Donald trump putting the Campaign Trail Today in deep blue bronx, new york. One question, why . Another question . Will he be thinking, nikki haley . Today . And theres also new video coming into it shows the aftermath of a relentless attack on ukraines secondlargest city of kharkiv. Ukraines president , putting the blame for that fact on a lack of air defenses and a president ial Campaign Rally turned into a nightmare. Nine people are dead. Why that candidate in mexico . The this facing real questions, this morning. Im kate fatherinlaw, john berman. Amara walker is in for sarah. This is Cnn News Central all right, this morning its not a big surprise that nikki haley will vote for donald trump, even though she has said hes too old to unhinged and to chaotic to be president. But there are Big Questions from trump these numbers matter a lot to trump right now after nikki haley dropped out of the race she still picked up notable votes and five state primaries. And this morning, her message to her ms clear, dont assume these voters are with you. Will he thank her an appeal to her voters later today when he heads to the incredibly blue area of the brocks, he got trounced there in 2020. Cnns Kristen Holmes is joining me now. So kristin, of course, the big question is, Will Trump Utter those words, nikki haley, when please on that Stage Tonight will emmer. There are certainly those in trumps orbit who hope that he does not only mentioned her name, but his gracious about it, but i will remind you that they also hoped that he would be gracious when she suspended her campaign and we saw that he was well not really at all. But when i talked to republicans across the country, they say they really hope that donald trump starts to court these nikki haley voters. You put up some of those numbers of republicans voting in primaries after halley had dropped out in critical battleground states the most jarring really being in pennsylvania where she got 16 of the vote again, in a state, the Donald Trumps team believes they need to win. So whether or not donald trump is going to start courting those voters remains to be seen, but he is going to be up in new york today in the bronx trying to Court Minority voters. Now this was planned before court wrapped on tuesday. They had tried to plan a series of different events around this state of new york because he could only travel on Wednesdays And Saturdays and sundays outside of the state when he didnt have court. However, they are doubling down on this rally. They say that there are thousands of people that they expect to be there. We will obviously be there to see whether or not that is true. But donald trump has continued to insist that he could win new york pork or at least make a play for new york even said that last night in a truth social post, i will remind you that no republican has one in the states since 1984 that is a statistic to keep in mind. All right, Kristen Holmes. Thank you very much. John. For this morning, new reaction from lawmakers after report found photos of a second controversial flat a flag that was used by some january 6 rioters flying over Justice Samuel alitos vacation home. K casebook with the chair of the Senate Judiciary committee, senator dick durbin. This is what he said you start to wonder, is this just a chance in discretion, or is it a conscious declaration of his maga loyalty . I mean that is not expected when it comes to the Supreme Court, we expect the men and women on that court to be above this sort of activity you and you say, when you start to wonder which do you think it is . Another listen, i dont think its a coincidence in the second instance, i think he is speaking pretty clearly as to his political loyalties this is shane remember thats the chair of the Senate Judiciary committee with me now is the former director of Strategic Communications for Donald Trumps 2020 campaign. Mark lauder, also with this veteran democratic strategist and consult with Simon Rosenberg simon what do you see going on here its a tragedy. I mean, i think the corruption of the judiciary and the Supreme Court is a major issue. I mean, this is now important American Institution which appears to be compromised and to be on the verge of illegitimacy. And its going to matter. I mean, the simple thing that can happen now that alito should do is you should recuse himself from any of the discussions of january 6 or trump in the elections that would be a simple step forward trend to take and relieve. I think a lot of the concerns about the corruption weve seen with Clarence Thomas and the things that hes done. This year. But this is a crisis. I think were in an we have a crisis in one of our most important institutions and its something that we have to discuss and its going to be a major part of the conversation in this election so mark, even if you dont see this as a fly connected to january 6, we should note that Speaker Mike Johnson has flown this flag outside his office periodically over time. Even if you dont see it as a january 6 flag should a Supreme Court justice be flying a flag that has political implications at all well, i mean, i think thats up to each of those justices to design that, but i mean, i remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg basically coming out and trashing donald trump. She didnt recuse herself on any of the cases that came before her that involved the former for president. So look, i mean, our our justices all have their own personal political beliefs. Theyre able to do that. That is their right. The question is, how did they rule on the law . And i think obviously Justice Alito is probably one of the most respected constitutional scholars. There is an regardless of his personal political leanings or that of his family as long. As it doesnt interfere with his interpretation of the constitution. And i think its just americans being americans. Look, i just that gives berg actually ultimately sort of apologize for that for coming out. The