kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. vice president kamala harris, still riding high this week as former president donald trump continues to struggle with how to run against her someone who suggests we should terminate the constitution of the united states again donald trump confronted with new polling over the weekend that shows just how different the race is with harris at the top of the ticket in the new york times sienna poll out saturday, big moves in the so-called blue wall states, pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan harris up four points, 50 to 46 with likely voters in each state that is just within the margin of error. axios yesterday writing this quote, trump, who

looked and felt like a clear frontrunner heading into last month's republican convention has fumed, stewed and stumbled in private and public ever since, advisers are telling him harris we'll grow her lead coming out of the democratic convention, which begins a week from today. tomorrow. today, especially if they don't define her better faster, joining me now to discuss nick johnson, he's axios publisher and maga talev, senior contributor at axios. welcome to both of you for being here this was a weekend of some a6. it seems for former president donald trump, there was that front-page sunday times story from jonathan swan and maggie haberman? the ticked through a number of things that he has done, reportedly called use the b word to describe harris multiple times. we should note that trump campaign denies that also, apparently angering a critical donor, sending text messages that indicated that he's a little bit he's unhappy

about the state of things. nic what does this say to you this was what he said. i think i was right. he told rattle donors friday night, that's about what he did where he questioned kamala harris is black identity at the national nabj conference with black journalists he's clearly struggling to figure out how to do this. >> this was like a 2000 to 2018 vintage swan haberman like there's a leaking is back again. we're getting people from inside the room very, very close insidery rooms, very detailed things happening. the surrounding former president trump, i think it is very much a rattle like we talked about this week after week after week, the big mode that kamala harris and her campaign has had its translated into fundraising numbers. it's translated into giant rally crowds is translating into poll after poll after poll. this is not something present. a former president trump had seen before. latest poll this morning shows kamala harris beating him on the economy of the strongest one against president biden. and so of course, now this is a campaign that has to figure out how to

get its footing again please, attacks going to work. what are they going to get a piece of good news. they thought they had something with the tim walz pick. now as you say, we're leading into the convention that's going to be another loved fest for kamala harris had the president react to this. i was just looking at his truth social account overnight. he's fake ai crowds were commonly harris and he was taken credit for getting the olympics to la he never coach, but i think the campaign is clearly trying to find its footing. >> yeah. well, and you're talking about this. it's actually it's on the front of the financial times this morning, harris leads trump on economy and pull. that marks sharp sentiment shift. i mean, that margaret has honestly been my big question is what was going to happen economically when the market took a dive in the last week or so. that's the kind of unpredictable thing that might shake kamala harris's momentum this seems like if, if there's as much as trump is clearly focused on what the times is writing and all of these reports. i mean, he he was also posting on truth social about the fake news and low self-esteem leakers, which seems to me a clear, clearly

focused on on that story this economic stuff is fundamental but if that holds, he really will have to go back to the drawing board for a new playbook one of those interesting aspects of the new york times sienna poll over the weekend showed that it was not only nationally in the polling, but in that blue state wall that she was beginning to overtake donald trump, but it wasn't just in those overall numbers. it was on numbers like trust so there's sort of a trust wave and susie asm wave and we begin to see her try to redefine the way she's viewed on the border, which is the other big vulnerability for her as a quasi-incumbent coming into this role. but the border or the economy are going to be the two issues. and if she is able to neutralize some of the criticism on the border front and even potentially flip views

on the economy. then she really does have a powerful dynamic, not just going into the convention, but because the democrats convention is so late this year, they come out of the convention and guess what? early vote is starting. and that's normally you'd be looking at the calendar saying, well, it's august, you know, let's see how things are in mid-october, like a lot of the voting has happened by good luck has run out sometime, but we his close election that you've come out of the convention labor day and just coast the rest of the way i mean sure. >> i i am i am not willing yet to say that something couldn't have in october to change this race extremely fundamental timber or september, you know, considering what we've already seen but it does the the realities do feel like they are in some ways starting to set in and tony fabrizio the pollster, was also, you know, it's been reported believes that there's

going to be a polling bumped from the convention. >> he thinks it may settle down after that, or at least that's what he's saying privately. but there are others who seem to think that this may be on a total glide path. >> i mean, there's a couple more moments we're waiting for in hour, waiting for kamala harris more time with the press. he's promised for a sit down interview. she's been a very ghazi sort of campaign. let's get more policy proposals coming out right? don't steal my life, but yet, we still have been made because i'm i remember remember the last thing that moved the race immensely, and so i think there's still some inflection moments to come. but for now, the momentum is still going on her face. >> all right. nic johnston, margaret talev. thanks for kicking us off. knew we got some new digs here. it's great to have you. >> thanks. >> appreciate. >> all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning, a dangerous escalation in ukraine as president zelenskyy accuses russia of starting a fire at a nuclear power plant slot a deadly explosion in maryland leaves a house completely leveled and donald trump

