station or even a different planet. >> there's so much that changes when you're actually in microgravity. that's not how we evolved but i think that really just underscores the importance to me of the research we are doing, the data, we're collecting. they can then feed into how do we solve some of these challenges? how do we enable so many more people to get to space it's that sort of research and data that might lead to another giant leap for mankind. >> dr. sanjay gupta, cnn reporting gupta, there and thank you for joining me today. i'm rahel solomon, cnn newsroom continues with jessica dean right now i'm jessica dean in new york.

>> we are nine days out from allies election day in america over 40 million ballots have been cast with early voting underway in many states across our nation that includes battleground, georgia, and north carolina, which have both seen record turnout so far as well as pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan happening right now in new york city, a rally at madison square garden he's a former president trump. you see there elise stefanik. he will also be joined by running mate jd vance, one time presidential hopeful, rfk jr. again congresswoman elise stefanik, who's going to join us a little bit later on this show. and billionaire elon musk, vice president harris is in philadelphia getting out the vote in some more intimate settings. this meeting people in a church, a barbershop, and a bookstore her running mate tim walz, is in las vegas. in the week ahead, harris will head back to michigan north carolina, and nevada while it has stopped scheduled and wisconsin and georgia. as you can imagine, it is an all hands on deck moment as the race for the white house remains a

toss-up cnn's poll of polls showing it is just simply too close to call for more. we go to cnn's kristen holmes, who is with the trump campaign at madison square garden of christen a huge turnout there. this is a homecoming of sorts for trump a rally at his hometown with his name in the bright lights of the msg marquee. tell us more about why he's picking it this venue and what their strategy is here. >> just wanting to do this now for several months, referring to it as donald trump's plane the garden, which is how you generally refer to someone because at madison square garden time to get this book, he didn't think it was going to work out because of the fact that york is such a political place liberal leaning political place, and also just the dates and time of it. but here we are. >> now you have to remember one thing, donald trump's team really doesn't believe at the end of the day it matters entirely where he is the we're in the deep-blue state of new york they believe this is a national media episode of people are going to be taking it as a across national media.

>> blackboard was as we are as well as the biggest media market in the world. we are trying to reach those people as well. for donald trump, this is, as you said, somewhat of a homecoming. so despite the fact it's not in a swing, say something that's incredibly important to him. the other thing and to keep in mind here is how much money they're actually raising from this event damage, selling packages needs store to take pictures with donald trump. they sold the suites here he access to the former president, they're actually treating this essentially like a second oren. listen speakers at very similar to what we saw at the rnc as we get into this final week of campaigning ahead of the actual election of your curious what some of the people here are listening to for richard hurt somebody say the kamala harris, the devil, one other person today, the anti christ, and one person before to puerto rico and they floating island of garbage. so it gives you a little bit an idea of what the tone is here in madison square garden. donald trump again, expected to speak roughly

within the next hour. we'll see if he holds to that timing, but wait. what his closing messages as he kicks off the final week of this campaign before election day and kristen, what new york is a blue state when it comes to presidential politics, trump? >> lost new york by more than 20 points in 16 and in 2020. but there are some key house races here that are quite competitive. oh, what do they think about just in terms of being in new york state and what impact they could have here well, obviously, if you ask donald trump, who has long said that he could win new york, he thinks that new york might still turn red. now if you ask any republican operatives who actually we work in the state, or even if some of his senior advisers, they say that's not happening. but what they do hope is going to happen is that there is some enthusiasm from republicans that drives them out to the polls from the former president that might help with some of those york house seats that are particularly more vulnerable areas. donald trump, actually was on the phone last night doing a tele town hall with at least sonic as you mentioned, as well as some of these vulnerable lawmakers trying to

boost them up, trying to reach out to voters to get them to hit the polls for these people as well. we'll see if it works. notably though justice yes, even though this is part of the strategy, none of them are slated to speak today, whether or not it's actually helps boost those numbers will wait and say, yeah, i think that is an important data point for everyone to remember and keep in mind. all right, kristen holmes for us in new york city. thank you so much for that. let's go to philadelphia now. or kamala harris just wrapped up an event with voters at a local community center there. her speech capping a busy day in philly for the vice president that began with a visit to a local church included a stop by a barbershop, a black-owned bookstore, and a puerto rican restaurant. then she toured a youth basketball facility let's go now to priscilla alvarez, who is traveling with the harris campaign what have you heard from her today? >> priscilla what was notable about the vice president's remarks here at this community

