sunday with manu raju next on cnn >> we can't stand you your ash vice president while harris holds her attacks, he's becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged. a big names hit the trail hoping to drive voters to the polls and elon musk's million dollar promise plus culture wars that gop's a big bet on anti-trans attacks we will keep men out of women's sports who wants sex,

change operations for illegal aliens? >> i will follow the law and it's a law that donald trump actually followed and great stakes. you're in michigan? yes, what we do here new reporting and whether control of the senate it could come down to michigan. it's always been a hotbed and it continues to be habit inside politics. >> the best reporting from inside the quarters of power starts now >> welcome inside politics sunday, i'm manu raja just 16 days to go. and kamala harris and donald trump in their surrogates have been barnstorming the key battlegrounds and delivering starkly different closing arguments as heroes ramps up, her attacks, trump at a rally last night outside pittsburgh, veered into uncharted waters, spending the first 12 minutes and 23 seconds of a profanity laced speech, talking not about politics, but the late golfing

legend or a palmer who hailed from the area and then referred to his job genitals arnold palmer was all man and i say that it all due respect to women. >> i love women when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. they said, oh my god morning with both candidates at this critical moment. >> let's start with danny freeman with the trump campaign in pennsylvania. so danny trump's campaign rallies have gotten more vulgar and really more unwieldy as we and getting to the final days here, what are you hearing from the campaign really was quite the event yesterday, in particular in latrobe, pennsylvania. >> that's in the western part of the state, as you noted at times, that event was rambling. there was that long anecdote about arnold palmer. then at times it was vulgar, specifically when describing vice president harris's time in

the biden ministration ends, including a profane colin response of sorts with the crowd. now, the former president did talk about things like inflation, immigration, and bringing jobs back to america. but as you noted in this lead at manu, the focus still was incredibly scattered and the challenge the challenging part about that for the campaign is that a senior trump adviser tells us that this pennsylvania swing really is supposed to mark the beginning of closing arguments. so we'll see if the former president can stay on topic, stay on some of the issues that his campaign wants to be talking about in these it's next coming days, certainly weeks before election day. now, what we're expecting to see today, manu is the former president, is going to, in his words, work the french fry essentially work the fry or to mcdonald's back here in the commonwealth. he is also expected to go to philadelphia, hold a roundtable with black folks in philadelphia at a barbershop and then have rally here later so pennsylvania later this afternoon. >> all right. we will see what happens later today. danny freeman. thank you. and meanwhile, kamala harris, who turned 60 today, is spending

the weekend in michigan and georgia. eva mckend is in son chris georgia. eva, have we seen any shift in harris his tone in the final days? >> well, mano, i can tell you that the vice president has been intentional in terms of characterizing the former president as unfit and unhinged and that of course, is a very different argument than if you agree with her on every policy matter. so clearly they are trying to create an opening here for voters who may similarly agree with her that some of the behavior that the former president is exhibiting illustrates, in their view that he should not return to the white house, but also key to the strategy here in georgia is appealing to black voters. that is why she is going to address that's new birth missionary baptist church today we're expecting an animated surface as pastor jamal bryant is just that. then she heads over to jonesborough where stevie wonder will be at a souls to the polls event. but listen,

this is not an entirely performative exercise for the vice president. she grew up in the black faith tradition, and now she is leaning on these communities to help her turn out the vote here mono in georgia, more than 1 million people have already voted early alright, eva mckend, thank you for that report. and let's break this all down with my panel, including cnn's alayna treene has nichols from axios, leanne caldwell from the washington post, and astead herndon from the new york times. good morning to you all alright so first we need to discuss this happened yesterday. okay. so down trump, this is supposed to be the big closing argument that pulled up excerpts from the campaign and then it goes off in this 12 minute plus story about honor palmer, he starts talking about his manhood and just a sense of just some of the concerns that that are out there from some of the trump allies. this is what david urban, who's a cnn contributor, wrote to trump, also a trump adviser, told michael bender of the new york times is i don't think anyone

