this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. it's just after midnight here on the east coast, but already tuesday afternoon in south korea. president trump is there, air force one landed at oh san air base about 90 minutes ago. he then boarded a helicopter, took a quick trip to camp humphreys where he had lunch with korean troops. i want to bring in now cnn's senior white house correspondent jim acosta, who is in seoul and will ripley, in pyongyang, the only american network correspondent in north korea's capital. jim, you first. president trump arrived in south korea just a short time ago as tensions on the peninsula are high. what's the latest? >> well, right now, don, as you mentioned, he's ats camp humphreys. he's going to be receiving an

operational briefing. they will be briefing the president on the situation in north korea. obviously that has been escalating in terms of these tensions between the u.s., president trump and north korean dictator kim jong-un. in that meeting right now in that operational briefing as it's called right now the chief of staff john kelly, national security adviser h.r. mcmaster, don, we do expect some brief remarks. we'll be waiting to hear what the president says. so far he hasn't said much. he's talking now and i think we can probably listen in for just a few moments, don. >> yeah. we're going to listen to the president. i'm sorry. >> the next nine days. as you know, we just got back from japan where we had a very successful two days. today will be pretty busy and tomorrow also. and then we head to china, and i look forward to that. there's great cooperation.

we have a terrific meeting scheduled on trade-in a little while with president moon and his representatives. and we will -- hopefully that will start working out so that we create lots of jobs in the united states, which is one of the reasons, one of the very important reasons i'm here. in addition to that, we will be meeting with the various generals about the situation in north korea. and i think we have lots of good answers and hopefully it will all work out. it has to work out. so i want to thank you all for being here. we appreciate it. thank you very much. we're going to see you in a little while. and i think about 4:30 we're going to separately meet with

you. i hope you're as impressed as i am. this is a very impressive group of people. these are very impressive people. so general, thank you very much. thank you. thank you very much. >> so just holding on a little bit to see if the president would answer any of the reporters' questions. he is at camp humphreys where he is meeting with both japanese and american troops there on the ground. u.s. and korean troops, pardon me, on the ground there. just about 90 minutes ago.se - jim acosta, you were speaking before the president -- i so rudely interrupted you, but president trump is meeting with russian -- >> no, that's okay.

>> president vladimir putin later this week. the president wants his help with north korea, right? >> that's right. and you heard the president there just a few moments ago saying that he believes things are going to work out with the situation in north korea. they always work out. don, that is not how people here in south korea view the situation. you know, we've been talking to people on the ground here in south korea. they have been living with this threat posed by north korea for some time now, but what has really sort of thrown a question mark into all of this, an uncertainty into all of this is president trump's really tough talk, this bellicose, confrontational brink man ship rhetoric with north korea. and he mentioned this press conference that's going to be coming up in a couple of hours, dop. i think the very big question hanging over this president's trip right now is whether he engages in this kind of rhetoric that he's been engaging in so far, like referring to kim jong-un as rocket man and talking about the u.s. having

the ability to totally destroy north korea. that will be something to watch because the south korean president, president moon, don, is not a huge fan of that kind of rhetoric. he wants to lower the temperature here in south korea, not raise it. but you mentioned vladimir putin. that's right. that is going to be the other fascinating thing to watch in a couple of days, don, when the president goes to vietnam. the president said a couple of days ago that he expects to sit down with vladimir putin, of course, we're all going to be talking this in the context of the russia investigation, but the president trying to shift of the narrative a little bit, saying he wants to talk with putin about this issue of north korea to see what kind of leverage the russians can provide because so far, don, and this gets into the president's next stop in china, china's president xi jinping has not been able to in the view of this administration been able to really change kim jong-un's behavior. and so that is going to be fascinating to watch. we see president trump and vladimir putin sitting down together or at least standing

together talking to one another at this apex summit coming up in vietnam. don, we're coming up on one year since the election of president trump, and hanging over the president ever since that night, and you and i remember it well in mid-town manhattan, one year ago this russia investigation has just been dragging on for this president, hanging over everything that goes on with his administration. and finally we'll see the president and vladimir putin face-to-face for a couple of days. he says they want to talk about north korea but there's so much more we'll be reading into with body language and the statements made by those leaders. >> will, you're going to be reporting from north korea for the duration of president trump's trip to asia. how is north korea reacting to this? >> well, you notice, don, the president's measured tone just now with his remarks about north korea and he was somewhat measured when he was speaking in japan over the past couple of