center in philadelphia, is that chief focus less on onboard president? >> donald trump and attacking his policies and proposals or what he has said as of late, instead, she focused on some of the broader themes of her campaign. for example, unifying voters and unifying americans and building a broad coalition of voters. as she also sought to mobilize those voters and encourage those in the crowd to essentially help in that process. now, the vice president is also keenly aware as is her team that this state is crucial and one that they are trying to lock down as they try to fortify the blue wall of pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. and she spoke about that path of path to victory great while here, take a listen because the election is here and the choice. >> philly is truly in your hands the path to victory runs right through all the leaders who are here

said that it was quote, one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes again, trying to urge but voters to go out to the polls. >> now, this concluded what was a long day of multiple stops. again, as you mentioned, going through that church service, the barbershop a bookstore, and here at this community center and a puerto rican restaurant, all of this trying to court the black and latino vote part of an effort by the camp payne again, to locked down their coalition as they blitz or they kick off this final blitz to election day. jessica and priscilla, the campaigning continues even tonight. during the nfl game between the eagles and the bengals with dueling ads that have been airing during the game. the gender gap is real. the latest cnn whole showing that trump has the support of 51% of men harris, 45%. what more do you know about the ad from the harris camp while there certainly

trying to amplify their message and capitalizing on these moments, for example, as you mentioned playing these ads over the course of the game in tailoring the ads for the markets, of course, this ad that you mentioned has a lot of mentions of phillies and it is one that again, they're trying to use to convey the vice president's message. >> and that's really what they'll neck next few days are going to be. they want her team, they want to tap into some of the good vibes that they have i'd early on in the campaign, bring that back. while also trying to continue to draw that stark contrast with former president donald trump and continue to issue their warnings of a potentially central second trump term. but to do that, they're having to increase exposure of the vice president and her message, one of the ways they're doing that, of course, is through ads and playing them during these big moments. but it's also making sure that she's on the campaign trail. often. and what we have seen most recently is

he's almost daily gaggles with reporters traveling with the vice president where she is rapidly responding to former president donald trump's. so all of that together as part of this strategy by the harris campaign to stay front and center and continue to feature some of their issues prominently in the closing days of the election all right. >> priscilla alvarez on the trail in philadelphia. thank you so much for that report. according joining us now is senior political analyst and senior editor at the atlantic. ron brownstein. ron, good to see you jessica. new york, not typically a stop for candidates nearly a week out from election day. but the trump campaign, as we heard kristen holmes report, is betting that voters in all of the battleground states are going to hear about this, that this is a national well eyes race when it comes to the media. i just first want to get your thoughts on this event yeah. well, it's not only voters. voters in general in the battleground states but given trump's focus on trying to reach low propensity voters, especially men this kind of

splashing national event i think has a better chance of breaking through to those kind of voters and say a 6:00 hit on the local news and green day or saginaw. so in that sense, it makes sense for him, but it is like many things trump does a two-edged sword because the inevitable echoes of his rally with other far-right rallies, it matters where garden in history a pro-nazi rally before world war ii, the george wallace rally in 1968 is exactly the kind of messaging inadvertent messaging. and his case that harris needs to try to activate the voters at the edge of what democrats call the anti maga a coalition so like many things he does, it is something that could, could benefit him and inspire at least as much of a counter reaction. >> yeah, we see that so often with him. i also just want to drill down on something that kristen was talking about. just the fact that important and tight house

seats, house races that are happening in new york state that really matter when you're, when you're, when the republicans are trying to hang on to the house and yet none of these people are going to be on stage with trump. and it seems like that tells us a lot yeah i'm a little surprised that at least one of them you know, out on long island might not not might not be there in a district that trump won. but the fact is that those districts in new york, like the districts in california that are also going to be critical in determining the outcome of the house are being fought almost entirely in districts that voted for biden four years ago. and so republicans are trying to surmount the underlying lean. it's possible trump might run better in some of them than he did four years ago, but still, the control of the house is largely being decided in the roughly 17 districts. i think it is that republicans hold that voted for biden in 2020 you don't see really many of those candidates trying to link to closely to trump. >> and i just want to turn to the harris campaign because

she's planning for this final message in washington, d.c. at the ellipse where trump, of course very memorably spoke out before january 6, right before the insurrection. there on the capitol what do you make? of that choice? and clearly the closing argument as james carville said to me, that he thought the closing argument yesterday, he said should be it's the constitution stupid. do you think that is that is it? that is the closing argument for her? >> well i think there's an enormous debate among democrats about whether she should close by focusing on the unique threats that the trump has openly articulated to the american constitutional system of government today, his running mate agreeing with him that mainstream democrats are a greater threat to the country than foreign adversaries like north, north korea. so on the one hand, you've got democrats who want to emphasize that, and that is a message aimed primarily at white college all our suburban college educated voters, they're the ones who respond most to it. and the related arguments about trump as a threat to rights, particularly abortion. then you

