did know a brown washington wins 18 to 15. >> john, coach quinn, the players, the fans, they're all going bonkers, daniels he is scrambled for 40 yards, about 12 seconds in the bag go before launching that. things 65 yards in the air and remember, dances is dealing with a rib injury. it's incredible stuff congrats to coach quinn and all of commanders nation and congrats to your patriots, who's have sent the case further. into the base the pancreas beat the jets. >> there is a team that lost to the patriots and it was the new york yes. what a stunning sunday. it was a great day. it was even want them to win. i want them to get the draft pick, but they, you the gaetz skill still can eke it out all right, coy wire. thank you very much. brand new hour of cnn, new news central starts now
5:01 am
in his hometown and now republicans are trying hard to play cleanup quickly after the fact the harris campaign response counting today to his supporters trashing puerto rico from the stage and hitting the trail this morning. >> harris is with some new support from a big name that bunny the mcdonald's quarter pounder is back on the menu more than 900 restaurants after a deadly e coli outbreak. the one key ingredient though that they are still keeping out. i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner and john berman. this is cnn new central from election day. >> both kamala harris and donald trump will head out this morning two list battleground states just hours after one of trump's largest rallies, bibi huge platform to some of the most racist misogynist. and vogel remarks. we have heard
5:02 am
this election cycle there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now yeah. >> i think it's called puerto rico. >> she is some sick that hillary clinton, huh? what a sick son of a the whole party a punch it degenerates. >> can you imagine? kamala harris performing a random kind, generous act? g is the devil, whoever screamed that out she is the anti-christ. her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country. we need to what are there? other people? they're smart and they are vicious and we have to defeat them. >> and when i say the enemy from within the other side goes crazy, they are indeed the enemy from within of all the thickenings, things that were said trump's campaign has talked about the joke saying the joke about puerto rico does not reflect the views of president trump.
5:03 am
>> let's bring in cnn political director david chalian. david, when you heard all of this rhetoric, what is the one big thing that people need to know about it? today well while i was watching it and my one big takeaway was this is probably if kamala harris's campaign could have designed the takeaways from the madison square garden rally for trump. >> this might be some version that they would have designed because their entire mission in these last they days is to draw a sharp contrast in the minds of american voters as possible to put the choice of these two candidates, their visions, how they present their agendas to the country in as much stark relief as possible. and this fed into that. i also was thinking earlier in the day, donald trump's campaign put out a two-minute ad, they were going to rot. they ran it in football games and nfl game, sara and it was i've watched this ad yesterday morning and i sent it around to our team and
5:04 am
i said, i think there's the most compelling ad of the cycle from the trump campaign. it was the most sort of positive most folks guest on the economy on some issues that his advisers think worked really well for him. it was really succinct. and it was the opposite of the racism misogyny, the nastiness that you see as sort of staples of trump's rallies on the campaign trail in and yet within hours it was back to this. so i just think that this puts clear front and center for the american people, especially those small slice of voters who haven't decided yet what their choices before this election. >> it's certainly does. all right, so there is new cnn polling out this morning. and some of it finds that americans don't think trump will concede if he loses when you look at the numbers that is a huge number of people, 69% saying they don't think he will concede and they don't trust in the supreme court to make the right decision on legal challenges related to the 2020
5:05 am
election. what do you take away from this? >> well, that seems like a pretty toxic brew to me, right? because if you've just talking about the expectations that the american people have, if only 30% of americans think that if donald trump loses, he'll actually concede and yet, a majority don't have faith in the supreme court to properly adjudicate 2024 election related matters. he, just see the kind of environment that the post-election period could have depending on the outcome and where the american people are now with their expectations of that decline in the trust of an institution like the supreme court at precisely the same time that a vast majority of americans don't think one of the candidates would actually i concede a loss in this election that could spell real trouble and davis, of course david harris has been sort of leaning in on her contrasting her character with trump's in the coming days. >> she's smoked to shannon sharpe, who has a podcast and
5:06 am
