Killed. Reporter and now theres an active Man Hunt going on in birmingham to try to track down those suspects, they are hoping they can go through the Surveillance Video from the cameras in these local businesses to help find that vehicle and the suspects. Extraordinary, thank you so much for that. The outlandish thing that Donald Trump said this past week to jewish voters, how it is playing on this Voting Block in the next hour. Good day to all of you from msnbc in new york, welcome everybody, we are beginning with decision 2024, and with 44 days until the election, Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump, 49 , the poll also showing Harris Greening Ground gaining ground, hurricanes were pointed out on meet the press this morning. This is trump versus biden, and this is harris versus biden, harris still has an advantage on the economy. It used to be 35, look at this One, we talked about age being such a big issue, trump had a 29. Advantage over Joe Biden and the necessary mental and physical health, now harris is over trump. The economy is most important to voters, democrats say harris should do more to distinguish herself from President Biden. EveryOne in the Republican Party say her supporters are trying to blame him for her problems, i love the president and i respect him that i would have handled these tough Issues in a different way, heres how i would lead, i think that would be incredibly powerful for her to say and i dont think it would turn off democrats. Today, harris is in new York City for an event, her campaign announced saturday the acceptance for the Debate on october 23rd. Trump responded, he is not much interested in a rematch but democrats saying trump is backing out because he knows he lost the first One. He lost, and he knows it and he is afraid of being humiliated again, because We Saw what Donald Trump represents. You watched that Debate and the bigotry that he engaged in, the people of america, the people of georgia want somebody who is focused on them. We have reporters and analysts in place covering these developing Story Lines and we are going to start with Emma Barnett in wilmington, North Carolina. How likely is another Debate to influence voters now that voting is already underway . That is hard to say, i will tell you that i spent a lot of time traveling all across the country talking to voters about how they feel about the selection and a lot of people have already made up their minds, finding an undecided voter is like finding a unicorn, we did a panel on Debate Night at Nbc News and after the Debate, while One was leaning towards harris, One was leaning towards trump, all three pulled out truly undecided. Some think that is a good thing because she is still working on her Name Recognition among voters, whereas a lot of voters already have a sense of their feelings toward Donald Trump. Take a listen to what trump said about whether or not hes going to participate in the Debate. The problem with another Debate is that it is just too late, voting has already started, she had the chance to do it with fox, fox invited us and i waited and waited, and they turned it down. But, now she wants to do a Debate before the election with cnn because shes losing. She has One Debate, ive had two, it is too late to do another, it is too late, the voting is cast. Reporter as you heard, Donald Trump said he believes it is too late to Debate because voting has already been cast but it is worth noting that in 2020 against Joe Biden, he did hold the Debate on October 22nd with biden after early voting had started in some states. The fact is, it started in virginia, minnesota, south dakota, we have another 47, is this argument going to hold water much longer . Reporter it is hard to say because trump supporters are loyalists but what i will point out is when i was talking to trump voters at the rally yesterday, they had mixed responses when asked whether or not he should Debate. Some really want to see him do another Debate, others dont want to because they feel he was treated unfairly, that they felt like it was three versus One Debate, and some people said it should be trumps decision and left it at that. Thank you for sharing that with us. Lets bring in my panel, the head of the vote save america along with political commentator, ashley oates, good to see all of you and i want to ask quickly about the chance for another Debate and will we see One . Do you want to see One . Good afternoon and thank you for having me, i would love to see another One, i thought the last One was great, i know we didnt get to talk about it last week because of Breaking News but the last Debate, Vice President harris had the opportunity to teach the country more about herself and lay out the policies that republicans have said she didnt have. But, im curious, i actually dont know what Donald Trump is going to do, right now hes saying no and hes making excuses. But she really gets under his skin as We Saw in the last Debate so she might do that again and he might cave against the wishes of his campaign. Ashley, do you want to see One . Last week i would have said there is no upside for harris to Debate again because she was the clear winner but i think now with the recent polling from nbc and seeing Fundraising Numbers