pennsylvania make no mistake is a make-or-break if you don't win, pennsylvania, kamala harris is done so i think that at this point it is. we're going to funnel a lot into ads. that means digital ads, that means being on the ground floor. that means reaching out to churches and various different community groups. there's a lot of coalition building that has to happen in pennsylvania and it has to happen fast. >> all right. everybody stand by as we await vice president kamala harris is remarks in pennsylvania will have some live coverage. stay right here and up the next day. high profile democratic senator cory booker joins us in the situation room to break down his party's chances of holding on to them got news for you? a pretty okay. yeah. >> but what are the kinds we could run on the news before then? >> i would never happen if i got news for you from airs tomorrow at nine on cnn and streaming next day on max i mean, but the gains are pumping. the markets closed. >> features don't sleep in the after hours bro is mostly finance bro she switched gears to make money for your weddings a

is he also in pennsylvania. is he in washington, pennsylvania. is he talking to the people and i think, lawrence, right? so folks in the diner want to ask the president questions? >> lawrence: that's exactly right, ainsley. let's bring it out to the people. mr. president, not a lot from the moderators about the issues last night. in this swing state of pennsylvania these issues are true. sir you own a car dealership, part owner of it -- you say this is your birthday by the way. >> yes. >> lawrence: what is your question for the president? >> good morning, president trump. >> good morning. >> my question is what are some of the immediate steps you will take to improve the economy and get us out of this mess that biden and harris have left us in? >> right. great question. the first thing i would do is close up the up about border. people have to come into our country legally. they can't come in the way they are doing now. we have millions and millions of people come in. even on a monthly basis. and they are destroying our country and it effects our

pennsylvania got 67 counties. most people don't know that our state is not just philadelphia, where i live, and pittsburgh. it's so much more than that. 48 of our counties are in rural pennsylvania and there are lots of generations of hard-working families. we just heard from the nurse the talked about the coal mining family. we know so many others that are still farming in this day and age. and we understand that no one should be forgotten, no one's vote should be taken for granted. oh, you're just going to vote this way or that way. i am so proud here tonight in west philly to know that kamala harris is in these areas. she's on the ground. she's not sending surrogates. she is there. just a couple of days governor walz was in lancaster in different parts of the county that are also rural ella sitting down, meeting with volunteers. we are working very hard so that come november we can win. >> one of the things we were talking to jim greenwood about is in the last election there were a lot of republicans who came o

pennsylvania is inflation. the number two issue is why did kamala harris open the southern border in the cartels bring in poison killing our families? it's ridiculous. she said they one she wanted to open up the border. she said they one she wanted to end deportation and end of the donald trump are made in mexico policy. donald trump has a different method for illegal immigrants. pack your bags, because, in six months, you are going home. and, when we do that, you will have fewer people dying of drug overdoses. you will have fewer people suffering because drug cartels are operating freely in their communities. you just have to do that. you have to close the border. it is good for public safety and a host of other things too. anymore local? yes, sir, i would love to go fishing. you have to bring about 40 secret service agents now though is the problem. >> kate maher, cnn. >> [crowd booing] reporter: thank you, senator for taking my question. i want to expand more on your phone call with governor brian kemp. how

there's no question pennsylvania is key and western pennsylvania is going to play very important role it wasn't that many years ago when western pennsylvania, particularly the counties that surround allegheny county, greater pittsburgh, voted democratic for president. when al gore ran into thousand zero, six of the ten counties voted democratic. in recent elections, it's down to one county, one county, allegheny, the pittsburgh county. the only county voting democratic. the votes are absolutely essential in winning those votes requires them to spend time here. we just saw that the vice president spent the weekend here in debate preparation. that made perfect sense because it connected her to this region. but she's going to have to come back and go to the outlying counties, not to the city. hillary clinton made that mistake in 2016. she only went to pittsburgh. and she locked the state of pennsylvania. 6 million votes cast but she lost by 40,000 votes. that's all. she could have gotten those 40,000 votes had she campaigned in the outlying counties of pennsylvania. i will just add that

