[ inaudible question ] >> yeah, they'll appeal it. they'll appeal it. sure, they'll appeal it. [ inaudible question ] >> what about this other child that died on the border. >> if you look at the border and look at the fact that the democrats are really making it very, very dangerous for people by not approving simple, quick 15-minute legislation, we could have it all worked out, it would be great for people. great for live, great for safety and the border is a dangerous place and only made that way because the democrats will not approve any legislation. i mean they don't want to approve anything and it is making the border very dangerous. >> what are you doing to make sure these kids don't die. >> i'll tell you the border patrol people and all of law enforcement is working very hard. i mean, unfortunately, many of them have become do

have been added in pennsylvania in the trump presidency. in a speech saturday in philadelphia biden spoke on the need to outcompete china but donald trump criticized the former vp for being soft on china and previous comments which downplayed china's threat to the united states. >> he announced he is running for president, he said it is because foreign leaders called him up and begged him to do it. absolutely. foreign countries like that much better, they want biden so that china can continue to make $500 billion a year and more ripping off the united states. they like it. >> reporter: tonight trump continued to praise his trade war in china saying the tariffs will bring back jobs to places like pennsylvania and opened more factories, pennsylvania's republican senator and trump supporter pat toomey says the tariffs are hurting manufacturing and consumers in pennsylvania. the bottom line the last three rally donald trump has had have been in michigan and in pennsylvania these three states trump won by bus than 1%, they brought trump to the w

he's in pennsylvania.s why joe biden is in pennsylvania and not new hampshire or iowa. he's focused on the main prize. when it comes down to what joe biden was saying, he has a long record of demonizing republicans, in some of the worst ways possible. he's willing to play dirty, willing to say things that dee dee monthize the other side. one mistake he made in pennsylvania is saying barack obama's economy is what led to president trump's success. he's really going to tie himself back to the obama economy, he's going to have some real trouble when it comes to blue collar and aoupb con workers. he's relying on union workers who have been devastated by the union power. they have far less power than they used to. joe biden used to rely on that more. now unions have far less influence when it comes to politics as a result of people having a twist when it comes to having a choice to be in them or not. >> digging in among bag lash to his own party on his call to impeach president trump. here is nancy pelosi, repo

really crucial that he's here today in pennsylvania. the president won by less than 1% and was the first republican candidate to do that since 1988. tonight, the president is speaking here with the backdrop of an ongoing trade war with china. expect him to defend tariffs, tariffs which republican pe pennsylvania senator and trump supporter pat toomey says are crippling manufacturing and farming jobs but also hurting consumers. republicans in this state are a big concern. take a look at this poll. the latest quinnipiac poll shows the democratic frontrunner and former vice president joe biden has an 11-point lead over president trump, 53-42%. he is the only democratic contender with a double digit lead over president trump in the keystone state. tonight's rally is being held in former vice president joe biden's backyard. the rally is in montoursville, a solidly republican area 65 miles west of scranton, pennsylvania, where joe biden was born. his hometown. if the president's twitter is any indication, as it often is, we should be hearing

philadelphia, pennsylvania.ighlighting how important pennsylvania will be in 2020, so is the state a must win if democrats want to take back the white house? the short answer is "yes." the longer answer from harry enton. >> keep going -- >> let me be clear, this is not mime. you've got to stay stuff. >> i've got to stay stuff on television. granted, so many people are watching us in airports, they can't actually hear what i'm saying. let's take a look back from 2012 to 2016 on the presidential level. what we see is most of the states voted the same, except right in this region right here. the midwest, pennsylvania, sort of the midwest, and that's going to be the focus, because that is stereotypical of what happened between 2012 and 2016 that allowed donald trump to take back the white house. >> wait a second, orange means that it went blue, you're saying? >> so this -- orange means we went from obama to trump. these are the states that flipped right here in the midwest. and pennsylvania is stereotypical of that.

