Thank you so much for having me with you today to have your dad. Heres what working on for you this morning battleground blitz, Vice President Kamala Harris rails against former President Donald Trump over reproductive rights and Lastminute Trip to georgia. While trump heads to North Carolina they were there republican backed candidate for governor is resisting calls to resign for lewd comments. He made on a Porn Site. Allies or former President Trump approved a controversial new rule in the Battleground State of georgia that some say could delay election results the changes they are calling for, and why both democrats and republicans say the fight is far from over. Plus israeli forces hit hezbollah strongholds in lebanon, killing a top target. Were live with the latest on the escalating conflict and rising fears of an allout war ahead. Plus Shohei Ohtani makes Mlb History and he just keeps going warn as major Career Milestone ahead. On cnn this morning all right, the candidates are laserfocused on Battleground States as we are now six weeks out from the president ial election, former President Donald Trump is headed to North Carolina today. This is his first event there since a bombshell, Cnn Report revealed his pick for Governor Mark Robinson posted inflammatory comments on a Porn Site years ago. He denies it Vice President Kamala Harris is taking a Breather Today after visiting Battleground States of georgia and wisconsin. Now these battleground visits are key as new polling shows, Trump And Harris are still locked in a dead heat. A new york times College Poll released this week shows the two who are tied at 47 nationally among likely voters. But the divide deepens on Ad Spending to date, democrats have outspent republicans nationally and in swing states since president Joe Biden left the race, democrats have raised more than 564 million, while republicans have raised just about 380 million now harris is focused on reproductive rights, took her to atlanta friday where she highlighted two recent abortion cases making headlines in georgia. Yeah, cnns Priscilla Alvarez explains her message to voters Vice President Kamala Harris delivering an impassioned address here in atlanta, georgia on friday on an issue that has been top of mind for her campaign because its also been top of mind for voters. And that is on reproductive rights. The Vice President , taking a detour to come to the Battleground State before heading to wisconsin, a trip that that sources tell me was planned immediately at the direction of the Vice President after a Media Report that revealed that two deaths were linked to the States Abortion restrictions. Now, the remarks by the Vice President were met with a somber audience. There was an emotional heaviness to the room as she spoke about the risks of st. Abortion restrictions with signs behind her that called them the Trump Abortion bans a phrase that she coined back in arizona. Now the Vice President going on to say that this election is a fight for freedom. She also talked about republicans being hypocrites. Take a listen. One in three, women in america lives in a state with a Trump Abortion ban this includes georgia and every state in the south, except virginia. Think about that when you compound that with what has been longstanding neglect of women in communities with a lack of adequate resources, they need for Health Care. Prenatal, during their pregnancy postpartum think about that. These hypocrites want to start talking about this is in the best interest of women and children who are have been wary when it comes to taking care of the women and children of america now at one point during her address as she also said, that they, the audience should say the name of one of the women who was mentioned in this Media Report dying from a treatable infection. It was a moment to address the situation at large and that being what the Vice President , her campaign has discussed as the threat against reproductive rights. This is an issue that the Vice President and her team are consistently talking about running ads in Battleground States. And of course, one, that she will continue to be hammering over the course of the next few weeks, hoping that it mobilizes voters to the polls Priscilla Alvarez, cnn, atlanta priscilla, thank you very much Donald Trump is returning to the key Battleground State of North Carolina today it will be his first appearance there since cnns reporting on offensive posts made by the trumpbacked candidate for governor on a Porn Website years ago. Now, in inflammatory posts, lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson referred to himself as a black nazi, and expressed supporort for reinstating slavery. Robinson denies making these comments trouble, hold a rally in wilmington and robinson is not expected to attend, though robinson has spoken at trumps rallies in North Carolina in the past trump, for his part, so far has not given any indication that he intends to pull his endorsement for robinson for governor. Meanwhile, Kamala Harriss campaign is already tying Mark Robinson to Donald Trump in a new ad released on friday, just one day after the Cnn Report on robinson came out. Ms country, its about killing the child because you werent responsible enough to keep your skirt down. Ive been with them a ive gotten to know him and his outstanding Donald Trump and Mark Robinson. Theyre both wrong for North Carolina the new ad is part of the Harris Campaigns 370 million spending on digital and television advertising, reservations slated from Labor Day until Election Day. Lets get more on all of this with national Politics Reporter Meg Kinnard with the associated press for some