Republicans roll into Iowa State Fair for Deep Fried Tingys and a chance to deepen a connection with voters. It maybe the only chance to see the front runner, whose Debate Stage Decision is still tbd. Plus lifestyles of the rich and connected. Yachts, vip pass, ranches, hospitalers, private jets, Clarns Thomas got it all on someone elses dime. Who paid for what and how many times the justice may have broken the law. And a Cnn Exclusive, joe bidens Campaign Manager joins us for her first interview here in minutes. Im dana bash. Lets go behind the headlines and Inside Politics. Up first, new reporting. A source tells me that nikki haley just signed the Loyalty Pledge required to punch her ticket to the first debate stage. Haley is the third republican candidate to do so. More on that in a few minutes. Were going to start in iowa where candidates hope to turn a state fair into their own field of dreams. The fair is a tradition drenched in butter and opportunity and risk. It give candidates an up front chance to talk and eat with the iowans could fuel or finish their campaigns for the republican nomination. Lets get straight to jeff zeleny, who is the at the fairgrounds with the most Plum Assignment of the day. It looks like its already starting and rearing up there. Reporter this is the opening day of the Iowa State Fair. A tenday run here, and every four years the comes with a hearty side of politics. That is true this year as well. Are every republican president ial can with the exception of Chris Christie who are is not really competing here, will be attending the fair over the coming days. This weekend it is going to be peak fair time. Donald trump and ron desantis will be on the fairgrounds. But before then, all the other candidates will be as well. They will be making their case to undecided voters. They will be going through the rights of passage of flipping pork chops on sticks, talking to supporters and taking questions at the des moines registers soap box. Thats also where many candidates in years gone by have fielded questions and delivered a stump speech. But we are 158 days until the starting line of the 2024 president ial campaign right here with the iowa caucuses. But were less than two weeks before the first Republican Debate in milwaukee. Thats on all of the campaigns minds and candidates minds. What im looking for over the next couple days is to watch how the candidates start Drawing Distinctions between one another. Not necessarily against donald trump, but against other. The governor of iowa is also playing a central role here. She will be interviewing all of the candidates on spaj. What shes calling a fairside chat. This is just a right of political passage here in iowa. A lot of opportunity. But also the opportunity for some missteps, how do the candidates interact with voters. Donald trump brought his hospelicopter here in 2015. Im told thats not going to happen. He will not be giving helicopter rides, but he will be here along with all the other candidates. I remember that well. Off minute before the candidates get there. Cant wait to see the photos of all the amazing fried food youre going to be eating. Thank you so much. Here to share their insights is cnns niamalika henderson, Jonah Goldberg and sung min kim of the associated press. He has a really great assignment. We can all go out there. Hes at a place where not the big donors, regular iowans are going around. Some who are Republican Voters, who are not Republican Voters, but we thought this was a chance to taka look at smalldollar donors in iowa. The New York Times had this today. Theres no flood ofs rushing to support ron desantis. Just 17 iowans had given h campaign 200 or more. Nikki haley had 25 such iowa donors. While trump had 117. Mike pence just 7. What does that tell you . It tells me its early for the grass the roots work in iowa. And i dont know what the baseline is of what small donors was four years ago, but i do think were seeing time and time again the political contests are being nationalized. Small donors in iowa are more important as an indicator of grass root support than anything else. But i also think were dealing with a 25time where theres a l of cheering and selfcongratulations about the rise of small donors a decade ago. Now small donors are one of the biggest problems for democracy, for the gop. Because small donor large donors actually have a strategic view about moderation, who can win, who cant. Small donors really are just venting their spleen with their credit card. And they lock candidates into positions that can hurt them in the general election. Such an important point. I want to do an entire discussion on that later, because youre right, the emails that go out that are the screaming headlines that are the most extreme headlines tend to be aimed right at those small donors youre talking about. One of the open questions, of course, is the debate, which is less than two weeks away. And donald trump said something to newsmax yesterday about whether or not he would sign the pledge that is being required by the Republican National committee. Listen to what he said. I wouldnt sign the pledge. There are people on there i wouldnt have. I can name three or four people i wouldnt support for president. So right there, theres a problem. Im going to make a decision. I havent totally ruled it out. I would love to do it, in many ways, because i enjoy that. But well let people know next week. I think there was a vat of items in her drawer. At some point, i think hes going to make a big announcement about whether or not hes going to come. Hes stringing us along for the attention of it all. He is facing a field that hasnt done so well in terms of polling. He is far out ahead of them. It doesnt really make sense for him to go. Theres no upside for him. So its unlikely he will come. I do think his comments