2:00 pm
by -- in chicago by tomorrow morning. a freeze warning will remain in place in a lot of those southern states. atlanta under a freeze watch and places like charlotte under a freeze warning for monday morning. here's a workweek forecast. we do warm up quite nicely. here's d.c. close to 70 by wednesday. same story in atlanta. new york city, you'll be in the mid 60s by wednesday. fred. >> oh, my, thanks so much, jennifer. big chill indeed. the next hour of the "newsroom" begins right now. thanks and hello everyone, you are in the cnn "newsroom." i'm deborah feyerick in new york. we're two days away from a
2:01 pm
election. the republicans stand a majority to win senate seats that would give them complete control. a handful of tight races could decide it all. we have complete coverage of what you need to 0 know as you count down to election day. we're at the white house, and we're tracking the candidates in the georgia race and mark preston is managing the washington desk. i'm going to begin with you because a lot of folks inside that white house looking to see what's going on. this could be the president's sort of last trip around the campaign trail, but he hasn't really hit the campaigns that might matter most in this election. >> reporter: deb, that's right. he's in kt connecticut today. later tonight, he is heading to philadelphia. he's campaigning for governors.
2:02 pm
this is his seventh campaign rally for the entire election season. he won't be campaigning for monday and tuesday. this is very rare and it's because republicans are making what they say is his incompetence, his failed leadership, the key issue this year. >> the president has a knack for raising a lot of money and he's been giving some of that money away to other campaigns. are these campaigns basically saying, look, it actually would help us if you use the money to get out the vote, to maybe help us with ads, but perhaps the best thing is not to sort of stand next to us, not at this point anyway? >> that's right. and in our latest poll, he is polling at 45% in terms of his job approval rating. a lot of republican senate candidates are using him in his ad -- in their ads saying it's their policies that are on the ballot and we're seeing a lot of isis, ebola, and the most recent campaign ads again, they are
2:03 pm
using president obama as the wedge to drive out republican votes. >> all right. erin mcpike, thank you so much. nick is in atlanta. is voter turnout going to be key in that close senate race between republican david purdue and democrat michelle nunn. >> voter outreach is the main message. early voting in georgia ended on friday, that hasn't stopped the democrats to rally their base. that's made them competitive especially in this senate race between democrat michelle nunn and republican david purdue. it could mean the difference of who controls the senate going forward in the last two years of president obama's administration. it's a tight race so far. keen number in all of this is 50% plus 1 threshold. neither candidate has polled at that number and that could mean a run-off on january 6th.
2:04 pm
this is a race we could be talking about well into next year. >> mark, is it fair to say that voters there and thank you nick valencia. is it fair to say that voters really haven't fallen in love with republicans so much as lost confidence in democrats? >> we've spent so much time talking about washington and dissatisfaction with the u.s. senate, there's dissatisfaction at government. there's certainly dissatisfaction with president obama. but if you look at the map beyond the united states senate, we're looking at seven republican governors who could also lose on elect night. but it's really a situation for democrats at this point, deb, where you look at the map. it's not a good map for democrats. they are trying to defend seats in arkansas, north carolina, louisiana, alaska. these are states that are not traditionally democratic strongholds. these are republican strongholds and that's working much against democrats trying to hold on to the majority. >> it's always so interesting as
2:05 pm
somebody who doesn't follow politics as sort of the knitty gritty of politics to see which way the races are going to go and i watch it there is that sort of wild card of either voter turnout, whether in fact the democrats may be able to mobilize more than the republicans, you know, we've seen that happen before. so is there a wild card here where perhaps the democrats could sort of squeak it out or is it a don deal? >> there's no question, there's a wild card that democrats could potentially hold on to the senate. there's many mathematics kal scenarios that would play out. the person who would then preside over the senate is vice president joe biden in the case of a 50-50 tie. that would be quite the scene. when it really comes down to,
2:06 pm
when you talk about wild cards, perhaps it doesn't come to that. perhaps it happens in georgia where nick was talking about the race down there or in louisiana, where mary landrieu and serve other candidates are running right now down there. we might not know who controls the senate until january 6th, 2015 because of potential run-offs in both of those states, deb. >> last question. you got to look at the white house. you have to wonder what people are thinking inside, because if they lose control of the senate, and if they -- the republicans get more seats in the house, then effectively the democrats would have minority status for the first time in 1948. erin, are you sensing any fear? >> well, deb, we have been hearing all morning long from people on both sides of aisle who are really expecting republicans to take senate control. as mark said, we still don't know. president obama will not be campaigning on monday or tuesday. certainly the white house is preparing minority leader mitch
2:07 pm
mcconnell is preparing as well to become majority leader on wednesday. i would point out that the really important thing is that if republicans take control, it's president obama's nominations. he hasn't really been able to get many through in recent years as he's wanted, at least as liberal the nominations. if there's a vacancy on the supreme court and republicans control the senate, that's going to be a legacy issue for obama. as you know, he's going to be searching for a new attorney general since eric holder announced he's stepping down. if republicans control both houses of congress, there won't be a lot of action. president obama would have to sign whatever congress is able to pass. is may be something is done on immigration reform, very smaller scale but republicans may like to do that ahead of the 2016 elections to help them with latino vote that they have not done well within past cycles, deb.
