whining about her things that i say all the time to john berman about sara side. >> i'm just getting windy about are the top medicine that nikki haley is? offering up to donald trump and his campaign right now, haley warning the republican party needs to make a serious shift. >> it's going to be that kind of mourning who can make the best mcflurry or any the before it all, not donald trump says governor tim walz new reporting on the shift in the harris-walz campaign's economic mess and brand new this morning, new numbers show most women hurricane now say, they worry that abortion bans could put them or a loved one in danger. i'm sara sidner with john berman and kate baldwin. this is cnn news central okay. so
4:02 am
privately both privately and now publicly top republican allies of donald trump are saying, not only is this quote a different race he's now, but donald, but that donald trump needs to recognize that he soon heads back to back on the campaign trail to talk about the elections. number one issue, the economy. one source though inside the trump orbit, tells cnn that trump right now appears to be close in a spiral that in reference to conspiracy theories, but there is also this from nikki haley now offering some advice and maybe some tough medicine to donald trump we are 80 plus days out. we need him to win, quit whining about the campaign is not going to win. talking about crowd sizes, it's not going to win talking about what race kamala harris's it's not going to win talking about whether
4:03 am
she's dumb, it's not you can't win on those things. the american people are smart, treat them like they're smart cnn's steve contorno leading us off this hour. >> steve, the hope from allies is that donald trump can refocus what are you hearing from those around him? >> okay, there's a real concern that donald trump has not only squandered the opportunity to divide defined vice president harris, but that he is now risking alienating a lot of the people who didn't vote for him in 2020, that his campaign had hoped could be brought back into the mix with all these race space hitting attacks and the mean-spirited comments. all these off scripted remarks and especially also as well, his recent veering into conspiracies. kristen holmes and i have new reporting that that is an acute concern among his campaign these these accusations that harris has been doctoring photos about her rally sizes and they accusations that she has only been recently adopting
4:04 am
her black heritage. those are coming from the far-right fringes of donald trump's orbit. and people who yet, even though they are conspiratorial, continue to have a pipeline into trump, and that is a main concern for people in his orbit. and privately, there are people telling him that he needs to stay on message. and lately, those concerns are being made publicly as well. take a listen you've got, to make this race not on personalities. stop questioning the size of her crowds and start questioning her position. they're winning formula for president trump is very plain to see its fewer insults, more insights, and that policy contrast i talked to one conservative radio host, steve deace, who said that when the race about issues republicans wind winds about personalities democrats win and right now, trump is making it too much about personalities. kate we're gonna hear more from him today is going to be in asheville, north carolina. what are you expecting from him today well,
4:05 am
this is supposed to be a speech that is focused on the economy, but as i just said, who knows what he's ultimately going to talk about, but he did preview a little bit of what he intends to unroll rollout today in an interview yesterday with univision, take a look. we're going to get rid of inflation and inflation has hurt the hispanic population so badly, but it's hurt everybody, she's never going to do anything about inflation. she has no idea. she is even know what it means. the word means and she is she's forced to go with my policies. you know, i came out a long time ago with no taxes on tips and two days ago she said no taxes on tips. she doesn't even know what it means. >> trump's rally today will be in north carolina. kate, one of those states that a few weeks ago look like trump had solidly in his favor, but has re-emerged as a battleground in this new, new race. >> as they're saying this is a
4:06 am
different race. allies near him and your great reporting, steve. thank you so much. >> what you've got look, i mean, the entire republican party apparatus trying to will donald trump into doing things differently. how well did that work in 16 and then donald trump always does. it's a great point. we'll have to wait and see new this morning. donald trump can't make a mcflurry that is the message from governor tim walz is the harris-walz campaign begin to roll out its economic message, trying to target the middle-class and clear relatable ways in a press release this morning, they say, quote trump's record speaks for itself and this is more of what governor walz said donald trump and j.d. vance, they see the world very differently than we do. the only thing those two guys knows about working people is how to work to take advantage of them and cnn's isaac dovere is with us down when we are beginning to see the contours of what the harris economic message will be. isaac yeah, that's right. >> and we'll hear more of it later this week in north carolina where kamala harris will be herself talking about the economy should also be
4:07 am
doing an event with joe biden tomorrow, talking about lowering prices for americans, trying to make that direct argument. but look, when j.d. vance was picked for the ticket by donald trump, part of the argument that they were hoping he would make is a connection to working class poor voters that are, those the upbringing that's the upbringing that vance had himself walz is coming at this saying that he has actually had the full working class experience over his whole life and representing people and also connecting back to kamala harris saying, as they've had an ads that she worked in mcdonald's when she was in college, and that's something if we can take a listen to how he talked about it yesterday bringing up that mcdonald's contrast can you simply picture donald trump working at a mcdonald's trying to make a mcflurry or something he couldn't run that dam flurry. >> mcflurry machine if it does seem anything and look, we will see how this makes a difference
