7:04 am
>> reporter: it is, george. look, the governor there is not on the ballot, but glenn youngkin is hoping this issue will motivate voters. he is promising to pass a 15 week abortion ban if he gets a republican state legislature. he is promising to act on a host of issues. lingering over that race, those questions, those lingering whisperings about whether youngkin will be a late entry to challenge donald trump. >> there are two big governors races. >> reporter: there are. down in kentucky, the popular democratic coverager there andy beshear. he's looking for a second term. his challenger daniel cameron is trying very hard to tie him to president biden. down in mississippi, this is an incredible race, a very surprisingly tight race between an unpopular incumbent who is mired in a welfare fund scandal. his opponent, george, only in mississippi, he is also a cousin of elvis pressley.

>> what are you trying to say there, mary? okay. rachel scott is here with more on what voters are saying on the most important issues and which party they trust more to handle them. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: good morning. local and state wide races will be a major test for which issues are energizing voters ahead of the presidential election next year. our latest abc news poll is already showing what will be top of mind for voters. the economy inflation are the top two issues for americans. 74% say the economy is very important to them, while 69% say inflation is very important. and as for who they trust more to handle those issues. republicans are more likely to be trusted on those top two issues. polls showing americans trust republicans to do a better job on the economy over democrats 35% to 25%. those numbers hold for tackling inflation, too. most americans see crime and gun violence as very important as well, but they are divided on which party they trust more to handle it.
7:06 am
republicans have an edge over democrats on crime, while democrats have an edge over republicans on gun control. as for abortion our poll shows it's less of a priority for americans, but when we look at the past midterms and the recent special elections, there's no doubt it has mobilized democratic voters and they're hoping that it does again, george. >> okay. thank you very much. latest on donald trump. he took the stand in his $250 million civil fraud trial. it was combative testimony. trump repeatedly clashed with the judge, who is also the jury in this case. senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky has been tracking the trial. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: george, good morning. donald trump spent five hours on the witness stand here marked by insults, irritation and his insistence he is far wealthier than he looks on paper. this morning former president trump is off the witness stand and on the attack. >> this is a scam. this is a case that should have never been brought. >> reporter: trump testified with disdain for a case that threatens his business and a judge who has already determined trump defrauded banks by overvaluing his assets and inflating his net worth.
7:07 am
he always rules against me, trump complained. this is a very unfair trial. judge engoron found trump's responses long winded and off topic and told him to answer yes or no, at one point asking his attorney, can you control your client? this is not a political rally. this is a courtroom. the judge telling trump, you can attack me. you can do whatever you want. but answer the questions. far from inflating his net worth, trump insisted he's worth billions more than his financial statements indicated and he said banks didn't care about the statements anyway. they were just something that you would have. trump deflected any blame to his accountants but also acknowledged his own role in preparing those statements. i would see them and maybe, on occasion, have suggestions. he conceded some of his properties were valued incorrectly, like his trump tower triplex listed at three times its actual size and seven springs estate, north of new york city, listed at ten times its assessed value. i thought it was too high an we lowered it, trump said. >> he rambles.
7:08 am
he hurls insults. but we expected that. at the end of the day, the documentary evidence demonstrated that, in fact, he falsely inflated his assets. >> reporter: ivanka trump will be the state's last witness when she takes the stand wednesday. she is not a defendant in the case but, like her brothers who are defendants, she has denied involvement in her father's financial documents and blamed others. >> he has accountants who do all sorts of stuff. but, no. sorry. i don't specifically know what was prepared on his behalf. >> reporter: trump is now fun raising off of his testimony here, urging donors to support his campaign, even as he tries to convince the court the vastness of his wealth, george, should not be questioned. george? >> thank you very much. let's bring in dan abrams. you saw the judge call out donald trump saying this is not a political rally. how did he help himself or hurt himself legally? >> as a legal matter, this is a
7:09 am
disastrous effort. right? this judge is the trier of fact. this is the jury, right? donald trump is insulting the jury. he knows this case is basically over. the judge already determined there was fraud. there's some additional counts at issue. the real question is what's the punishment going to be? he is playing in the end to the appellate court. meaning he's hoping this judge lashes out. he's hoping this judge does things that he will be able to use on appeal. so i think when it comes to this judge and this ruling, the trump team is basically thrown in the towel. >> what could the penalties be? >> anything from a lot of money, to losing the ability to do business in the state of new york not just for donald trump, but for his kids. >> we'll see ivanka trump tomorrow. then what? >> the rest of the case for the state and then the defense is expected to present a relatively short case. we expect this case should be over sometime in mid to end of december. >> dan abrams thank you very much. linsey? >> now to the war in the middle

