with this community. I see very few people there who seem to not have been born there. But the fact that somebody who was so sort of seemed to be unhoused didnt really clearly didnt have a job. Hes held here at sort of in the middle of day, has handwritten a sign. He had to go to get the poster board guilt, get us, go get them marker. Its just shows you the deep hold that Donald Trump has on the culture. Its not about policy, its about who you are and what you believe, what you want to believe that is the part thats on the other hand, i tell you if you if you look at signs as a Permission Slip as of Pennsylvania GovernorJosh Shapiro would say, you know, your Yard Signs or permission it looked pretty even it looked pretty even. And so i think that is still as competitive as the polls would into gap. And it is just about something that trump was saying last several days and including yesterday at the Butler Rally talking about what the federal response to what has happened in the aftermath of hurricane helene. Of course, its couple of key Swing States, North Carolina and a Georgia Being part of that trump trying to suggest that this is harriss fault about how the response has gone this has been the worst Hurricane Response by a president and Vice President since katrina, the federal government is doing a very bad job there offering them been washed away and yet we send tens of billions of dollars to foreign countries that most people have never heard of of course theres a lot thats not true with a lot of what Donald Trump is saying. The charlotte editorial, theres Child Observer Editorial board out with this editorial saving shame on Donald Trump for worsening North Carolinas helene tragedy with political lives. So North Carolina of course, though, was hit hard by this Down Trump sees an opportunity typically then disaster in the afternoon, disasters, people come together, the parties typically come together this time trump tries is see trying to take a political vantage, even though hes the federal response is being praised on the ground. Yeah, political advantage where hes lying about the federal response whether its at 750 line are also earlier he had said that they were trying to take money from the Disaster Relief to then go to migrants and to handle migrant. So again, all of this election for Donald Trump has been about immigration and hes really tried to seize on that to the biggest fears of his base. But that was also aligning whats interesting is that washington post, due a fact check about that, saying that actually it was Donald Trump in 2019 who took money from a Disaster Relief pot and put it towards detention for migrants. So lying about the fact that the biden administer striation is doing that this time around. Im not sure that its necessarily going to impact Swing Voters in a state like North Carolina. His lies about this, but what it will do is itll gin up more disinformation, more belief in the electorate that the election could potentially be rigged in a state like North Carolina and election officials, there there are already dealing with a lot of threats. So its something that theyre going to be trying to prepare for as theyre heading into early voting and then postelection i think that you see here once again, Donald Trump has won playbook and to johns point, you know, this is we couldve been having a version of this conversation in 2016 and in 2020, Donald Trump does not believe in the concept of the people in the middle and the undecided Swing Voter he is a base politician. Hes always appealing to his base when he was the president of the country, he believed there was Blue America and red america, and that he was the president for red america. He actually said that out loud during the 2020 and he fan that weve all forgotten actually happened and i think that its really notable because every indication is that we are hurdling right down the road and 30 days towards another of these extremely close elections and thats where i feel like all the alarm should be blinking red because if its going to be this close, what trump is doing right now, in addition to focusing on immigration, is focusing on telling his people any outcome in which i do not win is unacceptable. He has said that to us. And again, are we going to be the trumps who dont listen and arent prepared for for this scenario of a Tuple Election in john, you spent so much time on the ground trying to get a sense of what voters are actually thinking here. Who are these undecided voters in the poll here and the Marist Poll suggesting about how many people have not made up their mind yet 4 14, 10 say they could still change him. I know thats a national poll that statelevel perhaps its different state by state, but who are these people who still havent were still persuadable. I would focus on the 10 or could still change through your mind a lot of those are your moderates, are youre Nikki Haley voters or people who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020 . Who dont like the toll, the Cost Of Living were going to were going to talk more about that and may who dont like whom maybe think harris is little left of biden. They voted for biden. They voted for trump than they voted for biden because they thought he was a centrist and i can do that. I dont usually vote for democrats, but i can do this. Trump is running these ads, including if youre watching foot cultural ball yesterday, the baseball Playoffs Yesterday about her support for surgery for Transgender AmericansDonald Trump is for you. Shes for them. Thats what Donald Trump is trying to do. Hes trying to make her different. Hes trying to disqualify is trying to make her way more liberal than Joe Biden. Those voters, there are key, they dont want Donald Trump back, but they have this nostalgic memory to Susans Point of the precovid trump economy. Theyve been whacked in the face by inflation or the Cost Of Living issues. And they dont know their Vice President and so there are available to her, but 30 days is both a long time and a blip. And speaking, they dont know the Vice President. Shes clearly recognizes that one of her biggest vulnerabilities right now is that you hear of some voters on the ground saying, i still dont know what she would do as president. She has a week. This events are Coming Up this week about just number of Media Appearances shes going on the popular podcast called her daddy, that actually, that Interest Debt you doing 60 Minutes Interview as well as hes gone on the view the Howard Stern Show the late show with coal bear, some more friendly interviews, but maybe some hostile ones as well. But clearly theres a recognition that she needs to at least do something to get those persuadable voters that john is talk thats right. Shes exposing herself more. The call your daddy is interesting because of the fact that that is interview that is going to be heavily focused on speaking to women directly. And i was just in arizona this week and there i spoke to a two time Trump Voter who said that abortion is one of her biggest tissue. She plans on voting in support of the Abortion Amendment to protect access there. And she says that she is gettable for harris. Shes not totally one over yet because to your point, she wants to hear a bit more about the economy. She wants to hear a bit more about how harris will compromise with republicans because shes still, this would be the first time this voter has ever voted for a democrat. And thats the thing when youre talking to some of these moderate republicans, they talk a lot about how difficult it is that for the first time in their life, they may be voting for a democrat, but that they feel as though Donald Trump is pushing them more and more towards the validators like Liz Cheney make a difference with a voter like that. I think that they do he is appearing with her. Yeah. Wisconsin a person who has her own admission, never voted for