she's targeting men. let's listen to what they said he said, immigrants are taking black jobs. >> i don't know what those black job that they're taking can you elaborate on that? what the immigrants are taking, what black jobs or it's just another example of him trying to divide and him trying to scare people it's just another example of him doing that of him trying to say it's either you were in them what did you make a vest in this message well, i just first made of the fact that look at what kamala harris and donald trump are doing in terms of how they're trying to reach voters ms fragmented media environment, you gotta go everywhere and slice and dice to where people are because they're not just in the aggregate tuning into the evening news is we know sara so this is to just hear her yes. go make the play for some male voters tried to dig into trump's advantage. there. but shannon sharpe's podcast yes. i mean, who had on their bingo
5:07 am
card as something that a president took in, that would be doing the closing days of the campaign david chalian, it is always a pleasure. >> thanks for breaking it all down for us. >> john, i will note it was national tight ends day. which might explain why she was doing khanna charles podcast. all right with us now cnn, political analyst and historian leah wright rigueur and cnn political analyst jackie kucinich, washington bureau chief for the paper of record, the boston globe. professor, i want to start with you. this rally that we saw donald trump and a lot of trump supporters that yesterday as the new york times described it, racist, massage innes, what did you see out of it? >> i saw the above, but i also saw donald trump showing us who he is and who he will be. and i think it's notable that it happened in new york. in new york city, in madison square garden. this is the place that was trump's home for so long. this is trump towers this is right down the street. it's also a place that has consistently rejected him. in the last two presidential cycles. so for him to at the moment where the candidates are going around the barns
5:08 am
storming, they're hitting the ground running where they're supposed to be making these messages that are bringing people into the party showing that we're inclusive our side is the winning side. instead, what he does this he goes in and he doubled down, he doubles down on what he is most comfortable with. the bigotry, the racism, the misogyny, xenophobia all of these things that have essentially made him who he is and the other thing that's really important here is as we see this playing out, two things to remember. >> one donald trump of all people have been saying, well, they were just joking. >> donald trump has been very upfront about not joking about many of these issues. so the idea that for example, that puerto rico would be a garbage dump haha, that's a joke. actually, we saw that play out at the tail end of hurricane maria went, puerto rico was left in the dark are four months we see these things over and over again, but the other point is, if we, as we come down to the end of the day, was we come down to the end of the race, donald trump is looking around and saying, i haven't been penalized yet. for these
5:09 am
kinds of remarks. in fact, were in a statistical dead tie. so if anything, what he is telling us is that i'm going to lean into the message that i think is a winning message that i think represents both the america that i want to see but also the america that americans want to see. and that is one that is deeply, deeply racist, misogynistic, sexist, and xenophobic jackie david chalian, put it as the professor did, is sort of a different way which is to say that in a way the closing arguments of the two campaigns have aligned. >> i'm getting there the same discussion right now. harris is saying trump is all these things in this rally was trump and his team saying we are all these things >> and the other thing is you had a lot of harris supporters who are celebrities amplifying what trump said to their followers who might not be as watching this on a sunday night as we were so that could be problematic for the trump campaign and listen, they
5:10 am
haven't been shy about their i'd, by any stretch of the imagination, about their message toward immigrants, there was an ad that played twice during trump's speech that was based in fearmongering about immigrants. but i think it's also the but the, the amplification from non-political people could, could actually be problematic. and they knew of the contrast with harris, actually, courting voters of color and philadelphia yesterday in her campaign. >> talk to me, jackie, a little bit more about that. the bad bunny effect as it were bad bunny yesterday, i came after this section of the rally posted on instagram some harris comments at basically harris video about puerto rico. it wasn't bad bunny on camera saying something out loud, but clearly, lending support to harris because it his followers might not necessarily be intruding into the campaign every day
5:11 am