7:12 am
these criminals and hamas is the military pressure that we are exerting. >> if hamas agrees to release the hostages, then there would be a pause? >> well, there would be a cease fire for that purpose. and we're waiting for that to happen. it hasn't happened so far. >> do you know where the hostages are? do you know where the americans are? >> we have some intelligence. i'm not sure it's wise to share here with hamas. >> reporter: as the fighting decimates entire towns in the territory, netanyahu asked about the future of government in gaza after the war ends. and whether there's any disagreement on that with the white house. >> president biden has said it would be a mistake for israel to occupy gaza. who should govern gaza when it is over? >> i think israel will for an indefinite period without the overall security responsibility because we've seen what happens when we don't have it. >> reporter: among the deepening humanitarian concerns in gaza, the world health organization saying more than 500 people have been killed in air strikes surrounding or at health care facilities since the war began

i didn't. i didn't know that i was missing, that there was a family that had been searching for me. i had a very loving and faithful father who took care of me my whole life and gave me the faith that i needed throughout life. his family is from england, so there's not a lot of family around here where we live for us to visit and see. so just knowing that there was this greater family that i could actually, you know, talk with and pray with and meet. it was just a joyful feeling. >> take us inside that moment when you found out your parents were murdered, when you learned this truth for the first time. >> it hit my heart overwhelming with sadness for the tragedy that my parents had to go through. i was very torn with that. but in learning that, i knew

8:24 am
god's message through my story. and learning this new information about my life gave me a new story to tell. >> you're still doing more work to solve cold cases. >> i am. i'm so blessed to be part of an organization called for justice. this has evolved into a search for me. a fun has been set up in my parents memory called the dean and tina memorial fund. in this fund, we hope to solve more unidentified cases such as john and jane doe's cold cases. we hope to identify more and solve those cases. for other families. our families prayer and hope is to be able to turn my parents tragedy into a miracle for other families. >> good luck with that, and thanks for coming in today. >> i appreciate the time. thank you so much. god bless. >> "finding baby holly" is out

8:43 am
have to read night lark first in order to understand it? >> so night lark is the first book in the series. it is about an island that appears once every 100 years to host a game where six rulers fight to break their deadly curses. to break all the curses one of the six rulers has to die and one will win unmatched power. there's plot twists. you don't know who's lying until the last page. night bane, which is out now, starts where night lark leaves off. you can almost read them like a giant book. >> you talk about all the plots. among them you have a love triangle. you said you don't like the idea of a love triangle. but it's something that's helped you connect with your readers. >> i have never liked love triangles. we have ones such as twilight. i never liked those because it seems people were to one side or the other. >> teams. >> right. and they weren't going to change. the challenge i had to do with white lark, people don't know which team they are. i think readers when they read the second book are going to change their team or at least become conflicted.

8:45 am
keep us on the edge. alex, we thank you so much. just so thrilled with all -- before we go, what advice for anybody who, like you, somebody who started writing as a teenager and feels like -- how do you finally make to it this place? >> my advice would be just don't give up. i remember when i was 12 years old, i was trying to get an agent, a publisher. i wrote another book, another book. i would get hundreds of rejections. i always felt i might not be good enough because why am i getting so many rejections? but the truth is, everybody gets rejected for a really long time. there is no such thing as an overnight success. if you're doing this, keep going. you never know what's going to happen. take your destiny into your own hands. i traditionally, publishers weren't letting this book in, so i posted on tik tok and created my own door. there's so many different doors now with social media, so just keep going. i believe in you. >> so true across industries in so many aspects of life. alex, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> continued success.
