attacking one of his top republican critics former congresswoman liz cheney saying she should feel what it's like to be in combat and have nine rifles surrounding her. what

both candidates are saying now about those comments. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central >> i'm brianna keilar alongside boris sanchez here in washington. and we begin this hour with some new exclusive reporting on how the harris campaign believes that former president trump will repeat a move that he made in the 2020 election. the campaign tells cnn that it, quote, fully expects trump will declare victory next tuesday before the votes are counted. and this comes as the harris campaign is also projecting confidence in its ability to win over undecided voters, with just four days to go, saying that are breaking in their favor. >> meantime the trump campaign is attempting to clarify violent comments. the former president recently made about former republican congresswoman and harris supporter liz

cheney. listen to this she's a radical war hawk let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrel shooting at her. >> okay let's see how she feels about it. you know, when the guns are trained on her face, you know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in washington in a nice building saying, oh gee, will, let's send let's send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy. >> cnn's kristen holmes is covering the trump campaign for us. but let's begin with cnn's mj lee in wisconsin, where vice president harris just landed a short time ago and is holding three campaign stops across the state today. mj, the vice president just now, moments ago, responding to these comments from trump. what did she say yeah, the vice president responded to these comments from the former president for the first time about liz cheney when she got off the plane here in set up on the tarmac, and clearly she was reading off of prepared remarks really signaling that she wanted to be

careful and precise in how exactly she responded to these comments from the former president that he wished to see guns trained on. >> liz cheney's face. this is what she said rhetoric. donald trump has about political opponents. and in great detail in great detail, suggested rifles should be trained on former representative liz cheney. >> this must be disqualifying anyone who wants to be who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president of the most prominent republicans to have endorsed the vice president. >> the vice president went on to say that she sees the former congresswoman as being tough, incredibly

that cheney is a patriot who has shown extraordinary courage in putting country above party. she also did note that the two have not yet connected since the former president made those comments. >> there is, of course, this question of whether this kind of rhetoric coming from the former president will make any kind of difference with voters who are still undecided. the official line from the harris campaign right now is a resounding yes. they do believe that this kind of sort of hate filled rhetoric. this is the campaign's language coming from the former president can have the effect of turning off voters from donald trump in critical battleground states in these final days, leading up to election day and speaking of of course, we are in the milwaukee area where the vice president will eventually come to later this evening for a big get out the vote rally. the last time she campaigned here was actually wednesday night. so the fact that she is coming back just two days later, just

one more reminder that this is one of the most critical states that the campaign is focused on, as they are trying to carve their path through the blue wall states. >> all right, mj now to kristen holmes in milwaukee ahead of former president trump's rally tonight. kristen, what's the trump team saying about his comments about cheney well brianna and boris, they have taken issue obviously with the coverage and the contextualization about those remarks. >> they say that this is something that many people have said in the past essentially saying that donald trump was calling her a chickenhawk, that she would want to go to war but never be in war herself. but really, the most notable thing is not what the campaign is saying, but the fact that the former president has now responded on truth social. this is what he just posted recently. he said all i'm saying about liz cheney is that she is a war hawk and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn't have the guts to fight herself. it's easy for her to talk. sitting far from the death scenes taking place, but put a gun in her hand and let her go fight and she'll say, no thanks. her father decimated the middle east and other

places and got rich by doing so. he caused plenty of death and probably never even gave it a thought. that's not what we want running our country to be clear, donald trump rarely clarifies his own remarks. >> his campaign spends a lot of time trying to clean up donald trump's remarks. donald trump himself just goes about saying what he wants to say. it is very telling that he himself put out a statement clarifying his own remarks here. that means that they believe that there could be some sort of damage done by these remarks, or there is a fear hanging over them that these kind of violent rhetoric could cause problems for former president trump ahead of people actually casting their ballots on november 5th. i think that is the most telling part of all of this. now, the problem for the donald trump campaign and for donald trump himself is that despite what he meant or wants to clarify with these remarks, donald trump has had a history of using some violent rhetoric or calling democrats the enemy within, for example. not really building goodwill when it comes to these kind of comments. so whether or not it actually impacts him at the ballot box

