health to the amateurs. choose doctors preferred erin burnett outfront weeknights at seven on cnn here in the cnn newsroom. >> i'm jessica dean in new york. it is a big week ahead for the future of the country the first time americans will see vice president kamala harris facing off against former president donald trump during tuesday nights presidential debate in philadelphia unlike the last three debates, president biden won't be there instead, heat the white house says he's going to we watched the debate from home, like the rest of america. the president now facing his last few months in office hoping to accomplish a slew of policy priorities including gun safety legislation just lesion. this week, congress returning to capitol hill on the heels of yet another deadly school shooting. this one in georgia, where 14-year-old student gunned down and killed two of his classmates and two teachers president biden, releasing a statement calling on congress to get to work and ban assault
3:02 pm
weapons once and for all that's what he said. this let's talk more about this with white house principal deputy communications director herpes, this skin, or be good afternoon to you. thanks so much for being here with us today. >> thanks for having me, jess, let's start first with president biden's legacy. he's looking now at the last four months left in the white house, the end of what has been a multi-decade career in public service. what does he see is the best use of his remaining time in political capital? >> he sees the best use of his remaining time as doing the work and leaving it all on the field this president as vice president, took office with an economy on its back with a pandemic raging. we adjust live through an insurrection and they got to work. they pass legislation that spurred record job creation. 16 million jobs, record numbers of small businesses, private sector capital, not public but private sector capital fueling a jobs boom and manual factoring boom, a construction boom we're
3:03 pm
seeing inflation down, border encounters, down crime down. so a lot has gotten done. but for the president, for the vice president for this white house, it's about doing the work over the next four months, doing the work to rebuild the middle class you need to take action to lower prices. doing the work to implement these pieces of legislation, they're 60,000 projects that are up and running as a result of bills that this president has signed into law but there's more to do to implement, more to do to get shovels in the ground there's more to do to restore alliances and strengthen our partnerships around the world. and so there's a lot of time for legacy historians will focus on that, but our focus right now is on the work ahead. >> and you mentioned the infrastructure bill. i think that's a great example of something where there are a lot of projects going on, but a lot of americans don't really understand or have not felt the impact of that yet, how much of this comes down? to getting the message out to them and how much pressure do you all feel to get the message out to
3:04 pm
americans who may not quite feel the impacts of some of these projects yet well, people are starting to feel at jazz. people are starting to see the lead pipes removed and replaced in their communities. they're starting to see that kids in their community don't need to go to a mcdonald's parking lot to get on the internet. they can get high speed, affordable internet at home seniors are seeing prescription drugs cap at $2,000 a year. they're seeing insulin capped at $35 a month these things are starting to take effect and we're seeing some of the big, the biggest, most ambitious infrastructure projects in generations that are getting to to take hold. the brent spence bridge connecting kentucky and ohio is going to get renovated and rebuilt as a result of the president's infrastructure law, the hudson tunnel project in new york. there's a whole host of projects that are coming online. sure. there's messaging to talk about it, but people are increasingly across this country, seeing these projects take hold and our work is to continue to implement and make sure that the fruits of these pieces of legislation, the recovery act, the infrastructure law, the chips
3:05 pm
and science act, or inflation reduction act, that the fruits of those pieces of legislation are start to be our start being felt in every community across the country and there's certainly this strategy that you all have come up with. >> there's also a mindset, what the mindset is going to be as you used this last bit of time, as he uses this last bit of time to make his we've had felt i'm curious that now that he's not that he's not running for reelection, is there a certain amount of freedom that he's feeling how is he, and if so, is he trying to use that to him? he's advantage in a way the focus really is just getting out there. >> we came back from the summer and last week, the president traveled with the vice president to pittsburgh. the president went to wisconsin and unveiled the largest investment in rural electrification since then new deal. he was in michigan last week. this week he is hitting the road again. he's also meeting with the uk prime minister. it's really about the focus. there's a lot that we can do over the next four months to bring down prices a lot, we can do over the next four months to secure
3:06 pm
a ceasefire and hostage deal in the middle east, there's work on our partnerships in europe and in the indo-pacific. so the president's focus, the white house has focus is doing everything we can on behalf of the country to leave everything. as i said, just on the field. >> and i know that he's also planning a fair amount of trash. i know you mentioned the trips he's already done. there's a lot of planning. it sounds like for a fair amount of travel going into the fall as well, once the strategy there and you mentioned trying to land this ceasefire and hostage deal and i know that remains a big priority pretty for the president and for the administration. are there any plans for him at this moment to travel to that region? what would kind of travel are you all looking at i don't have traveled to announce from here, but the president's going to be in cities and towns all over the country. >> as i mentioned, he went to several last week he'll be out on the road this week and then again in the weeks to come he'll certainly be engaging on foreign policy. he's in recent weeks talk to the leaders of israel, of ukraine, of egypt, of qatar, of other countries.
