by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today. time.com and get paid. when you say anderson cooper 360 weeknights at 8:00 on cnn you're in the cnn newsroom. i'm jessica dean in new york and we are now just 48 hours away from the first presidential debate between vice president kamala harris and former president donald
4:01 pm
trump it will be the first time the two candidates meet face-to-face as they hope to move the needle with any undecided voters out there. and it will be crucial as new polling underscoring just how tight this race continues to be with the new york times and siena college poll showing no clear leader new cnn poll, a poll showing harris at 49 to trump's 47%. again, no clear leader there. the two candidates spent the weekend in battleground states harris meeting with voters it's in pittsburgh while she also prepared for the debate. while trump took time to hold a campaign rally in wisconsin. let's check in now with cnn's eva mckend, who is in pittsburgh. and eva, i know you've been following along with the vice president's campaign as they prepare for this debate, what are you learning about her mentality, her strategy going into this debate with just we did get a brief glimpse of her today. she went for a quick walk with the first gentleman, her husband here in pittsburgh. and that was just a little respite from
4:02 pm
these intense debate camp that has been underway for four days. she's lost largely been indoors as safe for today, briefly and then yesterday at that spice shop where she greeted some supporters. what we think that this looks flying is poring over briefing books anticipating what the moderators may ask anticipating what the former president might say, and then also coming up with sharpness vance's to some of the policies where she has changed positions on some of the evolution on key policy matters what i know that they're not concerned about jets are these polls we have seen basically the former president and the vice president in a dead heat in many of these polls. but they're not concerned with that and brian fallon, a spokesperson for the campaign, tweeting today that they have always viewed themselves as the underdog and they are going to continue to act as such in the crucial weeks ahead and that they have a lot of work to do in the next 50 or so days.
4:03 pm
>> there already have a strategy for post-debate. >> they are going to have a battleground blitz where the vice president is going to campaign in north carolina, in, in pennsylvania, governor walz is going to do a midwestern swing in michigan and wisconsin. and their respective spouses are going to be out on the campaign trail as well. so every battleground state will have some campaign presence. and then the former president, he is going to have three fundraisers this week in california. and utah. this contest really heating up here. the vice president we'll continues to hunker down here in pittsburgh preparing for tuesday. >> jack eva mckend in pennsylvania. thanks so much for that and i want to bring in our political panel cnn political commentator and republican strategist, shermichael singleton, along is also with us, is democratic strategist and consultant for the dnc and former white house director of message planning, meghan hays. good to see both of you. >> i hope you're having a good sunday. we have some things,
4:04 pm
new things to chew on here. meghan, we walked through some of the new polling that's out today. hey, and it's again, really underlining how deadlocked trump and harris are in a lot of these battleground states and certainly in national polling, most democrats that i talked to are pretty clear-eyed about how tight this races certainly her campaign wants the positioning of she's the underdog. but what is your sense about how democrats are absorbing all of this polling well, jeff, as you know, i worked for joe biden and we can't live and die by the polls or we never would have made it out of iowa if we would have believed all the polls. >> so i am one of those people who do not want to look at the polls and look at them more of a guideline, not where will we actually are the only poll that matters is the one in november. but i do think that what she needs to do is they need to keep their head down and continue to work. i think she's still introducing herself to the american people. i think there was data saying that a lot of people don't know her and a lot of people want to know more about her policies. and so i think that she needs to spend the next 50 plus days doing that. i think the debate
4:05 pm
in a minute keeping opportunity to lay some of her policies out and to get more for who she is across to folks. but i think that hitting the ground just like they're doing after the debate. and barnstorming all the battleground states is exactly what they need to do. they need to keep their head down and focus on the organizing and continue to build off the momentum they're getting and keep going out and meeting voters and shermichael, the trump campaign, he was back in wisconsin this weekend certainly they're trying the reporting indicates to focus on those battleground states pretty obvious stuff there. >> but how do you think when you're talking with the campaign how are they? seeing this moment in time? and what's their takeaway at this moment in the race yeah, it's a great question, jessica, i mean, look, there of seen a stronger, more organized, more functional campaign on the operational side than ever before. >> you look at some of the data that just came out in that new york times sienna poll and donald trump is polling are performing better with republicans than not only 2016,
4:06 pm
but 2020. and that says a whole lot, you're looking at his numbers with hispanic voters, with black men. i mean, the guy has increased his margins technically all over the place, despite a whole litany of things that he's gone through over the past year-and-a-half now despite the enthusiasm that vice president harris certainly brings to the democratic party b, she's revived democratic voters who certainly were not sure if president biden could guarantee another victory for their party they do believe the vice president is capable. she's at 28, 30 plus days of incredible news coverage. and despite all of those very, very favorable in positive changes for democrats because of the vice president. the race is still so tight and donald trump is performing a whole lot better than any other time when he ran in the past and so that suggests to me that the momentum that we have seen with the vice president is starting to slow down. it's starting to even out and this race is going
4:07 pm
to, i believe jessica returned back to the fundamental issues the economy and immigration and shermichael the new york times poll, i did ask voters about project 2025, 55% of them said they'd heard about it another poll showed 62% of those registered voters oppose it. it's, it's rare for something like that to cut through and for voters to really be aware of it in such big numbers and in this case oppose it what do you think about how the trump campaign has handled this? obviously was filled with a bunch of people that worked in his administration. he's claimed to not know anything about it, even though he does know a lot of people affiliated with it. but what do you think? what do you think the trump campaign should do to address that well, let's look at a couple of things. >> first of all, it was completely idiotic for the heritage foundation to release that and the middle of what will be a darn close election. i don't know any political strategists who thought that was a brilliant yeah. number.
