Harris Posts Huge Cash Advantage Over Trump
“Kamala Harris’s campaign raised more than four times as much as Donald Trump’s effort in August, capitalizing on the surge of Democratic enthusiasm during the first full month of her presidential campaign,” the Washington Post reports.
“But the super PACs aligned with Trump are continuing to raise large sums from high-dollar donors as the two candidates enter the final sprint before November.”
“Harris’s flush coffers have allowed her to build out a campaign operation with at least 2,000 aides and 312 offices across the battleground states at the same time she has held an advantage over Trump with her budget for television and digital ads. The Trump campaign, which is relying on outside groups to power its ground game, has not disclosed comparative details about the size of its operation.”
New Ways to Cast the GOP as ‘Team Misogyny’
“In a race between a Democrat who could be America’s first female president and a Republican who has been found liable for sexual abuse, the issue of gender was always going to be inescapable,” the New York Times reports.
“But this week, the subject surged to the forefront of the fall contest in new and vivid ways, as Democrats found fresh fuel for their argument that today’s Republican Party is disrespectful of women and their autonomy — sometimes with dangerous consequences.”
Said Vice President Kamala Harris: “It’s clear that they just don’t trust women.”
Vance Was Told Haitian Immigrant Rumors Were False

Harris Tells Wisconsin Rally to Ignore the Polls
Kamala Harris on Friday night told rallygoers in Wisconsin not to pay too much attention to the polls, The Hill reports.
Said Harris: “46 days until the election. And, what we know, this is going to be a tight race until the very end. So, let’s not pay too much attention to the polls because let’s be clear, we are the underdog in this race and we have some hard work ahead of us.”
Why Couldn’t Republicans Push Mark Robinson Out?
Jonathan Last: “Up until last night, the GOP in North Carolina could have replaced its gubernatorial candidate. Robinson is going to lose this race. He’s going to lose it so badly that he might pull the top of the ticket down with him. And he’s going to lose it dishonorably. He isn’t Barry Goldwater going down to defeat because of his principles.”
“What happened is that the Republican Party of North Carolina got hijacked by an insane person. And when the shit hit the fan, the NC GOP didn’t have the ability to push this insane person aside.”
“This is the difference between a healthy institution and a failed institution.”

Harris Slams ‘Trump Abortion Bans’
“Kamala Harris delivered an impassioned speech about abortion rights on Friday in Georgia, accusing Republicans who support abortion bans of causing unnecessary suffering as she described the far-reaching, painful and even deadly consequences of such policies,” the New York Times reports.
“Ms. Harris’s speech in Georgia, a top battleground state where she has narrowly trailed in polls, signaled a more combative and nimble approach in the closing weeks of the presidential campaign.”
Politico: “It’s the vice president’s latest attempt to hold Trump responsible for the near-total abortion bans that have taken effect in more than a third of states since Roe’s fall. For weeks, she has been highlighting stories of women who were denied abortions in emergency situations and families who have struggled to receive fertility care, like in vitro fertilization, to demonstrate the sweeping consequences of such laws.”

Quote of the Day
“That’s the ‘Roy Cohn School of Management.’ You demonize and demonize and demonize and give credit to nobody else. And that is the antithesis of good leadership. That’s the antithesis of good character. That’s the antithesis of being ethical. That’s who Donald Trump is. I’ve known him for 25 years. I’m never going to say we were best friends, but he is the most unethical… Lacks character, dishonest person… I’ve ever done business with or worked with.”

Trump Has No Plans to Pull Endorsement of Mark Robinson
“Donald Trump is facing calls both from his allies and from within his own campaign to pull his endorsement from scandal-plagued North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson,” NBC News reports.

North Carolina Governor Shifts to Likely Democrat
Cook Political Report: “Things already weren’t looking great for North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s chances in the race for governor.

“But damning stories out Thursday further imperil Robinson’s already slim hopes.”
A Last-Minute Effort to Mess With the Vote Is Underway
Rick Hasen: “With early voting already underway, one might think that the rules of the game for November’s election are set, and that it will all just come down to turnout, as the cliché goes. Well, not so fast. In North Carolina, Georgia, and Nebraska, at least, Republicans have been looking for ways to make last-minute changes to the rules to their advantage in the hopes of eking out a presidential victory for Donald Trump that seemed all but assured a few months ago.”
“Although most of them are unlikely to matter, the one in Nebraska just might work.”