is really changing their mind at this point, but when he distracts from his biggest broadest message, it is counterproductive because the harris campaign payne uses it to turn out their voters luck. donald trump's rhetoric actually in the last couple of weeks, i think has been notably more all over the place it's been darker. he's been leaning in more into painting that really dark picture of america. he's been using more profanity clearly that speech last night, that little anecdote about arnold palmer was a little all over the place. he paused and let the crowd scream a curse word back on him. i mean, it was a lot. clearly, his base loves this stuff. i mean, when i'm at these rallies, they go wild for these types of stories. all of that, but when it comes to whether it's helping him or not luck, i mean, at this point in the race, and this is what i hear from my conversations with donald trump's advisers. he's not changing, he's kind of leaning in to this part of himself i don't think that

they our really trying to put them in a box anymore. i mean, i think, and we've been talking about this for months now that they were trying to get him to talk more about the economy to focus on the issues, to lean away from some of his more all over the place. rhetoric when it comes, i mean, i don't really know how, right. i think i'm dana. >> i keep i keep talking around the arnold palmer story. anyway, i'll just say though, i think at this point they've kind of given into letting donald trump given to his sometimes worst impulses. >> yeah. i mean, but the question is yes, maybe this is trump. you can write it off and cetera, but then maybe it raises questions about his age and right at a time when people are focusing very closely, especially voters who are just tuning or maybe those small number of undecided voters or people who can be persuaded are listening to this kind of discussion and maybe put off. >> maybe i don't think trump cares, right i'm going there, just he's just made his decision. he's going to be himself and his advisers have stopped trying to constrain them. so that's where we're

at at this final sprint of the campaign is going to be about its big, maybe about tactics on how both sides can rally up their base. the strategies over. now they're just executing their game plan and they've given the ball of donald trump and he's going to run with it and that's the plan. and that's also be my last football metaphor for higher show. maybe the whole early give me and just on harris how she has responded to this is what she said. in atlanta about trump's tendency to say the least, go off script him cannot finish a thought nonsense. i mean, this all comes as harris is starting to have been. i've been of an uptick and her campaign attacks

at khan story actually from earlier this week, harris tweak strategy to call out trump as a threat. that is the headline of their access report. but just our colleague, david wright here at cnn, pulled the numbers on the ad campaign, the ad strategy type of attacks that are coming from the harris campaign towards donald trump. we've seen an uptick in attacks against donald trump's character across the airways, 28% are about its character though to the negative ads compared to the overall picture of funding that is up from 11% back in august. so clearly there, maybe not enough to some democrats maybe they want 80%, right about character, but at least that is the change in these final days here. >> yeah, absolutely. there's been an evolution of kamala harris's campaign in large part because first she had to introduce herself to voters. she had to try to get people to understand and know who she is and what her policies are now in the final stretch, democrats were saying flux, she needs to attack donald trump really hard. and so she has shifted

that campaign to do so. and that's why you talk about her. you see her talking about trump's, which he calls instability or unhinged. but i will say that there are trump's behavior in the last couple of weeks is also making a lot of republicans quite nervous republicans want him to stay on message or just stay off the trail for the most part and do as little as possible so that he does not turn off some of those undecided voters and continue to propel kamala harris's base. >> it mean i mean, just take a step back how about where this race is displayed all of this trump is in the harris poll after poll, it just completely deadlocked. i mean we see it on his averaged the polling from all the battleground state polls have come out in recent days, pretty much every single one of down the line says, no clear leader. yeah, one maybe up by one or two points usually that's well within the margin of error. so this can really go either way and just to look at

a sense of where these campaigns have been spending their time since july 21, just so many, so much time in the battleground states including ten for harris in pennsylvania, 124 trump in pennsylvania as well. but if you're if you will get this question all the time, you probably do. i do. who's going to win this race? we have no idea who's going to win this race. look at the polling right there, but which campaign would you rather be sitting in right now 16 days out from election day? i think that's let me think about the reached a point of zinn with the polling here. >> it's not even helpful past our knowledge to this point. i mean, we all have this margin of error race than we know. it's coming down to this certain set of battleground states. i think folks are emotionally prepared themselves for any outcome, whether it's harris or trump blew out the harris trump close when that's how kind of thinly balanced this all is. but, but the harris campaign has, i think a slightly more expected or

easier task on this and they know that that kind of anti-trump coalition comes out. they've seen it happened in state elections. they've seen it happen in the midterms to kind of core base of who they messages tailored do the anti-trump coalition, the democratic base the independent who have maybe soured over him over the last couple of years. there are betting that that type of person is in the habit of voting in elections. donald trump is trying to turn more of those marginal, low propensity voters into voters. he's trying to bring out a group of people if we, even if we think about you under men, folks who haven't always consistently participated. so the task ahead of him as a little more difficult and i think that is what relates to this kind of age stability question for me, if this was the donald trump before eight years ago, i think we're talking about the candidate who could seize on the desire for change. and they are a little better than we've seen this candidate able we do. his rallies are increasingly meandering. they're increasingly weary increasingly just not i think the level of consistency in terms of

