kibbutz were doing their best in the harrowing early days of the attack. he harbors no ill will. he's not angry. his focus is solely on getting his daughter back. he is grateful for the outpouring of love and support he's getting from countless people here in this country and around the love. >> ed lavandera, not the update we wanted but hopes and prayers for sure. thank you very much. wow. and "cnn this morning" continues right now. what happens on election day could say much about how voters will see key issues next year. >> abortion and guns, those are two big things, i don't believe they're going in the way that i believe in. >> i have never been this torn . this whole political atmosphere that we have right now. >> under oath, and off the rails, the judge said to trump's attorney, if you can't rein him in, i will. adding this is not a political

rally. >> prime minister netanyahu saying israel will have the security responsibility for gaza when the war is over. >> we have seen what happens when we don't have it. >> there are concerns what will happen when this war ends whether that's in a few days, weeks or months. polls are open in virginia, kentucky and ohio in a consequential off year election day. we're about to find out where voters stand ahead of 2024, abortion has been a dominant issue. >> we are watching key races for governor, a democrat is fighting for reelection in the deep red state that voted for trump. and mississippi, whether the republican incumbent is facing a tougher than expected challenge in elvis's cousin. voters will decide in abortion becomes a right in the state constitution, and virginia's state legislature up for grabs. republicans seeking full control as governor glenn youngkin

pushes to restrict abortion after 15 weeks. we heard from him moments ago at a polling site. >> we're delivering, and i think results matter. now it's time to put it in the hands of the voters to ask them to send a team to richmond that can work with me and not against me. i think we can have a fantastic two years, if we can hold the house, flip the senate. >> let's take a closer look at some o. rf the races and issues stake. a lot has happened, no question about it. this is a good home base as we look towards what is going to happen today. the state of virginia, joe biden back in 2020, winning this race by more than 10 points. it's the largest margin of victory for a democrat since 1944, and yet when you move to 2021 and the governor's race, glenn youngkin ending up upsetting terry mcauliffe. this is why this day is so important. whether or not republicans are actually able to secure not just the governor's mansion but also the state senate and the state house. that is up for grabs.

what else is a big issue here? abortion. youngkin has tried to flip the script after a number of democratic wins, abortion rights advocates across the country. he's tried to embrace the issue of a 15-week abortion ban. this will certainly be a test of that. obviously what happens in the suburbs here, which has been a strong point for democrats year after year in the state of virginia will be something everybody is watching. you want to switch over to the governor's races right now. you have two, and they're both in red states, two states that joe biden lost and lost handily in kentucky and mississippi. why are we watching these deep red states? when you look at the state of kentucky, it has a democratic governor. andy beshear has a high favorability rating for a democrat in the state, despite where joe biden's approval sits. joe cameron, a rising star in the republican party. whether beshear is able to hold on, that will be an open

question. mississippi, it's still considered a lean republican race. elvis's second cousin is involved in the race, but democrats right now saying if turnout goes their way in the afr african-american community, perhaps there's a chance of an upset. the state of ohio, it is a red state. there is no question about that, but this could be yet another example of red state after red state after red state in the wake of the dobbs decision and the supreme court, voting with abortion rights advocates. that will be on the ballot, another opportunity, key issue we'll be watching throughout the course of the day. >> let's bring in cnn political analyst, and political correspondent for the "new york times," maggie haberman. i want to start with virginia and glenn youngkin, hoping that obviously they're going to take it all, take the legislature, but really pinning so much on 15 weeks. trying to thread the needle on

the abortion topic, what are you looking for out of virginia with that. >> what i'm looking for is whether they're able to flip it at the senate level, how many seats they get and does youngkin use that not just on the 15-week ban which is obviously less restrictive than the 6-week ban in states like florida and iowa. does that fulfill the fantasy that a number of republican donors have that youngkin can become a late stage national candidate in the presidential race. that is what i'm watching there is the body language out of that. if not, youngkin is setting himself up for a pretty good position in 2028 when presumably there would not be what is the closest thing to two front runners? >> how realistic is the fantasy? in a candid, nondonor recitation of what's happening right now? >> i'm skeptical of late stage candidacies on whom, and i'm sure van has thoughts on this

