While losing the debate, Trump also lost Republican control of the 'family values' narrative

C1 >>> DURING LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS ASKED ABOUT HIS ROLE IN OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE TRUMP ESSENTIALLY TOLD AMERICA, YOU'RE WELCOME. >> I DID A GREAT SERVICE IN DOING IT. IT TOOK COURAGE TO DO IT. AND THE SUPREME COURT HAD GREAT COURAGE IN DOING IT. WE'VE GOTTEN WHAT EVERYBODY WANTED. DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS AND EVERYBODY ELSE AND EVERY LEGAL SCHOLAR WANTED IT TO BE BROUGHT BACK INTO THE STATES. >> HERE'S HOW VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS RESPONDED TO THAT. >> 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. THEY DON'T WANT THAT. >> JOINING ME NOW IS PRESIDENT AND CEO OF REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM FOR ALL. MINNIE, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME TONIGHT. SO, AMANDA BECKER IS A REPORTER FOR THE 19th. AND SHE TWEETED YESTERDAY NIGHT THAT GOOGLE ANALYTICS E-MAIL THAT SHE RECEIVED SHOWED THAT ABORTION WAS THE TOP SEARCHED ISSUE IN EVERY SINGLE STATE OTHER THAN OHIO WHERE TRUMP SAID THEY'RE EATING CATS AND DOGS DURING THE DEBATE. THAT TO ME SAID THE ABORTION THING RESONATED IN LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE. >> YEAH, TRUMP TOOK A COMPLETELY STRAIGHTFORWARD QUESTION AND TURNED IT INTO A COMPLETELY UNHINGED RANT. I TRIED TO GO BACK AND WATCH IT OVER AND OVER TODAY TO MAKE SURE I COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING AND LET'S BE CANDID. IT WAS VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE WAS SAYING. WHAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY SMART VICE PRESIDENT IS SHE WAS ABLE TO SORT OF DISSECT. THIS IS THE MISINFORMATION. THIS IS THE HATE. THIS IS WHERE YOU DON'T SHOW COMPASSION. AND THEN LET ME SHAME YOU THEN LET ME TALK DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THAT'S WHEN YOU SEE THE GOOGLE ANALYTICS, I'M SO GLAD AMANDA TWEETED IT. NEW YORK TIMES JUST WROTE A REPORT THAT FOR WOMEN 40 AND UNDER IT'S BECOMING THE TOP ISSUE OVER THE ECONOMY AND IT'S TRENDING ACROSS ALL DEMOGRAPHICS. YOU'RE SEEING THE DATA, YOU'RE SEEING THE POLLING. THE IMPORTANT THING THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN IS KAMALA HARRIS NEEDED TO NAIL HIM ON THIS AND SHE NEEDED TO DRAW THE CONTRAST AND SHE DID IT. >> SHE DID SOMETHING. AND I TOTALLY AGREE, THE BEST YOU KNOW, ABORTION JOURNALIST SUCH AS IT IS IN THE COUNTRY. SHE MADE THIS POINT. HARRIS DID SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNTHINKABLE YEARS AGO. SHE RECLAIMED FAMILY VALUES ON ABORTION. WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAW IT WASN'T JUST TO ALLOW TRUMP TO FRAME THE CONVERSATION BUT A REMINDER THAT WE AS IN THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONES PROTECTING AMERICAN FAMILIES. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. MAYBE NEXUS NEVER THAT YOU COULD FRAME THE ISSUE OF CHOICE WITH FAMILY VALUES AND I THINK SHE DID IT MASTERFULLY. >> I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER SEEN THIS. A FULL 10 MINUTES ON NATIONAL TELEVISION ON ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM. AND SHE BROUGHT THOSE STORIES TO THE NATIONAL STAGE. AND THIS IS SOMETHING IT'S, AN UNTOLD STORY ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS. SINCE THE DOBBS DECISION SHE SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS TRAVELING THIS COUNTRY. MEETING WITH THESE WOMEN. MEETING WITH THEIR DOCTORS. THE FIRST VICE PRESIDENT TO VISIT A PLANNED PARENTHOOD. DIGGING IN DEEP WITH STATE AND LOCAL LEGISLATURES AND ATTORNEYS GENERAL TO FIGURE THIS OUT. ROLLING UPPER SLEEVES AND IT ALL PAID OFF LAST NIGHT. >> I GOT TO ASK BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS POLL. THE DAY AFTER THE DEBATE QUESTION, IS IT GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WHAT HAPPENS NOW. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT UNDECIDED VOTERS. YES THESE POLLS ARE TIGHT BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS, DOBBS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THE FACT THAT ROE V. WADE WAS OVERTURNED THAT CHANGED THE DYNAMICS OF THE MIDTERMS. THE REPUBLICAN VOTED UNDER VALUED. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, DONALD TRUMP WAS IN FRONT OF JOE BIDEN. HE AND KAMALA HARRIS IS NECK AND NECK. DO YOU THINK THIS MAKES VOTERS NERVOUS ABOUT THIS ELECTION CYCLE BEING ALREADY MUCH TIGHTER THAN 2020. >> EVEN WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS A -T THE TOP OF THE TICKET WE WERE SAYING ABORTION WAS GOING TO BE THE DIFFERENCE MAKER. WE DID RESEARCH THAT WERE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH JOE BIDEN ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WE WERE ABLE TO MOTIVATE THEM AND MOVE THEM ON ABORTION THAT INCLUDED WOMEN 30 TO 35-YEAR- OLDS. TALKING ABOUT A SURGE IN VOTER REGISTRATION DATA WITH WOMEN. BUT PARTICULARLY YOUNGER WOMEN. THE ISSUE GETS MORE SALIENT THE LONGER THESE BANS ARE IN PLACE. WITH KAMALA HARRIS YOU HAVE AN AUTHENTICITY BUT RENEWED ENERGY AROUND IT AND YOU HAVE A SHRINKING OF THE BELIEVABILITY GAP AND WHAT DEMOCRATS CAN AND WILL DO ABOUT IT. >> YEAH, TOTALLY. IT'S HELD BY DONALD TRUMP GOING THROUGH A LIST OF STATES THAT HAVE HAD ABORTION REFERENDUM ON THEIR BALLOTS. OHIO, KANSAS. >> A LITTLE TOO LIBERAL FOR HIM IN OHIO. >> JUST REMINDING PEOPLE THAT THESE ARE ISSUES THAT ARE BEING DECIDED AT THE STATE LEVEL. WHEN THEY'RE DECIDED DEMOCRATS USUALLY WIN. THAT'S STILL OCCURRING AND WILL BE OCCURRING IN NOVEMBER THIS YEAR TOO. >> 10 STATES. I WANT TO TALK ON SOMETHING HE MENTIONED. HE KEPT TALKING ABOUT HOW WE N'T NEED CONGRESS FOR THIS. SHE'S NOT GOING TO GET CONGRESS FOR THIS. LOOK AT PROJECT 2025 THEY PLANNED TO GET A NATIONAL ABORTION PLAN TOO WITHOUT CONGRESS. I THOUGHT IT WAS A HUGE SLIP UP FOR HIM. HE WAS BASICALLY ADMITTING ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. YES I'M EXCITED THAT I HAD TO DO THIS AND I DON'T NEED CONGRESS. SHE DOESN'T NEED CONGRESS. WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS BY ENFORCING THE COMSTOCK ACT. IT WAS A BIG TELL FOR
