♪ good morning. it is saturday, october 29th. i'm amara a walker. >> i'm boris sanchez. you are live in the cnn

newsroom. this morning early voting location are open across the country and preliminary election data is already showing more than 17.5 million americans have cast their ballots so far. with ten days to go before election day, candidates are bringing out big-name surrogates in their final push for votes. president biden and former president obama are on the campaign trail for democrats in key states. >> over the next week, former president trump also holding rallies in support of republican candidates across four states. the infusion of political star power is underscoring just how many of these key races are neck-and-neck. in georgia, the senate race between democrat raphael warnock and herschel walker has some in the democratic leadership concerned. here is senate majority leader chuck schumer caught on a hot mic talking about that race.

>> going downhill in georgia. that race in georgia crucial to the democrats' chances of holding on to their 50/50 majority in congress. >> it's not just krael of congress at stake. several key governorships are up for grabs. one in new york. a race that was not close over the summer suddenly getting very tight between incumbent democrat "hocus pocus" and congressman lee zeldin. that race being determined now by concerns over crime in new york. >> team coverage this morning, this final push to get out the vote. let's start with cnn white house reporter kevin lip chak with the president in wilmington, delaware, this morning. hi, kevin. this is the final stretch for

democrats as they try to maintain control of congress. what's president biden's strategy? >> reporter: yeah, sure is, amara. you are starting to hear the president, vice president, sharpen their messages dates close counsel to november, as democrats grow increasingly anxious about their prospects in november and their close argument centers around this warning about what might happen if republicans regain majorities in congress. of course, the president has spent most of this campaign season trying to emphasize his accomplishments, but it has been sort of persistent frustration among his advisors that that doesn't seem to be breaking through. so in this final stretch they have made the determination that the president and vice president will start talking more about what republicans might do to the president's agenda if they take control. now, they are both at a fundraising dinner last night in philadelphia. listen to a little bit of their message last night. >> let's be clear.

this election is not a referendum. it's a choice. a choice between two vastly different visions of america. >> contraception is on the line. marriage equality is on the line. with republican party leaders in charge, health care is on the line. social security would be on the line. medicare would be on the line. good jobs and fair wages for working families on the line. >> reporter: now, we won't see the president again on the campaign trail until next week when he goes to florida. his wife, the first lady jill biden, is campaigning in new hampshire today. the vice president is campa campaigning in maryland. the president we will see him in wilmington, casting his early vote. the white house says he will be joined by his granddaughter natalie. she turned 18 this year. this will be her very first time casting a ballot. >> look forward to watching that lart this afternoon.

kevin liptak, thank you so much. to georgia now. nadia romero is at a polling location out of atlanta. record turnout. we have seen some big crowds, too. what does it look like this morning? >> reporter: yeah, boris, it's still a sleepy saturday for many people who are at home probably watching you on tv, getting ready for their day. we see those numbers usually pick up during the afternoon hours and then that's what you start to see the lines, and especially right before those polls close at 7:00 p.m. is when people are dashing in to either drop off their absentee ballots or trying to make their way into in-person vote. we are told by the poll worker that works here at ponce library in the hart of atlanta this is the busiest location throughout the city. if you look at the statewide numbers here in georgia, we had more than 1.39 million georgians

already vote in person during the early voting process, and the majority of them right here in fulton county, more than 175,000. but when you break it down by demographic, it's folks who are 65 and older who are casting their ballots at a higher rate than people who are much younger, who are just now getting that opportunity to participate in this civic duty. and so we asked the question why. why aren't younger people voting? if you look at the age group 22 to 29, only about 4% of them make up those ballots that have participated in the early voting process so far in this you state. i want you to hear the issues that matter most to a gentleman as he works on his own organization to encourage people to vote. take a listen. >> i think candidates are failing on really explaining how their jobs affect their day-to-day lives. day-to-day generational impacts, student loans is something that is really personal to my demographic, abortion rights, women's rights.