has been no detected spike in radiation levels ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy blaming russian forces for starting the fire and for the first time he's acknowledging ukraine's one week long offensive into the kursk region of russia jeep only from the beginning of this summer and only from the kursk region of sumy region suffered almost 2000 strikes. artillery, mortars, drones. we also monitor every missile strike in and each such strikes deserves a fair response. >> russia's military conceding ukraine has been able to push more than 20 miles into russian territory. cnn's clare sebastian has the latest from london for us this morning. clare, good morning. let's start with the fire i at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant mean, what do we know about possible radiation threat? how this started look in terms of radiation threat, there is no concern at this point the international atomic energy agency has its own of as at the nuclear power plants

that version. >> you could put out power plant, which is the largest in europe. and they say they've verified the russian claim that there is no elevation and elevated radiation risk at this point. that's because they say the fire was in one of the cooling towers and right now, they are not really needed because all of the reactors, all six our in a states of shut shutdown. now as to how the fire started, will obviously we have conflicting reports here. the russian side is blaming ukraine

>> nuclear plant. >> indeed, there is an briefly at claire, this incursion into russia from the ukrainians and how, how off guard was putin caught? >> i mean. pretty, off god it seems right now today, it's somewhat awkwardly. he's made some prepared remarks to a forum of military equipment in moscow. this is an annual event talking about there's a real-world know know-how of russian equipment while at the same time clearly having failed to defend the southern border today, we're seeing evacuation students in two regions, cool, just square this incursion started a week ago, and bulgur it to the south. so it seems according to the patchwork of reports that we're getting out of the area that ukraine is still making headway fierce fighting, still going on. i think the question for russia is will it a mass forces bring

them in, try to, try to kick you? it out. will it continue to prioritize the eastern front in ukraine? is it having to make those calculations at this point because clearly they haven't been able to push them out as of yet all right. claire sebastian forces money cleric very grateful to have you. thank you so much are it straight ahead here on cnn this morning for me, full-throated in doors meant to a live interview. >> how elon musk is preparing to conduct a sit-down with donald trump tonight plus mcdonald's and france talking about a menu change after steph curry cooked france and be olympics anderson cooper, 360 weeknight today on cnn ga the advanced form of dry

campaign events over the weekend. trump posting on truth social, he says he raised $28 million during a two-day swing through wyoming, montana, and colorado kamala harris was also out west her campaign announcing a san francisco fundraiser that harris was set to speak at, brought in $12 they said this is the day before the event. harris also traveled to the swing state of nevada. she is expected to roll out an economic platform in the coming weeks. >> she shared her support for this policy during a las vegas rally over the weekend when i am president, we will continue our fight for working families including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality worker so that might sound familiar. certainly republicans want to remind you that it might hear was donald

trump almost a month ago? well, at the republican national convention got the center of our plan for economic relief are massive tax cuts for workers that include something else that stood out to be very popular. it's called no tax on tips trump. >> now accusing harris of stealing his idea, joining me now, washington correspondent for the san francisco chronicle, share a stein and political reporter for notice, rescore welcome to both of you. thank you so much for being here at shira on these numbers in the kamala harris fundraising mean this is kind of one of the impacts of president biden dropping out of the race, particularly how tech money seems to be opening back up to harris in a way that it wasn't quite there for biden. what do you know about this shift? >> i think a big part of this is largely attributable fact that she's a california person. they know her as attorney general, they know how she's going to prosecute or not prosecute tech companies.

and so they feel maybe a little bit more open. i've seen some hope from tech people and folks in silicon valley that maybe she will be a little bit more tech friendly than president biden has been. so i think we'll expect to see a lot more of those folks wanting to come out for her. yeah. so big picture reese gorman we got this new polling from the new york times over the weekend that showed her widening lead in some of these battleground states still with us the margin of error, but she's above, she's at 50% one of the things that also stood out to me is that she seems to be closing the gap on the economy. >> in particular voters still saying donald trump, 52% of voters saying he would handle the economy better. kamala harris at 46%, but that's a stronger position then president biden had against donald trump. and there's also a new poll in the ft, the chose harris leading trump on the economy and a sharp sentence sentiment shift is how they write it. this is all clearly