remains to be seen, but it is clear that they are taking these comments much more seriously than some of the other loose comments that we've heard from the former president or violent rhetoric we've heard from the former president at times before because he himself is now taking to this to try and clarify what he was saying. >> mj, back to you. what more is the harris campaign saying about their belief that trump might try to declare victory early on election night yeah, the harris campaign is saying that they fully expect and are fully preparing for this possibility that the former president is going to declare victory early on tuesday. >> this is what a senior campaign official told reporters. they said this should be no surprise because he lies all the time and he wants to sow doubt about a loss that he anticipates is coming. i read this boris and brianna as the harris campaign, trying to really project calm and confidence about the possibility and the various ways in which democrats are expecting donald trump, the

candidate, and donald trump's campaign and his allies to create chaos and confusion in a lot of different potential ways. next week, you know, we've seen the harris campaign really go to great lengths to highlight all of the ways in which, throughout the course of the campaign, they have been preparing for all different kinds of scenarios, setting up a legal team, making sure that they were looking at all of the ways in which there were various issues going back to the 2020 campaign, whether it is misinformation and disinformation various lawsuits that could come their way, and a lot of different states across the country, all different kinds of threats and rhetoric that could come from the candidate and his allies. so i do think this is something they are trying to stress in these final days. they are basically telling anyone who will listen. we could see confusion. we could see chaos coming next week but basically they are trying to stress that the the harris campaign, which of course was formerly the biden campaign, has been

preparing for this for a while now mj and kristen, thank you both from the campaign trail. >> appreciate it. for more, let's discuss with our political experts. cnn senior political analyst mark preston and political reporter for notice, jasmine wright. thank you both for being with us. jasmine what are you hearing from your sources on the harris campaign about the potential for trump to declare victory early? >> yeah, well, i think that this has actually been a theme for the harris campaign for a while now. whispers among folks wanting to make sure that both reporters and the public are prepared for that option. obviously, we saw it happen in 2020. it's actually very interesting. one person reminded me that this actually happened to the vice president when she was running for district attorney in 2003. so this is something that the vice president, her opponent declaring early is used to. obviously, she was vice president or vice president elect in 2020 when it was happening with biden. and so this is something that they say that she's used to, that in these moments, that she's calm and she's ready and she's kind of ready to do the work but certainly this is the campaign wanting to foreshadow or

wanting to at least warn people that this could be happening trying to, as mj said, tamp down on the chaos, trying to make sure that people feel prepared going into this election. when we know that it is a tie, when we know that it is 5050. even though the harris campaign officials have been more optimistic in the last 24 to 48 hours, they recognize this is a tie. it comes down to turnout and that any option is really on the table when it comes to tuesday and whenever we learn the results. and so i think this is a way to try to get people in the mood to understand that this is something that could be happening. if they do hear it happen, could it hit differently mark than it did in 2020? >> look i do i think so, and i think that's why we have to be so careful about it. and even if donald trump goes out there and declares that that he has won, he's not in the position to be the declarer, right? it will be who collectively, the news media the nonpartisan observers believe is going it's not until everything gets certified as we all know, what has happened when that has happened. but jasmine is right really. it's incumbent upon us in the news media right now to

be very careful and very calm as well to try to set expectations to what we think they're going to be. no, we know they're going to be, but we think they're going to be. and the idea that we will have a winner on election night is probably not going to happen at the same point, like the country should not be on fire just because one candidate doesn't like the results. >> yeah, and we're anticipating there may be legal cases and stuff might wind up in front of the supreme court so. so it'll be a while before we know. mark, i want to get your reaction to the back and forth over the comments made by donald trump regarding liz cheney look, it's it's donald trump at his finest, right? >> he says something that's inflammatory it plays well with the base and the folks that he's speaking to. he gets called on it he walks back off of it. he says it's upon us that we've been misinterpreted yet again. what he meant. i mean, the reality is he doesn't like liz cheney. i will say this. i mean i'm going to show my age, as i always do during these segments. it is interesting to see the republicans now hold up the

