Transcript of Candidates back on the campaign trail, Trump says there will be no future debates

Race for the White House. Nielsen ratings are in for the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. They show 67.1 million people watched Tuesday's debate that's higher than the initial numbers put out yesterday by some 10 million viewers. It's also higher than the 51 million who tuned in to watch the debate between Trump and Biden back in June, but not as many viewers as the 84 million, which is a record who watched the 2016 debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton, also the 73 million who watched the Trump Biden debate in 2020. But it is important to note that Nielsen only counts people who watched on TV and not online or streaming. Both candidates are back on the campaign trail today. And in just the past two hours, Donald Trump said there will not be another debate between him and Kamala Harris. Alice Barr has the latest from Washington, Vice President Harris back on the campaign trail today. Working to move North Carolina into play as a new Quinnipiac University poll shows her pulling ahead in the state 49 to 46% within the poll's margin of error this election. And what is could not be more important. Former President Trump in Arizona looking to refocus on immigration with the budget, stay with the border. He's trying to turn the page from growing fallout over this viral debate moment in Springfield. They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. The former president spreading debunked conspiracy theories that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating people's pets. City officials adamant there's no evidence of that. The state's Republican governor backing them up. This is something that came up on the internet and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes while refocusing on the challenges posed by rapid population growth with as many as 15,000 Haitian immigrants in the US. Legally moving to Springfield in the past few years responding to local officials, advertising jobs and affordability advocates at a community center for Haitians telling NBC news, many fled violence at home. I got a friend calling me asking me if he has to leave because he's scared for real people feeling the effects of baseless allegations as undecided voters sort fact from fiction. They're looking for guidance and that was just kind of a far out their statement without some factual background. Many still looking for solid answers about how both candidates can help their everyday lives in Washington, Alice, Barr NBC News.
