What happened at the Madison Square Garden rally and why is it being called an October surprise?
Absolutely the October surprise, especially like, you know, we can talk about this a little bit later, but like with the population in Pennsylvania.
talking as we come in on the music. Hey, everybody. So we're talking behind the scenes because it's very interesting. Josh, you know Josh Doss. He's my friend. He's a senior pollster at It Hit Strategies. Is it H-I-T or Hit? It's Hit, right?
It's Hit.
Yeah. He directs the organization's Economic and Black Voters Department. So, Josh, I'm glad you're here. Let me just set everybody up. Josh and I were talking about the is this rally at MSG that was, you know, with the derogatory language around Hispanics and Latinos, Puerto Ricans. If this is the October surprise, if this is really going to stick. And it is there's some information that shows that it is very sticky in the Trump campaign campaign. They're worried about it, although they're downplaying it. They're trying to pretend to at least. I'm in Washington, D.C. I'm doing a couple of talks here, a couple of focus groups. And so that's why you're seeing me. You're inside of my hotel.
How did Don introduce guest Josh Doss and set up the episode's focus?
And when was the last time you saw me in a tie? When was the last time you saw me in a tie? It's been quite some time. So I have to do this thing tonight. So I'm a little bit dressed up. So let me just set it up for Josh and I to talk about. Has Harris won black men back? That's the question. Now, we all know voters have been long, Black voters have been long loyal, the backbone to the Democratic Party. But polls this year have shown that some younger Black men do not feel the same degree of party loyalty that their mothers or sisters or aunts do, or even that they once... had before. However, that may be changing. Is it due to the outreach from the Harris campaign? The latest NAACP survey of registered voters found that Black men under 50 have decreased their likelihood to vote for Trump to 21%.
down from 27% in August and increase their likelihood to vote for Harris to 59% up from 51%. So thank you very much for that. And for the folks who are joining us on TikTok, thank you very much. Josh, I don't know if you know about TikTok, but they put little funny things on your head and whatever. I'm not sure if you're on. So I love you guys doing that. Are you on TikTok?
Yeah, I'm on TikTok. You're on TikTok.
You're all over the social. Hey, so quickly, before we get to the Black man thing, because I know that is what you're here to talk about, let's talk about something that I think is breaking as well, breaking news. This is from Nate Silver. Statistician Nate Silver has suggested that the negative publicity surrounding former President Donald Trump's New York rally could be good news for Democratic opponent for the White House, Vice President Kavanaugh. Kamala Harris. His Sunday rally in New York's Madison Square Garden drew headlines following this controversial remark made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, which is, you know, Kill Tony, a host of the podcast Kill Tony, who is known for his roast style comedy.
Anyway, it is showing that folks are saying, hey, this is messed up, man. And they're not really into it, even though they're downplaying it, saying it's just a joke, meaning on the Trump mega side.
How might the MSG racist remarks impact Latino and Puerto Rican voters?
What say you, Mr. Polster, Mr. Focus Group?
I think that it was a big mistake by the Trump campaign. I don't think that you need to be a pollster or political strategist to see that. I think especially with how many Puerto Rican voters are in swing states or just like generally in America.
100,000 in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, obviously, the goal here is to not release rhetoric like that in general. But if you're just talking about winning a campaign, it is also deeply not strategic for you to do that. And that's why you saw the Trump campaign try to walk it back as quickly as they could. And I don't think they'll be able to. I don't know if they have the time to do it.
Oh, wow. You know, I was watching our friends over at Pod Save America and they were saying each day that this goes on, they're losing a day and every single day or hour is critical at this point.
