you are in the cnn newsroom. >> hi, everyone. i'm jessica dean in the cargo with cnn special coverage of the democratic national convention and the stage is set you're in chicago where less than 24 hours away from the opening? the 2024 democratic national convention vice president kamala harris is ascension to the top of the ticket, making this a dramatically different events from what we were expecting. just a month ago. so let's take a look at this week's scheduled opening night will feature the man many thought would be accepting this nomination. president joe biden former president in the brock obama, headlining tuesday night on wednesday, governor tim walz delivering his vice presidential acceptance speech. and it's all building up to thursday night when vice president kamala harris will accept the democratic nomination for president.

>> a party that was struggling to gain any momentum will be going into this convention week with the wind at their backs, we have new polling from washington post, abc news, and ipsos out this morning, it shows harris up for points in a head-to-head matchup with donald trump. >> that is aside the margin of error. cnn's jeff zeleny is joining us now, jeff, there's a lot to dig through in this new polling that we're getting. and it really underscores how dramatically different this landscape is. >> just get. we cannot overstate how different this race is. it was one month ago today that the republican convention was ending in milwaukee. think of of everything that's changed in one month, but that is all going to be underscored here on the convention floor when you talk to democrats, they are united. they're excited, but they also know that this is still a tough race. let's look at those polls against so interesting that washington post poll, it is showing vice president harris 49 to 45% for other former president. and when you add in rfk junior, it

tightened somewhat, but the reason this is happening, if you look inside these polls, there's no doubt the vice president is consolidating her base. younger voters, voters of color, and female voters are rallying behind her. if you look at our cnn poll of polls, which is an average of all the polls that is showing again, within the margin of error via vice president eric to 50% donald trump at 48%. but it shows the democrats are back in the game. but again, a very close race. however, look at these battleground polls. this is certainly more instructive than the national polls. the new york times, sienna college poll shows that the vice president now has a lead in three of the four of these jobs. which are the only exception here. this is coming on the heels of last week's polls in the blue wall states of wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. so taken together this is something democrats have not really enjoyed this moment yet in this race, they are at a narrow advantage, but it's an advantage nonetheless and momentum is on her side. so perhaps the biggest question, the big you guessed, i've been coming out of this four or five days from now. does she keep

that momentum and conventions are scripted affairs. so there's every reason to think that she will, as she is sort of a filling the blanks here with a roster of people raising her up former presidents, the current president et cetera. >> right. and still a lot of americans being introduced to her in a meaningful way for the first time in a lot of ways at now, listen this convention was dramatically up ended when the president dropped out. this was going to be one convention a month ago. it's another one now these, as you mentioned, highly scripted of affairs, planned months and months and months in advance. what are you expecting to see this week? >> i think what i'm expecting is to really, as we're watching the changing of the guard moment, there is know that when president biden walks into this hall tomorrow night, he's going to get the loudest welcome, the biggest welcome. a hero's welcome. but then he will take his leave. and this is now her party after that. but i think every person speaking from the stage, they're going to be talking about her sort of getting a lesson for democrats on the way forward. i'm really looking at this speeches from the former

president's, i think few people can frame this argument better than barack obama and bill clinton. i'm thinking back to the 2012 convention when bill clinton was brought on to explain to americans why the economy would be better under barak obama. so both of them will be in that role. well, and also the speech from a doug emhoff on tuesday night, he is going to be telling people who kamala harris is. she is famous, but she's unknown respect so that's what this conventions about sort of filling in some of the blanks around her and then it's off to the races. >> it is going to be fascinating to see and then look for it's debate is right around the corner. >> sure isn't she's already been preparing for that as she's getting her speech ready for the convention. >> it is a condensed time frame. all right. jeff zeleny. thank you. as always, want to turn now to the senior spokesperson for the harris-walz campaign, adrianne elrod. adrian, always great to have you on. thanks for being here we hear jeff just laying out kind of what's at stake here, what we've seen transpire over the last nine