that's why it could be potentially damaging for the trump campaign. >> i mean, you can make light of celebrity endorsements but it's there network. it's their followers where their power is. and when they're circulating these messages that are hurtful and potentially detrimental to persuadable voters, who voters that really both campaigns need. because you, as you know, as you and david chalian and everyone has noted this is coming down to the wire. this is very close in the places where it matters and every vote is going to count in these comments, you would imagine could, could be hurtful. >> so this rally that donald trump had yesterday was a set piece of moves planned for a long time. he wanted to do a specific thing with this harris has a set piece like this tomorrow on the ellipse in washington, d.c. the district of columbia, not a swing state right. >> at all. she clearly wants to send a bigger message hey, there you go. >> we can all talk about that at a certain point. >> but professional, what do
5:12 am
you think harris? needs to do at this event given that there are some of her supporters, future forward pac out there saying, you know what don't talk so much about the fascist stuff, talk about what you're gonna do. >> she needs to make the case to the american people, and she needs to make a case about who she is as a person, but how she would govern what does her vision for america? one of the things that we know about winning presidential candidates is their ability to give a vision. it really concrete vision, a strong vision, a positive outlook, envision a unifying vision two americans and that really has a powerful effect on what you can do. we saw it with barak obama in 2008 and 2012, and we also saw it with joe biden in a moment. we're americans were deeply fed up and very scared about democracy in 2020. so we need to see that. we also need to see, i think a little bit of what we saw from her rally in texas and houston the other day which is we need to see her make a very strong point. points on those areas where that americans are deeply concerned about the economy.
5:13 am
women's rights, reproductive choice, abortion, right? these things that people i have said over and over again, this is where i am suffering. are you listening? do you hear me? and so we need to hear that unless about donald trump because we know what donald trump is. donald trump has done work on that already and so i think what we will see is a doubling down on this kind of outlook, this kind of positive outlook, this vision for america, that is very much rooted in saying, i'm the outsider. i can do something different. i can bring something to america that no one else has been able to bring thus far, we'll be watching, we'll see if she delivers that message, professor, great to see you here in person. jackie kucinich. thanks so much for being with us, sara. >> all right. >> just ahead. new details on the aggressive legal plays by republicans already in the works to cast doubt on the 2024 election results and this morning, iran valley to retaliate to israel strikes as hostage and ceasefire talks resume. after being stalled for
5:14 am
months, and nba all-star dwayne wade it honored by the miami heat with a statue outside the team's arena. but some fans say who is that guy it all comes down to this. we can now make a major projection. >> the way only cnn to bring it to you election night in america, special coverage begins tuesday, november 5 at four on cnn. >> when i started bright star care, i had one focus to provide a higher nurse lead care, right in people's homes that's been my goal for 20 years. and it always will the now, local agencies are looking for experienced nurses and caregivers who have the passion it takes to deliver that higher standard of care

hatred going back thousands of years, it lives in the shadows it's not always swastikas in synagogue shootings. >> it shows up on social media and flyers on frontlines, whatever it shaped the message is hate in the shadow of anti-semitism is growing. it starts with hating jews, but it never ends there. if it stays hidden, it continues to spread, help shine a light on anti-semitism. visit shine a light on.com. and together, let's drive out the darkness if you vote for me, i promise pizza everyday. >> unlimited topics. >> but does the budget even exist for that, ethan, why are we not talking about the fact that my opponent has coatings unprecedented number of lawsuits ahead of the november 5 election. >> more than 130 cases showing not only an aggressive litigation strategy from
5:19 am
republicans targeting voting in various respects in battleground states. but also showing this legal strategy may not be panning out as republicans had hoped, cnn's marshall cohen joins us now with much more on this marshall help people understand what aspects of voting and counting votes are being targeted the most with these lawsuits kate, as you said, more than 130 lawsuits that's how many the republican national committee says they're involved in this year and not without controversy. >> so they have filed cases challenging nearly every element of the election process. mail-in voting signature, matching ballot deadlines, certification procedures for how this is finalized after the election is over, they've also filed cases involving the voter rolls, poll watchers, and for the first time, overseas voting by service members and ex-pats so just in the past week, they secured a major victory in a case in mississippi that's not a swing state obviously in the
5:20 am
