second best talent in his own bedroom because michelle obama is just that much better than even barak obama is. i think he would readily admit that both of them out there together is just the dynamic duo for for kamala harris, unless juxtapose this for one, for one moment. i mean, if you think back to 1990 and everybody who's run for president since you know, 1990 when i was 6-years-old anderson, you might have been slightly older than i, but if you think about everybody who's running for president on the republican side, there's only one person who's running for president or vice president who is standing on stage or endorsed donald trump. that's sarah palin. that's the only person. and so when you have these people, whether or not it's built when hillary clinton or barak and michelle obama, you have this talent. i'll war that have coming outside. jimmy carter casting his ballot from truman to kamala. i mean, you have people under this tent who is all hands on deck in the talent is a measurable yes, barak obama is one of our greatest heroes and icons but this team is like daniels is a coll

he didn't do nothing except those big tax cuts how do you respond to that finance during barak obama's administration. >> let me tell you the economy under his last, especially the last five years, was growing at about one to one-and-a-half percent per year, i think at the time president obama was saying saying that this era of large economic growth is something of the past. we're going to have a more consistent economy. will, in his words, a consistent the economy meant one that barely grew. so when donald trump came in, he brought his tax cut policy in, which cut taxes across the board for everybody in our country a couple of the fact that he did cut massive regulations from the obama administration. and what did we see economic growth in the united states went from 11.5 percent under barak obama to three, three-and-a-half percent under donald trump, wages adjusted for inflation, like i said, because it's the truth, increased for every, every, every subgroup of americans in our country though wealth gap was closing, we were actually booming economically, far more than we did under ba

. >> the first one featuring her onstage with former president barak obama bruce springsteen will also be there. as superstar beyonce hits the trail with the vice president tomorrow also breaking with just 12 days to go, donald trump is rallying voters in arizona and nevada. this as a former swimsuit model, is now talking to cnn about her claim of being groped by trump back in the 90s in an alleged attempt to show up for jeffrey epstein, who was later convicted of sex crimes, plus breaking news in a sensational murder case, the los angeles district attorney is now recommending that the menendez brothers be re-sentenced, opening the door to their possible possible parole, nearly 30 years after they were convicted and in prison for killing their parents welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in the situation room we're awaiting a major kamala harris event event campaign events, as should say, in the pivotal swing state of georgia, the vice president is set to appear with some of her most famous supporters, including barack obama an

i think barak obama can speak to this is a continuation of my legacy, my former vice president was, is now president. and this is another person who i've worked with so know who i can vouch for, right? >> right. i guess i don't want any sort dynasty somehow all the connotations are wrong, but i understand what you're saying. >> alright, thanks so much to all of you next we are live at elon musk's event, which is just outside philadelphia, offering voters, there are 100 bucks if they help him out, his presence thanks, senator john fetterman says he's very worried about price of every foot login to after 699. wait, subway neither. >> now foot law for just six hours i, still love to serve snowboard and of course, skate. >> so i take kuno magnesium to support my muscle and bone health. kuno is high absorption magnesium glycine. it helps me get the full benefits of magnesium kunal, the brand i trust dr. box. there were many failed attempts to fix my teeth every touched all my wedding photos and even affecting my health i trusted you because his specialize in dental implants, you created a p

you're rolling out the two most popular a presidential figures or national political figures and barak obama and michelle obama is nothing but an added virtue. when are attribute and they're going to places that matter like georgia, like michigan, michelle obama is loved, barack obama is loved. and yes, he opened up an entire conversation around black men. but even if you look below the surface, i was looking at a speech given an assurance searched by may arise barakah of newark, and he's running for governor of new jersey. you have people like frank scott, you have randall woodfin, you have all of these individuals who are in elected office who are doing that work. i have a feeling this is just my feeling because i had this experience for the past 40 years. i've actually being one that black man are going to march to the polls in roaring numbers in places like detroit and milwaukee, atlanta, and philadelphia, and brock obama is helping them yeah, it's going it will be it will be a big moment to see them on the trail. next week, for sure. >> it's good to see you, bakari, it's good to see mad

if you want to take that comment, pete, and compare it to what barak obama said. that is not the only thing that is worrisome about what donald trump said. >> though. >> let's take into consideration what arnold palmer's daughter said. she was disgusted by it. she said her father other would be disgusted by it. and it really shows that this is not a man who is fit for office. >> and the other things that he has said, frankly are much more concerning talking about sicking the military, the american military on americans in our own country and so i think what the kamala harris campaign is doing in terms of strategy is really smart because she is underscoring that all of these things that donald trump is closing with his closing argument makes zero sense. >> they are highly unhinged. they are dangerous, and they prove just how unfit donald trump is to be elected the leader of the free world. and she's not the only one who is saying it. you have hundreds it's have republicans who are with her in this so many of the people who served alongside donald trump in the oval