4:08 pm
two, i got to give a lot of credit to my democratic friends, meghan, the vice president, they have done a good job of constantly reminding the american people about project 2025 now to donald trump's credit, he's attempted to step away from shore. he said, i know people who are working on it, but those aren't my ideas. they decided to work the heritage foundation. some people will believe that some people won't believe it. instead of trying to go for tat with democrats on that issue, jessica, the former president, needs to constantly pivot back to those consequential issues. because again, i believe that is what is ultimately going to be the deciding factor in this election. not necessarily project 2025, but it does add so literally get democrats riled up and excited about voting for harris was certainly helps to vice president i mean, yeah, i mean, meghan shermichael has a point when democrats say project 2025, they've figured out that that is, that is cutting through yeah, absolutely. i mean, it was a huge moment at the convention. they expend a lot of time focusing on those very
4:09 pm
large books made that were used on the platform during speeches and prime time. it is cutting through and i think that the policies are actually cutting through because the policies are very extreme. and i think it makes independent voters nerve. i think getting rid the department of education is an extreme policies he that most women who live in the suburbs who have children do not want to see happen. so i think the more democrats are out there reminding folks of what project 2025 is and continuing to tie it to donald trump is a victory for the vice president and a victory for her campaign and shermichael, i want to ask you about something that trump posted on truth social a few hours after his campaign? >> pain in wisconsin he accused, accusing democrats of cheating in the election. and essentially threatening to jail his adversaries with quote, long prison sentences. and then he goes on to say, please be aware of this legal exposure extends to lawyers, political operatives, donors, and legal voters corrupt election officials i just this, just what what do you say to this i say this is not what you do
4:10 pm
when you want to win an election. >> this election is close obviously, there are some things that the american people despite what they may dislike about donald trump. all of our data, including our data from cnn and jessica is saying they still think he's strong on the economy. they still think he's a stronger option to tackle immigration, even though they may think vice president harris is a woman maybe they're excited and recognize historic moment, but they said, you know what? yes, history matters. she's a great person, but we just don't think she's quite the best person to tackle these issues. so if you have all of those variables, at least the two variables, the economy, immigration, maybe foreign pause if you want to throw in the third to your benefit you don't do that. >> it just it just doesn't make sense and i would imagine the advisers on the campaign are trying to the former president to stick to the issues because that is ultimately what is going to win, not this. >> all right, so we look to the debate on tuesday. i'm sure i'll talk to you both at a certain point and discuss what unfurls there if it is about
4:11 pm
the issues or whatever else might put transpire in today's shermichael singleton and meghan hays. i think both of you thank you. >> jessica and you could follow see an end for complete coverage and exclusive analysis before and after tuesday's debate, the abc news this presidential debates simulcast starts tuesday at 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here on cnn. >> and still ahead tonight, breaking news, we have thousands of people who are fleeing their homes as line fire burns across mountain sides in southern california firefighters are battling those planes and triple-digit temperatures. we're going to be live on the front lines plus a manhunt still underway in kentucky as authorities search for the man, they say opened fire on people driving on interstate 75 last night, the latest on the challenges at the police are facing as the sun goes down. >> and video showing miami, miami dolphins star handcuffed based down on the ground just outside hard rock stadium. >> you're going to hear hear from terry kill. and find out what happened with the officer involved in that arrest or in

planned event that shooting happening along interstate 75 in a very heavily forested area the london, kentucky. cnn's gloria pazmino joining us now gloria, what more are you learning while jessica the sun is going down in kentucky and that's bad news for all these law enforcement agencies that are spread out across laurel country lauro county, looking for joseph couch, police say they believe he is the suspect behind last night's shooting, five people were injured. >> he shot at a total of nine cards and police say that he is armed and considered dangerous. now we do know that the suspect's vehicle has been recovered as well as a weapon an ar-15 style weapon that was recovered from the scene. they believe he was shooting from now we've also just learned in the last few minutes that white house officials have been in touch with law enforcement in kentucky and that they are
4:18 pm
