♪ hello. i'm victor blackwell, welcome to "cnn newsroom." >> great to be with you all this afternoon. 15 days until election day and the fight for every last vote is intensifying. crucial debates are happening tonight in the race for florida

governor and tomorrow in the contest for senate in pennsylvania. nearly 7.3 million people have already cast their ballots in 39 states according to one analysis. >> right now, president biden is making his pitch to voters. he's hoping to shift the momentum away from republicans. a new analysis of the political landscape in these final weeks shows republicans are making late gains as they try to win back control of the house. white house correspondent jeremy diamond is with us now. give us details on what the president is saying. >> reporter: president biden is delivering right now what he termed a closing argument here as we are just about two weeks from election day. the president, though, isn't in the battleground states where you might expect him to be delivering that kind of closing argument. he's at democratic party headquarters where he said his goal is to try to energize the organizers who are calling into those battleground states, the staff at the democratic party who is working tirelessly to try and make sure the democrats hold on to the house and the senate. and the president said that he

wants to make clear that this is what he termed a choice election and not a referendum on his presidency. >> it's not a referendum, i should say, it's a choice. democrats are lowering your everyday costs like prescription drugs, health care premiums, energy bills and gas prices. folks, republicans have made it clear, at least their being honest this time, they're telling you exactly what they want to do if they win. >> and beyond this idea of costs and the president what he's likely referring to there is the fact that republicans want to repeal several cost-saving provisions of the inflation reduction act. the president talking about a number of other issues, trying to set up a contrast here, whether it was taxes for corporations, talking about fiscal responsibility, social media and medicare or abortion rights. the president making very clear what the stakes are in this election should democrats retain

control of congress or should republicans win back one or both houses of congress. but as i said, the president is delivering this message here in washington, d.c., and in large part that's because, as we're seeing in some of these new cnn poll numbers, the president is underwater. his approval rating underwater in several of these key battleground states and that's why a lot of these candidates don't necessarily want to be seen campaigning directly with the president. there's one state where the president has been repeatedly traveling to and that's the state of pennsylvania. on friday, we expect the president to return there, once again, for a fund-raising reception for the democratic party in philadelphia. the president certainly will be making his case as voters head to the polls in less than two weeks. >> jeremy diamond at the white house, thank you. it's debate night in florida in the race for governor. this is seen as the last big chance for democrat charlie crist to turn this race around. he's trailing ron desantis not just in polling, also in

fund-raising. >> crist has $2.2 million left to spend while desantis has $98 million on sand as of october. he's hitting him hard, but will that be an effective strategy? >> he's going to try to make the case that you can't be the governor of the third largest state and run for president at the same time. he's going to talk about that, abortion, affordability in the state of florida. this is what he needs to do. he needs to try to generate some kind of breakthrough viral moment that can galvanize democrats not just in florida but even around the country. the crist campaign believes that democrats made a costly error bby not getting involved in florida early and trying to slow desantis before he becomes too big of a national figure.

and they're hoping that they can convince people across the country to join that fight for the final few weeks. but here's what he's up against. 1.2 million people have already cast their ballots in florida by now. 42% of those were democrats compared to 38 republican. but democrats tend to vote early more than republicans in florida, especially since the 2020 election. and definitely by mail. the other issue is that he's going up against a fund-raising juggernaut and not only does he not have much cash on hand for the final few weeks of the race, but he hasn't reserved much air time for after this debate, meaning tonight is really his last best chance to talk directly to many voters across the state and try to convince them that ron desantis should be a one-term governor. you can expect desantis to step up to the challenge. he's not someone who has ever shirked from a fight and it will be interesting to see him on the

debate stage for the first time in four years and build on this momentum for this night and see if that carries him to a future presidential campaign. >> yeah, we'll be following this debate closely tonight, that is for sure. thank you. >> in the critical battleground state of georgia, the early vote is breaking records already. more than 830,000 people have voted. that total counts absentee and early ballots. the in-person total of 758,000-plus is the highest early turnout ever for a midterm election. >> georgia's secretary of state says this is unprecedented and consider this, since the first day of early voting this year, georgia has seen nearly twice the number of early voters compared to four years ago. on saturday, nearly 80,000 ballots were cast. that's exceeded what georgia saw on the same day in 2020. remember, that was a presidential year. tensions are high among early voters in maricopa county in arizona. two individuals armed and

