election day former president donald trump leaves voters with a lot to consider. after a hometown rally features several speakers spewing racist or vulgar remarks. meantime vice president kamala harris, seizing on those and saying the former president is quote, fixated on his grievances. harris is now heading to michigan, where she is set to speak next hour and dwindling hope for a deal in the middle east. talks are set to resume, with egypt proposing a two day ceasefire but negotiators have one eye on the election here in the united states. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central final full week of the 2024 election. >> and today the trump campaign

finds itself in a bit of damage control after the former president's dark and inflammatory rally at madison square garden last night. this event featured a parade of maga movement speakers and offered a menacing, crude misogynistic and at times racist closing messages to voters. >> all this as a brand new cnn poll out today finds that nearly 70% of registered voters think that donald trump would not concede, would not concede the election if he loses to kamala harris. we have team coverage of the rally fallout and today's campaign developments. eva mckend is with the harris team in battleground michigan. but let's start with kristen holmes, who is live for us in atlanta, where the former president is holding two campaign events in the swing state of georgia today. kristen, what are you hearing from trump's team and the blowback of that controversial event in new york well, boris and brianna, i just want to make one thing clear here. >> the most controversial, vulgar and sexist remarks all came before donald trump. even

took the stage. i mean, at some point my jaw was on the floor. as somebody who's been to so many of these events, hearing some of these remarks, particularly one comedian saying that puerto rico was a floating island of garbage, he went on to say several other vulgar, racist things, and he wasn't the only one in these preprogramed remarks. and the number of trump allies and advisers that i have spoken to who are angry today, given the fact that these are the remarks that are really overshadowing what happened at madison square garden last night, and the former president himself doing this event that he has long wanted to do. there's a lot of finger pointing them saying, who was supposed to vet these speeches? why were some of these speakers allowed up on the stage and allowed to give some of these remarks? and the campaign actually put out a rare statement distancing themselves particularly from that comedian. this is what they said. they said this joke does not reflect the views of president trump or the campaign. gives you some idea here of how many calls they were getting from lawmakers republicans. they were seeing the democratic backlash, essentially saying this needs

to be condemned. these remarks are not okay, particularly about puerto ricans who make up a huge part of the voting bloc. in many of these swing states. now they are hoping to turn the page today in georgia. we're going to hear that same rhetoric. it was very clear last night as donald trump was delivering his closing message. he is going to continue hammering home this point about immigration. he believes that this rhetoric around immigration helped him win in 2016, and he believes it will help propel him to the white house in 2024. >> the big question, of course, is whether or not he's going to actually address some of the comments that were in that pre-show last night before he took the stage i would say that it seems unlikely given what i have heard from these various advisers, that he's actually going to say anything about it. they're going to let the statement speak for itself. but of course, it's donald trump we'll see what he does when he actually takes the stage. >> all much for that. let's go now to eva mckend, who is in michigan where vice president harris is holding three campaign events today. eva, what is the harris

campaign had planned for the day and what is she saying about this rally of trump's at madison square garden yesterday well, brianna today for the vice president, it's all about manufacturing jobs. >> she's going to be in saginaw at a semiconductor facility meeting with workers on the assembly line. she will then later go to macomb county facility. and it gives her an opportunity to talk about the wins as she sees them. of the biden-harris administration on this issue, she'll argue that the chips act, for instance fortified some of these manufacturing union jobs. she'll also have a space to talk about her policy platform as it relates to this issue, shoring up apprenticeship programs giving a tax credit to american manufacturers. and it comes at a time when democrats, in some corners very much want this to be the message not former president trump, but for her instead to be out here

making an affirmative case for why she wants to be president, but still she's going to be asked about the former president and his theatrics. take a listen to what she had to say. >> i think last night, donald trump's event in madison square garden really highlighted a point that i've been making throughout this campaign uh, he is focused and actually fixated on his grievances on himself and on dividing our country. this is not new about him. by the way. what he did last night is not a discovery it is just more of the same. and maybe more vivid than usual donald trump spends full time trying to have americans point their finger at each other fans. the fuel of hate and division. and that's the day here in ann arbor for a big rally. >> when we vote we win concert series maggie rogers will

