2:00 pm
>> that's amazing
2:01 pm
prices ever. so what are you waiting for? >> go to battle but >> x.com today and get 70% of every single thing. >> i'm lauren fox on capitol hill. and this is cnn >> you are in the cnn newsroom. i'm alex marquardt according to washington. thank you so much for joining us. the 2024 general election is now in full swing and tonight, president joe biden and donald trump are set to hold dueling rallies in a crucial battleground state of georgia any moment now, trump is expected to take the stage in the city of rome that's northwest georgia. that's his first campaign events is becoming the presumptive republican nominee following the dropping out of nikki haley and soon after, we expect to hear from president joe biden, he's an atlanta picking off a monthlong push to deliver his message the swing state voters, the biden campaign hoping to
2:02 pm
capitalize on the momentum after biden's fiery and political state of the union address on thursday night now fewer states will be watched more closely than georgia. this coming november, a state that joe biden won by fewer than 12,000 votes, just four years ago, and which helped deliver him to 1,600 pennsylvania avenue. i want to bring in cnn senior data reporter harry enten. harry. so how did people react to the president's state of union address two nights ago. and do you think this is going to be giving the president a boost in the case? campaign. >> i guess it's one of those things where you wonder glass, half full glass, half empty. if you're the type of person who's a glass half full type of individual. you'll say, look at this question. biden's policies put us on the right direction. this is among speech-watchers, pre-speech, it was just 45%. post-speech 62%. that's a 17-point jam. hey, that's not too bad, right? alex. >> but look through history, look at the last few addresses that biden has given. 2023,
2:03 pm
2022, which you see is very similar bumps in sort of the way that speech viewers think that biden's policies will put us in the right direction 19 point jump last year, of 15 point jump in 2022. so the 17 point jump is pretty much right in line with that. and of course, after those speeches, we didn't really see much of a boost and bought biden's approval rating overall, including all americans, not just those who watched the speech so yes, there was a boost that is good news. i think that's part of the reason why biden wants to take this message out on the road. but if you look at it through the lens of the last few years, it's more of a glass half empty type of approach where we've seen those booths before and it really didn't result in higher approval ratings for biden among the wider electorate so it could be a bit of a sugar high, but it's certainly something that the biden campaign is liking right now. now, harry, i think you more than anybody will tell us that the national polls, of course, are not nearly as important as state polls. we have president biden and former president
2:04 pm
trump in georgia tonight for these dueling events, georgia, of course, an incredibly important swing state in this upcoming election. so how is the race looking there? now you know, as someone who grew up in 2000 remembers, my mother forcing me to go to bet on election night 2000 and then al gore winning that national vote. it didn't mean anything, right? it was florida, florida, florida. we look forward to the 2024 election. it might be georgia, georgia, georgia. and you said in your opening, right? how close georgia was last time around it was decided by zero percentage points. that's a very close win for joe biden in 2020, you will look at the polling right now and it's a completely different universe donald trump leading by six points. so an, a very, very different place where we were in this sort of mirrors, what we see next nationally, where we're joe biden's in a considerably worse position than he was back in 2020. and it also mirrors what we're seeing in the sunbelt states, georgia, arizona, nevada, where
2:05 pm
we're seeing donald trump leading joe biden in places that simply put alex to four years ago, joe biden was able to win so why the change? well, why do you think biden's slip so much in georgia? >> yeah. they're probably a lot of reasons why. but let's dig deep into the cross tabs, right? if you know anything about the swing states as they're currently constructed, the one that has the highest proportion of black voters is the state of georgia. black voters are the backbone of the democratic party in georgia what is going on with black voters, right? now in georgia? look, joe biden still winning with him. he's winning among them by 53 percentage points. but that is a drop of 24 points from where we were in 2020. this type of margin to be perfectly honest with you, alex, i've looked through polls throughout the years. this is the smallest margin for a democratic candidate in the state of georgia. i can frankly find on the presidential level, this is a very worrying signs for joe biden heading into the fall. and this is exactly why we're paying such close attention to what is going on in georgia tonight with both those rallies, harry enten. thanks as always for breaking
2:06 pm
down those numbers for it. i appreciate appreciate we appreciate it. let's discuss now with my panel, new york times journalist and podcast host, lulu garcia-navarro and tia mitchell, washington correspondent for the atlanta journal constitution. thank you both so much for joining us this evening. tia, to you as a as a georgia expert, is georgia is still a purple state or do you think it has started leaning more towards one party since the last presidential election in 2020 >> i think georgia is still a purple state. it's still a battleground state, but georgia is definitely a mixed bag. and i think these successes that democrats saw in georgia in 2020 with biden carrying the state, than ossoff and warnock winning both the senate seats. it showed that there it is possible democrats can win statewide in georgia, then we can't forget in 2022 where every, every republican, except for the republican running against warnock won statewide