dressed in tactical gear were seen at a ballot box in mesa. >> really troubling story here. the arizona secretary of state's office already referred one case of voter intimidation to the department of justice. here's more. >> reporter: with early vote well under way here in arizona, we are getting disturbing reports of voter intimidation at ballot drop boxes. there are two outdoor drop boxes, one of them is here in phoenix, right over my shoulder. you can see that. it is just innocuous box, but there have been people showing up at one of these drop boxes in maricopa county watching on lawn chairs in armed -- they are armed, wearing tactical gear, body armor, they are masked. and they are sitting in the back of a truck. now there have been some of these watchers outside of these ballot boxes, there have been

some here in phoenix and there's nothing wrong with watching. what is wrong, say election officials, is showing up, being armed, and intimidating voters and they believe this is, in fact, voter intimidation. they are concerned about voter safety and even more concerning that election officials say they believe that some of the candidates running here in arizona are egging them on, specifically the republican secretary of state candidate mark finch m who is urging people to show up at these drop boxes. election officials also say that on its face, this is simply ridiculous behavior because, yes, these drop boxes are outside, but there are almost 30 places where voters can drop off ballots early and there's also something called a mailbox that you can put your ballot in and mail it in early. victor, bianna? >> thank you. well, this just into cnn.

new polling from key battleground shows tight races in three states that were critical for biden's presidential win in 2020. democrats are putting major resources into senate races in pennsylvania and wisconsin. two seats they believe they have the best chance of flipping. >> so the new polling also shows that democrats have slight leads in michigan, pennsylvania, those are the governor's races we're talking about. david chalian with us now. good to see you. let's start in the senate and how close those contests are. >> pennsylvania and wisconsin, two states where republicans are trying to hold seats they currently have, where democrats see some potential opportunity to pad their majority. our brand-new cnn polling conducted among likely voters in pennsylvania, shows john fetterman with a slight advantage here, 51% to mehmet oz's 45%. in wisconsin, there is no clear leader in the race for united

states senate from wisconsin. ron johnson, 50% support, barnes, 49% support. this is well within the margin of error. no clear leader in this case. >> it really is neck in neck. what about the race for governor in those states, david? >> yeah, so we add michigan to the mix. they don't have a senate race this year. gretchen whitmer is at 52% support in our poll, tudor dixon at 46%. remember, abortion rights is actually on the ballot in michigan which may be having a benefit here for the democratic candidate. in wisconsin, not unlike the senate race there, guys, a just total within the margin of error race. the incumbent governor, 50%, tim michels at 40%. in pennsylvania, josh shapiro with 56% support compared to

doug mastriano, 41% support committed election denier, as you know, running for governor there on the republican side in pennsylvania. >> david, let's talk issues now. house speaker nancy pelosi and senator bernie sanders, they have different perspectives -- >> that's a good way of framing. >> -- on issues that democrats should be focused on in the final stretch. watch this. >> nobody said we're doing abortion rather than the economy. but it's -- it's about both. and i can tell you that that issue is very, very provocative and -- and encouraging people to vote. >> is the abortion -- abortion issue important? yes. but we have also got to focus on the struggles of working people to put food on their table. >> what do the polls tell us matters to these voters. >> i think they would say, we

agree. but i think the emphasis was clear. when we ask about most important issue in these critical battleground states, take a look. economy and inflation across all three of those midwestern -- they just dominate the other issues. 44% in pennsylvania call economy and inflation issue number one compared to 19% who say for abortion, similar story for wisconsin, similar story in michigan. a little uptick for abortion as an issue in michigan perhaps because it's literally an issue on the ballot there. >> and we see the fourth issue there is crime. and there's not a consensus across the country. obviously, we see spikes in crime in some parts of the country and not others. it's interesting to see michael smerconish zoom in on the issue of crime in pennsylvania and the race there. what are the polls saying in terms of what voters are focused on and how big of an issue that is there. >> in our pennsylvania poll, you see, again, crime is down at the bottom of this list of the three issues here, economy, inflation,

