>> he kicked off his remarks as you saw by recalling how some nine months ago, he was scheduled to visit pittsburgh and just hours before he left the white house, he got word that this bridge just right behind us where i'm standing had collapsed. and he said, you know, thankfully, nobody was killed but it was such a reminder that the country has crumbling bridges and highway systems and railroad systems, and he said, quote, it never should have come to this. of course, a big part of this speech was the president touting the bipartisan infrastructure law, and he said the funding from that law basically allowed other federal funds to quickly be directed to rebuilding this bridge. he said the hope is that this bridge behind us will be operational by christmas. he even joked he's going to have to make another trip back to pittsburgh so he can actually take a walk across that bridge. i have to also tell you, there's of course a ton of politics at play, even though this is sort

of an official event to tout a legislative accomplishment. sitting in the front row behind me was lieutenant governor john fetterman. he is of course going to be participating in another event separately with the president later in philadelphia. now, there have been a lot of questions about the president and how he has been spending his time leading up to the midterms and the fact that as you pointed out, victor, he hasn't been doing a lot of sort of rallies and separate events with some of the most vulnerable democrats, but we are seeing how the white house has been making sort of the best political use, they think, of the president. that is to talk about these kinds of legislative accomplishments and to really sort of set the tone for what he believes the democrats have been able to achieve, and the other important piece of this is of course raising money. they think he has been good at that, that has certainly been very helpful for the party. >> all right, mj lee, traveling with the president there in pittsburgh. thank you. just 45 days into her tenure, uk prime minister liz

truss has called it quits. today's announcement comes after truss was forced to throw out her financial plan that drew intense scrutiny and cost turmoil in the markets. >> given the situation, i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. i have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him that i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. >> truss is now uk's shortest serving leader ever. with us now is bianca nobilo and richard quest. bianca, the uk is not required to have a general election before january of 2025, so what happens now? >> well, because the uk is a parliamentary democracy, if the leader is changed, it doesn't necessitary going to the country. you can understand why the public can have frustration if

there's anger towards how a government is behaving. in this country, we elect parties and they get to change their leaders as money times as they want. in contrast to the united states, which is of course, a presidential democracy, so you're actually voting for individuals. but that's what makes this process quite unpredictable. now, we understand that the leadership process and finding of a new prime minister will take one week. it could even be less than that, so the entire process is going to be truncated. and we're not entirely sure who will emerge as the candidate to come forward. they're looking for a unity candidate, but that person simply does not exist, victor. so the conservative party tonight wringing their hands, wondering what comes next, trying to decide if they want to stand to become prime minister or who to back. it's been a chaotic week so far, and they're hoping for a bit of reflection, a bit of stillness, and finding a way to manage going forward. >> it's been a chaotic few

months. richard, explain how we got to this point, six and a half weeks and the new prime minister is out. the new coeconomic policy that created so much division. >> it was entirely self-inflicted. an unforced error. she brought it on herself. she introduced -- first of all, she wasn't that popular with her own mps. she didn't get a majority of them to begin with. only a third really wanted her. it was the party itself, it was the members that actually put her in number 10, some 300,000 who voted. and the reality is that as soon as she got in, she came up with this economic policy of growth, growth, growth. and she did it by promising to slash taxes, but she never said how she was going to fill the hole in revenues, how she was going to pay for all of this. and the markets, quite rightly, said there's a recession on the way. things are looking dreadful

economically. you have a war in ukraine, you have higher energy prices, and you're doing this? so the markets rebelled. they wouldn't buy the government's bonds. and that's where you end up. you end up with interest rates rising sharply in britain, mortgage holders terrified of when their fixed rates come to an end, and an economy that is sliding from bad to worse. in that scenario, she held on, i mean, victor, you have got to give her -- you know, they have been saying for days that she would go, so for her to go now shows how bad the situation got. >> it was just yesterday you were bringing us the sound from the now soon to be former prime minister, saying she's a fighter, not a quitter. it's not been 24 hours since she said that. let's broaden the scope now. what this means beyond the uk, president biden called her a good partner on ukraine.

