church! ♪ ♪ ♪ >> thanks for being with us. florida governor ron desantis will launch his long expected to run for the white house later today in an unconventional way. he will make the announcement during a live chat with twitter owned elon musk on the size of your platform twitter spaces. despite some recent stumbles, desantis has long been viewed as the most serious rival to the twice impeached donald trump in the battle for the republican nomination. trump and his allies have already spent $13 million in recent weeks attacking desantis on the airwaves and they are now planning a coordinated effort to up and his campaign. cnn's jessica dean has a closer look. >> news coming on tuesday that makes it official, something that has been talked about for months and months, florida governor ron desantis will announce that he is running for

the republican nomination for president in the 2024 race. what is unique about his announcement we are told by his political team is that he will be sitting down to do so with the owner of twitter, elon musk. you will be doing that on wednesday night, and that certainly not typical and not typically how someone would announced their candidacy but it goes with what we have been told about what this likely campaign will look like, what does it won't be typical, it won't be traditional. they want to push the envelope and do things in a unique and different ways, and the certainly fits the bill in that situation. we also know that desantis will be gathering his biggest voters and bundlers here in miami on thursday to really amp up that fundraising game and make sure that they turn in big numbers right out of the gate. he's got that all them to raise as much money i they possibly can to give him big numbers right out of the gate. also on tuesday night, we saw this video from the florida first lady casey desantis who was re-tweeted by her husband,

essentially a hype video, and then at the end it has a code for people to text to the word launch. so again, all these pieces coming together for something that we know has been in the works for months now that has been talked about so much, but now florida governor ron desantis officially getting in the 2024 race and it will start to see how that shapes up with those republican raw rivals chiefly among them, president donald trump, and the sitting president joe biden. jessica dean, cnn, miami, florida. >> donald trump's criminal trial for allegedly falsifying business records will start on march 25th of next year. right in the middle a presidential primary season. trump appeared by video link in a new york courtroom tuesday for a hearing on what he can and can't say publicly about the case. the former president has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts. the case revolves around

payments to adult film star stormy daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affairs. trump's legal team is requesting a meeting with the u.s. attorney general merrick garland to discuss what they call the ongoing injustice being perpetrated by the special counsel. cnn has reported that jack smith is close to wrapping up his investigation into trump's handling of classified documents and possible obstruction. he's also looking of the presidents role in the january 6th capitol insurrection. joining me now from los angeles is ronna brown saying, he's a senior political analyst for cnn and a senior editor for the atlantic. appreciate you being with us! >> hi rosemary! >> so for governor ron desantis will announce his candidacy for president wednesday evening, live on twitter, in a conversation with elon musk. and we are now hearing that donald trump and his allies plan to disrupt its in some way.

how do you expect all of this to play out, and criticize end up having surprising everyone even trump? >> well i think they choice to do it with elon musk is actually very revealing of the fundamental tension and the rhonda santa's campaign that will apparently began in earnest, tomorrow. on the one hand, he's basically tried to present himself to voters in the republican primary as offering trump-ism without trump. i will fight all of the same total war battles as donald trump, but i don't have all the baggage arsenal trump, and therefore i am more electable and potentially better position to actually deliver the policies that he says he's going to give you. to the extent that the saudis will extinguish himself from trump and its but to run to his right, to really turn up the volume on all of these cultural war fights, everything from his battle with disney, the don't say gay legislation, to the abortion ban, and appearing with moscow as we advance into substantially as a right wing

cultural warrior for his ownership of twitter, is an extension of that. the problem is, fundamental contradiction of the desantis campaign, is that his best case against trump is that he's more electable. to the extent that he keeps trying to squeeze to trump's right, he's generating more concern even within the republican coalition among donors, and strategist about whether he would have any more appeal to the white collar suburban voters who have turned away from the gop and the trump era, than trump himself. i think appealing and appearing with musk really i think underscores the fundamental tension and even contradiction at the heart of this campaign. >> meantime, donald trump's illegal troubles are getting worse with a new york trial date now set during the 2024 primary season. how problematic could all of this proved to be for the former president? how might desantis try to benefit from trump's legal woes, do you think? >> this is going to be the mother of all split screen,