abortion, gun policy and crime. you look at it by party and even then, for republican voters, over overwelmingly they say that. 24% say the economy and inflation in pennsylvania. 30% say abortion is the top issue there. and 11% say gun policy and crime. that is not to say it's not an issue. it's being advertised on -- millions of dollars are being spent. republicans are trying to paint democrats as soft on crime. it doesn't top these other issues in terms of voters' consciousness. >> there's democratic campaigns that are releasing new tv and radio and digital ads featuring former president barack obama in these last 15 days to election day. he's going to hit the road to campaign at some rallies. in which races does he hope to make an impact? >> this is the barack obama

campaign trail coming up. he's going to hit detroit, michigan, on saturday and milwaukee, wisconsin, two of the states we showed you polling from. on friday, before we gets to the midwest, he's going to be in atlanta, georgia, obviously home to a critical senate race there between raphael warnock and herschel walker. barack obama, the most popular democrat on the trail and his clear mission is to really get base democrats enthused and excited and turned out to vote, especially with early voting as you guys were discussing earlier, very much under way. >> we'll see what kind of impact he has, just two weeks to go. thank you. an unprecedented rise of respiratory virus in children is straining hospitals across the country. doctors say the rsv, the flu, and covid, a resurgence could present a triple threat. and the uk is having a new prime minister. a look at the historic choice straight ahead. .

a respiratory illness is surging at unusually high levels in children across the country. these cases of rsv are putting a lot of pressure on the nation's pediatric hospitals. >> almost three quarters of beds at pediatric hospitals in the country are filled right now, more than at any time over the past two years of the pandemic. rosa flores is at texas children's hospital in houston and is with us now. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: there's a lot of concern, a lot of parents are concerned. let's start with the facts. these are the latest numbers from the cdc. they looked at 9% of the population across the country and they found that in a

one-week period in mid-october, there were more than 7,000 cases reported. now, according to the cdc, that's more cases in a one-week period than in the past two years. we all know that that includes covid which raises the question about hospitals, hospital availability, according to hhs, three out of every four pediatric hospital beds are in use right now. here at children's hospital, there are over 40 children being treated for rsv, including over ten who are in the icu. there's a lot of concern with parents. here's what doctors are saying. doctors recommend that parents don't panic but be very informed about what to look for. here are the symptoms, runny nose, decreased appetite, coughing, sneezing, fever and wheezing. doctors say to parents, you know your child best, observe your child. i talked to multiple parents here in houston and these parents described what they

looked at, what they looked for before going to the hospital. i talked to steven, his eight-week old son is here at the hospital and he described his rush here to the hospital. take a listen. >> it got bad quick. there's no way to describe it. i mean, it was a terrifying situation. it was heartbreaking. >> what would you tell parents who are watching this story? >> don't wait. do not wait. if you feel as if something is wrong with your child, you know your child better than anyone does. get your child help immediately. >> now there might be one thing that can make parents feel just a little better, doctors here at texas children's hospital told me that doctors know rsv, so this is not us going back to 2020 at the onset of covid where there are so many questions, where doctors are still trying to figure out what's what. doctors know rsv.

they say parents need to be vigilant and make sure there's no more strain on hospitals than needed, they're asking for parents to teach their children to wash their hands frequently and also, one very important thing that they recommend, is to get the flu vaccine. victor, bianna. >> thank you so much. on top of this rise in the rsv cases, there's concern of a new covid surge this winter. dr. rochelle walensky tested positive for covid on friday, but she has mild symptoms, received an updated booster last month. experts are also worried about a potential flu surge. joining us now, dr. f. perry wilson. i think it's called a tri-demic, what are the chances of that happening this fall and winter?