3:07 pm
and he'll certainly do travel internationally as well. i don't want to get ahead of the president and me take any announcements. but there's a lot of work to do on the domestic front, a lot on the national security front and that remains a focus here and there's a lot, even as you're talking about, there's a lot of agenda items here that he wants to get done clearly but a limited amount of time how do you think through the prioritization of those different buckets and those different items well, look, there's a lot that we can do as we implement these pieces of legislation, the provisions that lower prescription drug costs that are taking effect increase recently including on january 1st to make sure that we get those into effect. there's more to do on price gouging. corporations are continuing to make money off of consumers in ways that that frankly are not fair. this administration has acted on that will continue to do so. there's more on health care. the president this week will announce steps around mental health and supporting people's investments in there insurance covering their mental health services. so there's a whole
3:08 pm
host of issues on the domestic front and certainly on the international front as well. and so we can walk and chew gum at the same time and do a lot here over the next it's four months to leave it all out and get as much as we can done by january 20 and how critical when the story is told. >> in the four years season office. how critical do you think these closing months we'll be in that story? >> critical. we want them to be consequential. we want to get as much done as we can and look, if you look at the full ark of president biden's career, his four years as president, which we would argue had been more consequential in one term than president's often get done in two terms. work as a senator for 36 years, his work as vice president for eight years, the ark of his career and his life in public service is one of honor, integrity, and he's gotten a lot done on behalf of the american people. the historians will have time to analyze it and two assess the impact of his legacy. but for us, for him, the focus is on the work right now. >> and i know before you were in the white house, you also worked for vice president kamala harris and her office.
3:09 pm
she's now of course, in the spotlight from that fan at vantage point, what can you say anything about how you learned? but how she prepares for big moments the way she thinks about things well, the vice president is a career prosecutor. >> she was the top law enforcement official in the state of california. she is the district attorney of san francisco. she looks at the evidence. she looks at the facts and she made make sure that any given policy any issue is it going to is it going to affect positively the people it's supposed to affect? i saw the vice president prepare for meetings with entrepreneurs, with business leaders to make sure that we got access to capital to entrepreneurs grow their enterprises, coming out of the pandemic saw her prepare for meetings with president zelenskyy days before the russian invasion of ukraine with other leaders in europe to prepare for that, she's always focused on how does a policy, how does an issue affect the american people, affect our national interests? and i think you'll see that on display this week as well. >> all right. her visa skin. thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. we really appreciate it. >> thank you jess and we are

>> now, this is more like it. the same goes for my foot worth. why went hands-free with white fits, get your slippers just step in and go without bending down or touching my shoes. wipe it hands-free sketches slip ends. >> rahel solomon in new york is cnn tonight, a wildfire burning out of control east of los angeles. the line fire more than doubling in size overnight protein evacuations and threatening thousands of homes bombs firefighters battling the flames in triple-digit temperatures. meteorologist elisa rafah is standing by with more on the extreme weather. cnn's camila bernal is live in san bernardino. camila. let's start first with you and tell us more about what's happening behind you. >> hey, just so we just came upon some of the hotspots that we essentially followed these firefighters into. and i want to show you some of the conditions that you're seeing in this area. one of the problems is the terrain. it is
3:16 pm
very steep, so you have firefighters that are basically walking downhill. you even see how they're slipping in that terrain is why officials saying that it has not there has not been a fire here for a long time and that creates more of a fire and it is a lot quicker. i also want to show you over on this side. >> i am thinking coming my photo journalist reward to come the closer to me so that he can see some of the flames down there. so the other problem that you're having here is the thunderstorms we are expecting thunderstorms in the area. so we have heard some of the thunder. there is lightning. yes, there could be some rain and that could be helpful for firefighters excuse me. it's just very smoky in this area. >> but the the lightning can also start new fires and they're also telling me that the wind in those storms are so unpredictable but it can move those flames in areas where firefighters do not even know
3:17 pm
where to go or where to position their crews. >> so again, they're just working around the clock. there's about 600 or so firefighters and personnel in this area, but they're asking for more help. that's what officials on the ground here say they need more help because this fire is still 0% contained, despite all of their efforts since thursday, it's been at 0% containment and now about 17 thousand acres burned. so you're seeing the work that they're doing around the clock. it is not easy and because it's so hot and because of these conditions, i was told that it's physically difficult for a lot of the firefighters, so they need that rest time as well. there's a bout 5,000 or so people that have been told to evacuate, either warning he's or mandatory orders but this is exactly what they're dealing with. these flames that are hard to control at times and so again, you're seeing a lot for the hotspots and you're seeing as you drive around this national forest thousands and thousands of acres already burned just right coming over and all, you all stay safe