days, but honestly, it may be too late from the north korean perspective. more importantly for the north koreans, the fact that in the coming days three u.s. aircraft carriers will be engaging in yet another round of joint naval exercises. and those are carrier strike groups. so this is a massive show of u.s. military force happening in the pacific and the north koreans are watching this and they have said they don't like they can talk with the trump administration. diplomacy has completely broken down and they've been saying for weeks now that they need to deliver a clear message to president trump that they have afternoon intercontinental ballistic missile intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach the u.s. they've threatened a long-range missile launch. at research facilities the watchdog group 38 north reported activity at the nuclear test

site. could this be when the time when the north korea decides to send that strong message when president trump is here in the region and then what will his message be. one misstep, miscalculation will trigger a series of events and take this part of the world and really the whole world down a very dangerous world. >> how is north korean media covering president trump's visit? >> it's interesting, because they are covering it. there was a new article just out today, you know, warning president trump and the united states not to underestimate the abilities, the nuclear arsenal of north korea. they say doing that would be a big mistake. and yet you see the pictures in the news lately much north korea's leader kim jong-un, the big headline over the weekend, he was inspecting a cosmetics factory. you can read into this that perhaps because it's been more than seven weeks since north korea has conducted a live fire military exercise they may be trying to project to the north korean people that they haven't

forgotten about the economy. telling people to brace for the impact of more sanctions. they blame the united states for the sanctions, not the behavior of the leadership in this country. and this could be perhaps trying to let north koreans know they're trying to develop their economy. at the same time preparing them for this new round of testing that we know is going to happen eventually because north korea says they need to round off a nuclear program and that means another test and missile launches. >> will ripley, thank you gentlemen. i appreciate it. breaking news tonight in the russia investigation to tell you about. i want to bring in now senior congressional correspondent manu raju. >> hey, don, a lengthy transcript released tonight by the house intelligence committee giving new details about a closed door testimony that happened last week with the former trump foreign policy adviser carter page in which he went into detail about his knowledge about russia, but specifically about a july 2016 trip that is under scrutiny on capitol hill. a trip that he took to moscow.

he long contended was a private trip. nothing to do with the campaign. according to his testimony released tonight he does acknowledge having an interviews with a russian deputy prime minister under vladimir putin. now, he also sent e-mails to the campaign about the trip, saying that he'd be willing to give them some valuable insights about the trip from people who are connected to the raurp government and senior legislators in russia. now, he down played that e-mail that was revealed in this transcript, saying that some of these exchanges were pleasant riz and some of these things that were picked up were heard in a conference that he attended. but democrats in particular belief that he may have contradicted himself in some key areas of this testimony. now, what was also interesting is the level of interaction that he had with senior members of

the trump administration about this trump, including hope hicks, new communications director, corey lewandowski, as well as he sent an e-mail suggesting that then candidate trump could go to russia and deliver a speech in his place rather than carter page himself. now, page also met with a senior energy executive at the time of that july 2016 trip, even though he has long rejected a central assertion on the so-called dossier of trump russia allegations that included this meeting with an energy official. turns up he did meet with an energy official while he was there with ruft russian giants. the question is how does this fit into the broader piece of russia collusion potentially with the trump campaign. he strenuously pushed back against there was no collusion. he also met with robert mueller recently, the special counsel, as part of his investigation. don. >> thank you very much.

the white house may want to pay attention to cnn's new poll about the russia investigation. chief national correspondent john king has the numbers for us. john. >> well, don, we all know the president says russia is a ruse, a hoax. the american people flatly disagree with the president. 64% of the american people in our new cnn polling say the russia investigations are a serious matter. we polled him, don, we know he'd be in this camp. 64% of americans say this is a serious matter. now, there's a partisan break down on this. 91% of democrats say these investigations are quite a serious matter. only 28% of republicans say that. 6% of democrats say it's an effort to discredit the president, a much higher number. nearly seven to ten republicans look at these investigation and say it's an effort to discredit the republican process. now, of course, the american

people processed two former campaign officials indicted, a third cut a plea deal. well, four in ten americans think it's proof between widespread coordination between trump campaign officials and russia officials. maybe not widespread coordination but limited coordination. you add those up, that's pretty big numbers of people who believe there's some coordination between the campaign and the russian government. again, let's look at this and on this one the president does not get the benefit from republicans he does on many other questions. was there widespread coordination, more than six in ten democrats say yes, but ten% of republicans think there was widespread coordination. this is even more troubling for the president. 64% say there was limited coordination. so add that up, three out of four republicans think the republican candidate for president at least had limited coordination, his campaign did with russians.