the gentlewoman from pennsylvania virginia tech. ms. scanlon: -- from pennsylvania is recognized. miss scan -- ms. scanlon: i yield two minutes to the gentlewoman from massachusetts, miss tran. miss tran: i rise to offer my strong support for the rule and h.r. 5, the equality act. recent years have brought extraordinary progress in the fight for full equality for our lgbtq community. like millions of others across the country, i joined with friends and family to celebrate supreme court rulings paving the way for same-sex couples to marry. in the midst of these joyful and historic victories, we knew that the work was just beginning. though lgbtq people could now get married, in a majority of states they could still be fired for having a picture of their spouse on their desk or kicked out of their home just for being who they are. the fact is, lgbtq people are still at risk of secretary of transportation across -- still at risk of discrimination across key areas of our country. recent surveys show that 4 % of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people and 78% of transgender people have exper

polls have you -- pennsylvania? >> i think we're doing very well in pennsylvania.e won it last time. the polls had us losing pennsylvania last time and we won and i expect we'll win it this time because the coal industry, the steel industry, the car industry, they're all doing incredibly well. pennsylvania now has the best employment they have ever had. the best employment record. more people working in pennsylvania now than ever before. like in our country. so i think we'll do very well in pennsylvania. reporter: [inaudible]. >> yeah. they will appeal it. they will appeal it. sure, they will appeal. reporter: what about another child died on the border? >> well i know this, that if you look at the border and if you look at the fact that the democrats are really making it very, very dangerous for people not approving, simple, 15 minute legislation, we could have it all worked out, it would be great for people, great for lives, great for safety, and the border is a dangerous place. it is only made that way because the democrats will not approve any legislation. i me

just 65 miles west of scranton, pennsylvania, .nton is the hometown of former vice president joe biden. tonight, trump had a message for the blue-collar working class voters that he is still there guy. it was a message that was heard loud and clear in his own backyard. some waiting sends early this morning to hear that president. he said he was here to hear fred keller, running in a special election. tomorrow. president rouhani, he attacked joe biden tonight. in the latest quinnipiac poll is actually ahead of him by all 11 points in this pivotal battleground state. >> this guy talks about i know scranton. i know the place better. he didn't take care of your jobs. he let other countries come in and rip off america. >> trump emphasize to voters tonight that he has kept his promises about rebuilding the economy. pennsylvania's unemployment rate is at 3.8%. a record low not seen in the state since 1976. more than 150,000 jobs have been added in pennsylvania in the trump presidency. there was a speech. it biden spoke on a need to outcom

if you want to win, you have to win here in pennsylvania. >> the state of pennsylvania is going to win so big. >> pennsylvania in the trump column, the apparent winner and that makes the trump the president-elect. >> the crucial swing state of pennsylvania, republican red for the first time in years. >> i'm here in pennsylvania and the reason we are visiting these states is pretty simple. donald trump won them 2.5 years ago. we are not going to let him win them in 2020. >> pennsylvania has the highest student loan debt in the country. >> for i am going to beat donald trump in 2020, it's going to happen here in northeast pennsylvania. >> we're love wilkes bury. we love this area. we love the state of pennsylvania and we are bringing it back. >>> tonight i'm live on the floor of the company in lu zern county that voted democratic for decades including twice for barack obama. this county went big for donald trump. where do things stand right now tonight? for the next hour, we will hear from the voters, both democrats and republicans. union and small business owners and teachers and nurses

the battle for pennsylvania is on.the keystone state and taking special aim at joe biden. so is the former v.p. trump's biggest threat? donna brazile has thoughts on that and she will join us straight ahead. >> when you have the best unemployment numbers in history, when you have the best economy probably that we've ever had, i don't know how the hell do you lose this election, right? address my fellow veterans, because i know there are so many of you who have served our country honorably. whether it's two years, four years or thirty-two years like myself. one of the benefits we as a country give our veterans is eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. so if you need money for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. i/p úmug< the doctor's office might mejust for a shot.o but why go back there when you can stay home with neulasta® onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta® reduced the risk of

, pennsylvania, pennsylvania. >> it really is. >> that's the state to watch. >> we'll start there with joe biden, who will be spending a lot of time in pennsylvania this year. the "philadelphia inquirer einq reports he has chosen philadelphia for his campaign headquarters. though a new poll shows he would most likely lose the keystone state if the election were held today, a quinnipiac university poll of pennsylvania voters found joe biden defeating trump by 11 points, 53-42. while bernie sanders beats the president by 7 points, 50% to 43% and trump is in virtual dead heats with elizabeth warren, pete buttigieg, kamala harris and beto o'rourke. >> mike barnicle, as james carville famously said, pennsylvania is philadelphia, pittsburgh with alabama in the middle. >> right. >> which actually could be a good way to explain a large chunk of wisconsin, minnesota and michigan as well now. but it does look clear at least from this poll, i know it's early, but no candidate in any political race wants to be down by 11 points when everybody -- 100% of the people know who you are. that said, this