fortunate son flag that back democratic calling sign. right. you wouldn't expect the republicans being the one anti-war. don't send our our our folks off to war. it's this whole flip over right now, and it's interesting for us that are old and look this is dangerous language. we know that as he's talking about this, there are certainly other ways he could have communicated this thought where he's not talking about guns being pointed in the face of liz cheney. that said there have been. and boris, you brought this up earlier. there have just been these myriad of comments like, let's list them off as you did. there's the liz cheney thing. you've got donald trump saying, i'm going to protect women whether they like it or not. then mark cuban, who supports harris, is talking. he said he misspeaks about not misspeaks he says something about women that gets him in trouble. you have the comedian saying the thing about puerto rico and garbage. then you have biden talking about trump supporters and garbage. i mean does it just become this

kind of giant thing that no one is swayed by or do you think it actually might sway voters? i mean, what's kind of like the human impact, do you think? >> well, i think that there's two options, right? the campaign certainly believes that these comments are swaying voters. they certainly believe that in their focus groups that it is opening the minds. i think what's really interesting is that for months, even when biden was still on the ticket, the campaign really tried to make people pay attention to donald trump's words, take him seriously, and it just really wasn't working they feared that americans were viewing his four years in office with kind of these rose colored glasses. and now in the last week, they feel that it has shifted in part because of that madison square garden rally. and so they are seeing really jasmine, so sorry to interrupt. let's go to former president trump at an at a stop in dearborn, michigan. let's listen. >> she's a war hawk unnecessarily. >> and if she had to do it herself and she had

battle, she wouldn't be doing it. so it's easy for her to talk, but she wouldn't be doing it. she's actually a disgrace mr. trump can i go well, she is campaigning. i mean, she's campaigning for mr. trump. >> i'm sorry guys, you said president trump with what? >> he's going to have a big role in health care, hhs. >> in fact, we just we just left. in fact, i think he might be here. >> he's right. right here. where is he? >> will he run hhs? >> his views on vaccines? >> mr. president, we'll be talking about a lot of things, but he's going to have a big role in health care, a very big role. >> he knows it better than anybody he's got some views that i happen to agree with very strongly. and i have for a long time, i mean, for, for years, you and i, would we all be seeing it as a as his views on vaccine and maybe a position. >> all of these things will be talked about in this meeting is for the community of dearborn. so please let us welcome mr. donald j trump

difficult to listen to the very initial start of the former president's comments there. but i did hear that he was asked specifically about rfk jr. and the reporting this week. rfk jr. apparently telling folks that trump had promised him a significant role leading hhs and other government agencies. the trump campaign then walked that back, specifically on cnn. and when trump was asked about it somehow rfk jr. manifested from behind him and and he said he's going to have a big role in specifically about rfk's positions on vaccines. and he said that trump said that we are going to look at all of these things really interesting. >> he did manifest, kind of appeared just there he said his name three times. >> he talked right out. um, uh i do want to ask you, jasmine,

just before we let you go, trump has really leaned into this kind of bro culture and you even had jd vance talking about like, low t on the joe rogan podcast. a little bit. um, is that really cutting through it seems like it really is. >> i mean, i think in one way it is, right? they're making a risky bet. they're betting on these bros these younger, maybe not so educated men who potentially haven't even voted once. or maybe they've only voted every couple of times and really hoping that they come out and they come out and vote for him because they resonate with the type of masculinity that trump is putting out into the zeitgeist. right? that he could use crude language, that he could be mean to people, that he could potentially, uh be okay with some racist tropes that are in the world because they view that that idea is what is interesting to them. and so he's really trying to put a lot of energy and that really widening the gender gap that i think that we're seeing, hoping that these maybe sometimes voters come out. but i think it's risky for a couple reasons. one, because

