nearly 68 points. >> i'm confident that the bronx is going to overwhelmingly reject donald trump based on the polling data that i've seen among likely voters in the bronx, donald trump is so unpopular, suv radioactive. he's even less popular than arsenic in the bronx, despite new york strong democratic lean, trump insists he can put the empire state and play this november people understand. i'm running hard and new york, i think we're going to win new york, something he claimed during his first run in 2016, i think we're going to win new york. and again, in 2020, we're going for new york. we going to losing the state who times by more than 20 points. >> thank you. and god bless you exact no republican nominee is carried new york since ronald reagan in 1984 the bronk stop comes as a republican party continues to coalesce around trump. >> after a bitterly fought primary campaign against nikki haley, the former south carolina governor, gave trump boost wednesday sanction would support her november. trump has

not been perfect on these policies. i've made that clear many, many times but biden has been a catastrophe so i will be voting for trump. >> her turn about coming after closing her campaign morning, about trump's impact on the gop, how much more losing do we have to do before we realize maybe donald trump is the problem another trump rival ted cruz, refusing to say if you would accept the 2024 election results during an interview with cnn's kaitlan collins, free and fair election, will you accept the results from godless of who wins? >> look, if the democrats, when i will accept the result, but i'm not going to ignore fraud, but was or happening 20 of course, there was fraud. >> it's a message being put forward by several top republican including those buying to be trump's running mate. >> will you commit to accepting the election results of 2024? >> bottom line at the end of the day, the 47th president united states moby president

donald trump. >> and i'm excited to get back to low inflation, low unemployment wave, senator, yes or no, yes or no? how will you accept the election results of 2024, no matter who wins? >> that is my statement and we'll put talked to a number of residents here in the bronx, done attending this rally. >> others, not others incredulous. donald trump, what even show up in the bronx, but speak to a number of april. >> he said that they voted for biden 2020, but that they were looking for other options and they were interested in what donald trump had to say. obviously, donald trump is a household name particularly in new york, being born and raised in new york, a lot of excitement for him here at this location today. >> kristen holmes reported from that trump rally in the bronx. we'll get back to you. thank you. >> they're much. chris, did i want to bring and see you in an anchor, kaitlan collins right now to discuss or sometimes pretty heated interview with senator ted cruz, a caitlin, you really pressed senator cruz. i'm accepting the election results. did you ever get an answer? >> well, he didn't say yes and

no, yes or no to that answer. i think he would argue that he did try to answer that question as he did is we went on for several minutes about this in the perspective here in the context that's important and crucial to note wolf as you know, is that senator ted cruz was the first senator to object to the certification of the votes i believe the state he was was arizona, though we know they're objections to multiple states is that day played out on january 6. and so this is a key issue because it's kind of become this question that has become, for some reason increasingly difficult for republicans to answer just a yes or no question. marco rubio, tim scott, you saw those or vice presidential? hopefuls? of course. and so i really wanted to take the time in our sit down last night with senator ted cruz on the show to ask him about what he plans to do in 2024. i want to show you a little bit more of that exchange. wolf only ask republicans that you look into tried to block the transition

of power. you have to acknowledge that we've never seen it on a scale of what happened in 2020. and we've never seen the president refused. he wouldn't even let joe biden get classified briefings at the beginning, i recall that. so let me question for you again free and fair election. will you accept the results regardless of who wins look, if the democrats, when i will accept the result, but i'm not going to ignore fraud what was or what have any 20 of course, there was fraud, no, that wasn't. and you still objected? >> wolf, after that moment, senator ted cruz said that the idea that there were zero fraud in the 2020 election is not feasible. >> the of course, what's important here are the crux of this is there was no material fraud, nothing that would change the outcome of that election, and that is something that was attested to by multiple public and governors. the attorney general, bill barr dozens of courts, even the supreme court rejected this idea that trump had been cheated out of power. and of course, the danger here is that there are a wide, there's a wide swath of the electorate

that does believe the election was stolen because they were told not only by donald trump, but also by multiple publications at that time. that there was reason to doubt the election, even though we heard from multiple officials that there wasn't, but i do think this is a notable trend wolf because it's not just happening among people who want to be vice president to donald trump. if he wins the election, or want to be in his cabinet, we're also seeing it, among other us lawmakers who won't outright say that if it isn't a free and fair election, that they will accept the 2024 results. and of course, wolf, as we saw in 2020, it's an important question to ask. >> very important to do excellent interview with senator cruz, caitlin, thank you very much. kaitlan, of course, we will be back later 9:00 p.m. eastern to anchor her show. the source or we'll of course, be watching let's break all this down with our political commentators right now. i'll start with kristin salt to sanderson, senator cruz is the latest high-profile republican refusing to say that he will accept the results of the 2024 election. flat-out

