in the middle east us officials are hoping that the killing of the hamas leader yahya sinwar could speed up the end of the war in gaza, but israel and hamas for now, refusing to back down major developing stories and many more all coming in right here. cnn new central gets underway tomorrow in the pivotal battlegrounds, largest city of detroit, vice president kamala harris and former president trump are ramping up campaign events in the state. >> both of them making multiple stops today, just moments ago, harris spoke at an event in grand rapids. she will leave soon soon to talk with union workers in lansing, and then later on, trump will rally in detroit just a week after comparing it to a quote, developing nation, we are covering the 2024 race is final

stretch the way that only cnn can let's start with cnn's alayna treene on trump's return to the motor city. so alayna, what more do we know about the trump camp? payne's goals there i mean, i think there's no question. >> alex and brianna that this state is crucial to both campaigns really in their pathway to trying to find 270 electoral, electoral votes. in november. now, michigan itself has 15 electoral votes and it's really the center of the so-called blue wall states and i'll tell you from my conversations with trump's senior advisors that out of all three of them, that includes not just michigan, but also pennsylvania and wisconsin, that they actually feel the most confident about michigan. and that's why you're seeing he had spent so much time in this state really trying to shore up that support here. now, did mention but he was also in this state just a week ago. i was here as well covering him his remarks at the detroit economic club, and it was really interesting because at one point during those remarks, he actually insulted detroit while being in detroit,

he he talked about you know, reinvigorating the u.s. auto industry. he said he wanted to renegotiate a trade deal that he had first negotiated actually with mexico and canada, but then he started to criticize detroit saying it was a once-great city saying that it's more of a developing city, then places like china. and so he got a lot of backlash for that. i'm curious to see whether or not he tries to clean up some of those remarks when he's back here tonight, but before he comes to detroit, alex and brianna, he's actually going to be in oakland county. that's where we're going to see that split screen of harris and donald trump both in the same county that i note that it's actually just north of detroit that is in the suburbs and it's been very clear that the suburbs is really an area that donald trump's team has been targeting, particularly suburban women. and so i think that's going to be a key part of what he talks about when he's there. just later this afternoon all right. >> and we were just looking

there at former president trump taking some questions. so we'll be monitoring that. if actually can we listen into this? let's listen in it he called me, yes he's called me now it's spoken. >> i'm going to speak broadly down well, if he's doing a good job, biden is strike holden back just so you understand, biden his farce? very to the to the fbi he's tried to hold him back and they probably should be doing the opposite. actually, i'm glad that we decided to do what he had to do it, but it's pretty good. everything's moving. >> yes. you have is a deranged lunatic who lost florida, loved music, everything he is doing, should have never been put in charge of this case. there is no case i did absolutely nothing wrong.

is it your rage versus, you know, what it is it's called election. i think that's all they're doing election, i think is the weaponization of the justice system. and the people are wise nothing was released, is nothing released in florida said the same thing that he lost the case soundly and keep losing the case. just got no case before they're trying to do he thing they can do to help them with the election because they're losing very badly. and the american public is totally aware aware of what's happened on document. >> me emigrant are here today to vote for them. what do you think kamala has allowed 21 million people, at least probably more than that? to enter our country. many of them are murderers and drug dealers. they're people we don't want terrorists. we have the largest number the terrorists in our country right now than we've ever had. according to the records allowed by the worst border security in history. and

that's kamala she was the borders are i watch her make a fool out of herself. but brett baer, who is the border czar. she doesn't know what she's doing. this is a woman that doesn't have a clue frankly, i think they should put back by and now, based on the numbers i think i'm doing better against her than i am against biden. maybe biden will go back they'll do it a third time out of endorsements. arab americans with a lot of people so that's a great honor be voting for her? russia doesn't know what she's doing. so i don't see a voting i don't see a lot of people, but she's not a smart person

obviously in the middle of a very big and very contentious fight will leading. >> i've given my health exams, i've also done cognitive test twice and i've aged to meaning a perfect storm. i want to see her do a cognitive test because she couldn't she wasn't born smart. all right. thank you. >> all right. kristen, i want to bring you to that. listen, he may have some qualms with kamala harris. she is clearly smart fact check that he called jack smith deranged. she said that bibi's actually called him. he hasn't spoken to him yet. he's probably going to now and then he said that he's it's done all kinds of exams and that the media has them all for his health right. >> so i think the question about bibi was about sinwar and that because it is the first time that we've actually heard him respond to that saying bibi did what he had to do and saying he hadn't actually spoken to him yet. there have been some confusion about what kind of conversations that he has been having with netanyahu. we know that one point is