2:08 pm
>> that's why races that we're covering in gax are going to be crucial. thank you to all of you. and all of you out there watching, stay with cnn for election night coverage hosted by anderson cooper and wolf blitz blitzer, that's tuesday night beginning at 5:00 p.m. eastern. what's it going to take to win these races? my next guest will gives us his fear. a health worker rushed to france who has ebola. what's next in the fight against ebola coming up. t believe i'm en and rich creamy cheese before my sister's wedding well it's only 100 calories, so you'll be ready for that dress uh-huh... you don't love the dress? i love my sister... 40 flavors. 100 calories or less.

2:12 pm
kous who is a columnist with the daily caller. there's been plenty of talk how president obama has been a drag for some candidates. how the map shapes up perfectly for republicans? is there perhaps an overlooked issue that's driving these voters? >> well, i think the overlooked issue is immigration. all the republican candidates who have been in trouble 90% of them have used immigration and scott brown in new hampshire raised a very interesting issue that's been under covered which this is this polio like virus, not ebola, it's another virus that's turn up all across the united states and the argument he makes is it comes from these migrant kids that came from central america inadvertently spreading a virus that we don't happen to be immune to. if obama is responsible for that by letting them travel across the country? it seems to be a legitimate issue. that's sort of the most under covered surprise issue and we'll see how he does in new
2:13 pm
hampshire. >> so and you are referring to the entero virus if i read you correctly. >> yes. >> it sends a rot of kids to the hospital and kids with respiratory illnesses but he is suggesting that it's immigrant children who are passing this on to kids at school? >> yes. he did in a debate and he was ridiculed for it, but in the daily caller, we have a pretty good article martialing the evidence and it's circumstantial and not conclusive but very suggestive that it coincide with the arrival of the minimum grants. multiple strains across the country, very odd. yes, that is his argument and 50 kids are paralyzed. that's ordinarily something that the media would focus on, it's a very gripping human story. >> now mitt romney said today that a republican takeover of the senate could lead to an immigration bill finally passing but based on what you just said, are the republicans in favor of
2:14 pm
some sort of holistic immigration bill or would it be something much more tailored? >> the republican elite is all in favor of immigration bill. immigration is all in the details, do you put the border security first or the legalization first and i think any immigration bill we're going to get out of the combination of the republican elite and the democrats is going to be legalization first bill. that's why i think it was pretty irresponsible of romney to make that comment. he's putting his oppose reputation before the national message that republicans want to send. even if you wanted an immigration bill, why would you say now yes we're going to have an immigration bill. that's just muddying the national message. i think he's refighting the 2012 election where he's reading his press clips. >> i want to get your call very quickly on three crucial races, iowa, who wins, democrat,
2:15 pm
republican? >> joni ernst. it shows her ahead. >> that's the republican. kansas, incumbent pat roberts or independent greg orman, who wins there? >> i think greg orman wins. you hear horrible rum hors about how robertson's polls are. there i think orman wins. >> there you got independent. arkansas, republican -- >> i think in arkansas, cotton wins. he's made immigration a big issue. i think he wins by a decisive margin. the thing with orman he might old the balance of power because he hasn't committed which way he's going to go. >> it's so fascinating to watch. thank, mickey kaus. ebola has had a big impact on this election and you had an idea of how to impose a quarantine that people might actually like. stay with us.
2:16 pm
that's next. so i can focus on what matters most. [ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica.

