i'm sorry, not nebraska. maine and nebraska, the two of them. sorry. both of them, do it a different way. and in a way you can say that's more proportional or more representative of the popular vote. so explain how they do it. and what is it that nebraska is thinking of changing and why they want to change? >> sure, yes. it is more proportional to the popular vote. and that's why both of these states, adopt it, maine in the 1960s, i think. and nebraska, in the early 1990s, although, you know, again, going back into our distant history, a number of states at different times have used, district systems in both maine and nebraska. they use, congressional districts, as, as the, as the core basis for, for allocating these district votes. the systems are a little bit different in, in nebraska, which is capturing attention at the moment. the area around omaha, which has tended to lean democratic, has gets one district and one electoral vote. >> okay. so the reason they want to change this is if they became winner take all like california, then that one vote w

here to talk to us about changing that in nebraska is a reporter and producer with nebraska public media news. what's the status of the legislation that was proposed, and what is it? >> the legislation that was proposed would refers to the winner take all system that is used in 48 other states. the status of it is, it's nowhere. there is one day left in the session, they have big decisions left on taxes and schools, so, it's not even out of the committee. the chances that anything will happen with it this year, this session are virtually nil. >> who are the forces behind the efforts to change nebraska system? >> it's a perpetual proposal by republicans in the officially nonpartisan legislator. ever since the system was adopted in federally, the 1990's, it has come out multiple times to attempts to repeal it. this year it seems to have gotten that she was languishing in committee, but it seems to have gotten a boost by conservative activists charlie couric, making a deal of it, and donald trump endorsing the proposal to change it back to winner take all, but all that happen so late in the

a look at the failed efforts on how nebraska's electoral votes are counted, also. first, a look at the latest poll numbers and ads from the gop and democratic presumptive nominee. the latest from the economist as president biden and former president trump provide nationally. a poll released earlier in the week had president biden up 1% over former president trump. still, a statistical slide. better news for kennedy with 11% support area the most recent national poll released this week from emerson college shows former president trump with a slightly higher edge, up 44% to president biden's 40% with kennedy at 8%. next, two of the latest ads from the biden and trump camps, which focus on campaign stops they made earlier in the week in and pennsylvania. then some highlights from candidate interactions with voters. scranton is a set of values. we pride ourselves on the importance of family. honesty and hard work. >> this was the beginning. president biden is my first cousin and there is pride in scranton. >> hard-working people. a lot of times, it goes way back before

but if nebraska makes this change, the election could end up in a tie.ht be wondering what happens in that case? well, it's simple, really: have you seen "the purge" movies? it's like that. nebraska should really keep this system, though, because it's certainly a more fair way to divide up electoral votes than "winner take all." in fact, what if every state split up their votes like nebraska by district, or maybe even by person! then, whoever wins the most persons would be the president! [cheers and applause] that would be pretty popular. oh, we could call it the "popular vote," i don't know, i'm just spit-balling. but let's move on to some exciting science news. next monday, a solar eclipse will totally block out the sun over parts of america. and we're all looking forward to having one brief moment when you can look up into the sky and see something besides the door of a boeing airplane plummeting toward the ground. but it's not just a moment for humans. an eclipse offers a once in a lifetime opportunity for rudy guiliani to come out and feed during th

this week, lawmakers in nebraska be back a trump endorsed effort to change the way nebraska allocatests electoral college votes, from a proportional system to a winner takes all. after an overwhelming vote against the plan on wednesday, the bill's sponsors said yesterday, there was no time left in the regular legislative session to reconsider the proposal. joining me now is nebraska democratic party chair, jane fleming. thank you for being with us today. jane, for our viewers who may not know, nebraska is 1 of 2 states to award the elect harel -- electoral college votes based on electoral district, which in 2020, meant that even though trump won the state popular vote, biden was awarded one electoral delegate. this push came from the trump campaign in an attempt to prevent president joe biden from winning one of the states of five electoral votes again. can you explain why some republicans in your state want to change this? or, whether there is any chance they could still alter the rule before the next election? >> yeah, well, right now, rev, if you cue the hamilton music of i don't w