democrats are unleashing arguably their biggest heavyweight and chief surrogate former president barak obama. >> obama is set to join the campaign sprint for vice president kamala harris and kick a 27 day battleground blitz across america our tom foreman has the details. tom, where's he going to go first to your home state? well, i would assume so. yes. which biden won by 80,000 votes a little more in 2020. and he's hoping you can make the same thing happen for kamala harris mission to make sure his successor, former president donald trump does not make a return to the white house we do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. >> we have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse kamala harris back to obama early in his historic bids for the presidency and for reelection. >> president obama will fight for working families. >> now fighting for her, he will be storming battleground states starting in pennsylvania, making good on the pledge. he and former first lady michelle obama offered just days after harris became the da facto nominee, michel

and of course barak obama and kamala harris will be appearing momentarily that rally underway. and priscilla alvarez is there. i know priscilla, you've got some new reporting from the harris campaign. what are you learning right now? >> yeah. as the campaign brings out its star power over the next several days when i'm being told is that the vice president is also honing in on her own closing argument and we've already started to get a told by senior campaign drawing that stark contrast between her and the former president. in addition to that, she will continue to amplify issues like reproductive freedom, which she has been a key voice on since the beginning of the year before she was even the top of the party's ticket. but of course, as you mentioned, the star is we're here, are here in georgia. were springsteen performing a little bit ago? of course, he has been a frequent presence in the waning days of the election for democratic candidates. and soon we're going to hear from former president barack obama, followed by the vice president. this will mark their first joint camp

night's state of the race president barak obama and the vice president warning of a potential second trump term between whether we will have four more years of incompetence failure, and disaster, or whether we will we'll begin the four greatest years in the history of our country the los angeles district attorney george gascon, is recommending a resentencing for erik and lyle menendez under the law, resentencing is appropriate and i am going to recommend out to afford more newsroom with max foster and christina macfarlane hello, a warm welcome to our viewers joining us from the u.s. and around the world. i'm max foster and i'm christina macfarlane. it's friday, october 25, 9:00 a.m. here in london, 3:00 a.m. in texas, where kamala harris and donald trump are expected to be campaigning in the coming hours. but just 11 days to go in the race for the white house. harris will be joined at a rally in houston for abortion rights by superstar beyonce. he's making her first appearance on the campaign trail. >> trump was spent part of his day in texas, will be he'll be with senator ted cruz b

this evening and democrats looking to former president barak obama really to boost the energy and engagement among the base in pittsburgh and what this tells us is the campaign pain is at this stage where they are deploying their most powerful surrogates obama typically sent into great effect in the closing weeks of democratic campaigns. what we're seeing from harris is her trying to recreate the multiracial coalition that helped president biden win in 2020. she's not quite there yet. it's important to keep in mind, john and a lot of places voting has already started. so obama and other surrogates, they can essentially encourage voters if they can to vote right away. in fact, last week when we were on the trail with the vice president in flint, michigan, she told voters not to wait if they received their absentee valid to go ahead and turn them in. john. >> yeah. i mean, that is something the obama campaigns in 08 and 12 really revolutionize getting people to go to events and vote. then not weighted. it's a way to actually turn out the vote literally in the moment even mckend. thank you so m

pick i've been around those rooms and i saw joe biden was the last person in the room, often with barak obama, but barack obama made the decision i need say, thank you very much for your advice. >> i'll go in the direction i want to go only the president makes decisions. i think the way donald trump's behaving in the final stanzas of this campaign should give people some concern about how he's going to make decisions. >> so let me let me kit that point right there because abc news and ipsos have a different poll out today, which has a kind of a startling top line number. gary langer, the pollsters there, noted that 49%, about half of those polled see donald trump is a fascist, which is sort of a stunningly high number. so david axelrod, when you see this does this may be explained in this, by the way, this poll was taken before the john kelly comments came out with you know, you hear him on tape saying that donald trump said he he saw some good things they hitler did some good things does this explain why the harris is the harris campaign is maybe trying to go down this path, ruining look, i

