About it. Its given our state another black eye. Up oral a sunday morning we are grateful you are. 6 00 here. Im christi paul. Im Martin Savidge in for victor blackwell. Deal or no deal at the u. S. mexico border in the incoming Mexican Government denies reports its reached a deal to keep Asylum Seekers out of the United States. Plus, according to the Washington PostTrump Campaign manager said the president is surrounded by disloyal staff and, quote, swamp creatures. The comments from those in the president s inner circle. Are you heading home today . Could ab rough road for millions of americans. Winter storms are expected to create trouble for travelers, unfortunately, across the country. Maybe an excuse not to make it to work tomorrow . Ha ha just could happen. We want to start with the big pushback on President Trumps overhaul of the asylum process at the u. S. mexico border. It would require Asylum Seekers to wait in mexico while their applications are processed in the United States. They say it would double the number of asylum applications processed at the border but the Mexican Government says he has not reached any agreement with washington. Sarah westwood is with us now. How is it reconciled is in the president says a deal. Mexico says theres not. Reporter thats right. There is certainly confusion over the status of this deal as mexican officials signal that its still in the preliminary stages of negotiation and President Trump is touting this deal as all but a certainty in a series of tweets yesterday, saying that Asylum Seekers will have to wait in mexico while their claims are processed in u. S. Court which, of course, would be a Major Overhaul of the current asylum system where migrants are eligible to request asylum as soon as they are on u. S. Soil. President trump has already tried to make changes to asylum policy in recent weeks. In fact, the week before the midterm election, the president unveiled a proposed rule change that would require migrants to present themselves at legal points of entry if they wanted to request asylum that would prevent he them from claiming asylum if they were caught trying to cross the border illegally but that attempted executive action was blocked for now by a federal judge and the president has been fixated on that ruling as he spends the thanksgiving week down here in West Palm Beach and tweeting about it from his property in maralago. The president will soon wrap up his thanksgiving holiday here in n. , head back to washington, and on monday, hell be heading to mississippi for two Campaign Rallies for embattled republican candidate senator cindy hydesmith in a runoff race in mississippi and why the president is holding two rallies in two different locations in mississippi on monday and gives the president the opportunity perhaps to address this issue of asylum and perhaps clear up some of the confusion about where the steel stands. We appreciate it, sarah westwood. Cindy hydesmith is facing new criticism over a measure she supported while she was in the Mississippi State senate. It praisesed confederate soldiers to his homeland. This could be a referendum what critics see as her very public missteps. Reporter senator cindy hydesmith tried to dial back the storm of criticism that republicans sparked about joking about a public hanging. During tuesdays debate in a runoff campaign, hydesmith apologized but accused others of twisting her words for political gain. You know, for anyone that was offended from my by my comments, i certainly apologize. There was no ill will, no intent whatsoever in my statements. This comment was twisted and it was turned into a weapon to be used against me, a political weapon used for nothing but personal and political gains on my opponent. Reporter her democratic opponent mike espy said her comments were not toward anyone. Her comments came out of her mouth so it calls out state harm. It has given our state another black eye that we dont need. Reporter since the public hanging remarks, a number of corporate donors to the hydesmith campaign have add asked for their money back, including walmart and a photograph with her posing with artifacts. How much of the remark is having on voters depends on who you talk to. If people truly are understanding what she is all about, i dont think that will affect them. It made it very clear, both to me and to a lot of other black mississippians, that the republican candidates do not really have our best interest at heart. Reporter espy, who is still considered an underdog in this deeply red state, is counting on an energized black electorate. President trump will be in mississippi to campaign for hydesmith and tuesday he seemed to be working damage control. She made a statement i know she feels very badly about it and it was just sort of said in jest. She is a tremendous woman and its a shame she has to go through this. For a closer look at what is at stake in the mississippi race, lets bring in historian for princeton university, julian zeleny. Good morning. This should have been, i would say, a very easy win, but ste instead for the republican candidate because of her own words it has turned into a battle. How close do you think it