jeff zeleny is out front >> omaha is a blue a sea of nebraska red. and that is precisely why former president donald trump and his allies are furiously trying to change state election law. >> we are going to keep on pushing and keep on pushing and keep on pushing until nebraska gets winner-take-all >> tonight, time is running short on a pressure campaigns seeking to block president joe biden from winning one of nebraska is five electoral votes as he did in 2020. that one it could possibly be the deciding factor whose president united states, precious mckesson was chosen to cast nebraska is low. it will college vote for biden four years ago. now, she's fighting to protect the states unique system of dividing its electoral votes. >> we've made able to give that historical vote twice. and so now i feel that they need held at that vote is very, very critical and for some reason, they want to switch the laws all of a sudden, many nebraska republican say changing the process one shared only by mane is long overdue, given that 48 states award all of their e

governor jim pylint of nebraska. i wonder if he really knew who he was before this, but you know, hey, a very smart and popular governor has done some really great things came out today with a very strong letter in support of returning nebraska as electoral vote to a winner-take-all system. moos. nebraskan have wanted to go back to this system for a very long time because it's what 48 other states do. it's what the founders intended. >> and it's right, >> for nebraska, this is making david trump's argument for him >> that's, that's typical trump. but what i will say is it's, it's why you see a very different presidential election, this, campaign, this time around compared to 2016, or whatever we may say about some of trump's more at land is outlandish remarks on the campaign stump or things he post on truth, social. there are very dedicated, very serious, very talented individuals actually running that campaign. chris lacivita, susie wiles, these are talented individuals and if you look at trump's campaign during the

plus the electoral battle in nebraska, donald trump is demanding the state change. how would awards its electoral votes? >> nothing is going on, there's not a whole lot we know, but we do what us officials at the white house, were saying about his president's feelings going into this exchange. >> that's right, dana, the two liters or on the phone as we speak right now, that call happening and getting put together in recent days following the attack on the convoy for humanitarian assistance into gaza. and finally, the situation in rafah, a senior administration official telling me that it is still unclear to the us exactly what israel's intentions are with regard to a major military operation. there despite the fact that the two sides held along virtual meeting this week to try to discuss some alternatives there, dana. >> okay. i'm sure we'll be speaking to you as soon as we hear that this phone call is over. thank you so much for that reporting and some of president biden's fellow democrats are demanding that he do more than expressed outrage. they want him cnn anal

a tornado tearing across a highway in lincoln, nebraska.nd just as terrifying as seeing it, hearing it. tornados tore through parts of iowa and nebraska leaving massive damage in their wake. this is the view from above. much of the neighborhood in omaha totally leveled. and from the ground you can see just how powerful they were. only foundations stand where entire houses were just hours ago. all in all, as many as 80 possible tornados touched down on friday. and the next wave has already begun. this is a twister on the ground in oklahoma late today as forecasters fear there may be even more tonight. we are covering it all tonight, and we begin with jesse kirsch in hard hit iowa. >> reporter: violent twisters shooting debris into the sky. >> violent tornado, guys. violent! >> reporter: in all, dozens of tornado reports across multiple states since friday. and tonight one area after another has been reduced to rubble. >> i i don't know where we go from here. >> reporter: in iowa the city of mindon was gutted. >> the house is gone, the founda

currently nebraska splits its five electoral votes. two go to the overall vote winner of the state with the remaining three going to the winner of each congressional district. in 2020 you'll recall donald trump received four of the five electoral votes. we had some reporting here the biden campaign was reaching out to nebraska democrats certainly concerned about this because in 2020 biden won one electoral college vote, and his easiest path to the white house this time would be if he wins pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan and that one nebraska vote. that would give him 270 and he could afford to lose all the other swing states. if the nebraska vote was taken away, they would need to win somewhere else to. the republicans say they may try other efforts to change the law here, but it would be an extremely uphill climb. at least for now it appears the situation in nebraska will not change, but we'll keep an eye on it. it is an important, important story. >>> still ahead here, the manhattan district attorney's office hits back at donal