coming in, she fund raised more than 41 Million in the 24 hours following the Debate compared to trump. So at this point, she has outraised him by four times as much so it is very clear that he wasnt getting that much of a Fundraising Bout from that Debate, which is probably why hes afraid and his donors are afraid, if he gets on the stage again, and she has closed the gap with undecided voters which is exactly what she needed to do, her favorability is up by 16 points following that Debate as well. I think this election, the democrats are on offense and republicans are on defense, this is why he is scared, so i would love to see another One and i think the numbers are trending in the democrats direction should she choose to Debate again, which she already has and he scared to. Okay, lastly, christina. I absolutely want another Debate, most importantly the american people deserve another Debate, you saw two totally contrasting visions for our country. Harris had a clear Vision And Outline about how she was going to strengthen the economy, secure the rights to Abortion Access for the women like me that live in a state where our rights have been rolled back by 50 years, and Donald Trump Who Ran For President Three Times and couldnt even talk about his real policies, that he had a concept of a plan and how to deal with making healthcare more affordable. I need, just chaos on One side and clear command on the other, we want another Debate. I dont think we are going to get One because trump is scared. That said, we have 71 of voters who say their minds are made up. Is that less than you expected by now . Is there enough to say that harris has a clear lead . Im actually surprised at that number, i think it is kind of low given how polarized our country is. What i will say is i think it really demonstrates that Vice President harris has an opportunity to grow more. We have seen Donald Trump hit his ceiling as these results have come out but as the Vice President has been able to introduce herself, her policies, people are taking to her. To me that just shows that maybe a little bit of that polarization is loosening up enough because people are really concerned about someOne like Donald Trump going back into the white house. And One thing i had for the people watching, if you really care, it shows that everyday matters, the Vice President got into this race towards The End of july and we have seen a tremendous amount of gains from her overt President Biden who was at the top of the ticket before and i think that the straits that every single day, every moment matters. If anyOne is interested in joining us and making sure that she runs in november, i would encourage you to go to vote at save america. Com and help us out. Ashley, in January Trump lead biden by 22 points on the economy, he led by 35 points on securing the border, now it is 21. Is the messaging from Harris Working and how does she tighten these margins . I think it is working and i think her team strategically knows that they need to position her as a leader when it comes to the economy. Her biggest challenge would be distancing herself from the biden administration, so i think that there is a bit of a pathway forward for her by talking to middleclass Working Voters which is exactly where biden had some strong support in 2020 but you are seeing a lot in the polling showing that over 60 of americans are feeling that pinch, whether it is the inflation or wallets tightening as we are facing economic Issues. That is her biggest challenge and how she definitely will handle that moving forward, i think we will see in the coming days with her advertising as well as more conversations that she has with voters but One thing i will say on the undecided point, i did see in Instagram Video of Tim Walz on the Campaign Trail talking to undecided voters which is so incredibly smart and i love that this campaign is doing it and they are taking this seriously and they are showing that even though they are closing the gap, there is still work to be dOne, especially when it comes to the economy and young voters and young families. Which i want to pick up on right now with you, because the biggest change is among young voters, they have been essentially split between biden and trump, now they back harris by 23 points. Heres the question, will these young voters turn out, what do you think . I think young people are absolutely going to turn out this election, from being on the ground in Michigan And Pennsylvania the last few weeks, and other key states, there is so much energy and this is partially what has the Trump Campaign so nervous, young people turned out in the highest number in american history in 2020 helping to Elect Biden and harris, and in 2022 when everyOne said it was going to be a Red Wave across the country, young women turned out in such high numbers for democrats that it canceled out the republican vote, this is the largest and most diverse population and the vast majority of them have a totally different vision for the country than the One that trump offers. He is pointing to biden for being the out of touch, older candidate, now he has become that candidate for the younger people. There is a lot more ground that can be made up and harris is the right candidate to do that.