4:08 am
to voters, but this idea that donald trump is the rich out-of-touch guy is something that the harris campaign wants to have in voters minds, not just in terms of who he is, but the kinds of policies he's promoting, it's a lot of blood people wished hillary clinton had run on and that message in 2016. so it's interesting, the harris campaign is leaning into it now governor walz also really for the first time out loud address some of the questions about his military service. isaac yeah that's right like this is something that j.d vance went on the attack with last week trying to say that walz left his unit, that he was a member of the national guard for 24 years on the the belief that they were about to be deployed to iraq, that also walz talked about carrying weapons of war in war, the walls campaign to the harris-walz campaign, their aides have been trying over the course of last couple of days to clean some of this up, saying he misspoke when he said that he carried the weapons in
4:09 am
war happened one time. as for leaving before he knew his unit was going to go to iraq. there's a murky business, but it does seem like a lot of it was because walz was running for congress that year and had filed his retirement papers maybe knowing that it was a possibility but walz himself hasn't talked about this until just yesterday and he said that it was not going to he was not going to make an issue of it he's just going to thank j.d. vance for his service and that he's proud of his service. vance kept on firing back though all right. >> isaac dovere for us in washington. great to see you. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> sara had tropical storm ernesto gaining steam as it slams puerto rico and is expected to be come a hurricane. today. and a cnn exclusive, hunter biden has hired a new high high-profile lawyer ahead of his tax trial of familiar face details some who and why now and breaking overnight, russia declaring a regional state of emergency as ukraine ramps up, attacks

4:15 am
the immediate threat sara is certainly the flash flood potential from this. >> it's dumping a tremendous amount of rain. we'll get to that in just one moment. even though ernesto is a tropical storm officially, it's still acting like a hurricane for many locations across the british virgin islands and puerto rico so as it starts to pull away, these are some of the latest wind gusts that have exceeded hurricane strength. remember 74 miles per hour is that low-end category one, but that needs to be stained for it to be classified as a hurricane. so it's not quite there just yet, but certainly getting its act together. we'll get an update at 8:00 am from the national so hurricane center, maybe that happens regardless. anyway, you look at it, it is producing tremendous amounts of rain and the strong gusty winds across this area. here's the latest radar and i want you to see san juan right there. we've been monitoring this band of very heavy rain that's got about one to two inch rainfall per hour clocked across the eastern sections of puerto rico. that's why the local weather service office
4:16 am
has included san juan and the eastern sections of puerto rico under that flash flood warning that extends right through about noon local time. and you can see the additional rainfall that will occur from the storm before it slowly starts to pull away. so where's it going from here? great question. lots of open-water over the next couple of days. that doesn't mean we want to take our high off this system because it will strengthen likely become a major hurricane before it approaches bermuda. late friday into early saturday. what kind of impacts here on the u.s. no major impacts with the exception of large waves and rip currents that will emanate out from this expanding hurricane as it takes in the fuel from the warm ocean waters of the western atlantic nick, but really bermuda, this storm needs to be monitored very closely because it could be a major hurricane as it approaches the island here by the weekend and lots of wind associated with the system, of course, with a major hurricane exceeding 114 miles per hour, sara yikes for bermuda, those

4:22 am
come election day in that state, the initiative is now the newest and latest state to put abortion access on the ballot. one of several similar measures and over a half dozen states that would establish a fundamental right to abortion. and also with that this morning, a new survey showing that most women in the united states now fear abortion bans could put them or loved one in danger. cnn's meg tirrell joining us now with more information about this new survey. what else did this survey find yeah, gate, this is a survey of almost 4,000 women of reproductive age across the united states, done by health policy group kff. >> now, overall, they find about 14% of women in this sample report we're having had an abortion and that's fairly similar across party lines from republicans to democrats and women who don't report being part of either party. now, they also note that attitudes and fears about access to abortion have changed a lot after roe v. wade was overturned they say in
4:23 am
this poll that about two thirds of imane are concerned that they are someone close to them would not be able to get an abortion if they needed them to preserve their life or health. 64% are concerned that abortion bans may affect the safety of a future pregnancy and gate already 8% of people in this poll said that they had difficulty accessing needed abortion, and that was 13% and in states with abortion bans, now, they also surveyed women's attitudes toward policy on abortion, 70% of women in this survey support a nation wide right to abortion across political lines. you also see a majority of women of reproductive age saying that this should not be left up to the states that way up to more than 80% for democrats. and 53% for republican women in this age group, kate, what did the survey fine or show about women in these specific states where abortion is likely to be on the ballot as we were talking about
