And empty store shelves and Toilet Paper shortages giving people nightmarish Reminders Binders of the pandemic. But dont blame the new Dock Workers strike, Blame Panic buying ahead what you need to know about what is and what is not being affected did by the walkout. Were following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News central and former President Donald Trump are battling it out in the battle wraps. This hour, were watching as trump is set to pitch his economic message to voters in the key state of michigan. The first time were seeing him on the trail since stunning new details dropped. In. Special counsel Jack Smiths Election Interference Case against him and then later tonight they may be on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but former house republican Liz Cheney and Vice President harris are going to team up for an event in Wisconsin Thats where we find cnns eva mckend, whos following the harris campaign eva, the significance of the location where theyre holding this event obviously lee noted its the birthplace, the reported birthplace of the republican party. And this splitscreen, seeing them sidebyside, fascinating Oddson Birthplace of the republican party, the Vice President going to be joined by Liz Cheney up on that Stage Tonight for the first time of the campaign, theyre going to be standing in front of signs that we country over party and listen the argument here from the Vice President is that a Harris Administration would uphold democracy. It would be principally concerned about the constitution and the Rule Of Law and it is those fundamentals that are most important, even if there are Policy Disagreements among the independence and conservatives that she is trying to reach. But listen now not every voter here. I spoke too, convinced by this message. I met one man, hes actually going to be attending the remarks tonight. Hes glad that shes in the community and speaking to voters in this small town. But hes a republican and hes still going to support the former president. Lets listen well, you know, i believe more and a conservative fundamentals of the economy, less regulations, stronger military strong border to be quite honest, i dont believe either candidate. Theyre going to say whatever theyre going to say to get to get elected not voters like that one, but, but other voters who are more persuaded by this argument, listen, its not only republicans here wisconsin that they are trying to reach over the next four days. The campaign has events in battleGround States across the country. Theyre also investing in this up on the airwaves but listen, not all democrats think that this is the right strategy. Some democrats, i speak to say they think the campaign instead should be investing in the base of the party, speaking to black voters, asian voters, latino voters, and stop trying to chase these republicans it is notable though this strategy, because the former President Isnt employing something similar. Yes he has former democrats out for him stumping on the Campaign Trail, but there isnt formally organized democrats for trump equivalent, for instance and so that just gives you a sense of how much they are prioritizing this. Who was constant democrats told me they think its the right strategy boris, brianna even mckend live for us in wisconsin. Thank you so much, eva, brianna, as we are waiting for trump to take the podium in michigan, were learning that former First Lady, Melania Trump is now coming out publicly against her husband on a very critical issue for voters. And that is Abortion Cnn national correspondent Kristen Holmes is live on the Campaign Trail in michigan kristen, tell us what shes saying and do you expect the former president to address this this hour . Brianna, he often doesnt comment on things that Melania Trumps Golf Course were waiting to see that Speech Build on the economy well talk about any big way takes the stage as was seated. He often does that when it comes to Melania Trump. She is giving a loaded endorsed all of Abortion Rights its in this clip. She posted a video to promote her memoir, which is coming out later this month. She says theres no room for compromise when it comes to a womans individual freedom the listen individual freedom is a fundamental principle that i safeguard without a doubt. There is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right . That all women possess from birth individual freedom what does my body, my choice really mean given the fact that Donald Trump himself block two years have been trying to navigate this issue of abortion. He is the architect of the overturning of roe wade but he also has tried to stay away from this issue. He believes that his politically harmful to him, particularly with moderates, particularly with women. He often doesnt bring it up in his for example, today we dont expect him to talk about abortion, but at the same time, he tries to grab credit for the overturning of Roe V. Wade whenever he can talk thinking about how No One else could get it done by him, but him to something he is clearly grappled with it here you see the former First Lady going against something that is essentially one of his signature sure. Chief, while in office, something that he has touted as one of his signature achievements on the overturning of Roe V wade time and time again. And she is coming out against at a time where we see her time on the Campaign Trail. She was there when he announced his candidacy back about two years ago, but others so not she has been missing from the debate of any significant, significant event and have all this Court Appearances and now we hear coming out and again, essentially having a completely different stance that her husband on his key issue its really interesting. Kristen holmes. Thank you so much. Live for us from michigan. Lets turn now to our panel joining us. Now in studio, we have cnn senior political analyst, Gloria Borger and cnn chief national Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny all right. Jeff first, lets talk about the Kamala Harris event where shes appearing in of all places, the