If it's Wednesday, clashes, conspiracies, and questions about what comes next,

after an historic debate leaves former President Trump trying to spin an undisciplined

performance against Vice President Harris as his best debate ever.

Plus, Hurricane Francine strengthens and slams Louisiana with the eye of the storm expected to make landfall this afternoon near New Orleans

bringing flash flooding and storm surge threats to millions along the Gulf Coast.

And ready for it? The endorsement of Harris's wild as dreams, superstar Taylor Swift

announces to her more than a quarter billion Instagram followers that she's backing

Harris for president and encouraging her fans to vote in November. Welcome to Meet the Press Now, I'm Kristen Welker in Washington as both campaigns chart a course for the final 55 days and debate the possibility of another

debate after a fiery and historic face-off that left Trump allies and

and high spirits.

The night full of clashes on key issues,

dodges and taunts by both the former president

and the vice president.

But what stood out the most was how Vice President Harris

appeared to accomplish her goal of getting under her rival skin early and often.

And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of

exhaustion and boredom. She said people start leaving people don't go to her

rallies there's no reason to go and the people that do go she's busing him in and paying them to be there

Donald Trump actually has no plan for you because he is more interested in defending himself

than he is in looking out for you.

That's just a sound bite.

They gave her that to say.