months. >> yeah. >> you've been involved you were with the biden campaign now with the harris campaign, what is that shift been like and what can people expect that might be different than the convention they were going to see just a month ago. yeah. well, look, it is certainly been a shift. >> right. because present and biden was our nominee and now vice president harris is our nominee but a couple of things near the campaign team is largely intact. i mean, the same people who were running different departments on the campaign are still running those departments. jen o'malley, dillon the chair of our campaign is still the chair. julie rodriguez is still the campaign managers. so a lot of the infrastructure is still very much the same in the message is, you know, obviously vice president harris has her own message that she's delivering. but in terms of what we stand for, the values of being the democratic party party, you know, the values of fighting for working class people fighting for the middle class. you know, looking forward, not backward, those values are still very much intact and very thematic of our, of our campaign. and what you will see this week here in chicago is, you know, president

biden really passing the torch to the next generation to borrowed a very commonly used this phrase. and in vice president harris will talk about her vision. she'll lay out her plan and you'll see a number of validators talking about her, you know, people who worked from her with her when she was attorney general, people who worked with her in the senate, people who have worked with her a different parts of her career really going on stage and validating her and cheered the point that you and jeff just talked about really kind of re-introducing her in what she stands for to the american people and getting at that point kind of nestle deepen this new cbs news yougov poll is it statistic, i think is really interesting, which is that 36% of voters say they still don't know what she stands for. compared to 14% for trump. that could be an opportunity for you all to really impress upon people her message, and have her introduce herself. it's also an opportunity for the trump campaign to continue to define her. how do you blunt them from doing that and make sure it's your message that gets to those 36%. >> well, you know, first of all, that is what the next four

phase will be like. >> here we will be telling the story of her, what she stands for, what her vision is for the american people. stephanie cutter, who is brilliant, who ran the 2020 convention in the inauguration president biden is leading the charge here. really making sure that we're telling that story. so we have a really smart team in place. it is using messaging messaging and incorporating that in a way that i think the american people who are tuning in hopefully every night we'll come out of this understanding what she, what her vision is, what her priorities are as as the nominee. but look, i mean you know sure. the trump campaign can try to define her all they want. they've been throwing you know, kind of some of these garbage attacks but heard that or not sticking, we also just announced that $360 million. think about that. just $368 million ad blitz on digital and broadcast media, really making sure that we are ensuring that the american people understand her and what her vision is fighting for middle-class families, lowering costs for americans while also drawing that contrast with project 2025, which trump has no matter what he tries to do, he is fingerprints are all over

that agenda it would be incredibly divisive but if it becomes part of the american system, if he becomes president, if it is enacted. so we're going to make sure that over the next few weeks when early voting starts in pennsylvania, which is in mid-september, that every single american understands what's at stake here in this election, in every single american understands that vice president harris is in this race to fight for them and to protect their value and tomorrow night as jeff alluded to, we're going to see president biden really passing towards you, just talked about that as well. we have reporting he's from our colleagues, he's still smarting is the word they were using over him being forced to abandon his run, but that he's also looking to his legacy. he's also looking to see how he can help kamala harris win the fall. how do you expect him to kind of strike that tone. and what do you think we're going to hear from him tomorrow night? >> well, i certainly don't want to get in front of president biden's message but he has made it very clear when he decided to drop out of the race and immediately endorsed vice

president harris and she made it clear that she worked harder to earn every single delhi well, i'll give vote and she dead. that was a process that she wanted to make sure that people understood that she was earning that but i think you can see president biden continued to do what he has said the whole time, which is she has been my partner. she was part of every single major piece of legislation that his administration passed, which by the way is a lot for major economic bills. putting the first black among the supreme court, created over 15.5 million jobs. and counting, we could go on and on here he's going to make it clear that she was a partner. and those accomplishments, but she is also has her own the gender that she's going because that's the interesting thing, right? >> because biden was not selling himself to a lot of voters on the economy, on immigration. >> that's where she is also still struggling as issues. and he said that he doesn't expect her to really you know, deviate from his policies, but she is going to want to have some that's one of the reasons why she gave an economic speech in raleigh, north but carolina on friday where she talked a lot about how she's going to continue to find ways to lower