3:18 pm
there. thank you so much. let's bring it meteorologist elisa raffa now, who's in our weather center, and we mentioned that the firefighters is elisa was talking about a battling these extreme temperatures to and now potentially, they could have storms to deal with as well. >> yeah. we're finding those thunderstorms fire up on the radar there actually some flash flood warnings in effect for parts of san bernardino county because they could get one to two inches of rain in an hour. seems like it would be a good thing. but remember these grounds have burn-scars on them so that rain could cause some flash flooding problems. also, there are lots of lightning strikes here as well as camila was mentioning, that's a concern when it comes to additional fires that could start and you can see where we've got even some severe thunderstorm warnings in effect for some of these sounds that could even drop some large hail and damaging winds. the damaging winds again, could make that fire behavior more erratic. we're also dealing with the heat. we have excessive heat warnings in effect for a lot of the l.a. play area and some of those points east where we have some of these concerns about the fires were temperatures have
3:19 pm
been well into the triple digits way above average for this time of year red flag concerns as well because of the fire again, near los angeles where that humidity has dropped to five to 15% and winds are gusting up to 40 miles per hour. and that's not on top of the wins that getting from those severe thunderstorms does. so that's what's made things pretty difficult here. you've got more than 17,000 acres that i've burned here at that wildfire where camila was winder again with 0% contained because of these fire weather conditions, jessica and at least in the last hour, we also got some new details about a tropical disturbance the gulf of mexico. what are you learning about that yeah, it's been a pretty busy here. >> we now have potential tropical cyclone six. and what that means is we think are where we know it's going to be a tropical depression or tropical storm in the coming days. and we need to start issuing advisories and watches here. so right now, here's this center. it's very disorganized, sitting about five hundred and 75 miles south of port arthur, texas. it's got 50 a mile per hour winds but
3:20 pm
the centre's just a little bit disorganized. we are expecting it to gain strength because look at all of these water temperatures here in the gulf of mexico. some low 90s up, middle and upper at so incredibly warm ocean temperatures that will fuel this in two parts. possibly a hurricane right now, the watches are only in effect for the gulf coast of mexico. we are expecting tropical storm watches to be issued along the coast of texas, maybe even as far east as louisiana. because if you look at the track, we are looking at a hurricane landfall possible somewhere on the texas louisiana coastline, possibly late tuesday into wednesday say so some of them we need to watch incredibly closely. now, we had a recent hurricane landfall in texas where barrel earlier in the season that came through the houston area. we've had a couple of other named storms ida beita in this area as well. but when it comes to two hurricanes in one season for the texas coast, it's all you have to go back to 2008 where we had dali and i can make landfall. again. we'll have to
3:21 pm
watch see maybe of texas gets this one-two punch already so far this season, we could find these tropical storm-force conditions starting already late tuesday. you could see maybe some of those outer bands coming in on the coastline. and then as we go into wednesday, we're watching to see if we can get it to be a hurricane and where it can make landfall. now, regardless of whether it's a tropical storm or hurricane or what have you we do have a concern for some flash flooding already have some slight risk. level two out of four for heavy rain along the texas and louisiana coastlines through tuesday and wednesday. because you are ready fearing about rainfall totals this area that could be four to eight inches, maybe even up to 12. and some isolated cases now where this heavy rain is will really heavily depend on that track. so expect updates in the coming days. jessica. >> all right. elisa rafah for us in the weather center. thanks so much. silicon. what we've learned about the deadly attack along the border between the west bank in jordan that left three israeli guards dead. we'll tell you more on the other side, you are in the cnn newsroom want the effective i

crossings and says they will not reopen until tomorrow morning. cnn's matthew chance has more now from tel aviv well, jessica, tonight to all the land crossings from jordan into israel and the west bank remained closed as israeli security forces continue to secure so the area where a jordanian gunman fired on israeli workers killing three of them before being shot dead jordanian officials say their preliminary investigation suggest the attacker was a truck driver carrying commercial goods from jordan to the west bank, who they believe he was acting alone understand and at italy though there's been condemnation in israel, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu calling the attack a despicable terrorist who murdered his race please, in cold blood in a statement, mass praised the attack, but stopped short of claiming responsibility for it, saying instead it was a natural reasons spawns to the war in

gaza, israel remember, is already reeling after the killings by hamas last week, have six more israeli hostages held in gaza? >> tens of thousands of demonstrators staging angry protests across the country in recent days, demanding an immediate deal to bring more than 100 israeli he's still held in gaza back home. this latest attack across the normally calm border from jordan is raising tensions even can further jessica back to you. >> now, the chance. thank you very much from tel aviv. let's bring in aaron david miller, a former middle east negotiator with the state department, and a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. aaron, great to see you this afternoon. thanks so much for being here with us. i first just want to get your thoughts on this violence along that border with jordan it's the first violence along that particular border since this war on hamas began on october 7. what, what do you make of it?
