4:00 pm
cnn newsroom. hi, everyone. i'm jessica dean in new york, and we begin again this hour with just 100 days until the election. and a presidential race, that's been completely up ended since president biden exited the race just one one week ago and just the past week, vice president kamala harris cemented her support and the democratic party raised millions of dollars and signed up an army of volunteers here's in key swing states. she's also effectively erased former president donald trump's polling lead. cnn senior data reporter, harry enten is joining us now to run the numbers then harry, it does come down to the numbers in all of this. so where do we stand nationally with 100 days to go tight, tight, tight hundred days to go >> i can't believe we finally gotten here. all right. this is trump versus harris nationally. look, i think the thing that i want to sort of get down in here and sort of point out is
4:01 pm
little asterisk at the bottom which points out that biden trailed trump by six points, by six points among the same pollsters that in fact had harris down only two. so democrats by mail you can that change, were able to turn what was looking like a runaway race for donald trump. and one that at this point is just way too close to call with no clear leader trump up by just one. and that could definitely change over time and tell us about some of the latest data that we're seeing in the battleground states how trump and harris are faring against each other there. yes. so you know, it all comes down to the electoral college. so why don't we look at these key battleground states harris versus trump margin once again, look, these are the great lake battleground states, the ones that we've been talking about this entire campaign. look at this, wisconsin is the one that
4:02 pm
had the biggest separation between the two of them. fox news polling this week, and it's just plus one trump. well, within the margin of error michigan a tie, pennsylvania, of course, a key state that is tied right now. and of course, what does that mean? that means that the pathway to 270 electoral votes, this was the path that of course joe biden wanted to sort of ride along is wide open for kamala harris. this is a great lakes pads. so even if she lost badda, arizona and georgia, all three states that joe biden won last time around in 2020, if she was able to sweep those great lake battleground states, wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. and we know that those states are close right now, that would get her to exactly 270 electoral votes. so this great lakes path is wide open for the vice president and then what about another potential path? because biden, when he was in that, was it that was what they were looking at. is there another potential electoral path for her yes. >> so this is the great lakes path. this was the path that joe biden basically said i
4:03 pm
don't think i can do it, but for kamala harris, this is a potential path and one that may be wide open. this is the sunbelt path or let's say that she lost in wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania, the kamala harris campaign believes that they can play in nevada arizona, georgia, and the key state down here in north carolina that joe biden lost last time around why do they think they can? can play there? they think they can play there because what we know in the national polling, for example, is that harris outperforms biden with hispanics and black voters, hispanic voters, of course, being key in nevada and arizona and african-american voters, of course, being key down here in georgia, north carolina, if she's able to sweep those, she could lose in the great lake battleground states, and she would still get to 275 electors pro-voucher so one of the key differences between harris and biden is there a lot more electoral path as illustrated by the fact that the sunbelt path is still open for the vice president. >> and so here we are 100 days from election day. when you look back at polling how much does it normally change between now and an election day?
4:04 pm
>> we have so much time to go. all right, so this is looking historically, right? how far are the polls off at this point compared to the final margin? look at this on average, since 72, the shift six points, of course this year is such an odd year with so many things happening, so many things shifting. i think it's important to point out that the biggest recent shift in history was in 1,988 when we saw a 26 point shift in the polls, michael dukakis was well ahead at this point back in 1,988. and of course, george hw bush easily won that election. i'm not saying we're going to see a 26 point shift this time around, but i do think it's important to point out that we could in fact see bigger shifts, bigger ships than normal in a year in which the unexpected i honestly think should be expected. >> i think that is good advice for everyone out there. harry enten. thank you so much. we appreciate you joining us now with more on all of this illinois democratic congressman raja krishnamoorthi, congressman, thanks so much for being here with us. it is wild. what a difference a week makes.
