healthier. with the aura ring i'm jeremy diamond didn't tel aviv and this is cnn money haul president >> biden, and the dams raking in millions last month, far outpacing republicans as they gear up for november. and despite nagging worries about biden's reelection campaign,

the president leaves soon for another fundraising trip. nikki haley says, when it comes to the republican nomation race, she's not going anywhere she is behind former president trump in the polls, but she's vowing to keep fighting for at least two more weeks, if not longer, that maybe the last thing the trump campaign wants to hear as it's already hitting back at his last remaining challenger and a decision that could have major implications for anyone trying to become pregnant through in vitro fertilization. and alabama court ruling that frozen rio's created by ivf or actually living children will begin to be implications of that decision as we follow these major developing stories and many more all coming in, right? here to cnn news central >> presidential campaigns are all about the money and the message. and today, president biden is ramping up both. he's

heading on a three-day fight fundraising blitz in california that will add to his already historic amount of cash reserves. and it comes as cnn learns, he personally directed his staff to step up their efforts to call out former president donald trump. biden isn't the only one on the trail today. trump and nikki haley stumping in south carolina ahead of saturday's primary there haley is behind by double digits in polls in her home state. she says, though she's not going anywhere as the trump campaign says, she's out of gas, we have reporters on the ground covering all of this. we have mj lee at the white house, kylie atwood is on the trail with the haley campaign and kristen holmes is in washington, mj to you first, tell us it's about biden's new messaging push >> yeah. brianna, what we've learned is that president biden himself personally instructed at some of his top campaign aide to be even more aggressive in highlighting some of president trump's more inflammatory and wild comments. or we're told that the thrust of the president's direction

was to signal difficultly ramp up the campaign's efforts to highlight the crazy that trump says. in public. you know, we've been seeing, of course for a while, the biden campaign trying to highlight what they see as black and white contrast between president biden and former president trump on everything including their temperament, their worldviews. there policies, and as the biden campaign is making this pivot to a general election, this reporting seems to show that president biden himself believes that it is incredibly important to make sure that they are really leaning into painting the former president as being unhinged, an unfit for office. now when we reached out to the biden campaign for comment for this story, the biden campaigns at rapid response. director said in part that donald trump is the polar opposite of everything that president biden stands for. and that this stark contrast is one that they're going to continue to highlight. one thing that i do think it's worth pointing out that the biden campaign has been concerned about for awhile. is this it? deal that

so many voters seem to have forgotten about the first four years of the trump presidency and what they see as having been sort of these are unacceptable and outrageous moments from those first four years. and so clearly, part of the strategy going forward is going to be more aggressively trying to remind voters of what they see as having been unacceptable and on the money side here, mj take us through this latest haul >> yeah, the campaign just announced this morning that president biden raised $42 million. both for the campaign and the democratic party in the month of january. and they ended that month with 130 million of cash on it hand. and this is the largest figure for a democratic presidential candidate at this point in the presidential campaign. you money, of course translates into having the freedom and the resources to run the kind of campaign that a campaign wants to run. so this is certainly good news for the biden campaign and is in contrast from the amount of money that we've seen raised by trump and

the rnc and all of this, of course, comes at a tenuous moment for the biden campaign as they're facing a lot of concerns and questions, including on his age, brianna >> all right. mj lee. thank you for that report. live for us from the white house for us let's get you to south carolina now, because kylie atwood was there for haley's state of the race speech last hour kylie haley here vowing she's not going to get out of this race anytime soon. >> yeah. that's right. a very defiant tone from nikki haley here saying that she refuses to quit, that she's not going to cave, that she's willing to take the cuts and bruises very clearly, laying out that she is in this at least for the next few weeks here and when it comes to south carolina primary all right. let's just five days from now on saturday, she told folks in this room that come sunday, essentially, no matter what happens in that primary, she's still going to be in that she said she's going to go on to michigan. she's going to go on to those super tuesday states and also a striking line for her, boris saying that she

is going to stay in this race until all of the votes are past effectively leaving the door open to potentially staying in the race through the entirety of the primary and her campaign is saying that she's going to say in it, so long as the american voters are with her, we'll just have to see how that plays out. and when it comes to former president trump, she said that she is not threatened by him effectively saying that she isn't fearful of retaliation from him. listen to what she said on that >> i feel no need to kiss the ring i have no fear of trump's retribution >> i'm not i'm not looking for anything from him my own political future is of zero concern