perform, and then we will see the vice president on stage with her running mate, governor walz, a rare opportunity to see them campaigning on stage together. brianna. >> all right. eva mccann, thank you so much. let's talk about this with our political experts laura barron-lopez is the white house correspondent for pbs newshour erin perrine is a republican strategist for axiom strategies. and jamal simmons served as communications director for vice the co-host of the trailblaze podcast. aaron, to you first, what did you think about this rally? um, i think that we can all say it was offensive at many points in time. does it doesn't broaden his appeal. i would expect i wouldn't think that anybody is going to be swayed to consider voting more for donald trump after that rally, but at this point, it's about two things. it's about headlines and it's about coverage. it's all this is about at this point. this is get out the vote effort. so we are talking breathlessly about donald trump in new york city.

and where else is he going to be going this week? he's going to be going to virginia. you're going to see him in new mexico as well. why? they're going on this offensive strategy to try to close out in this really bold, brash way on this campaign. they're going into states that they're going to try and say are more competitive, like virginia. right. you remember back when glenn youngkin won, right? what did he do? he went into alexandria, virginia the weekend before the election to try and show look we're going to win this. this is strong. i think alexandria still went 7030, but you're showing up in these places to be able to say, look. so when it comes to the closing message, it should be on the economy. it should be on securing the country. it should be on geopolitical catastrophe. and contrasting that to kamala, this took away from that. and that's a huge misstep by this campaign. >> laura specifically on the comments from that comedian about puerto rico, there is the potential for some blowback and very real potential for latino voters, specifically puerto ricans, to reconsider voting for donald trump especially because you had a number of prominent latinos, bad bunny jennifer lopez, et cetera.

posting clips of defending the harris campaign or siding with the harris campaign and the bad bunny one is significant because he's not somebody that has delved into politics before. how do you read the back and forth? yeah, and i the bad bunny endorsement came out right as that comedian made those comments about puerto rico, i've noticed that some puerto ricans are also posting on social media. beautiful photos of their country, of their island. and no, i think especially in a place like pennsylvania that has a significant puerto rican population, that is a swing state i've covered latino voters there before, and this could be something that further pushes them towards harris. you know, a lot of latinos that i've talked to, whether it's in pennsylvania, nevada or arizona, do tend to either bring up one of two things, either the economy or abortion. now are these comments going to impact them if they're more focused on the economy? it's a little difficult to say. that being said, you know, a number of them do pay attention to trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric to him attacking legal

immigrants like haitians and this will reinforce their views that that he is not necessarily someone who maybe has their best interests at heart. i also wonder how it plays with mixed status families, people who are american citizen children to parents that might be undocumented. there's all these things that trump's rhetoric last night and those and his allies around him, their rhetoric could very well influence their vote. >> yeah jamal, it has the effect broadly of what listening to trump or listening to the folks that his campaign invited people who if you look at the it's pretty clear what they may be saying at an event like this. it gives it gives the idea that latinos aren't americans just broadly and there are many hispanic americans out there that are up for grabs in this election potentially still. and i just wonder what you think about you know, this approach

making excuse for donald trump right now can kick rocks, right? >> like they they know better. he's not doing this by accident. i've planned more presidential level events in my life than i care to admit, and i got to tell you, you know a lot about what people are going to say you talk to them about what they're going to do. one of the reasons you do that is because you want to de-conflict the remarks between what the candidate's going to say and what some of the other people who are going to speak are going to say. and donald trump is betting on racism. the problem. right now is that he might be betting too hard. he's hitting the nail a little too hard on the betting on racism has tended to work for the most part, but only if you wink at it, right? you think about welfare queens with reagan, or you think about the the george h.w. bush going after the willie horton ad. those are winks at racism. governor wallace he didn't win in 1968, right so i wonder if what trump is doing is going to move some of these suburban women who maybe they live in racially exclusive lifestyles