>> harris trying to turn out the vote in georgia, holding her first rally with former president barak obama near atlanta. and they're going to be joined in by some pretty big names in showbiz, bruce springsteen, samuel l. jackson, tyler perry, spike lee, meantime, former president donald trump is zeroing in on two critical states out west with rallies in arizona and nevada today cnn's steve contorno is in tempe, arizona ahead of trump's first rally of the day but let's start with cnn's priscilla alvarez chris, who's live for us in clarkston, georgia. priscilla tell us more about the message the vice president is intending to send to voters in georgia, where early voting is well underway intended to energize and mobilize voters as we near election day. of course, as you just mentioned, where early voting has already begun. in fact, in this county, one-third of active voters have already cast their ballots. so this is a rally where the vice president, alongside former president barak obama we'll be urging voters to cast their ballots and also to help mobilize some of their supporters. but it

you go back to 2020 while barak obama won been black voters by 90 points, you'll look at kamala harris has margin in the polls right now. what you see is, look, she's ahead, but that margin is significantly lower than that. it's 25 points lower than that, of course, black voters are so important in states like georgia, north carolina, michigan, of course, where the campaigns have been fighting ferocious they including today, what kamala harris being up there, but it's not just black voters, right? let's talk about white working class voters. white voters without a college degree, who of course are so important in those great lake battleground states where that make up the plurality of voters. talking pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, what do we see? what we see is that although barack obama isn't that popular among white voters without college she's, he is significantly more. yeah, significantly more popular than kamala harris's. and of course key did very well in those great lake battleground states back in 2012 and 2008. so i think that these are two groups that obama appeals among

kamala harris is heading to georgia today for her first joint event with barak obama. of course, he brings the political star power. but look who else is joining the vice president, bruce springsteen, tyler perry spike lee, and samuel l. jackson while harris looks to energize her voters in the peach state, her running mate is making three stops in north carolina, a state democrats haven't won since 2008. donald trump is also in the crucial sunbelt today with events tonight and arizona and nevada, while jd vance camp pains in michigan cnn's priscilla alvarez is in clarkston, georgia, where seize on the news that we got from the new york times and the atlantic this week about john kelly's criticisms of his former boss i've obtained a digital ad that the campaign is going to be running in the battleground states as part of a $370 million ad buy that essentially uses what john kelly said about former president donald trump from his remarks to the new york times and the atlantic, and uses the vice president's response at the town hall condemning that and criticizing the for

actually, we just got a little soundbite from barak obama speaking about this campaign, let me play this this clip one side, somebody who really just cares about himself now, everything's about him too. am tweets and tirades no. >> and kamala's somebody who comes from modest beginnings. you had to fight for what she had. and that's the kind of person i'd want to vote for because i had know push comes to shove. she's going to be fighting for me and that's the kind of president that we need how much is he going to help her know? i mean, he's democratic royalty of course, he's going to help her but, but last week was a tough week for governor harris as it relates to barak obama. he did he did generate way too much negative the news for her, but i think ultimately the former president is going to be incredibly helpful. you're going to see him in georgia in places like north carolina, places where it's going to matter, speaking to a variety of different voters because i mean, we assume that barak obama is key to turning out black vote. but i think his reaches much broader and bigger than even

one of those states is michigan — where former president barak obama was campaigning on behalf of kamalaichelle obama is also due to head there with the vice president on saturday. quinn kline—felter is senior news editor at detroit public radio. he told me more about the us presidential candidates on the campaign trail. it is too find, i think. kamala harris has made a number of inroads into trying to make people feel their situation will be getting better, she has touted policies about ending price gouging, and former president donald trump has decried this and said that is not going to do much, and he will turn it into same,. and he will turn it into saying, oh, you're going to create a communist state by trying to control prices, etc. but that is something that really does affect many, many people here. and it's something that has had people on the fence. when i talked to them, they'll say, we remember back in the trump days and things were so much better. they neglect the 2020 year when covid hit and when things just dropped, you know, through the floor. and then they will say at th

let's get back to the campaign trail right now where former president barak obama will soon hold his second campaign event to rally support for kamala harris. we're standing by for that rally and arizona right now. we're also learning more about how the harris campaign is leveraging the star power of both barak and michelle obama, joining us now from arizona cnn senior political commentator, david axelrod is a former obama senior adviser. david, thanks so much for joining us. so barakin, michelle obama, of course, are two of the most popular figures as we all know, in the democratic party. but voting in many places as already begun as the harris campaign in your opinion, waited too long to put them out there on the campaign trail no, i don't think so. >> this is when there's a great deal of focus and look, they're using them in the way that i think they should be used. this is a get out the vote time in this campaign, and they are trying to there, there is a persuasion element to what they're doing out there. but there is an excitement element. what they're doing out there, they attr