in addition, environmental rights. >> reporter: and he went on to say that social justice is something that he finds himself to be important. he is only 26 years old. when he talks to youth, that's something that's really important to them. they say that's not in the forefront like it was in the 2020 election. he also believes that sometimes politicians go to college campuses or neighborhoods, ask the youth to vote for them and the same candidates disappear until election time again. here at this location it's been open since 7:00 a.m. so about two hours, people walk inside. there is no line right now. they can easily come in and vote. we are seen seeing from our own observations an older crowd, especially in the early morning hours. >> all right. thank you. and to cnn's gloria paz mean owe in humtsville, new york. but, we're talking about a suddenly tightening governor's race there, much more competitive, and of course the question is did the democrats misjudge the momentum.

what more can you tell us? >> well, it's certainly a headache for the democrats at this time. one that they were not expecting or wanting to have, especially not in new york. deep blue new york. usually expected to go to a democrat, governor kathy hochul, the incumbent in this race, facing very, very close polls. we are standing in suffolk county. this an area that has been represented by former congressman lee zelding, the republican nominee in the race, and he has been making his campaign about the issue of public safety. areas of suffolk county, parts of long island are expected to come out for zelding, and this is where he is going to be later on this evening campaigning alongside governor ron desantis, bringing in big republican names to get out the vote. they will be holding a get out the vol rally at lee zelding

campaign headquarters here in such you can county. bringing in the big names, hoping to drum up support. he has been focusing on the issue of public safety. governor kathy hochul has been spending her morning in buffalo. that's her hometown. she got out there this morning and cast her ballot. the very first day of early voting here in new york, which begins today. we are standing in front of a polling location which opened up just a couple of minutes ago and we have been watching a very, very slow stream of poll workers and people coming to set up the operation. as you said at the beginning, suddenly very close. governor kathy hochul will certainly need the down state democrats to turn out for her because in areas like long island why we are right now, she might be facing a tough challenge. >> gloria paz mean owe, thank you so much. joining us to share their iniegts on these midterm races, cnn political commentator and

former republican congressman charlie dent and former hillary clinton manager patty solis doyle. good morning to you both. patty, starting with you, it appears that democrats had to reallocate resources and attention to races like the one in new york that weren't very close just a few weeks or months ago. what is it saying to you that democrats are having to play defense so late in the game? >> well, it says to me that it's the closing days of the midterm elections and it says that the races everywhere are tightening and i think that's normal. i think what democrats are doing are bringing out the big guns, as your reporters stated earlier, to get out that vote, make sure that the base is out. we can still win in places like new york. i think i'm actually thinking

new york is ours. but also more contested states like georgia and pennsylvania, the key at this point for both sides, actually, republicans and democrats, is to make sure that their bases come out. especially with early voting. so i am not too nervous because, as i said, it's expected that these races are going to tighten very much. >> charlie, to you. there are some notable election deniers running in very big races. i am wondering what you think it means for the country if candidates like kari lake or doug mastriano in your home state of pennsylvania, what does it mean if they get elected? >> well, in the case of doug mastriano, it would be a catastrophe because he is a truly election denier, extremist, to be charitable, and he has the ability to appoint a secretary of state. that would be stunning if he became governor. i don't think he hwill. i voted for josh shapiro.

i think he will be fair to all pennsylvanians. that said, you know, shap eiro will win but probably not by the margin people think. kari lake, you mentioned, out in arizona, you know, she is a much more polished version of doug mastriano and appears she is likely to win. she does not appoint a secretary of state. i worry about election deniers in positions where they can appoint people to oversee and administer elections. when people have a predetermined outcome for an election, that's a very dangerous thing. >> patty, obviously, there is going to be finger-pointing if democrats see historic losses on election night, but there is still time before election day. you mentioned getting out big names out there, president biden, former president obama. is there much democrats can do to reverse the trends we're seeing in polling now? >> you know, history tells us that the party in power

traditionally loses a number of seats during the midterm elections. right now democrats control congress by the smallest margins in decades. so it's not going to be that difficult for republicans to win back the house. in fact, i think that's probably likely going to happen. in the senate, it's much more close and i'm not sure what's going to happen there. i don't think anybody can tell you what's going to happen there at this point but there is always finger-pointing. you can ask president obama, president trump, president clinton and president bush, for t that matter, during their midterm elections when they were in office. i think it will be an opportunity no matter what happens for both parties, frankly, to regroup, really analyze the results and figure out how to move forward. >> and, charlie, as patty noted, the senate is up for grabs.