what does this mean for the rest of the world? >> well, that is the wider significance, victor, the fact that the uk has played an influential role in countering putin's invasion of ukraine, obviously, the united states is the uk's most important ally in trans-atlantic partner. britain has been trying to find its place in the world and chart a path for itself after brexit, and that's been a very turbulent process. so this political chaos, this uncertainty and instability, and it's been gathering pace and intensity, too, is thoroughly unhelpful for all those accounts. we heard a fairly unprecedented intervention from joe biden last week when the president in a very thinly veiled way criticized the way liz truss was approaching her economic strategy, and there's also been complete horror and surprise on the continent as well about what has been happening in british politics. this is one of the oldest democracies in the world. i'm standing in front of what's been called the mother of all

parliaments. but the chaos, and after i spoke to you yesterday, victor, there were reports from inside the house of commons of lawmakers actually manhandling their colleagues into a voting lobby to make them vote with the government. that's been denied by the cabinet and by those involved, but these were senior figures of the opposition that were claiming this is what's going on, saying mps were crying, i have been speaking to lawmakers who said they have never been more depressed in their political career and they feel like their decades of work have amounted to nothing. the country is in a form of economic crisis and wants to get out of it and find a fresh start. >> a democratic crisis. richard, if we look at the months of tumult for the uk, you had the boris johnson crisis, and then his resignation. the pm race, and then liz truss comes in, the death of a queen, ascension of a king. this crisis, and now she's out. it's been a really difficult i guess more than a year for the

uk. >> to sort of paraphrase the late queen, yes, and i think what bianca says is important. there is a difference. whilst all this politics is in turmoil and chaos, britain has also been getting on with other things like the visit to washington of defense chiefs on how to coordinate on ukraine. the long and short of it, much as it pains me to say because at the end of the day it's still my home country, the uk at the moment is a laughingstock around the world. istanbul in turkey, where frankly one would hardly say government is of the best ilk in terms of transparency and democracy, but here, they say to me, what's going on in britain? we could teach you a thing or two in britain. and that i think is the sad part about all of this.

centuries of good governance, decades of leading, i won't say it goes out the window, but it's put on shaky ground, particularly at a time when the world needs strong leaders with things like the war in ukraine, the energy crisis, climate change, and all of those sort of things that britain would normally have led upon. >> and the list goes on and on. richard quest and bianca nobilo, thank you for the reporting and context. >> let's back back to the u.s. the midterms fewer than three weeks away now. early voting started today in north carolina. they're electing a new senator to replace retiring republican richard burr. democrat sherry beasley is hoping to become the state's first african american senator and is facing off against republican and trump backed congressman ted budd. officials say this election could be unlike any other. many election workers are dealing with mounting threats, some are installing panic buttons and bulletproof glass in their offices. now let's go to arizona.

already grappling with allegations of voter intimidation there. state officials are now referring a report about the issue to the department of justice. and a state attorney general's office. our kyung lah is following the story. tell us about this one. >> victor, what i can tell you is this is something we're hearing from the arizona secretary of state's office. they got a complaint that a voter says, and the voter is unidentified, here she was trying to drop off a ballot at a ballot drop box in mesa, arizona, when that voter was approached and then followed by a group while trying to vote. now, this complaint has now been referred to the department of justice, as you said, the department of justice confirms to cnn they have received that referral. while this is happening in mesa, we'rer hearing in phoenix, 75 feet away, there are people who are recording people as they drop off their ballots at a drop box. let's be clear here, there is nothing illegal about that. what is illegal is approaching

and trying to interfere. that is voter intimidation. so why is this happening? i can tell you, at least, these reports are coming in a climate that a state that never really fully grasped the 2020 election results. at least on the part of some of the republican candidates who are running for the midterms. across the top state tickets, there have been a number of candidates who have refused to accept the 2020 election results. have continued to question what's going to happen in 2022. one of them is the republican nominee for governor, kari lake. my colleague kate sullivan went to a lake event last night and asked her about this report from mesa, arizona, about the voter intimidation report, and i want you to listen to what lake said. >> haven't heard anything about it. just shows you how concerned people are, though. people are so concerned about the integrity of our election. this is another reason, this is another reason we have to restore integrity.

