certain oh, and welcome to all you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. >> this is cnn newsroom, former us president donald trump says, he's pulling out of the abc presidential debate and instead plans to face off against vice president harris on fox news who's this development comes as harris clinches enough votes to secure the democratic nomination. the u.s. is sending more military forces to the middle east as israel where greece braces for a possible retaliation from iran and new concerns for the u.s. economy as stocks take a tumble live from atlanta. this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber why are we begin with several new developments in the us presidential race. donald trump's as the abc news presidential debate is off, and he wants a fox news debate

instead kamala harris meanwhile, is headed into a pivotal weekend a final candidate interviews as she prepares to choose a running mate now all comes after harris formally earned enough delegate votes to clinch the democratic nomination. historic first, we have more details now on all those developments beginning with cnn's sunlen serfaty in washington i am so proud to confirm that vice president harris has earned more than a majority of votes from all convention delegates, 50 and cnn friday that vice president kamala harris has won enough votes from democratic tickets to become the party's nominee for president. i will officially accept your nomination next week. once the virtual voting period is closed but already i'm happy to know that we have enough delegates to secure the nomination. >> harris is closing in on one of the most consequential decisions her political career

as she is set to debut, her running mate on tuesday in philadelphia. >> philadelphia on tuesday, by chance sources tell cnn that harris has not made a decision yet, but is scheduled to meet with top finalists over the weekend with most expected to be in person. those set to meet with harris include minnesota governor tim walz, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, arizona senator mark kelly kentucky governor andy beshear transportation secretary pete buttigieg, and illinois governor jb pritzker some contenders shifting their schedules as harris nears a decision, every day just speak the schedule that because things come up, calls and meetings that we have to take care of, what those others joking about fellow hopefuls clearing their calendars lollapalooza is happening this weekend here in chicago. >> i've heard other governors talk about how they've canceled their weekend plans. i was going to perform, of course, with blink 182 all right. dave, but i've canceled in order to

clear my schedule, the meetings poised to play a critical role in her selection process sources tell cnn harris is looking for a running mate that she gets along with personally and will not be a distraction, but her top consideration is electability assessing which contender will help most with independents and swing voters, especially in the battleground states. to donald trump stop talking. america this is the greatest country on the face of the earth shapiro walz and kelly are seen as a top contenders with beshear also being looked at closely, shapiro and kelly hailing from key battleground states, this is not about me. this is about donald trump. and what sad figure he has become the vice president is spending her weekend here in washington at her home at the u.s. naval observatory. and sources tell cnn that these face-to-face meetings, they are absolutely

hello. critical to her decision making process ahead. and certainly, there could be additional candidates added to her schedule throughout the weekend. a critical few days ahead as you works towards making that big decision by tuesday, sunlen serfaty, cnn, washington donald trump says he's back king out of the abc debate. >> he previously agreed to and joe biden was the presumptive democratic nominee. now the republican nominee says he has agreed to participate in the debate moderated by fox news instead. according to trump, the new debate would be hosted in pennsylvania on september 4, with a live audience. it's not clear whether kamala harris has accepted the invitation from fox news, the harris campaign didn't immediately respond to cnn's request for comment. meanwhile, trump and vance are heading to a key battleground state this weekend, he will appear together in a rally here in atlanta, georgia today. over 300 georgia republicans won't attend, including state governor brian kemp the event

will take place in the same venue where vice president kamala harris addressed a packed crowd last tuesday. >> trump's campaign has been forced to rework some of its electoral strategy since president joe biden stepped aside, the dynamics of the race could shift again based on who kamala harris chooses as a running mate and team, trump is paying attention cnn's kristen holmes has that for president donald trump may be saying what he has always said, that if vice presidential candidate doesn't matter, but that doesn't mean that he's not watching very closely what kamala harris chris decides he was actually asked about this in an interview that aired on friday. >> here's what he said. >> if she picks shapiro, she's going to lose the palestinian vote. >> obviously questions about what exactly he means by a palestinian base. but notably there he only goes after governor josh shapiro. this is something we have seen from the campaign we even heard vice-presidential well, nominee j.d. vance saying that josh shapiro talked like obama is unclear what kind of criticism was there, but it was something

