warning to allow more aid in or potentially risk of violating us law, losing us military support and it's beginning to feel a lot like exactly christmas but certainly cooler than the blazing hot temperatures of the past lung. >> so what could a land nino winter mean for the united states? we're following these major developing from stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central election day only three weeks to go. and right now the presidential candidates are fighting for every last vote by chris crossing key battleground states, targeting key voting blocs and dialing up the personal attacks. and a few hours former president trump will hit the critical swing state of georgia where he sent them tape, but town hall in front of an exclusively female audience vice president kamala

harris. meantime, we'll be in michigan for an interview with radio host charlemagne tha god as part of her push to appeal to more black men. >> but all some playing out in these final three weeks, the candidates taking jabs at each other's cognitive abilities after raising questions about harris his mental fitness trump is facing some new questions himself after he cut his town hall short last night. and did this there, but trump actually danced and swayed for nearly 40 minutes including some periods of time where there were medical emergencies in his audience. harris later responding, hope he's okay. let's begin our coverage with cnn's eva mckend, who is live for us from troye with the harris campaign, eva, what's the vice president is focused there today

elevating her support for entrepreneurs 1 million fully forget if a the loans up to $20,000, she'll talk about her desire for legalizing recreational marijuana and then making sure that black men actually have access to the india sri access to that capital as well as shoring up the crypto currency industry. >> ultimately, brianna, what we're seeing emerging from her in democratic surrogates in support of her is this argument that listen, you may see it kinship with the former president as a man, he might be appealing to your sense of machismo, but that ultimately a harris administration it would deliver on the policies that would best represent that constituency. we also suspect that she is going to call into focus some of the past comments that the former president has made about the black community. take a listen he is not looking out for folks when he is when

he was a land lord and would not rent to black families sued for it when he took out a full-page ad in the new york times against those five teenagers, black and latino innocent saying they should be executed the central park five, when you look at the first black president, united states, and he had birth, their lives for this conversation to kick off in just a few hours. >> but what we're also seeing from the vice president is really her ramping up this contrast this contrast between her and the former president. she characterizes him as fundamentally unserious and unprepared to meet this moment. brianna boris alright. >> eva mckend, live for us in detroit. thank you so much for that. we've seen as priscilla alvarez joining us now priscilla harris has gone from focusing on joy to ramping up

her attacks on trump. what is this new strategy? >> well, it's an extension of her argument that the foreign president is not fit for office. and at her rally yesterday in erie, pennsylvania that i attended, she said, quote, he is increasingly unstable and unhinged. it's one thing to say it though. what was remarkable about the rally last night and telling about how the next few weeks are going to look like, is that she also rolled a clip of the former president's rallies and interviews. watch i will show you one example of donald trump's worldview and intentions. please roll the clip the worst people are the enemy from within so you heard you heard his words, you heard his words coming from him? now, we'll call it the presidential debate. she said much of the same essentially inviting people are in watchers to watch his rallies, to get a sense of

what he is like. and so this is something we may see more of over the next few weeks. but if you look under the hood of this strategy, there's two things at play here. one, they're trying to to reach those disaffected republicans, those who are still on the fence as to whether they would vote for the vice president, but they're trying to make the argument that the other choice is unhinged and that their vote should go there. they're also still trying to lock down their coalition. that's what she's doing in detroit. she was doing an in pennsylvania yesterday and you'll continue to do that over the rest of the the week. so while they are hammering and the former president, they're also trying to increase our exposure with her interview on fox news tomorrow and the radio town hall today, and also make sure that they have shot up enough of their coalition to try to limit any losses that they can anticipate, like in michigan for example, of the arab american and community. >> alright, priscilla alvarez. thank you so much. we're getting very close here and today we're gonna be seeing former president trump in battleground, georgia is he's racing to make his pitch pitch to women just weeks until election day. >> cnn's kristen holmes is