>> i need to be really clear here because of what she said. there is no evidence of widespread election fraud. and that continues to be the case that the 2020 election did not have in arizona and other parts of this country no reports of widespread election fraud. what we have continued to hear about is misinformation and conspiracies that has, victor, led to a lot of concern in law enforcement, in the state of arizona. they're watching maricopa county closely, and really concerned as all of this rhetoric continues in the state. victor. >> kyung lah for us there. thank you. texas up next, the secretary of state's office announced it will send what it calls inspectors to democratic leaning harris county to monitor the vote there. cnn's ed lavendera is in dallas. harris county is the most populous county in texas. what's behind this plan? >> you know, harris county has become the focal point between

republicans and democrats here. it is a massive county, a massive area where democratic votes turn out. so it has been under the microscope for republicans for some time. but this stems, victor, from an audit that was announced more than a year ago. four separate counties, harris county is one of those four, the texas secretary of state says because in a letter to the elections administrator in that county, says that because they believe they have found egregious errors with counting and tracking of voter documents and voter records, that because of that, they're going to send a team of inspectors to that county to monitor the vote as it comes in on election day. we should point out, inspectors going to counties in texas, and i have talked to a number of election administrators in the last day or so, this is not something that is terribly new, but what is concerning for democratic officials in houston is that this letter is essentially sent to them just days before early voting is set

to begin. the county judge there in harris county says that the timing of this letter is at best suspicious. and that they view it as potentially an attempt at sabotaging county efforts and sowing doubt in the election process for voters there in harris county. and as i mentioned, one of the other things that the secretary of state's office letter says is that they will also send a task force from the attorney general's office to handle complaints and concerns brought forth by either inspectors, voters, or poll watchers. and this raises another level of concern. obviously, the attorney general here in texas, a highly controversial figure. the most recent election law passed last year by the state legislature gives poll workers many more authorities and much more power at these voting locations than they have ever had before. so a great deal of concern about what this will all mean over the next several weeks of early voting and on election day. >> all right, ed lavendera

the white house has just confirmed iranian military personnel are in crimea training russians to use their drones and helping their operation to target ukraine's civilian

infrastructure. cnn's natasha bertrand joins us with details. what more can you tell us? >> this is clearly the administration confirming a pretty major escalation by the iranians. they're now on the ground in crimea helping the russians train on these iranian made drones that the russians have been purchasing from iran over the last several months. the nsc's john kirby saidty ron is now directly engaged on the ground and through the provision of weapons impacting civilians and infrastructure in ukraine that are killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure in ukraine. now, cnn had previously reported that the iranian military personnel were on the ground in crimea helping the russians kind of work out a lot of the problems they were having with operating these drones efficiently. now, what we're seeing is confirmation from the administration not only that they're providing these drones but also that they're on the ground helping with the russians. essentially in the theater of combat there. obviously, a major escalation of iran's involvement in the war and something that the administration has warned about, saying the cooperation between

russia and iran is only growing deeper. they're also concerned, victor, something we learned from john kirby, about the possibility that iran might provide surface to surface missiles to russia, another aspect here of their cooperation that could be somewhat of a game changer for the russians as the russians have been running out of their own missiles. due to western sanctions, due to just the brutality of the conflict there. so clearly the administration trying to get out ahead of this, trying to get past the iranian denials that they had been providing the russians with this kind of support. victor. >> important confirmation from the administration. natasha, thank you for the reporting. there are new developments in the two legal cases involving donald trump, well, two of them. the first involves the house investigation of the january 6th attack on the capitol. a federal judge says that evidence shows trump knew the claims of voter fraud were false when he started to spread them. and in the case of classified documents found at trump's florida home, sources are exclusively telling cnn that