costs for american families. have her economic policies are going to continue the trend that we've seen in the last year so eight or nine months of reducing inflation. but also again, making sure that we're building out the middle class, making sure that we're putting more pockets in the bank accounts of america families, and making sure that we're not fighting for corporate interests. that was something that a major part of her platform says she really talked about in her economic speech. and a lot of those policies are the same as president biden's. but i think over the next few weeks you will see her continued to show that she does share a lot of his values, but she has her own plan to going forward but i think she's got she's excited about all the work that they did together. they've been true partners. and i think you will see president biden tomorrow night really talked about that strong partnership, that strong bond did they have? ever since he chose her to be his running mate in 2020, and that she's been consistent part of all this success of this administration has had, i think back to 2020 and we were in parking lot. so this this is different. this a little bit different, but you haven't had

an in-person convention in eight years is really exciting. >> you can feel the energy all over chicago is really exciting. her son to roll call right now, coming together, which we just announced today. you may remember jason 2020, there was a virtual roll call where we had people in every state, you know, having no mood island and the lobs their obs a lobster in rhode island. now, we're going to do this in person, dj cassidy did that in 2020. he's now in person doing it just really going to be an exciting for days and we can't wait to show you all the work that we've been doing behind the scenes to make this come to light. all right. adrian. all right. thank you so much for being here. always good to see a fellow are cans our special coverage from the dnc here in chicago is just getting started this afternoon. still ahead. vice president harris and her campaign making some big strides among crucial vote voting groups. we're going to dig into those numbers. >> the week ahead also with ed more with our political analysts here in chicago,

plus plus panel of cnn political commentator, democratic strategist maria cardona. more of our special assistant to president george w bush, scott jennings former communications director for the dnc and senior advisor for the hillary corey clinton, 2016 campaign. karen finney. and former trump campaign adviser david urban. i mean, look, we have a bunch of formers so much and former long resumes there kara, let's let's start it off with you. tomorrow. first night. this is going to be full. >> yeah. >> the sitting president, joe biden, who everyone got until about a month ago, was going to be accepting this nomination is going to come here and speak on the first night and effectively pass the torch down. how important is it to get that tone right for setting? so up for the rest of the week and for kamala harris, it's going it's very important, but it's an important moment in our party because joe biden did say he was going to be a bridge. and so that's what tomorrow is going to be. we're also going to hear from former secretary of state hillary clinton and i think there's a real love and

recognition in our party that you wouldn't have a kamala harris without hillary clinton putting all those cracks into that glass ceiling and with joe biden, i think i heard jeff say this earlier. there's so much love in adoration for joe biden, for the courage that he has shown for the work. i know my republican colleagues are going to criticize the record, but we like to talk about, i don't know, 16 million jobs getting us out of covid. and frankly, just the excitement of being able to be here in person. we talked about this even at the republican convention because four years ago we couldn't be together so it's going to be a very exciting night. i actually also think it means we have, we start out with a big night and it's going to get even bigger as the week goes out. >> yeah. and maria, i was asking adrianne elrod, who's with the campaign about this, but deep kind of nestled into that cbs news poll is an interesting statistic that 36% of americans don't know what kamala harris stands for. only 18 percent for donald trump. so he's pretty well-defined,

right? love him, hate him wherever you come down on him american student kinda know how they feel about right? this is an opportunity still for both sides. yeah. >> it absolutely is. and i think what you're seeing from the kamala harris side is that it is an opportunity to build on what we have seen thus far is more than just a moment, but it's a movement just like i talked to so many of the groups that we work with it or going door-to-door that when joe biden was in, they were like, yes, we're going to vote, but it wasn't the excitement and the energy and the mobilization that exists with somebody like kamala harris what we're hearing is that she represents not just the now, but the future. she represents potential. she represents frankly, the american dream as an immigrant on this panel i'm so excited and proud that kamala harris is a first-generation american daughter of immigrants. >> and that is the kind of message that she can really speak to. >> the totality of communities

