How the postlabor day sprint, the white house got off to a start and breaking news that a top trump volunteer was his barred from the campaign for saying a key battleground state is no longer a battleground state also tonight, why the entire race could end up like this, tied at 269 electoral votes at peace.

Thanks for joining us. We begin tonight with breaking news. The trump campaign tonight flatly denying report that it's effectively writing off the state of new hampshire word came in an email from a top campaign volunteer. Now, a former top volunteer in it, tom mountain writes that the campaign has quote determined that new hampshire jurors no longer a battleground state. He went on to say, this means the campaign is suspending all resources, staffers, supplies, speakers, et cetera, to new hampshire. A trump campaign spokesperson tells cnn what he said is not true. We'll have more on this shortly. It's happening 63 days until the election and just seven days until the first and so far only debate the two sides have actually agreed to, which takes place in philadelphia. And in a sign of how much pennsylvania matters this time cnn has learned the vice president harris will be preparing for that debate in pittsburgh, arriving on thursday and staying five days there until tuesday before traveling to philadelphia for the event itself she was just in pittsburgh yesterday, reminding voters that ballot start going out in two weeks. And saying this when some of the crowd started yelling that the former president was going to jail handled that november let the court on that note, two major legal developments for the former president, his lawyers in a court filing late today signaled the he'll be pleading not guilty to the revise election interference indictment that special counsel jack smith has secured last week and a federal district judge also late today, denied the former president's request to move his hush money case, which ended in 34 felony convictions to federal court. The judge finding there is nothing in the supreme court's presidential immunity ruling that altered his view that the payments were private on official acts mr. Trump is also focused heavily on pennsylvania. He'll be there for a televised town hall tomorrow with fox's sean hannity, who aired a conversation with him today on his radio show. In it, he talked again about his trip to arlington national cemetery last week with the parents of troops killed in the pullout from afghanistan. During the visit, which he made into a campaign video, the army let me say as his people were made aware of federal laws against that, and that the cemetery worker who reminded them was quote abruptly pushed aside. Here's what the former president said about it today to sean hannity. Everything was good and i laughed. And we said goodbye to everybody. I always love love. It was no conflict. There was no fight. It was no anything. And i get home that night and i get a call that from one of the people that's is press sir. There's a story that your people got into a tremendous fight with people representing the december. It was totally false i get enough publicity, but i'd like to get less publicity. But. To be clear, the former president was there at the request of family members. And as he's mentioned many times, some are upset and the biden administration both for how the afghan pullout was handled and how they personally were treated by the white house in the wake of at all, none of that changes the fact that donald trump is saying that the united states army is lying, or that he has a long record of bad mouthing, serving and retired retired officers. Some of whom he referred to inaccurately as my generals and others according to one of those generals, former chief of staff john kelly as suckers and losers. Now some of whom like the late senator john mccain, endured years of torture. And in north me, it's prison even turning down his captors offered to release him early because his father was a navy admiral well, at the time hidden being a war hero, moore, he's a war half years, he's the war here because he was captured i like people that weren't captured. Okay. I hate to tell you today on the lead, cnn's jake tapper spoke john mccain son jim, who's a veteran of iraq and afghanistan and calls would happen to a violation there's three generations of mccain's that are varied. There it's a violation because these rules are set in place. The people who are buried there don't have an opinion where the point of arlington cemetery is to go and show respect for the men and women who have given their lives for this country. When you make it political, you take away the respect act of the people who are there john mccain recently became registered democrat and now says he's voting for kamala harris, joining us now cnn political commentators, david urban, kate bedingfield, also, zolan kanno youngs, cnn political analyst and white house correspondent for the new york times so david, what do you make of this idea that new hampshire may no longer be in play for the trump campaign. That campaign saying is not true, multiple republican operatives in the state told cnn that this volunteers assessment is accurate i andrew said, i know better than the second guess. Anybody what's going on in a state other than pennsylvania my my my world is solely focused on the commonwealth of pennsylvania. And if the campaign says new hampshire's in play, i believe it's in play kate, how aggressive you think the harris campaign should be in new hampshire well, look, i think ultimately new hampshire is a state that is going to come home and vote blue. I think. But, you i think what we're seeing here is a reflection of the fact that the trump, the map for trump, the path for trump have dramatically shrunk since kamala harris went to the top of the ticket now that does not mean that kamala harris has the election in the bag. That doesn't mean i'm even saying she has new hampshire in the bag, but it is demonstrably true as you look at where the campaigns are spending, you see that harris clearly has potential path through the rust belt and also through the sunbelt. Trump. It's looking less like lessons like he has fewer and fewer options so i think for the campaign for the keras campaign, that's an opportunity to be on offense as an opportunity to force the trump campaign to spend in places where they might not otherwise want to spend places like north carolina where the trump campaign is being forced to ramp up their spending because they're seeing harris making moves there. So i think what harris campaign is doing overall is putting in place an aggressive strategy to try to put the trump campaign on the defensive in some of these states that, you know, just six weeks ago, they felt really confident they were going to be able to win. Does it surprise you that