4:24 am
yeah, so we know that as you said, with missouri joining this list, there are about eight states that are going to have abortion on the ballot in november. >> some of those states that people are watching really closely are florida and arizona. and the survey looked at women's attitudes in those states and they found that in each of those states more than 70% of women of reproductive age say that abortion should be legal in all, or most cases so people who are invested in this issue specifically are watching this very closely in november people more broadly though of course, are wondering, is this going to drive people to the polls and influence the election in even brought our ways than just voting on these specific initiatives, cape yeah, meg, thanks so much for bringing us the reporting. >> john. >> all right. he has represented diddy michael jackson, and now hunter biden. we've got some new reporting just in on the new lawyer that joined hunter biden's legal team, new polls show voters in battleground states it's losing

4:30 am
moment for hunter biden. he's been convicted in the federal court of delaware for gun-related crimes. he had a legal team that was very prominent out of washington, dc, taking him forward in that trial, a lawyer named abbe lowell and the partners around him at a very large firm. but they're based on the the east coast and there really expensive and there's a lot of people at that firm that were working for hunter biden. and so now three weeks away from a tax trial in california's federal court, hunter biden is enlisting mark geragos, this other lawyer in california to essentially take the lead there, abby well, it's quite busy and mark geragos may be able to do things a little bit more nimbly over there in that court gets court quicker. he may be a little bit cheaper. >> and all of this comes at the same time where hunter biden is in a moment where he has had ongoing feeling out plea possibilities with the justice department, with the special
4:31 am
counsel's office. >> they really went nowhere, but there were some initial discussions after that conviction in delaware. was there a way for him to avoid going to trial in california? it hasn't gotten very far, but this is one of those situations where it's very possible well, hunter biden would be open to a plea deal if the special counsel's office was able to do something that he feels could really help him get through the next couple of months. and sort of keep his exposure to a very limited way but right now, they're full steam ahead going to trial in california barnea, he is potentially open to a plea deal, and then of course, on the table is the possibility that his father has that presidential pardon power. but joe biden has been explicit so far, saying he is not interested in pardoning his son or commuting his sentence it'll be interesting to see what geragos is able to do with the tech stuff in california, you are times overnight kaitlan
4:32 am
reporting on specific outreach from hunter biden to us officials in 2016, over burisma. what's going on here? >> yeah, john, this is coming through the state department and information that they are releasing basically in 2016, there's just another new incident of hunter biden and what he was doing on behalf of the ukrainian energy company, burisma, where he was a board member at the time his father was vice president and in 2016, he was capitalizing or trying to capitalize on his father's role in this prominent position in the us government. and hunter biden did reach out to the u.s. ambassador to italy, according to the new york times, he was asking essentially for a little bit of networking help. but the eu plus government balked they were very hesitant to want to do anything that hunter biden was requested. we've seen this over and over again in different instances with him
4:33 am
around this time where they're saying we're not going to be actively advocating in this way, especially with this ukrainian company involved and a lawyer for hunter biden didn't abbe lowell did say to the times that there was no meeting that ever actually occurred. there was no project that materialized. and of course, crucially, jon hunter biden has been investigated for years and has never been charged with any illegal foreign lobbying activity. and there's nothing where we have found his father doing anything it could have helped him whenever he was sitting in the vice presidency, john katelyn polantz. >> thank you so much for sharing your reporting. great to see you this morning. sir. >> i will take i saw sarah's over there. i know my defense defense, he's over there. you're over the debt to it. you have to get up, get your ticket vegetables before you get your dessert the economy remains gotten me remade this. you'd ever won among voters this election very clearly, both harris and trump campaigns are trying to make the case that they're the better to
4:34 am
handle it today. donald trump will make it make his case to voters in asheville, north carolina, and then kamala harris has to raleigh, north carolina on friday, where she will be rolling out. she's he's expected to roll out her economic plan in her first major policy speech, cnn's harry enten has been looking to set the table for us, looking at how some of the messaging has been landing with voters so far, let's talk about donald trump because he has been leading on this issue with voters threw out, what are you seeing now? >> what are we seeing right now? zero point perhaps i can make the medicine go down a little bit easier on this particular topic all right, this is trust more on the economy, those key great lake battleground states, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, and what i want you to take it away from this is twofold. number one, donald trump still leads on who they trust more harris versus trump here in august, he leads by six points. all right? so what does a good issue for him, but it's not nearly as good of an issue as it was back in may. and who do you trust more on the economy in these key great lake battleground states when it was biden versus trump, when trump was ahead by 14 points. and this is