trump is mulling over whether to let the fbi come back to mar-a-lago. jessica schneider, kristen holmes with us now. jessica, tell us about the federal judge calling out trump's false claims in a ruling against his ex-attorney, john eastman. >> yeah, and you know, it isn't dust the federal judge calling out the false claims. he's also saying the former president likely committed crimes in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. this judge, david carter, he made a similar allegation several months ago in march. this all does turn on john eastman's emails. and when this judge ordered eastman to turn over more material to the january 6th committee, he revealed in his opinion even more damaging details about trump and his top aides, notably that the former president was made aware that voter fraud numbers he submitted in state and federal court filings were false. and even after he was made aware, he submitted those fake numbers in court anyway. so the judge wrote it this way. he said the emails show that

president trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong, but he continues to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public. the court finds that these emails are sufficiently related and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the united states. so that's the first crime that judge carter says was likely committed. the second, he says, was felony obstruction. he said the former president filed all of these lawsuits contesting the election, not to get legit legal relief, but instead specifically with the purpose to disrupt the election process and impede the certification of joe biden as president. so victor, the judge here allowing more of this to be handed over to the january 6th committee. but now the question is, will prosecutors get this evidence, too, victor, and if they do, would it be enough for justice department officials or even the fulton county d.a.'s office to actually criminally charge former president trump or even those around him. that's the big question

lingering. >> we'll get into the legal exposure for the president later. kristen, let me come to you about this new strategy from the trump team when it comes to the missing documents investigation. maybe a second search of mar-a-lago. >> that's right, we're told by a number of sources that trump's legal team is trying to turn down the heat with the department of justice, and weighing their options on how to do that. they're looking at how to, of course, best protect donald trump from any legal jeopardy but also to alleviate some pressure on the former president who has a growing number of legal battles that he is facing. and one of the ways they're looking at doing this was the idea of potentially letting federal investigators back to the mar-a-lago property. we have to remember that the department of justice in both private conversations and in court rulings has made it clear they believe there are still these government documents at mar-a-lago. this would be an attempt to satisfy them by letting the federal agents back down to the property. now, it wouldn't look like what we saw in august, with fbi

agents all over the grounds. this would be more of a supervised search, we were told, that likely trump's lawyers would be there. they would have a presence. and unclear whether or not they would even actually come to this decision. remember, they have not actually come up with a plan or an option here. this was just one of the things that they were weighing at this time, particularly given that growing number of legal concerns and the fact that the midterms are just around the corner, and trump is starting to weigh his next political move. victor. >> all right, kristen and jessica, thank you. georgia senator raphael warnock is airing a new ad highlighting the abortion controversy surrounding his opponent herschel walker. this is a strange in strategy for the campaign. we're live in georgia next. why do dermatolologists choose dove?

a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic. >> even his own son is saying walker is lying. >> cnn's dianne gallagher joins us live from macon, georgia, where walker had an event today. what is raphael warnock saying about this shift in strategy? >> victor, that's certainly what it appears to be, a full shift in strategy. up until now, the senator hasn't really directly addressed those allegations from an ex-girlfriend that herschel walker paid for her to have an abortion and encouraged her to have another. of course, the republican has denied those allegations and cnn has not independently confirmed them, but my colleagues were with the democratic senator today at a campaign stop in athens. they asked him, what prompted this, why go after this now in the homestretch? and much like he has for the past couple weeks, senator warnock side stepped the question and instead tried to refocus on his own position on

abortion rights. >> why now this attack ad? can you tell us about this specific ad, raising these abortion allegations as it relates to walker? >> i think that the women of this state deserve to know the choice between the two people in front of them. and about my commitment to a woman's rights to choose. >> now, walker himself at a campaign stop with several republicans did not address abortion in a stump speech to supporters today. but his campaign did tell cnn that they thought that this was in part showing desperation and they also said that, quote, everything points to herschel having the momentum on his side. they did not address that ad directly, though, victor. >> so we heard from herschel walker there, that he supports a national ban on abortion, but on the question of exceptions to that ban, he has not been