they're low propensity. you can't necessarily trust on them to always vote every time. and then secondly, you don't really know where they are. who cares? i think the harris campaign would say if a bunch of bros in california voted, because you're not going to offset in that major democratic populous state. but of course, this is where the campaign of the trump campaign is kind of putting their eggs going into the election into punctuate that if you go back to 2020, tufts university has a study out that shows that younger women voted by 11 points higher advantage than younger men. younger women 55%. younger men voted 44% back in 2020. so if trump's going after the younger men, he's going after low propensity voters who may not even >> so it turns out teenage daughters are more dependable than teenage sons for somebody, for somebody who has one of each, they are both not dependable. >> not for me not equal opportunity. mark preston. all right. jasmine. jasmine. right. thank you to you both so donald trump has a clear path out of

many of his legal troubles. >> simply winning the election as if that were actually simple. ahead, we're going to discuss where his criminal cases stand and what happens if he winds up back in the white house. >> plus, what comes after election day as trump talks about vengeance. we're going to look at the efforts to prevent potential political violence such a game changer for me sarah vital advanced increases your body's own youth hormone reduces wrinkles and promotes weight loss i see such a difference in my skin. i notice fewer wrinkles. >> my skin looks healthier. it was easier to get lean. >> i literally shed a few pounds in the first couple of weeks. it does give me that feeling of just being radiantly alive. >> sarah vital advanced the number one anti-aging therapy in america we really don't want people to think of feeding food like ours as spoiling their dogs. good real food is simple. it looks like food. it smells like food it's what dogs are

legal matters. all those federal cases, the investigations by jack smith in charge of the justice department. trump could make them go away. but the new york case is really the most urgent because as you said, he is scheduled to be sentenced just three weeks from election day. now, lawyers i talked to say that if trump wins the white house, that could essentially be his get out of jail free card because they say that it seems unlikely that he would ever get sentenced in the next four years, and maybe not at all. this will all kick off really one week after election day. that is when we're expecting the new york judge overseeing the hush money case to decide whether the supreme court's ruling on presidential immunity will have an impact on the state case. now, if he denies trump's motion to dismiss the complaint, then we'll really see a race to the courthouses. we'll see trump's attorneys trying to get both the state judges and, if necessary, go all the way up to the supreme court to get them to put off the sentencing so they can challenge many of these other legal decisions, including immunity, as well as

potentially challenging whether a state judge could sentence the president elect of the united states. so we're expecting a lot of court activity. but also, you know, if trump loses the white house, all of these actions are still expected to be taken from his legal team. they're going to try to push off the sentencing and challenge the conviction but it's not clear exactly how will push off trump's sentencing while he is challenging these issues, you know, either way, all of this is just unprecedented. you know both the decisions on whether to push off his sentencing, but also what he would be sentenced to if that day does come. of course. big question what does the district attorney's office ask time? so really here this election could be the difference between the white house and the big house guys. >> kara scannell, an important distinction. thank you so much. so we know november 5th is election day, but it's anyone's guess who is going to win. and then what comes after that. >> and at some point we will have a winner. we know that much at some point and then the

transition will begin. we expect. but that next president will lead a deeply divided nation, one in which millions may not even believe was won, fair and square. tom foreman has been looking into this. it is the focus of his new cnn digital piece in his american battleground series, and tom, there is a lot of anxiety around this election. you can find a lot of reporting on that. in fact, how much of that is being fueled by trump's talk of vengeance? >> well, it's certainly being fueled on his side because, remember, if you are a trump only think he won four years ago, he did not. but you're hearing him already say, now we're going to be cheated again. so of course, tremendous anxiety there. on the democratic side. there's anxiety because they see what's happened with these voting precincts areas out in the county where there have been officials put in place the fact that they may in fact, finally produce the voter fraud that they've been unable to to find. and they would do it in