that he was clearly saying as some sort of but it is interesting that they've fau, honed in on shapiro, particularly given the importance of the state that he represents. he's obviously the governor of pennsylvania, a critical battleground state. but the other part of this that is widely popular in that state. this is another state met many of the battleground states in which donald trump's team was feeling incredibly confident. go going into their race with joe biden. but now the calculus has all shifted. and again, this is clearly on their radar moving forward, there'll be watching this weekend. kristen holmes, cnn, washington and joining me now from elizabethtown pennsylvania is koco is a political science professor at elizabethtown college, and he is the co-author of the book due running mates matter, the influence of vice-presidential candidates in presidential elections. >> thanks so much for joining us here. so we've heard donald trump minimizing the importance of his own running mate with the comments of j.d. vance will

not have an impact on the 2024 white house race and the j.d. vance said in response, he kind of downplayed his own relevance are they right in purely electoral terms do running mates matter literally, the title of your book well, thanks so much for having me and short. >> they do matter, but it's often overstated. trump isn't too far off the mark. and as observations, so we do a deep dive into this in our book, my co-author, chris devine at the university of dayton and i, we estimate hundreds of statistical models using a wide range of voter databases dating back decades. and what we find is really keith three key things. first of all, but running mate is unlikely to deliver their home state. so a battleground on state and i know there's a lot of speculation about that every presidential election, and we also find little evidence at running mates generally deliver a key voting bloc of voters. but where they can really make

a difference is how they influenced perceptions of the presidential candidate that's the really key thing here. selecting a running mate sends an important signal. it sends information to voters about what the presidential candidates priorities and objectives are. >> so that probably the most important way are running mate matters. but your own research suggests that the kamala harris, in terms i'm so delivering voter blocs is kind of the exception that proves the rule, right? at least in 2020 that's right. >> whenever we dug into this for the 2020 campaign, we did find evidence that harris was more popular among african-american voters. and in particular african american women voters. but the effect was relatively small. so that's not to diminish her effect at all. but the point being is in the forthcoming research that we used here for this particular analysis we

found that democratic particularly african american voters, women voters, africa can american women voters were statistically more likely to favor the democratic ticket in 2020 so the marginal return for that block of voters was relatively small, but it was there in the statistical analysis. >> yeah. and then obviously in a tight race, these things could make all the difference. so as we heard in the clip earlier, the trump campaign in targeting pennsylvania's josh shapiro, a popular swing-state governor. you are where you are right now in pennsylvania. so your research suggests basically, i guess that if if harris if the harris campaign is hoping for a big boost in that massively important states they could be disappointed. is that right that's true. what we find over time is that there really isn't a lot of evidence to suggest that home-state candidates, at least vice presidential candidates deliver an electoral advantage. the

opposite is true for presidential candidates. there is evidenced that presidential candidate and it's performed better in their home states than other states. and i think you have to think about it this way whenever voters go to the polls, they're generally voting for the president, united states. >> that is the candidate at the top of the ticket. that's candidate that has the most power while the vice president is part of the ticket or research, shows that they are not nearly as influential evaluations of presidential candidates matter at least three times more than that, a vice presidential candidates so hypothetically, in order for a vice presidential candidate to really make a tremendous difference friends they would have to be exceptionally popular particularly in their home state. >> and we just don't see that happening very often. now, is it possible theoretically, yes, but we just haven't seen that in past elections very often. >> so if the choice of running mates says something about the presidential candidate

themselves, i want to flip this now to donald trump's running mate, j.d. vance. i mean, he hasn't had a great start, fair to say, making a bunch of comments that the campaign have admitted aren't helpful crazy cat ladies comes to mind so does does that matter? do you think i mean, if the vice president helps to shape perceptions about the presidential candidate, i don't imagine to many trump voters will care too much about a little more controversy, will they probably not. >> i think by selecting j.d. vance to trump campaign was really looking for someone that would support donald trump's policies and be lockstep with him on those issues. now, obviously, there's a lot of coverage about pass controversial statements at j.d. vance made, particularly being critical of donald trump before vance was elected to the united states senate. >> but at least in the past few years and certainly on the campaign trail there hasn't