maybe they don't particularly like certain people from certain places, but they certainly don't want to think of themselves as being racist. they certainly don't want to think of themselves as not liking that kid who played on the team with their kid in the soccer league. so i think this is something that trump is going to have to trump is probably overplaying his hand here in a way that's playing right into the harris campaign strategy. >> erin, i'm curious about something jamal said, because i think you and i actually met on the trump 2020 campaign on the road do you know ahead of time what people are going to say? did nobody vet this comedian and see some things that he's perhaps said in the past that might lead them to think we don't want him right before donald trump comes on, other than the republican national convention. i can't think of a trump rally that i worked as a trump staffer, where we were vetting speeches by those who were on the stage. now that's not to say i have every insight into everything that happens behind the scenes, but i worked a number of rallies. i actually headed up press advance for a little bit in the early days of the 20 cycle, because we were

still a small team. so that's where we met, was at the press pen back in the day what they do is what should be done is you vet the person you do essentially a background check is what you should be doing. i don't think the campaign is right. you're going to look through people's backgrounds. you're going to look through their history. heck, when i joined the trump campaign in 2020, i had to, you know, send them what my social medias were so that they could look and see what i had been saying. if i'd been saying things that weren't lining up with where the campaign was. all of that to say, i don't think this happened in this instance. i don't think people were doing any vetting. i think that they didn't look at the remarks. i don't think there was any de-conflicting they had hours and hours and hours of speakers. i don't think the campaign did that at all whatsoever. but they normally wouldn't do that. that's not their normal operating procedure. and think about it. think about all the events they put on, not only the big rallies, but also the ones jd vance does, which are a little bit smaller in scale. and the campaign bus tours and events on the road to be able to deconflict all those speeches and read everybody's remarks is not something they would be able to do in this instance. they should have been more careful because the same way you select a vice presidential nominee to do no harm your

campaign events should do no harm as well on the background checks or just what people have said i mean, i background checked like four people pretty quickly. i feel like if just before the show, if you divide and conquer, it's actually it's not too hard, right? sid rosenberg he he's someone who it turns out, got fired for saying that serena and venus williams were disgusting and that they would have a better shot at posing for national geographic magazine than playboy magazine. like that seems pretty basic but i wonder, is it the design? laura i mean, i think that there was no intention by the trump these people. i mean, the vast majority of these people are saying things that trump or his other allies have said. for the vast majority of this campaign, it's not the first time that someone at a trump rally has called kamala harris the antichrist, or called her the devil that has happened repeatedly at trump rallies. it's not the first time that donald trump has called other

american citizens the enemy within, or said that the press or the enemy within. so this is all part of the larger theme of donald trump's campaign, which is one that is solely about an anti-immigrant message and about retribution for what he considers a stolen 2020 election. >> jamal, to you this rally comes as the marquee super pac backing vice president harris run put out this report warning that digging too deep into presenting donald trump as a fascist, as an authoritarian isn't as effective as her representing her own economic vision for the country. her own stance on a number of key issues. i wonder what you make of that, because it seems like for her this is very easy to point to the extreme rhetoric and to say, do you really want that? but it doesn't seem lined up with exactly where voters might want her to be absolutely. >> you know, just to go back to the earlier statement for a second, you don't always know exactly what everybody is going to say. but when you're picking

people to be on stage with your presidential candidate you kind of know what they're going to say. you ask them, are you going to hit this point? are you going to hit that one? so that's point number one. and then point number two is they had hours after some of these things happened to kind of rebut it. they didn't rebut it until the outcry broke out online. so again they can kick rocks. they know what kind of campaign they're running and they know what they're trying to do as for the harris campaign, they're going very hard at donald trump because what we learned in 2018, we learned it in 2020, we learned it in 2022. when donald trump and maga extremism are on the ballot, americans tend to say no, thank you. they've said it in every election. they possibly could. so they've got to one make the case that donald trump is extreme. and what he wants to do takes us an anti-american election and anti-american direction. and then, number two, here's how kamala harris wants to make your life better. the two things work hand in hand. they're not either or. and i think that future forward maybe that memo leans a little too hard on don't talk about donald trump, but really it is talk about donald trump and what he wants to do, and then pivot to what kamala harris wants to do is going to make people's lives