live force in atlanta where trump is doing a town hall tonight with an all female audience. kristen, there are a lot of concerns among republicans about suburban women specifically what are his goals well, boris, there should be i, you look at the recent polling. >> it shows just how wide that gender gap is between donald trump and kamala harris. he is trying to make that narrower. now whether or not that works, obviously will remain to be seen. but this afternoon he is today and down for a fox town hall. that is an all women audience. >> all the issues are supposed to be women related and he is expected to try to deliver his pitch to women that's actually going to air tomorrow, but he knows he has a problem. >> for example, when i was with him on friday, this is a direct quote and i wrote it down. he wrote, women loved my policy, but they don't like me. this is something he has said routinely here he's also said that he would be women's protector. now, women in the audience seemed to like that messaging, but they also liked donald trump. i'm going to rallies his supporters are at. when i talked to women who aren't necessarily donald trump fans, they don't like

that kind of rhetoric. they also don't like the rhetoric that he often puts on display this violent dark imagery three, they don't like the way he talks or insults people. that is something that he's going to have to overcome whether or not he can do that. and the next three weeks, that remains to be seen. one other note on this is he's had a problem with women with jd vance as well. we know about those childless cat lady comments that came out there were revealed from 2021 and the left has really seized on those comments. and many women and have felt offense to that. you actually saw him trying once again to clean up those remarks over the weekend when he was talking to the new york times, he said that those remarks were dumb. that was the farm for this. we'd seen him go on the topic, but again, republicans know they have a woman issue here, whether or not they can close that gap or even move that gap before november that remains to be seen if trump is now attacking harris, his medical history, kristin, after she called for trump to release his own medical records, which is something you have as he had done. >> what is he saying

playing out is a lot of politics there. >> we know that kamala harris put out a letter from the white house that essentially it was a summer three of her medical record that said she was an excellent health. donald trump responded and said he had put out some basics of his medical history. we know that he hasn't actually risen to the bar than most presidential candidates generally do about their medical history. street, then this turned much more personal. both of them attacking each other over their cognitive state. we don't the middle of the night, donald trump was saying that kamala harris has concerns about her cognitive taken either let's take a test. she might not have the cognitive ability to be president, obviously, none of that is something that we've heard from anyone near her. this is not something that is out there it's just something donald trump is saying now we have kamala harris questioning donald trump's cognitive ability, as well as you said, making that comment on the video of him laughing that's night dancing and swaying to music for 40 minutes, saying, i hope he okay, this is a sideshow and politics when a

lot of people want to focus on the issues at hand, but there are people out there who want to see a full medical release from donald trump. i don't think we're going to see it this cycle. we haven't seen it before. it seems very, very unlikely also trump strangely attacking her allergies, which is something a lot of people deal with and isn't serious a problem, as you know, i deal with it the ragweed. >> the ragweed? yeah kristen holmes. thanks so much for the update so every vote matters in extremely tight presidential race. a big reason why both candidates are ramping up efforts to shore up support with the opposite sex. >> cnn senior data reporter harry enten is with us now to break down where both candidates stand when it comes to the gender gap, kind of a gender chasm at this point, harry, what are the numbers showing? >> you know, i just want to note that the last time i was with you, two folks i in fact was low energy. folks were worried. and so i want you to grade me at the end of this segment and tell me if i had enough high high-energy as we go on. all right, so let's dive

into these numbers and you can grade me at the end. let's just talk about where male voters stand. and right now, compare, this is the democrat versus trump margin impair five-year, four years ago, excuse me, trump won among male voters by just five points. look at where we stand today. my goodness, gracious. donald trump doing considerably better among male voters up by 12 points. that's a seven point swing in donald trump's direction. keep in mind that seven points swing because i want you to take a look at what's going on with female voters. all right. what do you see here there is no swing, not things going on. >> there is no change from where we were four years ago, right. biden versus trump. biden won them by 13. look, we're harris leads in the polls right now by 13. yeah, idea that women would be supporting a democrat is so surprising while men would be supporting republican. again, not surprising, but the fact that we've seen this movement among male voters, and there has been no movement whatsoever among female voters that my friends is quite surprising. it's something honestly i wasn't really expecting until i actually looked at the numbers, which is i guess why