analysis. Meg, good morning to you. Lets start with this new Tv Ad put out by the Harris Campaign trying to tie president former President Trump to Mark Robinson. First off, robinson is claiming that these posts are fake, that they were ai generated. And hes saying that he has no intention of pulling out of this race obviously, the Harris Camp is hoping that this bill hurt Donald Trumps chances in North Carolina will it we shall see, but it is important to note that this is also in addition to what you just said the first time that the Harris Campaign has waded directly in a Downballot Contest . For 2024. There were quick to point that out and releasing this ad. And this shows a couple of things. One, the importance of North Carolina and the president ial race. But also the Vice President s campaign and what they are hoping to do to remind voters across the country in places starting with North Carolina of who else is on the ballot and who else Donald Trump has aligned with in these contests that are coming up with cnns reporting coming out with the Trump Campaign, maybe appearing to distance itself a little bit by not having Mark Robinson at this event today, which ill be attending and a couple of hours well see how it all plays out on november 5, but those are important things to note when it comes to taking stock a couple were democrats are really focusing and the message that theyre hoping to drive home with voters of tying Donald Trump to some of these candidates. And as this add launched, Kamala Harris made his Lastminute Trip to atlanta on Friday Sources are telling us that she planned this visit immediately. It was hastily arranged after hearing this Media Report that revealed two deaths linked to Georgias Abortion restrictions. And harris last night forcefully went after trump on this issue. Listen many of us remember theres so many leaders here. From two years ago when the Dobbs Decision came down knew this could happen a word preventable, and there is another word predictable. And the reality is for every story, we hear of the suffering under Trump Abortion bans. There are so many other stories were not hearing suffering is happening every day in our country i mean, this is really an issue, obviously that harris is so passionate about and her quick pivot to georgia in the wake of those deaths. I mean, it really seems to show that shes banking on this issue of abortion to galvanize voters it does. And the issue of abortion and reproductive rights has been something that the Vice President , as you note since the Dobbs Decision, has been quick to remind voters of, look, whats at stake in these elections that are coming up. And lets remember states that have actually had issues related to reproductive rights on the ballot directly to voters, not by way of candidates supporting one way or the other. Democrats have had a lot of success in those contests. When i talked to democratic voters along the trail, they remind me of that and also theyre pointing out, look, these are things that are important to us is were going to the polls. Its interesting when i talked to republican voters, abortion is not really top of mind, at least to the ones ive spoken with. Thats anecdotal, but i hear a lot about the economy. I hear a lot about immigration, but i dont hear as much about issues related to abortion. So just my unscientific survey shows you that there are democratic voters who are really thinking about those things and maybe its because candidates like the Vice President are out outfront talking about them very frequently. Donald trump does often remind voters, look, i told you that i would overturn roe and i did and i wanted the supreme court justices. But, you know, necessarily what voters are telling me, whats important to them thats not really what im hearing as much lately as i used to, maybe a couple of years ago, were just what, 40 some days out from Election Day. And were also seeing these election rules and laws, the attempts, at least from trump allies and trump himself trying to get in certain states, some of these rules changed here in georgia we saw the Election Board Vote to change several roles, including one that will require the Hand Counting of ballots at each Polling Place to make sure it matches up with the number of ballots well, its that were tally by the machines, but also nebraska trump and his allies are trying to get the winner take all system changed, which has been in place for the last 30 years. I mean, clearly there is a clear motive here, meg there are a lot of different things that weve seen the Trump Campaign and before was an official campaign. The Trump Orbit doing to try to make changes in these states where obviously states are independent when it comes to the certification of their votes before they go on to the senate. But this its just another one of those circumstances where we have seen trump and his allies in the states really having success in doing some of the things theyve been trying to do to make changes to the way elections look. This started in part with State Party Leadership and with a lot of other State Level officials and what youre seeing with some of these law changes is the culmination of that. And so its been a yearslong process. But now, as you note, just 40 something days before november 5, it is interesting to note how much influence some of that has had over the past couple of years. And actually coming down to these changes at the State Level . Yeah matt, can are they . They can obviously have really lasting impacts on the election as well. Good to have you this morning. Thank you come, President Biden will host the leaders of australia, india, and japan.