>> now the trump campaign for their part trying to undercut nikki haley's message earlier today, putting out a memo saying that her campaign is broken down and also revealing how they see the state of the race in the next month or so with the expectation that former president trump will get enough delegates either on march 12, or march 19th, to actually clinch the republican nomination. now, nikki haley for her part, did not get into any delegate math here in south carolina today. but of course, it is an incredibly steep hill. if she's going to turn around the momentum that is certainly on former president trump's side heading into the south carolina primary yeah. >> the delegate math, right now, not on nikki haley's side. kylie atwood from south carolina. thank you so much. we want to get you the trump perspective of all of this. so let's bring in cnn's kristen holmes. kristian. obviously as kylie noted a moment ago, that the trump team just wants to put nikki haley behind them.

state of the race speech or not >> yeah. boris, that's right. i mean, they are clearly very annoyed with the fact that she's still in the race and they want to focus on biden and a general election, but they feel like they have to deal with this first, you talk about that memo that kylie mentioned. there. this was sent out by the campaign heads about this delegate math and it's not anything new they had been projecting since before iowa that he he would be the nominee or the presumptive republican nominee by the middle of march. now they're giving a latest march 19th, the de, but obviously they're just trying to offset these remarks. his state of the race remarks by nikki haley. they also said that her campaign would effectively be over on saturday, and i have to tell you, boris, when i talk to these various senior advisors, they do actually he believed that they believe that south carolina is trump's to lose that even though it is our home state that he is effectively leading the party there. and i do want to show you our recent poll numbers because there's a reason that they believe this is from a cbs poll. it shows donald trump receiving 65% of the republican vote to 30

percent for nikki haley. and it's because of that they've really seen a lot less extensive campaigning in south carolina than we saw in iowa or new hampshire. donald trump has only been on the ground once since the new hampshire primary. in addition to that, he's has a town hall tonight and a couple of other events on friday and saturday but still not that pounding the pavement. we also know they've spent barely any money, no expensive ad buys on any kind of television advertisements the super pac hasn't spent a dime in the state of south carolina. so again, just giving you an indication of how confident they feel that he will come out on top and that those poll numbers are right. but as you said, they are clearly still trying to push nikki haley out of the race so far, doesn't seem like she's going anywhere. >> kristen holmes. thank you so much for that. just four days to go before the south carolina bremmer. >> it is so soon. let's discuss this now with former republican congressman fred upton, who informally advised the no labels political group, and also with us former president for terry to first lady jill

biden and special assistant to the president, michael larosa. thank you to both you for joining us here in studio and i wonder fred, what you thought of nikki haley's speech, but also what is the calculus for her? how does she survive? beyond saturday as she makes it clear, she plans on doing if the result is anything like the polling that we are seeing. >> but she's going to have a tough time surviving. the numbers, don't look very good, particularly in south carolina. but remember the turnout is so low but her best line for sure was some people think that i was in this thing to run for vice trip to be on the vice presidential slate. clearly >> that's not the case. and she laughed about it herself. i mean, that's she's she's done in terms of the trump campaign that that's for sure. so maybe you wake up in 28, but she's got a really tough road to south carolina to come in in michigan next week, she's trailing there as well. so i don't she's not going to be able to close the gap, but she's got money and i think maybe she's hoping for a

miracle that trump gets goes away somehow. >> to that point, michael about the fact that she has money. this speech was just as much for the voters as it was for the folks that are backing her financially. >> and four years ago, it's hard for me to tell her she should get out when four years ago, joe biden had we had no money. we had lost three contests before we went into south carolina, a lot of people, not immediate, but the opinion world were telling joe biden he could probably get out or writing his political a bit. you airy. but we hung onto south carolina. i'm not saying that's going to happen for nikki haley, but in time does run out where you have to start winning, put numbers on the board, right >> jim? fiber. >> well, yeah, i mean, nobody there unforeseen events that can change campaigns, but that just shows you that campaigns are really, they're not static. they change and events can change things. people can change things when. >> you, look, at biden here in this record, fundraising hall, michael, that we're seeing. i

