Were following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to Cnn News central Bulls Eye Today for the two president ial campaigns. And in the coming hours, were going to see an unlikely pair come together. Vice president Kamala Harris and former house Republican Liz Cheney Side By side in Battleground Wisconsin and the location carries added significance. Theyre going to be appearing together at a schoolhouse known as the birthplace of the republican party. Meantime, in about two hours, Donald Trump will speak to voters in the key state of michigan. Its the first time were seeing him on the Campaign Trail since stunning new details dropped, and special Counsel Jack Smiths Election Interference case against him. Lets take you now live to michigan with cnns Elena Treene. Elena, what can we expect from this event with Donald Trump well, boris, when i talked to Donald Trumps advisers about todays event, they argue its a traditional political rally for Donald Trump in a crucial Swing State that youre likely to see him visit at least every week if not more, between now and election day. But to your point i do think you can expect Donald Trump to talk about these two major storylines. One, of course, the sweeping new details that Jack Smith released yesterday. But also Liz Cheney appearing with Kamala Harris later today. I can tell you that these are both at the forefront of Donald Trumps mind. So i think its likely he will address them on stage. I do want to talk about the smith brief first, because, as you said these new details are sweeping about his role in the january six, 2021 Capitol Attack and theres a few ways i know that the Trump Campaign is viewing this. One is that given we are so close to election day, they think it only bolsters their argument that Jack Smith specifically, but also the justice department, are trying to interfere in the election, a claim we have heard them made repeatedly. Of course, no evidence that that is true, but that is something theyre arguing that maybe will resonate with voters and theyll see this as such. However, they also recognize that the key voters that they are targeting, unlike before in his past indictments, when you did see Donald Trump enjoy somewhat of a boost among his core base, now theyre really targeting more independent leaning and moderate leaning conservatives, and they act differently than Donald Trumps base. So theres questions about how this could resonate with those crucial voters. And then the other part of this, of course, is that they recognize, given we are only 33 days away from november 5th, a lot of people in this country are maybe only starting to tune in now, and they may be learning of these details for the first time. Despite a lot of this being uncovered over the last two years. So thats also i think, a point of concern for the Trump Campaign. As for Liz Cheney, look, i mean, she has always been ripe for Donald Trumps attack. She has always been in his line of fire. And i actually shes not only endorsed Kamala Harris, but that shes actually going to go to wisconsin and appear alongside her to campaign for her is definitely bothering Donald Trump. Now. I did ask the Trump Campaign about this. This is what a Trump Campaign spokesperson caroline leavitt, told me. She pointed me to an august 20th, 20 tweet that cheney had previously posted that read quote, Kamala Harris has a more liberal Voting Record than Bernie Sanders and elizabeth warren. Her radical leftist views raising taxes and banning gun sales, Taxpayer Money for abortion and illegal immigrant Health Care. Um, it goes on to say, would be devastating for america. So this is clearly how the Trump Campaign is trying to frame this, that cheney once attacked harriss positions, and now shes moving away from them again, though i do think its very likely Donald Trump will bring these up. We know that these are the type of attacks that he just cannot resist so i do anticipate youll hear about this. And i think this is in line with exactly the type of rhetoric you can expect from him. Yeah, we are expecting to hear from him roughly at 3 p. M. We will, of course monitor those remarks. Alayna treene, thank you so much, brianna. When former congresswoman Liz Cheney joins Vice President harris on the Campaign Trail Today Shell be fulfilling her vow to campaign against former president trump, something that will likely see throughout this election cycle. In the meantime, harris is racking up more endorsements from some other high profile republicans. Former trump white House Aide Cassidy hutchinson says she would never in her Life Vote for trump again, and rudy Giulianis Daughter also recently revealed that she is breaking with her father and throwing her weight behind harris. Cnns Eva Mccann is following the Harris Campaign in wisconsin. Eva, talk to us a little bit about the significance of this Event Today with cheney ripon, wisconsin, a beautiful part of the state here and it is known as the birthplace of the republican party. And it is here that the Vice President will directly appeal to independent voters to republican voters as well. The message is quite clear that a Harris Administration would be principally concerned with the rule of law, upholding the constitution democracy, and it is those fundamentals that are most important, even if these republican and independent voters disagree with her on a host of other policy matters, shell be bolstered in part by former congresswoman Liz Cheney. They will be standing before signs that say country over party. So she is a key ambassador for the harris Walls Campaign in making this argument. The campaign also investing in this argument as well. Theyre up with a new ad featuring a voter that supported the former president in 2016 and in 2020. Lets listen. Look i voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. I thought he was going to help hard working people, but it turns out hes all about himself. Trump cares for his cronies, people that are very wealthy. He will not lower my taxes republican and independent voters will not only here in wisconsin, but in other crucial battleground states, as well. This is part of a larger strategy of the campaign over the next four days, they are going to have a republican surrogate presence in all of the battleground states. But listen, some democrats that i speak to, theyre not so crazy about this strategy. They believe that the campaign should instead be investing in the base of the party and not be trying so hard to court republican voters. But wisconsin democrats, they tell me that they like the strategy that in a state thats like 5050, like this one, this is actually a strategy that they employ cycle after cycle not only during president ial years. They are depending on democrats in republican counties like this one, to be in constant conversation with their neighbors, to persuade them brianna. All right. Eva mccann thank you so much for that report also, some interesting tension that youre highlighting