Starting monday, students can return to campus at Clark State College and Wittenberg University in springfield the school started receiving threats after former President Donald Trump and his Vice President ial running mate began pushing unfounded claims that immigrants in the city are stealing and eating pets. Springfields mayor confirmed that he told advanced Campaign Staffer on september 9, its claims were baseless and kentucky investigators have confirmed that a body discovered in the woods is the man who shot at people along an interstate a couple of weeks ago. Police say Joseph Couch died from a selfinflicted gunshot wound a manhunt for couch went on for several days after police say he perched atop a cliff and opened fire on random drawn fibers along i75 five people were shot. A kentucky couple started their own search and found couchs body, deepen the wilderness not far the Shooting Site and the house voted friday to pass a secret Service Protection Bill following two assassination attempts on Donald Trump it passed with an overwhelming, unanimous foro five to zero vote. The bill directs the secret service to increase protections for major president ial and Vice President ial candidates. It is unclear though, if it will pass the senate because some democrats argue enhanced security is already in place for trump in a sprint to cement his president ial legacy, President Biden is directing his cabinet to speed up efforts to implement his Agenda Yesterday was his first Cabinet Meeting with all of his advisers in nearly a year, and its likely his last it was also the first meeting that first lady jill biden, attended. President biden began the meeting calling calling for congress to work across the aisle to pass a shortterm funding bill. In another move to put a stamp on his legacy, President Biden is hosting foreign leaders for the Quad Summit. This weekend. And this will be the first time hosting prime ministers from australia, india, and japan in his hometown of wilmington, delaware cnns Camila Dechalus is following this for us, Kamala Talk to us about why this meeting with the quad is so significant well, amara, there are a number of things that President Biden wants to achieve during the summit. And some of the biggest things that white house advisers tell us is that they want to focus on how china is becoming more aggressive when it comes to the south china sea. They also want to talk about how these countries can come together when it comes to responding with humanitarian aid or just responding when it comes to natural disasters and different regions. And were also told that biden wants to focus on something very personal to him, and that is new joint efforts to reach really tried to fight cancer and some of the initiatives that these countries are going to now collaborate and come together to really do more screenings when it comes to cervical cancer. And really have that fight against cancer and other putting more investment towards research now, amara, as you mentioned, this summer is going to take place in wilmington that was a very personal choice for the president. He wants to really display to these leaders that foreign policy can also be personal. And its also an element where he wants to show them, where the state where he grew up. This is a very personal town for biden. This is his hometown and he really wants to demonstrate that by holding this summit in dc.