better, to buy houses and build businesses and take care of their kids she's going to have a chance to offer her own closing message here, and she's going to be doing it on the ellipse near the white house the site of donald trump's remarks on january 6th before the riot at the capitol how much is riding on this, laura? >> i think kamala harris's campaign, based on people that i talked to as well as just when you're out there talking to voters, it's very clear that she views her pathway to the white house through two avenues, which is those disenchanted republican independent voters, those liz cheney type voters she thinks that those are people she can drive up numbers with, as well as max out her support amongst women. and that's women across the board, across all ages. that's those are the two big voting blocs for her. i think, across race and ethnicity and this this speech that she's going to make, which is going to highlight the stark contrast and frame donald trump as a threat to democracy reminding

people what happened on january sixth, reminding them, again that people that worked for him are now calling him fascist and saying he is an existential threat that that that can help her with those liz cheney, nikki haley voters and those may be the only undecided voters that are that are left out there. do you think that would be an effective message to deliver as a closing line from the ellipse? i don't think it is. and i think there's a few reasons for it. one, i think it's all kind of baked into the pie for better or worse. the american people know what they're going to get with donald trump the argument about fascism, the american people remember what it was like under donald trump and even that language may be a little bit too far because they're like, you know what? he wasn't a fascist and a dictator when he was president of united states. i remember what it felt like. remember that my checkbook felt like there was more money in my pocketbook, and i could get more at the grocery store that's what the american people, if you want to make it convincing. closing argument to persuadable female republican voters, you know what you need to say. i am going to be able to make the economy better, and the country safer. stop playing into donald trump. they already

understand. >> he's definitely got people playing into him after this rally. >> no question about that. erin laura, jamal, thank you all for the conversation appreciate you thank you. still ahead this afternoon, new numbers hinting that voter turnout might be lower than expected in this election. who could that help? who could that hurt? plus, remember terms like blue mirage and blue shift. rather red with the drama from the 2020 election could teach us about what we should expect just eight days from now. >> and iran vows to retaliate after israel's air strikes on saturday. we're going to take you live to the region, coming up on cnn news central sandwich. >> it's meat between bread. >> can i weigh in on this debate? >> the department of agriculture generally defines sandwiches as meat between bread or a bun. >> what about subs? you mean hoagies? >> what? no way. >> sure. vistaprint prints business cards. but we also print these and those and

the same point back in 2020. the percentage of registered voters who say they're extremely motivated to turn out and come out and vote, that's also down eight points from where we were in 2020, and that actually matches what we saw in the 2022 midterms. right where turnout was down from the record numbers in 2018. it's also what we saw back in august in the washington top two primary, which oftentimes presages and is oftentimes predictive of what will happen in november. turnout there was down from what we saw in 2020. so the bottom line is yes, i think a lot of folks are very excited to turn out. but i really would not be surprised if fewer folks actually ultimately end up turning out compared to four years ago. >> and to what should we credit that them maybe not turning out? >> yeah. you know every single election cycle everyone goes, this is the most important election of our lifetimes well, actually, the new york times polled this very question. they essentially asked, you know is this the most important election of your lifetime? and what we see is the majority of voters say, yes, but that's

actually a lower number 65% than what we saw at the same point in 2020, when it was 74%. so you're consistently seeing these drops of high single digits on these different metrics. so yeah, a lot of politicians might be trying to sell the idea that election of everyone's lifetime, but the voters are only slightly less likely to believe it than they were four years ago. >> harry when it comes to the potential for lower turnout than in the last cycle, which side would benefit most from that? >> are the million dollar question, my dear friend, and the million dollar answer is and if you if you look at registered voters, which of course is the entire universe of voters, and you compare it to likely voters when you drill down to it, it's the same margin nationally, well within the margin of error. harris, by a point among registered voters. harris by a point among likely voters. what's interesting about that is historically speaking, republicans tend to benefit from lower turnout. but some of the polling earlier on this cycle suggested that donald