it was a hot night in pennsylvania.u were watching you heard the president a couple of times say hey, we need a doctor because five people actually passed out. they had been waiting a long time. it was 80 degrees. he blamed out lights. ainsley: he said these lights are so bright. someone turn them off. brian: other day complaining about the stage. who set the stage up? ainsley: i almost slipped and fell. don't pate bill. he said whoever set this up don't pate bill. i almost slipped on the stage. steve: today out in that area of pennsylvania they are having a special election to fill a vacant congressional seat. the president officially was there to campaign for state representative fred keller. but, really, come on it's about pennsylvania and the president because the president needs pennsylvania in 2020. ainsley: that is joe biden territory he claims it's his territory because he was born in scranton but then he moved away. steve: at age 10. the president talked about that. listen. >> biden deserted you. he is not from

i love being here in pennsylvania.r our special night of "hardball" in missouri county. what a night. >>> good evening. i'm donny deutsche, and i am thrilled to be here. there are exactly 535 days until the 2020 election, and tonight and every week we're going to break down the top stories of the week and how they're shaping the election. and tonight roe v. wade v. trump. plus my advice to senator cory booker for his run for the white house. and the milwaukee bucks fight for their nba title. here to talk trump, taxes and unfortunate new divided politics in sports. lots to cover, and this is "saturday night politics."

biden kicked off his campaign in pennsylvania saturday and has his headquarters in pennsylvania.red by eleven points. why. that is the question. >> let's go live to washington and bring in cnn political reporter, dan merica. it's fascinating, this discussion of oversight and impeachment proceedings, but so many of these democratic hopefuls, they tell us when they're in town halls, that's not what people are asking them about. >> they're right. there's a divide inside the democratic party on capitol hill and also a divide on the campaign trail. you have seen some candidates after the mueller report's release, you have seen candidates say they support starting impeachment hearings and you have seen probably more saying they are not there at this point yet but it's really important to remember what voters are asking these candidates. that's kind of how i decide whether voters really deeply care about these issues and what you see when a voter stands up at a town hall and has the ability to ask a question of one of these candidates. they're asking about health care. they're asking ab

pennsylvania, pennsylvania.'m thrilled to be back in this state that gave us american independence. you know that. american steel, which we now have coming back. by the way, like never before. and generations of american patriots. >> out front now a member of president trump's 2020 re-elected advisory council and maria cordona democratic strategist and former dnc communications director. maria, look, it's internal poll [it's not internal polling. quinpiac shows joe biden beating in pennsylvania 53-42. but it is really early. you do not want to look this good this early because problems can happen. can biden keep it up? >> well, i think what biden needs to continue to do is make the argument that what trump promised in 2016 not just to all these midwest voters but to america as a whole and to those who have actually been lagging behind economically, that he has actually betrayed them. and look, very specifically in these midwestern states it shows he has been struggling since the election, since he won them, righ

he's not from pennsylvania. i guess he was born here but he left you, folks. this guy talks about i know scranton. i know the places better. he left you for another state, and he didn't take care of you. >> cnn has learned the trump campaign conducted a poll of key battle ground states and it confirmed cracks in the president's rust belt support especially in michigan and pennsylvania. biden kicked off his campaign in pennsylvania saturday. that should tell you how critical the state is to both campaigns. >>> beto o'rourke hoping for a campaign relaunch. the former texas congressman raised over $6 million in day one but it's been downhill ever since with the contributions and the poll numbers slipping. o'rourke admits making mistakes like coming off as privileged in a vanity fair cover story. he's trying to shift the focus to policy with an emphasis on his $5 trillion climate change plan which includes infrastructure and innovation projects. >> this urgency, this energy that we all have and we all feel here toni

pennsylvania has the greatest economy ever.nemployment is lower than it has ever been in pennsylvania. state revenues -- melissa: let me stop you right there, for that reason alone you would think anyone who answered the phone or answered one of the polls would want to stick with the horse they got right now because the economy is so much better. why are they not saying that? >> i don't know who they polled but the same thing we saw in 2016. you couldn't find a poll in pennsylvania with donald trump winning. he was down by seven, 11, 12 points. one poll had him down 16 points two weeks out. i don't know what it is with polling and pollsters. i know what i feel when i drive around pennsylvania. melissa: also, it didn't transfer to those other candidates that are republicans that were in the state in pennsylvania since 2016. i'm looking at a list. lou barletta lost a senate candidate. scott wagner lost the governorship by 17%. jeff bardos lost lieutenant governor by 17%. why do you think these guys were not able to win on the rep