too, on whom donors pin their hopes. we have seen it not work a number of times, turns out you need more than eight weeks in a presidential race to get your sea legs, and youngkin has won one race. he's term limited in virginia. he can't run again. there is a number of republicans who would like to see this happen. if you're youngkin, and wondering whether ron desantis can get traction after kim reynolds endorsed him, you don't make the calculation that diving in head first is the best choice. we'll see. >> and you're young, and you can wait. >> and you're wealthy, and you can wait. >> good point. >> it's somewhere between a fantasy and a fairy tale, it's not going to happen, but what could happen is a nightmare for women. when you have a one party gop control these days, no matter how moderate youngkin appears, once you have one party control in these states, they lurch wait

right on everything. so right now, in virginia, people will have to make a decision. they say 15 weeks, fine, on every other issue it's going to get worse and worse, more and more conservative. youngkin is a smart guy, he's not going to jump into this thing. trump is a run away train. the nightmare is for women in the state. >> what about andy beshear, very popular democratic governor in a red state. can he hang on? >> he might be able to. you got a black guy running for governor that all the black people are mad at. you've got cameron on the wrong side of every police reform issues, the wrong side of a black woman who was killed in her bed by police. never done anything about those type of issues. you have a doubly motivated african-american community, they like one candidate. >> watching walk the line on teachers has been fascinating, particularly in that state.

what is interesting about today, particularly in the wake of the last two days is there's a chance that democrats come out of this maybe even flipping a chamber in virginia, winning on abortion in ohio, holding on to a democratic governorship in a red state in kentucky, and saying this is just more evidence that despite what the top line says about joe biden, we're doing great. we're winning specials. winning in off years, we should be fine. >> that's what democrats are looking for. there's no question. the issue of abortion has had republicans on the defensive for a year, a year and a half. and the expectation is that at least in some places this is going to be yet another issue on which democrats farewell. it's a big issue in kentucky, one of the issues in which andy beshear has repeatedly talked about cameron as extreme. whether that's going to be enough for biden to reassemble his coalition next yoear i thin

is an open question. we are a year out. if you talk to everybody either around biden or in the democratic party, they will tell you that all of the polls they are dismissing is not real, actually are directionally accurate. that does not mean they are going to be accurate in 12 months. a lot can happen. abortion is going to be a big issue for democrats heading into next year. concerns about democracy and the stability of it are going to be a big issue for next year, and the question becomes what turnout is and whether motivated. >> fascinating day. m ahead, donald trump's contentious testimony in court, what did he reveal about his financial disclosures, did he help or hurt his case. a jewish man suffering a head injury, his death ruled a homicide. those details healed. ahead. aheaead.

ahead. ahahead. ahead.d. ahead. aheaead. ahead.

i think it went very well. i think you were there and you listened and you see what a scam this is. this is a case that should have never been brought. it's a case that should be

dismissed immediately. the court was the fraudster in this case. >> that was donald trump after testifying in his civil fraud case against him and his business right here in new york during about hour fours of testimony. trump clashed with the judge, arthur engoron that told lawyers to control your client. letitia james is seeking $200 million in damages and trying to bar the former president from doing business in the state of new york, something that could spell the end of his business empire. elie honig with us. a big takeaway, outside of the bluster, the big take away legally. >> let's cut through the noise. there was legal, substantiative developments. the trump organization's alleged overvaluation of the properties, the question i have is donald trump going to sign on to those or disavow them. he not only is signing on to

these. he's upping the ante. mar-a-lago, according to the ag and the judge was valued by a neutral valuer at about $20 million, give or take a few. now, the judge said it's actually worth 500 million. the ag said that, and donald trump comes in yesterday, and literally doubles down on that. he says, actually, i think it's worth between a billion and a billion five. and now donald trump is signing on to this t.. keep in mind, the judge was ruling that $500 million was a fantasy world. donald trump, true to donald trump form has not only was it what i said before, and it's more than that. his team is going to have to support that. are they going to be able to produce a valid expert to support the higher numbers. >> they can bring their experts in. >> what's the next big take away? >> the key financial documents is the statement of financial condition. last week when the trump children testified, day basically pushed the blame down,