the workers of pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvania. it's a very consequential vote in pennsylvania because they say, if you win pennsylvania, you will win the whole thing. we cannot let these people win pennsylvania. >> pennsylvania is almost as crucial for harris as well. if she wins there, she leads the polls but in the margin of error. all the states will be close. if she wins there she's in good shape. she can win and longshot scenarios without pennsylvania. she could hold georgia and flip north carolina which democrats have won in quite some time. for both campaigns, the keystone state looks like a true keystone to victory. that's borne out in the campaign this week. harris and president biden rallied in pittsburgh on labor day. the campaign sing harris will return there on thursday. a running mate tim walz is beginning his own trip to multiple parts of the state of pennsylvania included lancaster on wednesday. even doug emhoff is expected to campaign in allentown, pennsylvania. trump is expected in harrisburg tomorrow to fill my

pennsylvania. thanks for coming on, , ., p, p, , pennsylvania. us for the next hour of - on. good to be here. stay with us for the next hour of our - us for the next hour of our coverage, got a great panel with us on all sides who will tell us what's at stake. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories in the headlines. the former leader of the democratic unionist party, sirjeffrey donaldson, will go on trial in march next year after pleading not guilty to charges of historical sexual offences. the 61—year—old is accused of 18 offences, including rape, gross indecency, and indecent assault. all charges allegedly occurred between 1985 and 2008. his wife, lady donaldson, also denied related to aiding and abetting. a public inquiry has heard that this tenacious lobbying of senior consultants may have prevented lucy letby from attacking more babies. the hearings which began in liverpool today are examining the response from nhs managers to concerns about her behaviour. the king and queen will

donald trump lawson pennsylvania. on that ballot, some republican won races and some democrats one races. the will of the people was respected. we got some of these administrative issues that have yet to be fully worked through. largely because some lawmakers have refused to take up these reforms with those in counties all across pennsylvania have called for. every time there is bipartisan consensus around dealing with these sort of administrative but important issues they say don't do it so republicans follow suit. and calling for these common sense reforms in the absence of action by the legislature, the courts are forced to deal with this. in this present case i said that they will walk -- work through the process and as you've always try to do here in pennsylvania and up with a focus on the enfranchisement not disenfranchisement. >> lawmakers must have felt that the secure oppal open stance signatures getting in by a certain day and they are codified so why not respect that? it looks like you might want to repeal

correspondent bryan llenas is in pennsylvania tonight. >> i am feeling very good about pennsylvania,ecause there are a lot of people in pennsylvania who deserve to be seen and heard. >> tonight, vice president kamala harris campaigning in rural pennsylvania counties trump won by double digits in 2020. >> ultimately, i feel very strongly that got to earn every vote. >> in a new document, the harris campaign is detailing its plan for rural america for the first time promising to invest in rural infrastructure. lower energy coors for farmers. and lower grocery prices. but the latest congressional republican economic report says pennsylvanians are spending on average 19%, $984 more a month on energy, food, housing and transportation since the start of the biden-harris administration. the race in pennsylvania is tied and it hinges on the economy. where polls show trump is trusted more than harris. inflation may not be the only problem for harris, so, too, is the support of pennsylvania's steelworks. tonight, "the washington post" reports the biden-harris administration will likely delay i

donald trump loss in pennsylvania.the way on that ballot some democrats want raises the will of the people was respected. we got some of these administrative issues that have yet to be fully worked through in the courts. largely because some lawmakers have refused to take up commonsense reforms that republican and democrat clerks of elections and counties all across pennsylvania have called for. every time there's a bipartisan consensus around dealing with these administrative but important issues, donald trump jumps in and says don't do it. until republicans follow suit. it's really unfortunate, republican and democratic clerks keep calling commonsense reforms and in the absence of action by the legislature the courts are forced to deal with this. in this and present case i couldn't expect it will continue to work to the process. as we have always tried to do here in pennsylvania and up with a focus on and franchise but not disenfranchisement. because at some point lawmakers must have felt the secure envelopes, the si

pennsylvania. pennsylvania. pennsylvania. this is a very consequential vote in pennsylvania, because they say that if you win pennsylvania you are going to win the whole thing. we cannot let these people, we cannot let these people when pennsylvania. >> pennsylvania is almost as crucial for harris. right now she loses in the polls, but it is within the margin of error and i think it is fair to say all these states can be close. if she wins there she is in good shape. she can also win in longshot scenarios without pennsylvania. she can hold georgia and flip north carolina, which a democrat has not one for quite some time. for both campaigns the keystone state looks like a true keystone directory and that has also borne out this week. harris and president biden rallied in pittsburgh on labor day. the campaign saying harris will return there on thursday. running mate tim walz is beginning his own solo trip to multiple parts of pennsylvania including lancaster on wednesday. even doug emhoff, first gentleman, is expected to campai