you have me on yeah. >> yeah, that is why we have you on harry both candidates are ramping up attacks when it comes to each other's mental and physical fitness for office who do voters see as more capable, more fit in that regard? >> yeah. alright, so i'm going to jump into that question. i had actually written the second question. it didn't make its way to you, but i just want to know why i think this gender gap is going on here are right. i think this is why this gender gap is going on. abortion as a top voting issue. you look across arizona, georgia, michigan, north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin. i got them all and look at this women 25% say it is the top issue compared to just men, 7%. what's the big difference between now and four years ago, roe v. wade was overturned back in 2022. now abortion is at the forefront of the minds. i honestly, again, was not expecting this type of gap. do you normally don't see it when it comes to whether or not someone's pro-choice or pro-life over, it comes to abortion being a top issue, very clear here, women are saying it's a top issue. men saying it's not. i think that's why you're seeing the

movement among male voters, but you're not seeing among female, not to your question to your question when it comes to better health, right? better mental and physical health to be president you look back in july when it was donald trump versus joe biden. look at this. donald trump crushing joe biden 50% to 21%, jump forward number all the shoe is on the other foot, my goodness, gracious. harris, 54% say she is the better mental physical health to be present compared to just 34% for donald i'll trump that is the biggest difference now, we're kamala harris becoming the democratic nominee. help either physical or mental. that was so helpful for donald trump and his campaign. a jump ahead of joe biden. now is working in the complete reverse, at least if you believe the polling data and guys, i don't have to tell you. i do yeah. >> health so often performing alongside energy, which i think harry really brought. i'm going to give you a 9.8 oh, yeah. >> but go ahead to go ahead, boris i was just going to say i

thought you were high-energy, harry, all the way. i've given you an a minus, i'm not sure how well you can see it there a minus only, only minus because that question that you apparently tried to give us to give you that's not the way it works, harry, we asked you questions and you should be just right. >> i that was ready for it. i think i think there was a lot of good improv that i did in that particular segment. but you know what, i just want to make sure that it all flows together so beautifully. and i think this segment has flown together like, i don't know, an award-winning film. >> yeah, you can blame last time on the ragweed as brianna. it's hitting everybody this here. harry enten. oh, wow. thank you so much. >> bye. >> bye still to come. >> the white house is suggesting that military aid to israel is that risk. this is serious. they say that unless the country needs a list of demands to improve the humanitarian and the humanitarian situation in gaza. they could see the us scaling back its helped plus backlash over a gop lawsuit. the targets

americans voting overseas, which would include military personnel and their family play members. now some house democrats are asking the secretary of defense to protect those americans rights to vote and then later a warning from two of america's most prominent black business leader peters to companies abandoning their strategies to promote diversity, that and much more coming up on cnn news central you, look at the news of the week and asked questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn that's too much i want donald news for you saturday at nine on cnn in the world's poorest places children with cleft conditions live in darkness and shame. >> their shunned outcast living in pain you can reach out and change the life of a suffering child, right? it now, a surgery that takes as little as 45

benjamin netanyahu and other officials have assured the united states that israel's counter strike it will be limited to iran military targets rather than oil or nuclear facilities. reacting to reports of this decision and whose office said, quote, we listen to the opinions of the united states, but we will make our own final decisions based on our national interests. and to support israel's defense interests. some major american military aid arrived there today an advanced team of us military personnel is on the ground along with some components of the highly anticipated thad system, which is one of the most powerful anti-missile weapons in the world. pentagon official said this about fad in the last hour this is also meant to be a temporary provision of air defense capabilities to better protect israel it's in keeping with our intent to reduce tensions and it is also there to help de-escalate but of

course, as the president has said from the beginning, we are there to support israel's self-defense let's discuss with cnn military analyst, retired air force colonel cedric leighton. >> colonel leighton, thank you so much for being with us as always. so israel assuring the us that the idf plans to strike iranian military targets, not nuclear facilities or oil facilities. does that diminish the probability of a wider war in the middle east? >> well, it's certainly the intent. and if that actually happens, boris, then we can definitely see a de-escalation being possible in this particular scenario. so if the israelis i mean essence, keep their word if these reports are accurate, then it would mean that they are targeting very specific areas, certain military installations probably airfields, maybe missile sites, things like that they could also go after radar sites, which would help with them in several different areas. if they do all of that, then that would mean that the limited