nobody knows what's going to happen. the way the map looks appears to potentially favor a republican takeover with races in georgia, arizona, nevada that are extremely tight, within the margin of error and republicans only need to gain one seat f they fake to take the senate, who bears responsibility? >> well, i would have to put a lot of the burden on donald trump for his unhelpful interventions in advancing candidates who are unfit or not well qualified or problematic. that would be the issue. but let's face it. democrats are playing defense everywhere, in the senate and the house. they are playing defense on six house seats in new york. they have just pulled out of a seat in oregon where biden won by nine points. rhode island they are on defense. nevada they are defending three house and a senate seat that is in trouble. i just think there are problems everywhere for the democrats right now. i am not predicting a tidal wave, but this could be a mini red wave we are about to

experience. reasons i thought a few weeks ago that the chances of them winning the senate weren't that great. now i think they are much, much better, particularly in pennsylvania where mehmet oz had a good debate performance relative to his opponent who gave, frankly, a disqualifying performance. i think pennsylvania is in a better spot than it was a few weeks ago as well. >> patty, i want to give you an opportunity to respond to that comment from charlie about the disqualifying performance of john fetterman. >> john fetterman has, you know, suffered a stroke and so i don't think it was disqualifying. i also don't think that the impact of the debate will be that great. from my campaign days, debates in my view are not that impactful. it's much more about the campaign that you run. i also think in the state of

pennsylvania and charlie mentioned this, you know, i think shapiro has some quite long coattails there. it was just recently that mehmet oz sort of went from defense to offense. i am not sure it was in time. so i'm feeling pretty good about pennsylvania. i am not feeling great about any of these races because they are all very, very close, but i'm feeling pretty good about pennsylvania. >> so much to keep up with. go ahead, charlie. >> i was going to say, look, i saw that debate on tuesday night and i got to tell you, i have functional eyes and i have functional ears. the fetterman campaign has not been transparent. they have been understating this problem for some time. they should have pulled him off the ballot in august when they had the chance. but he didn't. and i feel badly. i have family members who have had strokes. sorry. i don't think he is ready. >> we'll see how voters in pennsylvania feel about that in about ten days. charlie dent, patty solis doyle,

out of touch with reality. that is how an acquaintance describes the suspect accused of attacking house speaker nancy pelosi's husband. now, we are learning more about the suspect, but more importantly, how the attack unfolded. >> sources tell cnn the assailant tried to tie up 82-year-old paul pelosi after breaking into the couple's san francisco home and attacking him with a hammer. the attacker confronted pelosi shouting "where is nancy?" according to sources familiar with the investigation. pelosi underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture. he is also being treated for

other serious injuries. fortunately though he is expected to make a full recovery. police say this was not random. they say this was targeted attack. >> this was not a random achlkt this was intentional. and it's wrong. our elected officials are here to do the business of their cities, their counties, their states and this nation. their families don't sign up for this, to be harmed. and it is wrong. and everybody should be disgusted. >> now, the san francisco district attorney says when police arrived the suspect used the hammer against paul pelosi in a manner that appeared he was intending to kill him. president biden called the attack despicable. >> enough is enough is enough.