on state republicans here, including the governor of nebraska, jim pill. and now he is promising to call a special session of the legislature. so democrats are vowing to fight this as well. we caught up with the executive director of the nebraska democratic party, who actually cast the electoral vote in 2020 for joe biden here. she said democrats are pushing back would they just didn't understand was is that we're we're small but mighty and there's people here that are ready to take up that fight. and we're going to do that and so i feel the past they maybe didn't see how valuable it is but i always tell people, i tell people all the time if people didn't know how valuable vote is they wouldn't be doing so many laws to try to restrict our vote >> and perhaps that is the irony here, dana of it, there's been a lot of talk about election laws over the past four years, while republicans now we're trying to change state election law for something they believe does not benefit them. there's also another subtext of the electoral college here. sure. many democrats

tornado warnings are still posted for nebraska and other states. lawrence karnow standing by and you'd like to use that word, lawrence. tornadic activity. yeah. and they've had it all across nebraska today and that. >> that's where it almost looked on real most movie, like as it was picture perfect. a conical tornado almost sitting vertically stacked. that means that was its maximum strength that you saw there. but numerous storms popping up across the state. you can see the circulation around that area of low pressure and some strong storms firing up all those areas in red. those reports of a funnel clouds and tornadoes all across parts of nebraska stretching eastward, watching out now they still got advisories for the possibility of more tornadic activity through the night tonight. all right. let's to get away forecast for you here in the bay area. we're looking at some changing weather. some winds blowing the high country opstill dealing with some snow there. if you're headed in that direction, you know, we've had some travel delays at sfo, but

so the nebraska state legislature, it's super majority republicans. this has a very real chance of passing. i'm someone who thinks that proportionate allocation of electoral votes is a much better system. why should the swing states? get all the political ads and the fund? i mean, it would be great matter where you live in a deeply, rather deeply blue state. >> yeah. i mean, we all know that there are about six pivotal swing states. you listed them just now that are going to decide this thing so in that context, another person who has been talking about a broken two-party system, rfk junior >> yeah. >> and you know, you speak now from the forward party as you've been in, but the dnc has launched a new mobile billboard ad. i'll show it. >> i'm trying to tie >> trump to kennedy, so they've >> been putting up outside is his rallies rfk maga, and they're putting these things up let me play part of the ad. they just put up down so this is, what it comes to write. i mean, it's just this is the where we are brand new gallup poll those shows 30% of adults don

and moved all the way up just to the west it's the omaha, nebraska. now i've driven that omaha i at corridor because i went to school in lincoln and i know how long that is. that was a 50 mile track of a tornado that was on the ground and it was a violent tornado. all along, tornado watches are still posted more tornadoes will happen tonight. now the tornadoes that were in nebraska have moved into iowa so you need to watch this also, more storms into kansas, even tornado warnings still going on here in the southeastern portion of kansas. and we have wind damage likely also large hail likely into parts of texas, a violent de and a violet night. and you need to pay attention and know where you're gonna go. no, you're safe spot and listened your noaa weather radio or even your iphone. it will alert you if can turn that on or chaired virus. thank you very, very much. chad myers reporting before i let you go one quick follow-up. the severe weather threat. where is it heading next? in addition to the places you mentioned, how worried should folks in the hea

been i want to correct you, nebraska, not nevada.til far right activists started an aggressive pressure campaign against the government. is this just another example of who really is in charge of the gop right now? donald trump sends out the hounds and they go for whoever is in charge. >> it's not only a question of who is in charge of the gop right now, that's controlled by the extremist parts of that party. it's also about how republicans are so ready to change the system how a president is select stood months before an election, they are trying to interfere with the election and a preemptive way. that is something that's clearly out of trump's playbook. he's already making these claims about the integrity of the election, but, it's him and republicans who are trying to change those rules. that's something that should good everyone alarm and concern. i'm so grateful to hear the latest reporting out of nebraska but it was rejected in the latest votes, and i also appreciated hearing that the author of the bills that they don't have t

