>> but the lead with jake tapper starts right now some activists in michigan wants to show president biden, they can >> cost him the election if they want. the lead starts right now. the power of the vote in battleground michigan, how a small but determined group of democrats wants to seize this moment? to send a message to president biden. they are demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in gaza and military aid cut off to israel. they want democrats tomorrow to vote uncommitted instead for biden, i'm going to talk about it with congressman dean phillips. biden's top democratic challenger in the primary race, plus was alexey navalny, about to be released in a a prisoner swap with two americans, former marine paul whelan and wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich, aides of the anti-corruption activist, revealing negotiations that were apparently in the final stages for a russian hitman in german prison right before navalny died under suspicious circumstances. and that arctic penal colony plus the landmark case before the us supreme court, they could theoretically drastically change what you see on your social media media feeds. it would essentially discouraged content moderation, perhaps even allowing the most vile stuff under the banner of free speech onto your phone and laptop welcome to the lead. >> i'm jake tapper. we start today with our 2024 lead because we're just hours away from the opening of polling sites in the very first battleground state primary this is a state that delivered the white house to joe biden in 2020 is set to play a similarly important role this year tomorrow voters in michigan will head to the polls to cast their ballots in both the gop and democratic primaries on the republican side, donald trump is hoping to continue to steamroll his way to the republican nomination after trouncing nikki haley in her home state of south carolina saturday night but the dynamics on the democratic side will be something we have not seen so far this election cycle with some democratic officials and organizers asking michigan voters to vote for uncommitted instead of president joe biden or anyone else they are hoping enough protest votes will send a message to the white house that they are unhappy in michigan with the president's handling of how israel is conducting the war in gaza the effort is headed by a group called listen to michigan, led by the sister of democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib. the group is calling on biden to demand an immediate ceasefire and to stop sending military aid to israel. unclear what its position is on hamas or hamas releasing the hostages. they've been holding cnn's dianne gallagher is on the ground in michigan speaking to these organizers who say, while this uncommitted campaign is just about the primary as of right now. it should also learn the serve as a larger warning to president biden about what could theoretically happen in november if he does not listen to them >> a pivotal november battleground, the road to the white house runs through michigan. you don't win without michigan. >> but some democrats are using tuesday's primary to put president joe biden on notice a warning to biden and his administration that they need to hear our calls and heat our demands and respond to what it is that we're asking for, which is an >> immediate and permanent ceasefire using their ballots to protest the president's handling the war in gaza by voting uncommitted in the democratic primary. >> it's a humanitarian vote. it's a protest vote. the grid grassroots. listen to michigan campaign, vote uncommitted, launched by members of the state's large arab community. just three weeks ago has expanded to count progressive than young voters among its supporters, like pontiac city councilman, mikel goodman because we are often told many times that the power that we have assistance in the us is through the power of the ballot. and this is us using that no one who his voting uncommitted once trump they want what is happening in gaza to stop more than 30 state and local elected officials endorsed the campaign as did rachida to leave the first palestinian american woman to serve in congress if you want us to be louder then come here and vote uncommitted >> organizers safe for most today's message is about the primary, but there's a lingering warning. >> you need to call for a ceasefire because it will save lives and because it's the necessary thing to do politically, otherwise, you, president biden will be handing the white house to donald trump. >> the biden campaign has acknowledged michigan's importance in this election. but allies of the president aren't quite sounding alarms over the uncommitted primary strategy yet. >> i'm hoping and expecting that these folks will come vote for joe biden in november. but right now, they have an issue they want to brought attention to and it's working. that's why we have in early presidential primary, the uncommitted campaign's goal is modest our threshold is 10,000. uncommitted votes. >> because that >> strategy is based off of the numbers that trump won in 2016 against hillary clinton in 2020, biden won michigan getting by more than 150,000 votes. but some biden supporters like former congressman andy levin, say the president's prospects this november are uncertain. >> i mean, i'm gonna do everything i can to get him elected in november. all i'm saying is i don't know if we can succeed unless we change course. and by the way, it's the right thing to do. >> he says he voted uncommitted in the primary, not because his support for the president is wavering. >> well, i think the great danger for joe biden here in the michigan primary is that he would win with no indication that he has a problem with no visibility of how angry people are now they're goal, this primary maybe a nod to 2016, but this >> variation goes all the way back to 2008 when the uncommitted vote came in second to hillary clinton with 40% after then candidate