they said not us. donald trump echoed that theme. he said yesterday because we're bringing in the bankers, very big bankers, presumably he's talking about his accountants from mazars. we'll see if on the defense case they bring in people to say we prepared these and it was valid. that's going to be important, and that leads to the sort of third big point. this was a really important moment. i think a concession by donald trump. he was pressed. he tried to dodge. but eventually he said, i would look at them, meaning the financial statements. i would look at them. i would see them, and i would maybe on occasion have some suggestions. if i'm the ag's office, i'm seizing on this quote, he saw them and reviewed them in enough depth that he had some substantiative impact. that ties donald trump to the statements. he's going to have a hard time getting away from that. >> what about what's ahead? we hear from ivanka trump tomorrow. >> court is closed today because it's election day. ivanka trump will take the stand. she's not longer a defendant.

the allegations were too old. she will be testifying. i think it's going to be much narrower, focused on specific financial transactions than donald trump's yesterday. the second thing to watch for is after ivanka trump finishes testifying, the ag is going to rest their case, meaning we're done, and then the defense, donald trump and the trump organization, they get a chance to put on their case. their lawyers have said that's going to take into december, maybe a month or more. i think we're going to hear from accountants, experts who will try to validate the numbers that donald trump offered up. that's going to be a substantial defense case, and finally at the end of it all, we will have a verdict. the judge has ruled for the ag, and against donald trump on one claim. there are six other claims, and then ultimately the judge will determine damages, the ag is seeking up to $250 million. that's the third big thing to watch for. >> elie honig, thank you. get back to you soon, phil. maggie haberman and van jones are back with us. i want to start with ivanka trump. what we saw trump do, to some degree, what we expected in the

courtroom, swaggering out with the bombastic take on things. what is the expectation for ivanka trump, tried not to have to testify, appealed, isn't technically involved in the case. do we know what she has been doing to prepare? >> i want to just disagree on one note. i didn't expect trump to take ownership of the statements the way that he did. i didn't expect him to attach himself and not distance himself the way his sons did. that was surprising to me. in terms of ivanka trump, she is going to try to get in and out with as little damage as possible. i know there has been some prep going on. she has been very reluctant to do this. the fact that she was dropped from the case but also got they are own lawyer separate from trump lawyers has been a bone of contention in trump's circle. i expect that she is going to try to do as little as possible to inflame her father but also to distance herself from any questions the ag may have. >> take a step back on what you said about the former president, why do you think he took ownership? >> i think sometimes he says

things under oath that he doesn't mean to say or that he has been coached not to say. i think that the performance that we saw in terms of him attacking letitia james, attacking the judge, describing it all in very political terms, that was all very planned. there's no question about that. and he is, to be clear. he is very very angry about this case. that is real. that i was not surprised by. but i was surprised by some of what he said that he will be used against him as damages are being assessed in this case. now, look, engoron, the judge, clearly has an opinion of trump already. i don't think there's any real question about that. has been questioning his credibility repeatedly. questioned his behavior yesterday. but this will all factor in to what happens next, and then the hope from the trump team is did engoron do things that they can argue on appeal means it should be overturned? they feel pretty good about that. we have to see how that plays out. >> that's a good question, on appeal, if he doesn't prevail, and found civilly liable, do you

think engoron and letitia james, the statements prior to the trial, tweeting yesterday calling trump a liar before his testimony, do you think those give trump's legal team room for either injunctive relief or an argument against excessive damages? >> all of this stuff will play itself out. here's the reality. most people can't follow this stuff. they just can't. what all of this adds up to for a lot of people is trump is strong as hell. because most people with 91 counts and all of this sort of stuff, they would be crumbling. i don't want a traffic ticket. and so i think what you have to understand is there's something happening in the country where someone who acts this way, who's completely disrespectful, who flunked out of kindergarten just based on his attitude is gaining altitude in this krcountry. nobody can follow this stuff.