every person of good conscience needs to clearly and unambiguously stand up against the violence in our politics, regardless of what your politics are. >> we get more now on the attack, on paul pelosi, from cnn's natasha chen. >> reporter: san francisco police chief bill scott became emotional during a press conference friday evening saying this attack was intentional and wrong. adding that family members of our elected leaders did not sign up for this and we should all be disgusted. speaker pelosi arrived at zuckerberg san francisco general hospital behind me here by midafternoon on friday. doctors here said her husband, paul pelosi, underwent successful surgery to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his arm and hands. he is expected to make a full recovery. the suspect is also still being treated at the hospital for minor injuries. now, police have been able to speak with him, 42-year-old

david depape. he is expected to be bocked on suspicion of first free murder, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon. the san francisco police chief said the assailant broke into the pelosi residence through the back door in the early hours on friday morning. speaker pelosi was in d.c. at the time. the d.a. said it is really thanks to mr. pelosi calling 911 and talking to a dispatcher in code and the instinct of that dispatcher to realize something was wrong and making that police call a priority. fords chief scott said that instinct was life-saving. he said someone opened the door when police knocked and police saw mr. pelosi and the suspect through the doorway, both holding on to the same hammer. police gave commands for both men to drop the hammer and the police chief said that then the suspect pulled the hammer away and violently attacked mr. pelosi with at least one strike.

a facebook page that depape's family members say was his was taken down friday but showed posted memes and conspiracy theories about covid vaccines, the 2020 election and the january 6th attack. an acquaintens told cnn that he was, quote, out of touch with reality. depape may be assigned a public defender once the rarraignment s scheduled. the d.a.'s office expects charges monday with an arraignment likely on tuesday. >> thank you so much. the attack on speaker nancy pelosi's husband is raising concerns among lawmakers. democrats and republicans are condemning ate tack. >> the final push to the midterm elections, cnn washington correspondent joining you now. what are lawmakers saying? >> there has been bipartisan condemnation of this attack. we heard from democrats and

republicans across the board who are expressing their outrage about this, calling it horrific, disgusting, and certainly expressing their sympathy for the pelosi family and sending along their well wishes to paul pelosi. here is just some of the latest reaction from one democrat and one republican on capitol hill. >> it reminds me of january 6th because when the insurrectionists broke into the capitol one of the first places they went was to the speaker's office. it shows us the tdanger that ou democracy is in. >> this is what happens when you convince a third of the country that election was stolen and the other side is an enemy. this isn't how democracies work. this isn't how self-governance works. we are in a bad moment. >> and you heard there karen bass reference january 6th and this certainly is the culmination of a lot of worry and fear that lawmakers have had increasingly so in recent years. there have been several high

profile-incidents targeting lawmakers and specific ally ther families that underscored that worry that this is real and we know, according to law enforcement sources, that in the last two years the threats to lawmakers and also their families has grown exponentially. we know according to a senior aide at capitol hill in the wake of all of this that capitol police is now assessing whether they should provide additional security, including in the form of security for family members of leadership, which right now does not exist. back to you guys. >> all right. thank you very much. a potential rail strike is looming after another union rejected the tentative deal brokered by president biden. what's at stake next.

the threat of a nationwide rail strike is very real as we head into a crucial political and holiday season. the lack of paid sick days now one of the main deal breakers for the railroad unions. >> any strike would bring the nation's major freight railroads grinding to a halt and that would create massive problems for the u.s. economy which is still, of course, dealing with the consequences of squeezed supply chains. cnn's vanessa explains what's at stake. >> a second union which represents railroad signal man voted down the national tentative agreement between u.s. freight railroads and rail unions. this is the deal that president biden was instrumental in getting done last month in order

to avoid a nationwide rail strike and this recent vote by the signal men not to ratify this contract also wasn't even close, about 60% of rank and file members voted against the agreement based on the fact that they say there is lack of paid sick time in the deal. now, this comes on the heels of another union representing maintenance rail workers voting down this same agreement earlier this month. so here is the state of play. six unions have voted to ratify, two have voted down the contract, and four are yet to vote. and the two unions to keep an eye on are blet and smart td. they represent the engineers and the conductors. these are the folks that drive the trains. and they are the largest unions who are at the negotiating table with biden administration officials. but even if the four remaining unions who are yet to vote