3:29 pm
>> thanks for having me, jessica. these really jordanian borders, arguably the longest and least defensible in israel's borders relations between the hashemite kingdom and the netanyahu government had been cool and chilly to say the least but there's very intermittent intensive security cooperation between jordanian intelligence and there shouldn't bet. and mossad. >> and the idf so that border is generally quiet. >> or three critical crossing points in the north. the allenby crossing point, and then near aka been a lot is the third one. it's generally extremely quiet, but occasionally i think the last incident was in 2016 other incidents clearly gaza has affected the jordanian population. the majority of which are palestinian greatly germain's are gearing up for parliamentary elections this month. least the first phase of them jordanians appeared to
3:30 pm
believe in these israelis confirmed that this is a lone gunman, although it's industry note palestine, islamic jihad, a small palestinian terror organization which is all a wholly owned subsidiary of iran came out to praise the operation and the iranians have been trying to funnel weapons specifically ieds, over the jordanian border to palestinian groups in the west bank. so i guess in a way it's studying this was the first incident since october 7 hopefully there won't be many more and the allenby bridge crossing mostly serves this like 3 million palestinians how might this might this closure impact them? >> well, i mean that's, i guess one of the ironies here right in maine presumably this individual undertook something in defense of the palestinian cause, delay, enclosure that border blocks a key route for
3:31 pm
the distribution and delivery of jordanian assistance and commercial goods to the west bank the alami bazoum was also being used as a as a point to deliver humanitarian assistance to russia to gaza and west bank is pretty sealed up israelis have essentially not permitted palestinian workers they're withholding transfers monetary payments situate economic situation on the west bank is grim and the longer this border crossing remains close, only to add to what u.s. economic woes and as you and i are talking for months now, the u.s. has been leading a coalition to try to get these his ceasefire and hostage talks to an actual deal and closing a deal. it was interesting that we heard from the cia director bill burns over the weekend and his assessment of getting a deal
3:32 pm
done was essentially he said it comes down to political will in leadership on both sides. and both sides being willing to recognize enough is enough essentially went on to say time to make tough decisions. >> do you agree with that assessment absolutely i'll go with former u.s. ambassador to jordan and knows the region extremely well and there's no question. you and i have been talking for months now about the absence of urgency in negotiations, particularly sensitive negotiations like these clothes, it's almost always because the party's believed that the advantages of doing a deal away, that disadvantages of not concluding and frankly, the two principal decision-makers here yeah. >> yeah, sinwar and the benjamin netanyahu. for months now, i have not seen kind of urgency that is required. to deal with some of these sensitive issues. i'm absolutely persuaded that every issue under negotiation could be tractable, could be resolved. as bill, cia director
3:33 pm
burns said if they were political will on the part of sinwar and hitting out when there's not as leaves administration frankly with very bad options. i mean, rescue operations with immersion special o.p.s are fraught as these israelis discovered with this discovering the body of the bodies of the six, some over the last four or five days opening a separate channel to hamas to negotiate for the return of american hostages, i could see how that could play wildly for hamas is public relations advantage, but i don't think the administration would want to be put in that position. >> so it really does leave so heavily a negotiation as the only way, not just degree. >> austin as we've seen in november 105 last year were at least to begin to deescalate the war, at least for a phase one with a 66 weeks, i don't think the administration hasn't been could just give up
3:34 pm
take their proposals and go home i suspect they'll continue to try, but the headlines are bad here. jessica and the trend lines look even worse to me. >> all right, aaron david miller always good to get your thoughts. thank you very much thank you, jessica ahead. >> new reporting from both inside from inside both the harris and trump campaigns about the last-minute preparations patients each candidate is taking as they get ready for tuesday's consequential debate. >> just two days away and we are following breaking news out of kentucky where police have been searching the woods as for the suspect in last night's highway shooting, you're in the cnn newsroom the ups store. >> these more than just the shipment store. >> with a package, shipment, guarantee it store. >> we know running a small business takes a lot of grit and hustle where the stress less store and bill weir you've got your back store because when you trust us to pack and ship, week guarantee, it'll get