consistent. >> yeah, and this sort of mirrors what we have seen from republicans across the country, victor, where they have tried to either walk back or soften their stance on extremely restrictive abortion bans. ever since the dobbs decision and what we saw happen in kansas. in fact, herschel walker at the debate and in a subsequent interview with nbc trying to say he may accept exceptions when as recently ozaugust he was telling voters quite the opposite. >> early in this race, you indicted you don't want any exceptions. >> no, no. i said i'm for life. i never said i didn't have exceptions. >> i believe in life. >> now, his campaign has since referred us to what walker said at the debate, victor, saying that he will support, because what the people want, because dobbs returned the power back to

the state, but of course, supporting that national abortion ban would also be in opposition of that position. >> all right, dianne gallagher for us in macon, georgia. thank you very much. let's bring in former republican congressman joe walsh, also the host of the white flag podcast, and cnn political commentator, joe lockhart, former press secretary under the clinton administration. we have two joes with us. one is a former congressman so i'll start with congressman and then go to joe. congressman, on the question of exceptions to this abortion ban, herschel walker has been on both sides of this. what are voters to believe here? >> victor, they can't believe a damn thing he says. look, the bottom line is, and i say this as a former republican. herschel walker is utterly unfit to be a united states senator. i'm glad that warnock is finally going after him. but victor, it just seems like

it's too late. i mean, warnock is going after him because herschel walker has a pretty decent chance of winning down in georgia. and it's this sense of urgency and fight that i haven't felt from democratic candidates all over the country this year. you and i have talked about it before, victor. herschel walker is an election denier. i mean, that alone should disqualify him, but that's an issue where democrats haven't been strong enough. >> joe, let me come to you. congressman walsh says it's too late now to bring up this new ad from the warnock campaign highlighting the abortion allegations. why the shift now, and do you think it's too late? >> actually, i don't think it's too late. i think the shift was pretty predictable. one of the first rules of politics is when your opponent is on fire, leave them alone. when it starts going out, throw gas on it. they're throwing gas on it now.

this does two things for them. one is i think they're trying to depress herschel walker's very conservative white evangelical vote with reminding people that he paid for an abortion. it's also doing something else for warnock and democrats which is herschel walker is running against joe biden, not raphael warnock. this puts abortion back in the center of this debate, which works for warnock and causes a problem for republicans. because you're right, they're getting all tangled up on how far they can go because they were so excited about a full ban, now they know that's not what the voters want. so i think the strategy is predictable. i don't think it's too late and it works on a number of levels. >> we know democrats certainly want abortion to be at the center of the conversation. polls show voters believe that the economy and inflation are at the center of this conversation. before i jump to the pennsylvania race, joe lockhart, do you think this hurts senator warnock by going in this direction at all? >> no, listen.

if herschel walker had his way, this would be about joe biden and inflation and the economy alone. what democrats are trying to say is there are bright spots in the economy and problems in the economy, but also seminole issues in america, a woman's right to choose, democracy, and these are things that will go on for generations, not just the next three or four months. any time the democrats are able n move it off the economy into a broader conversation about where we're going as a country, it's a positive. >> we saw the president, another joe, was in pennsylvania today. and the lieutenant governor, the democratic nominee for senate, john fetterman, was in attendance there. his campaign released a new letter from his doctor saying i'm going to read one sentence here. he has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office. the debate between fetterman and oz, that's on tuesday.

should oz approach fetterman's stroke recovery in this debate? how should he introduce it if at all? >> it's an issue. and i guess i'm less interested and concerned with what oz does than what fetterman does. and i think fetterman, the last month or two, has been really great about this whole issue. i had a stroke, i'm recovering. i'm getting better every day. and i think, victor, if fetterman takes that tone in this debate and is straight and straightforward with pennsylvania voters, and lets pennsylvania voters see that he's doing well, i think he's in fine shape. i think he should ignore any shots or insults that oz throws his way on his health because that will make oz look bad. it's really about fetterman making kind of sealing the deal now in this debate with pennsylvania voters.