ratify this agreement, if the two unions who voted against it do not come up with new agreements by november 19th and authorize a strike, all of the other unions will walk off the job and honor the strike. and that would be a worst-case scenario for supply chains and inflation and the economy. and that possibility has businesses concerned. this past week 300 business groups from retail, agricultural and manufacturing industries sent a letter to president biden calling on him to intervene in the ratification of this national tentative agreement in order to avoid a potential rail strike. otherwise, it could be left to congress. if they choose to intervene, they can impose a contract on the unions or extend a cooling off period during which the unions cannot strike. but all of this is going to play out in the next couple of weeks around the midterms, around the holidays, and during a lame duck

session in congress. it's going to be quite something to watch. >> vanessa, thank you. peter kennedy has been a member of the broadway brotherhood of maintenance employees for 19 years. for those of you unfamiliar with bmwe, it is a national union representing workers who build and maintain the tracks, bridges, buildings and other structures that the railroads all over the u.s. depend on. peter, we are grateful to have you this morning. let's get right to it. is it accurate to say that the sticking point in negotiations right now is paid sick leave? >> good morning. thank you for having me on, boris. yes, that is correct. the resounding feedback that bmwd officers and several staff received during your ratification process it was that there are no paid sick days in this national agreement and that's a problem for our members. and the reason why is because members get sick and they need

paid time off to address issues of illnesses, a flu, waking up in a morning with a child with an earache or getting into a fender-bender on the way to work and having to get checked out at the hospital. these things happen and they need you a paid time to address that. >> you told "the new york times," quote, it's an insane and cruel system and these guys are fed up with it. help us understand what you see is broken in the current arrangement. >> absolutely. so what you have here is basically 20 years of bad blood forming, bad relationships forming between the employers and the employees. these railroads are effectively cartels that control the market and services of both pricing and how good their services are. and this whole time span, what's happened is they've been on a stock buy and demands, profits parade, showering shareholders in billions and billions of

dollars of rewards, and the employees have only seen a slight increase in wages to keep up with the increases, the cost of living over time. and so these employees have also watched a third of their co-workers go away. so these employees have been asked to do more work, maintaining the same infrastructure under the same rail traffic all for what they would deem very little reward. i would happen to agree very strongly with this. so it's time for the railroads to do the right thangd pony up the money and provide paid sick days. we have been trying to get paid sick days for almost 50 years now. 50 years is long enough to wait for paid sick days. >> peter, i know some of the members of your union wanted to accept the most recent terms that were presented. i am wondering what your message is to them and how you would describe the mood of your union. >> so our members continue to be very frustrated. that sentiment has not changed. there is a portion of the membership out there that is

just at the point where they are exasperated and want to move on. look, they have gone without a pay increase since 2019. that was the last pay increase. while the cost of living has skyrocketed, they haven't received any increases to their wages. they are standard of living has gone down the last three years. meanwhile, the railroad's record profits continue to be record after record and the shareholders get more and more money. union pacific announced its best quarter or another record quarter here for the third quarter of 2022. they spent over $2.1 billion just in the third quarter on stock buybacks. we are asking for 10% of that for one year of paid sick leave for all of our workers. so there are some that are just feel the defeated, they are asking why they keep doing this, and they are asking to be heard and be validated by getting paid sick time that would allow them to deal with these occurrences in life that happen. >> there is a tremendous amount

of pressure on the economy. several experts are forecasting a potential recession next year. do you think public opinion is going to stay with you if supply chains are already strained and inflation keeps getting higher and now this further complicates the ability of americans to get goods at relatively affordable costs in time? >> well, let me be very clear here. i would hope that the public opinion would stay with us because the majority of corporations out there have paid sick days and they also have paid supplemental sickness benefits for their employees. and we're asking to be treated the same way. we just want some paid sick days to deal with discrete illnesses. the railroad workers are the people that make the corporations highly profitable. they have been delivering record profits for them. guess what? they haven't had a wage increase in three years, yet the railroad's cost to provide services for their customers continue to go up and the shareholders and the corporations continue to sink