4:05 pm
its skin just seven days ago is when president biden dropped out of this race why do you think the harris campaign or how do you think there is campaign has been able to have such a strong start at historically strong start in this really historic moment jump again in the middle of this race you're absolutely right, the burst of enthusiasm, energy, and vitality in this campaign are staggering. >> i was up in wisconsin yesterday, i lead volunteers from illinois and from my district up to wisconsin to canvass for her. and we had carloads is people who made the track i think it's because of two things. one, because of who kamala harris is and two, because of the message that she has, a very consistently delivered namely that this is an election about the future, not about the past not about re-litigating old grievances or
4:06 pm
even past election results and also that, you know, kamala harris, has really focused on people's priorities. how do you educate your children? how do you make sure we can access high-quality, affordable health care? and how do we equip people with the skills necessary to take jobs of the future those all resonates very much with the american public. and certainly my constituents and she said herself, she considers herself the underdog in this race and she talked about that to supporters over the weekend that they're going to have to fight really hard even with all of this momentum, even with all this money, she's still considers herself to be the underdog okay how do you think the best move the needle in these battleground states i think consistently hammering home the choice between kamala harris and donald trump with regard to a number of issues. let's just take health care for example you know, trump keeps talking about rolling back the inflation reduction act, which provides $35 a month insulin to
4:07 pm
seniors. this is like a staple issue for a lot of people not only seniors, but the families of those seniors. and this is just a choice that people have to make. do you want $35 a month? or do you not? >> i think it's clear that people want that and so kamala harris continuing to talk about that to people as important. >> a second choices what kind of country do we want? do we want one where it doesn't matter the color of your skin are where you're from, or how you pray or whom you love are the number of letters in your name. there are 29 hi, jessica, i think people want a country that is inclusive. one that welcomes people from all across the planet over here to contribute to the american dream. of course i think kamala harris is groundbreaking in so many ways, but i think people want a country that it doesn't hate people because of their diversity but welcomes
4:08 pm
diversity and listen the republicans and the former president donald trump are racing to really try to define her both to their base, but they're bases already really with them, mostly to these independent voters. voters, right? that could maybe swing either way in these swing states. they're trying to paint her as ultra liberal. they're really leaning on her record and some of the things she said and then also jews specifically, immigration, the border how does she combat this? how does she address this well, i think that some of their some of their attacks are just not landing jessica, i think donald trump calling her evil and using rhetoric which is quite dangerous in my opinion, doesn't really resonate with independent voters. >> i was with a group of gen z folks this morning. and that type of language really kind of
4:09 pm
not only turns them off, but it doesn't really address their legitimate concerns about the future and so i think that kamala harris, obviously they should address the legitimate concerns such as the border. and i think she is we need to address the border. we need to also address the legal immigration system. and donald trump has been obstructing a legitimate legislative deal in congress to do that. and then secondly she should continue to hammer home her policies, her thoughts for her approach to dealing with the legitimate everyday concerns of americans the kitchen table topics that they are most concerned about and i know you also serve on the house intelligence committee. >> i do want to talk to you a little bit about the developments that we're getting out of israel and the middle east. the israeli military now saying it struck multiple hezbollah targets inside lebanon. of course, that's a response to yesterday's rocket attack likely the u.s says by hezbollah into the golan heights, which killed 12
4:10 pm
children how should the u.s. react and what role did they play in all of this? and a potential escalation? >> first of all, this attack was heinous jessica. it was definitely launched by hezbollah on israel and it killed basically 12 children on the soccer field. and they happened to be a druze muslims by the way, druze muslim israelis i think the united states has to do a couple of things. one, we have to prevent what i believe most people on all on both sides want, which is they don't want an all-out war that is extremely important. it would reap tremendous havoc, especially given the fact that hezbollah because as has over 100 thousand missiles, many of them precision guided and really would take out a lot of infrastructure and israel secondly, we have to go back to those talks and rome, which cia director william burns is conducting on behalf of the
4:11 pm
united states along with others to bring a sustained ceasefire in return for hostages and massive humanitarian aid into gaza. that is at the heart of what's going on. even on the northern front here and the more that we can calm that down, the more that we can calm down tensions on the northern border as well. >> yeah, there's been a lot of concern just in talking with a lot of it experts over the last several months as we've covered this story, that, that, that particular, that, that northern border and the conflict with hezbollah could, could escalate. and in fact, draw in the us in some way. are you concerned about that? >> i am you know, there's hundreds of thousands of people who are displaced on both sides of that border right now, you may already know this maybe like 60 to 100,000 israelis, hundreds of thousands of lebanese are displaced from their homes. >> there's tremendous turbulence in that area, and i think that what ever our envoys