message, not only is advisers when and not only am i think even his own advisers want to see right and so i think that is what is causing kind of a meta slightly answer your question with harris to be honest with you, because i think the task ahead of the trump campaign as one that requires a kind of movement and a candidate that can seize on it. and trump hasn't always been that consistently, but i would say though, is the desire for change in the electorate is such that people have been projecting that feeling onto trump, even if he isn't making that argument themselves, it just to look out of their people but who could change their mind, who are those people if this a question from a have fox news poll, 21% of independence could change their vote still, there potentially some universe of voters, i pretend to be open-minded about a lot of thing right? i mean, like that 21% is actually fairly, like it's like a figure skeptical color, you skipped every one of your kids asked you, is there a chance we can do this and you say maybe but you know what the real answer is, right? and that, that to me is those 21%. but again, and i

like you know, the amount of saturation out there on the airwaves. it's just it's impossible for me to believe that there's still undecided voters in scranton, pennsylvania. it's just it's just hard for me to accept that, but i'll accept that. i'll be opened. the fact that could be wrong, i guess the question is you know, getting obviously turnout will talk about a little about that more, but will those, maybe they're not undecided, but they're undecided about actually showing up and voting. no, absolutely. i do actually, i kind of disagree to be honest, because when i'm on the road, there's a lot of people i think and not to put, but when i'm talking to voters on the ground, i think there are a lot of people who are undecided, a lot of people are still very unsure of harris, granted, i mainly go to trump rallies, but i think there's lot of people who really don't like trump the man. i actually hear this from donald trump's team all the time, particularly when we're talking about like women voters, suburban women in particular, obviously a demographic that they're very trying to aggressively court right now in this final few weeks. but they say they don't like trump the man, but they do think that they'll end up coming out for him for his policies and i do think when it

comes to a lot of with harris, i think a lot of people are still unsure about whether or not she represents that change or if she is not the change because she's been in the white house for the past couple of years, so i don't know. i guess we'll see what i'm saying. >> let me just correct alayna's right. i'm wrong because she's done real reporting later is right. maybe we all can agree on that as he's done for drop elon musk pledges of 1 million a day to pennsylvania voters would help and eagle john had that's seven eastern wow incredible amazing. my go-to is loomer fbi eye drops, luma phi dramatically reduces redness in one minute and you look at the difference. >> my eyes, the brighter and wider for up to eight hours, loomer phi, it's kind of amazing. see for yourself at verizon, every phone can be the new iphone 16 pro with apple

enrollment period and december 7 so ask yourself, do you have the coverage you are you getting all the things you want and need from your medicare plan? maybe i don't even know what kinds of things are available to you. >> that happens. >> medicare can be confusing. >> do you know about medicare part c plans also called medicare advantage a part c plan could help you save money and include additional benefits that sounds pretty good, right but plans and benefits can be different based on the zip code you live in. and medicare plans can change every year and enrollment in a part c plan is not automatic this could all be a little overwhelming. >> so take a deep breath and called a number that is up on the screen. >> now with one phone call, you can get your questions answered and see if there are changes to your plan in the coming year or if there's a 20 medicare advantage plan available to you in your zip code with

getting by with a little help from his friends with very, very deep pockets. elon musk in particular, the world's richest person, suddenly a regular presence on the trail and holding to pennsylvania rallies for trump last night, making a new financial play to voters and sign his petition. the quote to support the first and second amendments awarding $1 million to randomly to people who have signed signed a petition every day from now until the election. >> tonight's person is john prayer >> john had no, no idea now, musk's new super pac, america pac is responsible for funding a hefty percentage of trump's ground operation recently spending more than $100 million on his behalf and get this musk's money along with the cash from two other billionaires, miriam adelson, it richard uihlein, total