that make up this great country. and i think in contrast with donald trump, who focuses on darkness and fear and division talking down the american economy, talking down the country itself i think that's going to be a contrast that's going to work in her favor. >> scott, i just want to zoom out. we have the new abc ipsos poll. it shows for the first time harris leading his national poll. so just take that for what you will, but outside the margin of error, 49 to trump's 45 i talked to you many times. you've said sugar-high honeymoon. is it still that or are we starting to see a real shift in this race who thinks, well, the battleground tracker from cbs today had them tied in the battleground states it's look, it's all real race. i mean, it's a real race. either of them could win. it's a different race than it was when we all left milwaukee there's no question about that. >> i do think you started to see when you mentioned that nobody really knows what kamala harris stands for. we started to learn about that on friday i was am i am i not allowed to comment on the no, no. i'm

going to read with data. i'm agreeing with you. people don't know. people don't know because is she the liberal u.s. senator issued a person who ran for president on the most far-left platform in even as far left as bernie sanders, is she the vice president who tried to handle some issues with the border issue? the person now who sends out unidentified spokespeople to walk back all of her previous positions. what we started to learn friday is that she's the person who wants to institute all kinds of interesting government price controls and massive upheaval and are free market economy. so people don't know what they're going to have to learn. and the challenge for trump. and that's why the polling is moving is that he's got to define her before she defined herself is something that she obviously has, which is a radical democrat. he can beat radical well democrat, generic democrat is close, radical democrat. he's in the game and so david's digging into that also, in that same poll independence of now swung from from plus four for trump in july 2, plus 11 for harris. >> now i looked at women to

really swinging hard harris his way. if you're the trump campaign and i know you talked to them a lot about jim yesterday. what do you do about that it's okay to the president yesterday, i spent a good deal of time with him. what do you say about that i think scott rates of good point, right kamala harris, the vice president, is currently undefined tomorrow night, you heard karen say, but joe biden is going to be in this room, right? >> the guy who was supposed to be here thursday night? now been moved to monday night because he got fired. he wasn't doing a good enough job to get fired by everyone who's gonna come here and show you the greatest thing in the world, but you aren't great enough because we're fired, you so she's got to kind of divorce herself the current vice president has to divorce ourselves from the current administration, which she's a part of in that in that poll you talked about that cbs poll the three key things that that if people in america care about poll after poll, the economy, inflation in the border, trump leads as you wanna get these, right, i don't wanna get him wrong trump is ahead, set p people trust trump 71% on

immigration to secure the border on inflation, 61% of americans trust trump over biden exhibit harris. and on the economy, 56%, those are close numbers. those are the three most important things of voters i told, the former president, he needs to keep talking about those things. he's a continue to drive those messages home. you're going to see events these coming weeks that are going to focus on jobs border crime, small events, and this is going to be a close race. nobody expected to be a blowout. is not gonna be a blow, but it's going to be 50,000 votes there to 25,000 votes. which erie county, pennsylvania, right? lucerne in lackawanna county in north hampton county, bucks county. how those counties go? yeah, they decide the future of the united states so anybody thought it could be a blowout on the trump side or the, or the democratic side, whether it's biden-harris, are harris waltz is sadly mistaken. they need to tune in watch through election night because it could be that close. >> yeah. i mean, i think everybody can agree this is this is a tight race. >> hang tight. we have more to talk about. we're going to squeeze in a quick break. we'll be right back cnn is live from

sooner she laughs the election's over. i'm a better look in person then kamala, it was a coup of a president. >> this was a coup and they stole the presidency of the united states for a man okay, david were just making the point, it's winter break. >> you said you talked to the president, talked to him yesterday here listen to me okay. i'm not obviously you've, just laid out all of those issues. were he leads on that he could be an effective messenger on why is he going that route, greet there, the crowd there loves this stuff right? i mean in wilkes-barre yesterday were about 10,000 people was a big crowd and they love it a big, vigorous, big applause rounds. >> but i remind the president that, you know, those are the folks that are voting from already. and the more that he drives home, the message on the border, the economy, crime it keeps a tight i think we do better. i think he's better. it received i think it's a tighter message for the media and on and on. i think it coming days, you're going to