. >> that is where bruce springsteen is and of course, barak obama and kamala harris will be appearing momentarily that rally underway. and priscilla alvarez is there. i know priscilla, you've got some new reporting from the harris campaign. what are you learning right now >> as like campaign brings out its star power over the next several days, what i'm being told is that the vice president is also honing in on her own closing argument and we've already started to get a glimpse of it. recall that during the cnn town hall yesterday, she said that former president donald trump had a quote, enemies list. when she had a quote to do less your repeated that today and i'm told by senior campaign official that that is going to feature prominently over the next several days as the vice president doubles down on drawing that stark contrast between her and the former president in addition to that, she will continue to amplify issues like reproductive freedom, which she has been a key voice on since the beginning of the year before she was even the top of the party's ticket but of course, as you

biden won that democrats want when in 2020, in 2016, hillary clinton won 217,000 votes in 2012, barak obama 216,000 votes in a 2008 and alleging that obama won by a lot and wisconsin 205,000 votes. so you can see how every four years democrats had been growing their vote in dane county increasingly becoming one of the most important counties in one of the most important states in this election sara. >> and that was a lot of math. >> and i'm really proud of you doing that so well, at this hour, john berman, i imagine when much of it was actually correct new this morning, judges in north carolina and michigan have rejected republican challenges to ballots cast by us citizens living abroad the republican national committee filed lawsuits challenging overseas ballots cast by voters who never resided in those states. and the overseas vote could be crucial for democrats. this election cycle, cnn's marshall cohen is joining us now. marshall, what the judges say in their rulings hey, sara, good morning. they resoundingly rejected these lawsuits two big losses for the republicans so we're talking ab

can take anything anybody says, even people as eloquent as barak obama, as eloquent as bill clinton,e it out of context and make it into a gotcha moment i had seen the entire the entire clip of what he had said and he spent the time before this talking about the border bill that did not pass. the point he was making is if we don't want laken riley's to happen again we need to pass comprehensive border bill. we need to have an immigration bill that provides more agents, that provides more jurisdiction, that provides charges for judges letting people reading people. >> that's that's the point he was making. >> but when i listen, anytime you have the big dog bill clinton out in rural areas, he has great at that. one of the things he said was, i asked the harris campaign to send me to the country. >> i know where i belong. i know where my people are. he is great for voter turnout, april. >> do you think he is? >> i think he's a little rusty to be very sincere with you. i think we didn't have bidding at the border president trump's last year in office border crossings were way down, but n

some were killed this is a serious matter former president barak obama also warning of this as well whilepaigning for kamala harris in detroit, michigan. >> last night, recalling these scenes you see on your, on your screen, the chaos us in violence that happened. there, stoked by election misinformation pushed by trump in 2020 the day after the 2020 election, thousands of mail ballots were being counted right here in this convention center because donald trump was willing to spread lies about voter fraud in michigan, protesters came down, banged on the windows, shouting, let us stop the count. >> poll workers besides being intimidated joining us right now, is the secretary of state of michigan, jocelyn benson, secretary. >> thank you for being here. you remember those moments probably better than anyone other than the people who are being intimidated and threatened inside that building how are you and your office preparing differently? this year compared to last election for the possibility of threats of violence and challenges that could be coming at you in the wake of this election wel

he was not interested in actually trying saw prompt, do not move do not barak obama, speaking there something of a stem winder in madison well i wisconsin, the battleground state, taking on trump extolling the virtues of harris and walz we're going to squeeze in a quick break and then we'll be right back the ozempic treason my a1c, cv risk and lost some weight in studies the majority of people reached an a1c under seven and maintained it. >> i'm under seven ozempic lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events and such a stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease, i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to 14 pounds. >> a lost some week i was epic, isn't for people with type one diabetes, don't share needles or pens or reuse needles, don't take ozempic if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer? >> that's her or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type two or allergic to stop ozempic and get medical help right away. if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction, serious side effects may include do pancrea

can take anything anybody says, even people as eloquent as barak obama, as eloquent as bill clinton, take it out of context and make it into a gotcha moment. i had seen the entire the entire clip of what he had said and he spent the time before this talking about the border bill that did not pass the point he was making is if we don't want laken riley's to happen again, we need to pass comprehensive border bill. we need to have an immigration bill that provides more agents, that provides more jurisdiction, that provides charges for judges letting people are vetted and people that's that's the point he was making that listen, anytime you have the big dog bill clinton out in rural areas, he has great at that. one of the things he said was, i asked the harris campaign to send me to the country. i know where i belong. i know what my people are. he is great for voter turnout, able do you think he is? >> i think he's a little rusty to be very sincere with you. i think we didn't have bidding at the border president trump's last year in office border crossings were way down, but nobody, but