been a lot of daylight between these two individuals. >> i think that appears to be an important consideration in selecting vance yeah. >> but you don't think with all the trouble he's been in that he could get replaced. i mean, that's pretty fairly unprecedented it's probably unlikely now it's not unheard of this actually happened in the 1972 presidential election. some viewers may remember that thomas eagleton was forced to step aside as the vice presidential nominee that year after reports surfaced that he received electroshock treatment and was battling variety of mental health issues. obviously, that was a different time, but it's not unprecedented in the modern era all right, we shall see as we await, kamala harris as vice presidential pick, interesting to consider all the information that you gave us there called koco. >> thank you so much. >> thank you very much for having me will the u.s. >> is flexing its military muscle in the middle east, which is on edge over fears that iran could retaliate

against israel. white house is sending a naval strike group led by the aircraft carrier uss abraham lincoln that's after iran vowed to attack israel following the assassination of hamas political leader ismail haniyeh into ron, this week, israel has neither confirming nor denying involvement, but the white house says irans threat should be taken seriously we've heard the supreme leader loud and clear that he intends to avenge this killing of a hamas leader in tehran. and that they want to conduct another attack on israel we can't just assume that we aren't also potentially going to be victims of that kind of an attack. so we got to make sure we've got the right resources and cape mobilities in the region meanwhile, haniah was buried in qatar on friday after a funeral procession attended by thousands prayers were held for him in several countries and anti israel rallies broke out after the ceremony. >> all right, we have cnn's salma abdelaziz standing by in london. but first we go to ben

wedeman, who's in beirut. so ben, with the tensions ratcheting up so high, what is the current situation and the reaction there certainly people are very concerned that this time after ten months of sort of up and down tensions at this time actually, it could get very bad. >> now, this morning, there was an israeli drone strike on a car about but 16 kilometers or ten miles north of the border with israel killing one and injuring several others. now, we don't know what hi the target was but yesterday we saw the usual back-and-forth between hezbollah and israel, largely restricted to the border the area which is basically the routine down there. but the other day hassan nasrallah, the secretary general of hezbollah, did say hey, that group will respond to the killing of odd shukr. here

in beirut. and it's not a question of when i'm rather if it's just a question of when not buffers, the unforeseen, we are not seeing, we are reserving the right to respond. we will respond to this is definite. >> when unhelpful adobe enemy and those behind her enemy should wait for our definite response. >> there was no discussion or debate when he refers to those behind the enemy. >> i think he's clearly referring to the united states, which is deploying an extra carrier group to the region. it's also deploying a destroyers and cruisers to the region. with the ability to provide the ballistic missile defense is certainly the united states which was unable to restrict in israel when it comes to, for instance the killing we believe of its ismail haniyeh in to head on.

it's working through it friends in the region cut and others to try to call on israel, or rather iran to practice restraint now we did see a tweet from the run-in embassy. here in beirut saying whoever laser hand on this country, lebanon that hand will be cut stern warning there. >> ben wedeman. thank you so much. i want to go now to salma abdelaziz in london. so salma, obviously, israel bracing for an unexpected attack, what more can you tell us? >> absolutely. and it's really citizens are being told and reminded of their local bomb shelters. we've also understood that from some grocery stores across the country, people are stocking not than people are truly afraid in worried, and they are angry. kim, that's what's important to remember here. prime minister netanyahu is under pressure, not just from the international community but from within

domestically, there was huge demonstrations last week demanding that he take a ceasefire deal demanding he bring the hostages just home. meanwhile, prime minister netanyahu only seems to be aggravating tensions with this series of assassinations that have further pushed the proxies around the region i've instigated iran to vow this retaliation, but what will that retaliation look like? that's what you hear from our colleague ben, what us officials are preparing for because it does not have to come this response does not have to come directly from macron through ron could easily activate its tentacles around the region and then you have that retaliation coming from iraq or syria, or yemen in that means us assets that's on the ground, potentially threatened us troops, potentially threatened. you'll remember at the beginning of the year, there was three us service members killed along the jordan-syria border. we had this huge barrage hajj of missiles and rockets that were fired by iran in april. that's the response that they may expect in this time, but it

