to discuss, we're joined by our politics monday duo, amy walter of the cook political report with amyter, and tamara keith of npr. great to see you both. as you have seen now, the devastation from hurricane helene has found its way into the presidential race and politics writ large. tamra, you are following this earlier. trump alleged that governor kemp of georgia had trouble reaching president biden as he was trying to talk about aid and president biden was asked about this and he responded very angrily. tell me about that response and what it says about this moment. tamara: it is safe to say that what trump said was contrary to evidence. governor brian kemp of georgia said that he spoke to president biden yesterday on the phone and was able to reach him. president biden reassured him and said anything you need, just give me a call. president biden was asked about this in the oval office during his second event of the day, related to this disaster recovery. he said trump is lying, and he said it made him angry and the reason it upsets him is because he is not just lying about politic

that is amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter and tamara keith of npr.st heard the endorsements from a union don't necessarily mean the union members are going to go that way. but how is the harris campaign trying to turn all those endorsements into votes? tamara: it's pretty simple. those endorsements come with what we would call a ground game. that is union members out knocking on doors, campaigning with their family members, campaigning with their neighbors . for instance, the afl-cio endorsed by back then extremely early, very early. and when i talked to them about why they did that, they said, because that opens the floodgates to be able to begin doing that doorknocking and other on the ground campaign work. it really just, for democrats, magnifies their already existing infrastructure to try to reach voters where they are because the feeling about this election is he will be very close. it will be decided in key states where there are a lot of union members, and yes, the union members, the rank and file are split. in terms of who is knocking on doo

that's amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter and tamara keith of npr.see you both, as always. >> good to be here. geoff: tomorrow is the first and so far only debate between kamala harris and donald trump. this is a potential campaign reset moment as many voters tune in for the first time with 56 days left to go until election day -- but who is counting? tam, how are both sides preparing? >> one thing that has stood out to me hearing from both campaigns is they are both talking up donald trump's ability to debate. both the harris and trump campaign say he is hard to debate, that he has a lot of experience debating. they have different reasons for doing this, but essentially the harris campaign is sort of talking down -- they are not talking down her ability, but tempering expectations, because she is this person who is a former prosecutor, had standout debate moments. she in various senate hearings prosecuted the case, asking tough questions. her campaign is trying to say, eh, temper those expectations. trump is this unique person who is difficult to de

amy walter is away. great to have you both here.are heading into the final six week spring to election day. you've been keeping tabs on donald trump's travel schedule. what does that tell you about the campaign strategy six weeks out? tamara: what i can tell you is he's in pennsylvania. he was just in north carolina. he's going back to north again and he's also going to georgia. his strategy is this east coast strategy. if he can win in pennsylvania and georgia and north carolina, but especially pennsylvania, then harris has a very difficult path to the 270 electoral votes she needs. so, trump is focusing on these states. the fact he spending a lot of time in north carolina says he's worried about it because if he wasn't, he would not be spending time there. but he is. i think he spending more time there than harris since she became the nominee. geoff: we will talk a bit about north carolina in a second. jasmine, vice president harris said she accepted a debate proposal from cnn. donald trump has ruled out. what is the strategy? why

walter is here. amisha cross. and kevin madden with us. welcome to the three of you. amyested in who is paying attention to the debate tonight. this call that nearly a third of voters say this could be a determinative for them as they make a decision about who they will vote for. >> that's right. normally, we think of debates, especially a fall debate, as having that much of an influence on the course of the campaign, because voters until this time have seen a lot of these candidates. they have watched them through the primaries and seen them go back and forth. that is not the case. harris is pretty new to a lot of people, especially folks who are younger or voters of color. when the marist poll asked, will this debate affect your vote for president? a little over half a block voters, 45% of latino voters and 44% of the gen z and millennials said that it will. these are the voters that harris has had some trouble reconstituting into the democratic set of constituency that biden had in 2020. geoff: for harris, the challenges to address those voters who say they don't know
