Fredricka whitfield. We begin on the president ial campaign trail. Now, just about a month away from the election and both campaigns meeting with voters in key Battleground States during this final critical stretch of the race, voting already underway across several states and poll show Vice President Kamala Harris and former Presint Donald Trump locked in a dead heat their campaigns now navigating several big News Stories that could shape the outcome of this election from the war. In the Middle East to the devastating aftermath of helene the surprising jobs report more on all of that coming up. But but today the former president is returning to the scene of his first Assassination Attempt in battleground, pennsylvania, trump is set to hold a rally in just a few hours from now in butler. Thats in the western part of the state. He narrowly survived and attempt on his life, as you recall, on july 13, at that location, the exact one as a matter of fact, when a gunman opened fire and a bullet grazed his ear, one attendee at the rally died, two others were injured. And Cnns Alayna Treene joins us now, live from butler, pennsylvania. Alayna, i know you were there that day. You went through all of that and youre learning more about some of the Security Precautions for Todays Event and how things are going to be a little different this time around can say that the Security Apparatus around this particular rally is very different from and what they had back in july during that first Assassination Attempt. One change is that Donald Trump is going to be surrounded by Bulletproof Glass while he is on that stage behind me ive seen as far more snipers on all of the roofs around this era than there were back in july. 1 thing we know that the shots when we were here last time, the shots came from this the direction the ajr buildings where the Thomas Crux they attempted assassin was on the roof where he fired those gunshots that view to those buildings is completely he locked off. They have placed trailers there in that line of sight theres far more secret Service And Law enforcement on the ground. You can see that with your own eyes, but i also just spoke with Ac A. Us Secret Service Communications Director who confirmed that to me, another thing, local Law Enforcement and Secret Service are going to be operating in one a man center today. Thats a big difference from last time, yes, last time, they argue that they werent communicating well, they werent speaking on the radio as they were supposed to be. So theyve fixed that well, today. And then also they have a better Counterdrone System in place. So again, much more heightened security now ads or how the rally will be different. Look when i talk to Trumps Campaign in leading up to this, they said that this wont be a traditional political rally though im sure youre going to hear a lot of that Campaign Rhetoric that we have become accustomed to. Instead, they really we are trying to focus on this community. And particularly the victims who were affected by those gunshots, especially the man who died, corey comperatore, his Skin Family is going to be here today. Donald trump is going to be speaking to them about them as well as some of the other victims who were shot. So a pretty heavy day here but i will say just the vibe from the crowd right now people are excited to be here and theyre ready to kind of try to change the narrative around what had happened in butler and make this more of something that they feel is what one person, one woman who told me his redemption yeah. And alayna, i mean yes, im sure theyre going to be marking what happened on july 13. But at the same time, Jd Vance is supposed to be there and Elon Musk is going to be there as well. So im sure trouble be dishing out his usual Red Meat what are you hearing from Rally Attendees there . What do they say well, just to mentioned Elon Musk and Jd Vance, a lot of them were really excited hey, good to see them. They said that part of the reason some of the people who hadnt come to the rally back in july became today, they said that they wanted to come to see Elon Musk and jamie can you vance, in addition to Donald Trumps, so that is drawn some people, but i actually asked a lot of these people about how theyre feeling safetywise. Last time some of the he attendees i spoke with were actually here, obviously a very traumatic emotional day for them. Every single rally attendee, jim, that i spoke with fed that they are not concerned about security that they believe that sure, there might have been failures back in july. They believe that there will be the proper enhancements to that of Donald Trump is coming coming back that needs his campaign is going to protect them. So that wasnt as much of a concern, but i also want you to just take a listen to some of why they said they decided to come back mr. Musk happy to be here. Im glad youre here is going to be a lot more Security Today i think this would be the last place they want to try again. So and im from New York and i figured the only rally i would make it too and its probably going to be one of the biggest ones here. This is my last jansa here i am. Everything is way too expensive shes not going to do anything about it. I believe he is a different voices, but a lot of them saying the same thing. And again, a lot the people excited to be here, a different vibe honestly, then when we left this venue, just a couple of months ago, when many of the attendees were really angered at the media, they were crying, they were emotional but people are ready to turn the chapter on that and see Donald Trump today. Jim all right. Alayna treene. Thank you very much. In the next hour, Vice President Kamala Harris will lead washington for North Carolina to survey the Storm Damage in the aftermath of helene. She is scheduled to arrive in charlotte this afternoon while shell get an ontheground briefing on the States Recovery efforts. The western part of North Carolina, of course, suffered weekend seen in Sunlen Serfaty joins us now over at the White House sunlen, what can you tell us . Well, jim, the Vice President , certainly very eager to show her competency and the face of a natural disaster. Eager to show leadership in the moment as a cell the east continues to dig out from the devastation of those storms. So she is going to charlotte in North Carolina today where the White House tells us that shall see the ongoing distribution of aid. Shell speak with some people directly affected by the hurricane. Shell get an update on Recovery Efforts and notably address the public and speak out about the Administrations Response now, notably, the Vice President is making this trip in her capacity as the Vice President , not necessarily as a president ial he ended it. But this close to Election Day, certainly it