3:39 pm
harris will face off against former president donald trump in their first may be their only debate on tuesday. >> we're going to see they will also do so at a potentially pivotal point in a very tight race, the latest cnn poll, a poll showing no clear leader in the race making this debate an opportunity for both candidates jasmine wright is a political reporterer for notice she joins us now, jasmine, good to have you. thanks for being here. >> thanks so much for having me. >> i know you've covered the vice president for a very long time. what start first with her to walk us through what you've learned about how she's preparing for this debate. and also just having covered her now for a while, what you know about her personality in terms of moments since like this yeah, just the wool the vice president is pulled up in pittsburgh at a hotel with her team, really going through the debate prep motions. >> we know it's an intensive sessions. the point of getting her there is that just to get her acclimated with being in pennsylvania, obviously, we've
3:40 pm
seen her over the course of the days talking with folks outside the hotel making sure that they see their face, but also to have that real focus inside those debate prep moment, something that her team knows about the vice president is that she's a rusty debater. it will be almost four years to the month since she debated vice president pence in 2020. obviously, that's been a quite some time donald trump, we know, just didn't debate last june. also, they know that fixates on details at times sometimes tries to overprepare. and so they want to get her to a motion where she's sitting down, going through these mock debate sessions, not able to fix it and policies really tried to go through and prepare her not just to talk about a future forward policy, to talk about things when she's potentially on the defense, but also to take in confrontation. it's been a long time. one person told me since the vice president has gotten disrespected to her face as they expect that the former president might do. and so that is something that they're really focused on getting hurt in the mode to take incoming, but also give it right back and
3:41 pm
potentially dispel has lied is there any other types of things, but something about the vice president that i think is important for folks to know is that she actually i won't say enjoys confrontation, but she's a former prosecutor. she has been in moments where she's had to move quickly on her feet or something has happened in the courtroom and she's had to readjust her strategy so that her people who are preparing her in pennsylvania now are hoping thank to see some of that agility. it on the debate stage on tuesday in pennsylvania and so what are you learning than about trump and how his circle of advisers is approaching this debate. >> they are doing, their, their approaches are quite different yeah, i mean, i think it's actually night and day when you think about how intensively the vice president preps for moments like this. we know hershey is somebody who does her homework in the way that donald trump does. his advisers don't like to say that it's a policy i mean, excuse me, don't like to say is debate prepping its going over policy they asked him questions, he
3:42 pm
responds, but it's much less formal than i think what we're what is happening right now at that pittsburgh hotel with the vice president, something we know that's happening is that trump is surrounded by people he trusts including tulsi gabbard, somebody who the vice president sparred with in 2019 was actually probably the only person to 2019 that was really able to land a blow on her during those democratic primary debates. so that's obviously go to something that's happening with the former president, but also at the same time, they're probably trying out one liners the same as the vice president trying things that they believe will stick to her as they tried to make it seem on a number a number of accounts that one she is somebody who is tying tie to president biden and also that she wants somebody that's flip-flopping on her policies from 20 2019 to now, and also there's someone that she just really not to be trusted and potentially a communists as trump has said multiple times, that's how they want to frame her, and that's i believe some of the prep or policy debates
3:43 pm
that they're doing right now and so much of this look, trump is very defined. >> americans either like him or don't like him, but they know who he is. she remains pretty issue remains undefined for 28% of people. so they want to know more about her that was in the new york times polling and so there has been this race on both sides to define her before the other side can this debate obviously is an opportunity to do more of that. do they have a plan around that or they aware of that? is that something they are taking into consideration? >> yeah just because they're absolutely aware of this and this is why it is so high-stakes for the vice president. i think we've heard over the course of day pundits and folks like saying that the onus is on trump here, and that may be true, but it is a high-stakes moment for the vice president because of that 28% of voters from the new york times poll, who doesn't know what she would do in office, who doesn't know her? for very much at all. this is a time for her not just approved that she can be presidential in the face of potential confrontation from the former president, but prove that she can outline an an