profits into their bank accounts. it's not our issue. it's the railroads' issue and they need to provide paid sick leave to their employees. it's a societal norm. they should do it because it's the right thing to do it and they can afford it without any issue whatsoever. >> peter kennedy from the bmwe. thank you so much for the time. >> thank you. the brird is freed according to elon musk. questions surrounding how the new owner will change the social media platform, including who will be allowed to return. the latest insight next. like #6 the boss. pepperoni kicks it off. with meatballsls smothered in rich marinara. don't forget the fresh mozzarella. don't you forget who the real boss isis around here. it's subway's biggest refresh yet. life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it'she number one doctor recommended brand that is scitifically designed to help manage your blood sugar.

musk tweeting let the good times roll. associate professor of marketing at the what rn school of business joining me to talk about this. of course, the biggest question is will trump be returning to twitter? i mean, since his return could impact the midterms. and then musk on friday tweeted this in response to a tweet from someone saying, quote, anyone suspended for minor and dubious reasons will be freed from twitter jail. we know that trump was banned from twitter permanently after january 6th. may not really be seen as minor. do you expect musk to reverse anyone who was permanently banned or will he be more judicious? >> elon musk's statements a couple months ago, i think you would have expected the content moderation policies of twitter would be fairly relaxed. when you look at -- thursday, he

did a 180 turn. it seems like now the policies will not necessarily be determined by him or if a few singular individuals. he signaled that content moderation will be carried out by a council. he tweet about a potential council. and he also has tweeted that there has not been any changes so far, significant changes to content moderation. so i think now he seems to be signaling that content moderation on his thursday statements, frirns, he used the term, people or hellscape twitter cannot be a free for all for hellscape. sounds like he is going to wait to take actions before bringing back accounts like trump. >> last i heard, i think there was content moderation council in place. so $44 billion. that's what elon musk spent. and by taking the company private, that means he is not beholden to shareholders. but he will be having to answer

to advertisers if he wants to boost twitter's value as he has stated. how much will he be able to open up the twitterverse to free speech, including abuse and misinformation, without spooking advertisers? >> this is one of the things that he also signaled on thursday. in his posts he was signaling e was signaling that he needs to focus more on advertising. he highlighted that advertising can bring value to both customers as well as advertisers if it can be done well and he highlighted especially targeted advertising efficiency. targeted advertising is not done well, it is when consumers hear about products they are not interested in hearing from or brands they do not want to see. it becomes almost a sfpam for them. it's important for a company to

understand the expectations and preferences of their customers and serve ads in line with their expectations. >> sounds like that's what musk would like to do. >> yeah. and lastly, we know that elon musk, i mean, he owns major companies like tesla and spacex, and now he is adding twitter, a major social media company to his cv. that's going take a lot of energy and time especially nfora micro-manager like elon musk, that's going to take a lot of attention, right, to add twitter now? >> yes. elon musk is a nano manager. he likes to be in control. he likes to be in charge. he likes to set his vision into his companies. but when you look at his portfolio, a company like spacex or a company like tesla, these companies have potentially a lot more to bring in terms of revenue to him. and the end what's twitter might also be a lot more of a headache for him because he needs to think about the expectations of individual consumers which can

be quite conflicting or controversial especially with regards to content moderation. at the end, what we might expect potentially is to put his vision into the company, not necessarily become the micro-manager that he is and eventually maybe even to, you know, spin off the company to let someone else have -- own the company. >> interesting. we are going to leave it there. thank you for the conversation. >> thank you. up next, history being made this morning on el capitan. an 8-year-old boy becoming the youngest person to summit the crown jewel of yosemite. and starting tuesday you can join don lemon, poppy harlow and kate collins on cnn this morning. it begins tuesday at 6:00 a.m. y. i just want to be able to cut the damage. we tried dove instead. so, ststill need that trim? oh my gosh! i am actually shocked i i don't need a haircut. don't trim daily damage. stop it with dove.