2:20 pm
policies spoke with our chief congressional correspondent da in a bash. >> republican scott brown is relentlessly making ebola an issue in his senate race. >> as i speak to citizens in new hampshire, there's a concern that this and other diseases will make its way into our country. >> his strategy is succeeding. isis, immigration, and now ebola. >> people look at it say you know, scott brown is fearmongering in order to win a senate seat again. >> brown is hardly alone in seizing on the ebola crisis. in dramatic too close to call senate races in coast to coast, republicans see ebola as exhibit a in a narrative they were already pushing. government incompetence with president obama at the helm. republican joni ernst in iowa.
2:21 pm
>> i think we are being very reactive as a federal government. i think our president should have taken the lead on these issue. >> her democratic opponent is a sitting house member who bends over backwards to be part of the solution. >> i went back there and i asked tough questions for the centers for disease control, national institutes of health, fda, custom and border patrol agents. >> a majority of americans, 54% believe the federal government is doing a good job in dealing with the ebola crisis, according to a cnn orc poll out this week. and a whopping 71% say they are very or somewhat confident in the government's abilities to prevent a nationwide epidemic, but republicans are still convinced that the ebola crisis feeds into a broader concern about washington. >> do you trust president obama and the washington politicians? >> georgia's david purdue
2:22 pm
closing ad in his race. >> if you are frustrated as i am and believe we can do better, i believe i deserve your trust. >> it helped independent greg orman tie up his race in kansas tie up his opponent. many voters are turned off, it's har for any candidate to break through. in south dakota, democrat rick wie land got creative, turning to song. ♪ >> dana bash, cnn reporting from battle ground states across the country. ♪ so daily caller columnist mickey kaus has a very unique day for a 21-day ebola
2:23 pm
quaranti quarantines. first of all, before we get to your solution, i want to ask you is it fair game to use the fear of ebola to try to win voters, to sway voters, especially since so many think that the government does have it under control when it comes to preventing an ep dimmic. >> i think it's fair game because it's not just a question of competency. there was a fear that the obama administration was sort of influenced by a general internationalist open borders philosophy. they didn't want to really use the border to protect america. they make sort of arguments of well, they are going to get it anyway, we might as well let them in. there's sort of a hidden ideology there and there's also a hidden policy which is we want to send our doctors over abroad and have them be able to come back, but there's a legitimate policy issue underlying it. >> so what are the things that you suggest is that perhaps it makes sense for returning health
2:24 pm
care workers to be rewarded and perhaps qawn -- quarantine them together in a camp. explain that? >> well, a camp, camp is the no the right word. i think a luxury resort. we don't want to discourage people by going abroad, by telling them when you come back, you are going to be confined for city days at home or in a tent in new jersey. we want to reward them. they are heroes. we want to make it a positive experience. why not have a luxury hotel, stock it with the finest foods, have continuing education courses, entertainment, they can do whatever they want for 21 days. they can network. it would be a positive experience and a lot better than staying at home and that way you get rid of this policy issue which is we're disincentifiesing people from going over there. we'll reward them from going over. they will have a 21 day luxury vacation. many of them would find it's a
2:25 pm
positive thing and it would eliminate that policy issue from the issue of quarantine. >> all right. well, mickey kaus, thank you so much. we'll think about that. and i'm sure of you will watch cnn's election night coverage on tuesday beginning at 5:00 eastern, join hosts anderson cooper and wolfe blitzer for all the results. an ebola survivor had a joyful reunion with her best friend. nurse nina familiar dsh f -- pham reyooun united with her dog bentley. he remained in quarantine. when his tests showed he was ebola-free, she shared the happy news. i may be negative for #ebola, but bentley is positive

2:30 pm
today announced a new case of ebl. the patient controlled the deadly virus while working for the united nations in sierra leone. that person is now being treated at a hospital near paris. dr. craig spencer, the only ebola patient still being treated here in the u.s. at a new york hospital, well, he has been upgraded to stable condition. finding for a cure for ebola could be the medical break through of our time. our senior national correspondent nick robertson got an inside look on the largest clinical trial on a vaccine for human. >> long awaited, finally here, an ebola vaccine arrives deep under ground beneath a swiss hospital. the potential cure stored way below freezing. this downy pouch containing the core of the world health organization's largest clinical trial on humans to date.