mean, it's it's huge, but how big of a deal is it these days? and in the context of this likely trump versus biden race so i think it shows that there's confidence in the president from the democratic, from democratic voters at the grassroots level, at the donor level. but you're right, it doesn't really matter. i think trump was hillary. i think raised outraise donald trump almost two-to-one i think we outraised trump the last time i could be running to go check that, but money marries matters very little. i would also say that biden campaign needs it president trump gets former president trump gets an inordinate amount of free media every day. he is probably in the news or whether there it's good or bad, he's in the news in people's faces more than president biden. by the nature of the fact that he has a lot of extraneous things going on in his life other than it campaign. >> he's also having to spend quite a bit of money on legal

issues. i just want to point out for folks watching at home. the congressman asked me to call him fred i'm disrespecting for donald trump, isn't it an advantage that the biden team gets to spend all of their funds on just advertising and getting the message out and trump, not only is he focusing so much of his time on the courtroom and trying to spread his message there, but also financially doesn't that tax him? long term? >> but it's actually helped him win the base because he's tried to make himself look like the victim and he is done as michael he is dominating the news. i mean, we know whether he's showing up in the in the courtroom i get ten or 20 different emails from every days already got the wrote the lovitch wary for nikki for saturday. i mean, he's all over the place yet and he did that in 2016? he was on i ms every day. i mean, he was like the press loved him and someone

like jeb bush and others who was in the race back then, they could get nowhere even though they raised more money than needed at the time. he got all the earned media and pushed everyone aside and the same thing sort of happen this time. >> it let me play a little devil's advocate on the biden money. you said it is confidence. is it also a little bit perhaps anxiety. we know there's a lot of anxiety among democrats. this was actually campaign co-chair mitch landrieu this morning talking about it. let's look i understand that the concern about the polls you see this actually for both candidates. but essentially as his campaign heats up, you're going to have to make a choice between two very, very different people were in february the elections in november to expect everything to be the way it isn't. november 7 is unrealistic and the bedwetting just gets exhausting >> what does it take to quiet the concerns? >> so huge fan of the mayor and but what i would say is voting starts technically in almost, i

think 88 months early voting starts at the beginning of october, the end of september, and some of these states so the person, the window to change perceptions is closing rather quickly. and what the president needs to do is just go out there and mix it up with reporters, engage with the media more. the reason why donald trump gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their age, when they're not that far apart in age is because donald trump is out there showing and telling every day that he is capable and president biden is more than capable. but people have not people, not the press, because the press could care less if joe biden wins, certainly as is, let's be clear, voters need to see joe biden out there fighting against the misperceptions about his ability to serve. they need to see it to restore confidence, but also to get, to get excited for what do you make of that strategy that we've heard a lot of strategists on the democratic side calling for to

get biden out there more to dispel this notion that he's disconnected well, you know it's true that, you know, the more he's on. i mean, the more he has some of these problems. and it just reinforces the impression that's already there. i mean, the way that he walks you know, the mixing up egypt in mexico with the leaders. i mean, just a whole variety of things. and it's one of the reasons why you look at the polls and nikki is now said this, nikki haley's of this a number of times over the last couple of weeks 70% of the american public really doesn't want a rematch between these two. there's you know, there's a ladder differently. >> i will say well, what i would also just sorry to interrupt kindness and beverages stayed the more that he is out there doing interviews, big interviews, small interviews, mixing up with the press the less those human, very common human mistakes will matter. and that's why i think trump gets the benefit the dow because he

is out there every day and he makes a lot of mistakes see, he couldn't even pick out his ex-wife. and i want to picture respect to his face but he's out there all the time and that gives his own voters confidence and stores dow and the people e jean carroll for his >> see, they, everybody makes these mistakes every now and then >> but they >> xi's watch the more, the more the president and he's going to make mistakes. but the more he is out there engaging the media, engaging the public, the less those mistakes matter. >> you got to remember too, for the trump vote, it's usually the trump voters supporters that are watching him, folks that are not there. they're turned into a different channel yeah. >> so he's reinforcing his own base, particularly as a victim. >> fred and michael, great conversation. thank you so much as we gear up to south carolina and ahead, forced to fight against us weapons, technology and examination of a russian missile fired in ukraine shows it was actually made with mostly american parts. we'll