monitoring the situation. we're seeing the suspect's car there. that's from the sheriff's office. they provided those photos to us just a short while ago. they have put out as much information as they have been able to gather in the last several hours. but as we get into the evening hours, jessica, they are saying this is going to become extremely difficult. and at some point they will have to pull their people out of the woods. it's an extremely heavily wooded area. a lot of trees, a lot of brush, not a place where you want to be in the dark when someone is out there with potentially a weapon. now, the sheriff's office said just a short while ago, they believe that there is this containment area where they are searching where they believed that the suspect may be. however, they recognize that there's a possibility the suspect could have fled from that location, and that of course, is a concern, not just for this community, but also the surrounding area. as you

4:20 pm

4:28 pm
people in israel speak their mind. this is the israeli strength of democracy. but it is not really depend on u.s us, hamas in the other side are not really in the same negotiations as we thought in the beginning, they are not negotiating their dictating they do not really want negotiations or an agreement unfortunately the cia director who has been intimately involved in these negotiations, said, this comes down to political will, and both sides agreeing that enough is enough. >> what do you say to that? >> well i think that i won't put any type of symmetry between the state of israel at the maa cracy a state and put in front of it, actually political, will from hamas terror organization you just mentioned what they did to us in october 7 and what are they
4:29 pm
doing to the state of israel? to the israeli people and jewish people worldwide in the last decades, he must do not want israel on the map now, i'm doing everything everything we've very good people, my friends from the israeli secret service's the israeli government is really armed forces to bring all our people back home. not forget that in the very beginning of the war, we had 32 missing. and then it came to the point that we knew that we have 255 hostages in gaza. this is unprecedented event never happened, something like this. and it is very important that multiple, not only in israel won't happen any other place in the world and i hear you on what you have done so far. i've spoken with family members of hostages that are still being held my colleagues have spoken to them. we've interviewed them in the streets just also
4:30 pm
israelis. >> how do you explain to the families? >> all of these hostages that their loved ones aren't home yet. they're really, really outraged by this and they're really upset and they don't feel like they've been getting a lot of them don't feel like they've getting answers from the government will align mean direct contact with all these rarely hostage families i must say, our beloved families and our beloved hostages. i speak with them 24-7 and they know that we are doing everything turning every stone 24 since the very beginning of the war to bring them back home it is very important to remember that ovo right now, we have 101 hostages. we brought back to israel, many hostages, most of them came back alive there are dozens that came back, not alive, unfortunately, but we did a lot and are still doing a lot everyday, 24/7. and i'm
4:31 pm
explaining to the families exactly what is happening in negotiations, exactly what they are doing in the operative point of view, intelligence issues and conflict financial issues as well the families have the picture i speak with them every day and they know exactly what is going on. what are the efforts of course, the frustration, the fear, the sorrow, the grief is well understood. i feel the same just the same. i'm looking forward for the day that i will bring everyone back home and i understand that hamas is also yet to he's not agree to a deal, so let, but let's put that to the side for a second because the israeli people and the families have been calling on the prime minister to get to a deal. >> they have criticized him that he is he is getting hung up on details and that are not allowing these hostages to come home. what are you say to them criticism. let me say loud and
4:32 pm
clear from the very beginning of the war, we've made two main deals the first one was the setting of negotiations during october. we brought back to israel for women hostages and another one girl that was rescued in a commando operation and then during november, we brought back to israel in tough negotiator she asians at one hostages most of them women and children, and 24 foreign workers that you know, i tried to take good care of them as well and to bring them back. all the hostages israeli and foreign workers that were kidnapped to gaza by hamas terror organization. now, since then, since october in november, let me tell you, since december, hamas was not really negotiating. they're trying to dictate and trying mainly to earn some more time. and the most important thing, the most important thing when hamas identify that there is
4:33 pm
daylight between israel and its allies, the most important lie ease united states of america, of course, and great britain and others, when hamas identify that there is daylight they are not in a hurry to come to negotiations this is why there is a direct connection between effective negotiations and criticizing israel you mean the biden administration for this deal not happening? of course not. i think that the biden administration director burns from the cia or the secret service's that are working with u.s. 20 forces seven since the very beginning of the war, they are doing excellent job excellent. we're working together and they're doing their best to push the negotiations was work with the other mediators and to bring a deal. but in the other side there is hamas. hand hamas do not want a deal. hamas, hamas