>> i think we're pretty much already there. the reason i'm so concerned is that both flu and rsv season aren't supposed to be happening yet. flu season really gets going late november and goes on through february and march sometimes. rsv season, december, january, is when we see peaks and we're seeing rsv cases at peak levels right now. and we're already seeing a fair amount of influenza cases starting to come in as well. the upswing is starting and, of course, covid is still here. we're seeing the pressure on the hospital system already with all these people admitted with respiratory infections. >> i want to come back to covid in a moment. let's start with rsv. we heard from rosa, obviously, the pediatric beds are overwhelmed, filling with children who are going in for rsv and other things. but at what point should a parent say, right now, i need to take you in. you don't want to wait until your child can't breathe, but

you don't want to unnecessarily overwhelm the system. when should they go in? >> well, the important thing is to have a good relationship with your pediatrician if you have a child. they can often walk you through those symptoms that are -- that are worrisome and those that you can safely just keep an eye on. i'm particularly worried for kids who are under 1 year of age. they're at the highest risk for complications of rsv and they don't tell you that they are sick. those kids less than 1 years of age are going to be lethargic, they might be inconsolable crying, even if you're holding them, they don't get better. difficulty breathing in someone of that age is going to look like retractions in the skin. the skin sort of pulling back between their ribs as they're trying to take breaths and wheezing. any of those signs, a really big red flag. call your doctor or get yourself to an emergency room. >> considering the age group you're most concerned about, the advice that doctors passed on doesn't apply to wash your hands frequently.

you're not going to tell your 10 month old, every hour, go wash your hands. what's the precaution for that age group? >> you're going to wash your hands for your -- on behalf of your 10 month old. rsv is common. adults get infected with it all the time which is probably why we don't get that sick. we have built-up immunity to that. older kids in the house can be bringing it home from their schools. so you want to have everyone in the family doing their best to keep up hand hygiene, we've known about washing hands for hundreds of years. it is really good advice and it's going to keep kids safest from rsv right now. >> now to covid. the president is scheduled to receive his third vaccine booster. this is shot number five now. he just had covid end of july, beginning of august. so we're three months out from that. is this the right time frame for most people to follow to get that booster after you've

already had a recent case of covid? >> well, the cdc recommends giving some time between a case of covid, 90 days is the official recommendation before a booster. i will say that the boosters are looking a bit better now because some of these new variants like ba.275.2 show they're evading antibodies from vaccines. but those new variants are omi omicron offshoots. this is a good chance this is going to get you a good edge from some of the new variants coming in from europe and whatnot. seems like a good idea for the president who is shaking a lot of hands. >> good to know. thank you. >> i feel like a superhero. i got my kids boosted and got them a flu shot last week. >> on the same day. >> on the same day. >> and they were not very happy with me that day. >> how did they feel the next day? >> they were a little sore.

jury selection is happening now in the manhattan district attorney's criminal tax fraud and grand larceny trial against the trump organization. >> the company is facing nine counts in connection with an alleged scheme dating back to 2005 to compensate executives, quote, off the books. we're outside the court right now. we know that former president trump has not been personally indicted in this case. so what is really at stake here? >> well, good afternoon. the former president has not been indicted in this case and he's not expected to be implicated in any wrongdoing when trial testimony gets under way. this is one of the most significant pieces of the many criminal investigations that have been circling around the former president. this is the company that he's built from the ground up now on trial, like you said, on those nine counts, including grand larceny and tax fraud. the trump organization has

pleaded not guilty to those charges. during the course of this trial, we're expected to hear testimony from several trump organization insiders including its former cfo allen weisselberg. he's expected to testify and answer questions by both the prosecution and the defense in this case. now, it's important to remember, jury selection is just under way right now. they brought in a panel of 130 prospective jurors. they dismissed half of them and they were dismissed for things such as medical reasons, scheduling and some biases they may express. now the selection is under way in ernest. the judge is going to be polling the jurors until they're able to get a group of 12 jurors who are unbiased and several alternates. the judge is signaling that this is going to take more than one day. he told the lawyers they should be prepared to see a new panel of jurors tomorrow, that they will swear in. ultimately what's at stake here if the trump organization is convicted, they could face a

