Tonight on 360, the race is now a race.

How the Post Labor Day sprint for the White House got off to a start and breaking news that a

top Trump volunteer was just barred from the campaign for saying a key battleground state is no longer a battleground state.

Also tonight, why the entire race could end up like this tied to 269 electoral votes at peace

and how one district in one state might unlock it.

Also tonight, as protests continue in Israel after the execution of six Israeli hostages in Gaza,

we look at the long brave efforts of John Poland and Rachel Goldberg to bring their son

Hersch and all the hostages in Gaza home.

Good evening, thanks for joining us.

We begin tonight with breaking news, the Trump campaign, tonight flatly denying report that it is effectively writing off the state of New Hampshire.

Word came in an email from a top campaign volunteer now a former top volunteer.

In it Tom Mountain writes that the campaign has, quote,

determined that New Hampshire is no longer a battleground state.

He went on to say, this means the campaign is suspending all resources,

staffers, supplies, speakers, etc. to New Hampshire.

A Trump campaign spokesperson tells CNN what he said is not true.

We'll have more in this shortly.

It's happening 63 days until the election, and just seven days until the first and so far only debate

that the two sides have actually agreed to which takes place in Philadelphia and

a sign of how much Pennsylvania matters this time. CNN has learned the Vice President Harris will be preparing

for that debate in Pittsburgh, arriving on Thursday and staying five days there until Tuesday

before traveling to Philadelphia for the event itself.