4:35 am
something that we've generally been seeing in the polling that is the strength for donald trump had becoming less strong. he is not ahead by as much on these issues and this of course is so important because this has been the number one issue that he's been hammering away at. and when you're up by 14, it's much easier to make that economic argument up to those key great lake battleground state voters than when you're up by six and it's just part of the larger picture that donald trump has been struggling once kamala harris has gotten into this race overall, and on his number one issue as well, still leading, but leading by not as much correctness issue what about kind of digging into not just among all likely voters how about among the key constituency for donald trump in the past and present, which is white working class vote, exactly right? >> so you know, white working class voters, non-college white voters have been donald trump's core constituency. and so it's not really much of a surprise here that when we're looking trust in the economy, trump has a larger lead with them overall. 24 point lead over kamala harris. and who is more trust in those key great
4:36 am
battleground states. great lake battleground states. but look at this, look again at the trend line. a trend lines here are so important because don trump at a 36 point lead laid back in may that has been cut by 12 points. and again, this is the real problem for donald trump because elections are not just about winning groups. it's about driving up the margins with the group's your strongest with enclosing the margins among the groups, your weakest with. and this is his strongest group in the electorate. and his lead simply put, kate is not any we're near is strong and this goes in part with the fact that he is actually not leading as much overall in the horse race with white working class voters. once kamala harris gun race, and i think this has kind of one of those interesting sort of nuggets because one of the reasons joe biden had been arguing to stay him was he felt that he could reach voters that kamala harris couldn't reach specifically non-college white voters. but in this particular case, he is doing donald trump is doing worse, gets kamala harris online work for both of them to do on this front. we shouldn't see they're going to be heading on the trail this week. that is the focus that's
4:37 am
great. see you, harry. thank you sir. >> all right. for more on this discussion on kamala harris has strategy. i'm joined by democratic congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz of florida welcome to the program. thank you so much for being here. i don't know if you were able to hear what harry was saying about the data indicators despite the economic indicators that have been fairly good, americans still say, look, they're feeling really, really bad. they're struggling personally because of high prices during this administration. and in these key battleground states, donald trump still gaetz higher numbers when it comes to how he handles the economy mr. vice president harris, part of this administration, does she need to differentiate herself from joe biden on the issue of the economy. now well, look, i mean, i represent a congressional district in south florida and out talking to my constituents all the time.
4:38 am
>> and there's no question that even though there's been remarkable progress and the economy, we have your post-covid, the best economy in the world more than 15 million jobs created during this administration. you have jobs that have been reassured thanks to the chips and science act for computer chip manufacturing. but investments in infrastructure. but when i talk to my constituents and folks around the country, it is really tough when that grocery bill is still too high. it's really tough when they ask prices. we want them to continue to come down. but the contrast that the campaign, vice president harris and tim walz will present over the course of the next few weeks is clear. donald trump is someone who, when he was president prioritized tax cuts for the wealthiest, most fortunate americans they deposed, making sure that we can continue the affordable care act. health care costs are often the most significant price point when it
4:39 am
comes to family budgets that can kill families when they have a health care crisis. kamala, harris and tim walz have focused on making sure that we can continue to invest in working families to fight proust, price gouging like kamala harris did when she was attorney general in california successfully, she'd beat back the pharmaceutical companies on their on their prices thing, on cosmetic companies and many others. so the contrast is clear. donald trump took care of the rich kamala harris and tim walz and their leadership roles have taken care of making sure that they focus on middle class and working families and making ends meet i want to ask you about another policy issue in 2019, when harris was running kamala harris said illegal border crossing should be a civil enforcement issue, but not a criminal enforcement issue. >> and she said she would close migrant detention facilities on day one. do you expect her? to change those policies or for those to be her policies now
4:40 am
