labor to stay cool in sacramento at 112 on your monday afternoon. 109 in bakersfield. 102 again in salt lake city. we've had 32 days above 100 this summer in the slc. eastern half of the nation, scattered showers and thunderstorms. typical late summertime pattern for your labor day monday. otherwise, we're dry but warm, even into the northern plains. we're also watching the tropics. the main area closest to people or americans would be tropical storm earl just north of puerto rico and the virgin islands, looking for some rain there. that should drift northward maybe toward bermuda by mid-week. >> all right, paul goodloe at the weather channel. to memphis now. and new details tonight about a missing teacher whose abduction friday was caught on camera. cbs's elise preston is there. elise, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, jericka. police have not confirmed if their large presence here on the ground or in the air is related to that missing mother's

abduction, but they do tell us they are following all leads. meanwhile, the suspect in this case is behind bars, charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. a community is desperate for answers tonight after 34-year-old eliza fletcher was abducted while jogging early friday morning near the university of memphis. police sharing these photos with the public in hopes someone might help locate her. but according to police records obtained by cbs news additional unreleased surveillance video shows the well-known teacher violently abducted. police say this man, cleotha abston, waited for the memphis mother to run by him before grabbing her and forcing him into his suv. investigators say they found her phone and his sandals at the scene. cell records showed abston's phone in the area at the same time of fletcher's disappearance. her family pleading for her safe

return. >> we believe someone knows what happened and can help. >> reporter: miriam smith attends church with fletcher. >> she's got a lot of tenacity. she's strong. >> reporter: outside of fletcher's memphis home police collected evidence. they also hauled this dumpster away from the home of abston's brother. records show the suspect's brother told police he spotted the 38-year-old suspect scrubbing down the inside of his car with cleaner and "acting strange." now, court records show the suspect has a criminal past here in tennessee. he pleaded guilty to especially aggravated kidnapping in 2001. meanwhile, fletcher's family is offering a reward to her safe return. jericka? >> still so many questions. elise preston reporting from memphis tonight. thank you. well, labor day typically marks the kickoff of the home stretch of an election year. former president donald trump attended this rally last night. it was his first public appearance since the fbi's search at mar-a-lago. cbs's christina ruffini is in

our washington bureau with more. christina, the former president had a lot to say last night. >> reporter: that's right. good evening, jericka. the former president spoke for almost two hours at a campaign-style rally that had himself and his ideology front and center. and that may or may not be a good thing for republicans come fall. >> our country's going to hell. >> reporter: that was the overall theme of the former president's remarks in pennsylvania last night. taking aim at president biden. >> he's an enemy of the state, you want to know the truth. >> reporter: and the fbi. following the search and seizure of classified marked documents at his florida home. >> the fbi and the justice department have become vicious monsters. >> maga forces are determined to take this country backwards. >> reporter: it's been a week of big speeches in the state. where both democrats and republicans are trying to sway voters ahead of the critical midterms. >> there's nothing the president said on thursday that has not been said by leading conservatives. >> basically condemned all

republicans who supported donald trump in the last election. >> reporter: but the fbi investigation into government documents, many marked classified, at the former president's home is complicating republican messaging. >> i have lived in the classified world most of my professional career. i personally wouldn't do that. but i'm not the president of the united states. >> reporter: and the january 6th committee is still calling witnesses, which could include former vice president mike pence. >> i would assume he's going to come forward and testify voluntarily, the way the vast majority of people have. >> reporter: now, president biden will be back on the road tomorrow with stops in wisconsin and then pennsylvania. jericka? >> very important state. christina, thank you. with the midterms approaching there is deep concern tonight among americans about the state of our democracy. a cbs news poll out today shows 72% of americans think u.s. democracy is under threat. why? the top answers include the influence of money and politics,

potential for political violence and attempts to overturn elections. cbs's mark strassmann has more. >> when i'm governor, we're going to take a sledgehammer to these damn electronic voting machines. >> reporter: take arizona's kari lake or pennsylvania's doug mastriano. >> we the people are pissed. >> reporter: republican nominees for governor and election deniers. evangelists of the big lie. cbs news election expert david becker. >> what's really important for voters to understand is our process is actually as secure and transparent and professional as it's ever been. >> reporter: and yet since the 2020 election at least 39 states changed or updated voting laws, often spurred by invented claims of widespread election fraud. texas imposed new i.d. requirements for mail-in ballots. georgia restricted dropboxes and absentee ballots. florida established an elections crime unit. yet come election day november 8th -- >> for most voters they're going to find that the experience is

very similar to 20 -- to 2020. >> reporter: the bigger worry, what comes next? more january 6th outrage? claims of election rigging. crowds baying for blood. >> nancy! oh, nancy! >> reporter: potentially encouraged by candidates who may refuse to lose. our research shows in these six battleground states in this november's elections for offices that help certify elections, 53 of 88 republican candidates are election deniers. that's 60%. in arizona's four major republican primaries steal champions won all of them. worrying other republicans there. >> this cannot be accepted because our democracy cannot withstand it. so we have to continue to push back. >> reporter: like many election deniers, doug mastriano says as governor he would have refused to certify joe biden won

pennsylvania. he was in the crowd on january 6th. with or without new election laws every state's chief election officer has to certify results. usually that's the secretary of state. and this november a number of conservative candidates running for that office are also election deniers. jericka? >> mark strassmann reporting for us. thank you. overseas now, there's a change coming to britain's parliament. the ruling conservative party is picking a new leader to succeed prime minister boris johnson. cbs's ian lee is in london. >> reporter: it's britain's battle royale for prime minister. in one corner foreign secretary liz truss. >> i can lead. i can make tough decisions. and i can get things done. >> reporter: and in the other former finance minister rishi sunak. >> i am prepared to give everything i have in service to our nation. >> reporter: but are brits ready

for rishi? he'd be the first person of color to serve as prime minister and first who follows the hindu faith. the 42-year-old worked at goldman sachs, then a multibillion-dollar hedge fund and an investment firm he co-founded before entering government. >> our friends who are working class -- >> reporter: but a recently revealed 2001 video showed a younger sunak sneering that he didn't have any working-class friends. he quickly backtracked. if truss gives you deja vu, your eyes aren't deceiving you. she's fashioned herself as the new iron lady. even copying margaret thatcher's fancy photo ops. she's tried to appear tough, even to the point of ridicule. >> we import 2/3 of our cheese. that is a disgrace. >> reporter: the 47-year-old front-runner's loyalty to outgoing prime minister boris johnson propelled her popularity with the conservative base.

but sunak took a hit. seen as boris johnson's brutus, he triggered the prime minister's downfall after multiple scandals. whoever wins the knockout, they'll be clobbered by the country's colossal problems, from skyrocketing inflation, ongoing strikes, and a war in europe. but before the next prime minister steps through that door, they'll make a 1,000-mile round trip. for the first time in over 100 years the ruling monarch will appoint the new leader somewhere other than buckingham palace here in london. queen elizabeth is in scotland and can't leave due to mobility issues. ian lee, cbs news, downing street. to some breaking news now out of canada, at least 10 people have been killed, several others injured in a stabbing rampage. it happened in 13 different locations in two communities in the province of saskatchewan. royal canadian mounted police say they've launched manhunts across three western provinces for two suspects.