really media was saying saying they were having conversation, trump's team was saying wasn't happening. there have been reports of that, but he's saying now that he hadn't talk to him, obviously jack smith stuff, there's nothing new there that is just how he has continued to rail against all of these legal cases, essentially saying that they're all political in terms of the health exams. i believe he has including some of the post shooting in butler assassination attempt, a letters that we saw from ronny jackson, who is not his physician, but it was when he was in the white house. again, he has not released any sort of comprehensive medical records here. and to be clear, in august of last of this year said he was going to release more medical records and then went on to not do that. now is saying he's already released enough, but again, that was an august and he said he was going to so clearly there's been a disconnect in between there. >> you think he feels a need to clean up what he said last week in detroit where he was essentially he was saying that if harris wins and all cities come like detroit, which is

pretty insulting, it is insulting, but i heard him say it again shortly while later when he was i believe in chicago talking to that economic club saying that detroit again, was a developing nation or essentially saying that they needed to clean up and that the entire country could become like that. i don't think he's going to change anything that he's saying there in terms of that messaging, obviously, michigan is a critical state and one thing that alayna said that we're hearing from his team is that they're feeling very good about michigan. and one thing to keep in mind right now everywhere that donald trump goes from here until election day is targeted, they are no longer going to places that they think they're going to win. they're going to places that they think they need to reach voters. one of the places they need to reach voters is those suburbs of detroit. they feel confident about it, but that doesn't mean they think they have it in the bank. so you're going to see him in shogun every week until election day. we have three weeks to go. they want michigan. they believe they can win michigan. and if they win michigan, they believe they can win the election she might have expected sooner last weekend, you and i were talking about how he was just in california and colorado, you were on color

kristen holmes. thanks very much. >> want to bring in cnn's priscilla alvarez. she is in waterford township. that's in michigan where if vice president kamala harris, it could be rallying with voters later today. so priscilla, what's the vice president doing today? >> well, the vice president is targeting counties that president biden had won in 2020, kent county, for example, had gone for former president donald trump in 2016, then president biden won it in 20, 22 of the other counties. president biden won them by wider margins, and that is what the harris campaign wants to emulate. and build on. so they're doing that today with a message on labor shortly ago, we heard the vice president in grand rapids where she talked about manufacturing and labor so he's trying to make inroads with union voters knowing that some rank and file members have been leaning toward former president donald trump. so her remarks today in michigan have been centered on that. but also when talking to campaign officials, they tell me that where they see opportunities is also in the suburbs. this is an

area that both trump and harris are competing for. but what the harris campaign sees is that they kept potentially an opportunity with the white college educated voters. in other words, perhaps republicans who are tired of trump and maybe willing to vote for the vice president. now, the way they're trying to capitalize on this as well, is with early voting. this is the first presidential election in michigan where there will be early voting in-person. and so that is something that the harris campaign is very focused on. in fact, she will stay in michigan until tomorrow. she'll be in detroit for a get-out-the-vote event and we're they're bringing in some star power. lizza will be with her for that and later it will be in georgia with austria. we're early voting has already begun, so you can see this strategy is starting to come to fruition, where they are trying to fortify their coalition, bring in those voters, perhaps those disaffected republicans, that is an area they've been keenly focused on. well also, bring those folks to the polls early and take advantage of the early voting where they can, but certainly michigan, a key

part of the harris campaign's strategy as well. >> all right. priscilla alvarez. thank you. let's get to cnn national politics correspondent eva mckend, who is in atlanta, the vp, having a busy and visible week eva, what's on the horizon for harris? so alex and brianna, i beat the vice president here to georgia, but when she makes her way here to atlanta, they are going to be three spaces to walk she's going to have this big rally saturday night featuring usher. >> and it's all aimed at getting voters to make a plan to vote, vote early if they again, after that, she is going to appear at new birth missionary baptist church, as well as the souls to the polls event that of course are vance targeted at a black voters, the faith-based community, and the message for those voters is that this is not a performative exercise for her, that she grew up in the black faith tradition, and that informs her values in her leadership style