getting under donald trump's skin you know, he had quite a weekend. he was posting things on truth social yesterday hey, alluding to and talking about the news media and leakers and all of the various other things that are swirling here. what are you focusing on as we head into this week before the convention? >> yeah, definitely looking at just how trump is dealing with his whole thing, this is kind of why his campaign and him especially were so upset that biden dropped out of the race there really, they felt like that a good game. planning gets biden. they felt like they were beating him, they were winning. there were showing all the polls. they were doing. it was looking really good for them. and then with harris, it's showing that voters are on the economy front. voters aren't necessarily blaming curve for biden's economy. and they were joe biden, which shows those narrowing gaps right now. and that's one reason why there are just really upset and trump is kind of spiraling on truth social right now with these kind of out-of-pocket just rats. and i think the good thing for him is that they don't necessarily have as big reach if they did on twitter. but there's still just there

and people reported such myself and others are reporting on them. right. so there are definitely getting out there for sure we saw j.d. vance over the weekend. he's continuing to try to contrast with the harris campaign, sat down with a number. i believe three sunday show hosts in part trying to of course, defend the remarks that he's made, but also to highlight the fact that he is sitting down with reporters first, this has become a line of attack against the harris walz ticket here was how vance and answered the question about kamala harris's racial identity. and of course, the trump comments that to the nabj questioning her black identity, watch i believe that kamala harris is whatever she says she is, but i believe importantly that president trump is right, that she's a chameleon. she pretends to be one thing in front of what

audience she pretends to be something different in front of another audience. look, dana, she's not running a political campaign. she's running a movie. she only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter. everything is scripted so shira, this is one of the ways they're trying to talk about kamala harris as a chameleon, the new york post picked up, picked up on that this morning. >> it says comma chameleon seems that's how murdoch would have them attack, attack her with the reality is the messaging has not been consistent on this out of the trump campaign, there really struggling to find it that attack line on her. i really thought they were going to stick with her being a san francisco liberal feel like that's something that plays really well to their base and to moderates there are folders, but they've sort of gone back and forth on different narratives i mean, on the chameleon thing, isn't every politician a little bit of a chameleon jd vance's chains positions as well. i think we've seen that from president biden over his long career so it's it's odd criticism of

her when we see that from all politicians. >> well, i mean, look, there are some, you know, certainly the flip-flopping label has sunk. some people, those who have tried to push back against, that will argue, hey, we've, we've learned from our mistakes. we've evolved but reese, one of the other things that of course has been out there is this, these questions about tim walz and his military service that republicans have tried to kind of hammer on. they over the weekend, the harris team said he misspoke. this was vance talking a little bit, but with our dana bash about walz's military record, let's watch of course, dana. >> i honor his service and i've never criticized what tim walz did when he was in the military. i criticized his retirement decision. and most importantly, dana, i criticized his lying about his own record. okay. >> this is a guy who was captured on video saying, i carried a gun and war. >> he never went to war. this

is a guy who has been captured on video as other people say, he's an afghanistan veteran, he's a veteran of a war, nodding along in agreement instead of saying no, no, no, i did serve my country. i did it honorably, but i never for went to a warzone. i'm not criticizing tim walz's service i'm criticizing the fact that he lied about his service for political gain every is what was your read on how he answered that question? i think he was answering it in a way that kind of that the campaign wants it to, the campaign wants him out of there being attacked dog mean fans himself was deployed and i think that they view him as kind of the perfect kind of attack dog on this issue for walz. and again, apart, a lot of this evan's going on the sunday shows doing all these interviews is a kind of kind of like goad them out into the public and to talk the press. i mean, a lot of what walz has done. i mean him answering said they must focus through spoke for the campaign harris has changed positions through spokespeople on campaigns. and so this is why you're seeing vance do all these interviews is try and get

them out and try to talk to them publicly and go on to be interviewed and kind of answer these questions that voters have. >> alright, rescore man. sure. sign. thank you both very much for being here this morning. i appreciate it. >> all right. in the middle east, an attack on israel by iran could be just days away. that's the latest intelligence assessment from the israelis according to axios president biden concerned any attack would further jeopardize hopes for peace in gaza. is a ceasefire possible before the end of your scope possible? >> the plan i put together endorsed by the g7, endorsed by the un security council center, is still viable. and i'm working literally every single day to and my whole team to see to it that it doesn't escalate into a regional war. but it easily can hamas showing little interest in returning to the negotiating table. >> they want meteor mediators to compel israel to accept a