target set is one that the israelis have gone after. and then that should, should be the limit of the essence military ladder at this point. >> yeah, part of the delicate thought or the operating factor, the thing that this is all hinges on as you alluded to multiple times, is whether israel actually does what it has apparently told the united states it is going to do. we've seen now multiple times through conversations about potential ceasefire agreements. the hostage release agreement both with hezbollah in lebanon and with hamas in gaza, that there has been miscommunication that certain things have been lost in translation, you could say how much do you put stock into the idf actually going after military targets versus netanyahu statement saying that, well, listen to the united states, but we're going to do what's best for us. >> well, i think that's going to be the key. israel is always going to do what's best for israel, especially with netanyahu in charge a we'll

certainly listen to the united states. they will perhaps follow some advice based on our previous experience in the region but the i think the bottom line is, they may say certain things to the u.s. but the final analysis will really come down to what the israelis think will give them the most security. their goal with this operation, boris, is to in essence take, make a buffer zone out of the area around them. so southern lebanon, gaza, probably the west bank all of those areas. and of course iran itself, they want to make it as impossible, at least as difficult as possible for any of these parties, either iran or its proxies to attack israel if they can stop that, or at least minimize the risk of that, then they will have succeeded in their efforts overnight, the idf continued operations in gaza. the lawn strikes that killed roughly 40, the biden administration sent this letter to israel demanding that it improve the

humanitarian situation. there within the next 30 days and suggested that the u.s. could potentially consider withdrawing or withholding some level of aid do you think the u.s would would actually do that? what would it look like? what do they need to see improve? >> yeah, i think what's key here is that the u.s. will always give defensive aid to israel but offensive aid or military material that could be used for offensive operations that would probably be curtailed. and if that's curtailed, that could limit israel's effectiveness in terms of its operations, both in lebanon against hezbollah villa and in gaza against hamas quickly on the pentagon spokesperson talking about the fat anti-missile system how significant is it not only that it's going to be there, but that is being operated by us personnel on the ground considering that we've seen even in recent days, idf personnel get killed in strikes from hezbollah well, it's very significant and it shows that there's a commitment of the

united states to support israel in a defensive way. >> this is a defensive system. and the only people that can operate, the only people who are trained to operate are actually us personnel. so that's why us personnel are going into israel to do this but it also augments the exam this thing israeli air defense system plus it augments the ages spaced air defense systems, air missile systems that are on board. the u.s. naval vessels in the mediterranean. >> colonel cedric leighton always appreciate the analysis. thanks so much for joining us. you bet boris. thank you. >> still to come, republican lawsuits in several states are challenging the legitimacy of overseas ballots and it could impact the ability of active duty personnel to vote in this election. that story coming up >> tonight at ten eastern on cnn

and promo products, all backed by iran our guarantee accustoming what it feels day and the rnc and republican lawmakers have filed lawsuits targeting overseas he's voting, including ballots from us service members serving abroad, as well as their family members. the washington post spoke with veteran and active duty service members after a poor now on this initially to get reaction and iraq war veteran alice and jaso, who is the head of the non-profit iraq and afghanistan veterans of america said quote literally these were the people who were putting it all on the line for what we have in america. and we're going to compromise their ability to have a say in how they vote for who sends them to war. it's just beyond the pale democratic congressman

and army veteran pat ryan, whose district includes west point calls it an attempt to disenfranchise literal, active duty military members who are over her cs risking their life for our country and retired four-star army general joseph votel reportedly compared it to a hostage taking of the votes of men and women who have taken an oath to protect the u.s. constitution, joining us now is amy gardner. she is one of the journalists behind that article. she is a national reporter for the washington post and covers voting on the post democracy team. army. amy first, let's start with the premise of these challenges. here. has there been fraud within this population? >> there's not been any reported evidence of fraud among uaw cava voting in any measurable amount. >> those are the uniformed and overseas applicants for voting that's correct. >> you akabas, the abbreviation for yes. >> sorry, jargon exactly. and it's a combination of civilians and military to live overseas. it's actually it's

actually dominated more by civilian americans than military. but the fact that these lawsuits are targeting all of them has really outrage people who love our military so traditionally i think people would expect that the military votes might skew conservative is that still the case? >> i mean, is this a case where trump or the rnc or republican lawmakers could be shooting themselves in the foot with this will really interesting, that's one of the reasons why republicans did not go after military and overseas voters in 2020 when they, when they rail against absentee mail-in balloting, they said we're not talking about military because of the assumption that that it was a population that's skewed republican. but more recently, folks have called that into question the population overseas is dominated by non-military hearing those do skewed democratic and even though we think of the military as being more conservative, there are many members of the military of color who actually vote democratic more often than not, oversees military votes.