ruling won't kick in right away. but this could help the gop in other states that case was about the deadline for when mail ballots need to arrive in order to get counted. a federal appeals court, a conservative appeals court ruled that those ballots must arrive by election day. they can't be postmarked by election day. that was a rare win for the gop. but by and large, most of their other cases have fallen flat. kaye, they have not succeeded in most of this litigation and while republicans are not winning in the courts necessarily, it might not be what happens in the courtroom that's the most important. there's a lot of fears out there that these cases could be used after the election to drum up chaos, tried to overturn the results. of course, if donald trump loses, like we saw four years ago marshall cohen, great to see you. thank you so much. john so we. >> have new numbers this morning that hints that voter
5:21 am
turnout might be lower than expected this election. so who might that help, who might that hurt? >> and this morning, quarter pounders back on the menu at mcdonald's after that deadly e coli outbreak, we've got new reporting on what officials think was the source of the bacteria political analysis you have questions out. biden said the right both stayed awake. >> why did not pull out? hello, 60 minutes. >> i love pulling out losing that word of i got news for you. >> saturday, if not, this is an important message for everyone on medicare right now, is the medicare annual enrollment period. >> and today we are talking about medicare part c, commonly called medicare advantage. if you don't have a medicare part c plan call, now, you may be else hello, jbeil for plans in your zip code with additional benefits or cost savings, you may not be receiving now or that may have previously not been available to you. different parts see plans are available in different parts of the country. so don't wait,

5:26 am
critical youth vote. joining me now is the executive director of the the pa youth vote, angelique hinton. thank you so much for joining me this morning. what are you telling people? what are you hearing from young people about their top concerns? >> so we're hearing a lot of concerns young people are very, very concerned about a lot of issues and so what we're trying to really do through pa youth vote is help them connect the dots between voting and holding leaders accountable. and how that can really have an impact on some of these issues. so, basically, when candidates are going to speak to the issues that young people care about, you will start to see them more excited and much more engaged in this process. >> is it economy, is it we've seen the protests on campuses, the war in gaza. what are the things that are sort of illuminating or sparking there? trust in all honesty, youth and
5:27 am
different regions care about a lot of different things. >> but then you will see some transcend across. so economy is definitely one living affordability, right? minimum wage. those are things they care about. they also care very much about access to education resources, school funding is a big issue here in pennsylvania for young people. and whether or not they have equitable access to resources gun violence is a huge concern or community safety is an issue that people young people in philadelphia care very much about. so it really depends. reproductive rights is something that you have seen transcend across different regions and then things like reproductive rights. so there are a lot of issues that really animate young people, even things like homelessness and housing, insecurity so but again, it really does depend on where you are what top of mind
5:28 am
issues are for the youth were engaging, where you are and what you're experiencing makes total sense. i think all voters who feel that way, vote.org reported that all newly registered voters of all of them on national voters registration date at 1% were under the age of 35, at 11% being 18-years-old to 53% spike from 2020. what do you make the jump in numbers? why do you think that is? >> i mean, i think you have seen right with the shift we do our work very nonpartisan, but i think you'll look at it culturally, right? it has changed dramatically. and so, you know, the issues that are being addressed. but then also kind of culturally what the campaign is looking like. hey who they're bringing into campaign rallies matters very much. and then just the fact that, you you have candidates that are younger, right? like that's something that young people also want to see they really want to see a government
5:29 am
that is more responsive to, but also reflective of themselves and so when they start to see that, that also excites them a lot. so i think that coupled with the issues that have been discussed a lot in this election cycle, are really motivating for young people. and i think you will really see young people turn out in this election they're in pennsylvania, there's a sizable puerto rican population in your state. there were several racist jokes told by a speaker at the trump rally. one calling puerto rico a floating island of garbage. and people like bad bunny, j.lo, ricky martin are now publicly throwing their weight behind kamala harris. do you think this has any influence on young voters when people bad bunny, he's got 45 million followers jump in and say, hey, this is who we like again, culturally right? these are people that young people
5:30 am