about the pledge is one of the reasons why voters like donald trump. There is a sort of honesty about him when it comes to silly things. I do think the pledge is kind of silly and people are going to sign it, but they are talking trash about donald trump, but saying they would vote for him, which makes them seem like hypocrites. Hes saying, no, im not going to sign the pledge because if Chris Christie was the nominee, i dont think he would vote for Chris Christie or mike pence even. There are a lot of people in that field he doesnt reich. But thats the honesty and calling in as he sees them. Lets look the at who signed the pledge so far. Nikki hay nt her pledge in. We already knew that ron desantis has. We talked about donald trump, tim sct, crust crist, doug burgum, tim scott said he has, but i dont think republicans have gotten it. Right. And i think theres obviously the contrast of the people willing to go along with the pledge. Lets be honest. Its nonbinding. Theres no real forcing mechanism here. But i do think that trump going back to the question of whether hes going to participate in the debate, im not sure. On all of the strategic questions, he he is way ahead in the polling. There really isnt a strategic upside to him participating. But also this is donald trump. He cant avoid a show. He relishes the fight. I dont how much hes going to be steam ing when he sees some f the other candidates be up on that stage and leveling these attacks that hes unable to respond in that moment. So it will be really interesting to see what he decides. I see it differently. I see this as trump likes to force institutions and individuals to humiliate themselves. Thats what hes. Com to the dgop. He might not do the pledge, but wants to do the debate. The great irony is hes declaring to the world hes a rhino. Hes a republican in name only. He wont support the party if hes not the nominee. He demands all his loyalty from republicans, but he shows no loyalty to the party. So by saying hes not going to sign the pledge, but saying i havent made up my mind, hes daring the gop to say you cant participate unless you sign this. I dont think he has the fortitude to say that to him. Theres another layer. One of the main reasons is to make sure if donald trump is the nominee, everybody says they will support him. Thats the irony here. I want to talk more broadly about the debate and just kind of where the field is right now. Listen to Chris Christie, who has said you have to plow through donald trump in order to get the nomination. Listen to where he is right now on that. Our momentum is going the right way. Ron desantis is going in the wrong direction. So first job is to get past ron desantis here in new hampshire. We have caught him. Now we need to pass him. And then were going to take on donald trump oneonone. Thats what this debate is going to be about for Chris Christie. Hes a master debater. We remember what happened with marco rubio. It was pretty unpleasant for marco rubio. And i imagine thats the kind of strategy hes going to take with ron desantis. Hes kind of a shaky debater. If you have looked at his past performances up against charlie crist, not a great debater. So this matchup is going to be real headline out of this debate. Im interested to see how ron desantis reacts under pressure when hes challenged. We know when hes been asked frankly basic questions by reporters, he has kind of lost his cool at times and snapped. And thats just reporters. These are other republican candidates who dont want him to get the nomination. Thats something that perhaps well be watching closely. Thank you so much.

Four americans wrongfully detained in iran have been released on house arrest. Cnns Christiane Amanpour broke the story and is joining us now. What does this mean for the four americans . It is a major step forward. However, we have to make a caveat. Cthat this, according to to ther lawyer, who confirmed that four americans who were detained at the Notorious Tehran Prison are at a hotel thats going to serve as house arrest for a period of weeks. Its been reached between the ts United States and iran. The u. S. And iran do not have diplomatic relations. There have been in treaties and held by the government of kut qatar. We know these american have left and are at the hotel. We understand they are being fitted and they are wearing and will be wearing ankle bracelets. They are being in the custody not of the americans, not of any International Diplomats in iran, but in the custody of iran still. The irgc, that is the way its going. Once the ts are crossed and is are dotted, then they will in the next several week, we dont know exactly when, be actually freed. So what their lawyer has been saying and is saying to us, im going to read you what he said. This is an important first step. We welcome it, but we are just waiting. We are not going to call it freedom yet. Were waiting to see how it all plays out. But this is a really big deal. A 51yearold has been held there for over 7 years. Hes the longest ever american hostage, they call themselves, held there just because of being american. And the two others have been held for the last five years. There was another whose identity we do not know because the family has not made it public. That person was held for about a year. But what we do know is today, they have been at least allowed to leave the prison. Christiane amanpour, good news indeed. Great news for these prisoners, hostages and for their families. Im sure youll be on throughout the day as you learn more information. Thank you so much for that. Now to the special counsels case against former President Trump. Today carlos and walt nauta, two names now forever recorded in an indictment alongside donald trump, were inside court to answer new charges. Lets go to florida outside the federal courthouse. Cnns randi