Americans for Prosperity Action, that's what we focus on; door-to-door, individualized texting efforts as well. President Obama said after the election, I expect for us to behave the same way President Bush's team did with us. One thing that we've done with the political unit at CBS News is pretty early on in April, we assigned everybody to cover battleground states remotely with the hope they will get to live there someday. I think any suggestion that networks, news organizations, aren't thinking deeply about these changes and what it means for our coverage, my experience is it's just wrong. People in the middle are different. When you see stuff online that looks fishy, don't forward it along. But he said, "But I am telling you my truth that it didn't happen.". We created a series for Dotcom called the CBS News COVID Chronicles, where twice a week, our campaign reporters focus on one industry that's been affected across two different battleground states. If we start with that assumption, maybe we'll be surprised. The headline of his story was how the media could get the election story wrong. Amy, Caitlin, we always obsess over the early bellwethers. But I also live in the real world, and I know that the President's constant stoking of conspiracy theories and baseless claims of fraud have an impact. This is what we're expecting. And how do you do that without allowing some of the charges that we're already seeing being thrown about- about fraud, illegal votes, those sort of things- dominating the conversation? What is unacceptable is to have the deck stacked against her. So, we would lose a great deal by not having the cooperation of the senior people, but I think we could rely on many of the career people who are true professionals, who would be totally cooperative with the new team and who have been with every team before. What also has traditionally happened is that women have not felt that they were in a position to defend themselves. That's Amy Walter of The Cook Political Report and host of public radio's "Politics With Amy Walter" and Tamara Keith of NPR. I spoke with AFP President, Tim Phillips, about their efforts. Like engage longer in conversations? That the most important thing we can do for people is conditioning them to the changes in the reality with regard to their lives and with regards to the voting process and the very systems of the election. Known as one of the smartest and most trusted journalists in Washington, D.C., Amy Walter is respected by politicians and pundits on all sides of the aisle. And breaking down the latest developments on the 2020 campaign trail, as always, it's time for Politics Monday. Americans for Prosperity, a Conservative organization funded by David Koch, is knocking on doors in swing states and supportive Republicans running in Senate and Congressional races. Vice President Joe Biden: This morning, all across the nation, little girls woke up- especially little Black and Brown girls- who so often feel overlooked and undervalued in their communities. Campaign 2020, we knew it was going to be tumultuous, but none of us could have predicted the twists and turns or what can really only be described as a national trauma. That's Amy Walter of The Cook Political Report and host of public radio's "Politics With Amy Walter," and Tamara Keith of NPR. Well, not for everyone. By the way, I think that's true. I still recall the meeting that President Bush convened, where he invited Senator McCain and Senator Obama to participate in a briefing with the Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, because he wanted to make sure that there would be continuity. You learn something, you don't learn nothing. We've avoided that for the last election cycles. Polly Irungu is our Digital Editor, David Gebel is our Executive Assistant, Lee Hill is our Executive Producer. We don't know that that's going to happen. Rick: I think any confidence that he picked up that we're going to get it, quote-unquote, "right" and that we're going to be totally prepared is because we're preparing now, not because the way we've always done it has worked. That they feel profoundly impacted by all that's happening, they're paying more attention for a sustained period of time more than they ever have, at least in my lifetime, and they do not yet know how we're doing. Valerie: Well, we were quite direct over social media, but I don't think it's going to be Tucker Carlson who listens to us. Here's what's happening, at least from what I'm seeing. I know what's [crosstalk]--. Bridget Bergin from WNYC is in, and I'm back on the weekend with you. So, I think the political reality, as well as what I hope will be the cultural change, is moving in a positive direction and we want to nudge it hard. Instead of one, at least give us two or three days and give everybody an ample amount of time to vote. I've probably knocked on, I bet over the last nine weeks, probably 3,400, 3,500 doors, I'm guessing, of swing voters. He in the announcement the other day, said-. We're not going to know how the story ends necessarily tonight." President Donald Trump: They need that money in order to have the Post Office work so we can take all of these millions and millions of ballots. So how do you guard against that, Rick, as you're talking about this narrative, this desire to use these early states or early returns or exit polls, to draw conclusions? We always know, when you're going from one President to the next, there's probably a little bit of awkwardness, but what was it like for you to come in? I think what my observation would be is that historically, women are treated by a different standard. There's a view out there that this is a base election. Yes, we've got a 10-point lead for a candidate in a key early closing battleground state, but this is what we think we can tell about that. Amy: With the electoral votes of Florida undecided, there was a drawn out battle that ended up at the Supreme Court where the recount was