but listen, the campaign thinks that they have a lot of voters to reach in this state, not only black voters asian and latino voters of the diverse parts of the democratic coalition. but also conservative voters in this state as well. we have seen in past election cycles in the midterms that there are a sizable number of republicans in this state, non-trump republicans split ticket voters and so the campaign is doing all that they can to appeal to that part of the coalition as well. alex, brianna eva. >> thank you very much. and with us now is cnn political director david chalian and david, let's talk about the big picture here. michigan obviously, so important, but explain to us how it fits into the picture and what the latest polling shows. >> yeah. first, let's talk about how close it is. if you look at our latest poll of polls in the state of michigan, it is basically a tie. it's a one point race you see between harris and trump, 48%. harris,

47% trump this is of likely voters. this is an average of the five most recent reputable polls in michigan, which is one way to look at this that is so razor thin. neither campaign can tell you with competence now how michigan will fall here at the end of the day? it's critical. you heard alayna say this before. it's got 15 electoral votes, so it's sizable. so when you're talking about these seven battleground states, it ranks fourth on that list in terms of its electoral price so it opens up paths. if you have it in your corner and walz off some pads for your opponent. if they don't, so it's critical nature and also just has so much going on in the state, whether it is labor or white working class voters, or the battle for the suburbs, or the issue of israel and gaza with our american, but it's got so much of what's going on in the campaign at play. >> so when you look at how michigan may vote this year, how does it compare to last election? >> so let's take a look at how

michigan went in 2016 when it was clinton versus trump. you remember donald trump won michigan. this was him busting through the blue wall to win the presidency he wanted by just over 10,000 votes. there. you see 47.6% to 47.4. that's how close clinton came. but if you then look at what joe biden did in 2020, he completely overperformed what hillary clinton did. he won the state by more than 154,000 votes. we have not seen pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin not vote together ever since 1988. you heard kristen talking about how they the trump team believes they can pick off michigan if they are able to just pick one that would also just be breaking out of that the notion that these three states performed together. >> and of all the counties in all the battlegrounds in america, you have harris and trump crossing paths in the same won oakland county.

>> yeah, they're going to be a couple of hours apart their events, but they're events are literally a 20 minute drive from each other in oakland county, suburban detroit. and this is what is so critical. oakland county is not what we would call a swing county. it hasn't voted republic looking since 1992, but this is when we you hear her say all the time margins matter. this is what we mean. so look at the results in oakland county when hillary clinton, who won the county but lost the state of roll in 2016, was running against trump. she won oakland county by 53,000 votes, 8% senators points. okay. and that was not enough in a democratic performing county that was not enough of a margin to help her win. the state look at what joe biden did four years later in oakland county, he wanted by 14 percentage points. he won it by 108,000. fact 70% of his statewide margin that we showed before comes from his victory margin here in oakland county. so this is precisely why are we seeing both candidates here? because this is precisely the kind of place where harris needs to perform at biden levels in the suburbs, right?

and where trump says, i'm coming back to narrow those margins because that's how i won this state in 2016. that's why we see them both in oakland county today. >> before we let you go, david, do you think that there's been a shift in tone in harris's tone specifically, it was a lot of hope and joy in good times when she launched her campaign and it's been targeting trump's rhetoric a fair bit more. yes. i would just notice when you were showing clips of her in grand rapids, michigan earlier today, the leaves were different colors. >> some had fallen on the stage so too, as we get closer to election day, does the strategy change? and there is no doubt and david plouffe was on our air earlier today, a senior adviser to harris campaign talking about this, there's no doubt they see in these final 18 days they've done a lot of work of laying out some of her agenda pieces. they introduced her or they introduced walz, they had the joy that they see in these final 18 days. it has to be contrast with trump every hour because ever voters are left deciding between these two candidates. they need to take it to trump every day, which is