rosemary. they are talking about a true trial in march, of 2024, which historically is the make or break month in the presidential primaries. march is usually a critical in determining how this plays out. of course this is not an all likelihood the last legal jeopardy that trump will face between now and then, between the special prosecutor investigations plural, and all the signs that to georgia is trying to move forward perhaps in august. i think trump's legal trouble so far republicans have been a very low to address them, and have inspired a kind of circle of a wagon effect on the among gop voters. ultimately, republican, donald trump as we said before, he set a large figure in the party, you are not going to dislodge him and less you get republican voters a good reason to move the on him and the best ways and they've got all people running against him is that he has so much baggage that he's

unlikely to win a general election. sooner or later you have to think the republican running against trouble gotta turn to these legal troubles to make that case, and the fact that the trials are going to be going on during the primaries themselves certainly gives them the ammunition to do so if they can develop the courage, the nerve to challenge him in that manner. >> and ron, while all of this bubbles along, the country facing one of its most biggest challenges, finding a way to avert a default on its national debt. only eight days left to reach a deal and get it through or get that legislation through congress. how is that going to happen when the two sides are still so far apart? >> yeah, i mean in some ways the states that are being negotiated are so wildly disproportionately small next to the risk of default itself. the republicans have set up a budget negotiation in which defense spending is off the table, designed really to be

praised, taxes are off the table, and the big entitlement programs for seniors and that the primary drivers of the federal deficit are off the table, part because 65% of their votes now comes from white voters over 45. on your left is with this small sliver of a federal budget, domestic just aries funding, it's only about once every six or $7 at the federal government spends. you can squeeze it as much as you want, and you are still not going to fundamentally change the trajectory of the deficit, and then need to show that they are standing up to biden's aim telling them to bring the country and even the world economy to the brink of crisis, over changes that will matter. i mean these could be significant cuts in programs that matter to people, but will not affect the problem that they said they are concerned about. and you've got to think that sooner or later, voices in the republican party and particularly the donor class who recognize the incongruity

of what we are going through here. and i think if we put pressure on mccarthy to find a deal, one thing that we keep in mind is that especially with trump openly opposing the idea of any deal, they are gonna be republicans who votes against whatever is agreed to, which means that mccarthy's continued democratic votes unless he really wants to go through with the fault. if he needs democratic votes, that is another side to be on the fact that biden has a sign of pushing them toward some kind of reasonable compromise. a deal is there, i think if mccarthy can say us. >> that's what they can do that because a lot of people are very worried. ron brownstein, many thanks. >> thank you. >> we are learning more about the man accused of crashing a truck into security barriers near the white house on monday. 19 year old cy cumbola was arrested and charged in federal court with deprivation of property of excess of $1,000.

cordach immense revealed that he threatened to quote kill the presidents while appraising at off hitler after's arrest. the suspect told police he had been planning the attack for six months. he's being held without bail and has not entered a plea yet, is set to appear in court in the coming hours. it has been one year since the mass shooting at an elementary school in uvalde texas where a gunman killed and 19 children and two teachers. u.s. president joe biden will mark the somber day in the coming hours with remarks from the white house. he will remember the victims and reiterate his call for republican lawmakers to take action to stop gun violence. meanwhile, texas will hold a moment of silence and lower state flag to half staff in honor of the victims. a facials in russia's border region of belgorod say a

counterterrorism operation is over following a where ground attack by as he putin russian fighters. despite reports of new fighting tuesday, the regional governor says they were no new incursions but that a car was damaged by an explosive device dropped from a drone. russia's defense ministry is now claiming to have killed dozens of the anti-putin fighters and pushing the remainder back into ukrainian territory. cnn's fred plantain has more. details the russian military allegedly fighting back the defense ministry showing video of what it says are strikes against fighters who allegedly crossed the border from ukraine. [speaking non-english] >> translator: the remaining nationalists were thrown out of the territory of ukraine where they were shelled until they were fully liquidated. [speaking non-english] >> the fighters are anti-putin russians, calling themselves,

the russian volunteer corps and the freedom for russia a legion. still, the kremlin says it holds ukraine responsible for the incursion. but, in exclusive interview with cnn, ukraine's national security adviser brushed off those claims. >> translator: there is a part of russians who are on the side of light and went to deal with the darkness that exist in russia now. what are the questions to us, i don't understand at all? >> russia claims to ukraine ordered the raid to distract from the situation in bakhmut, where moscow now claims its forces control all of the city that has essentially been reduced to rubble as these aerial views show. >> the national security adviser insists ukraine forces still hold part of the town, and that the decision to stand and fight, despite overwhelming numbers of russians were right. >> translator: it was our strategic defense operation which was successful for us given that we held a territory for ten months, where we were