halted and George W. Bush was declared the winner. It's finally election day, we get to open up all the presents that have been under the tree this entire year; and to not be able to draw any conclusions about it seems like asking folks a lot. Amy: That seems really dangerous, given that we are likely to still be in the middle of a pandemic and an economic recession. Just yesterday, we sent actually one of my campaign reporters to Wisconsin to see what had changed since the primary where we saw long lines. Journalist 3: The Vice President has recalled the Governor and retracted his concession, saying that Florida is to close right now. We've been talking about expectations for election night and as always, we wanted to hear from you. Our amazing Producers are Amber Hall and Patricia Yacob. Can I go visit my elderly mom who is living in an assisted care center?" Either it's name calling or it's pejorative descriptions of their appearance, whether it's their clothes or their makeup or their hair, words are used to describe women in positions of power, seeking political office, it's a very different tone and meaning than when they describe men. We can do it by putting a spotlight on it. But if we're preparing for overtime in multiple directions, then I think it can be an exciting reporting opportunity. Maybe we'll be surprised at how normal the election seems and how early we get to go to bed that night. Amy: Thank you so much for taking this time. So, we will have that. While dysfunction and partisa… I can tell you at the doors, the vast majority- I mean, literally, 99%- do feel comfortable. That women- looking at the midterm elections, for example, we have more women now in Congress than ever before in our history- we are becoming a force to be reckoned with. See & listen to all 25 episodes of Politics with Amy Walter on Chartable. So this is very dangerous, and I think it's one of the reasons that Vice President Biden said that one of the first things he would do is ask Dr. Fauci to stay on because of the need for that continuity. Amy: After weeks of anticipation, Joe Biden made his pick official this week with the selection of Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. They're asking, quite directly, "Tell us how to get it right." Amy: The truth is counting mail-in ballots is much more time consuming than it is when people vote in-person, and regulations around when and how mail-in ballots can be tabulated lead to delays. And if so, you said you were going to hold media organizations accountable. Every Friday, Amy Walter brings you the trends in politics long before the national media picks up on them. I think not letting ourselves get lulled into the rhythm of a horse-race campaign is very important because these things are so complicated. Interviewee 8: My most memorable election night was my most traumatizing night, which would be 2016 election with Donald Trump. Accuracy and availability may vary. President Biden’s campaign message of unity is being tested in Washington during his first full week in office, particularly because Republicans and Democr… They haven't decided that yet. Of course, looming over all of this is the fact that we are about two months away from presidential election, an election that we might not know the results of on election night and which President Donald Trump has, without evidence, continually suggested could be rigged. And which of these candidates out there, whether it's for President or down-ballot, gives me the best chance to get my normal life back? Politics Monday: Tamara Keith And Amy Walter On 2020 Election (PBS Video) Video October 19, 2020 boomersdaily Leave a comment. Amy: Caitlin, do you think that you all have been effective at letting people know at this point what things could look like on election day? You know they're going to get asked of the Vice Presidential nominee, Kamala Harris. Interviewee 4: When I was in sixth grade, our teacher required us to memorize the names of world and local leaders, and so I knew exactly who Richard Nixon was. These swing voters, they feel profoundly impacted in a deeply personal way by the pandemic, the resultant economic crisis, and also by the racial justice and kind of civil of upheaval that we're seeing across the country. It could be up in the air. They missed these Trump voters, they didn't get out to the right places, talk to the right people. Visit our website terms of use at www.wnyc.org for further information. Tim: Even before the pandemic, our polling and focus groups showed us that Americans were feeling more isolated. Amy: I want to talk to you about something you also know very well and that's transitioning between Presidents and should Joe Biden win, what that might look like. I think our coverage probably fell into the same rhythm that you were talking about when Kentucky comes back and Amy McGrath didn't win, that it was, "Whoa, okay. That's because we're preparing and spending a lot of resources, putting people and data in the places that it needs to be to reflect these new realities. I think in the last election cycle, the fact that Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania went in the same direction kind of confirms that. So, I think for us, we just need to be there to cover all of these changes, and I think that the more we can do as the networks to prepare people, and I think there's a certain civics and education responsibility here. They are not viewing those three happenings through an ideological lens. So, we are confident we're going to get it right, but it's not a function of us assuming it's going to be a smooth night. Spokesperson 1: Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit here in Tallahassee shall immediately begin a manual recount. Now, in the meantime, they aren't getting there-- By the way, those are just two items, but if they don't get those two items that means you can't have universal mail-in voting. Now, though, they've got to find out, "Wait