all they can see is somebody who looks strong. you have an omni crisis, financially, geopolitically, a lot of people would rather have strong and wrong than weak and right, and that's the big picture here. >> to this point, you, i think, with jonathan swan. >> and charlie savage. >> on the idea he's shifted. the polls shifted dramatically. that series has been completely fascinating and under appreciated for what it means going forward, but the idea if he's convicted everybody is going to shift. bi biden goes down 4 or 5 down to up 8, 10, 11. >> it's a narrow slice. 6% of people said they would flip. which is enough in a couple of states to change the dynamic. we have been talking about, and van knows this as much as i do, we are talking about very close

presidential races over the last two cycles. one was settled by 80,000 votes in three states and another by 40,000 votes in three states. anything that's marginal can have a real impact. do i believe there are some people that would be troubled by seeing trump convicted and sentenced to prison. that was the question in the poll. yes, i do. do i believe people might feel different in the actuality depending on what else is happening in the world. yes, i do. i think we're in totally uncharted territory and to van's point, what people are seeing with trump, and this is part of what trump was doing with this performance, this was about the headlines. his folks felt good about yesterday, and i don't think that was bluster. if you look at basically all of the coverage, trump lashes out. trump comes out swinging. it's not trump acknowledges he had impact on the statements and that's what they're looking for politically. >> the big surprise yesterday, blue tie. everything else, totally predictable.

>> in a way that unsettled you or made you have faith about what's ahead? >> i agree. i didn't expect him to take responsibility for anything. he wore a blue tie. other than that, it's the same trump show over and over again, and the reason why, it's continuing to work for him politically. a 69-year-old man has died after a pro palestinian and pro israeli demonstrations in california. new reporting on what happened next. rising anti-semitism has many american jews fearing for their lives, and more of them are buying guns. that reporting, next. >> the reality is people don't seem to want us around. and it's hard. >> do you hear that now more than ever? >> now more than ever. it's suffocating, actually.

you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers? have we piqued your interest? you can get two unlimited lines for just $30 each a month. there are no term contracts or line activation fees. and you can bring your own device. oh, and all on the most reliable 5g mobile network nationwide. wireless that works for you. it's not just possible.

these are live pictures, its the middle of the afternoon in gaza. the israel defense forces say they have secured a hamas stronghold in northern gaza. the idf said in a statement, fighter jets working with troops

on the ground stuck a sal vo of ten te ten terrorists. >> israel for a different period will have the overall security responsibility because we've seen what happens when we don't have it. >> and he also said the enclave should be governed by those who don't want to continue the way of hamas. he also comments on the pressure coming internationally for a cease fire. >> well, there will be no cease fire, general cease fire in gaza without the release of our hostages. >> the hamas-controlled palestinian ministry of health in ramallah says more than 10,000 people have been killed in gaza since israel launched its counter attack after the hamas terror attacks a month ago. the u.n. chief has warned that gaza is, quote, becoming a graveyard for children, and last night, the u.n. security council failed to reach a consensus on a

draft resolution aimed at halting the conflict. new overnight, people in ventura county, california, holding a vigil where a 69-year-old man suffered a head injury and died during a pro palestinian and pro israel demonstration. police are investigating the death, and the medical examiner is ruling it a homicide. cnn's david culver is live in los angeles. i want to start on this story. what's the latest from police on the investigation? >> reporter: this all happened, phil, sunday, in thousand oaks just north of where we are in l.a. the 69-year-old has been identified as paul kessler. he died of an encounter at a rally where you had pro israel and pro palestine demonstrators at the same intersection. folks were gathering at the same spot. they had a candlelight vigil, they were singing in hebrew and holding israeli flags. the medical examiner labeling this cause of death blunt force head trauma.