perhaps nowhere more so then in these swing states like pennsylvania, the latest polling in pennsylvania shows that they are neck and neck in a recent poll, harris held a slim lead over trump 50 to 47%. that is just outside the margin of error. so what do you think harris needs to do to win pennsylvania? >> well, first, whoever wins pennsylvania will be the next president. that was the case in 2016 pennsylvania decided the election, unfortunately, in donald trump's direction. in 2020, joe biden was able to win pennsylvania back and thus able to win the white house back. and it'll be the same. and in 2024, the one challenge and the reason why pennsylvania is such a crucial battleground state is that it includes so many different slices of the electorate. so you actually can't trust. you don't have the luxury to focus on trust. one thing we have urban, suburban, rural we have immigrants, especially in the philadelphia area very in places in lancashire and reading, we have a lot of blue collar voters of all different ethnicities, but especially white. we have parts of the state that are kin

last week, she is going back to pennsylvania this week.ey battleground voting state where early voting is about to begin with 50, 51 days left before the election. people will start casting ballots so the harris-walz campaign was to make sure they get out in front of potential voters in these critical states. tuesday the vice president will be in philadelphia for what the campaign is calling a fireside chat with the national association of black journalists. that will happen in philadelphia. we understand then she will move on to michigan on thursday, she will sit down with oprah winfrey and a few hundred other people for a live stream event and on friday, a rally in wisconsin. at the same time, governor walz will be in georgia and in north carolina. there are many surrogates for the harris-walz campaign that are crisscrossing the country talking about this comparison between vice president harris and former president trump, try to make the case for voters who are still undecided to swing into the harris camp. i want you to hear a little b

the commonwealth of pennsylvania well, pennsylvania was and remains one of seven states that does not allow pre canvassing of ballots until election day. and as the enquirer noted, this creates a strain on resources which delays the final results and other litigation is ongoing. there are issues over whether counties should count mail-in ballots sent without secrecy envelopes, or whether county should notify voters if their mail-in ballots are at risk of rejection because of a stake in filling out the forms. and in a third case, the state's commonwealth court ruled that not counting votes because someone failed to put a proper date on the exterior of their mail-in envelope, which arrived on time, is in violation of pennsylvania's free and equal election shins clause. and more challenges will surely arise as steve oh, rick and editor at politics pa and an election official in york county during the 2020 election told me if pennsylvania is as close as it's been in the last two, anything will be fair game it could all create the perfect storm one candidate again, complaining of a fix whi

in. >> i am feeling very good about pennsylvania because there are a lot of people in pennsylvania who deserve to be seen and heard. that's why i'm here in johns town. and i will be continuing to travel around the state to make sure that, i am listening as much as we are talking and ultimately i feel very strongly that, i have to earn every vote. and that means spending time with folks in the communities where they live. and so that's why i'm here. we're going to be spending a lot more time in pennsylvania. >> joining us now is the pennsylvania house speaker joanna mcclinton. as always all eyes are on pennsylvania. like last time around there's an energy in pennsylvania and clearly the vice president and her team are spending a lot of time in that state. because it may be where the decision is made. >> ali, it's good to be back. thank you. it is very important that kamala harris spends every bit of time she has in the commonwealth of pennsylvania because we are a purple state. we're a state that sometime is red, other times blue and we have seen that in the elections prior to 2020. we