maybe follow, right? or admire. so i think maybe in an election cycle, like we have right now, that may be something that will incite some young voters about turning out or really, you know, inspire them. but what we like to do really at p a ufo is again, really provide the education that connects the dots for them between the issues they care about to ensure that they understand the importance of participating in this process in every election cycle. so to answer your question, yes but if we're really looking to engage young voters long term, we really need to make the investment and helping make sure that all of them are getting educated about how all of this works and really how it's connected to being able to address issues that they care about from a policy perspective. >> the ones that matter to them, angelique hinton. thank you so much for coming on and explaining all that to us from pennsylvania very important swing state, appreciate it. okay the trump campaign, just a
5:31 am
valid what one speaker said from the stage at his big rally. >> new york last night were just talking about trashing puerto rico up next, congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez joins us live to respond. >> and the miami heat unveiled a statue to honor nba great dwayne wade. the only problem is it has many including wait him still asking who is that get it. >> was that god you covered? >> no matter the question? that's jin from more about the candidates to rules in your state, to casting your ballot. the cnn voter handbook has your answers. visit cnn.com slash vote i started bright star care to provide a higher standard of care. it's been my goal for 20 years and it always will be if you're an experienced caregiver with that same passion join the brand that support it's you most ever worry that you're drinking too

5:36 am
the trump campaign is playing cleanup, trying to distance the campaign and the candidate from comments made from the stage at his big rally yesterday here in new york, comedian tony hinchcliffe was among the warm-up acts to speak. >> and here's what he said i welcome migrants to the united states of america with open arms and by open arms, i mean like this these latinos, they love making babies to just know that they do. >> they do. i don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean, right? >> now yeah. i think it's called puerto rico democratic congresswoman from new york, alexandra ocasio-cortez. thanks for being here you called this out last night. you're straight you're hanging out with tim walz who guys were streaming. you call it out last night? fresh eyes on it this morning when you see
5:37 am
that remark and you see now that comedian responding to you guys, i'll read a bit of it for you. i know you've seen it, but for everyone out there, these people have no sense of humor while the device presidential candidate would take time out of his busy schedule to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist i love puerto rico and vacation there. i made fun of. i made front of everyone watch the whole set. i'm a comedian, tim might be time to change your tampon is what he ends it with. what do you, what does it mean today? what does it do today? >> you know, this honestly isn't really about a comedian. this about the trump campaign. this, those comments and that individuals hang those things on that stage inciting an entire arena of individuals who had been previously incited to commit a tax, like the ones we saw on january 6 by people like donald trump. none of that was an accident these campaign events are put together. they are vetted, that language was
5:38 am
vetted by the trump campaign, that that person was approved by the trump campaign because he is speaking on behalf of the trump campaign. and i think it's really important that people understand that. will we see everything that's happening? what is being transmitted instead about latinos in the united states is exactly what the trump campaign means. he believes that latinos, as we've seen, are an unimportant on valued and unnecessary part of the united states of america. and when stephen miller comes on and talks about america for americans, he's not even talking about us citizens as americans because stephen miller kind of flirts with this idea of taking us citizenship from people depending on his own personal opinions about what being an american means. and so the trump campaign is very clearly transmitting who they believe is an american who they, who they don't, not based on citizenship, but based on ethnicity and based on their opinion of donald trump your
5:39 am
family from puerto rico you're this is not the first time that donald trump has said disparaging things or uninformed things about puerto rico or those around him. >> what did you think when you first heard it last night? you know under the trump administration over 3,000 puerto rican died due to donald trump's intentional neglect of the island after one of the worst natural disasters and hurricanes in american history. street and the history of the entire western hemisphere people in puerto rico, were left without, without power for up to a year, over a year. so there's really nothing that's an accident about what was said last night. it is an authentic depiction of how donald trump believes and what he thinks about puerto rico. he even talked about selling puerto rico and brought up the idea of selling puerto rico. and he was president united states this is
5:40 am
