now Trump is explaining why he doesn't want another debate by saying when a prize fighter loses a fight the first words out of his mouth are I want a rematch and Trump claims that polls clearly show that I won the debate for the record The One National post- debate poll we have so far tells a very different story according to morning consult before the debate Harris was leading nationally by three points within the margin of error on the day of the debate Harris has lead widen to Four Points and after the debate Harris's lead widened to Five Points but yes Donald Trump says he doesn't need another debate because of how clearly he won the first and second ones because we've done two debates and because they were successful there will be no third debate it's too late anyway the voting's already begun on at least one of those points Trump is right the voting has already begun and it is about to begin in some of the states that are going to decide the election like Pennsylvania which again starts its early voting next week so without any more debates on the horizon the question for the Harris campaign is how do you reach those voters before As Trump put it it's too late well one way is through ads today the Harris campaign announced that in the 24 hours after the debate Harris had her best fundraising day since the launch of her campaign the campaign says it raised $47 million in 24 hours and that could help bolster the $370 million the Harris campaign has already committed in TV and digital adbis that are going to be running from Labor Day to election day and those ads will keep the memory of Harris's Victory on the debate stage very much alive the Harris campaign today announced that it is going to release a series of ads highlighting footage from that debate to get Harris's performance in front of as many voters as possible here is the latest one of those ads which the campaign released a few hours ago I want to turn to the issue of abortion for 52 years they've been trying to get roie wade into the states I did a great service in doing it it took courage to do it and the Supreme Court had great courage in doing it I have talked with women around our country you want to talk about this is what people wanted pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage being denied care in an emergency room because the healthc care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she's bleeding out in a car in the parking lot she didn't want that her husband didn't want that a 12 or 13-year-old Survivor of incest being forced to kill carry a pregnancy to term they don't want that I think the American people believe that certain freedoms in particular the freedom to make decisions about one's own body should not be made by the government I'm kamla Harris and I approve this message beyond the ads the Harris campaign is planning to meet swing state voters by doubling down on retail politics today Harris's running mate Tim wall was in Michigan Second gentleman Doug M mhof did events in both Nevada and Arizona and vice president Harris herself had two rallies in North Carolina and I know you might be thinking North Carolina Democrats have not won North Carolina in a presidential election since Barack Obama in 2008 and they hadn't won it before then since Jimmy Carter in 1976 but the Harris campaign is making a big bet that North Carolina is in play this year according to Quinnipiac polling this week Harris is leading Trump in North Carolina by three points that is within the margin of error but still three points North Carolina an official with the Harris campaign told NBC news that the Harris campaign has set up 26 field offices across North Carolina and that since Harris became the nominee more than 20,000 North Carolinians have signed up to volunteer for the campaign so again I know we are 54 days out from November 5th but the first ballots of the 2020 24 election were cast today this is a marathon but it is also a Sprint it's time to turn the page Turn the [Music] [Applause] Page we are ready for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic optimistic about what we can do for our country together I will always put country above party from the courthouse to the White House I have always fought for the people always fought for the people North Carolina we have 54 days until election day 54 days and with your help we will win we will win joining me now is Michael Tyler the communications director for the Harris walls campaign Michael thank you for joining me and I know it is very very busy and I appreciate your time in advance um let me first just ask about the the second debate with Donald Trump for vice president Harris what Donald Trump is calling the third debate are you surprised that it's an a firm no from the Trump campaign given the fact that Trump himself acknowledges that the loser often wants a rematch and do you think it is a firm no uh well listen thank you so much for having me this evening I'm not quite certain that it's a it's a firm no listen I mean Donald Trump also said for the first debate with the vice president that he was happy with uh unmuted microphones but his team overruled him so we'll see if that happens again uh the vice president has made her position clear she thinks that the American people uh deserve to see once again what they saw on the debate stage uh on Tuesday night right which is a very clear choice in this election and so uh whether or not that happens whether Trump ultimately agrees to do so we're going to make sure uh as you were discussing that from now until the election uh we bring that same split screen to the voters where they are on the ground and on the airwaves we're going to make sure every day between now and November 5th they understand uh the very clear choice in this election between the