New Polling Shows Vice President harris leading former President Trump on the issue of abortion by 21 points and harris is continuing to keep it at the forefront, this past week the Vice President sat down with Oprah Winfrey and spoke with the family of Amber Thurman, a Georgia Woman who died after the hospital delayed treating a rare abortion complication. Harris highlighted the issue during remarks in georgia. This is a Healthcare Crisis and Donald Trump is the architect of this crisis, he is proud that women are dying . Proud . That doctors and nurses could be thrown in prison for administering care . Lets bring back my panel, the death of Amber Thurman is highlighting the issue of abortion bands especially when it comes to that very gray area of exceptions. Is that an important aspect to focus on for voters, just referencing the Nbc Poll it came in fifth place of all the top Issues. This is going to remain to be an important issue for voters, i know that you have this up on the screen where abortion has ranked fifth but weve had multiple elections since roe was overturned, where voters said this is important to them. This we have seen as an issue that brings voters out and pushes them to make decisive decisions in the Voting Booth. I think having these really pointed tragic stories that have come out in the past week, to demonstrate the real consequences of banning abortion around the country are going to be just another reminder for voters that this is something that is very important and can affect them and their family in their everyday lives. Ashley, only 6 of voters said that abortion was the most a an issue, that is unchanged from april but will that disproportionately drive turnout, and lead democrats to over perform as we have seen in the past couple of years, or do you think it is potentially fading it from the front of mines . I think this is the biggest issue in this election for a couple of reasons, this is the first president ial election since roe was overturned, so this is a referendum on that and i think voters will remember that at the Voting Booth and again, The Point that she just made, of course the economy is important and it is important in so many ways but so is Abortion And Healthcare access. And for women like myself and for my daughter, this is something that i do have grave concerns about if republicans remain in control. And flipflopping on the issue is probably the most concerning because there is no clear pathway forward but what we do see are women dying as a result of not having access to care. So i think again, this is going to be a big issue by november, so we will see a big shift in the polls, or at last, after people have voted, this is going to be in the top three Issues on Election Day. Interesting. Christina, harris leads by 21 points with women, how important is that Margin Difference . We know that in some of the young people, latinos, african american, this is a real advantage that harris has and of course One of those driving Issues is abortion. People like to say Elections Matter and some people will say i dont really notice the difference when who is in charge but ask women in my state or ask the Family Members of april or her son who will never be able to raised by his mother and left when he was six years old, something that was totally preventable. These elections are Life And Death circumstances for people. And i also think there is polling we have seen with young women and young men, and in the last election, polling showed that two out of three young women said abortion was One of their top Issues in the past election and we didnt see that with young men. But we are starting to see the young men saying abortion is a very important issue for them. But they are seeing the consequences of having Abortion Access taken away from a third of women across the country. Im curious, are you seeing in that senate race, does Colin Allred have a legit chance of beating Ted Cruz . Ted cruz is probably the most unpopular senator, almost wholly disliked by the people of texas and allred is making huge inroads and republicans are attacking latino voters, young voters come a civil rights organizations, counties that are doing basic registration because they are terrified that if People Turnout in this state, they cannot win because they have long held power with Minority Rule instead of Majority Rule and they would like to keep it that way, they are trying every which way possible to make sure people dont turnout because they know they will turn out for Colin Allred. Does this speak to a larger strategy to broaden the Campaign Field and do you sense this is working quest mike absolutely, im from a pretty small town can you hear me . Sorry. We can hear you okay. Great, Sorry about that. Im from a small town, creekmore, North Carolina and we didnt even have sidewalks when i was growing up and those are the kinds of towns that dont often see president ial candidates come through so this Bus Tour will be able to raise the issue of abortion but is also going to give a lot of voters who never see either candidate the opportunity to hear directly from the campaign and feel like their vote is actually being worked for and not just taken for granted, and states around this country, theres a lot of states that will come down to really small margins and those states like pennsylvania and North Carolina , it is going to come down to what happens in the rural parts of the state, big cities will drive a lot of turnout but even if you dont win the rural parts, being able to drive down the margins in those areas will make a difference. So i think it does speak to a larger strategy of trying to reach more people and not relying on a certain group of voters or taking any other votes for granted. Okay, that Nightmare Scenario i mentiOned, the question will go to you, ashley, nebraska is One of two states that doesnt have a winner take all system, nebraska has One electoral vote that typically goes democratic, republicans want to change that, meaning all of the electoral votes would go to trump and that creates this possible scenario of 269269 tie so the election would be getting trump the victory. How much is this a real concern for democrats . Are people talking about this . Im not sure it is talked about as much as it should be which is the fact that there is this Ground Game that is going on behind the scenes in the Republican P