and a contained components, mostly designed and sold by companies here in the united states, cnn, pentagon correspondent oren liebermann has all the details on these very interesting the findings. and oren, this is one that certainly has got to frustrate the biden administration >> absolutely. because this has been a long-standing effort of the biden administration to try to stop us and western components from getting to adversaries for them to make weapons. and that includes iran and north korea. in this case, conflict, armament mit researcher, uk based investigative organization, looked at that ballistic missile that russia fired on ukraine, on kharkiv last month and look at these numbers according to their information, 75% of the components we're us made 16% were based in europe and only 9% came from asia. that means that north korea is able to get these components fold them into their weapons fairly quickly. in fact, according to the organization, a lot of these components were made between 2020, 1.20, 23,

meaning the supply chain moved quickly enough to create the missile and then get it fired. now, let's be clear here. the us companies aren't providing weapons components, but they are providing some of the criticals, some of the systems that are critical to these weapons, circuit boards a microelectronics, electrical components, all of which are needed to make these missiles function and it's not that these companies are selling them directly to north korea. but once they're sent out into the international market, north korea and iran before this, they have ways of getting an accessing these components and then folding them into their missiles. and that's the concern here. this same organization conflict, armament research previously looked at an iranian drone that had been fired by russia in ukraine and found that more than 80% of the components we're us components that they had gotten their hands-on and then fold it into their weaponry. so it's a major concern. one briana that is very difficult for the us to stop because of how complicated and how much there is essentially to the international market that allows these to go from us

companies who unwittingly sell their products. and then they find their way to north korea, who is able to fold this into deadly weapons used against ukraine all right, oren liebermann. thank you for those details. >> for us. >> let's discuss this issue further with cnn military analyst, retired air force colonel cedric leighton. colonel leighton, thanks so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. oren sort of alluded to it, but what i'm curious to get your perspective on how these u.s. made components, these parts wind up in enemy hands >> yeah, it's quite an extensive operation. boris and one of the key things to note is that north korea has been a long history of actually evading sanctions. so what they're doing is they're coming in, they're using front companies in various locations. many of with them in asia to buy up products in the global supply chain that they can then turn around in use in their weapons manufacturing process. so for example, a guidance system that would come in a

using the various chips that they, they use. and that would be part of is system that is in the supply chain. normally the north koreans would by that guidance as more of the components of that guidance system, and then take that to north korea, build the missile, incorporate the guidance system in that nestle and then ship the completed missile to russia and then it ends up in ukraine. that way so colonel as oren was just laying out for us, the us recently targeted some front companies based in hong kong with sanctions. they were allegedly fronts that would wind up using u.s.-made parts for drones, like the one that killed us service members recently in jordan how difficult would it be for the us to try to get a handle on this just using sanctions >> i think it would be extremely difficult to ask to be some significant enforcement on the ground in places like

hong kong. and of course, hong kong is controlled by china now, so it's it would be very difficult to get law enforcement. they are to actually fix that particular part of the supply chain so i think it would be very hard to do that. they would have to be other ways of going after them, perhaps even covert means to go after these particular areas and do these particular front companies. and that is something thing that i think would be very difficult to do, especially given who controls what in places like hong kong, macau, and other places like that, that covert approach that you mentioned is really intriguing. the biden ministration didn't set up a task force back in 2022 to investigate a similar issued just how western made components we're ending up in iranian drones that russia was launching into ukraine. we haven't really gotten much word on progress being made by that task force, but if the us could limit how accessible these parts are, how big a difference could that make on the battlefield?