>> joe lockhart, on the question of the style of campaigning the president is doing, he was there to promote progress there on the bridge that collapsed the last time he was in that area. where are the big rallies? we're not seeing the president do those big campaign rallies that former president obama is doing. we saw president trump has done dozens of them. is it that he's not wanted, that he can't do those rallies? >> well, listen, i think first off, someone needs to remind people in the country that a lot has gotten done in the last two years. infrastructure being one of those things. and the inflation reduction act, all of that. but you know, congressman walsh knows people in a tough race know better than anyone what's good for them. if they think having joe biden come in and campaign for them, they're going to ask him to come in. if they think there's a risk of firing up the opposition, they'll ask him not to come in. that is something that every politician, every president

faces. the other thing i would say is, this is not talked about as much, having a president come into a state or a congressional race shuts a campaign down for two or three days. it's very expensiexpensive, ver disruptive. there has to be a real reason you want to come in there. pennsylvania is a great example because they'll benefit from infrastructure, and the president is also doing what all presidents should be doing, which is raising a bunch of money. >> congressman walsh, one last one for you. i want to look at the new york governor's race where there's a new quinnipiac poll that shows that representative lee zeldin, republican nominee, is within four points of incumbent democrat here kathy hochul. inflation is not the top issue for either party. for democrats, it's protecting democracy. for republicans. it's crime. same for independents, crime tops issues for all groups. independents breaking for zeldin by 20 points. what are you seeing there? >> victor, republicans, and again, i say this as a former

new jobs data out today showed last week 214,000 people in this country filed new jobless claims. that's lower than the 230,000 that was estimated. let's discuss now with cnn business correspondent rahel solomon. what's the big takeaway from this number? >> this is a low number. lower than expected and also if you look at the four-week moving average which smooths away some volatility, that is also really low. that number coming in at 212,000. so what this means is this is still a very hot, strong labor market. of course, the unployment rate also historically low at 3.5%, and in terms of how this is viewed by the fed, citibank put

out a note saying reports like this, numbers like this essentially made the fed more hawkish. doesn't give the fed any reason to take its foot off the brake. so when we hear from the fed a little less than two weeks from now, november 1st, november 2nd, it's starting to feel like another 75 basis points, which is really something we have not seen >> went into the break by talking about the numbers in the housing market. >> the housing market, sales continue to fall off a cliff. so home sales fell for the eighth month in a row. home sales down almost 24% compared to a year ago. even monthly down about 1.5%. this of course in part because of what the fed is doing. this is eight months in a row, remember, so it started in february, what happened in february? that's around when the fed started raising rates. the fed doesn't set mortgage rates, but when it raises rates, it impacts all sorts of borrowing costs. this is why, the 30-year fixed is just shy of 7%. remember earlier this year,

talking about 3%. some people locked in at sub-3%, at lower than 3%, so this is part of the reason home sales are falling. if you have locked in at 3%, at 2%, why would you sell in this market? home prices, by the way, still higher than a year ago, and that's partly because in addition to the mortgage rates, you don't have a lot of supply. so it's a really tough time to buy a house, also not much easier to rent because rent inflation. >> everything is going up. in two weeks when we see this decision from the fed, we could see mortgage rates climb even higher after that. >> they are expected to climb for some time. one thing that sort of kept a lid on prices or rates earlier this year were fears of a recession. it's a little wacky how that works, but we do not expect the fed to stop with the interest rate hikes until 2024. we expect them to continue to raise a few more times and keep them pretty high into 2024. so it's early days here. >> buckle up. >> yeah. >> rahel solomon. >> i'll be here for the ride.

else. >> reporter: as you can see, victor, they just can't figure out what happened here. they said the last time that they were talking to her, she was excited because she got a job offer. they just really don't know what happened, again, asking for the public's help and trying to identify their sister. victor? >> the bloodhounds leading to a lake is not the update i'm sure that they wanted. bryn, thanks. after six weeks on the job and a financial plan that rocked the uk market, british prime minister liz truss is stepping down. what this means for america's relationship with the uk. that's ahead.