. >> it's pennsylvania pennsylvania.a. i feel like tim russert, but in 2024, talking about the commonwealth of pennsylvania because the bottom line is this if you take the betting favorites in all the states and you give kamala harris, pennsylvania, she gets to exactly 200 electoral votes. but anderson, if you take away those 19 electoral votes and you're given a donald trump guess who wins the election? it's donald trump with 281 electoral votes. the bottom line is kamala harris was in pennsylvania today. she'll be going back over and over and over again and she'll be joined by donald trump because the bottom line is whoever wins, pennsylvania is most likely going to win the presidency all right. >> harry enten, thanks very much. joey south pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman, senator. thanks for being with us given what we're seeing in the polls from pennsylvania, how confident are you that vice president harris? chris will be able to repeat present biden's win. there i do believe and i think it's just think

they are going to change the name of pennsylvania. >> joining me as the governor pennsylvania, josh shapiro. estate whose name i don't think it's going anywhere unless i'm mistaken. >> we are not changing it. >> you are going to keep it? >> yeah. there is zero chance. man, oh man, do we have a stark contrast. you later to perfectly and i'm looking forward to the sthe conversation. >> i have looked at some of the polling in your state. you are a popular governor enter democratic governor in a state that they politically divided state. the first question for you. someone says i like governor so josh shapiro. maybe i'm goa republican centri what does the biden/harris administration -- >> i chalk it up to a state- level apparatus. word to say to that voter? >> i would say to the good people of pennsylvania, we have cut taxes four times in the commonwealth and we made historic investments in education and public safety and economic development. things are going well. we have work to do but things are going well. i understand the politics is a team game you've got to have te partners in this. i a

so i just want to take a look at pennsylvania. pennsylvania. pennsylvania. and what we see as a tightening race in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, right? this is harris versus trump margin in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania a month ago when you looked at the polls, new york times plus for harris plus three quinnipiac for harris, franklin and marshall, plus three for harris. but look at polls that have come out over the last week or so. and what do we see? we see a much tighter race. we see a tie in the cbs news yougov poll. we see a tie in the cnn ssrs, paul and this to me is part of an emerging pattern which has in a very pivotal state what we saw was a small harris leave, but within the margin of error for becoming a race, that is way, way, way too close to call it this particular point 0.1 that is even you say very pivotal, the commonwealth of pennsylvania could be how pivotal, how pivotal. alright, so let's take a look at this particular map. this is what the betting favorites, but what kamala harris taking the great commonwealth of pennsylvania

tonight, in pennsylvania.donald trump is able to secure those three states, he hits his 270 mark. let's say the democrats win, kamala harris wins nevada, michigan, wisconsin, as long as donald trump wins arizona, georgia, north carolina, and then pennsylvania, pennsylvania is that ultimate state, that let's say it plays out that way, if kamala harris wins pennsylvania, the presidency is hers. if donald trump wins pennsylvania, it is his. and that is why you see him there tonight, you see her going there on wednesday, it is going to be pennsylvania, pennsylvania, pennsylvania. >> which is great for me, that's where i started, that's where i spent years covering politics. susan page, this tight race makes another debate all the more important. kamala harris challenging donald trump to debate again on october 23rd. let's watch what they both had to say. >> join me on the debate stage. let's have another debate. there is more to talk about and the voters of america deserve to hear the conversations that i think we

we are seeing right here in pennsylvania the effect of trump's abortion bans. we've seen a significant increase in the number of women coming from neighboring states, particularly west virginia, where they have a ban into our clinics in pittsburgh and dunkin me wrong. we're happy to provide reproductive health care and all forms of health care for women who come across the governor of west virginia in the pittsburgh and western pennsylvania. but the reality is trump's abortion bans are hurting women across pennsylvania we need to codify roe and that's what kamala harris and i appreciate that you're talking about what donald trump did with roe and what he i'm not really sure entirely what he wants to do now, but the question is what her position is and what it should be and it's d the question is, do you believe? that it would be better for her or important for her to have any position that also includes limits on abortion think she'll speak for herself as to what those limits ought to be. but remember codifying roe provides some of those limits, something that

fracking is popular in pennsylvania. pennsylvania once use efficient energy sources are here in the u.s. and i think that's going to be a continued theme. eric: do you see something that could help the current vice president in her race? >> are big edge of the fox poll is on abortion. i think she has obviously made that a point of emphasis. in a swing state like pennsylvania maybe trump can make some headway pointing out she's essentially for no limit at all on the practice. most voters are more in the camp of allowing it but with limits. that is possibly something the former president trump could use it. but to this point and use it in the poll abortion is her main issue in terms of the biggest as she has over trump. another important aspect of your poll as this is really about independence here. the former president trump has a big edge, 18 points among independents. and also according to the pole it's the only group are you still have undecided voters. republicans and democrats are essentially no one is saying i don't