>> well, it would be significant, boris, i think it would be it make a great deal of difference for the ukrainians because if you could, for example, trace the different parts that are made, make their way into these missiles and prevent them from working. that would then create it is situation on the battlefield where those weapons couldn't be as effective they wouldn't perhaps not even be able to launch them or if they did launch them, they wouldn't be as accurate. and that would be i think a significant advantage, very significant area that could be used, but it would be very difficult to do and it would also require an since tagging each of these areas, each of these different components, and that would of course make a big, big difference. but it would be a huge benefit to the ukrainians if we could stop the supply of these types of components, these chips, these guidance systems in these, in these particular areas colonel cedric leighton always appreciate the

be releasing a details on a major package of sanctions against russia on friday, we were just looking there at pictures of air force one at andrews air force base, the president. next stop is going to be california as he makes his way there for a fundraising swing, boris >> meantime, amid efforts to disqualify fulton county district attorney fani willis from the georgia election subversion case against former president donald trump a winery host has come forward backing at least part of her claims about but paying for things in cash. remember, willis has been under fire for her romantic relationship with lead prosecutor nathan wade, defense attorneys for trump and his co-defendants claim that she benefited financially from that relationship. but last week during a hearing, willis testified that she often reimbursed wade for the meals and trips that the defense pence says he paid for claiming that she did so in cash. cnn's zach cohen joins us now, zach, first of all, how did you get

in touch with the winery guy and what did he tell you? >> boris stan. stan, his name is dan brody reached out to cnn after watching the hearing, which was obviously broadcast live. on live stream in atlanta, georgia, and he reached out because when you when the testimony turned to fani willis's habit of using cash and habit of using and storing a lot of cash in your house, it rang a bell in his mind is what he told me. he said that he realized that he had a personal experience with fani willis, with nathan wade that was potentially relevant to what fani willis was saying? in that hearing room and that happened in 2023, according to brody, he said that fani willis and nathan wade came to visit a winery in napa valley and that at the end of the day when the bill was delivered, fani willis not only picked up the check, but paid in cash and so the bill was about $400, which it is a pretty sizable amount to pay in cash, which is what surprise brody at the time and it's what reminded him to reach up and want to put this information out there, too, because he thinks it's important to backup what fani willis testified to in a

courtroom because at the end of the dead, the thing about a cash payment is there's no receipts, there's no paper trail, so he thinks adding his voice, this conversation does at least help verify what think we're also talking about. >> so zach, do you know if fani willis's team has reached out to him? >> so burns told me that he's had no contact with the da's office or with defense counsel. i'm on the other side of this case. that could obviously change as this matters not resolved yet. judge mcafee is still weighing whether or not to disqualify fani willis and really he has to determine if she financially benefited from her relationship with nathan wade. that's really the core threshold that the evidence has to cross an order for him to remove fani willis from the case and look sources. i've talked to say that if fani willis is removed from this case, that the entire hope of prosecuting donald trump in georgia, the entire case that's been years in the making essentially goes away, really illuminating nugget to get in the story is that cohen thanks so much for the reporting. appreciate. >> so still to come the alabama supreme court ruled that frozen embryos are children and should be protected as such. this could have a chilling effect on

justice j. mitchell writing in the majority opinion, that state law, quote, applies to all children born and unborn without limitation, it is not the role of this court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy that is especially true where as here, the people of this state have adopted a constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding unborn life from legal protection. let's bring in cnn legal analyst carrie cordero, so much to talk about here, carry, what are the implications of this ruling? because you have another justice on the court, greg cook writing in the descent that this ruling quote, almost certainly ends the creation of frozen embryos thiru, in vitro fertilization in alabama. >> yeah, i think there is a really strong argument here that as to alabama specifically the ability to have the procedure of in vitro fertilization is at risk because this would place

liability in case something happened ben, that was not intended to happen and so providers are most likely not going to be willing to engage in that. and what we really have briana here is this is a collision of the old and the news. so you have an old law and alabama dating back to 18 72 which is the wrongful death of a minor act. and then that is combined with a much more recent development in alabama constitutional law, which is that the voters added a provision to protect unborn children in 2022. and so the alabama supreme court took those two pieces together, took this case that had to do with a specific instance and has used it as a vehicle to most likely eliminate the practice of in vitro fertilization in the state of alabama. will other >> states who have done something similar with unborn life, take this step as well.

