just ahead here on cnn newsroom. republican and nikki haley begins her run for for confidene the tests, politicians over 75 years old. could she be targeting president biden? or donald trump? our political analyst weighs in. plus, anger in eastern ohio as residents wonder if this small town is safe after a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed. and, later, survivors still being found under the rubble more than a week after a powerful earthquake left parts of turkey and syria devastated. >> live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with rosemary church. >> but first, we begin with new developments in the investigation into former president donald trump's role in seeking to overturn a 2020 election. cnn has now learned a special counsel has subpoenaed trump's
11:02 pm
former chief of staff mark meadows, who was witness to trump's actions during the insurrection at the u.s. capitol. cnn's evan perez has more details now from washington. >> donald trump's former chief of staff mark meadows has been subpoenaed by a special counsel jack smith was overseeing two investigations of the former president. the subpoena is taking documents and testimony related to january 6th, and trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the move to subpoena one of trump's most senior aides in addition to the recent subpoena former vice president mike pence marks the latest significant step in the sprawling investigation. smith is investigating trump's handling of classified documents after he left office, and while the subpoena related to january six, meadows also maybe of interest in the documents investigation. he played a role in the months of discussion going on between the national archives, and
11:03 pm
trump's representatives over returning government records that were in his possession. special counsel sabrina could also set up a clash with the justice department, and meadows, and trump over executive privilege. now he was a witness to pressure officials in the states, and congress to help him remain in power, despite losing -- evan perez, cnn, washington. >> a former special counsel at the u.s. defense department weighed in on whether signing executive privilege could keep mark meadows from testifying in this investigation. >> we have jack smith wants mark meadows testimony, jack smith will get mark meadows testimony. i think there's executive, privilege it is a, loser as a unanimous unambiguous supreme court case with a sitting president, let alone a former chief of staff, the judge in this case, cnn has reported, has already decided against privilege with the white house counsel deputy white house
11:04 pm
counsel, that is done. the supreme court had an opportunity to grant executive privilege on the documents that the january six committee wanted, and they did, not and those are the same kinds of arguments. privileged to include mark meadows correspondents, and that is a dead -- there's no way there will jackson with will not succeed on that one. >> the republican field for presidential hopefuls could be expanding soon. so far only donald trump and nikki haley have declared their candidacy, but more than a -- delaying runs for the white house. including iowa -- mike pence who had this to say about haley. >> i wish her well, investigator nikki haley did a good job in our investigation, she may have more companies soon, and i promise folks in
11:05 pm
iowa, i will keep you posted. >> nearly announced her candidacy by video message on tuesday, and one day later she hit the campaign trail in her home state of south carolina. cnn's kylie atwood is there. >> for a strong america, for a proud america, i am running for president of the united states of america. >> nikki haley throwing her hat into the ring for the 2024 presidential race. >> we are ready, ready to move past the still ideas and faded names of the past. >> the proud daughter of indian immigrants calling for a generational change in american politics. >> america as not past our prime, it is just that our politicians are past there is. >> it was elected governor of south carolina turned 51 last month, even calling for a competency test for older
11:06 pm
politicians, which would include percentage o biden and former president donald trump. now, arrival for the gop nomination. >> mandatory competency test for politicians over 75 years old. >> she detailed her vision for's future, and for the direction of the republican party. >> we have lost the popular vote, and seven of the last eight presidential elections. our cause is right, but we have failed to win the confidence of a majority of americans. well, that ends today. >> as the former ambassador to the united nations, she focused in on the threat for china as well. >> it is unthinkable that americans would look at this guy, and see a chinese spy balloon looking back at us. >> highlighting her identity as a woman of color, she waded into the culture wards -- claiming that america is not a racist country.
