CNN The Lead With Jake Tapper September 19, 2024

Not commit his conviction was overturned, as we have covered, he joins me live in studio today. Hes going to explain how hes trying to make what happened to him does not happen to Anyone Else plus brandnew polls from a handful of states likely to decide the president ial election. What voters in these battlegrounds are saying about Vice President hello, harris and former president Donald Trump, and leading this hour, the clock is ticking and failure is almost guaranteed as dysfunction continues to rain on Capitol Hill, the House Of Representatives is getting ready to vote on what is said to be a doomed government Funding Bill. If and when this fails, House Speaker Mike Johnson is not revealing as of now what Plan B is that . Coming he has a Plan B. Republicans are aware of the timing and are warning about the repercussions of federal Government Closing for business just weeks ahead of the president ial election. Complicating all of this Donald Trump this afternoon putting out a social Media Post pressuring republicans to to shut down the government unless they can also get a controversial bill passed that targets noncitizen voting, which is of course already against the law. Cnns Manu Raju is on Capitol Hill and manu, the former president , is not making speaker Johnsons Job any easier, right now. No, hes absolutely not. In fact, putting johnson in a bit of a jam here. Johnson will have a choice to make once this bill fails tonight, which it is expected to fail, he can decide to go along with what Donald Trump was saying, which is to now pass any extension of Government Funding unless they get that immigration bill, which Democrats Say is dead on arrival, or he can agree with what democrats want to do, which is to extend Government Funding for three months. Dont include any of those other provisions and potentially endure Donald Trumps wrath in the process. What is clear though, is that in talking to republicans, there is a lot of concern both about what Speaker Johnsons tactics are and what Donald Trump is saying about a possible Government Shutdown, making clear this conference, once again divided over the issue of spending i get frustrated greatest country on the planet in the legislative body of the greatest country on the planet cannot do do something is fundamental as Finding Agreement on appropriations is the former president complicating this to me, it is counterintuitive to somebody in government to think about shutting the government down. Im disappointed way one 18th Congress has handled this entire session. Why is that . Because i think that we should have had more Policy Wins and we should have been a lot more. I think we understand that were one left i get stool in a fourlegged post that thats fine. Thats understandable. But i think the american people would rather see us bite and lose than not fight it all. Speaker Johnson Thats had a lot of time to do this. We werent here the entire month of august. We could have been here working. So hes got hes on his own to figure it out now Marjorie Taylor Greene and cory mills, there are two republicans, both indicating that they plan to vote against this Johnson Plan and we expect at least a dozen or so republicans to vote no Donald Trump is change the equation anyway, but that is not the expect spectators as democrats to are expected to vote enmasse against as johnson if its up on a Partyline Vote and everyone is voting can only afford to lose four republican votes. And jake, i asked the speaker directly earlier today, do you agree what would Donald Trump is saying that essentially they should be a Government Shutdown if there is no agreement on this immigration bill. And he didnt exactly say he simply said that he was in maralago this weekend. He has spoken to Donald Trump about this issue and he said that they both are fighting to deal with these antiimmigration measures, but did not indicate what Plan B, as well see what he decides to reveal his hand, jake, if and when this fails so fails. And a matter of hours. Alright, cnns Manu Raju on Capitol Hill. Thanks so much. Donald trump just made a previously unannounced Campaign Stop in new York City and cnns Alayna Treene, who covers the Trump Campaign for us, joins us now from Union Deal on new yorks long island, where trump is going to hold a rally in about two hours Donald Trump touched on several topics because now give us an update i think most notably of all, he reacted to that decision by the teamsters Theres Union not to endorse this cycle. Remember, the teamsters have endorsed a democratic president ial nominee in every single election. Going back to 1996. So this is a huge deal and Donald Trump noted that today when talking to reporters, take a listen to what he said. Its a great honour theyre not going to endorse the democrats. Thats a big thing. And this is the first time and i guess 50, 60 years its democrats, you automatically have the teamsters one of our colleagues, kates all been also ask the former president about some of the comments that arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee have you standards made last night during that speech in flint, michigan where Donald Trump was yesterday, where she had really attacked and kind of seemed to go after Kamala Harris saying that, how can she be humble for not having children, remarks that received a lot of criticism. Donald trump dismissed it. He dodged the question, said that he didnt really know anything about it. Keep that in mind, a lot of people have been looking for answers on whether republicans agree with the comments she made. And just to give you a very briefly, because were in new york and that off the record stops or excuse me, that previously undisclosed stop was in new York City. It is very interesting that Donald Trump would just 40 days now until Election Day is choosing to rally eliana, new york. I talked to a number of Donald Trumps advisors about this and wild acknowledge it is not a battleground. They say, the real reason Donald Trump is here is because this visit is steeped in nostalgia. Donald trump has long wanted to hold a largescale rally like this in a new york, particularly in a large arena months ago, there had been gazans about maybe doing Something And Nauta skin square garden, the logistics of course, which were unfeasible. So hes doing something here today. But at the same time, you know, Donald Trump south is insisting that he thinks hell be able to win new york. Of course, most republicans recognise thats just very unlikely and that democrats are expected to secure it again come a couple all right, Alayna Treene in uniondale, new york with the Trump Campaign. Thanks so much joining us now to discuss democratic congresswoman from virginia, abigail spanberger. Shes currently running to be governor of the commonwealth of virginia