she hops back on the campaign trail today in battleground, georgia, joined by former president barak obamae vice president is running out of time to put some distance between herself and the former president as new polling suggests, the race is deadlocked. >> she's now betting on a strategy that paints the former president as a fascist just following the criticism for former white house chief of staff john kelly, who described trump as a danger to the country. harris is set to deliver her closing message in a speech next week from the ellipse near the white house, where trump delivered his infamous january 6 speech in 2021. good morning. you are live in the cnn newsroom. i'm jim acosta in washington >> let's get right to cnn's eva mckend and pennsylvania where the critics in the party had hoped had hoped she would have a stronger performance at that cnn town hall last night. what's the campaign saying about her performance? eva, what can you tell us? >> well, jim, they are confident in the strength of the argument that the vice president is making, that the former president, in her view, i

so that will be a space to watch with former president barak obama in detroit for sure. and new this morning, the vice president unveiling economic proposals targeting latino men in a push to grow support among this key voting block, the plan aims to lower costs increase homeownership in expand job opportunities. so this is similar to harris is proposal for black men, where she intends to increase startup funding by providing 1 million loans fully forgivable up to $20,000 to latino entrepreneurs and others to start part a business, then she's going to sit today with nbc and the spanish language network telemundo. we've got more of the policy proposals. they are includes building 3 million new affordable homes, and increasing annual first-time latino homebuyers to nearly 600,000. so some ambitious policy see proposals there eva, the kamala harris, liz cheney kind of get out the vote tour that we saw. what is your big takeaway from all of their events together in battle, in the battleground states so kate, this is about country over party. they maintain, and it is really a

an event in another key battleground, georgia, where but she will be joined by former president barak obama, joining us now to discuss susan rice, former director of the u.s. domestic policy council under president biden and former ambassador madam ambassador. good to see you us tonight. we're going to see president obama with vice president harris also the boss, bruce springsteen in georgia tomorrow in houston, we're going to see beyond, say willie nelson soon joining us, vice president harris. we saw this in 20162 stars coming out for hillary clinton. i wonder if you have any concern about the celebrities joining because i just want to play this from one of the undecided pennsylvania voters in last night's townhall i am very big on details. i'm big on numbers i am a widow with 100% responsibility for my family, for my kids, for their tuition's from my bills. and so i do my own taxes. i'm very much on top of every dollar and so that is where and i'm not really getting it from either candidate to be honest i that's where i just want to see what lines? >> pam, who was in that clip? she doesn

not only did you have barak obama, but you had samuel l. jackson, spike lee, tyler perry.he intent was, as polling has shown, a drift of some black men to donald trump. they wanted to double down and make sure that they can stop me any of that bleeding. >> all right. we're going to take a quick break, stay with us. we're also going to talk about the former president and his campaigning today as well. we're going to take a quick break. we'll be right back stupid tomorrow at nine on spam is not just span its data brokers selling your contact details, browsing, history, even social security number you know it sounds scary. so remove your personal data from data brokers within cagney, get the deal and go in cognitive now, which i'll get to decide when i get paid, it's kind of crazy. we can't choose when we get paid can change there for me. my pay less me get up to $500 of my pay when i needed there's no interests, no credit checks, you mandatory fees. my pay gives me the freedom to handle anything they like brings i have a big goals and i'm not waiting for payday anymore. and

that's where resolve former president barak obama joining vice president harris and their first appearance together on the trail out in suburban atlanta it was a star studded evening as you could see, it started with the boss it's getting on stage as the opening act springsteen also openly blasted donald trump as a wannabe tyrant. and after that, there was an unprecedented warning that we got from donald trump's predecessor donald trump's former chief of staff wanted his generals to be like hitler's generals. >> we do not need four years of a wannabe running around, trying to punish his enemies. that's not what you need in your life. americans, ready to turn the page we are ready for a better story. georgia, we're ready for a president, kamala harris and vice president harris followed that with her own closing message as she reiterated something you heard from her last night during cnn's town hall, why she thinks donald trump is more dangerous than ever? >> this is not 2016 it's not 2020 including because just a few months ago, the united states it's supreme court told the former president