trump would, in fact, not benefit from lower turnout. kamala harris would benefit from lower turnout. right now, it looks like neither side necessarily will. but of course, if we do have lower turnout, then each individual vote matters even more. so it's going to be interesting to see as we get closer and closer to election day, as more people early vote, and then actually go out to the polls on election day, which side could get out their voters more because at the end of the day, this campaign, my dear friends, is too close to call and i didn't need a yellow board to tell you that. >> yeah, we didn't need the magic wall for. >> yeah yeah harry enten great to see you, harry. >> thanks so much. nice to see you. >> so the closeness of this race, as you just heard from harry, between donald trump and kamala harris, suggests we might see a repeat of the election pattern known as the red mirage or the blue shift. >> that is when republicans lead early after polls closed on election night, only to have it erased. here to explain the phenomenon is cnn politics senior writer and author of

cnn's what matters newsletter zachary wolf. okay, break this down for us because we do need this reminder every few years, every few years. >> and you go back to 2016. it's a distant memory at this point. but hillary clinton conceded the election. she was behind in the popular vote. we all know she ultimately won the popular vote. if that's the thing that you can win four years later and in 2016, that's mostly because of these states like california or washington, where they count all these mail in ballots very late. they kind of trickle in. four years later, in 2020, we all went to bed, or those of us who did sleep that night went to bed. there were still eight states where we didn't know what the results were going to be. seven of them are still battlegrounds so i think, and it took days even. let's let's look at georgia, one of those key states from 2016. it was two days in at 4:46 a.m. i think in the morning on november 6th, election day was november 3rd. that was when biden finally took the lead.

and we say, take the lead. that's kind of the wrong way to look at it. he always had the lead. we just hadn't counted the votes. and a lot of this comes down to these mail-in votes. it's hard to verify signatures to do all this stuff. some of these states like georgia, have made changes, so that should make things go a lot quicker this year. but we're just going to have to see. >> yeah, different states have different rules. and so as the votes are counted, you see the percentages change. and potentially fluctuate. i wonder though, taking all of that into account, when should we have an idea of when the race is going to be called? >> so georgia's secretary of state said that by the time polls close, they should have a lot of these, you know, ballots processed. and he said by 8:08 p.m. on election night, they should have up to 70% of their votes in georgia so that's great. but if it's really close, it might not matter. it could take many days. there could be overseas ballots that they have to count provisional ballots. all of these things in a in a very tight election

everything you do might not help. and then there are states like pennsylvania and wisconsin process have stalled essentially. so they're not counting these early these mail in ballots. they're not processing them early so things could go quickly there. and in a really tight election, it could take a while. i mean, the record we all remember 2000, 36 days, hopefully. it's not that this year. >> hopefully not. i dare say. all right, zach, thank you appreciate it. still ahead iran vows to respond to israel's latest deadly strike on the country has stalled. gaza hostage and cease fire talks resume. we'll have the latest from the region next on cnn news central political analysis. >> we have questions how biden set the right path. stayed awake. >> why did trump pull out of 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out. this is the news network. >> have i got news for you? saturday at nine on cnn the medicare advantage and prescription drug plan annual enrollment period is now open

military capabilities. >> we saw over these three waves of strikes early saturday morning. israel taking out air defense systems, including s-300 systems in key strategic locations within iran, as well as taking out ballistic missile production facilities, as well and what these strikes do, according to israeli officials i've spoken to, is they believe this will give the israeli air force more ability going forward to go after additional iranian targets, should that become necessary. and the reason why that might is, depending on whether or not iran retaliates. at least that's the calculus from the israeli side and today we've heard from the iranian president, who has made clear that iran will give what he is describing as an appropriate response, even as he is making clear that iran does not want an all out war with israel. and it is true that over the last couple of days, we have really heard iran largely downplay the significance and the damage caused by these israeli strikes. but the question is,