barack obama and john on edwards remove their name from the ballot after the dnc punished michigan for moving its primary. now, jake organizers say that this is a warning shot also cause some of these voters, this is not political, this is personal for them. >> and that >> if they aren't going to vote for joe biden in november, they may just leave it blank or in their opinion, even worse, stay home altogether in november, the secretary of state announcing just a few moments ago, already over 1 million early and absentee votes have been tapped in this primary here in michigan all right. >> dianne gallagher, in dearborn, michigan for us. thanks so much. look for special coverage of tomorrow's primary races in michigan as the polls close, we're going to have results analysis. i'm going to lead coverage along with anderson cooper starting at 08:00 p.m. eastern, right here on cnn, turning now to our worldly, the united states and germany were in early discussions for a prisoner swap this month that would have traded putin critic alexey navalny and to americans detained in russia for a convicted russian assassin, currently imprisoned in germany, according to a western official, this proposal was apparently in the works just before navalny's untimely demise, although that official tells cnn no formal offer had been made prior to navalny's death, the two us citizens were likely haven't gerson chicago verge of the wall street journal and former marine paul whelan. but when asked by cnn's matthew chance kremlin spokesperson dmitry peskov said he knew nothing about such an agreement. matthew chance reports now for us from russia as navalny's family makes plans to finally put him to rest mona's still paying their respects. at makeshift memorials across russia. but now another unexpected twist in alexey navalny's tragic saga according to his close aide negotiations for the release of the russian opposition leader. we're reaching a conclusion he was poised to be swapped, say his team, before he suddenly died >> while name navalny should have been free in the coming days because we achieved a decision on his exchange. >> yeah, paula chill up with dana. i received confirmation that >> negotiations were underway and we're at the final stage on the evening of february 15. on february 16, alexey was killed >> the kremlin tells cnn it has no knowledge of any deal and had nothing to do with his death but navalny's team insists the russian opposition figure was killed to prevent him from being swapped. you can see evan gershkovich's in there. hi matthew from cnn swapped along with us citizens in russian jails like wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich, accused of espionage former us marine paul whelan, serving 16 years for spine. >> i am innocent of any charge. >> the us says both are unlawfully detained and has been negotiating for their release. although there's no confirmation, navalny was part of any talks but the kremlin has regularly hinted it wants back this man, a former fsb agent, vadim krasikov, serving a life sentence in germany for killing a chechen dissident the valleys team accuses the kremlin, have simply taking the opposition leader off the negotiating team table by kylian allegations, the kremlin denies putin's shortcut dalip and yet he was clearly communicated to putin are the only way to get krasikov is to exchange him for navalny >> hold on. >> putin. i can't tolerate navalny being free. and since they're willing to exchange krasikov in principle than i just need to get rid of the bargaining chip >> no person. in other words, nope problem. to kind of ruthlessness that saw alexey navalny poisoned with nerve agent novichok in 2020 recovering only to be arrested and imprisoned on his return to russia the following year after news of his unexplained death, hundreds of mourners were detained while laying flowers now, navalny's team says a public farewell. potential flashpoints will be held at the end of this week in death as in life, it seems alexey navalny continues to challenge the kremlin's power well, jake has currently no exact time or place been given by navalny's team for the funeral of the late opposition leader this team saying they have yet to find a venue that is willing think to host. what promises, promises to be such an acutely political event. >> all right, cnn's matthew chance in moscow, russia for us. thank you so much. >> turning >> to ukraine now, now in its third already brutal year of war with russia today, russia and ukraine confirmed ukrainian troops retreated from the village of lastochkyne, kenna, less lastochkyne, rather just three miles northwest of avdiivka, where russia raised its flag last week. now ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is warning, quote, millions will be killed, millions, he said without us aid. cnn's kaitlan collins just sat down with zelenskyy as he weighed in on a potential second trump presidency >> donald trump appears that he is on the verge of becoming the republican nominee for president the last time i interviewed him, he refused to say if he wanted ukraine or russia to win this war. are you prepared for him to be reelected? >> the decision who over the decision of your society. but one moment i hope it's not, i hope it will not be so. but this way, but but anyway if donald trump doesn't, doesn't know who he will support ukraine or russia i think that's he will have challenges with his suicide because to support russia it means be against americans and you can see more of kaitlan's interview with president zelenskyy tonight on the source, which airs at 09:00 p.m. eastern, right here on >> cnn, coming up democratic