The Strike Captain friday, the fourth straight day of israeli attacks on the iranbacked Militia Group in lebanon. It started with the stunning Pager And Walkietalkie explosions earlier this week those explosions injured thousands and killed at least 37 people, including children. Israel called it a new era of the War Cnn international Correspondent Jomana Karadsheh joins us now, jomana despite all of that, the u. S. Says it has not given up hope for a ceasefire deal. What can you tell us . Well, danny, weve been hearing this from the u. S. Administration for weeks and months now. And you know, talking about this ceasefire deal, this not only would secure the release of hostages mean ending the suffering of the people of gaza who are going through the unimagined its novel. It also would walk the region back from the brink of a wider conflict that everyone has been so worried about but the prospects of a deal are look very bleak right now. These negotiations are going nowhere. It seems and a lot of people that ive been speaking to in the region, some officials in arab countries they feel that this is not going to happen anytime soon and theres also been the question of why is the u. S. Not doing more . The us many believe has the leverage, has the power to make a deal happen. And they feel that it is not putting all its Power And Leverage here and trying to make it happen. And you can see right now the situation, the region in is an extremely dangerous one. Were talking about the developments in lebanon over the past few Days Blow after blow for hezbollah. Obviously with these unprecedented shocking attacks, these Pager And Walkietalkie attacks. But also on friday another devastating blow with that strike on that building in southern beirut suburbs that killed at least 16 members of hezbollah, including one of their most senior commanders. Another top commander, and other members and operatives of what is, hezbollahs special Operations Force . But at the same time, were also hearing in the past couple of hours from the lebanese Health Ministry saying that as many had feared, many civilians are among the casualties as well. This is one of lebanons most densely populated areas, and they say that at least seven women and three children aged 46 and ten are among the dead. And that the operation is still continuing there digging through the rubble there, trying to search for more people. There are some horror on unaccounted for right now and this is a very tense and terrifying moment for so many people in lebanon who have gone through so much over the past few years and the question right now is where is this all headed what is hezbollah going to do next . Because what you have had since october the eighth is this mid Level Intensity Conflict that has for the most part been contained in the border region. With these crossborder attacks between israel and hezbollah. But this has obviously gone to a very, has entered a serious new dangerous phase and the question is, what is hezbollah going to do . And what is it that israel is doing right now . Is this Israel Warning Hezbollah . Is it trying to use this military pressure to secure its northern region, to secure the return of tens of thousands of displaced israelis to the north or is this israel setting the, laying the groundwork for what many fear could be in you offensive and a major military operation that could be coming oh, well, we shall see and thank you for keeping us abreast of all these most recent developments. Jomana karadsheh. Thank you very much. All right. Lets dig deeper and discuss with jasmine elgamal. Shes a former pentagon middle east advisor. Jasmine. Thank you so much for being with us this morning. I want to talk about just the past couple of days with the killing of ebrahim aqil. Thats the senior hezbollah commander. And the Pager And Walkietalkie attacks from your perspective, will we look back on this week as a true Turning Point in this war in the middle east thank you so much for having me and good morning. I think that what were seeing right now actually tells us a lot about where israel is in its thinking. Benjamin netanyahu needs a victory, right . Hes been in gaza for the last almost a year now. There has been no end in sight to the war in gaza gaza, right . He hasnt been able to kind of pull something up to people in israel and say, we want this war. In the meantime, israelis in the north have been displaced. Theyve been out of their homes for almost a year. The pressure has been mounting. You have protests every week for almost a year against i said yahoo and this war, he hasnt been able to bring the hostages back. And so he needs a victory. And so what were seeing in lebanon now, it actually provides a window into his thinking. Hes thinking if i can go into lebanon, if i can scare hezbollah into backing down, then maybe i can bring people back. So their homes in the north and then i can declare some kind of victory. I do not believe. And from everybody that im talking to in israel, i do not believe that Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking war with hezbollah. I think what were seeing right now is a sort of mad dash to to provide some sort of end to this endless conflict that weve been seeing for the last year. He wants to let his butler know that he is ready for war, but think twice about bringing it to us at home. But i guess do you i understand that thats your sense from talking to people what the prime Minister Strategy may be, but is that likely to . I mean, were seeing iran saying that this is crossed a red line. I mean, is this likely to deescalate . Or bring tensions down . Exactly. You hit the Nail Right on the head because the next part of that is that is what he wants. But is that actually whats going to happen . You know, we talk about the unintended consequences. And when we look at the middle east in the past decades, when we look at sort of, you know, the last its