destroying them every day. >> forcing the russians into a battle of attrition, here, allowed ukraine to prepare for a massive counteroffensive he says could begin anytime. >> translator: we are clearly aware of when where how and what should start. the final decision is up to the president and the security staff when the decision is made russia will definitely feel it. >> greetings from bakhmut, graffiti from one of the videos of the cross border raid into russia reads, the kremlin are already using the incident to try and justify vladimir putin 's war in ukraine. putin, himself portraying moscow as the victim. >> translator: we are often told that russia has started some kind of war--no. russia with the special military operation is trying to stop this war being waged against us. >> but clearly not all russians agree. the groups who say they're behind the cross border attacks are vowing to battle on

defending ukraine. fred pleitgen, cnn, kyiv. >> and now an exclusive report, cnn has learned from multiple defense officials that a senior u.s. general ordered his command to announce on twitter that an al-qaeda leader had been targeted and an american drone strike, but without confirming who was actually killed. cnn pentagon correspondent oren lieberman has the story. >> so john strike on may 3rd in northwest syria targeted a senior al-qaeda leader according to u.s. central command which governs u.s. operations in the middle east and in that region. said calm, as it's known, promised more information as the operation details of that truck had been confirmed, but now here we are nearly three years late weeks later, and it has not put out any information of who the target of the strike was or who was killed in the strike. officials tell us they would knew it would take a few days to confirm who wataga was killed in the strike because at

least partially there are no u.s. troops in northwest syria who can quickly investigate so it was a process that will take time. but multiple officials tell cnn that even so, even an hours after the strike, general eric corolla, commander of u.s. central command order that tweet out saying that the u.s. had targeted senior al-qaeda leader in northwest syria. still, as we wait on more information from centcom as who was targeted or who was killed, cnn has spoken to the family of the casualty who say he was a 56-year-old farmer with ten children and had no affiliation with al-qaeda. centcom has opened up what's known as a car, a civilian casualty credibility assessment report, to see if in their conclusion a civilian was killed in a strike and officials tell us there is still some believe that a member of al-qaeda may have been killed here without was not as high as when the strike was taken when officials say there was high confidence they were a member of al-qaeda. part of the issue here on may

3rd, officials tell us on may 5th what centcom had present every night adjusting that as heavily had been killed here and then the civilian assessment from the military happened a week after that. depending on the conclusion of that assessment it might new as a 15 six, a more formal investigation into the process by the strike. this whole process as it played out is almost suddenly similar to the strike in kabul that the u.s. took into closing days of the afghanistan withdrawal. a strike that killed ten civilians including several children, at first the u.s. military and the pentagon defended that strike saying it had killed a member of isis-k who oppose an imminent threat. but after several media outlets and including cnn found issues with that narrative and spoke to family members of the casualties there, the u.s. was forced to walk that back and acknowledge that it was so below that were killed there. in the wake of that strike, defense secretary lloyd austin ordered a review of civilian armed pro recall in the process

there and there were more processes that work put in place. brigadier path right, or spokesman, said that -- positive were still following and said that the centcom center is still are. but what is the assessment of centcom and will there be calls for accountability for does in fact turn out that centcom own love that a villain was killed in his made their strike? oren liebermann, cnn, at the pentagon. >> artificial intelligence is reaching into more aspects about everyday life. now it could provide a medical breakthrough. coming up, we are so cnn how the technology could help those without the abilities to speak. we will explain. after advil. back to work. what about your neck? it's good to go. before advil.

originally have done on the easterly side. so these numbers will likely flip. now there will be a little bit last thankfully because we are down into low tide, but that high tide will start to rise up here in the upcoming hours as we inch closer to landfall. we've already lost some data anderson airports space, windows and out even being reported and they've also lost radar data. we're starting to see some of the heaviest rain offshore get closer here within the upcoming hours a get that torrential downpour and rainfall, will likely push in here in the upcoming hours with that system inching closer. rosemary, we'll paint into that with the flash flooding concerns and some of these areas could pick up seven inches per hour in the eyewall. >> appreciate you keeping a very close eye on that too. britley ritz, many thanks. still to come, no details from police on why they have a return to a reservoir in portugal to search for clues in the disappearance of madeleine mccain. ♪ ♪ ♪