going for a jog on the campus of the university of georgia, the suspect in her brutal killing is facing charges including felony murder and his status as an undocumented venezuelan migrants is now renewing the debate over immigration policies. in fact, the suspect had already been arrested first in 2022 after entering the us illegally, then again last september, charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17, and also a motor vehicle license violation. the suspect is released before a detainer could be issued according to us immigrations and customs enforcement or ice all of which has prompted many in georgia to wonder why this violent man was allowed to remain in the us for so long after so many red flags. cnn's ryan young is in athens, georgia. ryan tell us about the atmosphere at these vigils. >> jake really wasn't a dry and the facility of where we were standing, if thousands of students showed up for this visual today, and i can tell you some of them were upset in real time. they were checking but people around them to make sure this was a focus on the two lives have been lost at this campus. i say two lives because one young man apparently took his life about a day before ms riley died and obviously this whole campus is coming together around that sorrow for a lot of the kids here. this really pierce their bubble. what's surrounded them in terms of this campus, this is largest university in the state of georgia, some 40,000 students attend this. and there hasn't been a murder on this campus. and some 20 years. so you can understand why some of them or so emotionally connected to what happened here. we've talked to so many students who say they now don't feel safe walking across campus. and let's not forget here this was a young lady who apparently love to run the trails. and as she was writing a trail in broad daylight somewhat attacked her. and the us blunt force trauma to kill her. and that's something that stood out to so many people. we know police use some of the video cameras in the area to attract that on the suspect. i'm jose a. birra and he's 26. and as you said, an undocumented immigrant who had many field should have been kicked out of this country before this ever happened. but now there are so many questions when you look at the visual, so many people were crying, so many young people went home this weekend because they said they did not feel safe on this campus. and as you expand that out there, asking some questions about what will happen next. and as we remember, the young student who was 20 to one of her friends stood up there and said, she loved sweets. she'd love to talk to her friends, and she loved jogging. and that's what she was doing. unfortunately, when someone took her life and as we've been told before, by that corner, it was blunt force trauma. now, the question is move forward in terms of what will happen next. there's a gofundme for the family that's set up for her foundation. there's other her nursing compadres came out here to show their support for as well. but honestly, jake, this is one of those mosul mosul times i've seen from a student body in terms of how they came together, held hands, and cried for a good amount of time. this campus has been shaken to its core, >> jack, ryan young, it's just not fair >> thank you so much >> coming up more on the debate about

days away. and at this hour, lawmakers on capitol hill do not have any deal to avoid it. republicans and democrats are clashing over what are called policy riders yesterday in a letter to colleague senate democratic leader chuck schumer wrote that he hopes republican house speaker johnson, quote, will step up to once again buck these stream is done. his caucus to do the right thing. he wants to add the funding for ukraine and funding for israel into there can you bring resolution? the speaker fired back on twitter or x accusing schumer of adding new democrat demands into the negotiations, writing at a time of divided government, senate democrats are attempting at this late stage to spend on priorities that are farther left than what their chamber agreed on. let's bring in the political panel to discuss this and much, much more. doug, let me start with you as speaker johnson's want again once again, back in a box is gonna have to choose whether or not he works with democrats to avoid a shutdown or lose his job if he does so by the way, or stick with his coalition and there's a government shutdown. and whenever things are going bad for house republicans seems to happen a lot. patrick mchenry likes to quote the talking heads, same as it ever was same as it ever was. he knows that a lot because this happens a lot here we are again. and the reality is, there are no good options on the table here. nobody knows exactly what's going to happen on this because because of the very dynamics you laid out there, republicans have put themselves between a rock and a hard place. and i think overestimated and this is what happened in 2013 when we had a shutdown, would a republican house with not a big majority a democratic senate, and a democratic president. we thought that we had all the chips and the reality is, we just didn't adrian that tomorrow. president biden is going to meet with four top members of congress hoping to avoid the shutdown pretty important for him to show leadership at this moment, i would think. >> yeah, absolutely. i think he's doing the right thing and, you know, who knows what's gonna happen. we i spent ten years working on the hill. i think i live there to government shutdowns and we certainly didn't see it like we are now, which is no, every time we get to the end of the cr, it feels like this is going to happen. it gives doing resolution the funding of the government exactly, exactly. so i think president biden is being very smart by coming in and trying to sort of perhaps broker a peace agreement between these two sides. but look, speaker johnson isn't a challenging situation because if he does anything in terms of working with democrats, we saw this happen on immigration. he will lose his speakership so i mean, i don't feel too sorry for the guy, but that is the situation. knees in and we'll see what happens. >> and republicans are asking for things they've attached riders to, like, they want to eliminate the salary for the secretary of the department of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas. i mean, it doesn't really seem as though that's an attempt to find some sort of agreement that's not the most substantive argument that we could be making right now for sure >> president >> biden is set to make a rare trip to the u.s.