see events that focus more laser-like, going to go to manufacturing facilities. we can talk about the economy a little bit more tight, not big rallies where he can kind of go on for an hour and-a-half. yeah. so look, i think that's the formula. got them here in 16. he feels like i got it ever wants to go with it again? for certain fears. i don't think this is effective. is other messaging. i told him so i'm going to keep telling him. so yeah. >> karen, what are we going to cyprus? >> they put him in front of a whole bunch of groceries and he couldn't stay on it. so i'm not that much you know what david you're now cares one of the things we saw today and reported, we're seeing that far-right supporters like nick fuentes are i'm trying to pressure the president and his aides saying that he's not going far enough, they want him to go darker, harsher to what maria was talking about so it'll be interesting to see, does he listen to david or does he listen to some of these far-right extremists a big key is that he's so dependent on. and the last thing i'll just say, look we want to talk about the economy because trump left this country a mess in the middle of a pandemic cumulative

inflation was 8%. inflation is now cooling 16 million jobs. kamala harris has a plan for the future and she's very focused on lowering costs so let's have that conversation and scott specifically, women are driving a lot of momentum for kamala harris and i'm listening to some of what trump was saying just in that particular mash-up, obviously, as david noted, he did talk about other things, but he tends to go for these very personal attacks on kamala harris. how does that help you? >> with female voters who you're going to need to win. what doesn't help help her hurt me. i work here, so i'm not i'm not on any ballots that i know of. i look to your knowledge, he's got he's got it half, right? >> that is the laugh of someone who will raise your taxes. that's the life of someone who's going to make inflation worse. that's the last step of someone who's if they institute their economic plan why did you go back or let's just say what she'll do i don't know. >> i'm just asking. >> i mean, do you want me and david to go back to the thing over here and he's not a very big space where we can have

write all of it out and what facts it over does it for this is this is this is who donald trump is. it's who he was in 2016 and 2020. he wanted one, he lost one. right now. he is in a fight. he's in a fight of his life. independents are going to decide they were with him. now she's in the race. there are wavering in the way to get them back is very clear. hey, if you're mad about inflation, maybe we don't put the people back in charge who caused it. that's the message printed. frame. it, hang it in the loop. that's all you got to do. he did have that's all you got to have a good 40. so this aqaba harris said she's ready on day one or day one was three-and-a-half years ago, and he's just keep talking about that, right? that's that was his message in front of the groceries at bedminster. he needs to stick to that message. >> and let's talk about what's happened all the day since that's the problem. david and scott are right. but he's not going to listen to them. he's not going to listen to you, david, wait a minute very influential, not going happened time and time again and here's the other thing ever since kamala harris became the democratic nominee, she

represents let's be real here. >> everything that donald trump is scared of a strong woman, a strong black woman a strong woman who also is of asian descent, daughter of immigrants, completely, totally accomplish a former process so cuter dag, senator, vice president, he doesn't know how to embrace that and actually run a disciplined campaign against her. so what does he do? he picks out her laugh. he picks out her looks. he picks out everything that he thinks a scary to his base but right now, he needs to play addition and he doesn't know math. and so i think at the end of the day, it's not going to work for him and he's going to alienate independence, alienate women, and all of those issues while they are top of the issues we know from all the special elections and in 2022, there are other issues that underlie, like the issue of reproductive rights and democracy that are going to be front and center is talking about the time magazine cover, by the way. yes. which were

kamala harris is a nice, beautiful lorenz sketch and donald job as like scowling facetime magazine. >> he's been, why can't i can't they put me in a nice picture like that. hold on. i want new clip that we have from vice president harris where she appears to be sharpening her attacks against donald trump. let's listen to it this campaign is about a recognition that frankly over the last several years there has been this kind of perversion that has taken place. >> i think which is to suggest, which is to suggest that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down when what we know is the real and true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. anybody was about beating down other people in a coward? >> yeah. well, look, i mean, donald trump has said, i mean, i love these guys talking about the economy when donald trump is actually said what he wants to do in government is used, the levers of government to go

after, to exact retribution, to go after his enemies. and she's actually talking about how do you lift people up? how do you lower the cost of groceries? how do you help get children out of poverty? how do you help make housing more affordable? and the other thing that we have that i think is driving republicans insane is just the joy and we've been listening, that's amazing music. people are happy people are excited the phenomenal team here at the dnc, i want to give a shout out to mignon more, a black woman whose brilliance brought this convention together and is bringing in the city of chicago into this moment, into this joy, into this assure the joy will continue until morale improves. >> but one pennsylvania, the reason that kamala harris is not the city of pittsburgh, and i think she'll continue. she landed at allegheny the pittsburgh airport, allegheny county, but then came over to my county of beaver county is because the city of pittsburgh is embroiled in a completely anti-semitic fight right now. now, where the city council is going to introduce there, he could have a vote, a referendum on it, on a bds movement there.