that is not a good number for the president. and one of the defining questions, did the candidate know about these contacts? again, at least nine campaign officials are now known to have been in some contact with the russians during the campaign. six in ten americans say yes, they believe the candidate did know about these contacts. here when you break it down by party people go back into their corners. so bottom line, the american people think these investigations are serious. they want them to continue. they have belief that there was at least some coordination. and don, where we started at the beginning, there's no doubt all these russian investigations contributing to the president's now record low approval rating in our cnn poll. >> john king, thank you very much. coming up, new developments in the russia investigation. a former top aide to donald trump set to be entered viewed by investigators and the russian lawyer who met with donald trump

make more of what's yours. there are new developments tonight in the russia investigation. let's discuss now. hello to both of you.

thanks for coming on. thanks for being up with us late. dave, the president may be on a trip to asia for two weeks, however his troubles back here at home haven't let up. >> the latest thing is this carter page e-mail. for months carter page has been on cnn and other networks saying i had no contacts with russian officials. now these e-mails have come out showing he did have this it looks like a much more extensive meeting with the russian deputy prime minister. it's got to frustrate trump. and so many of these problems start from this administration not disclosing meetings from the beginning. up, all the way back with jared kushner's meeting with the russian banker during the transition. don junior's meeting in june with this russian lawyer. it's still sort of a self-inflicted wound. >> why do they keep lying about their meetings or omitting? >> omitting, i should say. i think the president sets the tone and it's sort of a very

aggressive, flat out denial and, you know, the counter punch politically works with his base, but it's not working as this story just continues to grow. >> can you answer that question for us, april? why do they keep omitting and what's diagnose on here? >> knowingly to omit, knowingly to omit could for some mean lie. and if it is found to be pervasive, you know, you have to really wonder. i mean, you know, we are hearing so many different things about so many different people, you know. we heard about secretary ross. the question is did he tell the truth to -- in his senate confirmation hearings. now we're hearing about this. it's a pattern. and when it's a pattern, you wonder if this is pervasive and this is something that is just known practice within this camp. it does not bode well for this administration and for this

president, who really at the very beginning and up till recently said that there was no collusion and you won't find anything. basically this is all made up by the democrats. this is something here. and when you look for something, you're going to find something. it seems people are finding it. mueller is finding something. so the question is how long and who will be involved and where will the tentacles point to in all of this. >> yeah. the president's lopping time adviser who served as director of oval operations keith shirley will be interviewed tomorrow about a 2013 trip that trump took to moscow. this trip is the center of the allegations included in the dossier about the president. shirley left the white house in september. what was the answer given at the time here, david. >> again, they sort of played down the trip, that this was not of significance. the problem is there's so many officials having contacts with the russians. there's the papadopoulos thing.

there's the carter page thing. and the important thing, perjury, it puts tremendous pressure on shirley to speak the truth in this interview. they're scripting it well. and so step by step, you know, there can be these public staples. we can call them omissions, lies, lying to an fbi agent is a crime and that's already been shown. >> bloomberg did an interview with veselnitskaya and she said that donald trump suggested a review of a sanctions law. the explanation of the meeting has changed several times, but she went a bit further in this interview. what do you think of this new information? >> it's another, you know, more proof of not being truthful about these meetings. >> and willingness to -- >> yes.

it's what april said. there's a pattern here. >> if her account is true. >> it's effort, you know, this incredibly combative and this willingness to sort of twist the truth and hide things, just a style of politics that i think will come back to haunt them or there really is collusion here, because it's incredible how week after week there's some new information coming out about communication and offer some sort of kwid pro quo happening that they keep denying but the rel agsz keep happening. >> april, let's talk about the president's approval rating. just 36% say that they approve the way trump is handling his job as president. how does the white house explain those low poll numbers which have been consistent throughout his presidency? >> well, they are very reactionary and deflect active. they're blaming it on the russia investigation. they're plamg it on democrats. and it's interesting, democrats who are trying to come up with some wins, particularly in the glub that to her yael races in

new jersey and virginia, they're blaming everything on the reactionary president for all the problems that we're having. but this president is trying to find his way out. he's doubling down with his base. and when it comes time to talk to his base, to gavel an eyes them, he hits with topics that really resonate with them. the confederacy, issues of race, the nfl with taking a nooe or being it charlottesville. this president knows what strikes the cord of the quote unquote forgotten man, the uneducated or those who have not attended college, white male who feels that they're on the fringe and not touched by any form of government. and this had has reached out to them. so his numbers are low, but he keeps doubling down. but we've not seen crypt night yet for this president to make him go out for the count. he continues to rebound some kind of way.