4:34 pm
is not really negotiating so we keep pressing. we will do everything, everything that we can to bring them to the table with the help and assistance of, united states of america and the mediators. and let me tell you one important thing. this war can be end tomorrow can be end tomorrow actually, i believe that when we will have all the 101 hostages to gaza will be demilitarized and de-radicalized and i even believe that we will agree to build safe passage to shift to wrist, the new hitler sinwar safe passage to him and whoever he wants to join him out of gaza. then gaza can be recovered and an end to this war all right, brigadier general gaulle hirsch.

in a familiar standoff over government funding. >> there will be just 13 days in session before the current funding resolution runs out and sources close to house speaker mike johnson say he's planning to attach a controversial voting build to that resolution which could quickly anger democrats. cnn, washington correspondent sunlen serfaty is joining us now in sunlen, we have been here many times before and the last several years. what's the outlook for this? particular situation? >> yeah, jessica, certainly congress knows how to hurl quickly potentially into a shutdown showdown it appears as of this week in washington, they are coming back and they have to approach this head on. now, lawmakers will returned after an extended summer recess. and the first big thing that they have on their plate is how to keep the government funded, how to keep the government open. now sources on both sides of the aisle tell cnn that there just is no appetite for a shutdown that they have no desire to move to that outcome especially given
4:41 pm
that this is happening so close to an election but that said they have so much to get through in a very short amount of time. still not settled is how long the continuing resolution, which is the stopgap measure, which will keep the government funded for a short period of time. how long that would be democrats, they have been fighting for to push it to the end of the year potentially into december. they want to get past the noise remember election, but republicans, they're pushing for maybe a spring. and of the continuing resolution get past leadership races in the house in the early part of next year. so that's still a big thing yet to be decided. and of course, they need just settle on this spending levels that no small thing. when they get back in washington morrow, jessica, they'll have 13 days in session to get this settled. of course, it is a september 30 that means that if this is not solved, the government could shut down at least partially by october 1st in sunlen. >> what more can you tell us about the save act and its potential role in all of this?
4:42 pm
>> yeah, this is a really interesting part of the negotiations. which will likely see play out in the first part of this week, we have heard according to sources, that speaker of the house, mike johnson, he intends to put to move forward with this continuing resolution. and attach this controversial provision. now, that is the save act, as you referenced and that's it's a non-citizen voting measure this is of course, as we know, it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in the united states, but this bill proposes that people would have to require their proof and submit their proof of citizenship before they vote. this is something that is a nonstarter for many democrats that's it's something that the house freedom caucus a likes and it makes it attractive to them. so we will see some of that wrangling over this bill on the floor this week and just in the last hour or two, senate majority leader chuck schumer, heat in a statement said, quote, we will not let poison pills are republican extremism, but funding for critical

call now and we'll come to you 800 a31, 3,700 evacuations are underway in southern california where a massive wildfire is threatening 35,000 structures. >> the line fire about 65 miles east of los angeles, more than doubling in size overnight and scorching more than 17,000 acres it's currently 0% contained, cnn's camila bernal is in the fire zone with more camila, what have you been seeing over the last couple of hours hey just so we got to see a lot of hotspots and also got to see a lot of these firefighters inaction putting out these hotspots but what we're seeing right now, the fire they're very high up in the hills. >> it's actually very hard to see right now because of how much smoke. but once in a awhile you'll see the flames and you'll see, you'll be able to make out a fire line up in that area. and that's why it's so difficult for firefighters to access to get to those areas. they either have to be flown in or they have to walk in. and so it
4:49 pm
takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of effort from these firefighters. and so that's one of the challenges they have. the other challenge has been whether, first of all, we've had triple-digit temperatures all throughout the week. it has been extremely hot here and the lows are in the 80s. and so there is no break for for these firefighters when it comes to the heat, then you also add the fact that right now are in the middle of a thunderstorm. we have heard some of the thunder. we have seen the lightning we are even feeling a little bit of rain. so yes, the water is good, but the lightning can start new fires. and the other thing that comes with all of this is wind. and so that wind can move the direction of the fire to the point where it becomes an unpredictable for firefighters, they don't even know where to station there, cruz, because the wind it changes the direction of the fire so quickly. so what i was told is that a lot of the crews are closer to the homes. there's about 5,000 people that have been evacuated and had been fulton pack their bags
4:50 pm
and get out of this area. so what they're trying to do is protect all of those homes. so you have firefighters stationed in critical areas so that if a fire gets closer to the homes, they are able to fight that off but firefighters saying, look, it is actually difficult to get to the areas where we can actually fight the flames. so instead we want to protect the homes and do everything we can to stop it from getting to those homes right now, there are no homes destroyed, but there for is the potential for the flames to get closer. so again, just a warning from authorities and i want you to take a listen to what calfire is saying in terms of the difficulty of this fire. here's what they said the biggest challenge when the fires unpredictable like this is knowing where to position all your crews. >> so right now, we're positioned all over the whole fire. most importantly, within the neighborhoods around homes we've yet to lose or damage any structures and we want to keep it that way and so one of

4:52 pm
from marcee gray, son colt gray, the texts simply said, quote i'm sorry, mom, a cnn confirmed earlier today with charles polhamus, cold grades maternal grandfather. it was after receiving that texts that the mother place call to the school before beginning a 200 mile drive from fitzgerald, georgia to hear in winder, but by the time she arrived, the tragic shooting had already happened the painful question that hangs in the air today here in winder is whether this tragedy could have been prevented based on the new information we have learned about what the suspect's mother at tried to do. the answer, of course is that we will never know. but these new revelations are very consequential and may widen the investment situation into the shooting throughout the weekend, we have witnessed how thousands of people have arrived here at apalachee high school in winder to pay their respects, bring flowers, and show support to the families of the deceased than the school

that's what i do. is that love island? to 90. now or visit us at gory law dot com laura coates, live week nights at 11 eastern on cnn the chinese government is officially and abruptly ending its foreign adoption program. hundreds of american families who've been working hard to apply now just in limbo, cnn's steven jang reports this announcement didn't come as a total shock because number of international adoptions from china have been in decline in recent years, the program, of course, came to a sudden halt due in the pandemic and never really recovered even after covid, but still, this marks a major change to a policy that has seen more than 160,000 chinese children being adopted. >> all over the world since the early 1990s, about half of them going to the united states but
4:59 pm
remember this program began when china was dealing with overpopulation problem, that government very much enforcing its draconian one-child policy that basically limited most couples in cities to one child forcing many families to abandon children, especially girls and disabled kids now fast-forward to today, they are dealing with the opposite problem, a shrinking labor force and a rapidly aging society that's why within the last decade, the authorities, you have twice relaxed its one struck family planning policies. now, allowing most couples to have up to three children, but none of that seems to have worked against this backdrop of a slowing economy and young people's changing attitudes towards marriage and parenthood. now, the chinese reaction to this policy change seem to be mixed on social media, but those applauding this decision seem to be expressing a nationalistic sentiment sent saying china's now rich and the powerful enough to take care of its own abandoned children. and often, citing rising tensions between china
5:00 pm
and the united states and other western nations as well. but none of this economic, social, and political realities, of course, offer any real comfort to the hundreds of international families in the middle of adopting children from china because the government here has reportedly indicated this ban goes into effect immediately with very limited exceptions, leaving hundreds of americans in limbo and potentially heartbroken. steven jiang, cnn, beijing and before we go the nfl announcing today, rapper kendrick lamar will headline the super bowl halftime show, february 9 lamar saying in a statement, rap music is still the most impactful genre to date, and i'll be there to remind the world why. >> thanks so much for joining me this evening. i'm jessica dean. we're going to see you right back here next weekend. and as we leave you tonight, a look at the superdome in new orleans this is the sunsets there and a live look at the sphere in las vegas
