A key state on his path to 270 electoral votes as new polling shows, Vice President harris the commanding lead among younger voters, but one that falls short of President Bidens 2020 performance. And boarding up and buckling down florida bracing before helene as the hurricane of soon to be creeping closer, bringing fierce winds are now a hurricane, i should say, it just switched and bringing Storm Surge as well as forecasters worry it could intensify quickly. We have a new update just one hour away and a new Suicide Pod reignites the debate over assisted suicide after woman takes her own life In The Woods in switzerland now four people are in custody are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here. Here to Cnn News central hello im brianna keilar, alongside jim acosta, whos in a great to have you, youre in for boris sanchez. Thanks for being here with us. And at any moment, former president in Donald Trump is expected to speak at a Campaign Stop in the critical Battleground State of North Carolina, a day after he outlined more of his economic plan in Georgia Including boosting us manufacturing, stopping companies from leaving the eu us and his plan to quote, take other countries jobs right now, Vice President Kamala Harris is on her way to another key Swing State pennsylvania, where were expecting a wide ranging economic speech from her in pittsburgh and cnns Alayna Treene is in Mint Hill, North Carolina. Alayna, you have new details about what former President Trump is expected to say thats right. We actually just got some of his prepared remarks. Obviously, he is going to be taking the podium up behind me shortly, but i want to point out what he says because theres actually some news whos the bits in this speech he talks about referencing the Un General Assembly in New York. This week talks about the leader of iran being in the u. S right now following the report and what doj had said was up potential Assassination Attempt by a ran on him. Im going to read for you what exactly he is supposed to say. Of course Donald Trump doesnt always stick to the script, but this is what they have in their prepared remarks. It says, quote, meanwhile, we have the president of iran in our country this week we have large Security Forces are guarding in and yet theyre threatening our former president and the leading candidate to become the next president. Certainly a strange set of circumstances it says the speech goes on to argue that Donald Trump saying that if i were president and a former president leading candidate to be the next president was under threat. I would inform them threatening country in this case, iran, that if they do anything to harm this person, were going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens so clearly very harsh rhetoric there toward iran. The speech also goes into detail about some of his Assassination Attempts, but hes really putting in pressure on around right now, which is in the u. S. For this Un General Assembly. And trying to argue that, look, if im president , again, i am going to come come after you very hard. We know that is something that Donald Trump often says that his campaign often says they actually just put out a recent Statement Arguing that they believe that Donald Trump would be very bad for iran, that iran does not want Donald Trump to win. So thats in line with what i think were about to hear in just a couple of moments and North Carolina became a lot more competitive here in the last week of lane after cnn revealed a series of past disturbing comments that the trump endorsed gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, made on a Porn Site years theres ago has that controversy changed . Trumps strategy . There im not sure if i would say that it is changed his strategy but it is definitely put his campaign on guard in this state. They recognize they have a small lead here. We saw that earlier this week in the New York times Sienna College Polling but its still a slim lead. And this is a state that has not voted for a democrat since 2008. They view North Carolina as essential to Donald Trump winning in fall in apologize, he is taking the podium behind me, so its very loud in here. But look when it comes to Mark Robinson and what im hearing from my sources on the Trump Campaign, they argue that even though Robert Clinton was not doing so great in his own governors raised the stakes are very high for Donald Trump. Again, they see the state as crucial and there are concerns that potentially the drama around him could drag the ticket down. Now, we are not going to see robinson here today in North Carolina, Donald Trump was also in the state on saturday. Robinson was not there either. I am told you will not you should not expect to hear any mention of robinson from Donald Trump today. But again, were all Keeping Notice of this because we really havent seen the former president addressed the Reporting Or Cnn reporting directly, nor a signal that who may withdraw his support of the lieutenant governor. Here, brianna boris alright alayna, thank you so much. Of course. She mentioned she just cant see it. She doesnt have returned there however, and i should mention we saw trump being introduce their we are going to be taking some of that here as it gets underway, joining us now to discuss is kate bedingfield, former biden White House Communications Director and ashley rich stevenson, former Polling Director for the giuliani president ial campaign. Shes also the president of Acts Advocacy so kate trump continues to pull better on the economy significantly than harris. And i think something that is also very interesting that you see in our new Cnn Poll is that even among those who say that trumps views and policies are too extreme, 15 say they trust him over harris to handle the economy. We see that trend more with him. How does she put a dent in something like that . Yeah, well, this is one of the biggest hills that she has to climb in this race. No question about it. And i think what she does is a lot of what weve seen