2:31 pm
upstairs, one of the 120 volunteers to test the vaccine prepares for the trial. >> i feel very safe about this. a lot of people told me there's so many risk. don't you feel like you could get sick because of the vaccine, but this is not how i feel and there are a lot of people who could benefit from it. >> first, a blood sample taken to make sure she is in good health. trial confidentiality means we can't reveal the volunteer's name, but we can show her on tv, and she can talk about the experience. checking for fever and rashes and blood tests. >> i'm not afraid of blood tests or anything like that, being a med school student. i think the hard part to me is not knowing whether i'm getting the vaccine or a placebo. . >> her blood rushed through this 1,400 bed hospital to a state of the art lab. over the next few months, thousands of volunteer samples
2:32 pm
will pass through here. tests in this phase one trial made for safety of the vaccine and dosage. >> we are measuring antibodies and asking the question does this protein that we inject elicit an immuono logical reaction. >> doctors hope to have the first results as early as december this year. their biggest surprise so far, way more volunteers than we needed. >> we told these students, the population for clinical research and also the sense of urgency but still a sense we can do something for africa. >> if these trials are successful, the w.h.o. plans to quickly scale up and test vaccines on thousands of people in sierra leone and liberia as early as january next year. if those tests are successful, they could begin a wide scale
2:33 pm
vaccination campaign as early as next april. nic robertson, cnn, luzon, switzerland. >> having a vaccine ready to go by april is an ambitious plan. is it possible? i want to bring in my guest who is a doctor who is a pub health specialist. and the chief medical officer for the homeland security department. you have worked in africa, how would a vaccine be a game changer with what's going on there? >> vaccine would help us prevent people from getting infected. right now we're trying to deal with people who have gotten the infection, trying to provide them with treatment and giving them reason to come forward for treatment. a lot of problem we've had is people being afraid to come forward. vaccine changes things because all of a sudden you can shield yourself against the infection to begin with. >> you've got a culture where
2:34 pm
ebola has claimed so many different lives. do you think that people would actually be amenable to getting a vaccine if they are told this is an ebola vaccine and knowing how they work, it means a small amount of ebola is injected as part of the vaccine. >> these vaccines deliver a small amount of protein. it's not the virus itself. you cannot get ebola from the vaccine, but i do think you bring up a good point which is the trust issue. a lot of what's been driving the epidemic in west africa as well as quite frankly a problem here is lack of trust in government officials and the science. you are going to have to convince people this is still an experimental vaccine, will they be willing to take it? >> and dr. garsa, if a vaccine were created, one of the things that's very interesting, is when ebola first came to the western countries, all of a sudden you have the acceleration of the fda and other agencies getting potential products to treat
2:35 pm
ebola out to market. are we seeing this sort of rapid development of things to cure this epidemic that's hit west africa? >> right. it's certainly taken on another degree of urgency, right, and so typically, you know, vaccines are made by private corporations and so they have a return on their investment, and so for some of those reasons, it's why these vaccines aren't developed more readily. when you are looking at them when disease isn't present. but clearly this is a very important disease. it's a public health emergency that involves the entire world, and therefore it takes on this added measure of importance and that's why you are seeing this added push to get vaccine out the door. >> and the interesting thing also is that ebola here in the united states is hit a couple of people. obviously, somebody who came from west africa, who then contaminated a couple of nurses in dallas, and then we've seen these other cases of worker coming back, but the interesting thing is that when you look at
2:36 pm
the pictures of west africa, you see these people who are outdoors. they are getting water. they are in conditions that are so drastic, but here -- and you see that little girl being treated, she's outdoors. she's not in a hospital, whereas here in the united states and other western countries they are being treated in hospitals. how do you try to balance that inequity? >> right, and so i think that's why we need the vaccine. so the challenges of treating these patients are just as you've explained. it's a logistics nightmare. the infrastructure isn't there, as we've come to learn from treating patients in the united states, it take a high degree of attention to treating these patients and that's measuring their electrolytes, making sure that they are staying hydrated and doing various other procedures that you can't do in these very poor countries. it is a big mismatch when you compare the treatment that goes on in africa kpaferred to the
2:37 pm
treatment that goes on in the united states and that may explain why the majority of patients being treated in the u.s. survive whereas a substantial number in africa do not. >> and very quickly, doctor, quarantine, voluntary or mandatory? >> i think it's somewhere in between. >> and i'm going to ask you also. voluntary, mandatory quarantine for people coming back? >> voluntary based on the cdc guidelines. >> all right. thank you both. we really appreciate both you being here today. appreciate it. >> sure. >> and in the fight against isis, the reinforcements have arrived. they are heavily armed and trying to save the syrian town but the problems run even deeper in the country torn apart by civil war. what's happening on the ground and the role that the united states plays coming up next.