question, what does that say about the gop right now? >> right now, a lot of republican prominent leaders are angling either to be vice president or they'd like to have a lot of influence in a trump administration zoo for them, they feel that that is a trap question. they feel that it is unfair that republicans are asked it. you heard senator cruz just say that for them, the way but they sort of deal with this is they say there was a little bit of fraud here, a little bit of fraud there. >> we don't really know they tried to dance around it because they know that for very many republican voters, they do feel that donald trump was cheated out of the election, and whether they mean that in terms of fraud or they feel like simply he was treated unfairly, a kind of vague concept. it is a very very prominent belief among republican voters certainly as se cap officially, trump has campaigning in the bronx right now to try and court black and latino voters as you know, new york is not necessarily a battleground state. it's very democratic. so what do you think is going on here? >> yeah well, it's

historically very democratic and probably still will go for biden, however joe biden beat donald trump in 2020 by 23 points. that margin has slipped significantly. he's now according to the most recent poll and santa college only beating donald trump by nine points in new york. that's a red flag. if i'm on biden's campaign staff to look at a state that should not slip away from a democratic president and should definitely not be this close. so maybe donald trump sees those numbers. he sees african american and hispanic voters in some numbers leaving joe biden and sees an opening. and i think what's been impressive about the trump campaign is they don't seem to be taking any voters for granted. i'm not sure i'd say the same of the biden campaign. he didn't go to new hampshire, for example, during the democratic primary. so i don't

i think trump is wrong to hold some rallies here ashley allison is with us as well. >> ashley, the biden camp seems that the threat posed by trump improving his numbers with minorities, especially black voters, and release this is the biden campaign. they released this ad just ahead of trump's speech tonight. watch this donald trump disrespecting black focus, nothing new. he was sued for refusing to rena's apartments to black families and calls for the execution of five innocent black and brown teenagers. >> and it's more than angle, it's hatred, it's why trump stood would violet white supremacists, warned of a bloodbath if he loses the next election, and if he is president again, vowed to be a dictator who once we binge on his enemies. >> now, who do you think that is? >> of course, i hate these people so actually, this is, is this the right message for the biden campaign with black voters well, it's the truthful message. >> these things that the biden campaign put in this ad is actually stuff, but donald

trump has done and has promised to do if he is reelected. and i think it's important that the biden campaign remind voters of how trump behave when he was in president and some of the things that people weren't might not have know whether people might not have always known that donald trump discriminated around housing policy, but it's important to inform voters of that. this is not something new, this is, he has a track record heard of discriminatory, hateful language, and so it did not just happen when he said there was very good people on both sides der in charlottesville, it happened around the exonerated five. it happened during his discriminatory discriminatory housing practices and i think it's important for the biden campaign. remind voters, but i also think then you also have the biden campaign have to tell voters why you are the other best alternative. and i think they're also going to be start doing that. whether this talking about their economic policies, their housing policies opportunities for students as well. yeah. i'm sure they're going to be doing that. i eci the trump campaign issued this response to that

biden ad that was just released, writing in part and will be put it up on the screen by and its policies are driving black families deeper into poverty and making them less safe. black voters like all americans, are worse off now than they were under president trump. and every poll reflects that reality. so eci, what do you think? >> well, it's laughable to imagine trump telling black voters what they, what they need and what their lives are like but on the other hand, i'm not sure a campaign ad by biden pointing out something that had been 40 years ago, for example, is really what's going to motivate this group or any group of people to the polls, they want to know what policies are going to make their lives better and if you want to point at donald trump and tell, tell voters what policies made their lives worse. do that it's not necessarily what he did 40 years ago again, in terms of housing discrimination, although that was awful i would

i would be connecting the dots a bit, a bit more to ashley's latter point. >> yeah, good point. there, christian, are you have a new article in the new york times about the enduring power of trump's celebrity. you write this and i'm quoting from your article right now, it is a mistake to forget that mr. trump is a celebrity first and a politician second, nearly a decade later, he is still, isn't affected by the same political laws of gravity that govern nearly every other political figure including his republican imitators. and impostors so how does the biden team get voters to see him as a politician? not necessarily simply as a celebrity well, that may well happen as we approach november, of course, in 2020 when donald trump was the incumbent president, he was not protected by the shield of celebrity. >> voters, had a very clear your picture of whether they liked his presidency or not. many of them did not. and that's why we got joe biden in office. but now joe biden has

