Stretch, vice president kamala harris teaming up with president biden and xi courts, a crucial voting bloc in two in swing states plus the right to metal trump. Now claiming he had quote, every right to interfere in the last election and grounded the u. S. Season the presidential plane of another foreign leader that plane now in florida why? and could it lead to an escalation between the two countries? let's go outfront good evening. I'm brianna keilar in for erin burnett outfront tonight. The home stretch, vice president kamala harris on the road as the 2024 presidential campaign enters the final push and just a short time ago, harris and joe biden traveled to the president's home state to rally the democrats project based we know the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up this woman knows what she's doing i promise you if your elect kamala harris as president will be the best as you will have ever made the harris campaign knows how important pennsylvania will be in the november election of all the swing states. It has the most electoral votes, 19 and biden bested trump there by less than 2% of the vote before arriving in the keystone state, harris was in detroit, michigan speaking to another group of union workers dressing that while she may have momentum, this race is still too close to call last not paid too much attention to the polls. Let's like labor always does you're running like we are the underdogs in this race because we know as of tonight, there are only 64 days in this race significantly less in some states we're early voting begins in just two weeks. And the harris campaign has not taking anything for granted. President biden is about hold a string of events across a number of key states where he narrowly beat trump in 2020. As for the former president, his next major rally is not until saturday. Kayla tausche, she is traveling with vice president harris. She's outfront live in pittsburgh. Kayla, you just learned some new details about what went into this first joint campaign event. What are you hearing? well, brianna, that teams of vice president harris and president biden have long worked hand in glove for events like these, but i'm told that they worked incredibly close in touch. Well, they tried to craft remarks that were both coordinated and complimentary. And while vice president harris has been embracing a message of moving forward and not going back much of that rhetoric was absent from today's remarks as the two leaders really revisited their embrace of organized labor over the last four years. And in particular joe biden's embrace of organized as labor over his decades long political career with biden at times getting wistful about having this support of union leadership and members over the course of his long career they acknowledged that this is not a done deal going forward and there's still quite a bit of work to do with governor josh shapiro earlier at this event saying that people hear attending the event needed to talk to their colleagues. There cohorts, and they're unions to try to get them to make sure that they vote for vice president harris it's essentially acknowledging that many rankandfile members are undecided or have expressed a desire to vote for former president donald trump. But even so, president biden is expected acting this to be first of many of these types of events later, this week, he's going to be in michigan and wisconsin in those socalled blue wall states, talking up the investments that his administration has made in those states, even though his approval rating remains in a low 40s it is still he's still very popular among those white, older working class voters. And that's where he and the harris campaign's still feel that he can lend some support as for vice president harris, we've now learned from three sources that she's expecting affected to deliver a speech in new hampshire on wednesday, unveiling the next tranche of her economic proposals, which cnn has previously reported with center on innovation entrepreneurship, and trying to foster the creation of more small businesses. Brianna all right. Kayla tausche, live for us from pittsburgh. Thank you for that report outfront. Now, michael hardaway's former longtime aide to president obama and former communications director to congressman hakeem jeffries, also with us, we have new york times podcast host lulu garcia navarro and republican strategist shermichael singleton lulu to you first today, marking the first joint campaign event with harris and biden since he dropped out of the race and endorsed her. And it's in pennsylvania. How crucial is joe biden to harris is success there? i mean, i think it helps theirs this conversation that keeps happening, that somehow biden is a drag on her. She is his vice president she can't run away from that, so she might as well embrace it, where it matters and it matters in a place like pennsylvania and it matters with older white voters who have been traditional supporters of joe biden in pennsylvania. You know, he loves to call themselves scranton joe. This is exactly where he should be right now, lending a hand and what you saw there was you know, typical joe biden really speaking to what he has provided to unions talking about his real connection with union workers and, you know, she was the second act to that, but i think it was a useful performance by both of them in michael president biden today vowing that this is just the start of his campaigning for vice president harris. Let's listen lot of progress. And kamala going to build on that progress and she's going to build on i'll be on the sidelines, but i'll do everything i can to help so now he will head to michigan. He'll go to wisconsin this week as well. Does his assistance in these blue wall states outweigh any risks or limitations on her ability to sell a forwardlooking message and plotter on course it does because people love joe biden on a personal level he's incredibly good at connecting with people, especially working class people of all races, and helping them understand that he understands what they're dealing with. And if you look at his record, it very much is one that is prounion and pro working class specifically with the butch lewis act, which saved the pensions of over 100 million americans. I'm sorry over 1 million americans, 52,000. And those in pennsylvania. And so it matters that he's out there and it matters that he's fighting on her behalf because he does this incredibly good job of connecting with people in a real way. Shermichael, what do you think i mean, look, i don't know if it's necessarily a good thing. I mean, the president wasn't performing very well with the very constituents that he's expected to assist. The vice president with you talking about unions. I understand once a stalwart of the democratic party are now, we're seeing a lot of working class people migrate over to the republican party. That is, it's an interesting reshuffling if you will of voters where they once were to where there appear to be going today. But i think pennsylvania brianna is gonna be an incredibly important date for trump and harris. I