but the question is how often can he do this in the midst of this russia investigation and just the divisions that's going on in this country. >> thank you, april, david. i appreciate it. when we come back w we're live in south korea where president trump is meeting with government and military officials. also ahead, two of the deadliest mass shootings in modern american history happening less that two months apart. again, we ask will it lead to changes in politics or with gun safety? ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,... ...isn't it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it's time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months,...

trump is meeting with governm t we're standing by for president trump's arrival at the blue house, the official residence of the south korean president. but first, president trump calls the deadly shooting in texas a mental health problem, not a gun situation. is he right about that? let's discuss. joining me now keith boy kin, alice stewart and margaret hoover. hello to both of you, good evening, depending on where you're watching. >> good evening, good night. >> 26 people are dead. and when the news started to come over this weekend, it's just unbelievable. here we go again. 20 more are wounded. it was modern america's

deadliest shooting attack, keith, since last month. president trump has had to deal with these issues. he's in japan now. he was asked about this attack in japan this morning and here is what he had to say. >> i think that mental health is your problem here. this was a very -- based on preliminary reports, very deranged individual. a lot of problems over a long period of time. we have a lot of mental hell problems in our country, autos do other countries of the but this isn't a guns situation. i mean, we could go into it, but it's a little bit soon to go into it. but fortunately, somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction, otherwise it would have been as bad as it was. it would have been much worse. but this is a mental health problem at the highest level. >> look, i certainly don't think anyone would deny that this guy had some issues, right, some mental health issues. but do you think that this is the major issue with this situation, with these

situations? >> no, because even if he did have mental health issues he he still had a gun that killed 26 people including 12 children. the idea that the president is saying it's too soon to talk about this as a gun issue and then he goes into his counter gun issue is contradictory. this is the same script we go through every time there's a mass shooting. 58 people were shot in las vegas and the same thing we heard over and over again, it's too soon to talk about politics, guns. yet when we had an attack here in new york city just one week ago he was immediately calling for a change in policy, ending the diversity visa program. we can't start treating these things differently. if it's a muslim attacker or a white man who is attacking, it doesn't milwaukee a difference. the american people are still being attacked. >> do you think it's domestic terrorism. >> yes, it's domestic terrorism.

>> go ahead, allison. >> as you indicated, this shooter had a history of problems, animal abuse, domestic abuse, even his shep child, fractured his skull. even served time in the military in the brink. he was discharged from the military. he had served time for domestic abuse. that should have been reported by the air force to the national crime information center. that should have been a red flag. he never would have been able to purchase the guns that he bought. if that loophole had not been dropped. it's not a problem with the law. this is a problem with the system here, the failure in the system is what got the guns in his hands in the first place. and yes, mental health is an issue. he did have memts health issues. he does have problems with regard to his anger at society, at his family and wanting to act out on that. so i think that is a key issue here. he shouldn't have had those guns, but it's not because the

laws weren't in place. it's because of a failure in the system. >> is this a common dough no, ma'am nart. >> yeah, but do you want to get rid of the second amendment? literally there is no silver bullet to this problem, don, unless you get rid of the second amendment. i'm not -- >> i know, but everyone -- that seems extreme to me. whenever we have a discussion about people will say do you want to get rid of the -- >> here is what i'm saying. what i'm saying is this is, as we all know, because we have seen way too many of these incidences over the course of the last decade and more, and i am not going to sit here and use the argument that if you -- we should be australia. i'm also not going to do the inverse. what i do want to just encourage us to do is have a sophisticated, complicated -- conversation that can tolerate the nuance and the difficulty of this policy question, because it's not just about taking guns away from people. it's not just about mental health. it's not just about any one of these things. it is -- there is not a silver