if they are vowing a response when will that response come? and will it actually be of a kind of kinetic military nature? and so far that seems unclear. but certainly there is the possibility here of both sides choosing to kind of downplay this going forward to avoid further escalation. >> and jeremy tell us about the talks in doha. how are they going? is there any hope that this might mean some progress? >> well, at least these talks have resumed. and when there are negotiations happening, when the two sides are willing to come back to the table that is at least a positive indication. but whether or not they're actually going anywhere and going anywhere fast is another question altogether. we know that there is this new egyptian proposal now on the table that looks to kind of shake up the dynamic that we've seen over the course of the last ten months, really and that is because instead of looking at a kind of multi-phase deal that would released ultimately see an end of the war in gaza what the egyptians have put on the table is, hey let's just do a two

day truce here to get four israeli hostages out in exchange for an unspecified number of palestinian prisoners. and perhaps that could get further negotiations going as a kind of trust building exercise in order to try and get to a more permanent ceasefire. the israelis certainly seem on board from the conversations i've had, but what will hamas do, and will that be enough in the past? we know hamas has said we need to see a permanent ceasefire. we need to see the withdrawal of all israeli troops. but of course, now they are in a very different position in the wake of the killing of hamas leader yahya sinwar. so will that sufficiently change the dynamic here? it remains an open question. certainly nobody in the region seems very optimistic about the prospects of this latest proposal, this latest round of negotiations. but it is a new starting point that perhaps could ultimately lead to something, especially after the u.s. elections. >> yeah we've seen so many proposals disintegrate at this point. jeremy diamond, thank you so much for the update from jerusalem. still ahead, former

president donald trump's social media company, now worth more than three times what it was just five weeks ago. we're going to tell you what's behind the dramatic surge next. and it all comes down to this. >> we can now make a major projection. >> the way only cnn can bring it to you. election night in america. special coverage begins tuesday november 5th at 4:00 on cnn. >> hey how goes it? >> well, i'm getting a new car. >> yeah, i've been contemplating the same carvanas convenient appreciate the tip. >> yeah. anytime how's it going over there? hey, buy that car yet? >> be here thursday. you. >> it's a question for a more decisive me. maybe i need to think about it more. >> i believe in you. you can do this. come on. definitely a no brainer. >> wow. decisive. >> yeah. well, with same day delivery. >> well, it only took you a few days. >> i know, i know. >> however, you buy, buy your car with carvana

north carolina is going to take much longer in the city of asheville, classes resume monday, but on a modified schedule and no after school programs. asheville city schools superintendent maggie fuhrman told cnn on sunday that none of their schools were damaged in the storm, and all have power. internet and running water. asheville is in buncombe county, but operates an independent city school system. buncombe county students went back to school friday. schools are on a two hour delay and drinking water is being delivered just as asheville schools are doing, because what's coming out of the pipes is not yet safe for drinking. another challenge is that many students and staff were personally affected by the storm. as the superintendent told us earlier. >> we have several students that lost family members. we have staff members who lost family members. i think the most tragic was one of our staff members lost 11 members of her family and the craigtoun area, and that is just completely devastating for her and for our whole community.

>> north carolina governor roy cooper reminded people over the weekend that helene was the deadliest and most devastating storm ever to hit north carolina, killing at least 98 people. more than 100,000 people had their homes damaged. the governor said, and thousands of businesses that were damaged have yet to reopen. >> they're going to need our help. collectively, they're going to need local government, state government, the federal government the private sector, the volunteers, the nonprofits, all pulling together so that western north carolina can build back in a stronger way, more resilient way. >> governor cooper also said the total damage caused by the storm is estimated at $53 billion. >> our thanks to rafael romo for that report. as the clock ticks down to election day, market experts can't help but notice what's happening with former president trump's media stock. >> it has tripled in value here in just five weeks. it's now worth $9 billion. cnn's matt