4:12 pm
can do to bring some resolution with regard to that border is really important. but in addition to that, the american government, and i know joe biden's already doing this, has to make it very clear to iran who is backing hezbollah that we are going to stand by our israeli allies. and previously we brought two carrier strike groups into the mediterranean on the coast to make sure that the hezbollah knew that we would be standing with israeli government. i should i think we have to continue to show joe that we are going to be in strong support. finally, and i've mentioned this before, but, you know, the chinese have tremendous leverage with regard to the iranians. and the iranians, of course, control hezbollah, the chinese can control, can be a positive force for good here, an exerting some of that leverage and reining in iran and their nefarious activities in the
4:13 pm
region along with hezbollah's the and they also support hamas as well democratic congressman is it is a through line. >> democratic congressman raja krishnamoorthi of illinois. thanks so much. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> we're going to have much more on that rocket attack on the golan heights that left 12 dead, many of them children we're going to hear from one father, whose daughter was killed as that small community mourns what officials are calling the deadliest attack on israelis since october seven you're in the cnn newsroom right? >> if you're in new york giant less serve as our team still add in pieces still have the draft if we agency, think what let's have a conversation here. >> it's unlike anywhere else all season with the new york giants streaming exclusively on max, right now, pet dander skin cells in dirt are settling deep into your carpet fibers. stanley steamer removes the dirt you seen in the dirt, you don't you're corporates aren't clean until their stanley still team are clean

4:18 pm
can happen rahel solomon in new york is cnn the israeli military says it struck multiple hezbollah targets deep inside lebanon. >> that is their response so far to yesterday's deadly rocket attack in the golan heights, which killed 12, many of them children. and while it's not clear hear what will follow next, the concern throughout the middle east and well beyond is that israel could soon be engaged in a second full-on war on a second front. jeremy diamond reports sirens pearce the serenity of this town in the israeli israeli-controlled golan heights. and in an instant this explosion will shatter the very soul of the druze community that lives here. as residents the first responders rushed to the scene. the horror of this strike becomes clear. soccer field children's bikes, pools
4:19 pm
of blood between them 12 children, the youngest, just 10-years-old torn from this life it is the deadliest attack on civilians in israel or israeli territory since october 7. according to israeli officials, israel says hezbollah, which has frequently targeted the golan heights before, is behind the attack hezbollah denies responsibility. it was 6:00 p.m. on a hot summer evening dozens of children were playing on the soccer field right behind me when suddenly sirens rang out, seconds later, a rocket made impact just right here we're in its place now stands this black flag of mourning. but one of the most devastating parts of all of this, as you see this scene, frozen in time, is the fact that right behind us was safety, a bomb shelter. but there's simply was not enough time for these children to get inside taymor wili was looking out his window when the rocket
4:20 pm
struck and rushed to the scene. we found him that night, hours later, still trying to make sense of it all. >> well, a tourist, i saw the injured children running around. i saw blood they didn't respond to us. they were panicking. >> i saw a lot of guys gathering here, most of them didn't go down i went down here and i saw a lot of things that are way too gruesome to mention out of respect for the families and we tried to help, but it was beyond our help. >> there's nothing we can do in march. >> they'll shams morning is all that remains. thousands gathered here to pay their final respects. the site of each casket brings with it another wave of cries and wales because nightmares turn into crushing reality are photos of smiling children like 11-year-old alma can only mean one thing. >> so i reached the stadium and
4:21 pm
in the corner i saw dead bodies and body parts when i got closer to one of them, i saw a bracelet. i knew it was alma amen, father aldine is only just beginning to process the loss of his only daughter she liked soccer yeah. >> i like spot on spot and ask it and she played in she was good. >> we are good here the plea million alma is a child filled with energy she loved life she was special in school and in athletics that he now calls on his son, rayyan for comfort sir big brother and i lobbied hard but ryan's grief is all too fresh. >> ran what do you remember about your what? do you want people to know about your sister she's looked like
4:22 pm
everything about her was lovely how much limit less. >> she liked to play? just like any other kid in the end, we have a room without alma and jessica? >> it's not just the israeli government that believes that hezbollah carried out this attack. amen alma's father. he told me that he also has absolutely no doubt that hezbollah was responsible for this. he said, of course who killed my daughter. it is hezbollah. he said my enemy is hezbollah. i say it openly. jessica all right. >> jeremy diamond. thank you for that reporting. joining us now, cnn military analyst retired us army commanding general mark hertling. general, good to have you here. thanks so much first. >> where would you put your level of concern in terms of this this conflict today than this specific one escalating into an all-out war between israel and hezbollah jessica.