we're not getting a lot of details beyond that. the ventura county sheriff's office investigating this, as you point out, a homicide, but here's the thing, there's no details on any arrests or any suspects at this hour. and as you can imagine, that's getting a lot of attention on social media, and so you have folks, including a local rabbi here warning there's a lot of conflicting information at this hour. given how sensitive this climate is, he's asking folks, just let authorities investigate, not to inflame the situation. phil. >> it's an important message, one we're following too. when we have the information, we'll report it. separate from that, at least at the moment, we have been documenting quite often the rise of anti-semitism in america since the war began. you have been speaking with jewish people who are starting to take action. what are you find something. >> reporter: yeah, this is really surprising. this speaks to the uneasiness that folks of all ages, all generations are feeling right now, but particularly within the jewish community. and we're noting that from gun shop owners and firearm instructors. they're seeing this surge of

interest from folks within the community who feel the need at this hour to arm themselves. >> reporter: this is not the usual l.a. hang out. >> two months i never would have thought about owning a gun. >> reporter: the 31-year-old podcaster organized this firearms training. inviting others from her southern california jewish community. including her childhood schoolmate, dani. would your friend say, dani is the type to hold a gun and go shooting. >> no, definitely not my vibe. definitely not how i was raised. >> reporter: this course as these women see it, a last resort in self-defense. >> i don't think i hit anything. . >> the reality is people don't seem to want us around, and it's hard. >> reporter: do you feel that now more than ever? >> now more than ever.

it's suffocating, actually. >> reporter: amidst the ongoing turmoil in israel and gaza, law enforcement here in the u.s. warning of increased anti-semitic incidents, targeting jewish people, homes, and businesses. >> this is a threat that is reaching in some ways, sort of historic levels. >> reporter: and gun shops along with firearm instructors around the country reporting a surge in interest, particularly from jewish groups. >> when i'm doing our messaging, it is a message of light and peace. >> reporter: rabbi yosi believes that light and peace should be safeguarded through vigilance and preparation. it's way he started a private security firm tasked with keeping the local jewish community safe. did you ever think you would end up also teaching people how to carry and fire a gun? >> it's sad that it's necessary, but it definitely is. it's really important that we start educating our community. >> reporter: we went to one of his weekday firearm classes.

>> what can i do to protect myself? >>. >> reporter: roughly two dozen jewish women here on this night. >> i can tell you as a mom and as a teacher -- >> reporter: you can sense anxiety, fear, and unease. >> we want people to live and be able to practice in peace, that's the whole goal, and so if they want to pursue, you know, the ownership training with a firearm, and that's going to help them feel at peace, then let's do that. >> reporter: california has some of the toughest gun laws in the u.s., and some phere simply do not feel comfortable around guns. >> it's not for everybody. >> reporter: back at the range. >> i cannot believe i did that. >> reporter: shauney and dani feeling more confident after their four-hour training. >> no way. >> reporter: and in case you didn't recognize their teacher that's rabbi yosi. >> those were three to four shots per second as i accelerated. >> what we did here today will

make me feel safer in the future, as long as i keep practicing. >> reporter: are you going to continue the instruction? >> i will come back, 100%. >> we need to be prepared. the best defense is a good offense, and i think that's really important to understand. >> reporter: not just in california, phil, this is also playing out in states like new york, as well as florida. it's interesting talking to those young women. they started out the course having no clue what to do with a gun. at the end, they were increasingly comfortable, waiting a year and a half to get their concealed carry. a lot of time and money invested. it shows you where anxiety and fear is. >> great piece, thank you. >> thanks. donald trump encombative on then stand. the judge told trump's lawyers to control his client. we're going to ask a retired federal judge how she would have handled it. >> i think it went very well. i think you were there and listened, and you see what a scam this is. the fraud was on behalf of the

court. the court was the e fraudster r this case.

donald trump clashed

multiple times with the judge as he testified yesterday in the civil fraud against him and his business. judge arthur engoron warning trump's lawyer to rein in his client. i beseech you to control him if you can, if you can't, i will. do you understand that. at one point trump leaned into the microphone saying this is a very unfair trial, very very, and i hope the public is watching. joining us now sheer shenland, public was not watching because there were no cameras in the courtroom, much to my frustration. to start, in terms of how the judge in this case operated knowing the spectacle it was almost certain to become, would you have done anything different? >> i think the answer is yes, but i'm not entirely sure. meaning there's a big difference between a jury trial and a non-jury trial.