what i expect from a president harris is what should already have been law, but isn't because donald trump pressured as successfully the maga republicans in congress that i started with not to pass a bipartisan immigration reform deal that would have addressed so much of this border crisis because the republicans really don't care. donald trump doesn't really care about solving the border crisis wears that wall that mexico was supposedly going to pay for we are focused under vice president harris and president biden on trying to really get things done. you've seen a huge drop in attempted border crossings thanks to the policies of biden and harris that have brought down the that have brought down the motivation to have migrants approach our border. they know that they're not going to likely be able to cross and is successfully into the united
4:41 am
states. and we've invested and vice president harris lead those efforts in countries like guatemala, where you've seen a huge drop in attempts to come come to our border because life is getting better there. that's the balance we have to strike donald trump wants to deport and has committed to support mass deportations as soon as he becomes president. >> let me ask you about something that has come up with her vice presidential pick, governor tim walz of minnesota. he appeared multiple times with a cleric and leader in the month some community who has posted anti-semitic con, content. the imam asad zaman had shared a link in 2015 to a neo-nazi propaganda film that portrayed adolf hitler in a positive light and three years later, this is what walz said about him i would like to first of all, say thank you to the imam i am a teacher, so when i see a master teacher, i know it and over the time we've spent
4:42 am
together, one of the things one of the things i've had the privilege of you're seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher to try and get the understanding listening today to the stories and what it means now fast forward to now and after october 7, attacks by hamas on israel, the imam shared some anti-israel party posts the governor's campaign said that walz doesn't have a personal relationship with a mommy the has been with him several times at public events. >> is the man says that he shares things without fully looking at them. are you concerned about this we're walz is showing up with a mom over and over and over again with this relationship i known tim walz and served with him in congress and he's been a dear friend of mine for many years. and if there's anything i'm confident in its that tim walz is going to continue to give voice to the voiceless to fight back against hate, particularly anti-semitism as he has
4:43 am
continually done he spoke out immediately after october 7, condemned hamas hamas's attack has insisted that the hostages come home and has always had a strong pro israel voting record alongside vice president harris when she was a us senator this isn't administration under vice president harris that adopted the first national strategy to combat anti-semitism, making it a top priority for every federal agency and has been focused on implementing that i want to make sure that we have a president and vice president, harris and walz in office so we can continue to ensure that there are people running this country that actually care about fighting hate and reducing anti-semitism instead of hosting not neo-nazis for dinner like donald trump has done. and instead of sitting down with an anti-semite himself, elon musk who has promoted anti-semitic trump, trump's on his platform tim
4:44 am
walz, kamala harris, they fight antisemitism and donald trump sits and j.d. vance sit down and dine and cohort with anti-semites, pretty big difference congress from wasserman schultz, thank you so much for being here this morning. >> appreciate you sweetener. good new reporting this morning on ukraine's incursion into russia, there is new video that shows ukrainian truck carrying blindfolded men in russian military uniforms. you can't see them right now because they're blurred out in that video we are learning the belgorod region inside russia has declared a state of emergency. now cnn's clare sebastian joins us with the very latest. what are you learning? clare yeah, good morning, john. >> that video i think it's worth noting what we're learning about that and it was filmed by afp, is that it appears to show a ukrainian pickup truck carrying what appeared to be russian possibly prisoners of war away from the russian border the into
4:45 am
ukraine. and seeing that some ten days ago would have seemed virtually impossible. but this comes as ukraine is becoming having said very little for the first few days of this operation is becoming increasingly explicit about its motives here, the primary motives seem to be to sort of pull russian troops away from the vulnerable areas of the frontline. and ukraine ease pressure there and they say to try to force russia into peace. but another part of this, according to president zelenskyy, is to do what he calls replenishing the exchange fund. so essentially capturing more russians so they can then he traded for ukrainians still in russian captivity in the last hour or so, we've heard from a call that was recorded between zelenskyy and his commander in chief. the commander-in-chief saying that they've captured some 100 russian soldiers. this is his claim since the beginning of the day. if you're looking for metrics of success for ukraine in this operation, this part, at least seems to be working though of course this may well come at a pretty heavy cost
4:46 am
also for ukrainian troops, they are still though on the advance. john still on the advanced. >> as of this morning, clare sebastian. >> thank you so much for that update coming up next, a cnn investigation into the quote, nightmare conditions at a failed farming startup that was promoted what'd and partially funded by republican vice presidential nominee j.d. vance cnn is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their support to a new nominee and her running mate fellow cnn for complete coverage, the democratic national convention monday at seven on cnn. >> and streaming on max with car gurus, you can start your financing from home if only you could do things your way all the time maybe someday get up with gurus if you're shopping for a hall realtor.com, real commute tool lets you find homes close to work, school.