have the other camp of democrats who say she has to emphasize bread and butter issues to try to reel back some of the voters of color who have moved away from, from democrats over discontent about the economy me and maybe more working-class white women voters who are more economically squeezed. i think she's actually come up with a pretty effective bridge of that with this one line that she says, donald trump will come into office again with an enemies list. i will come into office with a to-do list for you. and i think that is a pretty elegant way of bridging those two arguments. i suspect that that's what we're going to hear from her that trump is so consumed by his desire for retribution against all those he thinks that that has wronged him, that he will both threaten the constitution at ignore your needs, your daily needs on everything from health care to home health home held for seniors i have to prescription drugs and along those lines, you wrote a piece for the atlantic this week about what is called the improbable coalition of voters that could

help harris win the white house and i just want you to walk us through what that might be. yeah look, i mean, if you think about where we are in 2024 the extent to which the ferocity with which the trump campaign has portrayed harris as an out-of-touch extremist coastal liberal leads me to think it is not unreasonable that he will reform even better than he did in 2020 and trump country small town, rural exurban america, where most of the voters are non-college whites, many of them religiously traditional. he is putting enormous effort which you see her trying to rebut today into cracking. however, first slightly, the democratic the towering traditional democratic margins in the inner cities places like philadelphia, detroit, and milwaukee. >> and atlanta. she's still going to win the vast majority of those votes. but this pincer movement from trump trying to cut away at the democratic vote

from two direction, really leaves to me he has a critical battlefield, these large populous, racially diverse inner suburbs outside the major cities montgomery, delaware chester, and box outside philadelphia, oakland, outside detroit, kent county, which includes a grand rapids, the so-called wow counties outside of the walkie and gain county, which madison. these are the places that are adding the most population in the states. they are places that have moved toward the democrats. they are the places, as we said, who may be most receptive to the arguments about rights and values that harris is hitting entities highly likely that harris is going to have to run i think even better than biden did in 2020 in these places in order to hold michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, which still by far represent her best opportunity when the white house and something probable coalition is you have largely economically struggling inner city nonwhite voters and pretty comfortable suburban mostly white voters whose lives

intersect very rarely any other contexts except that they both have reasons to stick with the democrats and opposed donald trump, whether that's enough to hold those states will probably determine who our next president will be that is truly fascinating and we're going to find out in just under two weeks. >> all right. ron brownstein, as always, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks, abby coming up here in the cnn newsroom, i'm going to talk to former atlanta mayor and senior adviser to the harris-walz campaign keisha lance bottoms. >> and next which is date he's to go until election day. how often will we be seeing president biden out on the campaign trail political analysis. you have questions. >> biden said the right both stay awake. why did trump pulled out of a 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out moos network of i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn see idp disrupts the idp derails.

passions we were made to put them in a package election night in america, special coverage begins tuesday, november 5 at four on cnn president biden making where stops on the campaign trail for harris in recent weeks. and it may have something to do with this. cnn's poll of polls showing vital biden's approval rating at just 38%. of course, the trump campaign trying to capitalize on this, trying to connect harris to biden and to his policies. >> here's a new ad from them everything she was the deciding vote for his disastrous economic agenda cnn, sunlen serfaty is joining us now with more insulin. >> what more can you tell us about this dynamic? >> he had jessica, it's so interesting to watch these higher profile surrogates where they go, how they are deployed in the final weeks of the

campaign, really tells us everything about the strategy of the candidate at that moment. and for president biden he's certainly an interesting spot with those approval ratings as you mentioned and we are seeing him really strategically deployed, but having very limited engagements since he dropped out of the campaign and a few months ago earlier this year, from what we know about his schedule right now, it seems like this last week will fall very much that same pattern as of now, he's having unfit to official events first in tuesday in baltimore, maryland or president biden will discuss the administration's work, investing in infrastructure and climate crisis. and on friday, the president will travel to philadelphia, pennsylvania. there he will be talking all unions it's no surprise that he is in philadelphia. this is a core the commonwealth of philadelphia battleground states of state that he knows, of course, very well. so of course they are going to deploy him in that key area where you can really connect with words working class voters. we saw