2:39 pm
2:40 pm
2:41 pm
this weekend in both syria and iraq. the ground fighting, particularly on syria's border with turkey has been mostly the responsibility of kurdish military forces who have so far managed to keep the city of kobani from falling to isis. new this week, the kurdish forces got a big boost when reinforcements arrived. cnn's nick pate ton walsh is there. >> days of driving but clear about where they are headed to fight. heavy weapons, the kurdish need. one local fighter said he didn't know whether to cry or grin when he saw them arrive. you can see how complex this crossing might have been for the official hardware. they crept through a hole in the western fence friday night. now the againers have more of their own to fire back at isis
2:42 pm
whose tenacity in the east which air strikes are not shaken. for isis, the chance to hold 100 kilometer stretch of border. for the coalition to use the cameras on these hills to send a message about their fire power. kurds across part of the world stood up for kobani, the same in berlin. the kurds finding their decades long struggle thrust in the spotlight in the fight against isis. now the reinforcements are here, the fight will intensify. the outcome still certain. the stakes growing. nick peyton walsh. >> historically, turkey and kurds have had a tense relationship. this new group came from iraq and i want to bring in jamie
2:43 pm
detmer. and there's been so much attention on kobani, why do you think it took reinforcements to get there. do you think these fighters can tip the battle? >> i'm not too sure they can tip it. it took so long to get fighters there because the turks were blocking any reinforcements going across. they were also blocking any arms supplies going across. hence we had to have the air drop by the u.s. military, some of which went astray, of course. there are only 150 kurdish peshmerga fighters who have gone across. i'm not sure if it's enough to tip the balance. it's enough to boost the morale. >> as you have been covering and report, it's not just about kobani, this week was almost a critical week for the rebels that are backed by the u.s. and
2:44 pm
they didn't fare very well. tell me what's going on. >> nick himself said about kobani being a microcosm. the wider issues are very alarming. the strategy of the u.s. is to build up the syrian rebels to be a credible force not only to fight against isis, but a credible force that can compel the assad regime to the negotiating table. but there are very little signs that the force is credible. it's fragmented and demoralized. we've saw some key groups lose a very fierce battle of seven key strong hold towns to the rival jihadist group to isis and what was alarming about that defeat isn't only that u.s. weapons had just been supplied are now in the hands of the rival jihadist
2:45 pm
group, it does race the possibility of a battle field more broadly between these two jihadist groups. in other words, we're seeing the integration constantly of these more moderate and secular forces. last week i talked with cnn about aleppo with a supply line to the rebels is about to be broken by assad forces. so the time is running out on the obama strategy and it doesn't seem to be really anchored in reality in what's unfolding on the -- >> because also what you are saying, if i understand correctly, is that isis and had al qaeda group, they are now look as if they are aligning. that the divisions that once sort of kept them apart now perhaps they might form this sort other group i'm
2:46 pm
understanding, which means they get stronger. >> they get stronger and there is a dangerous of that. we've seen some battle field cooperation between these two jihadist groups and one of problems has been al nusrah has been fighting with moderates have becoming increasingly worried about what the american objectives and intentions are and have been falling out with these other groups. the other two groups have been having a series of negotiations the last two weeks. >> an interesting thing also is that syria right now has launched more air strikes than the u.s. and its coalition partners. thank you. we appreciate your snieths on that. thank you. >> thank you. >> and it's been 35 years since americans were held hostage inside an embassy in iran. coming up next, we're going to look at iran then and now. also anthony bourdani goes into

flowing lava on hawaii's big island has slowed to a crawl but it's still a threat. the leading edge, behind it, lava pushes across the countryside, burning up everything in its path. cnn's martin savage has been monitoring the lava from the ground and the skies. >> reporter: the lava front hasn't moved that much in the last 24 hours. however, there are outbreaks farther up slope, in other words, lava moving from them. those are farther away from town, they'll keep a close watch on them. kauai a long history of volcanos and lavas and that doesn't bode well for this town. in pahoa, it's another day of worry what the lava will do. >> another advisory will continue. >> reporter: if residents want a

destroyed. this is a postcard of the beach back then, gorgeous. no wonder people lived here. where i'm standing now is where the water line used to be. the lava pushed the beach a quarter of a mile away. so is pahoa now doomed of the same fate? >> it would be premature to say that right now because things can happen with the magna supply, maybe starve this. >> reporter: if the worst does happen, uncle robert offers this advice -- >> i would say be open, understanding. >> reporter: back in kalapana, there are signs of life. as new residents have begun building new homes on the old town that lies buried under 85 feet of lava. two types of mind-sets here, one is more modern, which is you've got to do whatever you can to