4:23 pm
>> it's good to be with you to always end what i'd say is from the very start of this war, i've had concerns about a two front war with israel. not only in gaza, but also in southern lebanon with hamas this only exacerbates that the fact that it was a strike on the golan on heights, it was another strike. and for those of us who monitor the daily back-and-forth fire versus counterfire between hezbollah and the israeli defense forces. this has been something that's been occurring every single day in a morning update, i get from the israeli defense forces, i see that they have had more missiles and rockets launched from lebanon into israeli territory. they've often described their strikes back at those locations. but what we're talking about now is multiple civilian casualties. young children as jeremy diamond just reported, what i'd have to say
4:24 pm
and this is a long way to answer your question. question, jessica, i think it's only raising the temperatures and the potential of attacks by israel into lebanon is only growing you give a lot of good context. >> there in the history of the last several months of what's been going on on that northern border we know that a western official told cnn today that this hezbollah strike was likely unintentional. that israel did not want to, and that israel doesn't want to trigger an all-out war in response unintentional and where it landed and who it was targeting and kind of getting at this idea that no side wants full out war is that your read on these things as well it's not jessica and interestingly, when i saw the reports of an unintentional strike, i don't know what that means. >> it's a pretty apparent that the rockets came out of lebanese territory, that they bear the markings of iranian
4:25 pm
rockets and missiles that this has been a repeated strike and it's been a taunting by hezbollah toward israel. what i've said from the very beginning is israel would be foolish to open a second front from a military perspective, i'm not talking about the politics of this, but from a military perspective, a military commander never wants to open a second front with his enemy. but when you have continuous attacks on the territory of israel by hezbollah, another terrorist organization, another organization can this supported around, you have to provide a proportional response. i think the biggest fear right now is what will be israel's proportional response? will it be continuous attacks on those points of origin where the rocket came from, or will it be something much greater? and we've all known those who study the history the israeli's wars into lebanon in 1982 and 2004 those have been somewhat disastrous for the israeli defense forces because
4:26 pm
they get caught up in a quagmire inside of lebanon. you're talking about dealing not only with terrorists, but with a nation state so it's very difficult for israel to counter this kind kind of thing from a terrorist organization that receives the blessing from the lebanese government to be in their territory. >> so that i want to get at because last night we talked to i talked with the former israeli prime minister naftali bennett and he told us the following with respect to lebanon, the lebanese government's responsibility for hezbollah. here's what he said. >> we are not going to tweezer our way through and look for hizballah amid lebanon, hezbollah as part of the government, as bola is part of lebanon and what lebanon needs to do tonight is move all of hizballah away from the border. all the way up to the river of latane. and stopped everything they're doing. that is the only way they can prevent an all-out war i'm curious what
4:27 pm
your response is to that and what your take is on that well, unfortunately, i agree with not unfortunate that i agree with him, but when the prime minister, former prime minister, talks about the litani river, that was the key objective in 1982 in an operation in israel conducted that was primarily based on shorter range rockets. what hezbollah has gained from a rhyme is longer range rockets. they can strike from a further distance than the litani river, which is about 40 kilometers from the israeli border. so yes, what you have is a lebanese government that is allowing a tariff tourist organization to operate from within their territory. there are a lot of nation states that allow terrorists to operate from within their borders. and i agree with the israeli government, the lebanese government has to gain control of these tourists and put a stop to these kind of activities which are truthfully not a military operations. they
4:28 pm