barack obama, the political connection between vice president kamala harris and former president barak obama goes back two decades. aid say obama recalls first meeting harris in 2004 at a california fundraiser for his senate race. that meeting blossomed into now 20 year friendship. when obama first ran for president in 2008 harris was district attorney in san francisco. she took a political risk and endorsed him in the primary over hillary clinton obama won the iowa caucuses and went on to become president harris had campaigned for him in iowa and later in california obama returned the favor in 2010, loaning his star power to boost harris's campaign for attorney general of california dear friend of mine. >> so i want everybody to do right by her harris won. two years later in 2012, she found herself on stage at the democratic national convention. >> where obama gave her a coveted speaking role president obama will fight for working families. >> he will fight to level the economic playing field and fight to give every american the same fair shot. my family had in 2013, an awkward moment durin

baraka saying obama, flores rush limbaugh used to say barak hussein, obama. baraka said obama, we have someone in the white house who can barely talk fairly put together to coherent sentences who seems to have mental faculties that child is said is a person that has nothing going no intelligence whatsoever, but enough about kamala harris chuck schumer is here looking very glum, considering how woke your party has become. if kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president. kamala did an interview on fox news yesterday it went so poorly for her that the democrats have been forced to install another 100 drop boxes throughout the city. the only piece of advice i would have for her and the event that she wins would be there there were a lot of moments. let's discuss now with cnn senior political commentator, former trump campaign adviser david urban, also with us democratic strategist and former senior adviser to bernie sanders presidential campaigns chuck russia, nice to see both of you this morning. so david trump was sort of, you know,

in atlanta, georgia is going to be about energizing voters and doing that with former president barak obama. this will be the first time that vice president kamala harris and obama we'll be campaigning together. and it's going to be headlined by bruce springsteen, who of course, it has been a regular presence in the waning days of the election for democratic candidates. but even so, john, as you were just showing that clip of the town hall, the campaign is still doing the work of introducing and reintroducing the vital he's president to voters. and on that front, she was asked during the town hall how she would be different from a biden administration. take a listen continuation of the biden administration. i represent a new generation of leadership on a number of issues. i bring a whole set of different experiences to this job and the way i think about him than joe biden, some voters might ask, even in the white house for four years, you were vice president, not the president, but why wasn't any of that done? the last four years? >> well, there was a lot that was done, but there's more to

you're going to bulk up this one and will they actually turn out, i mean, van former president barak obama is about to cross this country for harris next weekend, former michelle obama, former first lady michelle obama will join her. why this many appearances though, just 18 days before the election is it too late or is this right on time it's right on time. >> look, these are nuclear weapons and when you're talking about michelle obama i mean, if you, if you have a hard time getting in and out of the rally today, way told michelle obama steps onto the stage. where does she steps onto the playing field? so you don't want to use all your best stuff early. you've got a lot of people who are going to want to have a sense of momentum. they're going to have a sense that they're joining something right here at the end. so i think i don't i don't think that you wanted to have michelle obama out there every day. i think you want to bring her in for the clothes she is the closer don't forget even during the 2008 campaign, everybody calls her the closer a bomb would come in. he say stuff, then they

narrowing their focus in on the battleground states new this morning, president, former president barak obama will hit the trail for kamala harris, chris crisscrossing swing states throughout the coming weeks. aides telling cnn the former president is concerned about democratic complacency in such a tight race. yesterday, harris appeared alongside prominent republican liz cheney in ripon, wisconsin the birthplace of the republican party i was a trump started spray tanning. i have never voted for a democrat but this year, i am proudly casting my vote for vice president kamala harris the former wyoming lawmaker, of course, the daughter of former vice president, very conservative vice president dick cheney well liz cheney lost for congress she was terrible. >> liz cheney is a stupid warhawk. all she wants to do is shoot missiles at paypal. i really think it hurts. i think frankly, if kamala i think they hurt each other, i think they are so bad. both of them trump's campaign taking a more untraditional approach on the ground, trying to target irregular voters in areas that his campaign didn't foc

i just was a lowly figure at the state level co-chair of barak obama in 08. but tonight, this advanced team put on 1 $1,000,000 production bhatt backdrop, the flags, just everything about it was but the stagecraft of it was part of the story. i mean, she went back to where trump was. she on the eve of this election a week out, put together we're hearing from authorities 52,000 in the ellipse itself and there was overflow that's a huge it's crowd for this, that's, you know, 2008 size obama crowds that. i mean, that says something about what's happening with kamala harris. >> yeah. i mean, she's gonna get 90% of the vote in washington, d.c. so i would hope she could draw a crowd from her town that's going to give her the most important from a bunch of government bureaucrats. i would i would hope they would turn out for that look i was sort of taken aback by the absolute full-on attack on trump we've heard it all before. >> it sounded a little frantic to me, to be honest, this close to the end of the election, i took a few notes. again, there's still pushing the

