Cheers, michael. Welcome back to the weekend, everyone. Election day is 66 weeks i gave early voting kicks off in pennsylvania in just 16 days. To win, vice president kamala harris knows democrats need to grow their coalition and part of that means reaching out to conservative leaning voters. In her first major interview as a democratic nominee, she promised to welcome republican voices to her administration if she wins in november. I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it is important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences. I think it would be to the benefit of the american public to have a member of my cabinet who was a republican. Joining us now is olivia troye, former homeland security and terrorism adviser to mike pence. When i heard that i was like, that michael steele for commerce secretary. I could put on a tie. I would be happy to do that. It would be an honor
Heartbreaking to speak to the families, to speak to the loved ones who are still missing. It is awful indeed. Like all of the viewers, my heart goes out to them. Jim, we still dont know why or how this happened, but we are learning three years ago an engineer did raise concerns what was described as structural damage of this florida complex behind me. This triggers new concerns about the sister Condo Building just a block away. Theyre telling residents to evacuate out of that building out of an abundance of caution, and theyre also cautioning that it might take months to know for sure what went so horribly wrong here. Some Structural Engineering experts are weighing in. Theyre calling the 2018 report truly alarming. Well have much on that coming up in a few moments. Lets begin with that desperate search for survivors. Dozens are still unaccounted for and their families are growing more worried and more frustrated clearly by the minute. Cnns randi kaye is here at surfside. What are resc

Of sense for the country, our economy and the future. We have not heard from mitch mcconnell. Thank you so much. Thank you. This is cnn Breaking News. Top of the hour. Im victor blackwell. Thanks for staying with me. We begin with the lifeanddeath race right now in South Florida, the search for survivors more than 13 hours after a Building Collapsed and killed one, injured at least ten. Moments ago the Fire Marshall told cnn rescuers are hearing some voices there in the rubble. Surveillance video captured the moment. This is 1 30 a. M. , surfside, florida, 55 units of a condo pancaked. Floridas governor toured the Disaster Site a short time ago. We thank the fire and rescue for what they did to be able to put themselves on the line to help other folks. Theyre still hard at work. We still have hope to be able to identify additional survivors.

When that moment comes, that dire moment comes where they transition command then we will be in charge of the investigation. Thats why we are here. We are holding the Traffic Scenes right now, providing support. We have all our assets here. Once that transition comes, well be part of that investigation. Our Homicide Detectives will be doing a Death Investigation with other partners and its very similar to the fiu bridge tragedy. So it will be a structural issue there will be other things once they stop the Search And Rescue component. There will probably be federal resources involved in the investigation as well. This is probably for fire rescue. If you dont mind for people watching so we can get clear, the 102 people who have been accounted for at this time, not necessarily from the collapse, just rather the struct