him in pittsburgh yesterday. we went right after president trump he's about, making sure he pushes people down. >> he thinks the way you get ahead is push people down donald trump is a loser importantly, in my view, and i'm just going to say straight up, he's losers a man now behind the scenes and biden adviser tells cnn that the former president is working to really ratchet up the fundraising pitches he has made several fundraising calls and several direct-to-camera videos urging grassroots supporters says support as well as making calls to labor committee. so again, the harris campaign is strategically using president biden in this final stretch will be interesting. jessica, to see if he adds any more events to his schedule. >> certainly. alright. sunlen serfaty for us in washington, d.c. thank you so much and tonight, former president trump holding a rally at the world

granted. take a listen thank. thing about living in a democracy as long as we keep it is that we, the people have the power to choose the direction of our country and its leadership power about this former atlanta mayor and senior adviser to the harris-walz campaign and keisha lance bottoms, mayor, great to have you here. thanks so much. >> great to join you in these final nine days. i think we're starting to see the vice president really come together on her closing message. it it would certainly centers around what she calls trump's threat to democracy. and also reproductive rights. do you expect to see more of that? and what can we expect to hear from her as she tries to close close this with voters we will

continue to hear the vice president make the case as to why she should be elected president. >> what the differences between she and donald trump and i just encourage people to pay attention to which what each of these candidates are saying the vice president talked about how she will move our country forward, how she will help people with those kitchen table issues that we're all talking about from her down payment assistance of $25,000 to first-time homebuyers to the $6,000 tax credit for those having children for the first time. and then contrast that with what you are hearing for donald trump, the vice president said that she's going to talk about her to do list while donald trump is talking about his enemy list, who he is going after, who he intends to sic the military, the national guard upon when he thinks that he will serve again, serve as president of the united states. so we will

see the vice president continued to be the adult in the room while donald trump will continue to do what he does best and that is to insult people and to disparage our country at this point, the campaign is in full, get out the vote mode, early voting well underway. i know we've seen record turnout and your home state of georgia, trump has done well when it comes to motivating voters who don't usually vote and haven't usually voted in the past, these low propensity voters can, can harris outperform trump? and really do well. and what can she do to kind of overcome that well, we know that there are a lot of issues that impact directly people in georgia. >> we have a six-week abortion ban in georgia. we've heard the vice president speak the name of amber nicole thurman others young mother who died from complications of an abortion because her medical care was delayed and an

independent state board set that her death was preventable. and we know that's been a direct result of doctors being confused and unwilling to provide by treatment for fear of prosecution. so what we will continue to see, again, people in georgia paying attention we know that there has been a record turnout on both sides. this election cycle of what i believe is happening is that we are seeing republican voters who are turning how early, who normally wait until election day because we know that donald trump has is now encouraging people to early vote. so we still got a lot of people out there who still have not voted have an opportunity to vote. and it's going to be a turnout game between early voting, the end of this week, and then of course it's on election day are you concerned about president biden's low favorability rating right now we have him polling at only 38% in our poll of polls.

>> do you think that that her terrace i absolutely don't think that it hurts vice president harris. we've heard people talk about these supposed low favorability ratings for the president during the midterms. and we see how that turned out on the vice for the president biden is still very regarding but by democrats, especially across the state of georgia and they have a very strong record that they have accomplishes directly benefited people in this state and across this country. i served as mayor of atlanta while donald trump was president it was chaotic to say the lease, we couldn't look to the white house for any support, any guidance during covid on this very trying time for people across this country when over 1 million people died in this country and i was not able to exhale until the biden-harris administration

came in and said, look, kim we do to help you, not work against you. so i believe that president biden is still very well regarded by people across this country. and i think that vice president harris will obviously run on what she will do for this country, but i don't think that president biden is going to hurt her in the least bit. >> all right. former mayor keisha lance bottoms. thank you so much for being here thank you and former president trump is expected to take the stage just moments from now at madison square garden will be back in just a moment. >> the source with kaitlan collins weeknights at nine this is a story of the one it doesn't just see a broken door. >> he sees words stole to a halt. thankfully, he has granger offering the scale to deliver fast call, click granger.com or stopped by granger for the ones who get it done. >> if you're 50 or over, you can be taken advantage of everything aarp has to offer

