You are looking at a live view of butler, pennsylvania where Donald Trump will take the stage within the hour. Three months after his first Assassination Attempt in july. In a dramatically different rent 2024 race against Vice President Kamala Harris. Now down to exactly one month of beef for Election Day. Meanwhile, the Vice President is in North Carolina tonight. Right now, getting briefed on the States Recovery from Hurricane Helene after touring the damage firsthand today we will hear more in a moment. Let us start in butler, pennsylvania. The venue where Donald Trump narrowly survived an Assassination Attempt back in july. Trump is holding another rally there right now. That is where Jake Traylor is standing by. Jake, tell us what you see there so far. Reporter back in butler for former president Donald Trump with that attempted assassination that took place back in july. There is a few things notable even just on the scene in terms of ramped up security. There are Shipping Containers mining the venue. That is to prevent a line of sight from any external person outside of the venue itself. Look around we see a ramped up amount of snipers and security in place. In terms of what we in space hearing, we have heard from the campaign. This will be focused on corey comperatore, who lost his life on that day. If you remember back in july, after the attempted assassination, we are promised from the campaign a toned down version of what we have seen before focused on unity and less divisiveness. That lasted for about a week and then at The End of the rnc Donald Trump gave his speech went back to his old self. We are being promised a celebration of life. Of course we will be tuned in to see what message and what Donald Trump we actually get to hear from. Thank you to Jake Traylor in butler, pennsylvania. Also having right now, Kamala Harris is in North Carolina where she is receiving a briefing of about the continuing Recovery Efforts that are occurring in communities across the state following Hurricane Helene. Antonia hylton is in North Carolina. Tell us what is the latest from her visit . Reporter we just got to hear her speak. She was meeting with survivors of all of the federal and local partners who are working what is proving to be an incredibly complex recovery mission, frankly. Not only did she sort of share words of support for people here she announced a new Disaster Declaration for another county, Mecklenburg County in North Carolina. Which is surely welcome news to people here. Every day, it seems, people are finding out a new layer of the reality on the ground here. That is because western North Carolina, it is geographically complicated. It has made the recovery challenging. People are going out on foot into committees where the roadways and bridges have been destroyed and then the national guard is taking multiple flights a day to try to get that Aerial View so they can see who is still missing because dozens are still believed to be missing. We know the Death Toll is likely to continue rising and we are well over 200 now. They want to know who needs water, who Cannot Leave their home and needs us to find them. Taking this into a conversation i had with one resident who has been struggling at times. It was at a Food Bank in the county earlier today. How do you feel about the Governments Response and support for people in North Carolina . They are doing what they can as fast as they can. You are talking about such a drastic situation going on that they really have to just do it in steps. I think they have responded quite well, just like the state and all the other agencies are doing the best they can as quick as they can. Reporter i think it is important to acknowledge that there is some Misinformation And Disinformation on the ground in North Carolina right now. We have been hearing from residents that there is fear that fema is going to cap the aid that they give to people at 750, no matter how much you have lost or even if it is your entire home. That is not true. We are hearing people who have heard some of the rumors spread by people on the right that the Disaster Recovery funds have been set to migrants instead. Those are two totally different operations and budgets from the federal government and fema. Right now there is a scramble happening of these emergency responders, these federal workers on the ground trying to just do the work they have to do but also combating misinformation to make sure that people do not hesitate to come to local centers to apply for aid because they were these lies and rumors or they do not come to a local Food Bank because there were about what might happen to them. They are doing this double work now. Is compounding the pain that is on the ground. Of course we have a situation where people have lost so much and they are in so much pain but they are still lacking water , connectivity, wifi, you can see how the gaps tend to form. It means that kind of Misinformation Takes hold now that is the next stage of the fight is to still do the recovery but make sure people understand what is available to them and it is here. We have seen it ourselves. And to politicize and manipulate when people are going through such a drastic and horrific part of their life from a natural disaster. It is just disgusting. Thank you, antonia helton, in North Carolina. We will keep you updated on the Vice President s visit later in this hour. From North Carolina, we now go to georgia. Joining me now is Democratic Congressman lucy mcbath. Congresswoman, it is always good to see you. Both President Biden and Vice President harris were in georgia this week were governor Brian Kemp says they have been, at least 33 deaths related to Hurricane Helene, including the youngest known victims of the storm, a pair of five week old twin boys who died in their mothers arms. As the tree fell in her bedroom in a small town near augusta. Nearly four dozens of the counties are under major Disaster Declarations while thousands remain without power in georgias eastern and southern regions. How are your constituents in atlanta doing tonight . Hurricane helene was so detrimental