been the president. he's responsible for the way people are feeling as trump's presidency has receded into the past, people are starting to think of a more and more as that guy from the apprentice, the person that they've seen on tv, a lot but he's been off the trail and in the courtroom. and oddly enough, i think that's why we have not seen his numbers go down. people are thinking of him back in celebrity mode, not politician mode. and that's a very good place for donald trump to be important point, guys. thank you very, very much. just ahead, new and growing fallout around the us supreme court justice samuel alito. why a second flag is becoming a big red flag for his critics, plus the ex girlfriend of sean diddy combs responding for the first time today, did that exclusive cnn report gas ventura speaking out about the surveillance video that shows her being physically assaulted by what abuses? thanks. biggest stars the nba playoffs. >> i always get emotional. you more concerned about what's

today at tableau tb.com we have breaking news coming into the situation room, the fulton county district attorney, fani willis is appealing a judge's decision to dismiss six counts of the election interference indictment against donald trump and several of his co-defendants. >> let's discuss with our senior justice correspondent, evan perez, and our legal analysts analyst elliot williams. evan walk us through this appeal. what's going on here well, finally, well it's the trig attorney there in fulton county is asking the georgia appeals court to take a look at this at this decision by judge scott mcafee in which he tossed six of those 41 counts in that 40 in that 41 count racketeering case that was filed, there in fulton county. >> now, what she is asking for here is rehearing on that issue since the appeals court is already taking up another issue which is mac his decision to keep her on the case. if you remember the former president,

donald trump and others were we're seeking to get her removed from the case. and so that now that issue is now before the appeals court and what the district attorney is now doing is having this issue also being taken a look at by the appeals courts of course what this means is that this case is going to suffer some more delays given the fact that now the appeals court is going to hear a series of these issues weren't point elliot williams, why is fani willis first of all, filing this appeal? and is it likely to be successful while she has to file it now now we'll just so it's clear that there isn't an appeals free for all. >> let's explain how it works briefly. the prosecution can only appeal an issue until what's called jeopardy attaches you've heard the term double jeopardy can only appeal until a jury is seated. now, if there's a ruling that the prosecutors don't like they can they can appeal it at this early point in the proceedings. here, a few of the charges that they'd brought that they thought they have the evidence

four got dismissed by the court and they have every right to bring those up to the appeals court raise the and raise them their now it's hard to know what the appeals court will ultimately do with this wolf. these were one of the criticisms of this case is it was it was complicated. there are dozens of defendants and some pretty complicated racketeering charges. so it's hard to know what the appeals court will do. but the evan's point, this will slow things down, but two be clear. this was not a trial that case that was racing to trial to begin with, it's just going to be a further delay here. >> elliot, how much does it actually matter to the overall case whether these six counts are included or not? >> well, it'd be matters a great deal to prosecutors. prosecutors only proceed with charges when they believe they have the the evidence when they've gone to a grand jury and here there was i believe, a special grand jury first and then a full grand jury that reviewed them afterward when they believe they have what's called a readily provable offense that they had the evidence for these charges and thought that they could support them. so it is look, i've had

things tossed out on appeal. it's not tossed out by a judge. it's not a good feeling when it happens because they thought they had the evidence and so certainly that's why they're proceeding. and they think they have a legitimate claim to appealing let me get back to you as far as the new york hush money criminal trial is concerned, the jury instructions from the judge could have course be a key factor in what the ultimate verdict in this case will be. >> what can you tell us about this development well, if i may look at the jury instruction is going to be key because obviously when the jurors go in there, they're going to now be instructed by the biden. >> the judge how to look at all of that evidenced that they've heard over the last few weeks how to look at that evidence and decide what to believe and obviously, the big the big witness that everybody is focused on is michael cohen and the instructions will tell them how to take a look at the

things that they heard, not only from michael cohen, but also from the documents that prosecutors say underpins the case that they've brought, it's very, very important what we know what what the jury goes forward with as a result of this elliott closing arguments are now set to begin on tuesday hour or the prosecutors and the defendant steam for that matter, likely to approach this it's a very important part of the trial. >> what they what they'll do is think about their theory of the case sum it up in a sentence or two, and then build a several hours speech around that. that doesn't put the jury to sleep what they have to do as number one, repeated get the points that they want to put on the record. number to refute what the other side said, and then number three, and on saying this is actually how cicero structured his arguments. then number three returned to your argument at the end and say, and this is why ladies and gentlemen, you ought to convict or quit the

