Hour of cnn, new central starts right now Campaign Trail, his big plans for a 27 Day Blitz for Kamala Harris from texas to maine, Tens Of Thousands of Port Workers are back on the job this morning. And i didnt deal. That seems to have averted a massive mess for the u. S. Economy at a father going Above And Beyond his 12 Hour Trip . But it should have taken only two hours through Hurricane Helenes aftermath to make sure he was there to walk his daughter down the aisle. What he went through to get there. Thats super dad is our guest He Baldwin with Sara Sidner and John Berman. This is cnn new central milestone were exactly one month and one day until the election. It is crucial moment to assess what is happening and what the status of the race is exactly one month and one day away. The Harris Campaign is marking the one month and one Day Mark with an announcement, former President Barack Obama hitting the Campaign Trail for us in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, he will visit multiple states over the next month in one day deck. I couldnt even land the plane at my own Joke Cnn senior political Analyst Mark Preston is with us now. Mark, you covered a lot of campaigns every campaign, this is such an important day exactly one month and one day away. Talk to us about Barack Obama. What he can do for the Harris Campaign on the trail well, ill tell you what, john, you know, nowadays, how much endorsements really matter what in this case it does matter brock obama, certainly the most popular democrat right now in the democratic party, someone seen as a leader, someone who has been very careful not to overexpose themselves out there speaking about every issue out there in a line following the democratic leaders, not only in congress, but certainly in the White House, to lead their own way. But now he is coming out as you noted, he will be in pittsburgh next week. It will be the beginning of this what his advisers describing as a blitz, it could be two Battleground States in these final closing weeks, whats interesting though, john and is that his wing person, Michelle Obama, we havent heard anything about what her plans are. I will say this do not expect to see her in pittsburgh. Good chance. They may not even be together on the Campaign Trail because they are both so popular that we could see some Michelle Obama announcement in the coming days about her role will be in the Kamala Harris campaign. I think you can count on Michelle Obama getting out there at some point and somewhere where the Harris Campaign thinks is most important, maybe even more important than where theyre sending Barack Obama on the subject of Pennsylvania Mark Donald trump, going back to butler, which of course is the site where there was the Assassination Attempt and bringing Elon Musk of all People Musk . Has Elon Musk just inviting himself a lot . I often do this with the folks whose around Donald Trumps around himself with specifically maralago, you know, does he invite people to maralago or do they can to just show up at maralago and i think its the latter in this case though, Elon Musk has been a very vocal supporter of Donald Trump in fact, just in the past few days, john joined. This is what he said on twitter. Elon musk about Donald Trump very few americans realize that if trump is not elected, this will be the last election far from being a threat to democracy he is the only way to save it now, i dont think Elon Musk is necessarily going to get you a whole who lot of pennsylvania votes. But he does control the incredibly, incredibly influential platform of twitter. I guess its called x now, so i expect that Elon Musk, who is not only raising money for Donald Trump, will probably allow his platform to help promote the Trump Candidacy in these closing weeks. Oh, hes spending a lot at a time promoting it on X Twitter or twitter or whatever its called mark preston. Thank you very much okay. One month and one day. Joining us right now, cnn political commentator and democratic Strategist Maria Cardona and former strategic Communications Director for Donald Trumps 2020 campaign. Marc lotter. I love John Berman joke, especially when he starts laughing his own job before he finishes at, its the best. Lets play pro con wasnt together. Mark obamas 27 Days Sprint for the Harris Campaign. Give me a Pro And Con of that the democratic base. Obviously they still hold him in very high regard. I dont think it will move the needle with undecideds because they tried this in 2016 when he was still the sitting president. It wasnt successful in the one key difference twothirds, nearly twothirds of The American people still think our country is headed on the wrong track so going out there and saying that kamalas the new way forward, she is the way of right now, difficult to sell lets go Flip Side on this as john and mark are also talking about, is going to be a really powerful moment when Donald Trump returns to butler, pennsylvania, the site of the first attempted assassination that he faced Elon Musk saying invited are not showing up. He says he plans to attend the rally this weekend, Pro And Con of that well, i think the pro for them is that it will continue to motivate their own base the con, and that is, i dont think theyre both their base really needs motivating what Donald Trump needs. Most desperately is to expand his map, to expand the Voter Base that he needs in order to