Im Jim Acosta in for fredricka whitfield. We begin this hour on the president ial Campaign Trail. Now, just about a month away from Election Day in both campaigns revving up their supporters, appealing to undecided voters in key Battleground States during this final critical stretch of the race, voting already underway across several states and polls showing there it is again, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump locked in basically a dead heat at this point, their campaigns now navigating several big News Stories that could obviously shape the outcome of this election from the war in the Middle East to the devastating aftermath of helene another storm on the way to the florida Gulf Coast, apparently in a surprisingly strong jobs report that just came out at The End of this week. But lets start in battleground, pennsylvania, where in the next couple of hours, former President Donald Trump will take the stage In The City of butler at the site of his first Assassination Attempt back on July 13. At the same Location Trump narrowly survived an attempt on his life when a gunman opened fire and a bullet grazed his ear, one attendee at that rally died and two others were also injured. And Cnns Alayna Treene joins us now from Butler Alayna i mean, this Assassination Attempt on the former president back in july has really become a theme for trump. Trump on the Campaign Trail, he talks about his surrogates, talk about it, and theyre going to talk about it again today thats exactly right when i talk to Donald Trumps campaign about what to expect out of this particular rally. They said itd be different from a Traditional Trump Political speech though i imagine youre going to hear a lot of those same themes. Jim and said there really are trying to do a lot to honor the community, which of course was upended after that July 13 Fascination Attempt on Donald Trump. And specifically though theyre really trying to do a lot to honor the victims, particularly Corey Comperatore who was killed that day. I actually im not sure if you can see behind me, but in the crowd where god, he was Corey Comperatore, it was sitting on that in the bleachers behind the podium. Theyve actually put up. He was a firefighter. They put up his old Firefighter Jacket and his how helmet and also just had Sculpture Artist or a painter, i should say, i get up on stage and do a painting that ended up revealing him a lot of folks because today on the victims, also those who were injured were also going to see some pretty high folk, her profile republicans here with Donald Trump that includes elon musk. Of course. Remember here endorse Donald Trump just moments after that shooting happened in july for us in a seat. Jd vance are going to see members of Donald Trumps family, including Eric Trump and laura trump. There were really trying to make this a huge event now, as for the people on the ground, i spoke to many rally attended some of whom were here on July 13 and more recount what do those experiences. But others who were not and all of them said that theyre glad Donald Trump came back, that they knew that he said, and i promised that he would, and they do so. I guess is somewhat of giving them the ability to turn the page on what had happened. Take a listen to what cherry told me im happy for today because butler can now not have the reputation of having a near Assassination Attempt. Its redeemed. I think as of today you heard, i was shared on donald woman who lives here here in butler. She said that she believes the community is now redeemed. Ive heard a lot of similar stories here on the ground. Jim all right. Alayna treene. Thank you very much. We appreciate it any minute now, Vice President Kamala Harris is set to arrive in North Carolina to survey the aftermath of helene and that stage, she you can see right there join Base Andrews earlier this afternoon, she lands in charlotte and just a short time from now where she will get an Ontheground Briefing of Storm Recovery efforts. A large portion of western North Carolina, of course, suffered catastrophic damage when helene swept through that region last weekend, cnn, Sunlen Serfaty joins us now sunlen, were getting close closer to the Vice President s Event And Briefing down there in North Carolina, what can you tell us thats right, jim, Vice President Kamala Harris, leaving here in washington short time ago and shell be landing on the ground in charlotte, North Carolina shortly on this, of course, is a trip where shes eager to show her competency, eager to show leadership in the wake of a Natural Disaster as the southeast continues to dig out of that devastating storm that hit their area last week. Now, harris, when she is on the ground, shall see aid being distributed they to residence to well hear a briefing about the latest Recovery Efforts. She also talk to those who have been devastated by the, by the flooding and the aftermath. The Hurricane Hearing firsthand from people who have been impacted by the hurricane and likely shes going to get give an update on the federal response. Now, this visit is in her capacity as the Vice President , not as a president ial candidate, but its certainly comes at a critical moment in he campaigned just about 30 days to Election Day. So certainly this visit is seen through the lens of politics, and thats why weve seen her over the course of the last week in part go to these Battleground States for John Wednesday Today in North Carolina that have been damaged by the hurricane, ravaged by the hurricane. And weve seen her opponent, former President Donald Trump traveling to Battleground States that were ravaged by the hurricane as well. He was in georgia earlier this week speaking there, he injected politics straight into his visit. There really pointing a finger at the administration claiming without evidence that the biden administration and it hasnt been holding back a. That is something that the White House strongly just the White House is pushing back on and certainly something that leads, optically speaking speaking in Kamala Harris in her capacity as the Vice President , will be pushing back Floor Today when shes on the ground looking at the aid being distributed to the resonance there. Jim all right. Sunlen serfaty. Thank you very much for more on the Vice President s campaign lets bring in democratic congressman Gabe Amo of rhode island. Hes a surrogate for the Harris Campaign. Congressman. Thank you so much for being with us. We appreciate it so much. As you know, North Carolina is a critical battleground state. The Vice President is going there to get a briefing on Relief Efforts i guess one of the questions that i have is, should the Vice President respond to foreign President Donald Trump, who has been making a number of false claims as you know, about the Administrations Response to helene, would you like to see her respond to that . What do you think . Well, first off, thanks for having me, jim. Look, the Vice President is doing exactly what she should be doing. With people who had been devastated. And of course, my heart goes out to all the people across the southeast and she is focused on the