is viewed through that lens. Now only about 30 days to Election Day. And certainly at a critical moment. And notably shes traveling to a Battleground State of North Carolina as she will also previous week. Previously traveled to another Battleground State of georgia georgia. So notable that this is happening in many key states for the upcoming election. We saw former president Donald Trump are reported travel to georgia as well worthy injected politics into his visit to the region, really blasting the administration without evidence claiming that theyre withholding aid. So certainly Vice President Kamalas Harrison Visit today is an essence somewhat of a optical response to that, showing that she is on the ground showing that they are getting the two people affected by this disaster. And of course showing that president ial leadership for the seat that she one day wants to hold. Jim all right. Sunlen serfaty thank you very much. Trumps weekend of campaigning. Start with an unlikely reconciliation for the first time since the 2020 Election Trump was meeting facetoface with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp the two have had a thorny relationship ever since trump falsely accused Kemp State of voter fraud, and trump has repeatedly blasted count for not doing enough to overturn the 2020 Election Results were not doing that at all. But on friday, the two seem to be making some amends during a briefing on georgias Helene Damage joining me now is the former Lieutenant Governor for georgia, geoff duncan. He is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, hes also a cnn political commentator. Geoff good to see you as always. I mean, what did you make . Of Trump And Kemp back together again i think its important to note that brian cant really set set the Tone And Tenor for those meetings yesterday. I mean, he was all business, 100 laserfocused on the Hurricane Relief efforts and really, i believe kept Donald Trump in check when Donald Trump had his prepared remarks. They were there inside the rails and then as soon as Donald Trump wanted to take on the media questions and start politicizing everything. Brian kemp exited the stage. I thought that sent sen. A pretty good message where Brian Kemps heads at and jeff, i mean, just to can you weigh in on how trump has just been lying about the Disaster Response across the southeast. He was insisting that camp was not in touch with President Biden when kemp was on camera saying that he was talking to President Biden and theres all this talk of Fema Money go into migrants instead of to Hurricane Relief that is not the case theres a separate funding streams, and so on. Its been a lot. Whats been your response to all of it the lies are one of the biggest reasons why im a republican, a lifelong republican supporting Vice President harris as a democrat. The lies are dangerous. Theyre reckless, they, they cause harm in this particular instance, i mean, does any of these lies actually helped people get closer and quicker benefits . No, they dont i mean, famous having to spend resources reprogramming their websites and Social Media to debunk some of these, these messages but this is Donald Trumps game, whether its an election, a hurricane a criminal case, you name it, its always allies and to me, thats the shallowness of this human. And its not only, not right, its simply unamerican and we need to hold them accountable for it. Looked this country doesnt extremely good job of dealing with disasters. Democrat, republican, i dont care whos in the White House we do an incredibly good job of wrapping our hands around disasters and were doing that now. I think the biggest kind of Litmus Test is how do these governors, how are they reacting to the federal Governments Response . And theyre almost verbatim saying the same thing that federal government is giving us everything were asking for and more to me, thats the ultimate gauge of where we go with this. But look, the only way we stop Donald Trump from lying is beat them in november yeah. I mean, theres the situation in california when when trump was president , a former trump senior director for Resilience Policy told politico that trump initially refused to approve Disaster Relief for california after the deadly wildfires there in 2018. And that trump change his mind after this official showed him voting results that indicated that orange county, california had a lot of trump supporters there others of doing what he has done that we have inside the republican party. That is exactly. I mean, you cannot just be a good Decision Maker in your political life or in your leadership life. And beale, Train Wreck in every other part of your life, you just dont mix those two. Or you dont leave them siloed. Donald trumps rotten to the core and our party is rotten to the court this point. And so look, im doing everything i can politically, but in this time, in this disaster area, the last thing we need to do is politicize any of this. I mean, there are families that are missing Loved Ones there are families that dont know where the next meal is going to come from. Families that dont know what tomorrow has in store for them and Donald Trump is seized on the moment like he always does to politicize it. Look if he wins this election, it is what it is he wins. Ill be disappointed but ill still be an american and ill still go to work every day and try to do the best i can do yeah. A lot of republicans like yourself are speaking out. I but there are folks in the party who were still parroting Donald Trump and even going a lot further. I mean, speaking of conspiracy theories, i wanted to get your Reaction Something that Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on Social Media as she was talking about the impact of Hurricane Helene. And she said on twitter, yes they can control the weather. Its ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it cant be done. I mean, this is this is some Looney Tunes stuff well, its par for the course for Marjorie Taylor Greene in her words, always, typically speak for themselves. And if somebody wants to believe that farright bantered, go ahead. Its its a lot like the folks inside the republican party that just feel like Donald Trumps the future and hes the perfect person force. Hes not, well have our day. Its probably going to come around November 6 or seventh when we realized Donald Trump got beat handily and we move on as a party and tried to find a new leader to stand up. That can actually do something with a gop 2. 0 yeah. Jim, i mean, im just trying to figure out what does she mean by that. Like, how did they do it are we talking about Space Lasers here . I dont know, but all right. Geoff duncan great to see you as always, thanks a lot. Really appreciate you. Thanks a lot. All right. Still ahead.