what these people believe, and it's not a joke. how do you square then when we look back at the numbers and the gains he has made with latino voters since 2016, from 2016, depending what you're looking at, what the numbers now, you see a nine-point gain you've seen harris getting, i've seen 12 points fewer than hillary clinton got in 2016, seen some recent gains in some new polling just out yesterday that she's making with latino voters. how do you explain it? how do you explain, that trump is making ground with latinos. >> you know, i think ironically it's because he realized that he needed to keep his mouth shut with his bigotry for a very long period of time in order to try to make some kind of disingenuous case into to the latino community. >> but the fact you don't believe him when he speaks to it party, you don't you said disingenuous. you do not think when he speaks to latino voters, when he speaks speaks to helping them, helping when he's in nevada speaking to workers, you know, i mean, you don't you don't insinuate
5:41 am
that latinos are un-american? can or less american if you actually value them, he wants to be present, united states, he'll say what he needs to say, but at the end of the day, when you look at what kamala harris does, she actually ironically unveiled her platform and plan for puerto rico? yesterday before that rally even started. and that plan involves actually addressing the displacement crisis that puerto ricans are facing right now, the displacement of doctors and teachers, the closures of schools and public facilities, the lack of investment in infrastructure structure and as a puerto rican american, extremely concerned about people using tax loopholes to displace people in puerto rico. that's that she's actually trying to see and solve and create opportunities for puerto rican americans. >> and you see the conscious of donald trump maybe trying to distract from the fact that he has no economic plan for
5:42 am
latinos in general, but also not only that, blaming economic issues for example, our housing crisis on latinos and on immigrants instead of actually coming with a coming up with a plan to help lower our cost of rent and mortgages. >> he's coming out here just trying to blame immigrants for the fact that it's actually his buddies and friends are driving up the cost of housing in america on the speaking broader campaign i've seen trump aligned pac. i've seen it, i've seen it on air and i've seen a digital a trump-aligned pac have used, you in ads to hit kamala harris saying to labor, labelled her san francisco liberal is the term that they often use again and again. do you think your support for her hurts her with moderate voters, which we have very clearly seen in the recent weeks that she's making a direct appeal to i don't think so. >> and i think that that bears out in the data and evidence, not just a matter of personal opinion. i worked very closely alongside many of my colleagues across the house, democrats credit caucus, and they are of
5:43 am
all different kinds of political opinions and frankly, i think moderate voters and everyday people see right through some of these scare tactics for what they are see how, they are exaggerations. they see that these are kind of just baseless attacks and that's made evident by the fact that i'm proud to be able to port swing district democrats and they're not afraid of these attack ads. they're just not landing and are not effective flip of this. she has gone on a whole tour with former congresswoman, republican congresswoman liz cheney to try to win moderate republicans looking back, you and liz cheney in you know, in the house, you guys but heads on issues over and over again. she calls liz cheney a true patriot when they are campaigning together. is that hurting kamala harris with more progressive voters well, listen, i don't i think there's plenty of people that aren't happy about that. >> and i think that is part of the nature of putting together a coalition. i don't love it,
5:44 am
but that doesn't mean that we aren't on the same team and we aren't on the same page when it comes to who is unequivocally the better candidate in order to win the presidential election on the issues her evolution on positions and she's explained the evolution our physicians from four years ago, fracking border wall, border security medicare for all they have moved from more progressive two more moderate. that's the direction we you very clear them see in this election. do you like that? she is doing that. do you like that shift? >> i think that my stance is on these issues are very clear. i believe that every single american has the right to health care and we should be working together guarantee to improve and expand medicare and lower the age of eligibility to zero. and that's my goal i also believe that we need to have a real plan to document people who wish to come into the united states and be and contribute to our growing economy and really be part of what is charging the economy,
5:45 am
which is frankly also a bears out in the data that's not a matter of personal opinion american, the american economy thrives because of our immigrant population, the way that we address the crisis is by actually providing a path to citizenship and documenting people and when it comes to the climate crisis, our time is ticking down. but what i believe is that the democratic party is a coalition and the stronger we make our case, and the stronger that we say we need to get big money out of politics we need to tax these billionaires, houthi, to the point that, that they stopped manipulating our economy and squeezing the working class. i know what candidate the progressive flank has a fighting chance with, and it's not donald trump, it's kamala harris carson. >> thank you for coming in this morning. kristin fisher. >> appreciate it, john. >> right. so more than 40 million people have cast ballots in person or mail. so far. but what do we really know about what turnout will be in