could be wider just as i mentioned in all of that only escalates in grows the scope of this conflict you might ask me, well, how do we calm it down? how does the temperature cool while there's very little hope or russian for that right now, kim of course, when the chief mediator, the chief negotiator for palestinians, is my hernia is assassination is what has triggered this escalation in the first place, kim. >> all right. salma abdelaziz in london. thank you so much now to breaking news, at least 32 people are dead in another 63 injured after an attack at a beachside restaurant in the somali capital of mogadishu that's according to somali state media, the militant group, all shabaab, is claiming responsibility for the attack, saying they were targeting somali officials and officers according to one intelligence group, state media say six members of the somali mills and groups targeted the restaurant using a suicide bomb the news agency says, security forces quote neutralized five of the

that deal. >> president biden and vice president harris greeted them when they arrived at joint base andrews late thursday night, ef3, uss and freed from russian custody or beginning their second day in army medical center in texas. and the government program to help them readjust to being back home cnn's rosa flores is in san antonio with the latest you've probably seen the emotional videos of the freed americans and bracing their family members sometimes with the first time in years. and what you don't see is the trauma, the emotional scars from the detention, and the isolation. and that's one of the reasons why they're here in san antonio, texas and look, their treatment started shortly after they landed in kelly field we were there are cameras were rolling. we witnessed as the freed americans exited the plane with their families. and shortly thereafter, members of the state department and the white house told them that they

were handing them over to a us army colonel who explained that they would be transported to the facility that you see behind? hi me, which is brooke army medical center. and there was also a group of psychologists that explained to them that their priority would be there. well-being and process that with me for just a moment because in some instances these freed americans had been detained for years in russia and the priority of russian authorities was not the well-being of these americans. but this is how they were welcomed here in texas with that news that they were going to be taken care of. the other thing that they learned is that that the time with their family was also going to be integrated in their treatments. so not only would they be evaluated medically, but they would also have some family time. we asked paul whelan about that family time, and here's what he said

so looking forward to seeing my family down here and just recuperating from five years, seven months, and five days of just absolute nonsense by the russian government. take a look at this video. these freed americans know that they're not alone they held a hostage and wrongful detainee flag. and then at one point, paul whelan pointed to the last three bars on that flag and say said those are the three americans that had just made it back on american soil rosa flores, cnn, san antonio, texas the man accused of being the mastermind behind the timber 11th terrorist attacks could now face the death penalty after a surprising turnaround from the u.s. defense secretary, we have details coming up and troubling new jobs numbers trigger a rough finish to the week on wall street. that's raising new concerns about the state of the u.s. economy just ahead of the election or details coming up, stay with us this election

look. you can see the entirety of it on your screen right now in it, austin wrote that it was his authority alone to enter into a plea agreement like this, and that he had revoked the plea agreements, announced only two days earlier, as well as relieving of authority the person in charge of reaching those agreements the agreements themselves had been in the works for at least two-and-a-half years. so it can't have been a surprise to the pentagon and the white house that these discussions were ongoing. we reported on it as well as other media outlets that there was an effort to reach the plea deal. and the deal itself was viewed as a bit of a victory in the case of khalid sheikh mohammed, or more commonly known as ksm tim and two of his alleged coconspirators. and that's because the cases against them, we're so long and complex delayed over more than a decade and there were significant legal questions about whether evidence can be admitted that had been obtained from ksm under torture that made these incredibly difficult and complicated cases in the plea deals ksm and his two alleged