vice president who's fighting for them who's going to stand up uh to provide for an economy where people have the opportunity to actually get ahead instead of just get by she's going to contrast that with Donald Trump's uh disastrous economic policy on the issue of abortion that you just talked about where we're running a new ad she's going to make sure that they understand that Donald Trump is the one responsible for the horror that is playing out in dozens of states with Trump abortion bans across this country and that she's the leader who can get us out of this mess and restore row she's going to make sure that on every single issue uh the American people fundamentally understand the choice in this election um I want to go back to a lot of that but just because you opened the door to maybe this not being airm no on a second debate with Trump are you guys still negotiating with the Trump campign campaign on the terms of a debate or have those negotiations ended no listen we're open to having conversations about a second debate in October we think that the American people deserve to see that uh we we had a very clear choice on the stage uh on Tuesday night and we think that if Donald Trump is willing to do so uh that they should have another opportunity to do that so we're entertaining offers we are having those conversations uh we very much look forward to debating Donald Trump again in the month of October we think that the American people deserve to see that before uh everybody has the opportunity to cast their ballots on November 5th Michael you bring up the the abortion ad that we just played on the air and I wonder if you can talk a little bit about how the campaign is seeing that issue in terms of driving turnout and also what you have been hearing from constituents about the things Donald Trump said on that stage on on Tuesday night yeah I think what a lot of Voters heard Donald Trump say was that what he's been saying out at the magar rallies for months now but he hadn't necessarily said it in front of a mainstream audience right this is a guy who proudly takes credit for the role that he played in overturning roie Wade but pointing a majority of the justices that overturned roow with the dobs decision uh somebody who uh takes credit for these Trump abortion bans that are playing out in over 20 States across the country uh the impact that that is having Beyond simply abortion right the threat that we have now to fertility treatment in States like Alabama which you mentioned is voting starting today and what they saw on the other side was uh the vice president who made very very clear a who is responsible in Donald Trump but B how we get out of this electing her and making sure that we restore Rose so that woman can make uh their own choices about their bodies moving forward this is a fundamental issue of freedom in America and so uh what we're hearing and what we've seen from voters across the country that uh this is not a partisan issue I think it's regardless of ideology you see women and Americans across the country understanding this as an issue of fundamental Freedom uh our dials for example that we were running during the debate this was one of the most powerful moments among undecided voters in battle States so it's going to continue to be a very resonant issue with the voters and we're going to make sure that they saw that they continue to see The Exchange that took place on the debate stage on Tuesday yeah I'm sure I'm sure you are uh let me ask you two events in North Carolina some people are scratching their heads and I'm sure there's some Democrats out there worried about an ambiti a more ambitious map what do you say to people who are a little wary of going beyond the blue wall States and and you know the strategy behind having not one but two events featuring the vice president today in North Carolina no listen we've been very clear about our path to Victory uh from the beginning of this campaign it is inclusive of a blue wall States uh Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania but it's also inclusive of the sun Bel States right out West Nevada and Arizona and then in the Southeast Georgia and North Carolina and that's why uh I think the vice president's travel coming off of this debate is reflective of that uh she's in Charlotte in Greensboro today in North Carolina tomorrow uh she's going to Pennsylvania johntown wilbury and we're making sure that we when we go to of these Battleground States uh we're making sure that we touch every single part of the state right that's tomorrow we're not simply spending time in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh which we travel to often and will continue to do so uh but we're making sure that we're tapping in uh to other parts of the state that Democrats haven't traditionally campaigned in it was the same thing in Georgia on the bus tour uh we're proud that this is the first Democratic campaign in 30 years since Bill Clinton to to campaign in Southeast Georgia and so we're going to do more of that tomorrow we're going to keep doing it in the weeks to come uh because this is a margin of error race that was the case uh before the debate that's going to be the case after the debate and for us margin of error really comes down to margin of effort and so you're going to see vice president Harris Governor walls this entire campaign apparatus kick into high gear to make sure that we communicate with every single voter that is going to determine the pathway to 270 electoral and that'ss across all of our Battleground States margin of error being turned into margin of effort okay Michael Tyler communications director for the Harris walls campaign thanks for your time sir really appreciate it thanks for having me we got a lot more coming up tonight including the one