11:07 pm
>> this is a virus more dangerous than any pandemic, it is a system of a lack of pride in our country, and a lack of trust in our leaders. >> if her bid is excessive, haley would be the first woman and first asian american nominated by the republican party for president. >> this is not the america that called to my parents, and make no mistake, this is not the america i will leave to my children. >> with her announcement, haley is the first major republican challenger to trump, who was criticized her decision to enter the 2024 for a, despite saying her short to run. >> i said look, go -- >> for her, part hilly only mentioned trump once in her speech today, with a two likely to be joined soon by other republican hopefuls in the coming months. >> as i have set out on this new journey, i will simply say that, may the best woman when. >> nikki haley really had a
11:08 pm
little piece or something in the street for everyone, clearly trying to appeal to a wide swath of republican voters, but even though it is only officially her and the former president trump who have entered the race, there are other expected contenders who are already out on the campaign trail. -- and the former vice president mike pence all in south carolina this week. elliott, would cnn, charleston, south carolina. >> cnn senior political analyst ron brownstein joins me now from los angeles, is also easier editor at the atlantic. always a pleasure to have you with us. >> thank you for having me, rosemary. >> so nikki haley is a first gop candidate to challenge donald trump for the republican nomination, calling for a new generation of leadership, and trying to distance herself from her old boss. but, the reality, is her support falls far behind that of trump, or even one desantis is yet to officially declare his running. so is haley in this race to be
11:09 pm
president, or vice president? >> that is a really good question. i mean look, her chances, i think she has a difficult road in the republican primary. she is a candidate who i think is probably going to appeal mostly to college educated republicans, the half of the party that is college educated a supposed to the half that is not college educated. that could be a crowded lane. many of the candidates who are looking at the race, glenn youngkin, larry hogan, governor of new hampshire, mike pompeo, many of them would have more appeal on that side of the ledger, and of course if you look back at 2016, donald trump won the nomination by nominating among the non-college half of the party, and he was -- pretty significant resistance all the way through among the college educated republicans. >> haley held her presidential campaign kickoff rally in her home state of south carolina wednesday, we saw the pictures there as you were speaking to us, what did she say that would
11:10 pm
resonate with voters, and what sets her apart in different sheets her from other gop competitors like trump, desantis, mike pence we just signaled he expects to join the presidential race soon? >> while the core of her argument as you noted, she represents a generational change in the republican party. i do think there's an audience in each party for the idea of generational change. she has to be challenges though, i think, one is that the republican primary electorate is not only very -- it is also very gray. almost every state, at least two thirds of the voters, often three quarters of the voters are voters who are age 45 or older. it means she won't have to go against older voters that we need ultimately a younger candidate. the other problem i think she has is that we have a generational change argument in the past, and i think if candidates like democrats -- in 1984 bill clinton in 1992 or
11:11 pm
george w. bush in 2000, it hasn't been just turning the page in terms of age, it has been tied to a critique of the party agenda, and a call for an ideological change in direction. there was really none of that today in her non-smith. there was no snow she was offering a different election for republicans, she was just saying i represent a different generation. she will need to flush that out i think more of a sense that she is pointing the party on a new path. >> right, and of course, if this ends up being a recent solving trump, desantis, pence, haley, others, who will likely get the republican presidential lawman a shun, and who ends up being any running mate? >> trump tends to divide voters on lines of education. as i said, have the republican voters in 2016 had a college degree, half did not. trump dominated among those who did not, he won almost half the total votes among -- even in a very crowded field
11:12 pm
with many alternatives. he only won about one third of the college educated republicans. now, he was able to make that work, because as i said, the two thirds of college republicans who weren't keen on trump never coalesced a single candidate. i think once again, those college educated republicans will have to be the basis for any candidate who wants to seriously challenge trump, and the question is, whether anybody can consolidate better than the group by jeb bush and marc rubio, and -- on paper, you would say one sentence is better position to do that, and also better position than any of them to cut into trump's -- by stressing some of these in cultural issues, but you have to get on the field and actually run against donald trump. >> so how likely is it that haley or pence can successfully dump their political association with trump and offer a fresh start, up against the likes of desantis who is the guy that trump really feel
11:13 pm
threatened by. >> if haley or pants inevitably, if they want to emerge as candidates, they are going to have to give a reason why the big gorilla in the room should not be the nominee. i mean, it is hard to displace someone with as much name as donald trump, particularly when you have a challenger with the scale of ron desantis, unless you make it explicit reason why voters should not do the easy thing, and you fall to him. i think so long as people like pence and haley tried to have it both ways, implying that the party should move beyond trump, but not really making an argument against him, i think they're headed for a relatively peripheral role in the race. >> all right, ron brownstein, thank you so, much always a pleasure to get you analysis. >> thank you for having me. >> the head of the u.s. environmental protection agency is expected to visit east palestine ohio in the coming hours. a train carrying hazardous
11:14 pm

11:16 pm
there's just too many chemicals that were spilled, that they still don't want to identify completely. >> an ohio department of natural resources official estimate some 3500 fish in the state have died following the train derailment. these people saw the -- where their neighborhoods still may not be safe. >> i don't recommend you put anything in the ground, vegetables, tomatoes, anything this year, because we don't know. >> i don't think they will do enough. >> some residents say they have been frustrated about what they described as a lack of communication. >> will you pass all the greeks, there's crew after crew with white house, this is black roses, all through the crease. they are not telling us, why and this is daily. i'm driving my children to school past all this, and they are asking me questions that i don't have answers to. >> we found getting information just as challenging. >> we are just trying to get a sense of what those -- >> nor folks that and continue, everything that is the hotline,
11:17 pm
they can tell you -- >> you realize people are calling this, number no one is getting back to them. >> we are just told to direct people to that number. >> the governor asked where reporters tuesday if he would feel comfortable living in east palestine. >> i think i would be drinking bottled water, and i would be continuing to find out what the tests were showing as far as the air. i would be alert, and concerned but i think i would probably be back in my house. >> but residents like kathy say, they are left with few choices. >> just pray, drink bottled water until we know for sure what is going on. >> and she is still drinking not bottled water. in terms of what happened here in east palestine high school after that town hall, still a lot of unanswered questions, some of those we spoke to still questions about testing -- how long the epa will be here on the ground doing its