kaye is there. What happened . Reporter donald trump wasnt here. He waived his appearance, but his aid was here and his Property Manager at maralago were both here. Walt nauta did plead not guilty to the new charges in the superseding indictment. He showed up here with his two lawyers. We were expecting the Property Manager to enter a plea as well. He was in a miami courtroom. He did not enter a plea because he did not officially have a florida lawyer. There was a florida lawyer in the courtroom with him today. But he wasnt officially signed on yet, so he told the court he was waiting confirmation before entering his appearance as counsel. So his d. C. Attorney told the court they believe they have ironed out the details, but they need another day or so to make it official. Now another day, another delay. We have carlos returning here to the court, at least his attorneys will be. He maybe waive his appearance to officially enter a plea in the classified documents case. And all of this comes as they are facing these charges from the special counsel, which include false statements, conspiracy and concealing documents. Its very hard to find. No question about it. That was sarcasm. Now to a different jurisdiction, georgia. The prosecutor and the former president are trying to tilt the scales. Cnn learned wednesday that fani willis plans to indict more than a dozen individuals in her case against donald trump. The front runner is already out with an ad that willis calls derogatory and false. Sara murray is here now to give me more on whats going on in georgia. I think were seeing some political sniping ahead of fani willis going before a grand jury. We expect shes going to seek charges against more than a dozen individuals as part of her sprawling case. Shes been looking at potential racketeering charges, which would allow her to ensnare many defendants. But the Trump Campaign is air ing an ad in the atlanta area where they include a number of claims. Some of them are true. Like shes been disqualified from investigating in this probe because she hosted a fundraiser for his democratic opponent, something the judge slapped her down for. There are other claims in this ad that are more salacious and baseless. They allege she had a relationship with a local rapper that she had previously defended. Therejust no factual basis to back that up. So fani willis sent a note to r aff, and im going to read a part of it. She said, we have no personal feelings against those we investigate and should not express any. This is business. It will never be personal. She goes on to say, your instruction for me is to ignore all the noise and keep doing your can job with excellence. Obviously, we have seen donald trump come out harsh against all of the prosecutors investigating him, but especially fani willis. This is not going to be changing any time soon. Thank you.

And take advantage of our no interest were Learning Mutt Details about Justice Clarence thomas lavish lifestyle. He was gifted the following. 38 destinationacions, 26 private jet flights,2 p passes to pro and College Sporting events, 2 stays at luxury resorts in jamaica and florida, and a Standing Invitation to play a highend private golf club in florida. This was reportedly all fund ed by a wider circle of billionaire friends. Along with niamalika henderson, who is back. So tell us more about what were learning from this. This is going to put even more pressure from the outside from critics in congress. And its going to make things more fraught inside. Hes not responded to our questions when the latest, but he saiinhe past that early in his tenure, he did not have to report any kind of this personal hospitality that was given to by friends, who didnt have business before the court. Let me just say im glad you put the list up there. Private jet travel has always been covered by the financial dissure rules. So 26 trips should have been covered. In the past back in the 90s, early on in his own tenure, he did report. And other justices have reported private jet travel. So and the justice ts have left for recess, but they have been trying to come up with a formal code to respond to this pressure. Some do not want to have this. They should be guided and trusted along. The first story talked about a mega donor. This latest reporting widens that group of billionaires. Ere are four altogether. You see them up there. If it you look at how much justices make, since he was on the court, his increase and other justices salary has increased to 285,000 a year. Listen to what Clarence Thomas said in 2001 about the pay. The job is not worth doing for what they pay. Its not worth doing for the grief. But it is worth doing for the principle. And listen, his job has gotten him access to the generosity of lots of billionaires awell. He is liveing pretty high on th hog. If you look at the Supreme Court, its at an alltime low in terms of the trust in the integrity of the Supreme Court. Some of that has to do with the decisions and some of that is partisan, but it also has to do with the stories that have trickled out over the last month, not only about Clarence Thomas, but other justices as well. Something clearly is going to have to be done. You have hopefully something will be at some point. As you bring that in, i want to go to a new statement from senator dick durbin, the chairman of the committee. They are looking into whats happing at the Supreme Court. This is a shameless lifestyle underwrittenor years by billionaires. Now its up to Justice Roberts and other justices to act on Ethics Reform to save their own reputations and the intelligritf the court. If the court will not act, then congress must. Heres the thing. This Story Reenforces The Idea whose dime are they on. They work for us. The best part of a Supreme Court justice is they set the Law Of The Land for all of us.