so boycott divest sanction israel to preclude anybody that seated pittsburgh from doing business with israel to progressive wing of the democratic party is at odds with the other democrats huge messy fight. and the harris campaign wants nothing of it. they're going to stay away just a little preview what we might see on the streets out here and why josh shapiro is not on this ticket. >> we are going to talk more about potential that that is not what i want 101 of the mother come on to say that care why is it not true? dare not true. >> it's not true or not i don't want sent one of the reasons he had know, no no, no. >> hold on. >> i'm not playing this. >> kamala harris anti-semetic about say she is there's a distinct wing in your party, does not like the current policy towards israel that is anti-zionists and anti-symmetric. it is true that is not why josh shapiro is not it's not part of the reason area and allostatic part of the reason he got to put a button he put a i think though, sorry okay. up next a small town in jamaica as being thrust into

more straight ahead live from the democratic national convention in chicago. we are also following new developments tonight from the middle east. hamas is accusing the israeli prime minister of undermining talks around a ceasefire and hostage since deal with new conditions cnn's jim sciutto is joining us now live from tel aviv. and jim, we've been hearing expressions of optimism around this latest round of negotiations through the weekend, this latest exchange though perhaps tempering those. what are you learning no question, jessica, israeli officials expressed cautious optimism. >> president biden, a few days ago said, the sides were closer to agreement than they ever have been before. state department officials call this an end. flexion point in these negotiations as the u.s. secretary of state arrived here in israel, justice evening, but also this evening, hamas released a statement that seems to throw so some cold water on that optimism. it assigning

blame to israel, to netanyahu specifically it says for putting up new obstacles to the talks. this is how hamas put it in a statement this evening, he said after listening to the mediators about the recent round of talks in doha, it became clear to us once again that netanyahu continues to place obstacles to reaching an agreement, sets new conditions and demands in order to thwart the efforts of the mediators and prolong the war. there out of issues brewing here, jessica, including who will control the border between gaza and egypt, also proposals from the israeli side to have some sort of security quarter in the central part of gaza that hamas says will effectively split gaza in half. blinken will go from here to cairo later this week to continue to meet with negotiators, but the real concern here, jessica, is that that optimism we're hearing from the u.s. and israeli sides is not shared by the hamas side. and when you start to get to the stage of these negotiations where folks are assigning blame that

negotiators are starting the point fingers about who might be responsible if these talks fall apart that's a worrisome stage. jessica, that said, hope is not gone, but it's a change in rhetoric and it's certainly a change in perception from the hamas side of these talks. >> and so jim, as we look ahead to the next day, next few days, do you anticipate what do you anticipate unfolding? i know you've been there in tel aviv also what's the mood been like? >> yeah so here in tel aviv, i will say that the concerns about an immediate, immediate expansion of this war, perhaps an attack from from the north by hezbollah or attack from iran, that the immediate fears of that have dissipated somewhat. >> for now, in part because all sides to be invested for now in these negotiations that were in qatar last week will now move to cairo this week. but if the talks failed to make progress again, you do run into a more

dangerous, testy period here, right where if folks are pointing fingers, the talks break apart concerns, then rise again against about perhaps hezbollah or iran exacting what they say is revenge, that they want to carry out against israel for that attack against the hamas leader in tehran. a number of weeks ago. >> for now, status quo the concern is though, and there'll be is that the sides are entering this with far different expectations of how close they are to an agreement. >> we'll be watching very closely for how this proceeds later in this week. >> all right, jim sciutto in tel aviv for us. thank you so much. we appreciate it ahead. >> we're going to take you inside the harris campaign and the whirlwind to effort to crystallize her strategy, her messaging. as our special coverage from the dnc continue, you're in the cnn newsroom cnn, is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their