'cause the writers and i are trying to cook up a real crackerjack joke. and if you know anything about nebraska, we could probably write the joke to play off of that. you know, for your monologue. >> stephen: brian, i am doing a monologue right now. >> perfect-o. we'll put our noodles together, get ya something great. big laughs, major joke. write-up in huffpo for sure. i'll be back in one hour! >> stephen: brian stack, everybody. thanks, brian. very kind. he tries. oldest man in world news, yesterday, the oldest man in the world died just weeks before 115th birthd

someone just told me this is nebraska nice. it's really the effort from the community here that recognizes the need and those families who are now left with barely anything. they're now digging through the rubble of their homes to try to find what is salvageable. many of them, again, displaced at this point. thankfully we've got the american red cross and the salvation army to offer additional resources for families that don't have anywhere to sleep at night. offering a helping hand, but truly, a nightmare situation and a terrifying night for at least one family who lives in this home who tell me they piled into the truck as they watched the tornado touch down just miles away and come barreling towards them and getting into their truck and driving away as fast as they could. other families in this neighborhood, telling me they hid in the basement and shielded each other as debris flew all around them and you can see, it's hard to make out now because we've got so many trucks here, but in the distance, you'll notice home after h

it actually makes a lot more sense to do it the way nebraska does.tion ought to be why is it only nebraska and maine do this because you give the state a certain number of electoral votes and you give each congressional district or electoral votes. it's more representative of people, you know, we forget in california, for instance, donald trump, the second largest state as far as total vote count, but he didn't get a single vote. i don't think this is going to pass, but it's just indicative of the republican -- i have to say it's not just a trump effort, to curate the vote, to try to make this something other than reflecting the majority of the will of the people. i think that's incredibly troubling. i think we have presidents who lose the popular vote and win the electoral college, i think it's troubling, and i think it's something that is difficult to sustain in the long-term. >> we saw obviously with hillary clinton as well win the popular vote, lose the electoral college. we have new fundraiser numbers to report. fill us in. >> for the trump camp

so obviously the difference there is one and that one vote would be the vote in nebraska. the vote no maha that gives biden to 70 and the win. but if this scenario plays out with trump getting his way in nebraska then both of them are tied 2609 to 2609 and then it will be the house of representatives who makes the decision >> for now, andrew yang, former 2020 >> democratic presidential candidate. now the co-founder of the forward party and independent 2024 candidate, rfk junior also considered you to be his running mate as well as we've reported so look, every vote matters. >> the polls >> whatever take them on any given day. but i just laid out a very realistic scenario. what we're in right now, if you look at the polls by does not gonna went all the swing states. so that's scenario that we laid out is that could be it on election night how worried are you about a potential change in the nebraska rules? >> i think this is very savvy on the part of the trump campaign is a very legitimate, feasible scenario that you end up with 2609 to 2609. and then this one electoral vote

after that bill failed wednesday, former president donald trump and his allies are demanding nebraska change its electoral college system to a winner takes all approach. it's one of only two states that assigns votes based on proportional representation. this hence, at trump campaign, realizing just how close this presidential election could be seen as daniel strauss joins us now, there are what two weeks left in the legislative session is there a chance that this goes forward? this could just could be a game changer like they know, because things are really, really tight at this it's point in time >> there's a chance, yes. era, but also there a great deal of hurdles and some of those are just very technical legislative measures. the fact that this push by trump and his allies to move a bill and to change how the process works for a electoral vote well, it's, is being met right now with legislative hurdles like which bill to attach it to, and how much time there is left in nebraska legislatures session to consider a new proposal of this statute. now, it's important to keep in mind her

trump got for how big of a deal would it be to make nebraska winner-take-all? >> it would only be a big deal if it comes down to one electoral vote. right? so this is sort of a big deal also not, but if you get into political nerd talk, this is super interesting. it's super exciting. also have a similar dynamic in in main. so this is the red dot are sorry, this is the blue.in nebraska in main, we have the red dot, which is sort of like the seinfeld sweater. but ultimately, look, if it comes down welcome to this one electoral vote, then both campaigns have a bigger issue here that they've got to worry about. bigger trouble then who wins this one? >> it's not entirely impossible. no, hear me nerd out on this, right? because there is this possibility of a 2609 to 2609 if nebraska were to go winner-take-all and biden kept is 2020 map minus arizona, georgia, nevada, which of course were big wins for him in 2020 i mean, can you even imagine something like that happening? >> i mean, yes, but that's the stuff of nightmares. what i will say is so we call it the blue dot