>> well, i think it opens the door to other states doing that. and if we have a similar type of case and another state, then that's when we'll see this eventually go up to the supreme court in the post-dobbs world. so the decision in the dobbs case that overturned roe versus weighed in a year-and-a-half ago in 2022. that has opened the door to bring these issues back down to the state level. and so in this particular case in alabama, it has to do with in vitro fertilization and in other states, it obviously has to do with the issue of abortion across the country. and other states, there are potential issues in terms of criminalizing miscarriage so these cases all stem from the supreme court returning that particular issue back to the state's the supreme court chief justice tom parker, wrote in a a concurring opinion, quote, human life cannot be

wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy god who views the destruction of his image isn't a front to himself and he goes on to say, quote, even before birth, all human beings bear the image of god and their lives cannot be destroyed without a facing his glory that is not a constitutional or legal argument. that is a religious argument. how unusual is that? >> it's unusual, but this issue does come from in many circles, circles that are driving the advocacy on these right to life issues and the rights of unborn children and they are based in religion. and so normally we would not see a court case that is invoking god and invoking religion as the basis for its legal opinion. but that's the circumstances in this particular case, and that underlies much of the advocacy that in many ways, brianna and in my judgment is reducing

women's rights in terms of reproductive freedom reducing their rights in terms of decisions to make, in terms of their own health decisions really taking the rights of women backwards. perhaps decades, if not centuries, and just real quickly. there are a lot of embryos being stored. i would assume in alabama that had been created. so what happens now if someone's done with their families decides they want to be they don't want to use those embryos. they don't want to pay the hundreds of hundred there's $1 a year to store them. now, where's the liability on getting rid of those embryos? >> well, we'll have to see how this is actually implemented, but i mean it underlies the point that these decisions that are being made by supreme courts all over the country are not decisions that are being made in the abstract. these have practical implications. and just like in other states where clinics have had to decide to stop engaging in the

provision of abortions, for example, in alabama, these clinics will have to decide what they are going to do in order to continue or not to provide the service. and also to deal with the actual embryos that they have in their possession. >> carrie cordero, there's so many more questions we could go through this for hours, but really appreciate your perspective on this. thank you. thanks boris. >> now to some of the other headlines we're watching this hour broward county public school officials are confirming at least five cases of measles set one south florida elementary school the district announced the first case of measles at manatee bay elementary school on friday for more cases were confirmed over the past three days. the cdc says that measles potentially deadly virus is so contagious that nine out of ten people who have close contact with infected person and who aren't vaccinated will get it nine out of ten excuse me the school says it's undergone a deep

to do this, how they take them down? >> it's a great question, brianna. basically, it seems like they had access for months to the servers that the hacking group was using. and there were quietly collecting intelligence and then when they realized that they might not get much more out of it, they decided to blow the lid on the operations so last night sources tipped me off to the fact that the website had been seized. you just go on a dark web but as one does open it up and you see that on one of their many victim shaming sites that these websites, that these hackers used to say, we're going to post your data unless you give us $10 million. but instead of the extortion site where you get as a big logo of the fbi, the uk national crisis, and seen others saying, hey, we were inside your systems and it's really a taunting trash talk from the authorities for lack of a better phrase. >> and >> like i said, it's been going on for months and now we have the public evidence that the fbi is saying that they are

able to unlock victims systems if they've been infected, come contact us. we have the decryption key, and they also the european authorities announced two arrests of lower-level members. the main core members are believed to be in russia and two of those men were indicted today, unlikely that they will see the inside of the us courtroom given relations between moscow and washington, but still a big blow to this group's operation. brianna. >> and how about in the context of ransomware operations, generally couldn't some of these folks just like do lockbit to 0.0 and start operations elsewhere. exactly. well, this is, this is three point out, so you might see four point or another branding. it's all about branding as they call themselves businesses. business people. but obviously that's they're criminals but it still relies on trust and branding. and so all of the hacking groups that were buying services, tools to break into networks from these guys. and they're mostly guys as far as we know. aren't going to be a little less trustful and say, hey, the feds might be

in your work. so how are we going to do business with you? so they're going to try to re-brand, start a new group, call it something else. it's just going to be something that's very similar, but it's an ongoing cat and mouse game board they got us once that could be maybe their brand and i don't shots in the dark web apparently. >> what you aren't fomo okay. >> sean, thank you so much for that. >> ahead. we have some chilling new details about the person of interest in the case of a missing 11 year-old girl vegas >> the story of sin city. sunday at ten on cnn. >> my money should work as hard as i do. that's why i use my freedom unlimited card every time i get gas a little slack, hold pumped through our thanks, freedom and limited uk make more of what's yours? >> i see how it works for us.