3:44 pm
offensive manner who she is and what she wants to do and what motivates her or her policies. so yes part of the training is about preparing her for that confrontation, but it's also about preparing her to be able to talk about her policies and who she is and connect her experience as to what she wants to do an office. and it really offensive way on the debate stage, that connects with people because they recognize that this is probably one of the last times, if not the last time that she could have an audience of tens of millions of people watching, even if primarily because there's no audience inside of the debate arena to talking to the camera yeah. >> all right. jasmine wright, always great to see you. thanks so much. nestle and the eastern edge of ruby red, nebraska, it's a single congressional district that could make or break the 2024 presidential election. cnn's jeff zeleny explains why the omaha area could decide the race for the war white house these blue dots are popping up on lawns across omaha signs of a campaign we're
3:45 pm
not only every vote counts, but we're every electoral vote is critical. be debated back-and-forth, and we went forward and said, well, i think the mystery, is kinda cool. >> and it turned out to be a huge win, starting conversations saclay, we had no idea that conversation. >> and then that's the important part because as soon as you start the conversation, you have a full conversation. ruth huebner-brown and her husband, jason, are suddenly having more conversations about the blue dot symbolizing a democratic island in a sea of nebraska red. and the state's unique way of dividing electoral votes with plausible that we could have a tie and i'll whole notion of my vote doesn't matter. it's really tossed out the window because this could be it. this could be the deciding factor for all of the pathways for kamala harris and donald trump to reach the white house the race for 270 electoral votes could come down to nebraska's sprawling second district. and here's why if harris carries the three blue wall battleground states and
3:46 pm
trump wins the swing states across the sun belt. a single electoral votes surrounding omaha could keep the race from becoming a 269 to 69 tie, decided by the house of representatives. >> well, how low nebraska and not so secret weapon for democrats could be tim walz, who was born and raised here before moving two states away. >> he to minnesota tony vargas believes the harris-walz ticket will also help democrats win control of congress. starting with his race here, which is among the country's most competitive. >> we have suburban, we have ru all different walks of life. you know, all different races, ethnicity, socioeconomics, thank you but really this is a truly independent place. >> republican congressman don bacon has thrived and survived politically because of that independent streak of the district trump won here in 2016, but lost in 2020. bacon said trump runs the risk of losing again if he doesn't focus on inflation and immigration what do you talk
3:47 pm
about dei, race make coming up with nicknames. that doesn't play well in this district. they want start with the issues this is an issue district for on trump and his allies have sought to change. nebraska's election law and award all electoral votes to the statewide winner rather than by congressional district. a process shared lee by maine, get better, get me on the hod you understand that for now, republicans are working to defeat harris here in a district that extends through omaha's western suburbs herbs to rural towns like wahoo, where stephen and sonja peetz are ready for change. i would like just to see no, some hope. >> i don't see it now. >> which of those candidates do you think gets the closest to bring any hope i would say trump? absolutely trump. i have kylian that he is a person who sticks to his word. he means what he says. >> they question what harris stands for and are not sold on walz no matter where he grew
3:48 pm
up. back in the dundee neighborhood of omaha, the blue dots are in such high demand. jason brown ran out of spray paint orders are stacking up. he said and not only from democrats, but from independents who may decide the election doesn't mean, oh my god, i've become my democrat. >> no, you're voting for what you feel is right for the future. so nine weeks before the election for all the talk of the blue wall states of pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin, that is not enough to win the white house without the blue dot here in omaha. that is because the electoral votes are divided here by congressional district, only nebraska and maine have this process republicans and some tried to change it. democrats embrace it, but the bottom line here is the harris campaign and the trump campaign have all their eyes on nebraska for that one electoral vote. if this race is close it certainly could matter jeff zeleny cnn, omaha jeff, thank you. >> taylor fritz was hoping to
