The issues they clashed over and who passed or failed the fact check. A push to protect people who use prepaid debit cards. After over 20 years in congress, senator richard burr has been making washington work. For himself. Burr voted 5 times to raise his own pay, while his net worth has increased over 500 . Making over 3. 6 million. Insider trading by congressmen illegal, burr voted no, calling the law a waste of time. Thats how 20 years in washington has changed richard burr. Both Vice President ial nominees head to pennsylvania debate last night. As tracie potts reports, accusations and eruptions eclipsed the discussion of the issues. I dont have much of a choice left. Reporter heres why, back and forth for 90 minutes at times impossible to hear. Gentlemen, the people at home cannot understand either one of you when you speak over each other. Reporter tim kaine interrupted frequently to bring why wont he release the tax returns . We are asking about the business end. Reporter mike pence on Hillary Clintons emails. 250,000 people, 100,000 of them children governor that is absolutely false. You know that. You know that. Reporter each accusing the pence repeatedly denying trumps comments. He never said that, senator. Reporter they talked about the economy, russia, immigration, police shootings, and abortion.

Why dont you trust women to make a choice debate, americas first and last chance to see the Vice President ial nominees on the same stage. Tracie potts, nbc news, washington. A poll shows mike pence narrowly winning by about 6 points last night. The candidates frequently interrupted each other. Here is a look at some of the least accurate statements made. Bad. Cnn said that kaine overstates that position. Rating that false. And kaine said trump would engage in a risky scheme to privatize social security, and that is called mostly false. And the u. S. Created 15 million new jobs. That is only half true. And pence now, it was false to say iraq has been overrun by isis because Hillary Clinton failed to negotiate a status of forces agreement and that clinton and kaine wanted to expand obama care into a single tier system. And this is the only Vice President ial debate, of course, but trump and clinton meet keep them honest. Be honest about everything. The fight over the chip card readers is headed to court. Why Small Businesses are fighting the changes and what theyre accusing the major credit card companys of doing.

And richard burr wrote a plan to privatize medicare. New profits for private insurers would be as high as sixteen to twentysix billion. But seniors would pay nine percent more for medicare. Richard burr is looking out for himself when good, clean food comes to the door, do your best to contain your excitement. Now delivering to your home or office in raleigh. Panera. Food as it should be. So we have matthew all figured out. Right . Good. Then im going to take a nap. [laughter ] i know i will. This isnt a laughing matter and its devastating to see the flooding, the damage. Its really, really hard to see. It is, and you know, it may be that haiti is the one place that has the worst damage. They were so fragile there anyway and really took the brunt the category 4 storm surge and the strong winds. We knew it wouldnt be as big of a deal for cuba as it across the bahamas, some islands took a tough hit but as it stays off the coast of florida, they will have damage but no like haiti and it may take a right turn away from North Carolina. But it may not. When the computer models make a huge change like that, you have to wonder if its not going to flip back in another direction the next run. Were waiting on the next runs and, of course, the next track from the National Hurricane center but whats happens overnight last night is you can see the storm is trying to reform the center after coming across haiti here and cuba here. A little disorganized running across the land and encounters the friction and gets disorganized. It weakened, and it may be be with winds at hour later today and tonight and roughing up the coast of florida. As long as it stays offshore it stays in good shape but it wouldnt take much of a wobble to have more of a major impact. It will have a big impact in florida no matter what, and here it comes off the coast of North Carolina, moving much more slowly than yesterday. So this will be a saturday night thing off the coast of North Carolina and sunday night very little of North Carolina is now in the forecast. That said, well have impact, and you can see up to 10 of rain around wilmington with strong winds up to Tropical Storm force and heavy surf and beach erosion even if nothing changes. Heres a look at the computer model forecast. Look at how tightly packed the lines are until gets to the georgia and South Carolina line. There are differing solutions as to what happens with the High Pressure system. Will it stay down to the south and then move away . Well get a cold front coming in, and that cold front is kicking down to the south. And its differing opinions there as to what may help next. Were looking at heavy rain along the coast and a small carolina up to the wilmington area. As we come inland south and east of the triangle up to 3, maybe 1, 2 in places. But you can see that band is where we will have the heavier rain but not as heavy as it looked like yesterday where we were looking at 4 to 6 in parts of the viewing area. A gray morning. Fayetteville, 63 degrees and breezy, upper 50s to mid60s where the temperatures are sitting now. Probably wont warm up too much. Clouds will linger. Right now, High Pressure is north of us and feeding the throw from north to east. That will push matthew towards florida and then the High Pressure system may retreat in time for the trough and cold front and push the storm to the east. But left has to time out just lot of things may change in the next couple days. Today, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday we will have to see how much the storm moves. It looks like the totals may be less than yesterday, and an impact on the weekend plans, a potential of. 50 to 2 up to the virginia line and as much as 123 south of the triangle area. We will continue to watch this closy. Well have that for you on the noon newscast. Lena . Thank you, elizabeth. We look forward to that next track.