that's where tim walz and barak obama are expected to speak at any moment. our priscilla, what more do we know about the campaign strategy from the harris team today? >> well, they're certainly trying to capitalize on early voting. early voting kicks off today and wisconsin and the location of this rally ali, is also notable. this is dane county. it is a county that president biden won by wider margins in 2020 compared to hillary clinton in 2016. it's also a county that obama did well in back when he ran in 2008. so obama and tim walz will be delivering a message that we have heard repeatedly from the vice president over the last several days, which is trying to underscore the stakes of this election, expect more of that for the next several days from this campaign as they try to hyper-focus on the risks and threats that they say. a second donald trump term poses. now, in addition to all of this is you just mentioned obama will be going michigan and get another swing state and also a state by the way, that vice president kamala harris was in a few days ago t

springsteen we will campaign, but kamala harris this week and hit the streets of philadelphia with barak obama next week. plus texas hold'em. the harris campaign is going all in and on their bet that abortion rights will bring people to the polls. we have brand new reporting on their plans, including a trip to a reliably red state, and the richest man in the world is using his time, influence. and of course, money to push donald trump's campaign. so what does elon musk want in return? i'm dana bash. let's go behind the headlines and inside politics than 330 hours left in this wild presidential race. and today, both campaigns are focusing on the latino you know, vote of force in battleground states like arizona, nevada, and pennsylvania kamala harris will sit down for an interview with telemundo in a few hours where she's expected to announce new economic opportunities for latino men. donald trump is speaking of what was described as a roundtable event with latino voters at his doral golf resort in florida. his focus has been on the familiar grievances and misleading attacks that you can see it

>> yeah, that's one of the reasons why we saw former president barak obama in pittsburgh as his firstp on the campaign trail heading into november. jessica, because there's no bigger indication that campaigns are heading into this last stretch, then seeing the big gun brock obama on the stage, really kind of admonishing ching black men telling them to get out and vote, telling them to move beyond their biases, but also encouraging people not just about what the stakes of the election, but to get out and early vote because to alex's point, they're going to be so many polls. but what the campaign is looking for right now is hard data where people early voting, where people not early voting, so that they can surge three resources. now of course, a campaign is growing anxious because they believed in some ways are really hoped that they would be able to pull away from donald trump a little bit more. but as we've seen in these last tranche of polls that hasn't happened. now i talked to one person close to the vice president who said that they weren't incredibly worried yet because they're

just ago when he gets out there next week, donald trump and barak obama are the two most dominant political figures at the last 12, 14 years in this country. and we were talking earlier that obama sort of likes to be the closer, but you have to understand this isn't just about two different worldviews. this is also personal for obama because his personal legacy is also intertwined with donald trump's legacy. and the fact is there's also a personal animus. i've talked to some of his aides is a personal animus here because donald trump was the chief birther agitator and it tried to argue that he was an illegitimate president. so there is a personal edge. hear me show you were an adviser to former president obama that coalition, the obama coalition, which stitch together voters of all different stripes, does that still exist? >> because for example, he won ohio in florida twice. and yet now those states are firmly read. >> i think that the coalition is still exists. it takes a candidate to bring those, that coalition back together. anything that we've, we've seen that we've seen it, tried and

for the campaign and something that there was focused on earlier this week with former president barak obamapennsylvania, because there is waning enthusiasm among this part of the electorate. so today, she will be going to a local restaurant where she'll be talking to local black elected officials as well as community leaders. she's also going to be delivering remarks at a church tomorrow. in greenville, north carolina, and also speaking with black farmers before she has her campaign rally there. so there's certainly an extension of that campaign outreach happening with the vice president's trip to north carolina. today and tomorrow. i will also note that while she is north carolina's, she will be helping some volunteers who are part of a hurricane relief effort, given that there are so many still on the ground, north carolina feeling the impact from hurricane helene. but again, alex getting back to the top on those medical records that dr. overwhelmingly saying in this letter that she has a clean bill of health again, only weeks from election day north carolina, a state that trump won in th