her do, which is you know, she talks about the economy in very personal terms, talks about her own growing up. Shes communicating to voters that she understands what their lives are like. She also talks about the future. We dont really hear trump talk a lot about the future. You hear harris and youll, im sure hear her do this again this afternoon. You hear her layout a really forward looking plan to bring down costs particularly around Health Care around housing. You know, shes put concrete policies out there, but she talks about this in a way that i think is accessible and relatable to voters were as Donald Trump, somebody who comes from the wealthiest class and who whose signature economic accomplishment of his, of his previous term as president was major Tax Cut for billionaires and the wealthiest in this country. So there is a really good contrast there for Kamala Harris to draw. And she has to continue to draw it yeah. And ashley, i mean, one of the things that weve been hearing from Donald Trump for several days now, as hes been going on about the issue of immigration, hes going to be at this speech. He says in aurora, colorado in the next couple of weeks, and he keeps repeating this false claim that the city has been taken over by a venezuelan gang, which local officials there have refuted. Lets listen to this theyre now creating criminal havoc throughout the country. Aurora, colorado, you saw that with venezuela gangs are taking over Real Estate. Theyve become Real Estate developers. Oh, nice. Theyre going to take over a lot more than aurorae. Are they going to go through colorado, take over the whole damn state by the time they finished unless i become president yes. I mean, actually, its just plain false. He keeps saying this over and over again. Whats the point here . Not only does President Trump have a huge advantage on the economy, as we just talked about, hes also got an advantage on issues like National Security crime. This is an opportunity for him to go to a place and highlight his advantages on these issues that ultimately could be effective as he needs to turn out voters who care about immigration as a great example in the runup in the Big Seven states its a fantasy what hes talking about there. Look, hes got to draw contrast. Voters believe that President Trump is best suited to handle immigration, handled National Security, handle crime, and this is an opportunity we need really to hit on all three at a place that hes highlighted over and over again shes going to go to the border as we understand it this week what do you think are her opportunities and vulnerability . But hes in that visit huge vulnerability that she hasnt been to the border as the borders are. And i think that Vice President harris has done a really good job trying to separate herself from this administration. But she also has a real risk now a reminding voters that this was her responsibility, and she simply hasnt been there the last four years. Thats where the Trump Campaign really needs to come in and remind voters of that. And if they dont i think itll be a big mistake yeah. Kate, i mean, what are the challenges for Vice President harris on immigration one of the questions that i have is, should she be weighing in . More on what trump has been saying about Springfield And Aurora well, i think first of all, on her record in the White House, i mean you know, illegal crossings have dropped dramatically since the Executive Order that President Biden and Vice President harris put in place this month or excuse me, earlier this year. So she actually had as a good story to tell in terms of the effectiveness of some of the tougher line that she and President Biden have taken this year. So i dont think she has to completely abdicate this issue. Obviously, were going to want to paint her as having not been effective here, but there is substance there that allows her to push back you know, i so thinks she can be more aggressive in calling out trumps fearmongering this haitian Immigrant Lie that he and j. D. Vance have been telling is a good example. I mean, theyre talking about people who are in this contrarily, in this country, excuse me, legally theyre smearing them. Thats more of the ive divisive, hateful language that voters dont like about trump. They will, they do like some of what trump says about the need to be tougher on immigration. They dont like, especially moderate voters Swing Voters who are going to be determinative in this election. They dont like the hateful language. They dont like the sense of chaos that trump brings. So i do think that Vp Harris has an opportunity here to be aggressive about the fact that trump scuttled the bipartisan Immigration Bill that was going to tackle some of these issues. And instead of putting meaningful solutions on the table, hes using this kind of insightful language because we see that again, Swing Voters reject that alright, lets listen in to trump. Hes actually there speaking in Mint Hill North Carolina. Here he is in florida. Its all a big scam. Its all against a political opponent. Me, whos doing better in the polls . Anybody else . And should be hopefully able to recapture the presidency and 41 days and make our country great. Great again, but all they focus on their political opponent but they must get apple to open these foreign apps. And they must get apple to likewise opened the sixth phones from the second lunatic who is a lunatic . And open them immediately because we have a lot at stake. Whether its me or any other former president. They break into apps all the time. They had no problem breaking into the apps of the j six hostage stitches. They broke into those apps and they could be iranbased. They could also be something else but will never know until theyre opened and they got to get them opened and really why is it that the father of the shooter in the Butler Instance has one of the best and most expensive lawyers in the entire state of pennsylvania. How did he get to this expensive lawyer big, big Law Firm . The biggest in