Im Jim Acosta in washington tonight, perhaps the most important 90 minutes of this year as a polarized nation comes together for the only scheduled debate in this bitter race for the White House. This is the stage where Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will meet facetoface for the first time. With less than two months until election day. Both candidates are determined to find an edge heres why this New York Times Sienna College Poll i like some of the other polls out there showing no clear leader with both Harris And Trump locked in a statistical deadheat tonight. A chance to pull away he played with this really old and tired playbook, right . Where he, theres no floor for him in terms of how low he will go and we should be prepared for that. We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth and trumps Team Planning to treat Kamala Harris as the incumbent, tying her to the pr
Newsroom up next good morning you are live in the cnn newsroom. Im Jim Acosta in washington. We begin the hour with Donald Trump returning in front of a judge this morning as lawyers for the former President And E Jean Carroll are set to square off in manhattans federal Appeals Court Trump is seeking an appeal after a jury found he sexually abused and defamed the former columnist, awarding her 5 following a trial last year, the case is separate from the related Defamation Trial that was held earlier this year when a jury awarded carroll 83 Million in damages, Youll Recall that cnns Kristen Holmes is with me now.

And he was so disappointed in that, that 199 voted to support everything shes ever said. You know it was i think theres a thread to pullon, though, with the break down of those numbers. With 3 of those 11 being the 3 republican members of the house from South Florida all of whom were contacted by parkland families saying stand with us and not with her, please.