there. So lets turn now to our panel, Cnn Political Commentator and former Communications Director for Vice President Harris Jamal simmons. And also with us here in studio republican strategist for axiom strategies, erin perrine. Jamal, i wonder what you think about that. There is some tension over this strategy. Yesterday we had Congresswoman Debbie Dingell on the program, and she was saying that harris needs to be getting into union halls. She needs to be talking to, i mean, really white male union voters. Is this the right play being out spending this precious little time campaigning with Liz Cheney . Does this attract people that she doesnt already have in the persuasion taking place right now is the persuasion to get people to show up who might already agree with you. So heres why this January 6th report is important. Its not so much that people need to go back through the details. I think most americans probably generally think that trump had something to do with it. The question now is for those folks who believe that, who probably dont want to vote for him, youve got to convince them to show up and vote for Kamala Harris at the same time, youve got to convince these voters who are inside many of the communities inside of the cities, like detroit and atlanta, africanamericans, latinos young people to show up and vote also, theyve got to participate there are very, very, very few people who are going to still change their minds. Right now. This is about the Voting Booth or the couch. Erin Liz Cheney was one of the top three republicans in the house. Not that long ago. How significant is it . A loss for the Trump Campaign for the party at large, to have her now endorsing a democrat . Shes been out against Donald Trump for a while now. So this Isnt Anything new to any Voting Sect but its an interesting move to be doing it in wisconsin not only because ripon is the home of the republican party, but this is properly a state as it can get right. 2010 it elected senator ron johnson. In 2012, it went for Barack Obama and elected tammy baldwin. So this was a state where you actually saw Nikki Haley make a lot of overtures to the independent voters, because it is an open primary state. This is a state where at that Point Anybody could vote. So this is a state where democrats do make overtures to republicans and republicans go after democrats because the margins are so tight. So if there were any of those independent voters who maybe were still on the fence about even participating at this point maybe they did consider a Nikki Haley in the primary, having someone like a Liz Cheney in the state with kamala could be a persuadable argument for that small sect. And with an election this close, every margin counts. I want to listen to a campaign ad, an economy focused ad, the economy, of course, Donald Trump does much better than harris in the polls on. But this features a two time Trump Voter on why hes now turning to harris. Here it is look, i voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. I thought he was going to help hard working people, but it turns out hes all about himself trumps economic plans only benefit billionaires and huge corporations, Middle Class working families. We will foot the bill. Kamala harris will make the wealthy pay their fair share. Shes tough. She knows the Middle Class built this country. Shes looking out for us so weve seen a lot of that. It turns out but what matters more a Liz Cheney or a bob . Well, its going to be a bob. But its going to be a bob. Bob at your door. Right . Its going to be a bob having a conversation with you, a voter, a friend, a neighbor, a Family Member whos saying, heres why ive changed my vote or heres why im voting that way. Thats why Ground Game can be so crucial. All told, it can move an election 1 to 3 percentage points. And again, when youre this close, having a neighbor who can say to you, you know what, i was there and now im voting for the other party because i dont like the direction the country was going before. That is a persuadable argument for a voter jamal, i want to get your thoughts on an endorsement for Abortion Access coming from perhaps an unexpected place. The former first Lady Melania Trump, putting out a video essentially saying that she supports womens a womans right to choose a Womans Independence as she puts it, saying theres no room for compromise on the issue. What did you make of this you know, i think Melania Trump believes what she believes what i wonder, though, is if this is the Trump Campaign effort to kind of muddy the water on abortion. This is their effort to sort of say, oh, were not really that bad. Look at melania. Melania agrees with you, but everybody knows that Donald Trump is the one who everyone should know. Donald trump is the one who appointed the Supreme Court justices that got rid of Roe V wade, got rid of the right to Abortion Access around the country so i think thats an important thing to to remember, you know were talking about the ad a second ago. I just want to jump in here on one thing. Were talking about the different communities that were talking to. Theres another ad that i saw today that i think came from the Lincoln Project thats targeting african american men, because we are seeing that Donald Trump is making some inroads with african american men. The Tail End of that ad, the very last thing they say is be a man, vote for a woman. I think thats an incredibly important thing to remember that moving voters, this this election has got a lot of voters in unlikely places. And so were talking to all of them if were going to move people to the vote on november 5th. Erin, what did you think about the Melania Message on abortion, though . Do you think it muddies the waters . Do you think it confuses people in a way that benefits trump or not . I dont think it confuses people. And i think that the first Lady Wouldnt have put it out if this wasnt of her own volition and her own direction. Lets be very clear. Melania trump makes Melania Trumps decisions, and especially when it comes to how she wants to participate in her husbands campaign. But she is a female voice forward. I wish this had happened a few months ago. This was a message that republicans have been struggling on for years, and i think j. D. Vance did a very good job on it during the debate, saying we need to be better on this we owe the american people an apology and an explanation on why were so bad on this issue, and why we cant tell the american people yes, if a woman is bleeding out, she has access to Health Care. Thats not a question and we can be prolife republicans at the same time. Shes got a different message than that. But at least there is a voice within the party thats standing up, one with a trump last name delivering a different message on it. Were going to dig deeper into that statement from the former First Lady a little bit later in the afternoon, so stay tuned for that for now erin perrine, jamal simmons, appreciate you both.