bullet for this challenge. okay? sloo here is the thing. >> that is reasonable in a country that does have a second amendment. >> i think we agree at some level -- i don't understand because listen, i've been here, what, 12 years at cnn and then before that at other networks. i've been doing this for a long time. it's always a circular argument. >> yes. >> the argument is always if you want to have the discussion that we're having, then automatically a certain group goes to you want to get rid of the second amendment. >> that's what you're doing with mental health. >> i think people want to sit down and discuss what's going on with our gun laws, what's happening with our mental health. >> let's talk about mental health in a real way. >> people will be allowed to have -- we can discuss those things without being anti-second amendment. >> yes. i totally agree. >> but margaret you just said you wanted to have a conversation that's sophisticated and nuanced and your first response to don's

question was -- >> that was to make a point, though. >> your first response was do you want to get rid of the second amendment. >> and then i proceed to have a conversation. so let's have the more complicated conversation. >> in order to have a complicated conversation we have to allow each other to speak too. and if you're going to have a conversation let's talk about how do we proceed forward. regardless of whether you are pro gun or anti-gun, we have a second amendment that's not been changed yet. what can we do together -- >> rhetorical point. i mean, we've sat here on this panel a lot of tiles. you know that's not where i go. that was the beginning of that conversation. >> okay. >> hold on. hold on. hold on. hold on. can we do that after the break because i want to do something that's very important here and we're going to come back and finish our discussion after the break. i just want to take a moment to remember the vils of this really horrific shooting. the gunman in sutherland

springs, texas. the youngest victim was a 17-month-old girl. the oldest was a 77-year-old. lieu lieu white was the grandmother of the shooter's wife. friends say she often volunteered. hailey krueger was a of-year-old. her mother says hailey wanted to be a nurse. richard rog rid easy along with his wife theresa, they were married 11 years. eight members of the hol comb family were killed. danny's 17-month-old daughter noaa, the holcombe's daughter-in-law crystal, who was pregnant. three of crystal's five children were also killed. emily, megan and evelyn hill. and then there's tara elise mcnullty, close family friend of the holcombes.

t-mobile family plans now come with netflix included. that's huge. that's right. t-mobile's got your netflix subscription covered... ...when you get a family plan with two or more lines. really? that's incredible. so go ahead and watch however you want. you're messing with me, right? all at no extra charge. this is awesome! another reason why t-mobile is america's best unlimited network. mic drop. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth.

if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it. these are live picture.

this is south korea where president trump is set to meet with top officials today. we're keeping an eye on that, but we're back now with keith boy kin, alice stewart and margaret hoover. we're having an interesting conversation, very animated conversation talking about the second amendment and guns. >> we're actually talking about the really complex problems behind mental health that i don't think the president got to in his commentary about mental health. but that should be part of what we discuss when we discuss these shootings and when we discuss the national policy to confront a real epidemic of people that do have mental illness. one in five individuals that are incarcerated have severe mental illness. the chances that you're going to be in jail rather than a hospital bed are ten times greater. there is not good national policy confronting the challenges that mentally ill people face. and then when you add mental

illness with the second amendment, you have real recipe for disaster. >> i just have to say, i live in a big city, and i've lived in a number of big cities before and i see people walking around. i see people talking to themselves. you know, i have some people who -- i know people who have mental illness. they don't have access to guns. they don't have guns. i mean, let's just -- that makes -- the majority of mentally ill people are not violent. they're not -- >> of course not. >> they're not in possession of a gun. >> that is true and it's important to have a nuanced conversation or not, shame people with mental illness. there's no reason to have a national registry for ssri. >> that's what -- >> mental health is a broad term. >> i don't want to stigma ties people. >> nor do i do. >> but i do say that is an issue that we should be discussing as well as the issue of guns and what happens often is we use

mental health as a pivot point to avoid the discussion of guns. let's talk about mental health issues, let's talk about other issues. let's talk about anything other than guns. the problem is we have people who have mental health issues, who are violent, a small percentage of them, and when they do engage in some sort of criminal behavior immediately we want to stag ma ties that group. let's talk about the weapons that anyone has access to to use in this country and how we can make it safe for countries -- that these weapons are not easily -- >> we can't even get anything on bump stocks after, right. >> i think that's an important thing to bring up in that the conversations after las vegas was the bump stock mechanism should not be used, it's extremely dangerous and there was a lot of publisher back. even some second amendment supporters said let's have a conversation about that. chuck grassley has said he's going to hold a hearing on that in the next week or so. so we are seeing some progress