5:46 am
this election? this guy has sent cnn senior data reporter harry enten, is with us now hearing you see signs for all the people voting early the turnout might end up being lower. >> y, yeah. why might turn out end up being or i'll note that the early vote when you combine it with male votes, actually fewer people have voted so far through this point before election day, them four years ago, but it's not just that because i want you to take a look at feelings towards voting and this is in the polling, right? remember 2020 had record turnout. feelings towards warning certain of vote back in 2020 at this 0.88% of registered voters said they were certain about where are we today? it's just at 1%, john, it's a seven point drop but that's not the only polling metric in which i'm looking at how about extremely motivated to vote at this point in 2020, it was 73%. you look now, it's just 65% again, a high single digit drop, eight points in this particular case, but it's not just the polling, right? remember in 2022, the midterm turnout fell compared to four years before that in 2018. and
5:47 am
that washington top-two primary which is often predictive of what's going to occur in the general election back in august the turnout there fell versus four years ago. so when you're looking at polling, when you're looking at these different metrics all him look just weaker compared to four years ago, but to me, the polling here, which is oftentimes quite predictive, is the most most important. now that will receive fewer people saying there are certain to vote and fewer people saying they're extremely motivated? yes. >> john leer trends there any sense of why harry why, you know every single year people say this is the most important election ever, right? wow, they actually pulled this the most important election of my lifetime back in 2020. look at this 74% of registered voters said that yes, it was the most important election of their lifetime this time around. it's actually less, it's 65% now that's still a pretty impressive number, but it's a drop of nearly ten points of americans are registered voters saying it's the most important election of our lifetime, despite the fact that we have all these politicians out there saying it, voters are actually
5:48 am
slept less, slightly less likely to agree with them, john. >> all right, so the zillion dollar question here is if turnout does drop, which candidate does that help or hurt more? >> which candidate does it help or hurt more? this is the million dollar question and the million dollar answer is one that probably satisfies neither side. harris versus trump margin, lower turnout may not benefit either side. you know, if you look at the broader universe of registered voters as he harris up by a point well within the margin of error nationally, if you look at likely voters, it's still harris by a point. >> now what's interesting here, of course, if you look historically normally republicans actually benefit with lower turnout. >> if you look at the pulling earlier this year, the democratic coalition becomes more and more educated. it would've said that harris would have done better with slightly lower turnout, but in the polling right now, it does not seem to me that neither side would necessarily benefit. i think the question ultimately is, though given how tight this is, who is going to get those few extra voters off the sidelines on that question. we're just going have to wait and say yes, i'm smiling
5:49 am
because this is such a close election. everyone's looking for some way to tell which way it's going to trend this way or that way, even on this there's just no way that there's no way there's no way the close election continues on only eight days to go. >> herold. thank you. very thank you all right you've heard of political waves, right? but what about the phenomenon known as the red mirage or the blue shift? it happens when republicans taken early lead after the polls close on election night. but in the ensuing hours and days, and as mail-in ballots are counted, democrats make gains and erase that republican lead cnn political senior writer and author of cnn's what matters news his letter, zachary wolf is joining us right now. zachary, we saw this play out in 2020. it was part of the reason trump pushed the idea that the election was stolen. do you expect to see the situation again? and look what happened there. it was really interesting when we all went to bet on election night, or normal people went to bet on election night and 2020, there were still eight states where cnn had not projected a
5:50 am