are terrorist events. they fire rockets rockets, haphazardly. these do not have a point of aim, if you will, and if it's a mistake that it hit a playground, then that would be interesting to say. but most of these rockets are area fire weapons. there unguided. so you never know where they're going to hit and what kind of severe civilian casualties they're going to have so the just truthfully, the destruction of a terrorist organization inside of a nation state is critical to establish peace between these two countries. >> alright, lieutenant general mark hertling. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> pleasure, jessica. thank you still ahead. >> after nearly being assassinated, is the former president donald trump more measured now, the former president addressed that question last night. why he says, in fact, maybe he's gotten quote, worse tonight. >> the whole story digs deeper

4:34 pm
social contract, joe walsh. joe good to see you. >> thanks for being here with us. >> we just heard that clip from the former president who after that horrific assassination attempt did pledge unity said he wanted to talk more about bringing people together. >> and now we're frankly hearing more of the same rhetoric. he says, he's quote, gotten worse what do you think jessica good to be with you this this may sound crazy to say on tv, but i think it's i think it's utterly useless and meaning, meaningless to to analyze anything donald trump says i know that's kind of odd because he's the republican nominee for president. >> so we have to talk about them. we have to talk about things he says. but jessica, he's humanly incapable of telling the truth. i mean, i mean that and think about that for a moment donald trump is
4:35 pm
humanly incapable of telling the truth, knowing that why do we even analyze what he says unlike you and jessica, when we do something wrong, we feel bad trump is humanly incapable of feeling shame. he's humanly in incapable of thinking about anyone but herself. so i think when we go down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out what does it mean when he said this i just he's not a normal person and i think it's dangerous for us for anyone to treat him normal and we also have heard from him that if he does not win, it could only be through cheating. >> this is something we've heard before. of course, this is the man that tried to convince millions of americans that an election was stolen from him when there's no evidence that that is the case yet many americans do believe that to be true despite it not being true. here's what he
4:36 pm
said they don't cheat. >> we win this state easily. >> okay. they cheat. they have no shame. they cheat. they understand that. you, crooked people that are most they chief, they cheated in the last election. and they're going to cheat in this election, but we're going to get them again, joe, it's just, it's really getting at the foundational tenants of democracy, which is it as a fair and free election, and that people can believe in the results, so they can feel good about no matter who wins that, they were kept counted correctly, that it was a fair and free election and he just keeps chipping away at it. what and jessica, we can't gloss over this and i'm so glad you brought this up. that's an attack on our democracy i mean, i mean, we have to call that for what it is that's an attack on our democracy. donald trump is attacking our election system. he's attacking are
4:37 pm
very system our democratic institutions that's, that's him an act of a traitor. either. i win or it will be stolen from me to say that before an election, jessica, anyone who says that, any candidate i've been a candidate, any candidate who says to voters, either, i'm going to win or the other side's going to those are the words of a trader, a traitor to this country. and jessica, what makes me so sad having come from trump world and i voted for trump in 2016, and i still talk to trump supporters every day as you said, jessica, they've internally why is this? they've lost faith in our election systems and even worse, like they now think that they've been cheated in life trump tells them every day that their victims and everything's rigged against them this is so
4:38 pm
dangerous and it's so un-american all right, joe walsh, we have to leave it there, but we thank you so much for your time. >> thanks, jessica. >> still ahead. nearly 4,000 firefighters are working to contain the massive park fire in california. it's now one of the biggest wildfires in state history. and we're going to take you to the front lines. here in the cnn newsroom he be, on the edge, moments that shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn. one to trade bitcoin plus oil plus gold plus so much more. >> let me introduce you to plus 500 lee intuitive and easy to use trading app that gives you a glimpse into the future futures trading. see a trading opportunity. >> you'll be able to treat it and to clicks once your account is open download the app, it started trading futures today.
