Welcome to Way Too Early on this friday, september 13th. We made it. Its friday, thank god. Im Sam Stein in for jonathan lemire. Former President Trump is officially as officially as he can, backing out of a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite previously claiming he would participate in more than one debate with harris, the former president said yesterday that because he, quote, won his Firstuo Debate with the Vice President there was no need for another. But when a Prize Fighter loses a Fight Youve seen a lot of fights, right . The first words out of that Fighters Mouth is i want a rematch. And thats what she said, i want a rematch. Polls clearly show i won the debate against comrade Kamala Harris. Am so because weve done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate. Its too late anyway. The votings already begun. Youve got to go out and vote. We got to vote. Meanwhile, Vice President harris is Riding A Wave of postdebate momentum. She held two rallies in Battleground North Carolina Yesterday and received raucous reception when she walked out to greet thousands of supporters at the greensborough colosseum complex. Wow. 17,000 People. ,0 that was loud in my ear. 17,000 People gathered to welcome the Vice President at the Greensborough Event. Harris thanked them for their support and then challenged Donald Trump to another debate. So North Carolina two nights ago Donald Trump and i had our debate. You watched it . Did you to watch it . And look, i believe we owe it to have another debate. Right . We owe it to the voters because heres theot thing. In this election whats at stake could not w be more important. Now, prior to the Greensborough Event the Vice President rallied 7,500 voters at a separate event in charlotte. People began s gathering in lin several hours before the start time. Once the rally kicked off, harris highlighted the flood of republican endorsements that she has recently received. Over 200 People who worked for president george h. W. Bush, President George W. Bush, john mccain, and Mitt Romney have endorsed me for Vice President. Former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Liz Cheney support me as well. As they said we have a duty as citizens to put country above partisanship to defend our constitution. Still kind of wild to see a democratic audience cheering Dick Cheney, but it works for her. Donald trump, meanwhile, is repeating the baseless came immigrants from hawaii are Eating Pets. He doubled down yesterday in tucson,in arizona. The republican governor of ohio, mike dewine, has said theres no evidence of haitians abusing pets. Also many of those migrants are here legally under temporary protected status. Still, trump brought up what he hez is an issue, and he called the influx of migrants a, quote, invasion. Theres a place called springfield, ohio, that youve been reading about. 20,000 illegal haitian immigrants have descended upon the town of 58,000 People, destroying their entire way of life. This was a beautiful community, and now its horrible whats happened. Enrollment on the States Medicaid and Food Assistance programs have soared. Motor vehicle accidents have skyrocketed. A recording of 911 calls even though the residents are reporting the residents are walking off with the towns geese. They take in the geese. You know where the geese are . In the park, in the lake. And even walking off with their pets. My dogs been taken. My dogs this can only happen these People are the worst. As the a People of arizona understand better than anyone else under Kamala Harris our country is under a thing called invasion. Did you ever hear the Word Invasion . Just like a military its like a military invasion. Were being conquered and we are being occupied by a foreign element. All right, joining us now is national political reporter for politico, the great natalie allison. Natalie, its so good to see you. To you have a new piece up for politico. Its focused on Donald Trumps rally in arizona. Im just sort of curious. What are you hearing from People inside the Trump Campaign about this incessant focus on the allegations of pet eating, which is false, in springfield, ohio . Do they really think this is winning issue . Because it didnt work at the debate, but he appears to be going back to it at his rallies. Yeah, thanks for having me, sam. Theres sort of a mixed consensus in trump world. On the one hand, there is some concern this certainly is a distraction. The headlines that have come out of the debate, certainly again Last Night from the rally is about whether it is true and its not true theres any evidence of haitians in springfield, ohio, Eating Pets. And thats what trump continues to talk about and thats what the coverageal continues to be r the meantime. On the other hand, theres a sense its trumper and he says things all the time that arent necessarily completely factual, and People will move on. And no one is really getting upset in terms of the Viewer Audience Overf it. So theres a sense its not the worst thing he could do and theyre just going to make the most of It Right G now. But itsig something even befor Hisng Rally Yesterday in arizon that he went ahead and signaled he was going to keep talking about despite some republicans warning him to back off of it. He posted five different memes on truth social of these a. I. Generated photos of cats supporting him and being rescued by him. Really absurd stuff, but he seems be leaning into it when he could be talking about things that really are documented insprifield. As the governor noted the uptick in Traffic Incidents from People who may not have driving training, the strain on the health care system, the school system, things like that. You notice the sign behind him saying housing shortage, so they clearly want to focus on substances, but they keep getting distracted by these shiny b objects. I will just note there were a few intsa reports out of Springfield Yesterday about evacuations and Bomb Threats. Are there People in the trump orbit, maybe on the outskirts, who are fearful if they keep doing this something bad might happen . No, you know, its not something i think theyre taking thatth seriously at thiS Point. You know, their argument would be certainly as they argued that trump never told People to take violent Action And Something that happened there wouldnt be his fault. There were evacuations there yesterday. This is the E Kind of thing j. D vances Running Mate continues to dismiss as a joke even after he conceded there wasnt necessarily any truth. He didnt come out and say it was completely false but said it may not be completely true in terms of the hoax they perpetuated. To keep the memes. O yeah, keep the cat memes coming and trump himself has certainly continued to do that as well. Lets switch to Kamala Harris. Continues to draw huge Crowds Post D debate. Two rallies in north Carolina Yesterday. The Harriswalz Campaign haS Pledged to do a more aggressive strategy going forward. What does that look like when we say aggressive . Does it mean more rallies . Does it mean more Press Appearances . Obviously well get to this in a second, it doesnt mean with a second debate with trump necessarily. It certainly means moremp rallies. They did two Yesterday Evening in north y carolina. Its my home state, and i was talking to folks there yesterday who were stunned she decided for her first two rallies after the debate to be in North Carolina. Theres really the sense that democrats are trying to seize a state that several months ago didnt look like it waS Particularly in reach. Theyre looking at things like polling in the Governors Race where a number of polls are showing the republican re candidate, mark robinson, is as muchro as 10 points behind the democratic nominee. And thats a sign, you know, democrats are running with. And trump himself right after Thehi Republican Convention and after harris was named to be at the top of the ticket, he made a number of trips to North Carolina. This is aip state that months a no one really would have thought would have been one of the top battlegrounds where these candidates are going to be spending a lotre of their time. And its right on up there with michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, where theyre spending their time and money right now. Quickly before you go, i alluded to it but trumps now rejecting another debate with harris. I guess two questions. One, do you suspect he sticks to it, and what is your reporting telling you on the reaction from both campaigns on this decision . Its impossible to see if Hell Steak to it. Just within the course of 12 hours earlier this week he went back and forth he was going to debate,th he wasnt going to debate, hes not going to debate. Who knows . That couldte change. We still have other networks that arehe trying to make this happen, but in the meantime this is something the Harris Campaign is going to h continue to taunt him over in the same way that trump tried to Taunt Biden over not wanting to debate. This is something that they are certainly going to use. Trump doesnt have any polls showing that he won that debate, despite what hes saying. He posted a flood of Screen Shots of very unscientific Twitter X polls right after the debate was over showing that he won, but besides that theres not any evidence out there that the american People watched that debate and saw trump as any kind of clear winner, so at thiS Point, you know, it could be risky for him to go back on stage. He could change the narrative certainly if he as a good night, but we could see more g of whate saw on tuesday. How dare you malign the online News T Max reader poll, natalie.