Com hire now a Cnn Exclusive interview with a woman in charge of President Bidens reelection campaign. She is the first latina to manage a president ial campaign. She is here now for her first Live Television interview. Thank you so much for coming in. I really appreciate it. I want to start with the news out of ohio this week. Record turnout in that election. It shows how potent abortion politics are. Even in an increasingly red state like ohio. What do you take away from the result there and where could other Ballot Measures work well for the Biden Reelection Campaign . Thank you so much for having me. Its great to be here. Were encourage d by what were seeing in ohio. Its another data point based on what we have seen really across the country and so many states and throughout midterm exactly that point that abortion is an important issue. Its an issue that is top of mind for many voters across this country. But its also about an indication of really the fundamental freedoms that folks want to continue to protect. And when President Biden and Vice President Harris Relaunched our campaign,s it was really focused on that of protecting the fund the the freedoms that we as americans have enjoyed tloult our lifetime. What about Ballot Initiatives . How much is that sort of on your Strategy List to push additional ballot initiate initiatives in swing states . Were going to continue to keep an eye on some of the critical efforts that are happening, especially our key Battleground States and see what are efforts that are helping motivate and mobilize voters right now and ensure they get to the polls. So no specifics yet . There are initiatives running in a couple states that are going through the process. Arizona, florida, others. The president has not always been entirely comfortable talking about the issue of abortion. How much will he personally engage on this issue . The president has been really forthright in understanding that roe got it right. And that throughout our lifetime, we have been afforded that right. Its something that needs to be restored. And when he and Vice President harris are reelected, something we will continue to ensure that roe is codified in this country. Hes going to lean into it . We have seen it as a core motivating factor for our coalition of voters and our base of support. Keeping the conversation going about enthusiasm. Just bigger picture, we have seen a lot of polls that show voters arent that enthusiastic about a joe biden reelection. Just last month, cnn had a poll that found 75 of democrat accic voters want someone else. How do you turn that around . We know polls are snapshots in time. We know its important that were not taking anything and vote for granted. This election cycle, were excited that we have built an incredible early start to our campaign. The enthusiasm that were seeing from a Broad Coalition of supporters, whether its through our National Advisory board members, a state and local elected officials or through the Historic Coalition of endorsements that we have received started with labor unions and women groups and conservation groups. Were really excited to see that enthusiasm. At the end of the day, we know that that is in stark contrast to the extreme agenda were continuing to see from republicans throughout the republican field. Lets talk about the 2024 elec electorate. The Republican Party has made gains with hispanic voters. Democrats still tend to win a majority, as you know, but data shows that was down to 60 in 2022 compared to 72 in the 2018 midterm. How are you going to reverse that downward trend among hispanic voters when it come s to democratic priorities . We know its really important to speak to the issues that really matter most to hispanic voters and to latino voters. I think President Biden and Vice President Harris Have Exemplify Ed some of the most core values to our Latino Community and our latino families. It is that of faith, of family, of hard work. So its going to be important for us. I say that our job as a campaign is to not take any voter or coalition of voters for granted and make sure that were really getting out and reaching latino voters where they are. We know its a very young electorate as wl. So making sure that were re reaching out via social media, youtube, all of the different platforms and networks where we know they consume their news. Does that downward trend concern you . What we have seen is a real stabilization in terms of the support as democrats have received from latinos. As you mentioned earlier, they still overwhelmingly support democrats. They know democrats are championing the issues that they care about. Electorate going even deeper. Nonwhite, noncollege educated voters, in 2020 the president won those voters by 46 points. In a 2024 matchup, this is according to a w york times poll, against donald trump, that lead shrinks to 16 points. Thats a 30drop. Again, i think we really the reason why we have the campaign now is to ensure were reaching out to all our voters to making sure were communicating with them what this president and Vice President have helped to deliver. That is historic achievements like the inflation reduction act, which will celebrate the anniversary next week thats combatting the climate crisis, lowering energy costs, its also lowering Prescription Drug costs and incredible investments in colleges and universities. So were going to continue to make sure that were communicating those core messages to the voters and reminding them that this is in stark contrast to what they are seeing from a republican field that continues to take more and more extreme positions like saying that slavery had some sort of redeeming value. You mentioned the republican field. Former President Trump did not say that, but he has been indicted three times, probably a fourth at the end of next week. Polls show that hes tie d with your candidate with the president. Thats got to be a warning sign. Were going to stay focused on ensuring that were communicate ing what this president has delivered for the american people. As we get out and talk to voters new opportunities to get union jobs that all of that is brought to them by President Biden and Vice President harris. So as we continue to reach out and take that message to voters, we know its a wing message. We know well see it again this election cycle. Just even earlier this week in a special election in august, democrats outperformed what was expected. What would you put on the biden 2024 bump er sticker . The president has leaned in on the notion that we need to invest in america. And we need to continue the kind of invest mment that were puttg forward in our infrastructure, in Working Families in our education system. Hes been able to bring American Manufacturing back to make sure that we are continuing to lead the world on so many fronts. Thats something well continue to lean in on ensure they have four more years to finish the job. I heard invest in america. Thank you. I really appreciate you coming on. Thank you.