what is the biden pitch then to pennsylvania voters?biden's pitch is he wants to revitalize the middle class. his pitch is that he can speak to the trump base, the working class blue collar voters that ended up voting for trump in 2016 in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. on saturday during that speech here in philadelphia, biden took credit for the current state of the economy. >> i know president trump likes to take credit for the economy and economic growth and the low unemployment numbers. but guess what are the facts? not the alternative facts. president trump inherited an economy from obama-biden administration that was given to him. just like he inherited everything else in his life. >> vice president joe biden said he's not going to speak ill about the other democratic contenders. that's not the same when it comes to trump. very comfortable speaking about the president, ed. >> ed: bryan llenas live in pennsylvania. let's go to another battleground and check in on the other 2020 democratic candidates. peter doocy is live on t

because pennsylvania the people that live in pennsylvania could very well decide who the next president is going to be. in 2016 donald trump just narrowly beat hillary clinton in the state of pennsylvania by less than one percent and those 20 electoral votes for pennsylvania really are what put donald trump over the top to be the president biden is from pennsylvania he's very well liked there and the latest polls show that he is leading trump in the state of pennsylvania by more than 10 points which is huge and so this state is going to be one of a small handful of states that are really going to be key biden thinks that he has a clear shot to win pennsylvania and take himself to the presidency but he's 1st got to get past these other 22 democratic challengers who all have a different idea they all think they can be president so we'll have a long way to go here in the coming weeks and months for the democrats finally nominate who they want to be their candidate absolutely but let's look at the chance of getting that nomination he asked how to write the book he starts the campaign even b

the pennsylvania maternal mortality review committee. the language of this act was modeled off of important work that was passed in chairman neal's home state of massachusetts where their mmrc has been in place for over 20 years. pennsylvania is now equipped with an mmrc that will produce a report within three years of its first meeting, which was last october. examples of ways to implement changes and recommendations of maternal mortality review committees are through organizations known as perinatal quality collaborative policies, collaboratives, or p.q.c.'s. in states like north carolina and massachusetts, a collaborative is a network of teams that works to improve the access and quality of care for both mothers and babies across prenatal, labor and birth, newborn, and postpartum services. these teams can identify processes that can be improved. and quickly adopt best practices to achieve their collective aims. in closing, ways that we can move forward and address maternal mortality. currently, the preventing maternal death act is pro

let's talk about pennsylvania.ident trump has created thousands of manufacturing jobs and in contrast if we look at the obama/biden years, that's a state that bled so many manufacturing jobs. that's something joe biden will have to be held to account, blue collar americans are benefiting under the trump economy. it will be interesting to see what biden is going to present differently to some of these states like pennsylvania. >> another factor that could reshape the 2020 race, new restrictions and bans on abortion. a growing number of states, alabama signing the strict esteban yet this past week with no exceptions for rape or incest but president trump broke from alabama saying he's in favor of those exceptions and called on republicans to be united on this. do you think it's too late now that alabama's ban has been signed into law? >> i don't think it's too late because many other states are watching this issue. four other states have passed similar heart beat laws. and are moving forward with that. i agree with p

pennsylvania is that kind of state. it is one of the original keystone states, and it is very important that it brings people together. understand this is where the constitution and the birth of the american democracy is. it couldn't be a more appropriate place that the vice president would be doing the event at this location. had a fantastic, enthusiastic crowd. people are ready for a change. he's right, the only thing that stands in the way of that change is the current occupancy of the white house. >> when you say change, it is interesting, because this is a man who has been in washington. spent so many decades in washington, even though he isn't serving currently. how is he presenting himself as the candidate of change? >> well, he's presenting that he understands what it takes for that change. he knows first and foremost, you have to bring people together. he stressed that throughout his discussion. the importance of bringing people together, and he made it very clear, he is going to unite people. that's the messag

my family did have to leave pennsylvania when i was 10.aware where my dad found a job to provide for our family. trump doesn't understand the working folks and what they go through. what it's like to worry he will lose the roof over your head. pennsylvania is one of the states that president trump and his democratic challengers will be fighting over. you can bet that. the path to victory runs through the states of wisconsin, ohio, michigan and pennsylvania. ohio voted for barack obama twice before and switched to trump. despite continued economic challenges and recent layoffs, president trump appears to have lost little of his blue collar support. one former democrat who votes republican told the "new york times" what i want from a president is for the rest of the world to say don't mess with that guy. i don't want some kinder or gentler or a female who wants her agenda. whoa. one democrat knows how to win the voters. sherrod brown from ohio. sherrod. maria ramirez! mom! maria! maria ramirez... mcdonald's is committing 150 million dollars