coconspirators agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges, as well as all of the other charges they faced in exchange for a life sentence or the death penalty had been taken off the table. and that is why it received significant bipartisan backlash. as well as ferocious backlash from the families of the victims here. now the question is, where does this go from here, austin wrote in that memo via authority is his alone. it's now up to the military prosecutors who had been looking at this case for so long, who had seen it, delayed so long where this goes from here, and what promised to have been a very lengthy and complicated case, oren liebermann, cnn at the pentagon tough economic figures are causing new concerns on wall street. >> disappointing jobs report sent stocks tumbling on friday, the dow close out with a 612 point loss just days after the fed suggested inflation has slowed enough for rate cuts to begin in september for now, earlier in friday's session, the dow had dropped more than 900 points? yes. and p 500

finished the day down nearly 2% and the nasdaq fell 2.4% all this as new figures revealed, the u.s economy added just 114,000 jobs in july, which is far below economists estimates of 175,000 the nation's unemployment rate rose from 4.1% to 4.3 an algerian boxer is fighting a torrent of online abuse as she competes at the olympic games. her gender as being called into question by prominent figures like donald trump, elon musk, and jk rowling and her accomplishments in the ring are being overshadowed by misinformation. melissa bell sets the facts straight in this report it was a quick win for algerian boxer in money. >> he leaf defeating italian opponents, angela carini after only 146 seconds in the ring. he leaves powerful opening barrel i'll just blows left carini in pain, retreating to her corner and withdrawing from the fight.

>> but they're continues to be a backlash over the victory with some critics questioning whether he leaves should have been allowed to compete in that ring. >> atoll. and claiming that he khalife is a man or transgender something ioc officials haven't statically denied the algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female boxers, a female has a female possible. this is not i transgender case the controversy over he leaves gender has been fueled in part by her disqualification from the 2023 world boxing championships i'll for the international boxing association says she and another boxer failed and unspecified gender eligibility test but the ioc cleared he found the other athlete to fight in the paris games. casting doubt on the test, there was previously used by the iba, which was stripped of its recognition is the official boxing body for the games by the ioc for corruption and financially related issues.

>> italian prime minister giorgia meloni said she didn't think the fight between khelif and carini seemed fair and raised her concerns with the ioc you ban soggy at lady again, i think that athletes who have, let's say male genetic characteristics should not be allowed to compete in women's competitions. and not because we want to discriminate against anyone but to protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms and some spectators say they wish that the ioc had done more to head off for central backlash before the fight began. i'm sure it was hard for her to decide to compete when she knew she was going to be getting a lot of criticism. i wish her all the best and i know everyone but it has their own opinions, so i mean, the italian is entitled to forfeit. >> i think it's an important topic and it has to be addressed unfortunately, it wasn't addressed before the competition, and therefore, it's tragic for both parties. >> carini since said that she's sorry for not shaking. he leaves hand after the match

and that she respects the ioc's decision to allow her to compete but the ioc says there has been a wave of online abuse against khelif. that's ongoing and rooted in misinformation. >> the other box or who fell foul of the international boxing associations eligibility rules last year at the world championships in new delhi is linn you ting the taiwanese boxer who here in paris this friday, took on an awesome becca opponent, winning all three of her rounds. the ioc's strongly supported both relief and linn's right to compete and says that it's in close contact with both athletes. haley will get her next shot in the ring on saturday when she faces the hungarian and luka, her mori melissa bell, cnn, paris so he's competitions at the summer olympic games in paris are already off to a winning start for some. >> so here's the metal count so far, host nation france just picked up another silver medal in the women's 25 meter pistol final south career won gold and hungry went home bronze, france

and australia are still tied with 11 gold medals each with china is the one to beat. so leading the pack with the most gold medals team usa's to leads the pack with the most metals overall all right, for more on what we can expect from today's events. i'm joined now by cnn sports analyst christine brennan, live in paris. christine not a bad day, not about competition so far for the host country, right? >> oh. that's right, kim, i've been at this swimming pool and i've got to tell you the sound level that decibels my am, my watch has actually gone off saying it's too loud. and that is all for leon marshawn, who won his fourth gold medal for for, for intense pressure, the weight of a nation on his shoulders. and he did it. and it was majestic and he celebrated as you would expect, he would each time just jumping out of the pool, standing there a man in triumph he has exceeded all expectations. it