on a jury trial he had to do what he did. he would have had to cut off any irrelevant and speech making answers, but in a non jury trial, he's going to be the finder of fact in the end. he's going to decide the case so it really doesn't matter how long donald trump went on because the longer he takes, the more likely he was to make admissions, to sink himself, and that's eventually what happened. so in the morning, before that break at 11:00, it seemed like the judge was engaging more than i would have. he was fighting, angry, he showed his anger, but he backed off in the afternoon and he sort of said to himself, i think, let it go the way it's going. let it go the way the lawyer questioning him seems to be happy with. the more he takes, the more he's going to make admissions, and that's exactly what happened. and in a civil trial, it just doesn't matter. it doesn't matter what this witness says because at the end of the day, it's judge engoron

who's going to decide credibility, and he's going to say that stuff wasn't credible. it wasn't important. it's irrelevant, and as you said, the public wasn't watching, and we all know who donald trump is, and the way he would handle being a witness. he's going to talk. he's going to say what he wants. you can't stop him. that's the way he is and the judge knew that. i would have taken it a little easier and not engaged. >> i was struck by one thing paula reid reported on from outside the courtroom, at one point trump's legal team said to the judge, look, there's another motion for a mistrial that we want to present, motions we want to put forward regarding the gag order, and her reporting is that the judge then encouraged them not to even file the motions. then he walked that back later. the reason i bring this up, is if you couple that with some of the statements this judge made at the beginning, do you think that that just opens the window more on appeal for trump's team? >> sure. there's always a risk that when a judge loses his or her temper.

i'm not saying the judge did that, but the judge did engage more than i would have wanted to. there's always a risk you're going to say something in the record, one line that they will quote on appeal that can really get you in trouble. you didn't mean to say it. we're all human. >> can i read you the line? >> sure. >> quote, i am not here to hear what he, trump, has to say, but there's a second part of that sentence. we are here to hear him answer questions and most of the time, he's not. >> the answer is of course we are here to hear what he has to say and the more he said, the more he sunk himself and made some really important admissions, but it's a bad statement to say we're not here to hear what he has to say, but of course you're present to hear what a witness has to say. that wasn't a great line, but things come out. we all do it, as we're talking now, i'll look back and say there are four words i shouldn't have said. it's natural. i understand the pressure the judge was under. i don't know if you want to turn

to the fact the public wasn't able to watch. >> i do, very much so. i think we're unified on this. it's a huge problem, particularly when there are so many different cases, and issues, and it's difficult for a normal human being with a life and kids and a job to sit there and differentiate between federal charges, a civil case, who's testifying, when are they testifying, and now they can't see anything, they read what he says in a press conference after wards. >> the problem with cameras in a courtroom with a witness like donald trump, he will play to the camera, and he'll turn it more into a chance to have a rally, a campaign speech. he'll use that time. he used it anyway. i'm not sure in a civil non jury trial we needed that camera. i'm sort of glad we didn't have it. he would have gone more off the rails and not answered the questions. i have a different view on the criminal trials. i wish the public could see the

process. that's a jury trial and the judge is going to have to rein him, and he's going to have to answer the questions. i would be much tougher in a jury trial. >> and media organizations, including cnn have been fighting for access. >> the judge has not allowed cameras in the courtroom yet. >> it's frustrating, happy to have you on our side. we appreciate you as always. thank you very much. more democrats are worried about president biden's reelection chances especially after polling has him trailing donald trump in key states, including michigan, debbie d dingngell, shareres those conce. that's comoming up nexext.