favor of trump. so there's a lot of anxiety about all of this. and yeah this question of what trump wants, you hear it in the talk about cheney. you've heard it in talk about so many people that he refers to as enemies from within those who have covered him closest over the years have said one of the biggest motivators in donald trump's life is vengeance when he thinks he's been done wrong, he wants to get even. and it doesn't matter if he wasn't done wrong in the first place. so yeah, tremendous amount of anxiety. i've never seen anything like it in any election i've ever covered. >> not even joking. i have anxiety about it. and that's part of the reason that i talked to you before. we were ready to actually go with you getting serious though, donald trump was actually asked about this matter that we're talking about right now. and we have that soundbite now. he's in dearborn michigan. let's listen to trump talking about potentially declaring victory early what and ahead of the president, what are your comments? all i can tell you is she's an inferior candidate. she shouldn't be running she

didn't get one vote. she is totally an inferior candidate. she shouldn't be running. >> they took it away from biden. they've treated biden very unfairly. i have to tell you that when you talk about democracy, they have treated him very unfairly. >> okay mr. president, the vice president has criticized your elevation of robert f kennedy. she just said that she thinks he's the last person in america that should be involved in health care planning. >> how do you respond? well, that's because they've lost him. it was a democrat all his life. it's the kennedy >> so i'm not sure that he directly addressed the question of declaring victory early there. he spoke about kamala harris making false claims that she somehow took the nomination from joe biden tom, what do you make of the accusation? lobbied against trump and the potential for him to say that he's the president before he's actually. >> well, i don't think it's potential. i think it's pretty good likelihood because that's his playbook. that's what he often does. and the result is going to be, again, the key

problem here is when you take a bunch of people and convince them of something that is untrue and donald trump did not win last time period. that's the way it is. they get very, very unhappy with this notion that the system is broken. it's not working. they can't move ahead. they can't get what they want. here's the way i kind of sum it up in my head here donald trump feels that he won the last election he knows he was humiliated and humiliation is a very powerful force for his followers to since they want to come back honestly, the backwash of this election is going to depend not on the victors being victorious. no matter which side wins, it's going to be how the victors treat the people who lost, how much they recognize their fears, their concerns, their worries, and treat them seriously because those things don't just go away by being

way to move forward. so whichever side wins, if they want this country to be together and work together, they're going to have to pay attention to the other side and listen to the other side, even if they disagree with them. if they don't, i don't wind up just going through another episode of this, which has everyone anxious and everyone worn out. >> it's also how the loser behaves that's also going to be very important, how the losers behave. >> it's how the winners behave and that's you can't just throw over the checkerboard every time. you're not happy and say, well, i never lost because after all, we never finished the game. that's not how it works, tom. we so appreciate you having you on, not only for the levity and the last, but also the important perspective today. >> a lot of laughs today. although when you threw to me to explain the court cases, i was going to say i have no idea. >> that's kara's territory, that throwing out of the board game that happens at my house sometimes, but that's because i have small children well, yeah, small children. it's me. i'm the one throwing the board, though

you can find tom series american battleground on cnn.com. make sure to check that out. still ahead, the presidency may come down to who has the better ground game. we'll talk about how the campaigns are trying to get out the vote. and the crucial battleground of georgia. >> when we come back >> you look, you look you look, you look up. i like the way you look. you look you look, you look, you look up look, you look, you look, you look >> that inspires. >> you need new replacement windows, but you're just not sure if they're in the budget this year, right? i'm brian gary here with ted from renewal by andersen and he's here to talk about how to make window replacement more affordable