winner, and those eight states view, if you go back and look at them, they're all still battleground states with the one exception of maine. so we can, this is why, why are they called battleground states? because we don't know what's going to happen in them when we go to bet on election night and so the question becomes, what is going to happen in these states back in 2020? let's take georgia for instance. that was the state it took longest project when everybody went to bet on election night, donald trump had a pretty sizable will not a sizable, he had a lead there of some votes when they got up the next morning, he still had a lead. people were still counting it wasn't until in the wee hours of november 6 that biden's lead presented itself. now we should remember when people have everybody voted by election day. so it's not like people are additionally voting it's just when they're able to count the votes. and part of the problem in 2020 is that there was so much mail-in voting because it was the pandemic year. think about the process of counting
5:51 am
mail-in ballot. you have to take it out of an envelope. you have to make sure that it's rematches a registration. it's not like just holding an id up and finding the person you have to match signatures. in some cases, it takes time. so what some states have done this year is they've made it easier and actually, most states make it much easier to count those mail in ballots here. hoping there will be a quicker we will face bacharier who were all fit is going to be a tight ones that we had never know. >> appreciate it. kate a texas election clerk assaulted over the weekend at an early voting site. the growing concerns about safety app pull at the polls this year mcdonald's, the popular quarter pounder, is back on the menu after a deadly e coli outbreak and the change that they're making after they believe they found the source of the outbreak power goes out? power outages could be unpredictable and inconvenient but with a general

5:57 am
a statue outside the team's arena. good times. john i don't think it looks like it doesn't not at all. don't have to pretend for as fishburne was exactly right. >> all right new this morning, a cnn poll reveals that nearly 70% of registered voters think that if donald trump loses, he will not accept the outcome and concede. >> we saw it four years ago with is chris harvey, co-founder for the committee for safe and secure elections. thanks so much for being with look, you just saw the numbers their. most voters think donald trump won't concede if he loses. what is uses at present >> first of all you know, concerns about people conceding the election is problematic before the election because it can affect turnout, it can affect confidence in what goes on at the committee for statements through elections. we spent the last year-and-a-half or so getting law enforcement with election
5:58 am
officials, getting them to train together, getting to learn from each other, finding out how they can help each other. so that when people come to vote, they were voting in an atmosphere that safe. it's secure, it's accessible, and that they get to have their voice heard without any type of coercion or interference. so that's really what we're focused on. is getting to the election, getting the election done professionally, completely in such a way that you really limit some of these opportunities for people to monday morning quarterback. >> what's gone on? >> what are your biggest safety concerns? >> well, the safety concerns that have to do, i think in some of the swing states, you know, i'm here in atlanta, georgia is one of the swing states i was the state election director in 2020. >> and i saw what happened after the election and that's really where most of the controversy came was after the election when the votes were tabulated the voting itself in 2020 went very smoothly. >> my concern and this time is that people have had four years to sort of ruminate and
5:59 am
marinate and some of these ideas and some of these theories from, from all sides and so they go to vote with an attitude, are trying to find something that they think is going to be there and create some hazardous conditions are create some violence at polling places there was a man in texas this weekend was arrested for assaulting an election clerk at a polling place. how do you prepare election workers for this type of situation? well, you can it's really a question of combining elections workers, and law enforcement election workers have done things like they've done de-escalation training. they've done training on trying to keep keep order. >> but when somebody is intent on doing violence, really need law enforcement available and present and able to run spawned. >> and what we've done is we've spent a tremendous amount of time training law enforcement on the peculiar laws that had to do with elections. this specific laws that are in effect for elections how they can be at polling places in a way that's
6:00 am
unobtrusive, in a way that's not intimidating, but be able to respond quickly effectively when. >> something like this does happen and that's exactly what i was i was talking about before is you create, you can create such a tense atmosphere at some of these polling places. the slightest, the slightest spark may spark some type of violent reaction. and that's what we've spent a year-and-a-half trying to prepare therefore look, we can all help by talking about respecting election workers, respecting the process. chris harvey, we respect what you do. thank you so much for your work. appreciated. >> my pleasure. >> thank you. we got a brand new hour of cnn, new central starting right now >> that's all the red before election day, donald trump's closing argument filled with dark rhetoric at his hometown rally in new york were several speakers spewed racist it's the vulgar remarks the campaign now trying to play cleanup today.