july 2 proposal that president biden and the un security council support the former us defense secretary william cohen telling cnn, biden needs to make his position a little bit more clear. we're what we are not. i think eager to do is have our men and women come under attack when there was an opportunity for a peaceful resolution or a path to peace. and our allies fail to take that, putting our lives on the line are men and women in uniform on the line when there was a path to he's so i'm hoping that the israelis understand that we are with them, but we are not going to be with them to the extent when they have a an element in their government, who say, we don't want any peace overnight, hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets toward northern northern israel. >> no one was injured israel also facing international outrage after the idf struck a

school and a mosque housing displaced people in gaza, killing at least 90 palestinians. let's bring in cnn global affairs analyst kim dozier. i kim, good morning. always good to see you so if we do actually get this attack from iran, what does that look like? and what's your read on? how this has played out? because we have been waiting for it now for some time. >> we have we saw another statement coming out this morning from britain, germany, and france saying to iran, do not attack right now, do not up. and the potential of ceasefire talks on thursday and we're even seeing hamas now sort of modifying its position ahead of potential thursday talks say, well, you can't bring any new things to the table. it's got all be just the modalities of the july 2 agreement. so we're seeing some softening and calls to iran don't do this now, but you're also seeing the pentagon rush more assets to

the region that would be crucial in knocking missiles out of the sky iran also put out some sort of strange no-fly notice saying that it might be carrying out exercises in the next three or four days. the picture that we get is they could be preparing for another multiple missile attack on israel, possibly together in coordination with hezbollah, which could overwhelm israeli air defenses and yet they could also be posturing to put the pressure on israel to make some compromises. at the end of the week when negotiators meet. >> you mentioned that additional assets cnn is reporting that the defense department is sending a submarine to the middle east. >> austin ordered the submarine into the waters of the middle east. the pentagon said the moon movement of us missile submarines rarely revealed publicly. and the nuclear-powered vessels operate in near complete secrecy. it's described as a clear message of deterrence to iran and its proxies will go the u.s. and israel believe are preparing

for a potential large scale attack. how do you understand this move and the fact that we learned about it, that the fact that they announced it is a clear message. we're bringing all of these resources to bear. so if you launch another 300, some odd missiles and drones like you did last april, it's going to be another humiliating defeat in that will knock most of them out of the sky and they won't. reach their targets in israel. do you want to do that again? and that's the message the pentagon is sending to iran. >> all right. kim dozier for us this morning. kim, thank you so grateful to have you. thank you. >> all right. still ahead here on cnn this morning, donald trump and elon musk sitting down for a one-on-one do you is a very different kind of guy we will dive into the political alliance between these two men plus the olympics are in the books was some good news for team usa what the effects of

>> so i have no mosques rise as a trump backer comes as x has turned into a haven for the spread of misinformation since buying the site almost two years ago, musk's site has struggled to control it on topics ranging from the election to the assassination attempt against trump. sometimes that information has been boosted by musk himself, who posted a conspiracy regarding the attack on paul pelosi in october of 2020 before deleting it, joining me now to discuss is sara fischer. she is cnn senior media analyst and senior media reporter for axios sara. good morning. how are you so look, these two have not necessarily gotten along in the past. >> here was trump at a rally in alaska in 2022 criticizing him. let's watch ilan ilan is not going to buy twitter when did you hear that before from me

from. >> a fake account. she says, lot of he's got himself a mess. you know, he said the other day, oh, i've never voted for a republican. i said i didn't know that he told me you voted for so he's another this but he's not going to be not gonna be buying it although he might later who the hell knows what's going to happen. he's got a pretty rotten contract. i looked at his god not a good contract so obviously things have evolved since then. >> what happened all for one at that point in time? >> and trump is trying to build his own social platform, truth social, right? so he didn't like the idea that some billionaire was going to come in buy up twitter potentially be competitive to what he was building. but then also elon musk has made a full one at i mean, he, you know, back in the day he came to america as a citizen, 2010 to was really voting for democrats, supported their policies over the past two years. that's really shifted. and now it's gone just full right after donald trump's assassination attempt actually endorsing the president, which a huge step, because you'll recall he endorsed his formal rival, ron