>> both milley and keli have made headlines for sharply criticizing the former president. each describing him as a facet a fascist who would endanger the country. retired us navy admiral james stavridis is joining us now he's the former supreme allied commander of nato and the author of the new novel the restless wave admiral. thanks so much for being here with us my pleasure. >> jessica, you've been watching this whole thing play out publicly. i just first want to get your thoughts on what you're seeing, both from the comments from million kelly and then trump and jd vance's reaction to them and his allies he lies well, i'll start with what i know and i know john kelly, i've known him for 40 years. we served as junior officers together. i watched his family grow up, including his son, robbie, who was killed under my command in afghanistan john kelly is true, straight,

honest. he's a rock solid bostonian, a hero of the united states of america. he doesn't lie. mark milley, i don't know as well, but i've known mark for close to 20 years. he's a former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff he served under my command as a one-star in afghanistan. i know him to be true, direct straight coincidentally, a fellow bostonian to john kelly, these are two very straightforward individuals, and i'll close with this. jessica they spent not minutes not hours. or not days. not months. both of them spent years around president trump i take great stock in what they had to say about him and i'm curious and because you do know john kelly, so well we've heard the former president talk very openly about what he describes as the enemy within people here in

america, americans that he thinks are more frightening and more potentially threatening than our enemies that exists just outside in the world and he is named various politicians, but he's also posted on truth, social that he would he would investigate and go after anyone that he he thought was an enemy from within. do you think john kelly and mark milley yourself, anyone might be concerned that my be targeted if president trump were to get back in office i think any idea that we would, as a nation used political power to go after our domestic enemies on to frighten all of us. >> and let's go back to the u.s. military. the u.s. military swears an oath, not to the president as commander in chief. we certainly respect that office, but the oath that has sworn by every officer in the armed forces is to the

constitution of the united states. we are, must be. and i hope, and i believe always will we'll be a nation of laws that is critical. our military will crisis and also while we have you here, when a broaden out our conversation internationally, and i want to ask you about israel directly striking back at iran this weekend. >> of course, that was a long promised retaliation to iran's attacks on israel on october 1. what is your thought on where this conflict is right now, especially that in that ensuing time period, israel killed yahya sinwar, the head of hamas it's a very good place at the moment for the israelis. >> they've had three months of unbroken success going after, as you point out, yahya sinwar the extra rubble leader of hamas. now dead too much blood

on his hand. stephen measure, including american blood, they have a struck successfully against iran iran has tried to strike them with very little effect again and again, you see, israel moving militarily as to where it goes from here, jessica i think and let's hope this is true, that things will now settled down from this cycle of violence we've seen the iranians don't seem to have the stomach for another round of significant retaliation. israel has been clear that they feel this most recent set of strikes are sufficient, at least for the moment. combat operations are winding down in gaza, they're continuing in hezbollah to the north but i think the hard calm that is going to be measured. i hope in a few more months in this thing will not widen into a true total regional war. i think the chances of this settling down

or about 80% at this point still worrisome. but i think better than where i might have predicted a month ago. >> yeah, not there's there has been so much that has happened just even the last month and then in ukraine, we know that ukrainian officials are saying north korean troops could begin flight fighting alongside russian forces as soon as this weekend, it really underscores these growing ties between those two countries. and again, taking it back to iran as well. these, these countries are really, we see them working together a lot. what do you make specific? difficulty though, of these north koreans who will be fighting on behalf of the russians i think it's very concerning in terms of actual military manpower. >> know-how discipline these korean troops will probably be at the top end of what kim jong un has produced. and let's

face it, north korea is a one-trick pony. it is a nation that is simply a militarized state. and so these troops which are currently training in russia, will hit the frontlines. i've seen numbers estimated between 3,012 thousand it's a significant military addition to the forces of russia who are losing so many and final thought on this jessica in the midst of worrying about it as we should appropriately, we also ought to reflect that this reflects russian weakness. believe me, vladimir putin doesn't like like the image of him going on bended knee to kim jong un to get troops to keep his offensive going. this a sign of russian weakness, but it could have real impact on the battlefield and just finally, we don't want to let you go without asking you about your new book. >> it's called the restless wave. tell us what inspired you to tell this particular story

winston churchill said, to look to the future, you need to understand the past and thus this book is historical fiction said in the early days of world war ii, love triangles set against the horrors of that early part of the war. >> and it's a way jessica to look back at great power war in the pacific, something that we worry about today between us and china. then us, japan to worry about new technologies sweeping the battlefield as they did in the 1940s. and finally, the human cost of war comes out in the relationships between two young officers and a woman with whom they both fall in love in those early days. >> yeah. so much. yeah. it's it's so true to know about where we are today. you gotta go back and you got to understand the history that came before us. admiral james stavridis. thank you so much for being here. >> thanks, jessica 40 million