Burr edges out deborah ross. And sean haugh picks up 3 with 7 undecided. This is is within the polls margin of error. In the race for North Carolinas governor, a bit more distant. Roy cooper leads pat mccrory, 48 to 44 . Survey usa conducted new this morning, federal regulators are rolling out new rules to protect people who use prepaid debit cards and will have to provide information such as account balances, and fees will have to be more clearly labeled and protection for a lot of and stolen cards will be expanded. Next october. A lawsuit is moving forward over the credit card chip readers. A judge is allowing Small Businesses to sue Credit Card Companies for forcing them to use them saying that they are expensive and dont fully protect them from fraud and accuse Credit Card Companies of penalizing them if they dont upgrade. Mastercard said they expect to win in court. A fayetteville Radio Station east carolina Football Game because a handful of students refused to play the National Anthem and took a knee. The owner of the station calls it a shameful disrespect of the National Anthem. A former president. Ecu black union issued a letter in support of the protest.

So you can imagine what i thought when i saw donald trump say. I dont know what i said, ah, i dont remember that reporter he is talking about suffers from a chronic condition that impairs movement of his arms.

Students must be off campus by noon tomorrow. Police in charlotte released full videos from last months officerinvolved assessing keith scotts injuries and trying to stop the bleeding. The weather has taken a dramatic change in terms of the hurricane. Lets get the latest from elizabeth. Thats right. Its all about the track, and yesterday it looked like the track would bring it close to North Carolina if not inland. And such a dramatic change gives us a low confident in the forecast. If we continue to see the confident. Lets take a look at the track. The storm is moving away from cuba and haiti into the bahamas and likely to strengthen into a category 4 storm and brush the coast of florida past North Carolina and farther offshore saturday night into sunday. Well talk much more coming up in just a bit. Getting out the door, cloudy, and you might run into drizzle bryan . A new crash, South Greens Burg at carr street, traffic down to one lane.

We continue to track the changing path of Hurricane Matthew this morning. President obama will head to fema headquarters to get an update. The president was scheduled to do campaigning for Hillary Clinton but the track forced him to change his plans with four states in georgia, tybee island has people packing up and leaving, and Port Canaveral is closing down the harbor to cruise and cargo ships and recreational and fishing boats until the storm passings. This is the First Time Since 2004 that it has shut down operations because of severe mandatory Evacuation Orders. And elizabeth, updates for folks in South Carolina . They might not be getting as much of a pounding as expected. The change wasnt as dramatic for South Carolina as North Carolina. It almost comes up to the North CarolinaSouth Carolina line and takes a right turn. And as different as that is compared to yesterday t gives us low forecast. Well wait for a few more computer model runs. It will be interesting to see what the National Hurricane center does. Winds at 115 Miles Per Hour, a weaker storm than this time yesterday with 145 Miles Per Hour winds and another change were seeing is in the direction. This is the very latest.