still ahead here on cnn this morning, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. they always play a critical role in determining whom who will win the white house up next, we're going to speak with a man who coined the phrase the blue wall about how voters in those states are win key issues in this election cycle. plus a new book taking a deep dive into how donald trump's rise on the apprentice helped sweep him into the white house almost a decade ago my name is donald trump and i'm the largest real estate developer in new york i own buildings all over the place. model agencies, the miss universe pageant syscall, cnn is taking a break from brittney news to air. have it i've got news for you. >> breaking news. i'm getting a sandwich. >> we need to talk about what constitutes breaking news. her provide got news for you saturday at nine on cnn and streaming next day on max right now, pet dander skin cells in dirt. >> are settling deep into your carpet fibers stanley steamer removes the dirt uc in the dirt. you don't you're carpets aren't clean until there stanley ste

pennsylvania. pennsylvania. i feel like tim russert, but in 2024, talking about the commonwealth of pennsylvania because the bottom line is this. if you take the betting favorites in all the states and you give kamala harris, pennsylvania, she gets to exactly 270 electoral votes, but anderson, if you take away those 19 electoral votes and you're given a donald trump guess who wins the election? it's donald trump with 281 electoral votes. the bottom line is kamala harris was in pencil so venue today, she'll be going back over and over and over again and she'll be joined by donald trump because the bottom line is, whoever wins, pennsylvania is most likely going to win the presidency. >> and republican strategist and director of the group, haley voters for harris, craig snyder joins us now. he's also the author of the new political thriller, gille. and he was achieved if of state to the latest pennsylvania senator arlen specter thank you so much for joining us. so we saw there from the numbers, just how vital the s

this is what she said i am feeling very good about pennsylvania. i feel very strongly that that earn every vote and that means spending time with looks in the communities where they live. and so that's why i'm here and we're going to be spending a lot more time in pennsylvania maybe feeling very good. but cnn has also learned tonight that the harris campaign chair jen o'malley dillon, is skeptical of any one clear path to winning the white house. that includes she taught her telling top aides last week the pennsylvania looks rough, though it's still very possible according to what they're seeing internally, that can be why we have seen vice president harris spending seven of the last eight days in the commonwealth and includes events that she had in two counties that trump won by double digits in 2020, she was just there today out on the road i source tonight is the pride of doylestown, pennsylvania and cnn's smerconish, michael smerconish, who better thank my mother will love that. >> she thanks to you. >> we aim to please mobs with this show, but

pennsylvania is increasingly a red state.0,000 votes last six or seven years and people across pennsylvania are looking for change. it is really a race between an outsider, someone who has been a leader versus a career politician who has endorsed a set and voted for a set of radical liberal policies just out of touch from pennsylvaniaance. >> dana: the poll was a wake-up call for democrats having trump back in the lead for the first time in several weeks at 49-48. it is close. in pennsylvania it's 49-48. national poll up by one. josh and our own bill hemmer at the board showing you how does each candidate get to 270, without pennsylvania for her, it almost becomes impossible. so tell me about your strategy to try to hold her off. >> i think it's may be the one state where kamala harris has a tougher time than president biden would have been. the reason for that is she has got a set of liberal san francisco policies that are just simply out of step with pennsylvania. banning fracking, transitioning energy workers, legalizing o

local time in wilkes barre, pennsylvania.ic crowd assembled in a large coliseum there. the people behind her there. waving to a very excited crowd. the speech we heard was familiar in some respects. some of the lines she has used in her stump speech, as well as some of the newer material we've heard since what many considered a romp of a debate against donald trump on tuesday night. we can also tell you before we bring our guests in here, we briefly heard what appeared to be a disruption from protesters. our cameras didn't have visuals on them. the vice president responded by speaking about the war in the middle east and calling for a cease-fire. our inference it would appear to be protesters on this issue. the crowd with which her on that point as she referenced wanting to be able to speak. you can see the vice president there walking off stage left about to exit under one of the freedom banners. i want to bring in the white house correspondent from "usa today" who has been covering vice president harris for about five years