will be . The odds are still not as good as what happened in alabama where a democrat was able to win against a very flawed candidate. Mississippi is deeply red. Its a deeply trump state and rural voters will play a big say in the final outcome, but certainly her history, her remarks, the ongoing connections between her positions and her record and racial issues has energized africanamericans. Its certainly frightened being moderate voters and its made it competitive, which is kind of an amazing story. Africanamerican voters, i believe, made up 33 of those that voted at least in the initial round of voting earlier in the month. But this is a runoff and the problem possess runoffs here is people hay not be as enthused as the first time around. Getting out the vote is going to be key. Absolutely. Its always hard in a midterm and its even harder in a runoff where people are not paying attention. Although in mississippi, i think they are paying attention. I think the kind of remarks we have seen will get the attention certainly of africanamerican voters who are not going to tolerate this in 2018. But, still, the odds favor the republicans and i think espy knows that, but hes hoping what has happened the last week awakens democrats and make sure that vote turnout happens. Yeah. The Espy Campaign is hoping that this has energized democratic voters but it can also energize republican voters. As horrendous as the words may be, there are some who will say that is okay by me. Its what you might call the caravan effect. Its the way President Trump whipped up the votes in certain red state for the senate races in the midterms and there might be a way in which that happens here in this race. It actually helps turn out with white voters. We would hope that is not the case again in 2018, but i think some people watching this are wondering in this battle between rural sqae rural constituentsies and moderate white voters who wins out in this day and age when these remarks are on the table. Is there a clash going on between the modern south and the unfortunate and ugly history of mississippi, and how is that going to play out in the ballot box . Well, espy, when he says this really reflects poorly on mississippi, he is appealing, as a moderate democrat, he is a very moderate democrat, if he is actually appealing to white mississippi voters, including the business community, saying this is not good for the state. Again, he is replaying, in some ways, the arguments we heard in alabama when roy moore was working. And so i dont really know how this is going to play out. Again, its stacked in favor of a republican victory but espy is trying to make inroads on both fronts, africanamerican and voters who are not, but who are sick of this image of mississippi and want to make a statement that they are not about comments about public hangings in mississippi. We should point out this is the last unresolved senate race of the 2018 midterms. What is at stake as far as politically in washington . Very important. What we have seen the first two years of the Trump Presidency and the narrow majority of the senate is every vote matters. Mcconnell is hanging on to each vote with controversial legislation. So, again, democrats are not going to win a majority of the senate, but if they can cut down that vote by one, that can matter on crucial legislation, including health care, for example. Julian zeleny, always good to talk to you. Thanks very much. Thanks for having me. Today on state of the union, adam schiff and joni ernest are on the show. Tune in at 9 00 a. M. Eastern. Central plains and central midwest, if youre in that area you know heavy snowstorm is expected to make a mess if you are traveling this holiday weekend. Cnn meteorologist Allison Chincar is in the cnn Weather Center for us with the forecast. What is the worst part of this . Lets just get it out there. Yeah. We have a lot of cities stwael that are going to be dealing with travel concerns today. We have got the midwest and southeast. Oddly enough the southeast is due to dense fog. You got about 40 Million People under dense fog advisories and affect atlanta and memphis. The midwest is where the big system is going to hit. Cities like detroit, chicago, st. Louis is where our next big system is coming and that is going to be a true blizzard. To have blizzardlike conditions its not always about the snow. Its actually generally about the wind and the incredibly Poor Visibility and we are going to have all of that. Here you can see about 30 Million People under some type of Winter Weather alert from colorado all the over towards michigan. We also have the wind. Even if you arent in the blizzard warning you still have the potential to get wind gusts up to 65 miles per hour. Remember, if youre on the highway that can give some issues with the high profile vehicles. Here is a look as that system begins to push off to the east and affect areas of the midwest today and then its actually going to affect the northeast for tomorrow. So those cities arent quite out of the woods just yet either. Some of these locations may pick up as much as a foot of snow. Allison chinchar, thank you so much. If youre out there, drive carefully.