What are Republican Voters looking for in a president ial candidate . In the first installment of his series, john king went to the Hawkeye State to see at the campaign and the country through their eyes. Reporter business is booming. This is a typical residential install. Reporter now running at 15 to 20 insulations a month. Chris motto says, yesterday, give the president some credit. The tack credit. But mudd is a lifelong republican, and hopes for a donald trump comeback. Do i think hes perfect . No. Personally im not a big fan of who he is, what he does and how he lives, but i think the decisions for the country were good. The Mutualed Mudd is living the American Dream and the american divide. A Business Jim Senior started years ago, employs people coast to coast. Two daughters are democrats. They still to come to thanksgiving dinner . They still come, we still love them. Why are they attacking him so hard . Does everybody believe everything that happened is exactly the way the government is laying out today . I dont. Reporter they dont watch and dont trust cnn. The reference for ronald reagan. Displayed by trumps distrust of about anything. I think everything was stolen from him. I know a lot of people that agree with him. Reporter criticisms of the prosecutions. Nothing about that deal is the american way, i dont think. Reporter and this if you think the United States should be supporting ukraine in the fight against putin, raise your hand. Nobody. You dont have to be that smart to put connect the dots, right . So, is the war to cover up sins committed so you can cover your tracks . Theres too much money thats been thrown over there. Do you think all the nato country was do what biden told them to do, because hes trying to cover up some hunter biden Business Deal by some it all depends on how zelenskyy and how much dirt he has on biden to keep the money coming. Reporter thats out there. No, weve well, how do you trust when you know the government has shut down facebook and shut down twitter and told them to not show certain news stories . Reporter a few days here makes clear that trumps grip is very strong, but roughly half of the party wants to move on, and they see their first in the nation vote as the best chance to derail him. The growth around des moines is stunning. The suburbs senior trumps kryptonite. I dont appreciate the negativity. Jocelyn is a single mother that manages projects. Tim scott intrigues her, sometimes desantis. Theres a lot of ugh around him. Reporter she is done it trumps gop. I see the party as a party of personality responsibility. For this man to still be on the National Stage representing the Republican Party is very troubling to me. Reporter they live a few miles apart, but dont know each other. Both voted for trump twice after supporting someone else in the caucuses. Both want someone new this time. Both think shop now, but in the Inderally Friends around one trump alternative. I think the moderates need to band together. Its kind of like a nobrainer. Sioux city is 200 miles from the des moines suber. Trump is much stronger here. Did you caucus . 2016 . Whether you like him or not, he has could rhythm. Charisma. I think we need to get rid of biden. I think we need to get rid of trump. I think we need to move on. Reporter forsythe and friend lisa are explorers fans. Mcgaffie not scouting a new candidate. Do you think hes an honest and trustworthy person . Yes. Yes. Reporter these warmup season.

Its like the whole opening of a Tucker Carlson show. Hes not there anymore, but that is what it is. They want to say why talk to these people . There are millions of them. This is a family thats an economic anchor in the community. It employed 80 people, in a part of a country thats been challenged economically the last 25 years. Theyre good people. They raise money for the girl scouts. They go to church, but they believe things that would fact check our machine. They dont trust us. This is a long conversation. I was grailful for their time and we had the exchange. Some of you see there, some of it is not on television. I hope you can go back. We can disagree, i can say that is wrong, but lets do it respectfully. Thats what the country misses. We have five seconds left, but theend are divide.