response that includes moving the machinery of government hundred million dollars plus from fema flowing for response, moving to respond with thousands of personnel, thats what you should focus on in the politics of secondary to the pain that so many people are experiencing and whats your response to what former President Trump has been saying that he plays politics at the worst times. This is a time where we should be coming together. There is not a democratic response. Are republican response to an emergency like this. There is a response that it relies on the compassion of our leaders and to move forward in supporting people at their time of need. And weve seen, and weve heard reports that President Trump was known to play politics when it came to response, asking for information about the types of voters and the information related to his electoral prospects, rather then supporting people when they need government. So i dont think we should take him seriously and we should focus on the people who need our help and congressman, i do want to get to some politics. I mean, youve been meeting in North Carolina. My understanding with African American leaders there about Kamala Harris getting into the Oval Office . Then the latest Cnn Polling shows that shes got a very huge lead over the former president when it comes to a black voters who are likely to cast ballots in this upcoming election. Im just wondering though, one of the you probably know this all too well. One of the concerns for the Harris Campaign as with black men and whether or not shes going to have the kind of support that she needs from black men to win come november, whats your sense of that . Whats been your message to make sure that African American men come out to vote for Kamala Harris well, im here in North State where the black vote matters significantly. Remember, President Biden only lost this state to former President Trump by 1. 3 . And so we have to share the message of the accomplishments of the bidenharris administration, but more importantly, where were going in the future, which is why the Vice President has been focused on things like wealth creation, emphasizing the importance of Home Ownership of small business growth, of ensuring that everybody has the opportunity to thrive in our economy by expanding the child tax credit. So its got to be anchored in results anchored in deliver to bring material benefits to all americans, but especially black americans, who are going to play such a vital role in this election and as you know, congressman former President Barack Obama is going to be getting out on the Campaign Trail over the next several days. Is he seen as sort of a closure on all of this . How does his presence its out on the Campaign Trail help Kamala Harris at this point, do you think well, hes such an effective messenger . I am an alumnus of both of his president ial campaigns and his White House, as well as working in the Biden Harris White House. So i know that when you think about the ark of his journey as president , that Connective Tissue to what this administration has done. The historic work of the Rescue Plan and the infrastructure law, so much more, he will build a bridge between that promise of hope and turning it into action under a harris administration. So i look forward to seeing him out there delivering the message like no one else can all right. Democratic congressman gave amo of rhode island. Thank you very much for your time. We appreciate it thanks for having me. Alright.

A spokesperson adding that 440 hezbollah fighters have been killed in combat. Israel and hezbollah are continuing to exchange fire today, cnns cameras capturing this smoke rising from israels attacks on beirut suburbs, while Hezbollah Launched Rockets into northern israel, cnns Nic Robertson is in Tel Aviv. Nic and were also hearing from the israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today. Hes been using some fiery rhetoric. What can you tell us yeah, he has been reminding the public that the country is fighting on seven different fronts, not only against hamas in south but hamas in the West Bank in lebanon with hezbollah. And iranian backed militia militias in iraq, the houthis and of course, iran and is telling the country to stand together, but he has a lot of criticism for the french president today, a emmanuel macron, who has taught about the possibility of withholding weapons, supplies to israel based on the high civilian casualty its all not just in gaza, but most recently in lebanon as well. And this was what prime Minister Netanyahu had to say to that were fighting against iran, which last week fired over 200 ballistic missiles directly at israel and which stands behind the seven front war against israel . As israel fights the forces of Barbarism Led by iran all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israels Side you had President Macron and some other western leaders are now calling for an Arms Embargo against Israel Shame on them is iran imposing an Arms Embargo on hezbollah and the houthis and hamas and its other proxies of course, now the axis of turkey stands together uk did withhold some licenses. About 30 or so at a 354 Weapon Systems to be sold to israel. And i think what were seeing is European Countries really want to put down a marker about whats happening in lebanon the british foreign Secretary David Lammy today spoke about his concerns that so many medical facilities are being hit by the idf inside the south of lebanon. So raising that as a concern so i think were hearing more pushback against israels operations in lebanon evelyn, from the europeans right now and neck are we hearing anything were about to potential retaliation by israel aimed at iran evening said that the army is ready, that theyll do it when the best time that suits israel. But i think the best indication we have about how tense the situation is. Many Commemoration Events that big gatherings of people that would do to happen plus the country. One of them here in Tel Aviv, where there were thousands upon thousands of people expected the organizers of that Anniversary Commemoration have told all the people whove gotten tickets for it. Look, please dont come. Were going to broadcast this out, but the threshold on crowds gathering outside here central israel is 1,000 and they just dont want to put people in danger because they know that that today when Hamas Hezbollah could respond, israel might strike iran. Iran might respond. So i think youve got a sense that for this day, october the seventh, at least is falling in a frame that gives concern for the government here absolutely. All right. Nic robertson. Thank you very much. In Tel Aviv for us. We appreciate it in the meantime synagogues and places of worship in New York are getting increased Police Presence through the anniversary of the October 7 attacks in israel yesterday, Law Enforcement officials were made aware of Bomb Threats targeting synagogues across this date, which turned out to be unfounded. Cnns Gloria Pazmino is in new York Warriors glory that has to have people on edge right now. What can you tell us yeah, and we