would argue is a mustwin state. I think of harris can win it. She ultimately gets to 70, i think if trump wins it he ultimately gets to 270. It's it's the reason why you're seeing both candidates spend a lot of time there. They haven't surrogates there look at the massive amount of money and media buys their spending and also brianna, look at where they're putting their boots on the ground and pennsylvania what counties who are they trying to target? who are they trying to penetrate? one, do you want to overly excite your base? but for that small percent of people who may still be on offense there, you want to make that compelling argument? he met now until november of why you are better than your opponent. And so i expect to see a whole lot more come the next couple of weeks in pennsylvania by both camps trump, shermichael, i wonder though we see on the schedule president trump, he's holding a rally saturday in wisconsin. He's not out there on labor day, even as he's trying to court union workers. Is that a mistake so from my understanding, the former president is getting ready for the upcoming debate after the debate, his campaign trail is supposed to kick back up in terms of the number of places he's expected to visit along with j. D. Vance, you're also going to see more of j. D. Vance? and it's crisscrossing the country as well, hitting some of those crucial battleground states. And i think this is important, brianna oftentimes we hear from the trump campaign. He doesn't prepare, he doesn't prepare. Well, i think the former president is taking this debate very serious with vice president harris. This is not going to be joe bide. She's going to be able to articulate her that's the doing the issues we may differ, but this is going to be a much more competitive race in a competitive debate. He needs to spend that time being able to surgically argue why he's going to be the better alternative on the most consequential issues for the american people invest, take this very seriously, this upcoming debate, lulu. Yeah, one of the things that i thought was really interesting just watching her is that she was much more in this particular speech that she just gave a forceful than i've seen her before. The joy seems to be kind of being ratcheted down and the fight seems to be ratcheting up because this really is now the crucial moment where are you are actually battling vote by vote as for michael says, for these very tight margins in these very swingy, swing districts. And so just the tone there struck me as different than the one that i've seen from her before. Let's listen to a little bit of that. Here's more of harris at her rally like to move forward down. Trump is trying to pull us backward america has tried those failed policies before and we are not going back so michael i wonder about what you saw today, but also we should note the latest abc poll found no real bounce for harris after the dnc. Do you think that's a sign that enthusiasm and momentum may have maxed out on energizing democrats, on energizing the base. And now she's really got that hard sell for swing voters know, i feel the good news for her as she's still doing incredibly well and all the swing states that matter in the midwest, she's neck and neck with trump in pennsylvania. She's playing well in arizona and in georgia and even north carolina. And so overall, she is doing incredibly well, but she has to be out there in these battleground states every there's single week along with the president and making her case specifically in pennsylvania because that for her is a mustwin state. And i think she wins because she has a row record in terms of what this administration has done for working people in pennsylvania and across the country. But she has a cell that record lulu, i want to listen to a tim walz moment on the trail. Labor day, of course, it's the home stretch for the baseball season. We're on the custody cosper the nfl season two, and he gave a nod to both sports today when he was in wisconsin, let's listen we, respect differences. That's your opinion. Look, we're setting here together brewers in twins, fans, vikings impact look we respect it but on things like health care and what books i read and democracy, we all oh, live by that very simple golden rule. Mind your own damn business i'm curious, lulu, how you think walz compares as a kind of jovial midwestern messenger straightforward when stacked up against j. D. Vance, who do you think is more relatable? i mean, i think the polling shows that waltz is much more likable and relatable he has the dad vibes, right? and he gets the sports metaphors. You trust about whenever he can and this is the currency, the political currency that he brings to the ticket. I mean j. D vance has been out there. He has been i think a very loyal attack dog, for trump? i don't know how effective he's been because what we've seen is the more that he engages, the less people seem to like him. And so again it is troubling for the trump campaign that they do not have a waltz on their side. People or not connecting with j. D. Vance in the same way that they do with waltz, shermichael. What do you think we look i think j. D. Vance has showcased a real discipline as it pertains to sticking with the economy and immigration and making that case from the interviews i've seen, i certainly understand why democrats will say some of the comments that he's made it in the past that have resurfaced are colorful. The say least, i don't think there are many republicans who are too happy about it. But i want to just quickly tap on the question you asked michael about the momentum with vice president harris. If you remember a couple of weeks ago, the top pollster for the trump campaign released an internal memo that stated expect to see the vice president continue to have this incredible rise for maybe the next 28, 30 days, at least until labor day and sure enough, here we are right at labor day. We're sort of seeing the numbers flattened out, which is what i think a lot of democrats and even republican strategist have argued this thing is going to get incredibly close as we get closer to early voting as we get closer to november. So again, brown, i know a lot of people ask for who in the heck is left out there to decide this election? you do have those low propensity voters who may be registered, but they don't always engage. You're going to see both camps trying to target those voters with a message of something to try to get them the turnout. And i think that's the point of this race. And new voters new voters, there or new voters registering who have been, who have come in. And i think that is also going to be one of the crucial elements here. Lulu, michael shermichael. Thank you so much to all of you really appreciate it and outfront next, i'm going to speak to pittsburgh's mare. He was with vice president harris and president biden tonight what was his message to harris? as they're entering the final stretch here plus israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, defiant tonight signaling he won't cave on a key issue it could lead to a deal with hamas to free the hos