2:07 pm
on the ballot so it's still a state where republicans run the government in the state level. so it's going to be difficult for democrats to win statewide. but what makes georgia a battleground state is that it's possible for democrats to win and then lulu, ahead of donald trump's rally tonight, there were signs with the photos of laken riley. she's the 22 year-old nursing student who was killed last month and an undocumented migrant has been rested in that case. what does that tell you about the role that immigration in and securing the border are going to play in this campaign over the next eight months it's been really interesting to see what a shift we've seen in the polls in terms of immigration, it's now the number one issue >> by voters, and it really is because the border is seen as a problem. and it is a problem
2:08 pm
we've seen republicans talk about this and call over and over again the situation there are crisis. but this time it really is under president biden. it has been exponentially. we've seen just exponential numbers of increase of migrants coming here. and so there is a sense that there is a problem right now, and that is worrying democrats, that is worrying republicans. but the fact of the matter is that what biden is facing in georgia isn't really to do with immigration. it's to do with the black vote. it's also to do with the uncommitted vote. i mean, we're about to have the primary in georgia and we we have the same thing that we've seen an elsewhere where a coalition of different types of voters, young voters voters of color, are saying, actually we want to vote uncommitted to send a message that we do not like the war in gaza. biden is facing headwinds in a lot of different directions. >> we just heard from president
2:09 pm
biden addressing something that stirred up some controversy after the state of the union. he just spoke with msnbc. he said regrets using the word illegal to describe laken riley's alleged killer. let's take a listen to that >> shouldn't have usually gone as undocumented and look, when i spoke about the different future trump one of the things i talked about in the border was his way. he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. i talked to my what i'm not going to do, what i won't do i'm not going to treat any any any of these people with disrespect and built the country. the reason our economy is growing, we have to control the border and more really slow, but i don't share his view at all. >> so you you were gret using that word? >> yes >> lulu, what do you make of that response by biden? >> i mean, it was overdo it caused a huge amount of consternation, specifically in the latino community the words that people use are very
2:10 pm
important. we've seen over and over again, trump uses word poisoning the blood of the nation, harkening back to things that hitler used to say. so it has been very clear that the gop under donald trump has become anti-immigrant, has become xenophobic. and so when we saw president biden use the word illegals, which is a word that is used on the right. it was very disconcerting. people are not illegal. their actions might be illegal, and that is a very key difference. instead, it was very important for him to hammer home when it comes to immigration. tia the democratic national committee put up a number of billboards near the trump rallies site in northwest georgia, blaming trump and georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor greene for killing the bipartisan border deal. do you think ads like this can be effective? >> well, i think that's like this can be effective for people who are open to the messaging. i mean, the people
2:11 pm
going to the trump rally today, they've already heard from marjorie taylor greene, a lot of them have probably already made up their minds and there's not going to be a lot to shift them but at the end of the day, there are always persuadable voters that's how a state like georgia becomes a swing state is those voters in the middle who could go either way. and i think what the democrats are trying to do is blunt a little bit of that message. would they know that republicans right now are going all in on immigration? patient, we've already talked about the laken riley killing, which has been a big rallying cry, not just in georgia, but across the nation. democrats want to say, look, we care about this issue to, we've actually tried to solve it. it's chump. and of course, marjorie taylor greene being a very effective boogeymen as well they, lumped her in its trump and marjorie taylor greene, who yes, both of them did oppose that bipartisan border legislation, border security legislation in the senate, democrats want to make
2:12 pm
sure that again persuadable voters know that. so if they perhaps were giving low marks, to biden or democrats on immigration maybe they'll rethink why they would believe that republicans would be better on the issue, right? >> tia lulu, thank you both very much for joining me tonight and still ahead, the massive mission happening now to get life-saving aid into gaza. this as time is running out to strike a deal for a ceasefire before the start of ramadan. that's tomorrow night. plus united's very bad week. the airline racks up for emergency incidents in just five days. here, what united is saying about it and frustrated and ignored. that's the feeling shared by some of the families of americans who have been wrongfully detained overseas hi, they are demanding to speak with the president. you're in the cnn newsroom >> this source with kaitlan collins week nights at nine