defendant. and so it's a lot what if science that goes into it in really thinking about how to structure these hours of words in a way that are digestible to people who are not attorneys, but also make your legal case most persuasive persuasive and compelling to them. >> i'm sure both sides will be working all weekend, getting their arguments ready. elliot williams evan perez, guys. thank you very much coming up cassie ventura speaking out for the first time addressing that 2016 video obtained by cnn showing her being assaulted by her then boyfriend sean diddy combs assignments are, going on and the tornado hit i'm going to die. >> and i thought violin earth with liev schreiber premieres june 2 at nine on cnn. >> they told us to follow our dreams ben said they were

former girlfriend of sean diddy combs is speaking out for the first time about a 2016 video showing her being physically assaulted by the wraps nar cassie ventura is public comments coming just days after cnn exclusively obtained the graphic surveillance footage. >> cnn's elizabeth wagmeister broke the story and has this follow up on ventures reaction. we want to warn our viewers some of the images in a report are disturbing cassie ventura, breaking her silence for the first time since cnn uncovered this disturbing video showing music mogul sean diddy combs violently throwing her to the ground, then kicking and dragging her on instagram, ventura thinking family, friends, and strangers writing the outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now. >> but this is only the beginning. my only asieh is that everyone open your heart to believing victims the first

time this surveillance video from 2016 and also shows combs throwing a vase at then-girlfriend ventura in the hallway of a los angeles hotel. the security camera footage seeming to corroborate part of ventura's 2023 lawsuit against diddy alleging he punched ms ventura, giving her a black eye, then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her lawsuit since-settled. also reference this. >> i gotta give a special thank you. >> a 2022 acceptance speech in which combs spoke of cassie and a much different light. >> cassie, for holding me down in a dark times but now with the ugly truth of his abuse, caught on video, did he took to his own social media sunday to respond? i mean, i hit rock bottom i make no excuses. >> my behavior on that video excusable i take full responsibility for my actions in that video. the allegations

continue to pile up against combs this week, former model crystal mckinney, filed a lawsuit alleging combs drugged, and sexually assaulted her in 2003 and comb still faces possible charges lean? to those federal raids on his home's in march, the la county district attorney says the hotel video from 2016 won't lead to new charges because the statute of limitations expires. hired cassie didn't address the video directly, but did say domestic violence is the issue. it broke me down to someone i knew never thought i would become advocates say, cases like cassius are helping to turn the tide for victims of abuse. >> it means that people who are too scared, they were too young. they felt that they'd be disbelieved long ago. but whose lives were altered? >> now have an ability to come forward and seek legal redress. cassie, speaking directly to those victims writing, i offer my hand to those that are still

living in fear. no one should carry this weight alone now when cassie filed her lawsuit back in november, it was filed under what is called the new york adult survivors act. that is a law that created a look back window for victims of abuse who is alleged incidents happened outside of the statute of limitations. now a wolf since this 2016 video, is outside the statute of limitations, the da in los angeles has said that they cannot press charges, so it has created this entire conversation of whether that statute of limitations is benefiting the abuser or the victim. now, i also want to note, lastly, that you may have notice that neither cassie or diddy mentioned each other in their respective statements about this video, while wolf that's because in their settlement agreement, i have learned from sources, they cannot speak about one another. >> interesting, thanks very much, elizabeth wagmeister in

los angeles for the excellent reporting. i want to get foreign all of this with cnn entertainment reporter lisa respers, frehse, attorney and legal affairs commentator, or riva martin and lisa, what do you make of first of all, of this first statement from cassie since the release of that horrible, horrible, awful video. >> i can tell you that she's being hailed by many people for speaking on domestic violence, but also because she really speaks, it seems like from the heart when people juxtapose her statement with diddy's apology from a couple of days ago, they're seeing a decided difference. it feels like she really wants to be a service. as elizabeth mentioned, she reaches out to those who are already in a similar situation, and i just feel like a lot of people feel for her, but also they're happy that she's speaking up. it should not take a video having to see a video of someone being abused to believe the abuse a river gassy

doesn't directly reference the brutal video of combs attacking her in that hotel but it is a very powerful statement addressing domestic violence as an important issue. >> so what's your reaction? >> well, one, just kudos to her bravo to her for having the courage to speak up after having to be triggered. i'm sure and to relive the horrors of that video, it was horrible for us to watch it, but she was the person that actually experienced the abuse from pdd for not just in that at one incident, but from what we know from that lawsuit repeated course of abuse that she received. >> and i think what's important about her statement also is hopefully it will encourage states that have opened up their statute of limitations for civil suits for victims of this kind of violence. >> also to look at those criminal statutes, the district attorney the loss and was said there will be no criminal charges despite us witnessing what is criminal conduct on that video. so as we are