you want to be able to provide your child with the tools or resources they need. with reliable internet at home, through the internet essentials program, the world opened up. fellas, fellas. that's how my son was able to find the hidden genius project. we wanted to give y'all the necessary skills to compete with the future. kevin's now part of this next generation of young people who feel they can thrive. ♪ ♪ the whole country wants to move on, and i think that it would be the right thing to do for the president to not run for him to focus on what's going on

in the middle east, focus on what's going on in ukraine. he's doing a good job. focus on the inequality, focus on the inflation, but spend the next 14 months focusing on that and let new candidates emerge in the democratic party. >> that was tim ryan, the former ohio congressman and 2020 presidential candidate, one of a growing number of candidates expressing concern about president biden's reelection chances in 2024. it's a concern that has intensified since a recent ”the new york times” poll found president biden trailing donald trump in several key states in a potential match up. joining us now, debbie dingell from michigan. i appreciate your time. i vividly remember a conversation we had in the fall of 2016 where you were raising major alarms about what was about to happen in your state. do you feel the same way now?

>> so i'm going to be very candid. i have been saying for months that michigan is a purple state. everybody wants to look at -- and my dear friend, governor gretchen whitmer, and the democrats that are up and down the ticket say it's a blue state. it's not, and we like to flip. i have run many campaigns there, but i have been saying this for months. the good news is that people like you and the biden campaign are taking me seriously. they're listening. i know what we have to do to win. we've got to do a better job of talking about what we have gotten done during this first term, what's been delivered to the people of michigan. get into those union halls and talk to the guys and do a comparison of what happened when donald trump was president before and what's happened now as joe biden has been president. and we have to put the resources in, we have to do it, and ask me in six months where i

think we are. we are a purple state. we have to take it seriously. >> do i think the outcome from the uaw negotiations, the strikes and then the agreements, tentative agreements that were reached will have a tangible effect on president biden's numbers? >> i want to say more about that later as i start to go into union halls. i was in them this weekend. i will be in them next weekend. think that joe biden is coming and walking the picket line, paying attention to what happened in negotiations, the workers still have to ratify these contracts. but i think that is giving him incr credibility with many work erck. although we have to get in the union halls. >> it's easy to say things when you are no longer a member of congress, to some interest degree, but the current president connects the clear legislative record he has to the people of your state, to the people in the union halls?

>> well, joe biden in a union hall, there is nobody better. i think too many of my democratic colleagues have, you know, need to get back in them and talk to working men and women every day, which you know i try to do every weekend -- >> that's the disconnect for me. there is no president, sitting president, cared more, spent m more time when it comes to the labor movement and union workers and shops than joe biden, yet if you look at the numbers, there seems to be some problems there. >> look, i am not going to lie to you tfrmt i said to everybody nicks months ago, there is a problem. there is going to be a uaw strike. i will also tell you need to get in the halls. you know where my gut comes from where i tell you where we are, because before the pandemic and i am back to where i was, i go in union halls every single

weekend. i talk to the men and women doing those everyday jobs that keep us going. he knows how to talk to him. at times he department in a bubble. but i think that the people around him are understanding that they need to get him -- look, i think it's great he goes to delaware and pennsylvania. i want to see him get into more of the midwest states. when you see joe biden, when you talk to joe biden, you really do know who he is. >> why do you think that, being kept in a bubble, why do you think that is? >> we are coming out of a pandemic. there have been a lot of -- now we have got a major, major world crises that are going to be one of the issues in michigan. i'm not going to lie about that either. we have intense feelings on all sides. it's hard to be the president of the united states because you have to worry about security.

i think his people need to get out into the field more and be talking about these issues. but we have to do a better job. i want to tell you something else. i met with my slate legislators. they love to take credit for the money we brought into the states. i said to tem, you have a tricky election next year. if joe biden doesn't run well, you are not going to run well. to start giving him credit for what he has done. you know that? they are sending me the clips. they are talking about it. we all have to a better job of talking about what has gotten done because of joe biden's leadership. >> congresswoman debbie dingell, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. at its peak, we work was valued at $47 billion. now it'sfy filing for bankruptc and election day in america. what voters are deciding when 202023 and whahat it couldld me 2024. stay with h us. new this morg