, very different from eastern pennsylvania. so there out west today pittsburgh is where biden launched his 2020 campaign, where he held his final rally in 2020 as well. what do you think the harris campaign is hoping that biden will help them with their i think it's actually very strategic lax because we've heard it from the panel and the report that we heard earlier just now, which is that joe scranton joe, as you mentioned, is still very popular in these pockets of union worker cities and towns and he is somebody that can absolutely speak to the struggles, speak to the worries, to the anxieties that workers have across the board. he can also speak to to not just what he has done in the biden administration to help all of these workers. but what the kamala harris and tim walz administration would continue to continue to do for them. and i think he speaks from a place of credibility that donald trump or j.d. vance would never have and i think he can be somebody who will compare and contrast what they have done for workers versu

the election fracking in pennsylvania will end on day one. but if she won the election the day after that election, they'll go back to destroying our country and oil will be dead, fossil fuel will be dead what have you heard from voters in pennsylvania on my buddy david urban is going to disagree. >> he'll probably tweet at both of us tonight what he hears me say this again, i think it's an overblown issue. i think the perception from a national stage as to look at pennsylvania and say, well, you've got to be supportive of fracking or you can't win really? tell that to joe biden until that des josh shapiro, she's trying to thread a needle now, right by having this nuanced approach. but for every time someone tells you about a job that's at stake in southwestern pennsylvania. remember, there's no fracking where i live in the philly burbs. nobody's fracking in the city. nobody is fracking and montgomery county, chester bucks, or delaware county? honey and there or where i live, there are environmental concerns. so in the end, i think it's almos

we will continue to do great things in pennsylvania and hofu

what happened in pennsylvania was a mistake. i'm not i know who organized the meeting, going to the weapons factory, thanking the workers makes sense, but whether it was intended or not, it's not enough... my view on this situation is this: it's not about now, it's about the long-term result. it is in our interests as americans to make sure that putin will not succeed in dismembering ukraine, because that would untie china's hands with taiwan. i think putin will continue his offensive. i think it is important that president zelensky argued for president biden to change the military strategy. the meeting had a positive character. there was bipartisan support in... ukraine, which i think is extremely important. i think we need to win this war. i believe that we need to protect the territorial integrity of ukraine and protect democracy. i think nato and the united states are committed to that. i think the free world is committed to that. let me point out that support for ukraine consistently gets over 300 votes in the house of repr

pennsylvania is the jewel in the crown. of the seven swing states, 19 votes in the electoral college system, so both candidates, trump and harris, are spending millions of dollars to get this diamond in their crown. john staun is a town in central pennsylvania that once thrived thanks to the steel foundry and metallurgy industry, but the furnaces in the shops behind me have not been lit for several decades, the city has not been able to rebuild its economy, since then it has been one of the poorest in pennsylvania. people without a college education, the core of trump's supporters, they paved the way for him to the white house 8 years ago, when pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, contrary to expectations and ... true american patriots. the moment is approaching: we will win in pennsylvania, we will defeat kamela haris, we will retake the white house home and make this country greater than ever. trump is a proponent of populist rhetoric, and he has promised to solve all of the country's problems with a wave of a magic wand

we were all headed to pennsylvania. has a clear path in those states and i think that's why you are seeing her go there consistently. and you will see her there a lot more. >> john: so many polls are being taken now. it's difficult to know which one is the accurate. >> you need to take it with a grain of salt. let's speak plainly. i find it really hard to believe a candidate, either candidate, wins in georgia and north carolina but loses pennsylvania. a lot of these go in tandem. michigan and wisconsin tend to go together. they can be outliers but it's hard to see somebody winning pennsylvania and having strengths they are but somehow state that trends right. brian kemp one the george's r race. we have seen this across the ballot. trump can overcome that by about ten points or so if it is a candidate. i'm not too worried about folks running for governor or senate who are not as strong. trump tends to do well in spite of that. >> john: let me come back to the subject of getting to know kamala harris per 2019 she was all

this is pennsylvania. if trump wins pennsylvania, it's over for harris. she has to win pennsylvania. and the fact that it's tied there right now is a real problem for her, given the kind of love fest she's gotten over the past month, which he's gotten very favorable coverage. she's gotten adeh energy within her party and really hasn't had to lay out any policy initiatives and tell she's starting to do that now gotten away with the fact that she hasn't she doesn't own any of the last four years, which is a little amazing. and i think i think that this is the next 60 days it's gonna be a little bit tougher than the last 44 her let's actually jump on them, maria, because that's something that it has been a definite strategic move and shift from the trump campaign. >> one is to try and paint her as the incumbent in this race. and also making her trying to make her responsible for what maker who are responsible for all of joe biden's decisions and policy decisions and policy moves over the last three-and-a-half years, j.d vance seems to be leading this charge.