war between Hezbollah And Israel in 2006 nobody really wanted that, but it ended up happening anyway. So the real danger here is, is not only miscommunication, but miscalculation what happens when someone goes just a step too far and israel far has been really pushing the boundaries. I mean, people talk about the Pager Attack for example, being this extremely targeted attack but thats not quite true. I mean, these pagers, according to reports, have been in lebanon since 2022 the first pagers started coming into lebanon that were compromised in 2022. There was no way for israel to know who had those pagers where they were and so the plans we talk about the bestlaid plans, right. But what happens when the best laid plans go awry . What happens when you do something . Think that just goes over the red line that you didnt even know was there and where it was what you raised as the most important question which is the risk, the incredible risks of these kinds of operations, israel is pushing and pushing and pushing. And it may be intending to do this as a means of deterrence. But what action is going to actually flip that situation from deterrence . Into an aggression and a war by hezbollah and by iran because obviously has been that is extremely humiliated, right now. And theyre going to have to do something at some point. The question is, what are they going to do . Well, doesnt to that point, i mean, were talking about some of the people who have vested interests. Of course, who are in the region, but the un is also a potential player here at the un human Rights Chief said those specific attacks regarding the patrons in the walkietalkies using apparently harmless portable objects as boobytrapped devices may very well have violated international law. I mean, just quickly, what kind of weight does that have at this stage of the war . Thats a great way to phrase that question because when you say at this stage of the war, it does not hold any Weight Israel is not listening to the un right now neither the un or the icc or the icj, you know, there are all of these allegations there, all of these accusations and charges being leveled against israel for how its been conducting this war over the last year. And israel is certainly not paying attention. And frankly neither is the u. S as its most potent backer. But i do think that it is important for historical record, for when the or is over and people look back at how this war was waged. I think that is when these things are going to come into play jasmine elgamal. Thank you so much for your expertise and your perspective really appreciate it.

Wow, whether youre buying her ballet, weve got your back on syllable houses all new wednesday at eight on hgtv 45 days before Election Day in over the objections of key officials in the state, Donald Trumps allies on Georgias Election Board passed a new rule that critics say could delay the results of the president ial race. In requires a Hand Count of all ballots after polls close on election night, the rule is also receiving a lot of criticism some from local elections officials and poll workers and georgias republican Attorney General is warning that the move is likely unlawful cnns Sara Murray has more three people are all pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency, and victory there, fighting those three republicans on the georgia state Election Board, who Donald Trump praised at a Campaign Rally last month, charging ahead with a controversial new rule about handcounting balance so this leaves us in a very difficult position. Do we maintain the Status Quo because its easier . Or do we make a few adjustments so that we can be better, but its not better for many bipartisan election officials across the state who begged the board to pause a new rules ahead of november, the idea that youre not going to listen to the individuals that are charged with conduct an elections is absurd to me, state officials from republican secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to Attorney General Chris Carr issued sharp warnings. Thanks. Several of the dozen rules the board is considering may run afoul of the law to close to electric. In fact, were really just three weeks before we start early voting and its just too late in the cycle. The new rule doesnt help determine a winner. Rather, it requires a Hand Count of the number of ballots and Polling Places on Election Day. And then comparing the number of ballots cast with a number recorded by voting machines. Critics say its a recipe for chaos. If i were to hand this stack of paper to three random people in this room, especially at the end of a long Voting Day and ask them to arrive at the same total number. Do we think thats feasible . People doing a handcount are going to make mistakes, which can then be exploited to spread Lies Raffensperger says the change could delay reporting results on section night, you start breaking up the ballot boxes after you closed precinct. You wont be getting those Election Day votes until maybe 1 00, 2 00 of 4 00 in the morning and we just dont believe thats healthy for the republic and we dont think its healthy for people of georgia, the three Trump Backed Republicans pass the rule anyway the motion passes three to two even independent chairman of the Fivemember Board is theres more votes to implement this role . I think that we put ourselves in legal jeopardy. And this new rule is almost certainly going to face legal challenges. And to that end, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger put out a statement after the meeting saying Attorney General Chris Carr has stated that these rules would not withstand a legal challenge, and i have worked every day the strength in Georgias Election Law to ensure our elections remain safe, secure, and free. So its just a question at this point of where these legal challenges are going to come from. Sara murray, cnn, washington Sara Murray, thank you.