the former president is still talking about what happened at arlington picking up essentially but picking a fight with the army now, i mean, is that going to win him new voters i guess there's two questions. There doesn't surprise me not necessarily. Right. I mean, this is sort of groundhog day and in a sense, we often hear from republican strategists, allies of the former president, that they want the trump camp campaign and the former president to focus his messaging on the political vulnerabilities of the biden administration. Whether that be the economy, whether that be immigration or even in this case with this visit the withdrawal from afghanistan. And often they, that discipline is not there. The focus on that messaging does not stay, but you see it devolve into personal attacks or distractions at which seemed to occur with this case. Look, the fact is this statement that he made on sean hannity, does undermine the initial statements that his campaign made in the wake of this evidently clash with this official in arlington cemetery, right after that event, his campaign said that they were going to release footage sowing the physical blocking here, criticized that employee at the national cemetery that that doesn't align with the comments that we heard from that clip release from hannity today? yeah. I mean, they said the person who is mentally unstable bull david, i mean, does it make sense to you that he was still be out there talking about this? i mean, is there something that he gets out of it look, anderson, here's what i the only thing to echo what zolan said. You know, what i find amazing is that we're talking about this kind of shuffled backandforth between staffers rather than the issue the larger issue of how these young men and women got killed or why they got killed in the first place? the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan, the fact that the current vice president united states kamala harris, has been asked for threeandahalf years to meet with these family members by the family members themselves, and that she's denied to meet with them. And so the fact that david that's not what you'll be just not that's not what your candidate is talking. That's not what donald trump is talking about. I mean, he's he's talking, he's he's talking about the campaign video that was put out claiming that he doesn't want published today when clearly they did want to get this this, this thing out there well, you know, anderson, the families asked i've watched the videos now, the families asked for the cameras to be there so they can memorialize this. I understand that ant that arlington does have a policy the army does have a policy, and kate an eye and anderson, you've seen not presidential when the president's walking, their people 30 yards in front of of the president and behind the president. I am sure that what he said is true. He did not see any of this he probably wasn't aware that there was a there was a shuffle if there was one that took place, he came and went without notice. I'm certain of it, and i'm sure the family members didn't know either. And yet kate, i mean, they did put out a campaign video of it with it's not just pictures and it was texts on top of it you now have the activity son of late republican senator john mccain speaking out against the former president's actions at arlington, endorsing harris mean, do you think that endorsement like that kate actually has any impact on independent voters? well, i think what it does is remind people of the long history that donald trump has of demeaning people who served obviously very personally, as we heard in the soundbite, the top of the show demeaning his father in a really brutal way after he served as a prisoner of war on behalf of this country in uniform. So i think what it does is it reminds people that donald trump is an unpalatable option. It reminds independent voters, you know, i don't like the way this man speaks of people who have both given the ultimate sacrifice for this country and also made the sacrifice of putting on the uniform employing, serving americans are proud of their military and their proud of veterans. And the idea that we're going to reelect a president who says these kinds of things. I think that is a really offputting thing for independent voters. I think what john mccain son did today was quite brave and courageous. And yes, i do think it matters because it helps paint a picture of somebody that most americans would say. That's not the way i want somebody who's serving in the oval office to talk about people who served his country in uniform. Zolan, the former present, released a new video today, seeking to tie vice president harris to president joe biden's record in the white house do you think how much do you think president biden is actually going to be used by the harris campaign, moving forward we're about to see a good sort of sample size of that this week the president is scheduled to travel for some of the visits, not necessarily next to the vice president, but he he's hitting the campaign trail. He's getting back there and, you know, there's, there's an interesting balance that we'll be watching here when it comes to policy. And vice president harris's policy platform right? she does represent incumbency. She was part of this white house and we have not seen much evidence that she's going to break obviously from the president now she served with however you are starting to see some differences in tone. And let's be honest in a campaign tone matters. An emphasis on trying to lower consumer prices, which has been a concern for voters consistently in the past couple of years an emphasis not so much just on talking about ivf growth and manufacturing, but to address the cost of living that americans are feeling that stuff that i would hear from sort of even allies of the white house democratic groups that they wanted messaging to focus on that housing costs as well. So i'm i'm curious to see though how much of this has exclusively even a slight change in tone, but still the same policy platform or will we actually see breaks thus far? i don't think we are seeing matt because once again, for as much as some some are framing the vice president does a change candidate. And i understand that in some ways, this is also somebody that's been a part of the white house the past three years. So it'll be interesting to see that balance, david, you talked on this program about things you have said to the foreman president about policy and sticking to policy? last week. He retweeted he reposted vulgar post, home errands,<\/a> saw really incredible to think about how many years, again, in new york, think about the new york stock <\/a>exchange <\/a>in new york city.<\/a> Thanks so much to all of you for joining us ac360 starts now tonight on 360, the race is now a race.