well, first, brian, you don't have to do them all. >> you could just replace your worst windows first or another way to make them affordable is to change the style of window. for example, you could do a sliding window instead of a casement. we have a lot of ways to make window projects really affordable compared to other window companies. you have a completely different business model. >> yeah, with other companies there's just too many people involved in the process. there's the manufacturer, the seller, and then the installer and then the customer and if you call with a problem, that's when they say, oh, well, we're the manufacturer. you have to call the installer for that problem, or vice versa we're the full service replacement window division of andersen with us. there's no passing the buck at renewal by andersen. we sell build install and warrant our windows and patio doors. so if there's ever an issue we take full responsibility for it why don't you sell vinyl windows? it doesn't matter if it's a $200 window or $1,200 window. >> a lot of vinyl windows just don't last for energy

efficiency and beauty. there's a much better option. our windows fiber composite material is available in nine designer colors, and it's much more durable than vinyl. well, fibrex is low maintenance like vinyl, but stronger than vinyl, and it's beautiful like wood, but doesn't require the upkeep of wood. >> it's renewal by anderson's black friday savings event. buy one window, patio door or entry door and get the next 140% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four. plus, get $45 off every window and door you buy and pay nothing for a year. don't miss our black friday savings event for a free appointment call before december 2nd, one 800 501 1400. that's one 800 501 1400. >> if you want guard tonight. >> oh, no. they just got simplisafe. it protects the whole home inside and out stop. >> this is simplisafe whoa. that was impressive.

into the burst of enthusiasm on the campus of savannah state university, sparked by harris's elevation to the top of the ticket. >> do you think joe biden giving way to kamala harris changed how people on this campus felt about the race? >> yes absolutely. >> her role at the rally, a nod by the harris campaign to the critical place young voters in this state have in the democratic coalition. do you think that had an impact on people wanting to vote or wanting to support? yeah. to support? definitely i think i went with we went together a group of our friends. we actually snuck into the vip section, right? yeah we did. >> we did. they was treating savannah state students like like royalty. it was it felt so amazing. >> that was an accident. and one of the youngest states in the country by median age where young voters helped propel the state's first black senator, raphael warnock, to victory in 2022. >> i think i received more

campaign messages than you know, like actual notifications on my phone on this campus. >> it wasn't the campaigns that drove critical registration and early vote efforts in organic and nonpartisan effort, driven by students including kayla jordan and taniya henderson, had been in place for months. >> we had chalk for people we had music out. like people came really over just to dance, and then we'd be like, hey, are you registered to vote? like, come inside, get registered outside the friendly campus confines, marlowe has confronted more acute and pervasive obstacles the campaign's expansive full state ground operation, racing the clock to make the case. >> we assume everybody knows all this stuff, but the actual reality is most people don't. >> they don't often eclipsed by a more daunting and time consuming barrier. >> you know, i probably spend at least you know, 2 or 3 conversations a day putting out that fire of disinformation. >> the concern is real for a campaign laser focused on shoring up signs of sagging

support with black men but one marlowe has found can be countered the former president saying he wants, you know law enforcement to be totally immune. well once i explain that to black voters especially black men, they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. we don't agree with that. no, no, that's a bad idea. and he said that and i pull up the clip and they're like, i didn't know that. >> an urgent push from a campaign that isn't really necessary back on campus. >> yes kamala hq is my favorite tiktok page right now. >> and where caitlin green is still marveling at her once in a lifetime role at the harris rally here this summer. despite the consequences for skipping a day at labs, there wasn't a note you could send a professor saying, like sorry, i have to introduce the vice president of the united states. >> no, no student first. yes they actually, you know, they don't really care that i introduced the president. you know they were more worried about their analytical chemistry. so they want me to write a note to professors if you could please because it's

hard. georgia is a study in contrast when it comes to the ground game, not just between trump and harris. obviously, what we saw from harris very different from what you've seen from the trump campaign largely reliant on outside groups, largely reliant on governor brian detente between the two republican camps pretty critical. a few weeks ago, but also the contrast between the harris campaign and the 2020 biden campaign. the current campaign, the largest in-state coordinated campaign in democratic history, pushing out much further trying to target rural voters to take down trump's margins in his strongholds. very different from what we saw in 2020. obviously, biden won in 2020. harris, hoping to do the same this time around all right phil mattingly, thank you so much for that report. >> still ahead, north korean troops heading to fight against ukraine, perhaps in just a matter of days. what we're learning about russia's plan to mobilize those troops why do nfl players choose a sleep number bed? >> i like to sleep cool and i