they were actually targeted for years ago after the election in nevada, we saw at done rather clumsily, i might add where lawyers who were working on behalf of the trump campaign flagging what we're easily verifiable overseas military addresses. now it seems though you have the work being done up front ahead of the election. what is the strategy here? >> well, i think there's a couple of things going on here. one is if they succeed, if they find a judge who agrees with them, there'll be able to set aside these ballots that they believe favor kamala harris. and that will give them an edge. i don't think there's any question that there is a political motive here. but the other thing is that even if they don't succeed i think that this series of lawsuits do the same thing that a lot of the activities of the rnc and the trump campaign around the integrity of the election are doing. and that is sowing chaos, sowing mistrust in our elections, which potentially plants the seeds for civil unrest, even violence after the election, should donald trump lose the backlash has been pretty severe. it seems like

the backlash to these lawsuits has been incredibly severe. i mean, we're hearing from military groups, veterans groups, unprompted and they're furious. i mean, you saw you quoted some of the language from the story. we heard that from a lot of folks, yeah, amy, great reporting. amy gardener with the washington post. we really appreciate it and joining us now is democratic congresswoman kristie houlahan of pennsylvania. she's also an air force veteran. she is quoted in this story of amy's congresswoman. it is worth noting that pennsylvania does not require overseas voters to provide identification like a passport or driver's license. there isn't a record of fraud when it comes to this population they should have voters, but what do you say to your republican colleagues who see a problem with that id issue what i say or what i see is that they're running scared and that they are so scared that they are not going to be winning. >> and the next 20 or so days that they are literally disenfranchising the very people who have raised their hand and sworn an oath it's to the constitution to serve us,

to allow us to be able to have this right to vote i am appalled and offended that six of my republican colleagues in pennsylvania have authored this legislation in pennsylvania. and to me the biggest indication of them being scared of the results of this election is the addition disenfranchisem ent of tens of thousands of voters so you, as the washington post reports are among democrats who are requesting of defense secretary lloyd austin that he protect this pool of votes. >> have you heard back from him? and what do you want from him? >> as of right now? we have not heard back from him. i fully expect that he will respond favorably, that this will be something that he will aggressively protect and defend. and i think that that's appropriate, but we should not be having this conversation in the first place to your point, most recently, this is about sowing chaos and discord across the electorate. this is about creating roadblocks box and obstacles to validating this election of those six people who authored this piece of legislation, this

lawsuit, all six of them voted against certifying the last election, but all six of them are sitting in congress right now in seats that those votes allowed them to win their office width and so it's, it's his it's hard, isn't horrific. what they're trying to accomplish, and i am deeply embarrassed for the commonwealth of pennsylvania that these people are are leading the legislation on this or leading the lawsuit on this two of the six of your republican colleagues behind this lawsuit in new your state? >> guy reschenthaler and scott perry, our veterans. they have service records commendable ones. have you talked to them about your concerns you know, i have to be honest, i don't have very many fruitful conversations with representative perry i am disappointed with this. >> stand by them because my guess is that each of them, in fact, i believe each of them has served overseas at one point or the other. i myself was a little girl and my dad was stationed in okinawa and i know that my dad and my mom who had to mail in ballots at that point in time. i'm and i know

they took their responsibility very seriously as residents of florida at the time. >> and so i guess i'm embarrassed. >> i have no other way of explaining this other than the fact that those same people were the people on the very wee hours of january 7 who were explaining that they were going to vote to not certify the election and instead to not certify it. but again, to take the oath of office, to take their seat in the house of representatives, which is just crazy. >> the lawsuit asks for all overseas ballots to be set aside for them to not be counted until the identity of each voter is confirmed. and according to the secretary of the commonwealth of pennsylvania, al schmidt, 25,000 ballots have been sent out overseas so far from your state, what would the effect of that requirement be? >> well, you we have seen elections determined by swings of fewer than 25,000 votes. i remember a certain former president talking about 10,000 or so votes that he needed to be found in georgia. and so these kinds of volumes of votes really matter in the count. and