And i understand that in some ways, this is also somebody that's been a part of the white house <\/a>the past three years. So it'll be interesting to see that balance, david, you talked on this program about things you have said to the foreman president <\/a>about policy and sticking <\/a>to policy? last week. He retweeted he reposted vulgar post, truth social post <\/a>about vice president <\/a>harris and hillary clinton talked about a sex act.<\/a> It was incredibly demeaning for women who has massage journalistic and all sorts of things this is how we addressed that poll post <\/a>on a podcast today.<\/a> Let's listen i do a lot of reposting the ones you get in trouble with, the reposts because you find down deep there in some group that you're not supposed to be reposting. You don't even know if there's groups are good, bad, or indifferent so i mean, he's literally said this before about it's just a repost, it's i didn't post it. It's a repost and yet he continues to do it even though acknowledges he has no idea who these people are and he didn't address the incredibly demeaning text of this you don't have to dig deep to see how offensive and massage anesthetic <\/a>it is anderson. I'm going to i'm hopeful that he's going to start reposted some of my tweets where i talk about the issues right? about fracking. I don't think he's going to do that me david <\/a>do it unless i'm going to i'm going to ask him because i think let's i'm going to ask him to repost his olon. I like what zolan was saying, you know, kamala harris <\/a>has tried to her run as a change candidate, but she can't run as a change candidate <\/a>because he's trying to change from the administration that she's a part of. So i'm going to set them some zolan's tweets and asked him to retreat some of those, right? i think he's spot on.<\/a> Listen. Whether joe biden is going to campaign with kamala harris <\/a>is something we're enough to wait and see because i just heard james carville <\/a>a little bit earlier today saying his it's advices. Saw joe biden off, cut them away, float free, be a part of this. You cannot, if you're tied to joe biden, she's going to sink like an anchor. He's going to be like an anchor around her because the biden\/harris administration is incredibly unpopular. And so her only shot is to change into run as an independent candidate. So i'm going to hope donald trump <\/a>will we tweet my tweets and zone? lance, not kate. All right. Well, we'll see how it works. I can tomorrow we have to take a short break coming up next.

Sanjay gupta in atlanta <\/a>this is cnn given all the focus on pennsylvania <\/a>by candidates campaign reporters,<\/a> and certainly our panel members tonight,<\/a> there's also the possibility that the road to the white house <\/a>runs through deep red nebraska.<\/a> That's because nebraska divides up its electoral votes between his deepred areas and one that's not only up for grabs abs,<\/a> but could also break and potential electoral college tie.<\/a> Cnn's jeff zeleny explains these blue dots <\/a>are popping up on lawns across omaha, signs of a campaign. We're not only every vote counts,<\/a> but we're every electoral vote is critical be debated backandforth, and we went for said, well, i think history is kinda cool and it turned out to be a huge win earning conversation. Saclay, we had no idea that conversation. Then that's the important part because as soon as you start the conversation, you'd have a full conversation. Ruth hybe nar brown <\/a>and her husband, jason, are suddenly having more conversations about the blue dot symbolizing <\/a>a democratic island in a sea of nebraska red,<\/a> and the state's unique way of dividing electoral votes with plausible that we could have a tie. And a whole notion of oh, my vote doesn't matter. It's really tossed out the window because this could be it. This could be the deciding factor for all of the pathways for kamala harris <\/a>and donald trump to reach the white house. The race for 270 electoral votes could come down to nebraska's sprawling second district.<\/a> And here's why if harris carries the three blue wall battleground <\/a>states and trump wins the swing states <\/a>across the sun belt.<\/a> A single electoral vote surrounding omaha could keep the race from becoming a two 69 to 69 tie, decided by the house of representatives.<\/a> Well, how alone nebraska, a not so secret weapon for democrats could be tim walz,<\/a> who was born and raised here before moving to states away to minnesota tony vargas <\/a>believes the harriswalz ticket <\/a>will also help democrats win control of congress. Starting with his race here, which is among the country's most competitive suburban. We have rural, we have urban, we have all different walks of life, all different races, ethnicities, socioeconomic but really this is a truly independent place, republican congressman don bacon <\/a>has thrived and survived politically because of that independent streak of the district trump <\/a>won here in 2016, but lost in 2020. Bacon said trump runs the risk of losing again if he doesn't focus on inflation and immigration, when you talk about dei, race make coming up with nicknames that doesn't play well in this district. They weren't talking with the issues. This is an issue district <\/a>for months. Trump and his allies have sought to change. Nebraska is election law <\/a>and award all electoral votes to the statewide winner rather than by congressional district.