congresswoman. Thanks so much. Being here. I want to get your reactions to the comments we just heard from Trump Trump at the top of the hour here at well, i think it should be a pretty straightforward thing for someone running for president to be able to speak out against the comments that we heard from governor it could be sanders and the personal attacks of this manner on Vice President harris lets talk about this legislation what is the problem democrats have with the Spending Bill . And specifically with this part of the bill that deals with undocumented immigrants, shouldnt be you allowed to vote. I mean, on its face, an american might hear that and think whats the Big Deal American . They Cant Vote and they shouldnt vote. And so who cares . Yeah, absolutely. It is already illegal for someone who is not a us citizen to vote in federal elections. And so if this were merely an effort to restate what is already the law i think you would have broad broad support across those the republican conference and the democratic caucus. But this bill does more than that. It puts forth real hurdles that in fact would create challenges for service members, veterans, women who may change their name and marriage, and then moves states. The way that one would go about proving Ones Identity as outlined in this bill is just its untenable in terms of how this bill is constructed. Certainly an effort to affirm that it is the united states is congresss intent that us Citizens Vote in our elections, i think is one that would be broadly supported, but thats not what the ceo back does. And thats why we see across the board. So much opposition to it. So democrats are going to vote against it because of that provision. Do you have any idea and then it will probably go down. We already know that Speaker Johnson can only afford to lose. I think like two or three republicans and already there is a dozen or so that are going to vote against this so this Spending Bill, it looks like its going to fail. Has he outlined how Speaker Johnson in any way, even privately, what comes next . Whats Plan B to keep the government going . Well, will notably, and i say this if virginia and in virginia is the most impacted state in times of government shuts down so many federal employees and contractors and Small Business owners all all of whom are impacted when theres not just a shutdown, but even a talk of a shutdown. And another Sticking Point with this proposal from the speaker is the six month timeframe frankly speaking a continuing resolution, perhaps through the remainder of this congress would make sense. But the idea that we would kick the can of funding the federal government permanent for the next fiscal year. I mean, almost through into more than halfway through that fiscal year is its just poor planning, it negatively impacts certainly our military or national defence. And the very function of our government if Democrats Vote against this bill, this first vote with the noncitizen voting provision. As democrats i think are all going to do or most going to do, who knows what golden is going to do and remain but with a few, a handful of exceptions do you own any of the Government Shutdown . Democrats so i think the clear answer on this is this is not even a serious effort when you have chairman of committees. So republican members of the House Of Representatives chairing important committee is saying this bill is not a good faith effort. This bill is not how we fund the government. I think it is a note to everyone. Theres bipartisan disagreement and taking this tact we should be funding the government. I mean, frankly, we should have done appropriations, bills over the summer and we should in the absence of having been able to fulfil that requirement of us we have to have the speaker bring forth a bill. The Bottom Line is if he came jeffries as minority leader, had the ability to bring a Funding Bill and continuing solution forward. He would have done it last week and avoided the will they or wont they . But time and time again with this republican majority, we see the Brinksmanship And Failure seems to be a requirement before at the last minute, the speaker, whether its Speaker Johnson or former speaker mccarthy, does what is demanded of him and the role of the speaker. So my hope is that between the senate and the house, we will within the next week pass a continuing Resolution And Senate over the President S desk, you sit On The House Select Committee On Intelligence what do you make of the string of deadly explosions in Lebanon Targeting members of the Group Hezbollah Israel behind them, do you worry that this could inflame matters further . Whats your take . Well, i think its its its interesting in that its bringing great clarity to the fact that the challenges that israel faces with hezbollah to its north it has been ongoing because well, it continues to fire rockets into israel and so now recognising this coordinated effort to go after hezbollah terrorists clearly, i think highlights the challenges that the israeli people and the israeli government do face. And certainly theres a lot more information i presume that will come out in the coming days related to how these attacks occurred. And what might be hezbollah response. But i think its its important than everyone knows that hezbollah has been perpetrating attacks on israel rockets fired into israel and so many israelis not even able to live in their homes in the northern portion of the country because of ongoing offensive efforts emanating from this terrorist threat. All right, congresswoman abigail spanberger, democrat of virginia. Good to see you. Thanks so much for being here. Appreciate it. Donald trump calls out people.

Whatever you want to call them so well let the Secret Service determined that if they think things are safe, you do it like coming to a place like this just dont want them dictating to to weigh. You should go and what do you feel coming i want to bring back the panel and mckell, im sympathetic to what the President S going through here to Assassination Attempts played at the same time. You dont want to proverbial. Let the proverbial terrorists, when and yet the Secret Service, if they had their way with any candidate, says keep him in the basement forever whats your reaction . You have to have a really strong pushback of the Secret Service. We have a very long history on a bipartisan basis of making sure that president ial candidates get to pick their Secret Service director, even when there have been significant investigations into really egregious behaviour and that is how it should be. But we need better behaviour from Secret Service. We need better attention to detail. And at the same time they have to allow President S to move on president ial candidates to move. So there really in a tough spot, but i think they need to step up by a si