roughly 220 i mean, million dollars so far. my panel is back to discuss you've been covering ground game operations on the ground it with some of the organizers here. what impact is elon musk having at this? stage of the campaign? >> well, it's hard to know other than the kind of attention seeking aspect. we know that musk has sought to make himself a main character of this election in a lot of different stages. i think he's succeeding now, turning is kind of a consistent praise for trump and kind of pivoting for trump one line or two. >> a real life for now, with this, this attempt, and we know this american back its funding a portion of the ground operation there soon could conflicting reports about how successful that's been but it's not as if even the quote unquote ground operation is really where trump is making his kind of, i biggest pitch, because there's so much money in the air because his name recognition is so high. i don't think there's going to be won or lost on the doors. like did spend last weekend with trump campaign volunteers in georgia and they were making

a place specifically for those lower propensity voters they were targeting folks who had not come out four years ago and they thought would be more open to trump and it's given them more confidence in states that i think have a big pocket of those folks. and i was a question i was asking is why someone more likely to vote for him now than they were in 2020 the part and it goes back to what alayna was saying earlier. they can see the idea that folks don't like him as a person. i think the realities of the biden administration, particularly on inflation, crime, and immigration, have made those people more motivated and change. and i think that is the core of what this ground an operation is based on. they concede, we don't like donald trump from the start in just on musk's promise to urge people to vote giving them, i'm $1,000,000 pledge if they sign this petition, some people don't think that's legal, including one legal expert, rick hasen, news studies, election law, saying that this is illegal according to him and just what has musk been saying on the campaign trail, let's take a

listen from what he's been talking about in pennsylvania in the last couple of days democratic party will not put hardened criminals in prison and so they roam free and they prey upon year and your kids and your family and your friends. >> as always, sort question of like, say the dominion voting machines at it it's weird that i think there used in philadelphia and in maricopa county but not in a lot of other places that seem like a heck of a coincidence. students, if we have four more years of this, we're going to fully mad max, you know like all for as nice to watch a bad next movie we, don't want to be in the mad max movie okay, so peddling those bogus questions about election fraud, this is what dominion said in response, dams that it does not serve philadelphia county. >> it says that vin may voting systems dominion are already based on voter verified paper ballots, despite what elon musk's they are in said that's about hand-count in audits of such paper ballots

and repeatedly proven that dominion voting machines provided produced accurate results as the statement from dominion so what elon musk said at that rally is reminiscent of what elon musk says on his social media platform x, on a daily basis where all the agra algorithms and ensure that everyone who opens the website sees elon musk peddling conspiracy theories about a whole sorts of things, including this election. >> and so you know, astead, you're absolutely right that elon musk has tried to make himself central into this campaign. so many ways, starting with ron desantis being instrumental and doing the first interview with ron desantis announced his running for the for republican primary and elon musk, who knows what sort of commitments donald trump has made to eat on musk? should donald trump win, that's my question. what's in it for musk? i don't know right like he gets he gets to i mean, like trying to figure out side deals. let me just say i

don't think he wants to be ambassador to paris, right? that's probably not decide deal he wants, but donors to get confirm. yeah donors always have asks like that. like part of it's part of the american political system that donors have asked and we rarely find out what they are but he clearly, as you said, wants to be front and center and he seems to be enjoying himself. >> well, he did also. >> donald trump has already said, and he has agreed to run that government officials, gray up program that donald trump said he will put musk in his cabinet all these things, a couple of things though about this relationship because i'm fascinated by donald trump's session with elon musk, which it is like he talks in private about elon musk all the time. and i can tell you that donald trump also thinks that having someone like elon musk, who started space acts who now runs x, formerly twitter has tesla. like he thinks that that is one of the biggest compliments he said, he tries to say at rallies, i was at that rally in butler when donald trump had put them out on the trail for the first time and elon musk

came out and spoke that, look this billionaire, this man who is so smart, voting for me, obviously, all of you should be too. so that's where a lot of this is coming from. but when i talked to donald trump's campaign, they argue that having musk out there is actually helping with what you were saying a said which is trying to turn out these low propensity voters, people who are apolitical, they can doing these podcasts and lauded some young men in particular, they've been obviously there are critical segment in this voting in the cycle will really determine the election. and this all comes as trump, of course, is trying to show that he is the every man he's going to mcdonald's later date. he said to quote, work the french fries, that's in bucks county, pennsylvania. that's trump's court is going to go to mcdonald's to work the french fries. we'll see how that turns out. all right, next, what trump and his allies spending tens of millions on something most voters say is not he top priority trans, gender operations all over the place with men playing in women's sports