maximum fine under the charges that they're faced with in new york state of $1.6 million. that's not a tremendous amount of money for a company at this size. the bigger question will be if there's any collateral damage. will they have trouble finding business partners or any financing. but that is some time away when -- as they work to seat a jury now on the questioning just beginning again now that we're back from lunch. >> thank you. another legal development, the supreme court has spared senator lindsey graham for now at least. justice clarence thomas blocked a lower court order that would have required him to testify in front of a georgia grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election. >> paula reid is with us now. explain thomas' order and what happens next. >> victor, this is just a temporary victory for the senator. justice clarence thomas has halted a lower court order that said a georgia grand jury could

seek testimony from the senator as to an ongoing investigation into interference into the 2020 election. in the original subpoena that went to the senator, it is dated november 17th, so senator graham asked the supreme court to just put that subpoena on hold while these larger legal issues continue to play out and they have granted him that. this is a temporary hold while the full supreme court will consider some of these bigger questions. the senator has insisted that anything that he did in the state of georgia after the election, that it was part of his job as a senator, constitutionally protected activity, but lower federal courts have disagreed with that and they have held that, in fact, this grand jury can speak his testimony on some of the issues that it is examining. the supreme court has asked those georgia investigators to

respond to this by thursday and over the next few weeks, we'll see what the supreme court does next. this is a temporary victory for the senator. >> this back and forth has been going on for months now. thank you. >> well, it may not be a bird or a plane or even superman, but starting today, nasa's new team studying ufos will try and find out what exactly it is. think he's posting about a all that ancient roman coinage? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never sps working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. this is lily. when you see tngs differently, you can be the difference. ♪ capella university sees education differently. our flexpath learning format helps you control the pace and cost

to work with? >> really, you're telling us to lower our expectations here. >> way low. >> talk to us about -- >> i'm sorry, yes. >> it's all right. >> it happens. >> i'm also curious to know this as are millions of other people, but explain to us why this is an important study to do. >> the thing is, with ufos and uaps, in general, there's always been a lot of excitement, but the data has always been pretty -- it's not been very good. there's not been much that anybody can work with. if somebody tells you that they saw something last night, how are you supposed to turn that into anything you can draw a conclusion from. we need to get past all of the excitement and the conspiracy theories and begin to look at what data there and really whether we need to start collecting new data. that's really what i think is ultimately where you're going to have to go.

this commission is really putting together really talented people and they're smart, they are creative, and they're also very, very boring which is very important for something like this. boring in the scientific sense. they're really going to take the data that they have and just without bias, just try and evaluate what's there to work with. >> that's where i was going to go with this. you wrote a few months back that nasa was going to get involved, that they could -- if handled well, do more than shed light on uaps. what's the definition of if handled well? what does that look like? >> the thing is, about science, there's the -- what i like to call the most important, most boring idea in the universe and that's standards of evidence. science works on this very

meticulous process of evaluating what's a good piece of evidence and what to do with it. of course this works because i'm talking to you in my room right now through a box, right? only because of all the work that's been done in science, can this computer actually be my image to you. so we have to apply the same kind of exacting and meticulous standards to the ufos and uaps or with the work that i do and my colleagues looking for life on other planets. the work here is to really separate the wheat from the chaff and ask, what would we need to really tell what ufos and uaps are all about. >> what is your most presencing question out of this inquiry? what are you hoping to learn? >> well, i really would like to see -- i would like to see the next steps. what i would like them to say is what do we need to really answer this question? what kind of program would we have to put in place? what kind of data collection would we have to put in place to

really go after this question. i personally don't think this has anything to do with aliens but i think science is about doing an unbiased job of asking that question. so really from a scientific point of view, well, what kind of equipment do you need? where do you start? >> is there alien life? tell me, professor. [ laughter ] >> i don't know. i'm not sure -- >> you wrote a whole book! if you don't know -- >> you know, it's the most pressing -- it's the oldest question we've ever had, are we alone? are we the only time in cosmic history that this strange thing called life and self-conscious life has evolved? and the answer is, we just don't know. i have any own personal opinion, there's so many planets, i think, yes, it's happened, but until -- it's possible we're not. it's possible we're alone.