talk more about pennsylvania.at's the one democrats seem most nervous about. tell us what those concerns are and how harris and her team are looking to meet them. >> yeah, something that cedric bridgeman said last week in the debate room, he said pennsylvania is the tightest of the battleground states. people really acknowledge this is the state that has the highest population of any of the swing states. it has the most electoral college votes. biden is also going to be in pennsylvania today. he'll be in philadelphia. even though harris started to make distance between her and biden, that really stuck out in the philly interview. she was asked how she is different from biden. she says she offers a new generation of leadership, something further than comments i've heard from her before. people recognize that biden could be the most helpful in pennsylvania, where he is from. he's from scranton, pennsylvania. he has deep ties with labor, branded himself as the most pro-labor president. if there is anywhere joe biden

. >> up next, a remembrance ceremony at the flight 93 memorial in shanksville, pennsylvania. on the 23rd anniversary of the september 11 terrorist attacks. you're watching c-span2. ♪♪ ♪♪ >> good morning. as we gather. ♪♪ >> i am reminded of the prediction president george w. bush made at the dedication of the 9/11 pentagon memorial, 2008. in that speech he said, quote, for future generations, this memorial will be a place of learning. the date will come when most americans have no living memory of the events of september 11th. it's been more than two decades since the terrorist attacks in september 11th. and rising leaders in this country and across the world have grown up with no or very little memory of that day. despite this experience, these young minds come to special places, like the pentagon memorial and here at flight 93 national memorial to learn how the actions of ordinary people have shaped their world. as i stand here this morning, the presence of thousands of students joining us virtually here across the country, for the teach to remember 9/11, a national day of

number one, pennsylvania, it's it's pennsylvania is the ball game. there's no reasonable way you can really in my opinion, win pennsylvania and lose a state like georgia or nevada, they all kind of are linked, maybe not tangibly, but essentially wisconsin and michigan, they've always kind of gone together. that's less of a surprise and look, i think that is back in play, arizona. >> what was surprising me, obviously abortion, there's a referendum on the ballot. so it tells me that there's not an automatic pro-abortion and pro-harris lincoln lincoln together on that. and then the last point is, look, 62 days away, i believe that's july 4 to today. so think back, it's it's not nothing let's change not only to tire is david chalian, can we talk about georgia for a second? i'm interested to know what you think about what matt said in that. maybe georgia, pennsylvania go together. but this was something that when i talked to republicans, they say, well, this is kind of a tough hill for her to climb in georgia. do you agree? three with that? are polling su

that kamala harris will win pennsylvania every election is closed in pennsylvania 20 2016 was about 44,000 votes. >> 2020 was 80,000 votes. a point or less decided each of those elections, i fully expect this to be a close election. i will tell you, i think the vice president's get some real wind at her back and, you know what i'm taking note of is in communities that are often ignored and left behind kamala harris. he's showing up just a couple of days ago. she was in johnstown, pennsylvania and then in wilkes-barre a few hours later. these are communities that oftentimes feel ignored by biden national democrats xi showing up and by the way, getting great crowds and i'm feeling real enthusiasm there's something to be said for the person who not only votes for the vice president but is willing to put that sign on their lawn, willing to wear that t-shirt or maybe even that taylor swift french bracelet it sends a message to their friends and neighbors that they're for kamala harris. they like her positions. they think she's the right person to lead us forward. and so i think what i'm seeing

we have a lot in common, pennsylvania and and a soda. you are-- and minnesota. you are no stranger to snow here. [laughter] it is going to be a voted of voter, friend to friend contest. you have to be willing to talk about politics. you cannot have people believe it doesn't matter and that it is all the same and start conspiracy theories and things like that. in detroit a couple weeks ago we got out and there were 15,000 people there. donald trump said they were ai generated. [laughter] you know what would be ai generated? all those votes. [laughter] [applause] we have people calling their neighbors, every single one of those voter contacts is one step closer. politics is not the ends, it is the means. the end is a free and fair country. freedom to make your own health care decisions, freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water. and freedom for our kids to go to school without being shot. i know that is heavy in our hearts today. [laughter] -- [applause] we can no longer go by on thoughts and prayers when we can have what we do in minnesota, background ch