win. And what i think has been frankly kind of head scratching a little jawdropping to me. Is that every time he is on the Campaign Trail on everyone that he brings to the rallies with him does nothing of the sort and in fact, they serve to alienate the exact same voters that they need to win independence undecideds if there are any suburban women, the people who were completely disaffected by him in 2016 and in 2020, that he might have a chance to win back. Hes doing absolutely nothing to do that. So for democrats, i think its great, right . Get him out there. The more that he talks, the more that he alienates voters in the middle that he needs to win the more people realize this is not what we need in the White House. This man is completely unfit to lead were going to vote for Kamala Harris. Perfect segue to then if they exist, the undecideds, if they do exist, if we do, i dont know if we still call them doublehaters considering how the campaign has changed, regardless, weve talked often mark about how Liz Cheney is not where the center of the Republican Party is right now, the center is Donald Trump. His campaign, her campaigning though with Kamala Harris in wisconsin, quite something to see that image just as a student of politics, lets play it. Let me play this even before Donald Trump started spray tanning. I have never voted for a democrat but this year, i am proudly casting my vote for Vice PresidentKamala Harris trump aides announcing that theyre going to campaign for her in pennsylvania you might not like it. Good strategy though well, i think its a strategy thats going to basically, Again Lock in people who are already locked in. I think if there are those 23, 4 of undecideds, i think theyre undecided because Kamala Harris has not been able to convince them she has a plan to deal with Gas And Grocery prices, secure the border or the wars that are raging now around the world, it does show having some former trump advisors speaking to the whole threat to Democracy Thing that is just not moved the needle. And so theres a reason why i think theyre still undecided. Theyre giving Kamala Harris the chance to earn their vote with an actual plan. She Cant Answer those questions and they know that Wealth Stuff was more affordable. The border was secure in the world was safer with Donald Trump. So shes either going to complete that deal or were going to get more of the same, which is what we have now mark brings up a lot of what youre seeing is the is talking about donald. They what they view as Donald Trumps threat to democracy. And we know maria, that when the transition from the democratic ticket went from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris, one of the things that really went away was the focus on January 6 and a threat to democracy and it was, it was a definite Campaign Messaging Shift i dont know if you call it falling back, but moving to this now, is it as john was talking about . It is as you walk into a trap no, i dont think at all. And ensure that the it was it was more a message underscoring of what she needed to do in terms of the economy and immigration that shes leaning into it now. And in fact, shes closing the gap on those things, on the economy, on immigration and which is what she needed to do, especially as a new candidate where a lot of americans didnt really know her biography and her background. So i dont think it was so much a complete change in messaging that messaging was always there underneath when the campaign talked about rights and freedoms that was theyre front and center. So i dont think its a trap at all. And in fact, i think it kind of puts a great Bow Tie on everything that democrats have been talking about, because Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, he is a threat to our rights and freedoms. He is a threat to our economy. He is our threat, a threat to the Common Sense . Balanced approaches. The solutions based problemsolving that Kamala Harris is offering, and that Donald Trump absolutely does not. And in fact, he offers completely the opposite chaos on every single one of the issues that americans care about and so Kamala Harris being able to talk about that, even with bringing in January 6, i think underscores that stark difference in that stark contrast between those two candidates quick final Thought Mark well, yeah, what theyre trying to do is turn the page from the book they wrote, The American people know that we had low inflation, a secure border, a safe world, and Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, changed all of it. You cannot rewrite the history of today because you are the ones who wrote it. This heres the problem. You, The American people may know that kamala doesnt have the answers. Actually, kate, what one . Very quick thing the one important thing that obama can do, because i think americans understand that four years ago the economy was in a tailspin. The economy was in a tailspin because Donald Trump was an absolute failure and actually dealing with one of the biggest problems that weve had as a country in a century, which is the Pandemic President Obama can remind people that the first couple of years of of trump the economy was great because obama handed him that amazing economy. And what trump did with it was flushed it down the toilet what i have to say is when you play for you, chief gary, Big Day is one month and one day to the election.