why they seize on whatever sort of controversial thing he said says in the morning, you'll hear kamala harris referenced it now, in the afternoon and try to draw the contrast every single stop going straight to the cameras to do it. still hasn't sunken personally and it's only 18 days away. clearly, the campaigns have realized that based on what they're doing, david chalian, thank you so much and it's still ahead. hamas defiant after its leader has been killed by israel, the militant group says that is israeli hostages, however, will not be returned until the war ends in gaza and israeli troops pull out of gaza, plus just a huge document dumped nearly 2000 pages of court filings. former president trump fought to keep secret are now public. a lot of it though, redacted. so what we're learning about this trove of documents and then later a former olympic snowboarder is now a fugitive. we'll tell you why >> am i just going to take what the market gives me? no, i can do some research that's backed

the killing of hamas leader yahya sinwar on wednesday will now open a new path perhaps towards peace in the israel, hamas war after more than a year of fighting, but hamas for now and for its part is remaining defiant today, doubling down on demands for the release of hostages these hamas demands include an end to the strikes and the war in gaza, what they call israel's aggression. >> also, israel's full withdrawal militarily from the gaza strip. and then of course the release of palestinian prisoners in israel, an exchange for those israeli hostages also include, i should say hostages from other countries, joining me now is cnn military analyst, retired army major general james spider marks general. thank you so much for joining us. you are of course, the head of geopolitical strategy at academy securities we also heard from prime minister netanyahu yesterday after the killing of sinwar. and when you listen to it, it doesn't

really sound like he's ready to end this war in gaza just yet. do you general agree with the biden administration that there's little more israel can gain militarily, and that instead it would be diplomacy that now ends this war outcome is some political condition that allows gaza to move down a path that looks entirely different from what it's been on. >> i mean, clearly what we're seeing as a military operation that's driving towards some currently undefined political outcome. so of course we would all be hopeful that there could be a movement in that direction. but one of the conditions that you've already described is totally unacceptable for israel, and it should be for everybody who's been engaged in this is the release of an undisclosed number of palestinian prisoners that israel has and i must assume that numbers in the hundreds, if not thousands, for the release of the hostages. and also a precondition for all

of that is a complete ceasefire and the removal of israel from gaza netanyahu and the idf have said all along that's a nonstarter if they were to do that, there was absolutely zero guaranteed based on what they've seen in this very troubled relationship that exists, that the hostages would in fact be released and what is the condition of those hostages, right now? i mean, it's terribly tracker, tragic across the board. but alex, what it really tells you is israel has stripped away this capability that deterrence that tehran has in the form of attrition of hezbollah as well as hamas, right? mean it's quite amazing intelligence capabilities and strike capabilities it's kind of where we are right now. so i don't think israel's in any hurry to say, well, let's stop what we're doing. there's still a ton of work to get done. >> yeah. meanwhile, the administration is saying that the war can end. and in fact that hamas cannot carry out another october 7 general. i want to ask you about this

edited drone video that the idf put out of what? here's to be the final moments of yahia sinwar's life. you can see the drone going into this bombed-out building they've, they're at right there. he's he's highlighting he's hunched over in an armchair and then we believe that either moments are a little bit after this video, he was then shot and killed. in fact, a pathologist and israel said today that it was a bullet to the head that killed him. when you look at this drone video, very dramatic. are you surprised that the israeli military put it out well not at all. >> there are several ways to look at this. first of all, the idf has been publishing on them on a routine basis multiple times during the day footage of what they are doing. in other words, not only do they have a narrative, here's proof of what we're doing. they are opening themselves up to the world for evaluation and criticism. ms it comes after them, but the key thing here i think you could flip this and say, look, is this gloating? are we in fact

tried to put a focus on this incredibly bad guy and we terminated him as quickly as we could. and you saw him suffering loud sitting down in this chair in this rubble. and this is what this is what your leader is all about. that's another way to look at and the comparison with what happened with osama bin laden. and very quietly the united states dumped him in the ocean before anybody really celebrate him is i think a false narrative at this point, israel has been incredibly open about what they're doing and allowing others to evaluate it. >> yeah, it's certainly see why they would put that out for domestic consumption. but how it could backfire elsewhere in the region. general spider marks, thanks so much for joining us today. >> alex. thank you. >> and coming up nearly 2000 pages of documents, were just unsealed in special counsel jack smith's election subversion case against former president donald trump. include new details about what trump was doing as the capital riot unfolded