pennsylvania. did want to ask you about new hampshire. before biden pulled out, there were sort of inklings that trump might be able to win new hampshire, for example. democrats had been fine there for a while. harris comes in and looks like everything is fine. harris goes there yesterday. do you think that new hampshire is still in play or have democrats taken that off the map for donald trump? >> i think the map is off for donald trump in new hampshire. the democrats have a lead there. i'm happy they aren't taking anything for granted. you have her going straight at these things saying let's make sure. if you are going to announce a tax plan, which she did yesterday, do it in new hampshire where tax is the number one issue and get this thing over. what they did was really smart politics. >> dana: one of the things that is happening is fascinating story in the last couple of weeks i'm paying attention to, the number of retirees saying that they can no longer afford because of the cost of living in

ok, whoever wins pennsylvania will win this election. all right, let's reset the map the, let's do this behind there. you see, let's take this pulled out again andrea, i'm going to come to you. let's look at trump past the victory here. truck needs to win pennsylvania. he needs to win north carolina, which is very likely by the way, he needs to win georgia, which is also likely that's it. he's got 270. and of course, if we throw and then we have, we throw in arizona, which is winning by, you know, but not a significant number, but he's winning. and historically, it's been a state lately that's gone republican, that's his path to victory. how do you, how do you feel about that? i mean, we see where the ad buys are going. i mean, and we're seeing where the ad dollars are going. it is only going to those states. in fact, in southern georgia, trump pulled some of his ad buys, which i filed really surprising, so he must be pretty secure. there. i think absolutely. pennsylvania is the battle ground state. he needs the rust belt, which is why j

indiana county pennsylvania. this has advice kamala harris will be back in the state on wednesday where was she will be announcing new economic proposals. the latest on that way turn to jackie. she's at the white house for us. what do we know? >> mbye see paul this weekend that was broadly positive for her showed her trailing trump by nine points on the economy and eight on dealing with the cost of living it seems her campaign is getting the message are now planning another economic policy announcement for later on this week. but the note -- newswire that got an expose of about it did not have too many details. this is what they read. none of the sources were bright specific details on the policies and the campaign will not comment on any new proposals. here is how vp previewed it yesterday. >> an opportunity economy rig drilling in short form is about what we can do more to invest in the ambitions and dreams of the american people while addressing the challenges that they face whether it be the high price of gro

it is a small steel town in southwestern pennsylvania right outside the city of pittsburgh. addressing gun violence has been my number one because as a public official. when i served as the senior advisor in allegheny county government helping to start the first office in the county health department, as a state representative help create the gun violence reduction initiative, and now lieutenant governor. i know this is an issue near and dear to brandon's heart. brandon, i would love to start by asking you to share a little bit about your personal story, your journey, and that of your daughter carly. >> thank you, austin. before i begin, i want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to come here and share my story and talk about ways to address gun violence. it is no secret gun violence is rampant across america. it is going to need to be solved in the political arena, which is why we need leaders that can empathize, that understand the challenges in the communities, and really care. i want to start off by thanking you, austin, for all the work i've seen you do in o

ukrainian votes, they can actually decide the outcome of the election in pennsylvania, and since pennsylvaniaa key swing state in this campaign in general, it is quite likely that they can decide the fate of the entire presidential campaign, therefore trump and many republicans react very emotionally to the appearance of zelenskyi in this state and see it as an attempt to convince ukrainians to support the democrats, that is, some republicans, in particular trump, may not like the fact that, in their opinion, zelenskyi is siding with the democrats and supports garis, and in particular, we also heard the statements of volodymyr zelenskyi on the eve of his visit to the united states, in which he quite directly indicated that he considers donald trump's position on peace negotiations with russia to be unclear and he said that trump himself does not understand how peaceful he is. he questioned in general the position of the republicans in relations with ukraine, well, it seems to me that this was the wrong signal at the beginning of such an important visit of zelensky to the usa. to whom was this