-mexico border on thursday. he isn't alone. former president trump also plans to visit the border at eagle pass, texas is a little more than 300 miles away from biden, who will be in brownsville, texas. that will be the same day. and adrian, this will be the first time biden has gone to the border since january of 2023 >> do you think >> this is an acknowledgement that this issue is a much bigger deal than he wanted it to be. >> yeah. i think certainly an acknowledgment. i think it's really smart that he's going down to the border, but i think it's also the white house playing offense on this. i mean, we had it's stork bipartisan agreement between democrats and republicans that, you know, a bunch of people have been working on moderates in both on both sides of the aisle for a long time and it just died because republicans wouldn't let it get, get through. so i think the administration is actually going to start leaning into this. i think the campaign is going to start leaning into this. not being other defense, but by being on the offense and saying, we democrats, we the biden-harris administration are the ones who want to find a compromise on dealing with the situation at the border. unlike republicans who have sorted, this is their top priority, but when given the chance to actually get something constructive, dan, they failed to do so. >> so republicans obviously seizing on this horrific tragedy at the university of georgia this girl, this nursing student, killed by an undocumented venezuelan migrant. and they're seizing on this as an example of biden's failure to protect the american people, to secure the border today, president trump posted on his social media site truth, social quote, when i am your president, we will immediately seal the border stopped the invasion. and on day one one, we will begin the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals in american history. may god bless laken riley and her family. that's the poor nursing student that was killed. our prayers are with you. what's your reaction to that? well, first obviously it's a tragedy and we should we should recognize that before the politics enter this. but what's not be naive politics under these things? it's very quickly and donald trump knows how to take advantage of a situation like this and exploited, that's true adrian and i worked in the california delegation together in the house of representatives, and i think if you would said to either of back then that we could have gotten a deal between republicans and democrats of the likes that we got just a few weeks ago. that it would've been impossible. no way could republicans get so many concessions from democrats? and then not end up with a deal. so we're still in this situation essentially because we have problems with what the president's been able to do and problems with where republicans are and being able to get anything through their own party. and that's that isn't changing. so that's interesting because the republican at the table here are saying that the fact that trump torpedoed this compromise actually undermines the republican argument about the dangers posed by individuals like this document, immigrant from venezuela. >> yeah, >> exactly. right. i mean, again, here is a historic deal that both sides that could have passed the house, could have easily passed the house with democrats and republican votes. but republicans weren't cotton. a situation where they didn't realize, i think that this actually this deal would come to fruition, would would be so constructed in a way that both sides would agree. and they said, oh, my gosh, wait, isn't election years in 2024, presidential election, your week can't show any sort of concession on the border. we can't give democrats what we consider it would consider to be a win. so they struck it, and now they're coming back and saying, well, we're not going to let this go through or this legislation got through unless a deal on the border, it's ridiculous. i think the american people see through this and by the way, democrats are going to remind the american people ever murray single day that we did have a deal on the border. and it was the republicans are obstructed it, not the democrats. >> trump's the great dealmaker. he keeps telling us this was a deal that he couldn't make and ultimately, house republicans could have they got, they got the language senate republicans certainly, they just ultimately didn't want to because we have to bend to donald trump every time that he wants us to all right, thanks to both. you really appreciate it. should your state leaders have any control

both arguing that social media companies will too much power, too much political influence once, and that they, meaning their states, texas and florida, should be allowed to prevent facebook and other sites from deleting or demoting the posts of users and their states. the states say the laws are necessary to keep social media platforms from discriminating against conservatives. match yours is with us now in studio, he's the president of the computer and communications industry association that is involved in this case. he's lobbying for tech companies to be able to self-regulate as opposed to states being in charge. so this would change the internet as we know it, if the state it's get what they want, that's right. this would dramatically change >> the landscape of the internet. we brought this suit to vindicate the first amendment rights of websites to make editorial choices about what kinds of content is appropriate for their communities. and that's because it's through those decisions that websites deliver on the kind of experience and community that they've promised to