state-of-the-art next generations that build something stronger together securing decades of peace and prosperity for america and our allies we are going forward and staying forward together >> i am eric and i am 39 years old. i've started thinking about getting botox cosmetic for the last couple of years. i just see myself on video calls all day and i really start noticing the lines i'm still eric and i got botox cosmetic. i'm seeing a lot less prominent lines than i did before. the results have been subtle but noticeable but towards cosmetic is fda approved to temporarily make frown lines, crows feet, and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your dr. right away is difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, i problems or muscle weakness, maybe a sign of a life-threatening condition do not receive botox as medic if you have a skin infection side effects may include allergic reactions,

injection site pain, headache eyebrow, eyelid, drooping eyelid swelling. tell your dr. about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medicaid patients, including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects see for yourself if botox cosmetic.com >> are you >> four all-star teams return for a waterfront redemption showdown we're going to bring it, but only one will make us flash. i think we nailed it. >> the block all new monday 99 on hgtv >> new tonight, at least eight people have been killed in an israeli airstrike on buildings in central gaza that's according to palestinian health officials. and this comes as american officials had been hoping to broker a ceasefire deal that would include the return of hostages held by hamas before ramadan begins on sunday night. but so far president joe biden says that is unlikely in gaza, the united nations is now warning that four out of five households do
2:18 pm
not have safe drinking water. the white house says, us will join other nations to send humanitarian aid. now from cyprus into gaza by barge through a maritime corridor. the us is going to be building a floating pier and causeway along the mediterranean coast of gaza mark esper is here with me now he is the former defense secretary under donald trump. so it mark, thanks so much for joining us. the us is now airdropping aid into gaza. they've announced that they're going to be building this pier that could take as long as two months and as many as 1,000 dozen us troops could be involved in building that to what extent do you think this reflects that the united states actually doesn't have all that much sway over israel since israel's essentially ignoring us calls to open more border crossings sure, alex, it says a lot about that. look, airdrops are better than nothing doing logistics over the shore, which is being proposed by the president's plan to build a causeway appear, then offload,
2:19 pm
loading shipping is better than airdrops, but nothing beats ground convoys going into relieve the suffering and you're talking about on a daily basis, 500 trucks a day are needed. >> if you >> will, but it's interesting because when you think about how this is going to happen with building the pier and the causeway, which i have known that the us military will do expertly. the issue then becomes well, then how do you move the food and you start talking about moving from a bigger ship to a smaller ship. and then from a smaller ship to the floating pier and then somehow the pier has to get it. the items onto trucks and it's unclear who's going to drive the trucks. and then the trucks have to get to the shore and then it to be distributed. it just seems like a lot of steps and complication as compared to just figuring out a way to accelerate the clearance process at the borders? and make sure that there is no contraband going into gaza and then open more sites and get the aid in expeditiously in mass, which is what you need. you need volume to really address the problems on the ground in gaza and all kinds of
2:20 pm
security questions. once that aid arrives and we've seen that the swarming of those aid convoys, because people are, are so desperate and there's a criminal element well but, but mark, in terms of us boots on the ground, that is something that the administration has said will not happen in gaza. and we, my colleagues and i have reported that the us it's could use a contracting company called fogbow. it's run by former senior military and intelligence officials. they would spearhead this maritime corridor. so is that how the us prevents putting american boots on the ground? >> well there's boots on the ground and then there's putting americans at risk. and i think in this case, look when you, when you build a causeway, an artificial causeway that we're talking about, it it gets hundreds of feet long to 1,800 or so feet long. eventually it has to be anchored to the shore and somebody's gonna have to do that anchoring. and of course assembling the causeway means american soldiers will be working nonstop to assemble piece by piece by piece to make sure you link it all the way up to the pier. >> so somebody has to anchor
2:21 pm
it. somebody's going. soldiers will be working on that peer at all times they will be exposed to enemy fire, indirect, direct fire, and they have to be secured. and that's unclear as to who will provide that? there has been taught that the idf will provide some security, but i'm sure we're not going allow american service members to go unprotected. so we're going to provide some type of local security as well. we've got to protect the pier and the causeway, which means we'll have to have a warship out there doing the same. so look, americans, i suspect will be vulnerable while this is happening, not just the building of the causeway, but also it's functioning. >> yeah. an extraordinarily complex operation. secretary esper, i want to ask you about donald trump. he is now the presumptive republican nominee and there are questions about whether he should be getting classified intelligence briefing think what she's entitled to once he officially becomes the nominee, that's after the nominating conventions. he's also of course, being tried for mishandling classified documents. so do you think he should get those intelligence? briefings?