to begin in the coming days. so this is the moment that u.s. officials and south korean officials, of course, have been watching for, as they have tracked these north koreans moving to russia. the fact that they have been trained by russian soldiers, they have been trained across the board, really on drones, on artillery, on basic infantry operations. the secretary of state said yesterday. so they have some capabilities as they're heading into the battlefield. there are questions, however about how effective these north korean soldiers can actually be. tasha bertrand, our colleague at the pentagon, has talked to sources who said that many of them are actually special operations soldiers who are going in. so how effective they can actually be on the ground is a question mark. and these intelligence officials have also said the expectation is that north korea actually wants them to get some combat think about north korea they haven't actually had a war. these soldiers haven't actually engaged in warfare in 70 years now. so this actually gives

them some experience on the battlefield. we'll see how effective they can actually be. but one last bit to mention here is the secretary of state also mentioned that the u.s. is in touch with china. they've talked to them. he said they have had robust conversations with china in the last week to try and convince them to do something to prevent north korea from continuing to send these troops into russia. questions, obviously, about how effective those conversations would be given how much support china has given to russia's defense industrial base throughout the entirety of this war and the friendship between xi jinping and vladimir putin. it will be interesting to monitor this latest development in the war in ukraine. kylie atwood, thank you so much. >> still ahead, how donald trump is targeting one battleground state with conspiracy theories about election fraud. we'll talk about all important pennsylvania in just moments and drivetime dot >> we've been hard at work and we finally did it. >> did you make it so i can finally shop for thousands of cars with no hit to my credit.

disputes in pennsylvania. he says in those two counties, it appears the safeguards in place worked. >> the authorities in lancaster and york county noticed what was going on. they paused. all those registrations, launched an investigation and determined that some of them might be improper. but others were perfectly can go forward. >> pennsylvania's secretary of state, a republican, also spoke of his state's safeguards. >> elections in pennsylvania, whether you're a voter or a candidate, should have confidence in in the integrity of our elections and that they are free, fair, safe and secure. >> pennsylvania's democratic governor josh shapiro posted on quote stoke chaos in his state, given donald trump's history of lying about the u.s. election system, i think that it's fair for reporters to say that he is essentially laying the groundwork to call the 2024 election rigged. >> others are sowing doubts, too. u.s. intelligence has determined that russian operatives were behind this fake video, which circulated on

social media purporting to show someone destroying mail in ballots for trump again this video is fake. in addition, election officials in battleground states tell cnn they've been trying and largely failing to combat a torrent of misinformation coming from billionaire trump ally elon musk as he stumps for trump in those states a pennsylvania election official telling cnn quote, elon musk is a huge problem there. >> he has millions of followers on x, on social media and he has also spread donald trump's baseless lies about the election. >> musk and one of his attorneys have not responded to cnn's questions to them about the concerns of him spreading misinformation. an x spokesperson said the platform is enforcing its policies on election interference and misleading content as part of his response to donald trump's allegations of voter fraud in his state, pennsylvania's democratic governor josh shapiro pointed out that he,

shapiro, was the state's attorney general back in 2020 when trump repeatedly attacked the elections process in pennsylvania and tried to overturn the results there. shapiro says that at that time, trump went zero for 43. in his court cases in pennsylvania. brian todd, cnn, washington still ahead, one dictionary announcing its word of the year. >> it means a confident messy way of life. any guesses? >> we're going to tell you after the break humana a more human way to health care hi my name is damian clark. >> if you have both medicare and medicaid, i have some really encouraging news that you'll definitely want to hear. >> depending on the plans available in your area, you may be eligible to get extra benefits with the humana medicare advantage dual eligible special needs plan