are my kids going to school next week or not? Lawmakers in Georgia are part of a national trend in which legislators across the country have introduced more than 250 bills that aim to restrict voting. We're going to circle back with all of them ahead of election day, and hopefully, be able to incorporate them into our coverage on just how their lives have changed, do they think things will get better or worse, and what their thoughts are not necessarily about the candidates, but just on federal government and what they are hoping for to turn things around. New York Public Radio transcripts are created on a rush deadline, often by contractors. What matters is how the person perceived it, and I hear you, I will do better." We can do it by pushing back, both in the press and directly. Amy: Have you reached out then to Tucker Carlson, you or the group of women who signed this letter? She's going to stand with me and this campaign and all of us are going to stand up for her. Known as one of the smartest and most trusted journalists in Washington, D.C., Amy Walter is respected by politicians and pundits on all sides of the aisle. 13 talking about this. I know there was another point that Ben Smith made in his column about avoiding the idea of precincts reporting. All rights reserved. Then we'll be able to tell you the story of how many voters to expect, but not how many precincts. Even if the first results come in and a candidate is up 10 points in Florida, there's still a lot we don't know about what votes are still out there. Now, obviously, we have three months, other things can happen, but the way that we have to cover the campaign has to reflect the way that people's lives have changed and their priorities have changed. I think as a country, we have to recognize that our discourse is divisive and polarizing. You're right. It was absolutely amazing. Sometimes we have a mask on, sometimes we have it in our hand in case they would rather feel comfortable with that. They're looking at complicated mathematical formulas that I can't begin to understand. But today, today just maybe, they're seeing themselves for the first time in a new way as the stuff of Presidents and Vice Presidents. Amy, I hope you'll come see this at some point for yourself. That includes coverage of all of these voting challenges that potentially could arise. Until then, take care. Senator Kamala Harris: Joe, I'm so proud to stand with you. The Future of American Politics from Politics with Amy Walter on Podchaser, aired Friday, 26th February 2021. Valerie: It's a really fair question. Amy: You mean more fluid on who they could vote for? Then I worked with her closely since she's been in the Senate and watched her throughout her Presidential campaign. They're thinking about what the facts are. Valerie: Not sexual-- Well, actually, you're right. The authoritative record of New York Public Radio’s programming is the audio record. It's up to you to own your power. I don't feel comfortable doing this." 50 episodes. That's not the case. Tim: We do find elevated levels of what we call completions; people who open the door and actually talk through the questions and answer the questions and have a conversation. Over the last few months, while watching the Primary process play out and candidates adapt to virtual campaigning, little alarms have been going off. Amy Walter: It's Politics with Amy Walter on The Takeaway. It depends on the state. Talk to us a little bit about the people that you employ to go door-to-door and their concerns about safety. I think it's going to be Tucker Carlson's advertisers who listen to us. She also served as the Host of Politics with Amy Walter on the WNYC’s The Takeaway (2017-2020), and … I was so excited. News did not come until the very wee hours of the morning. I think we need to avoid over-reading anything. Thanks so much for being with us. Amy: Election 2020 will not look like anything we've experienced before and that's sinking in for many Americans. You get those early results. Known as one of the smartest and most trusted journalists in Washington, D.C., Amy Walter is respected by politicians and pundits on all sides of the aisle. 00:54:22 - After four tumultuous years of the Trump presidency, President Joe Biden promised to put the chaos behind him and return the country to normalcy. I do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me whose sacrifice, determination and resilience makes my presence here today even possible. Valerie: Yes. Maybe Democrats aren't going to do as well as the expectations. I am absolutely confident that she can compete on an even playing field. I just have always thought that she would emerge successful from a very, very competitive field. Fortunately, because Vice President Biden was in office just four years ago and many of the career public servants are still there, they will have to just make do without any efforts coming from the Trump team. Valerie Jarrett: When I heard that Vice President Biden had selected Kamala Harris, was just elation. This is politics with Amy Walter on The Takeaway. I believe that we should fight for women's rights." The focus isn't on substance, the focus is on everything but substance. Now that we're in the pandemic, deep into- those numbers, they're higher, and so I do think there is significant benefit to being able having conversations that are a bit more intimate while still being socially-distanced, obviously, we do see value in that. Rick: Election nights, to my mind, have a narrative and the narrative is kind of a miniaturized version of the campaign. But I think as we head into the Conventions and then the fall and now that we know Joe Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, everything is going to refocus on how the pandemic is going to shape the election. Make sure to understand the rules around voting in your state. Every Friday, Amy Walter brings you the trends in politics long before the national media picks up on them.