for so many people here in the State Of Georgia. I have just been heartbroken to see and hear the stories of so many that have been impacted. They have lost their homes. Their lives have been uprooted and businesses have been washed away. I did sign a leather to the present urging the administration to immediately make sure they are considering additional support for all of the affected areas that really need it. I have been grateful to work with my colleagues here in georgia. Both our senators and my congressional colleagues in the state to make sure that our committees are getting the aid that they need. There is still so much work that needs to be done. We are just continuing to make sure that we are doing what we can to these affected and expediting those resources as quickly as we can. Congresswoman, how concerned are you that the damage done by Hurricane Helene is coming so mole so close to Election Day will interfere for the states most affected . With four weeks left, what role can the federal Government Play in protecting access to voting as it renders eight at the same time . You pose a good question. We know that there has been a lot of movement towards Voter Suppression here. You are adding all the additional layers of concern that people are having about taking care of their families and their livelihoods and their homes in the wake of the hurricane. Those are additional stressors that will add to Peoples Ability to be able to vote. I do know that the administration continues to do what they can do. We know that Harris And Walz both have been here in georgia. They have been around the states and the country doing everything that they need to do. I am not a legal expert but i do know that what we have seen here in georgia, Donald Trumps acolyte, you know, on the State Election Board and they have been trying to pave the way for him once again to infuse chaos into our elections. With the added stressors of Hurricane Helene, that is just going to add more stress. I am the daughter of civil rights leaders and as i have said before, i was the child in the stroller at the March On Washington at 3 years of age. The rules that operate in a way that undermines all of the work that we have done here in georgia, all the work we have done around the country, we are not going to let anything undermine our ability to make sure that all of our citizens, no matter what circumstances they are in have the ability to exercise their right to vote. We must not allow any bad actors to tear our democracy apart and we will continue to do what we need to do to help those individuals that have been at this crisis with the hurricane to exercise their right to vote. Staying with the Election And Election interference. The national democrats about the joint lawsuit against doors maga republican over a new rule that the mans additional Polling Personnel in every county to hand count ballots following a machine count. Then there is a Fulton County just to block additional rule changes that could allow County Election officials to delay certification. Voter advocates and critics of the new rules say they are designed to benefit Donald Trump in georgia. We should add those critics include even some top State Republican officials. Are you concerned about these changes . If so, what worries you most congresswoman Amick Bath . I am very concerned about the changes. We know that lastminute changes really have great impact on the ability for people to exercise their right to vote. As i just said before, these lastminute changes are paving the way for trump to be able to pave his way to be able to, you know, create chaos in our elections. You know how close the election was for the biden ayres administration in washington before. We know what happened with the 11,000 Audit Vote before. We have seen this playbook before. We will continue to make sure we do everything we can do and everything we have done before to make sure that every individual in the State Of Georgia has the ability to access the Ballot Box. We are watching very closely. We have Election Attorneys here. We have people who are really volunteering in mass numbers to make sure that we have a fair and free elections and we will continue to do as we have always done. The rules that we see right now are undermining our ability to be able to do so but we will overcome those rules because we know how important it is that people exercise the right to vote. This is the bastion of the civil Rights Movement for so many icons fought so hard to make sure that people have access to the Ballot Box. We are going to do everything that we can to make sure that is possible. People gave their lives to give us access to the Ballot Box and to see this when you refer to the 11,000 votes, you are referring to former President Trump asking georgia officials to find 11,000 Audit Votes. That is part of the indictment from the State Of Georgia. Before we wrap up, the u. S. Added 254,000 new jobs in september. That is according to this weeks report. Unemployment sits at just 4. 1 . That is the biggest Job Growth since march. About 100,000 jobs more than what economists expected. Despite months of numbers like these, the economy continues to be a primary concern for voters. How does the Vice President beat back against the gloom and capitalize on these economic headways with just a month left to make her final pitch . I was a single mother for about 12 or 13 years as i was raising my son jordan. I know how important it is to make ends meet and to be able to raise your children and keep it on the table. The latest Jobs Report is overall really great news for our workers and for the american economy. It shows strength and it shows hope. That is exactly what Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are giving the american people. They are giving us hope. The Biden Harrison Integration administration is creating 60 Million jobs. These are the recent numbers that we have just been told. There is hope. There is a building of a strong economy going forward. Our work continues in congress to keep making sure that our economy and our Nations Economy is