<\/a> A process shared only by maine, get better okay. Get me on the hod you understand that for now, republicans are working to defeat harris here in a district that extends through omaha, western suburbs <\/a>to rural towns like wow, who were steven, sonya, pete's are ready for change. I would like just to see him some hope. I don't see it now which of those candidates do think gets the closest to bring in new hope? i would say trump. Absolutely trump. I have a feeling that he has a person who sticks to his word. He means what he says they question what harris stands for and are not sold on walz no matter where he grew up back in the dundee neighborhood <\/a>of omaha, the blue dots <\/a>are in such high demand. Jason brown <\/a>ran out of spray paint orders <\/a>are stacking up. He said, and not only from democrats, but from independent who may decide the election doesn't mean, oh, my god, i become a democrat. Know you're voting for what you feel is right for the future so in short the blue wall needs the blue dot right <\/a>here in omaha. That's how the math works out. Of course both sides, the harris campaign <\/a>and the trump campaign have many paths to victory. But for all the talk about pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin those are the most likely paths. But again, that is one vote short of the 270 needed. That's why so much money, time and attention is being spent right here in nebraska on that blue. In or to nine weeks from tonight on election night,<\/a> if our eyes are on nebraska will know this race it is incredibly still tight. Incredible. Jeff zeleny. Thank you. John king <\/a>has a closer look at this, john, how could the election play out in nebraska incredible <\/a>is the right word, mythical is another word that gets used. Just look, let's put up anderson.<\/a> We have some technical issues here so i can't do this with my hands tonight.<\/a> But if you look at the map right there, that's what jeff was just talking about. If kamala harris <\/a>since the blue wall states,<\/a> michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin wins all the other states that we view as likely are solid democrat donald trump <\/a>wins the sunbelt states in that scenario, you see georgia, you see arizona, and you see even nevada, right? then if nebraska is all read, you see that little widen the top corner there. That's that congressional district, nebraska two, if donald trump won that and the mapplayer i thought you're a 269, 269. It gets thrown to the house of representatives.<\/a> We talk about this every four years. We've never had to deal with it, but in a close race like this, it's one of those possibilities. Do you have to study for and it's why jeff zeleny gets a free stake in omaha. We talked about the reporting earlier about the trump campaign in new hampshire. How much does new hampshire <\/a>matter? well, new hampshire <\/a>matters less now back remember, after the debate, the trump campaign thought a lot more states. We're going to be in play of joe biden. State is the candidate. And so they were looking at making a run at new hampshire. They were looking at make a run at virginia.<\/a> They thought new mexico <\/a>might be in play. Democrats were saying even colorado might come back into play. It was the oh, my god moment <\/a>for the democrats but the truth is, this volunteer got told you no longer welcome for speaking the truth because he told the truth. He's no longer welcome in the trump campaign because they're not spending any money on television there. Yes, donald trump does have a hardcore group <\/a>of supporters in new hampshire <\/a>who worked very hard and they are very passionate, but new hampshire <\/a>has trended away. Hillary clinton <\/a>won it narrowly. Biden won it by more. Here's, here's how you can tell it's donald trump spending any money in the boston tv <\/a>markets to influence new hampshire? the answer is no. We'll see if he does. I doubt it so the elections now, nine weeks away, what do you personally watching for? nine weeks away from tonight, we count votes you ready? get your espresso machines <\/a>ready. Everybody so let's look at some different dynamics. One is where is harris? today compared to biden? let's look at the gender gap.<\/a> Let's look among women voters.<\/a> Female voters look right there. Harris, with a 13 point advantage <\/a>over trump right now, that's one poll the abc ipsos poll. Last week, look at 20:20. That's joe biden on the ballot. He had a slightly bigger advantage if you're in the harris campaign, you want to get to where that biden number <\/a>was. If you look to where harris is right now she's exactly the same as hillary clinton was. Hillary clinton <\/a>won the popular vote <\/a>but lost in the electoral college.<\/a> So if you're kamala harris, you're looking at that number, you're saying you've made improvement, but you want to get to where biden was in 2020. So that is a source of she's ahead, but she needs more there. And let's flip it now and look at male voters. This is where she's actually in a somewhat better shape. If you look at the numbers among male voters where she's at 46% again, just one poll. So don't overinvest in this, but that's pretty close. A fivepoint split trump <\/a>advantage among men. Look at biden in 2020 and look at hillary clinton even worse in 2016. So on gender issues, harris is in good shape. She'd liked to be in stronger shape with female voters and john king appreciate it, thanks very much.