2:22 pm
>> well, at the risk of inflaming his base and trying to beach remain a political in some ways, if you will. my sense is, yes, he's innocent until proven guilty. i think he should be ics be extended the courtesy of having the intelligence briefings, but let me step back and say i was on a presidential campaign, wants there is really no need for any candidate to have detailed information to have any classified information briefings, frankly, because it just doesn't impact the race. it won't impact how they run. so my sense is allow him briefings. i wouldn't go into top secret material. i wouldn't leave paper behind given his track record and given the allegations against him. but look at it becomes if he becomes gets elected in november, then of course, from the time he's elected in november till sworn into office in january, then certainly he should be given access to all the proper intelligence as he as he prepares to take office in january of 2020? 25 and that of course, is the point. so that the candidates are
2:23 pm
prepared if and when they take office. >> trump had i just don't see the name. i don't see the need for access to that intelligence now for many candidate, frankly and it's something that president biden has clearly indicated he would prefer the former president not get the former president met with unknown >> autocrat last night, the primary minister of hungary, viktor orban, they met at mar-a-lago. they spoke president trump spoke about or ban on stage. here's what he said >> there's nobody that's better, smarter or a better leaving than viktor orban. you spend a great job. >> non-controversial figure because he said this is the way it's going to be in this. he had done he's the boss and it is a great leader, fantastic leader europe and all over the world, their respective mark, the former president, they're >> admitting that orban is a controversial figure he has gone after the judiciary and
2:24 pm
hungry, gone after journalist and a hungry, essentially dismantling democracy how concerning is it to you when you hear the former president praising someone like that >> we'll look from my perspective, it's not it's not a good mj. it's not a good message. victor orban is clearly the odd man out in the european union and nato in both cases, he's, he's buck the institutions. he's currently blocking aid from going to ukraine from the you he's been a thorn in the side of nato on various issues. hungry was last country to just approve sweden's admission to nato. so he has clearly autocratic tendencies. so i don't think it's a good thing, but look, trump light seem he likes trump. i think or ban believes that trump's going to be elected president in november. he's leaning into, into reinforcing that relationship and making sure that if when trump's elected, that he's on good terms with the former president. making clear that he would prefer that trump win over biden in this upcoming election former defense secretary mark esper. thanks very much.
2:25 pm
>> thanks. alex >> and coming up, president biden, poking fun at his age in a new campaign ad as he hits the battleground state of georgia today his strategy to win over swing state voters ahead of the november elections will be discussing with maryland's governor wes moore. that's next stay with us i'm jimmy kimmel. >> and this year the oscars are starting an hour earlier, but don't worry, they'll still end several hours late. >> jimmy kimmel returns to host the oscars log sunday seven eastern for pacific on so many choices on booking.com, there are so many teens if as i could be. so >> hired, body doubles, indoorsy tina loves to luck, sweet >> booking.com looking i met with the turbotax expert because i had two full-time jobs, lawyering and mimi count on me,

2:30 pm
monday cnn's camila bernal joins us now live from los angeles. so camila, what happened here and what's going on with united? >> well, look for separate incidents that they say are unrelated, but nonetheless terrifying for a lot of these passengers. a united saying, they take take safety very seriously. but again, it's been difficult for these passengers. the latest one was a flight from san francisco headed to mexico city. and as you mentioned, the problem, there was a hydraulic system. there's three of them in one of them failed and so you're talking about 105 passengers, five crew members on this airbus, three 20, they get diverted to los angeles. they have to de-plane here and eventually get on another plane to mexico. but this was not the only incident on friday. there was enough other one. this was a plane going from memphis to houston and this was a boeing 737 with 160 people on board, six crew members. and what happened there is that it was reigning. so when the plan lands and it's taxiing, it
2:31 pm
slips over into the grass. so that was very weird and different d planning for a lot of the passengers on board ford, again, just scary for many on that flight. and then of course, on thursday, a lot of us saw the video of that incident. that was a boeing 77 and seven and that was going from san francisco to japan, had to also divert too lax. and this was because it lost the tire after takeoff. we saw the video the tire destroying a car again, just so many people that were terrified once they landed here at lax and then you also have that didn't on monday. that was a boeing 737 with 161 passengers, six crew members. and it was going from houston to fort myers. and what happened there was that the engine ingested some of the bubble wrap and so it went up in flames. passengers saw those names. one of those passengers spoke to cnn saying they wrote