strong. That is our role. I have No Doubt that with the biden ayres administration has done, the foundation they have laid, it will be executed when she is president as well. This is good news for america. This is good news for our workers. I hope that we are able to continue to build upon what we have been doing. Thank you, as always for being with us. Lucy mcbath of georgia we are staying with congress were a handful of braces may determine whether republicans hold onto the u. S. House or it democrats will retake it. What of the Swing Districts is just miles from here in the lower Hudson River Valley where Mondale Jones is running to unseat the republican incumbent , mike lawlor. Who is under fire over black face that he took in 2006. Joining me now is the former New York congressman, jones. Running to represent new York 17th District in congress as a democrat. Thank you for your time. I have got to go right to it. You have a tight race that could help flip the house for democrats or not. Before we get to bed, your opponent, Mike Lawler has since apologized over recently unearthed photos of him in black face while dressed up like Michael Jackson for halloween in 2006. He said he would not do it now and that he was honoring Michael Jackson as a longtime fan. Still the Magazine Politico is reporting that lawler has failed to condemned racist language in public at least twice in the last month. Once an and Antisemitism Form were a Participant Use the n word, while addressing the congressman directly. And then during an appearance on the far right Radio Show where the hole suggested that White Supremacy does not exist but black supremacy does. What is your reaction, mr. Jones . It is part of a pattern. We saw just yesterday in which the hose, a different host, use just incredibly bigoted and racist language. For the most part the congressman did not push back on it. It is why you see the Naacp President say this is a pattern of behavior. It is not by Slave Event in 2006. As terrible as that was, everyone in 2060 that were in blackface is deeply offensive. It is implausible that he did not know at the time. In 2019 he called on then regina Governor Ralph Northam oak to atone for his sin of having the same thing. There were other people in lawlers parties who call on Governor Northam to resign on the basis that he was unfit to continue to leave. He has been cognizant that this behavior is unacceptable. He called on northam in virginia to apologize for doing what now he has been found to have done . To atone for it. He publicly criticized the governor in particular and for what it is worth, which i think is something, theres a lot of people who feel like mr. Lawler has not actually apologized for his conduct and what he is trying to do is say it is different from other people wearing black face. Which is not quite the apology that a lot of folks here in the lower Hudson Valley are wanting to hear from him. What an unequivocal condemnation of blackface and his role in having worn blackface in 2006. And he should also have someone save the nword at a gathering with talking to him and he did not condemn that. This week your campaign shared that it had raised nearly 3 Million in the third quarter of this year bringing your total fundraising to nearly 8. 5 million. Your opponent, Congressman Lawler has not received his third Quarter Funding numbers for your lace has been described as a tossup. Donors appear to be responding to you and you say his grassroots support that is driving it. What do you attribute that tech . We dont flip the 17 congressional district, we will not have a Democratic Congress next year for whatever comes next. It means we will want to have a prochoice majority in the house. Like the majority i was part of last term in the 117th congress but we will not have a pro Democracy Majority in january. I am so grateful to the people of the 17 congressional district. For i was born and raised workable leaving. These the same folks who elevated me from poverty to the halls of congress in the first place. Back in 2020, before New Yorks disastrous redistricting in 2022. People all throughout the nation understand the existential states that my opponent like lawler , he pretends to be of moderate on television but he both just like the extreme maga republicans there will be if we do not do something with it congressional district, a national Abortion Ban if Donald Trump were to return to the white house. We have to do what we can in the lower Hudson Valley and the state of new York And Other Races to make sure that we make Hakeem Jeffries speaker. So we have a safeguard against a project 2025 agenda of which Donald Trump would advance if he were to return to the white house. Monday marks one year since October 7 attack on israel by hamas. And your new York Governor Kathy Hochul has called for state and local Law Enforcement to shore up security. After multiple Bomb Threats were recently reported by synagogues in the state and in advance of Mondays Commemoration and mass protests expected in New York city. None of the Bomb Threats were found credible. What is your message to the Jewish Community in your district and elsewhere this weekend . My message to the Jewish Community is that i am going to continue to stand with you the way ive always did with you. I was privileged to represent one of the large jewish committees of any Hash District in America Last Term im seeking to do that again. It is important that we have elected representatives and people of the conscious joined with the Jewish Community in combating antisemitism. Which we have seen on the rise in this country since 2016. Of course, pushback on this narrative that somehow, you know, what happened on October 7th is something that, you know, was not a Terrorist Attack. It absolutely was a Terrorist Attack but it was the worst assault on jewish people since the holocaust. We need to be extremely clear on that point. We have to make sure that we got houses of worship that have the resources to fend off the kind of craziness that we have seen in the form of these threats. Is what my record shows and what i will conti