desantis just a few months before so i think this is a shift on how donald trump is thinking, but trump is actually following musk because musk has shifted towards his camp. trump's now inviting him. >> so what, what's going on with the money? because there was also this point where musk pledged like he was like $45 billion a month. between now and then and then he's sort of backed away from that in the wake of those switch at the top of the democratic ticket, what is the actual plan? >> yes. so it was reported that elon musk was going to be investing 45 million a month to the trump campaign what we know is happening is that elon musk along with some other tech billionaire investors have created a pac political action committee that supports trump, but he doesn't necessarily confirm the report states putin 45 million in if i had to guess, cassie, i think a lot of it is semantics. he's probably putting money into the pac, which isn't going the campaign itself, which is why he's able to say that those reports are incorrect, but that's my assumption here what do you expect out of this conversation that we're going to see tonight on twitter well, for one, i think it's going to be a very

lighthearted conversation because elon musk has come out and endorsed donald trump. i expect this to be a bromance type of an interview where they're supporting each other. i think that elon musk will let donald trump speak all of the falsehoods and misinformation that he wants. i mean, he's not a journalist, it's not his job necessarily. does he want to be fact checking all the information? so i think it's just a platform for donald trump to come out say whatever he wants. but the thing to remember kessie is the interview audience here is what donald trump needs. you see j.d. vance going on face the nation right? sunday shows traditional media because he needs gets his name out there. >> and donald trump's going the opposite route, right? >> he's talking to dreamers and podcasters. he's going on x. he wants to rally up that sort of fringe online base. that's what donald trump is doing here tonight. >> well, he's meanwhile threatening to sue establishment media like the new york times, et cetera. sara fischer for us this morning, sara, thank you. i appreciate all right. >> time now for sports, the paris olympics may be over, but the controversy over the gymnastics floor exercise

wrongs metal remains. andy scholes joins us more now with this morning's bleacher report, andy, good morning. >> and i wanted usa gymnastics says they are they're going to appeal the decision to strip gymnast jordan chiles of her bronze medal so give you a little background. child's originally placed fifth in the floor exercise last week before team usa challenge the result, arguing, one of the elements of her routine was not properly scored. that challenge was successful. they gave chiles an extra 0.1, which moved her ahead, or romania's ana barbosu into third. but then on saturday, the court of arbitration for sport ruled that the usa's challenge came four seconds after the one-minute deadline, and therefore, does not count. usa gymnastics though says that it has new video evidence showing that the inquiry was submitted before that one-minute deadline was up, and they have requested to reinstate chiles score and allow her to keep that bronze medal we'll just have to wait

and see how this controversy plays itself out. now, the us women's basketball team, meanwhile, they get gold again, but it was not easy against host france, the u.s. is down ten in the third, but a row i like to take the lead by 21 points from asia wilson. then france was down three in the final seconds of this game. gabby williams shot banks in but her foot was on the line. us winds 607066 to capture a record eighth straight gold. it's, they're 60 straight week when at the olympics we've all taken time away from our teams to do something really, really hard. and the fact that this is eight straight golds it's insane, honestly. but each one is so, so different and so, so special and so hard and team usa's basketball gold, they're sealed a tie with china, a top the gold medal standing because with 40 a piece is the first time in summer olympics history that

the gold medal count finished in a tie, but the americans certainly ran away with the total medal count or without 126 is the most since the 2016 rio games, where the final tally was 121. >> for team usa, china finish well behind in second overall with 91 host nation france. they finished with 64 total medals. that was their best summer olympics performance is they first hosted the games back in 1,900 right? now these summer games is going to move to los angeles where 2028 and tom cruise, while he helped deliver the olympic flag jumped into the state adm. has only tom cruise can diddy took the plaque from simone biles, hopped on a motorcycle and then the broadcast got to a pre-recorded video of crews combining the olympic rings and the hollywood sign, which certainly looks pretty cool. let's see if they did that, doing that in four years there, kasie, but i tell you what it's always kind of a sad day, right when the summer olympics is over you out, it was a fun two weeks he's watching all the competition. what was your

favorite? >> yeah. no. i mean, look, simone biles is just like the story of a lifetime, right? >> it was amazing to get to watch her. my my son is about to turn five and i think watching it with him, he was so into it for the first time and i can't wait until next time. it's great. it's going to be here in the u.s. and i have to say i enjoyed the tom cruise to parachute into the stadium and the chili peppers that concert. yeah. yeah shows up. yeah, it's snoop dogg that what that caused her was pretty fico that they had and i'm sure a lot los angeles is going to be great when it gets here. >> it's going to be amazing all right, andy. thank you. hope to see you. >> all right. coming up next in our next hour on cnn this morning there through the most important states in the 2024 election, who refer to him as the blue wall new polling shows the harris campaign taking a crucial week plus celine dion calling out donald trump for this moment at a recent rally. she's not the first performing artist so do not buy generic