to set them aside, not only sets them aside in terms of time and space, but it also the, creates that sense of that this may not be real. that these votes are being rushed or dumped into the system. and that's exactly what they'd like to accomplish. and that's exactly why they filing this suit right now. and i'll share with you that i have a daughter who lives overseas and one of my dearest friends and his wife live overseas. all american citizens, all voting from overseas? in this way? and none of them are creating some sort of mischief in doing that. all of them are exercising their right to vote congresswoman chrissy houlahan. >> thank you so much for talking with us about this very important issue. >> thank you. i appreciate you. >> so ahead. as some companies turn the page on their diversity equity inclusion programs to prominent business leaders have come forward with a big warning

inclusion. we're now seeing that reverse. and that's because of particularly because of right-wing legal and political pressure on companies like harley davidson, john deere, molson, coors right-wing activists. they've, they've targeted these companies on social media and force them to make changes. and now guys, these companies really have bud light in the back of their minds, but the light is really the cautionary tale of what can go wrong. when companies lean into kind of inclusion programs, bud light, of course, they partnered with transgender influencer dylan mulvaney last year. then they retreated on this partnership after conservative backlash and it ended up costing the company 1.4 billion lost sales. so bud light is kind of the cautionary tale hanging over all of this so nathaniel, these two ceos that you spoke with, they climb the ladder at some of the most prominent fortune 500 companies what do they say?

>> these companies risk by moving away from diversity programs yeah, boris, i spoke to ken frazier, who was the ceo of merck and ken chenault who led american express and both of these former ceos, they tell me that there are significant risks for companies that pulled back on dei frazier told me that dei is really about finding opportunities to identify hidden talent and disadvantage talent in a world where not everybody has the same chance for opportunities. >> so companies that rolled back on their commitment to diversity are going to live commit equal opportunities for people who face barriers because of their skin color or the neighborhood they grew up in, or the school they went to. and they're also guys. there is also significant business risks for companies have pulled back on dei dei is good for the bottom line, research shows so boost financial performance format is it attracts talent.

it makes employees more, more motivated. so, companies that are, that are reversing themselves on their commitments to diversity are taking big challenges here yeah, it's really interesting and nathaniel meyersohn, thank you for that report. and now to some of the other headlines that we're watching this hour, honorable discharges have now been given to more than 800 service members who were for kicked out of the military under the don't ask don't tell policy with other than honorable discharges that a policy was repealed in 2011? in this change means it means so much. it's not just about the label, it means us service members will now be eligible for va benefits that they may have been denied, like home loans, health care, and even some government jobs. >> also in football, 49ers player ricky pearsall took to the field for practice monday the first time the rookie receiver practice since he was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery, just nine days before their season opener

degrees below normal normal for the highest even saranac lake picked up some snow flurries yesterday. there is still some rain around and say cold rain across parts of the great lakes but let's talk about linear. what does it do? it makes a cold pool of water here. you're south america. here's north america, makes a cold pool of water. they're it to flex the jet stream to the north maybe not this radical, but this is the idea. and then as it comes down through the great lakes, you get more cold and more wet, more snow, possibly. not necessarily because it could be rain in 34, but it will be dry in the desert southwest. unlike el nino, where it's fairly wet and then increased tornado possibilities across the lower mississippi valley. this is what we've been facing over the past couple of years, where el nino was in charge, warmer to the north drier in the middle part of the country, cool down across the gulf coast. and wet across parts of the desert, southwest now it's still a desert, but it did get a little bit of water and

siemens, some of the lakes went up. but here's what the forecast is coming up on thursday. this is what it looked like. this is the kind of the preview of what the winter is going to look like above temperatures. but yet also above-normal precip in many spots. so that's that balance as it raining and 34 or is it snowing in 29? and then of course, across parts of the deep south, it will be below normal precip, except for this little area right through here, which could see those tornadoes that we've talked about because of the dip in the jet stream, right there i didn't even tell him to say that that it would kill the ragweed. his she makes me on this show, chad, because i'm always someone has a stuffy nose. i'm like, is it the ragweed? >> i got to say the most alarming thing i heard chad say was that the last normal year we had was 2020 for who chad was 2020 a normal year yeah. >> well, we were all sitting in our house broadcasting from inside anyway, right chad myers. >> thank you so much.