us. and then along come florida and texas and say, no, we're going to decide we're going to dictate what kind of content is appropriate. >> so people who watch this show know we've talked about this before, section 230, which is the federal immunity law for tech platforms engaging in content moderation. texas as section 230 basically says that just to give an example, facebook is not responsible for what nazis post on a site or in a post and they can't be held liable for it. they tried to do some content moderation, but they can't be liable. some people just want to get rid of 230, which would really end a lot of social media sites. now, today, justice, amy, amy coney barrett, called section 230 and landmine mine. what's your take on it? you think you are and the social media companies you're in favor of section 230 section to 30 is a critical cornerstone to how websites moderate content. it gives them the flexibility to implement different policies and remove content and take action without the risk that those decisions will lead to liability. >> but this case here, >> this is a first amendment case. it's about webs. weather website should have that discretion at all. >> and >> when florida and texas come along and say you have to disseminate all viewpoints what does that mean? god bless america and death to america, or both viewpoints. websites don't want to treat that kind of content equally and their users don't want that in their advertisers don't want that. in fact, i would have thought florida and texas don't want that either, but today an argument, i heard texas tell the highest court in this land that websites under its law would have to treat pro al-qaeda content the same way as anti-terrorist content. and frankly that's madness. >> so let's talk about some of the content that gets into these, areas because i remember during the worst of the pandemic sometimes people would post something about covid. and, the government would be offended by it, or think it was wrong. now sometimes it was wrong. >> other times it was just >> premature and a lot of times there were censorship of that. some of the stuff, for example, like whether or not covid came from a lab leak was just ahead of its time actually, but people were worried. oh, well, that's again, you're, you're encouraging racism against asian americans, et cetera. that gets into some of the tricky areas that we're talking about here, right? i mean, i'll canada that's easy enough to say no al-qaeda. but what about stuff that like the government says like this actually is damaging to the nation's trust in our health institutions during a time of covid. >> well, first let me say if it was easy enough, it probably wouldn't have come up in oral argument today, but i think to your broader question, yeah. there's no question that websites have to make difficult decisions in real time about an nearly infinite number of subjects. and when they're making billions of decisions like that, not everyone is going to agree with every decision on every time topic, but that's why we have a marketplace of ideas websites get to compete on the different kinds of policies they provide. some have very free flowing, loose policies about what kind of contents appropriate in their community. others have very strict policies. maybe they try and target one community for or another, but the solution to this, if we think those decisions aren't aren't being made it right, isn't to have the state come in and say, we don't like your editorial choices. so now you have to host nazism. that's just inappropriate. sure. i hear what you're saying. i think that as a user of social media, i have watched social media try to adapt and i recognize it's challenging obviously, but also i think that the more social media companies shirk their responsibility, the more they're inviting intrusive government to step in and right now, i see that facebook and other organizations, twitter certainly earn x whatever it is are not taking a position when it comes to false information about the election, like in 2020 but then also like twitter or x as it's called now as a cesspool of anti-semitism and racism. it's under the banner of free speech but i don't even know if there's barely any content moderation do you see as somebody who represents the industry, do you see what i'm talking about? >> there's certainly a broad diversity of viewpoints and policies online at different websites deal with this in different ways. and certainly some folks are going to find that some policies aren't to their liking. they're going to vote with their mouse. they're going to click to a different site. there's always a competing service. a few clicks away. and that's how the marketplace will decide what kinds of content consumers want to see. on the other side of that advertisers are making the same decision because it's not just our choice is its advertising choices as well. >> and when and advertisers vote with their dollars. that also has an impact. now, none of this is to say that websites don't have broad policies and there is an entire community of practice to try and promote trust and safety online. there are best practices out there. and so there's a constant evolving process here, but the solution that florida and texas this is, is that the state gets to be the referee of what happens on these websites. and i think that's a terrible idea. and i think the questions in today's arguments suggests that the court does as well. >> yeah. i mean, i just think that as somebody who is on the side of free speech, but also on the side of like, there shouldn't be death threats against individuals like social media companies seem to be going in the wrong direction in invading this government intrusion, which you don't want, which they don't want, which i personally don't think is appropriate for the government to be making these decisions anyway, we're not going to solve this problem right now. match here is these are difficult issues, thanks so much coming up