2:32 pm
a letter or an email to his wife saying he loved her because he thought it was the end. so boeing saying that safety is their top priority, that they're investigating. but this will take some time to figure out exactly what happened here. alex. >> just extraordinary scenes there. camila bernal. thanks very much for that report. >> dring. now, back to washington where families are marking the first hostage and wrongful detainee day that was on that is on march 9th. it'll be partly a memorial and partly to put pressure on the federal government to bring home detained americans from around the world. cnn, state department reporter jennifer hansler is here with us, so jennifer, you report so much on rock thankfully detained americans around the world. we saw a flag raised at the state department. how did this day come about? >> well, alex really came about because of this persistent effort by the families, by group plus like the foley foundation jen to raise awareness about this cause and to say this needs to be recognized nationally. we saw that finally enacted into
2:33 pm
bipartisan legislature last year passed into law and signed into law by the president at the end of the year. and yesterday at the state department, there was this very solemn was the word we heard you used a lot flag raising to commemorate today's event, and we heard kurt campbell saying that this is a solemn recognition of those who have returned home, those who regretfully never will well, and those who are still being held captive abroad. and he said this flag will be raised every year on march 9, as well as anytime a hostage or wrongful detainees returned home and anytime someone unfortunately passes while they are still being detained abroad when we talk about wrongfully detained americans, especially the ones you're reporting on. we talk about paul a whelan and evan gershkovich a lot. there was a bit too americans being held in russia, of course, a hostages are front and center now because you have at least half a dozen americans who are still being held in gaza, most likely by hamas. and we know that president biden has met with certainly the israeli
2:34 pm
american hostage families. the admissions tradition has been in regular contact with those, those higher-profile families and families of the prisoners. >> but >> what is the reaction to a lot of those families who don't get that kind of attention from the administration. >> well, alex, there's a real sense that there's an inequity here about the way that they're cases are treated, the way that they are handled. we see them saying, you know, we're we're very happy anytime one of these families does get to meet with the president. but why isn't this happening for us? and so we, saw a number of these families who haven't been able to meet with the president gather in front of the white house and lafayette park yesterday to again, make that request to say to president biden, hey, can you come meet with us in our loved ones fail stories as well? harrison li, whose father kiley, has been today and in china since 2016, he is perhaps one of the most vocal of this group. and here's what he had to say yesterday. >> like i want to tell my dad that i'm not going to give up
2:35 pm
because as exhausting as this process is flying across the country every few months, commented begging and begging for meaning not getting meetings. what again, meeting requests, getting rejected, getting ghosted getting turned down, whatnot, hitting a brick wall i'm not giving up. i can't give up >> so they say alex, they are still going to continue to demonstrate in front of the white house, make these requests, but they are asking president biden to sit down with them if even for five minutes and now the way white house says that it's not necessary to meet with the president for these cases to be worked on. this is a top priority, regardless of the president sits down with them. >> and so often we hear from secretary blinken and and president biden and others that their biggest priority as american safety around the world. and clearly these families are trying to take him up on that and get their message across jennifer. we just saw the death of alexey navalny in a russian prison. he's of course not american,
2:36 pm
but that has fueled fear among another american, paul whelan are an american who is being held by the russians and you've spoken directly to him. what did he have to say? >> well, he said alex, that he is incredibly concerned by the death of navalny in a russian prison at said, if this happens to someone as high profiles navalny, it could happen to just about everybody. he said this is incredibly worrying to him, and he said this one he has said, this is, you signing my death sentence that you are not bringing me home. this is what he means. he fears that unless the us is able to bring him home, similar circumstances could have happened to him at the same time in our conversation, he did seem to think that work was being done on his case. he felt a lot more confident that the us was doing whatever could to bring home both him and evan gershkovich from russian detention. >> he has reached out to you on a number of occasions, and it's always remarkable to read those reports are released it takes you inside the life that this american citizen is living inside this very tough and
2:37 pm