-- >> really? >> second amendment supporters, sensible gun safety laws, they support sensible gun safety laws. i think it's 80% of gun owners support gun safety laws. >> sure, they support gun safety laws. they support gun safety overall. and certainly wise gun -- the use of guns. and look, i think it's important we look at each and every one of these tragic mass kers in a different situation. they're all caused by different reasons. the motivations are much different and the cause and effect are much different. i think we're going to move the ball down the field -- >> hold on. i'm glad you said that. because of one common denominator is what? >> it is someone who is angry, someone -- the guns -- >> they're all men, don. every single one of these people have been men. >> men with what? >> with guns. >> with a gun. >> the one common denominator is

a gun and everyone keeps saying ignore that -- >> terrorist attack in new york city last week and the guy had a paintball gun and a rental truck. he ran over some people with the rental truck. he didn't kill 26 people. he didn't kill 58 people. he could have killed a lot more if he had access to a deadly weapon like a gun. and i think that we have to really start to think, even if he had mental issues and we don't know if he did or didn't, but that's even the point. we have to think how do we keep these guns out of peoples hands who don't need them. >> we have laws on the books that we're not enforcing. this is another element. so there's multiple -- >> but there's another reason why we should be having a sensible debate instead of saying do you want to get rid of the second amendment. no. no. >> i agree. >> a common denominator is guns. new york last week was a rental car. what are we going to do, ban -- >> trump proposed a solution, which was to ban the diversity visa entries. >> it was a timely --

>> he talked about it immediately after the terrorist attack. and here, again, even today when he's over there in corkorea he' saying it's too soon to talk about guns. >> if mental illness is the main reason here for these shootings, was that a bad idea for him to do that? let's answer right after the break. we'll be back. we'll come right back. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders connect with medical teams in near real time... stay with me, mr. parker. ...saving time when it matters most. stay with me, mrs. parker. that's the power of and. the updates you made to your plan strengthened your retirement score. so, that goal you've been saving for,

. take a look at the live pictures now. we're standing by live in south korea where president trump is set to meet soon with south korea's president. meanwhile, let's talk about this. back at the ranch, at least back at home, it is election day. there are a couple key races. we have key races in virginia, new jersey, and on and on. what do you think key races tomorrow, what do you expect?

>> i think the big take away race will be virginia governor's race. northam has been up. >> he's the democrat. >> he's the democrat. but gillespie has good support. the conservatives are rallying behind. the democrats shot themselves in the foot with a bad ad. i think gillespie will pull it out. >> in new jersey, i think murphey is double digits ahead. and out in utah chafin. >> in virginia if a democrat doesn't win there, is that big trouble for the democrats? >> i don't think that's big trouble. it's a purple state. it's a complex state. the current governor is a democrat.

bob mcdonald was a republican before that. it goes back and forth. it swings. i think virginia has a chance to elect its first african-american lieutenant governor. first african-american to win statewide office since doug wilder in 1989, when he was elected governor. i think it's promising there for democrats. there's a big turnout push for people of color, a little late but still it's happening. they're running against the trump charlottesville clan. there are a lot of people concerned about charlottesville and they're coming out to vote against that. and gillespie is running these racist ads. >> we've been here a couple nights late into the midnight hour covering these races. do you think that same thing happens today? >> this is, you know, the danger of the take away from tomorrow

or potentially what could happen and what i look to is, you know, what's happening on the democratic side and what you see is happening on the democratic side in virginia is democrats are falling away from their candidate. progress i'ves have disassociated from him. >> gillespie has the momentum. >> we can rally against trump, but if there's no candidate to confront trump in four years in 2020 trump could very well have another four years. and even with polling as bad as it is, and the economy as good as it is, because donald trump's polling right now is the worst of any first-term president -- >> 36% is a new cnn poll. >> but if the economy continues okay -- >> that's a point, though. you're talking about terry

mccall liv. it's the economy. >> that's true. i think the republican gillespie has done a wise job, he hasn't brought him in to campaign for him, asked for his endorsement, and so far that's to his benefit. >> quick, i have to do go. >> trump tweeted the economy has been horrible in virginia. the unemployment rate is 3.7%. it's lower than the national average and when the republicans were in charge. >> thank you all. see you next time. that's it for us tonight. i'll see you back here tomorrow. our live coverage picks up next with ann nacorn in south korea and john vause in la. penetratig lower back pain relief. and now get aleve direct therapy with $20 off at your local rite aid. ♪ ♪