pittsburgh. Where did he get this . Big Law Firm from . Its fairly strange if i were president and a former president and a leading candidate, im the leading candidate by far to be the next president and leading candidate was under threat by was president and the candidate was under threat. Any Candidate Republican or democrat and by the way, i want to thank the democrats because they just increased funding for the Secret Service who worked very hard they increase funding for the secret Service And Nobody will believe this. It was a unanimous vote. Republicans, every single republican every single democrat, president , voted in favor. Thats the first unanimous Vote Weve seen in a long time. And thats to increase the funding of the Secret Service. So i think everybody in congress, but if i were the president , i would inform the threatening country in this case, saran, that if you do anything to harm this person, we are he going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens. Were going to blow it to smithereens. You cant do that and there would be no more threats there would be no more threats but right now, we dont have that leadership for the necessary people, the necessary very leaders. We have to people not one. We dont even know who our president is, right now, who is a precedent right now we really dont know, but we have to people not one that only keep looking and when you do that, when you just look trouble always ensues. So its big trouble for our country meanwhile, we have the president of iran in our country this week. We have large Security Forces guarding him and yet theyre threatening our former president and the leading candidate to become the next president of the united states. Certainly a strange set of circumstances around the world. Our enemies are desperate to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House because they know. And thats former president Donald Trump and Mint Hill, North Carolina has been commenting on the Assassination Attempt on his life. And at one moment, brianna, i mean, i think we do need to talk about this. He was commenting on some of these threats from iran that have been identified by intelligence officials in the us government that there iranian interests may be thinking about going after former President Trump. And trump said if something like that were to occur, cities in iran were would be blown to smithereens, i believe were the words he was using there. He did Go On to describe the way he characterizes things inside the White House right now, there are two president s right now, obviously that is not true. But obviously, were gonna be talking about these comments that hes making basically issuing a threat to iran. And he did. Thank the congress for allocating additional funds for the Secret Service does it looks for a Paradigm Shift as we know, ashley, you heard the president there. What did you think about what he said specifically about this threat to iran, where living in abnormal times swore in a moment where theres been not one but two reported Assassination Attempts against this president. One that got uncomfortable, close. And the reporting thats come out this week, even just this morning, about the mistakes and missteps that were made that allowed us to get to this point its incredibly unfortunate. Look, this is happening in real time. We know that President Trump, when hes out giving these speeches, always creates news from a political perspective. I think its probably probably a chance for him to try to remind americans of his strength, especially when it comes to adversity and dealing with some of our foreign adversaries thats the most i can make of it from a Politico Niccol Perspective in this moment i mean, what do you think of this bombastic rhetoric that trump is using . Theyre threatening to go to war with iran. I mean, we should note the last the two Assassination Attempts that have been in the news. Obviously, since this past summer were involving people that were not backed by the iranians we have no information to say that thats the case. We do have this new information thats coming im in from intelligence officials that iran may have some interest in taking a shot at Donald Trump. We dont know exactly how that might come to pass, but i mean, kate that is some pretty incendiary rhetoric right there being tossed out with less than six weeks until the election yeah. I mean, what hes saying there essentially means a hot war in The Middle East that the united states is involved in, is that what Donald Trumps saying . He wants us troops involved in a war ron, i dont think the american people want us troops involved in a war in iran. I mean, certainly what hes saying about potential threats to his life, he he is right. He has should have every expectation that the united states Secret Service and us government keep him safe, keep the president safe, keep any nominee for the presidency of a major party he safe. Hes absolutely right to have that expectation. Of course, he should but the idea that throwing out this language, were going to bomb tehran off the face of the earth is responsible, or would make the united states more secure, or would it make americans more secure . I think as ludicrous, so i agree he is trying to show strength here, obviously the political imperative is hes trying to draw this contrast between strength and his assessment of the Bidenharris Administration as weak. But what he is what he is casually tossing out there would mean a war for us, Men And Women In Uniform in the united states. And i dont think thats what the american people want and hes going out on the Campaign Trail saying that the united states needs to get out of what he considers to be wars in ukraine and in The Middle East. Although the united states is not involved in those wars, theyve been lending Military Support obviously. But this would be the opposite of that bombing targets in iran would obviously be the opposite of that and ultimately voters will have their say, well, not very long kate bedingfield.