Amy: A week later in Georgia, shuttered polling locations led to long lines and confusion. So, we prepared all kinds of transition memos and offered meetings, and basically it fell on deaf ears and far as I can tell, any document we prepared went into the trash bin without even being read. Spokesperson 2: Attempting to vote would instead end up leaving a dimple instead of punching a chad through. This has been Politics with Amy Walter from The Takeaway, signing off one last time. Amy Walter was the host of Politics With Amy Walter on The Takeaway (WNYC) from 2017-2021. Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, and Senator Mark Warner spoke with Amy Walter about whether or not Biden’s calls for unity will be ignored. I'll say, we have done a ton to cover the problems as they existed during the primaries, but I think coronavirus took precedent over the campaign in a lot of ways thus far. Going forward, I think that if past is prologue, Vice President Biden's team should not count on any cooperation from the Trump administration. This is what we see. Tamara Keith and Amy Walter on vaccine politics, voting by mail Sep 7, 2020 6:30 PM EDT I was happy for the historic moment, but I was also happy because I think that the combination of Vice President Biden and Senator Harris will be formidable in terms of their ability to win, but more importantly, I think that they will lead this country in a very positive direction that I sense we are hungry to have. And just tell people along the way, what we know, how we know it, what we don't know and how that impacts our decision-making. That's fine for Senator Harris, but we want to be the voices that speak up and hold, not just the media accountable, but anyone accountable who's using a double standard. We've seen that in the context of so many people of all colors and races and ages who have taken to the streets in the midst of a pandemic to protest about the tensions between police and communities of color. Amy: Tim Phillips is the President of Americans for Prosperity. All of us here know that it's more likely than not that we're still going to be counting ballots after election night. Tim: Yes.

So it means we need to be talking to people. Then of course, there was Bush v. Gore in 2000. It's easier than almost any other-- It's easier than going to Walmart because it's easier to ring the doorbell, step back six feet to eight feet onto the sidewalk, and we train our people that. When Obama won, I was at work. Whether it's their precincts all merged into an arena or they're voting by mail for the first time, they're volunteering to be a poll worker for the first time because we're expecting shortages, I think we just need to cover the story and be there and be prepared to tell the ways that this is evolving, just as we're all evolving during this pandemic, and having to adjust and be flexible. We have to be prepared for the possibilities, not the probability, that we're not going to be able to say, at some point in the wee hours, this person has been elected President of the United States. Tim: Absolutely. Share this on Facebook (Opens in a new window), Share this on Twitter (Opens in a new window), Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., arrive to speak at a news conference. Be well. But if any past is prologue, we're going to see national storylines emerge. Amy: All right. She will be more than willing to answer any questions coming in to that end. This shouldn't be about politics, this shouldn't be only women, this shouldn't be only Democrats. We need to be prepared for that to happen and if it does happen, we'll cover that story. Even seeing the announcement of Senator Harris as Vice President Biden's running mate, that is an American story with all sorts of layers to it and it's not the kind of thing that is conducive to flip quick analysis about blocs of voters. While dysfunction and partisan gridlock in … Back in October of 2018, 85% of registered voters felt the same way. [music] Copyright © 2020 New York Public Radio.

Tim: Yes, we wondered what the response would be. Obviously, you didn't defeat, but were replacing a Republican administration. I lived in New Orleans at the time going to a university, and I remember the more conservative kids freaking out and breaking bottles and stuff. In April, it was Wisconsin where partisan fights forced … We can't get into any kind of trap- and I know we won't, and I think all the networks are going to be thinking like this- we can't get into the trap of telling the story that we're telling people is it's going to end at 11:00 o'clock Eastern and you're going to know who won. The most concrete example I can give you of that is the report we prepared on how you would be ready for a pandemic. They haven't decided yet who's doing a good job, who's doing a bad job, are we through this, are things looking better? See historical chart positions, reviews and more. Rick: Yes. We ask; what's your most memorable election night memory and what are your expectations for election night 2020? It was really bad. I'm the person who wrote the Violence Against Women Act. I don't think it's appropriate to say that you're drawing no conclusions from early returns. So for that reason, they're fluid because the issue in this election, what I believe, is not any one issue. The people that are making the decisions of the network, quote-unquote, "calls" that are saying, yes, a candidate has won a certain state; they're looking at math, they're looking at data. She also co-hosts the "NPR Politics Podcast." We're going to see misinformation, which we haven't even begun to address.

Telephone efforts from local people- not some phone bank at a 800-center of thousand miles away, but local folks- and our goal is to reach swing voters.