here in georgia tonight where the vice president is going to be joined by with former president barak obama. this will be the first time that they've been on the campaign trail together. and they are going to try and to energize and mobilize voters here in battleground georgia, where as you mentioned, early voting is already underway. now bruce springsteen will be headlining tonight. he of course, has made frequent appearances before in the waning days of the election for other democratic candidates but we're also learning about some other stars. we're going to be coming out over the next few days. that includes beyond, according to a source familiar with the planning, she will be joining the vice president tomorrow in houston, texas, where the vice president and her team, once you amplify and highlight reproductive freedoms, times this is not a battleground state, but they say it the epicenter of what they call the trump abortion bans. so that is what they're going to be focused on tomorrow now of course, beyond say, all but endorsed vice president harris when she allowed her to use her so

and i think when you hear barak obama's say that he really is just echoing what a lot of people in the party still believe, how, why, how come donald trump is actually receiving all the support? >> brad todd use your name has been invoked japan. >> he's been didn't take it in vain at least though it's a little early for too much confidence well, my friend you know, i think the thing that's missing in this in this conversation from the harris campaign here at the end, is they're asking the vote voters to have amnesia. and that's a big act. they asked him to voters forget what they know about the harris-biden administration for the last four years, 70% of the country thinks we're on the wrong track. they know we've had 10 million people come across the border illegally you can't ask the voters to forget all that. and what she's not doing is saying what she would do differently in right now think that's the thing that's looming over the election more than anything that happened during the trump years kate bedingfield. >> yeah well, i would say i don't know that she's asking people have am

this as former president barak obama is about to take part in his second battleground state event for kamala harris later today, also breaking the atlantic magazine is reporting that then-president donald trump privately told at least two people in the whitehouse that he needed. and i'm quoting him now, he needed the kind of generals that hitler have we'll discuss that and other bombshells in this new article. plus a federal judge orders rudy giuliani to give control of his luxury items and his manhattan apartment to two georgia election workers. he defamed, will have cover the nearly $150 million in damages giuliani owes them welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in the situation room >> it's a very, very busy night to the presidential campaign trail with only two weeks left until election day. we are standing by for a trump rally in the swing state of north carolina. and the kamala harris campaign rally in michigan led by former president obama and featuring the rapper eminem cnn's alayna treene is standing by covering all th

she says the energy and excitement here matches maybe even exceeds 2008 and barak obama and now with this election is the same thing you know, first female president, the first african american president, first president of asian descent hello, that can ban together. >> but outside of her ethnicity and her race is what it is that she stands for and how it is that we as working people, a middle-class people so can benefit from it number one for harris turnout, a big vote in the black communities in milwaukee. >> then you move out to the suburbs. this is walkinshaw. we bring this up waukesha county just to the west of milwaukee. you see donald trump won that with nearly 60% of the vote in 2020. but joe biden did better than hillary clinton did. those margins gins matter in the suburbs and our new poll, vice president harris is actually holding her own a little better than that in the suburbs right now. but we met today with the ceo of a startup coffee company out there, adrian, dz is his name. he was twice voted for obama, but this will be his third vote for trump. he says trump is bet

and that includes former president barak obama, who is one of the most popular figures in the democratic party. so next week he's going to be in pittsburgh. this will be his first public campaign appearance. since the democratic national convention. now, what this is going to look like over the next 20 plus days is rallies in battleground states recorded as, as well as lending his name to email solicitations for campaign cash aides, saying that this is a quote, all hands on deck moment. let me also read you a statement from obama in your advisor, eric schultes. he said, quote, now that voting has begun, our focus is on persuading and mobilizing voters, especially in states with key races, many of these races are likely to go down to the wire and nothing should be taken for granted. the former president not only helping here with the presidential race, but also with those down ballot races. and again, this is just one part of a big strategy by the harris campaign also talk to aides who told me what we saw yesterday in ripon, wisconsin. we're going to see more of that. the vice president g

so coming up after the break, former president barak obama stumping for kamala harris as her campaignks to their top democratic surrogate to try to persuade male voters in the final weeks. plus after the january 6 insurrection at the capitol, one group launching a new initiative today a, to try to prevent it from happening. again let's see what happens because it all does it matter because, you know, bad things happen. >> so very, very bad things happen less than that's going to be a lot harder for them to do bad things. so we're going to see political analysis good to see you have questions now biden said the right, all stay awake why did trump pulled out of a 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out network of i got news for you saturday at nine on hi, i'm steve balmer. >> i spent 34 years growing microsoft, ten years owning the la clippers basketball team. i loved computers, i love data, and i love that. that's why i started usa facts and why we're unveiling being a video series on the big issues that impact america. and no, don't worry, i'm not running for office. the more we know, the b