egan is with us now on this. matt this rebound comes after record lows for the stock in late september. what's driving the comeback? >> well, boris and brianna i feel like every time i look at this stock it's trading higher and higher. it's just incredible. it was only five weeks ago that trump media was trading at those record lows of about 12 bucks. but look at this up 19% today all the way to $46. so it has tripled in a very short amount of time. and this is all being driven by bets that former president trump will win the white house. because trump media has become basically a proxy for how traders think that this election will turn out. and that stock chart shows it's been moving around all over the place. in fact, in the summer after president biden stepped aside, we saw this stock price fall to record low after record low. but it's completely turned around because some traders think that trump will win and that a trump victory will enhance the value of truth

social. of course, we should note that markets are not omniscient sometimes traders get surprised by things in polls still suggest that this race could go either way venture capitalist gene munster, he told me that if trump does win, he thinks that this company could be valued at something around $9 billion like it is today but if not, he said it could crash to $1 billion. he told me i've never seen anything quite like this this company's value is almost entirely based on the outcome of an election but matt, when it comes to the fundamentals of this stock this company, truth social, is still a relatively small player in social media yeah, boris. well, fundamentals have not applied with this stock really. the whole time since it went public back in march. but you're absolutely right. truth social is still very tiny as of last month this social media platform only had u.s. users on ios and android.

now that is very tiny, right facebook 200 times more users x the social media platform formerly known as twitter had over 100 times as many. even threads and video sharing company rumble have a lot more users. now, not only is truth social tiny, the company generates very little revenue. $1.6 million in revenue, so far this year that is very tiny. and yet, as we mentioned the company is valued at $9 billion. so for some context, trump media right now is worth more than cbs owner paramount it's worth twice as much as macy's and more than triple the value of peloton even though all of those companies they brought in billions of dollars. so far this year. but listen, fasten your seatbelts because we could see this stock move even more sharply in the days ahead, especially as we finally learn who is going to be sworn in as the next president yeah, we'll have to

look for that. >> matt egan, thank you so much for the first time in a decade, there are new recommendations on how to prevent a stroke. and we'll have the details on that next news at 10:00 eastern on cnn. >> it's odd how in an instant things can transform slipping out of balance in a freefall i'm glad i found stability amidst it all. gold standing the test of time. >> if you have heart failure, vasica can help you keep living life with the ones you love ask your doctor about vasica today. vasica can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking vasica and call your doctor right away. if you have symptoms of this infection and allergic reaction or ketoacidosis s. >> e. cupp what will you do

diabetes. drugs like ozempic and wegovy. >> we have cnn health reporter jacqueline howard with us now on this story. tell us, jacqueline, what's at the core of these new recommendations? >> yeah, brianna and boris, at the core of this, these guidelines give us some take home messages for preventing a stroke for the first time. so this is for course they recommend what some people would expect like eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, not sitting too much during the day, but for the first time, these guidelines specifically mention glp one drugs like ozempic. they say that these popular weight loss and diabetes drugs are found to be effective at reducing the risk of stroke in people with diabetes and people with high cardiovascular risk. so that's a major development. the other new thing that we see here is for the first time, these guidelines specifically mention risk factors for women. the guidelines say it's important to check your blood pressure monitor blood pressure during pregnancy. it also mentions endometriosis and early onset menopause as being

associated with an increased risk for stroke and for the first time, the recommendations mention transgender women taking estrogen for gender affirming care have been identified as having an increased risk of stroke, so these are major developments that we're seeing here in the guidelines. boris and brianna and jacqueline, how serious of a threat does stroke pose in the united states? how many people does it kill every year? >> well, we know boris every three minutes and 11 seconds. someone in the united states dies from having a stroke and we know that every 40s someone has a stroke. so this is a huge, huge public health concern and that's why prevention is so important. >> jacqueline howard thank you so much for that update. appreciate it. vice president kamala harris is set to speak in just minutes from battleground michigan. she's set to focus on her economic vision. we're going to bring you her remarks straight ahead on cnn news central an election