opening up these statutes for civil suits and money is good, but criminal conduct needs to be held accountable in criminal court. so i hope we start to see some extension of statues in states. so that so like cassie and others can have their de, in coordinate can get justice and predators like did he will be held criminally accountable. >> lisa, as more disturbing allegations against combs have been coming to light, it seems to have given strength to other accusers to come forward what does this say about the changing culture and the responsibility of the entertainment community right now, well, wolf oftentimes when these things happen, people initially want to say, oh, you know, she's lying. >> she just wants money. and this is why it's so important for people like kasey to come forward because it's it allows people to be able to see that when you have money and you have power, it can insulate you from things like this. you know, i i've said this before that i'd heard rumors about bad behavior from duty for

years, but people did not come forward because they were afraid she was empowered to do so. she filed her suit and the the response that we're seeing, even though there are still some people who are saying, oh, maybe we don't know the whole story. i think overwhelmingly people supporting her is starting to shift the tide, which says that just because you're a man of power, just because you're a person of power, a person who's wealthy does not mean that you should be able to get away with things like this. so i think we're definitely seeing a bit of a shift in and the culture or riva combs is facing multiple lawsuits, federal agents, as you know, recently raided his homes in california and florida what is this accountability look like for diddy from a legal standpoint? >> what we know as i just said, would not likely to be any charges filed by him by the los angeles county district attorney, but that homeland security rate that's pretty significant to have federal agents, re not one, but two of your homes and stop unit airport and to confiscate items

from your person means that there is an active investigation or at least there was one when those rays took place and we may still see did he held accountable in a federal court because those human trafficking sex trafficking allegations that are in some of those civil lawsuits, we've been told that they are what the federal investigators are actually looking at as they are our investigating his conduct. so it is not clear to me at all that he is out of legal jeopardy as it relates to some kind of criminal accountability. so i think this is a case, it's going to continue to perhaps lead to the kind of charges that i think are important and required given the condo that we saw in that video yeah. i remember lisa respers, france has to both of you. thank you very much. and to our viewers, if you or someone you know, is struggling with domestic violence, you can get help by contacting the national domestic violence hotline online at hotline.org or by phone, 80079 died safe saft

justice betraying no signs of the controversy proceed surrounding him. the new york times has reported that a flag that was on display among rioters at the capitol on january 6 was flown at justice alito's new jersey vacation residents, at least four times last summer according to the times that flag with a green pine tree and the words, an appeal to heaven on it was flown at alito's we're home two years after an upside american flag, a symbol used by donald trump's supporters who challenged the results of the 2020 election was flown at alito's house in northern virginia. that flag on display in 2021, just after the january 6 attack top democrats on the senate judiciary committee today openly concerned about the conservative justices displays in start to wonder, is this just a chance and discretion her, is it a conscious declaration of his mega loyalty? >> i think the question is, how many manga battle flags? three and court justice after fly until the rest of the court takes it seriously. >> a prominent republican senator, fens alito, i just

think democrats are determined to harass members of the supreme court. obviously, they don't like justice alito or the decisions he makes alito so far has not explained the appeal to heaven flag. he said the upside down flag was raised by his wife in response to a dispute with neighbors. scholars say the appeal to heaven flag was first flown during the revolutionary war as a symbol against british tyranny. but now some believe it means something different. >> now the flag symbolizes both the nation that we live in should be a christian nation, but also that the steel of the 2020 election should be stopped. >> alitos flag or drawing concern because there are multiple cases before the supreme court involving the 2020 election and january 6, including the pivotal question of whether trump can claim immunity on election subversion charges. a critic of the supreme court says, alito should recuse himself from those cases, and there should be investigations in both the house and the senate, not only

about the flags, but the extent to which justice alito, his family, and possibly even his clerks are aligning themselves with these dark movements within american politics. >> there's no indication that alito will take himself off the january 6 cases or that fellow conservative justice clarence thomas will even though thomas, his wife ginni, engaged in efforts to reverse the 2020 election results in trump's favor and attended trump's stop the steal rally on january 6. >> i think we are in the middle of an ethics crisis at the supreme court justice alito, and the supreme court did not respond to cnn's request for comment about the flag controversy, while some republican lawmakers, including senator ted cruz and house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan, have defended justice alito and his integrity. other top republicans on capitol hill, like senator john thune and lindsey graham have criticized sized alito at least for that upside down flag at his virginia residents, wolf, ryan todd reporting, brian, thank you very much coming up a live