birthplace of the republican party with Liz Cheney the orchestration of that is really something the messaging is clear. The question will be, does it make the the difference . But it also happens to be in battleground wisconsin. So its a twofer, if you will, and symbolism, but also perhaps in a strategic votes that is a Red County not far from milwaukee in southern wisconsin. Look, it is not likely to make a big difference among republicans, but among independents it could, there is a new Marquette Law School survey out today that shows that in wisconsin, harris has a pretty subsidized Sibyl Edge over trump on independence, about 20 points or so. They are trying to expand that a little bit more among hardcore republicans. Liz cheney is Persona Non Grata to put it gently but i think among others not just never trumpers, but some independence and people have questions about trump. I think of course it is a good place to have a speech. Is it going to move the needle a ton . No, theres nothing that moves the needle a ton, but i think in terms of symbolism im fascinated to watch Liz Cheney introducing Kamala Harris 2024. I mean, talk about every line is divided of every Case Campaign that weve covered, who thought we would wind up here, right . Gloria yeah. Not everyone is thrilled with this idea. Even mentioned this sort of tension among some democrats and we actually have a democratic state representative rule, roman from the Ground State of georgia who tweeted this out about the cheney Harris Event it feels like the campaign is still trying to run a Biden Campaign and its doing harris a massive disservice all repeat republicans are not going to save us touting their endorsements is turning people off. Do you think the harris campaigns time is better spent going after . Hispanic voters, black voters, folks that are more traditionally in their cameras supposed to recover. You can walk and chew gum at the same time. And i think thats what theyre trying to do. And by the way, where is the base of the party going to go to Donald Trump . I dont think so so i understand the complaint from a progressive but she is going after these independent voters, wisconsin is tight and shes ahead with independent voters and she wants to capitalize on that. And this kind of a display would appeal to independent voters who may want to see more bipartisanship so while i understand the complainant that progressives i dont think they have much of a choice. There. Both tickets are making a play for these independent voters. Thats clear, thats where they think its out. We spoke with the former Lieutenant Governor for georgia republican, Geoff Duncan here in the last hour and i asked him what he thought of Jd Vance on the Debate Stage, trying to show this maybe new phase of the republican party if it didnt the Trump League less bombast. And heres what he said it was really refreshing, right . Ive been critical, Jd Vance, on some of the rhetoric ive heard early on in the Cat Thing and all that stuff was going on, but he did a really good job in that debate of really projecting what the republican party should be. The problem that hes got Jd Vances god is these married to the Maga Mob . And hes going to have to act the way Donald Trump wants in the act so he finished by saying, we all know what happened to Mike Pence on january 6. I wonder what you think about that. Well, look, i think vance did do a good job during the debate. Theres No Doubt about it, except for the last few minutes of the debate where he wouldnt say that that Donald Trump had lost the election. And walz pointed out the only reason he was standing on the Debate Stage was because trumps former more Vice President wasnt there with him so, you know, i think that this is something people know, but to remind them of that, Which Walz did was a good thing. And i think, you know, vance has trouble with this issue because you know, he wasnt you know, to be a true election denier, you have to say that that the trump won the election. And i think on a radio show today, he may have kind of said that, but its difficult, you know, he had to walk a very difficult line in order not to get Donald Trump upset. And there were, by the way, lots of conservatives, Geoff Duncan may have thought he did a great job. But there are lots of conservative republicans who thought he didnt do a good job. Who thought that he wasnt standing up for maga principles and wasnt conservative enough look, i think at the end of the day, it felt to me it was a very pretrump Era Debate as civil conversation, but the challenges it is still very much the Trump Era so despite the softening of the edges, the policies are still the same its thursday, the debates, almost 48 hours old. I think and its probably among the last time well talk about it. Its not going to change things. All that much but walz did not have a strong night. We know that and he will you know trying to improve from here, well see vance was good, No Doubt about it. Before we let you go this unexpected endorsement of Abortion Access from Melania Trump very stylized video. How much of this is politics and the way that some have described trying to muddy the waters and how much of it is just she wants headlines as you could sell a book . Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah i think that to the timing of it is no once it again, right before an election, of course, she wants to monetize this, but look, i mean, on abortion, i assume she abs actually believes this, but boy, it gives trump a lifeline for some suburban. It softens him you know, to a certain degree, but let me point out that first ladies have generally been prochoice. They just dont republican First Ladys generally dont announce it during their husbands fight for reelection so, you know, its nothing new to have a First Lady thats prochoice, but the fact that she is speaking out should make for some interesting conversations between spouses when you say maybe he like it, yeah i were doing dont you think he knew im had no idea. I do. I suspect he appreciates borger, Jeff Zeleny. Appreciate you both. Thanks for joining us.