statement you made about donald trump do you feel are you comfortable . With the justice advertising their political beliefs mark i im concerned about how they rule on the law. We often have people who have personal political beliefs, but they have to set those aside when it comes to administering the law or executing justice, or the laws of america. So so long as hes able to do that, then he has my full confidence. All americans have their personal beliefs. Sometimes we have to set them aside to do our work and what yet, but Supreme Court justices arent all americans that are pretty select group of nine people held to a different standard by some, although no specific legal standard, it does turn out i want to play some sound from Steve Bannons podcast over the last 24 hours where he was reacting to a discussion apparently about Donald Trumps statement that he wanted to be a dictator only on day one. But listen to what steve mann and said son we mark your fear. We want you to fear its gonna be accountability. Accountability responsibility and that will come with authority. The authority of Donald John Trump is 47th president of the United States basically simon saying, you will be held to account. We want your fear. What do you think the message is that thats listen, i think we have to every day that we engage in these conversations, we have to remember that in 20 donald trump tried to overturn and legitimate American Election and install himself as a dictator in the United States. And he did it through an armed attack on the capitol. Once youve done Something Like that, i dont know that you need any more information about the intention of where hes going or where hell go in a second term i mean, we have a guy who has tried to end american democracy for all time once he decided that he needed to run again so he could finish the job in january 2025. And i think that this is a central area of engagement and this election, the Democratic Party us preserve and strengthen american democracy through republicans want to end it. Lets have that debate in this election, more. You seem like a positive guy. I mean, what do you think of a campaign thats run on welcoming the fear of political opponents well, i think what hes saying is basically that the America First movement, the Maga Movement is tired of platitudes. They want action, they expect whether its the president , whether its a member of congress, that when we elect you and you say and campaign on doing something, we expect you to get it done. I think one of the big takeaways back from 2016 and now moving forward that we dont want just are politicians in washington, dc to talk. We want them to actually solve the problems. And so i think what you saw there with feedback and it seemed say that whether you are a republican or a democrat, if youre gonna be elected, we expect you do things on behalf of the American People and not just talk about it Nikki Haley Says she is voting for donald trump, simon, i put this to both of you who needs nikki haley voters more . President biden, or donald trump, simon first you the arctic. This is going to be an area of engagement by both parties. I mean, we know from pulling that a large number of nikki haley voters are very open to voting for joe biden now the two campaigns are going to have to go compete to go when those voters, but i think its important to recognize that the Republican Party has splintered. I mean, the opposition to trump inside the Republican Party, to former Vice President s former Party Nominee for Vice President ial nominee former speaker of the house, many dozens and dozens of elected officials officials who served under trump in the administration are openly campaigning against donald trump. Weve never seen this kind of opposition inside a party by Party Leaders against their nominee. And so i think the danger for trump is that, look, he lost the last election. He needs more voters. These voters are much more important to him. Then us and hes got ive been a little surprised how the campaign has been handling this to date. Marks gotta be quick. How bad is donald trump need nikki haley, voters i. Think both sides dated, but the benefit is that we have the policy and the results on our side. People do not like joe bidens inflation immigration. And if you want to see an end of it, you cant vote for joe biden, personality differences. Those will get put aside. People are going to want to see a change in direction, but american got it, signs and inflation is coming down. But i take your point mark lottery, Simon Rosenberg. Thanks to both of you so there is new video in of what the ukrainian president describes as an extremely brutal russian attack.

Well, okayed, were learning that at least 70 people are being treated for injuries in relation to that tragedy. Thankfully no more deaths on updates. Nine people have been killed. One of them, just like he said either minor, but in the early hours of this thursday, kait, were learning from cnn web 13 in atlanta. What could possibly have happened for the stage to collapse. They sent us in the last hour, a fresh new reports about the conditions in monterey is saying that the stage it was impacted by a gust front. They said which is when gusty winds push out in all directions from thunderstorm that these can cause winds to suddenly pick up. And if you see those terrifying images that were receiving from social media out across mexico. You can see that the wind is very pretty precedent that the candidates were on the stage same gainer, and chanting Campaign Slogans when All Of A Sudden the windsor suddenly pick up and cause they stay which to collapse. Now, the main question hanging over mexico this morning, katie, is, how could these events take place . So because we know that the mexican mythological service he said he be sure a stark warning about these possibility with Winds Forecaster two up to 40 Miles Per Hour and late last night, the mexican president ial candidate, Jorge Alvarez manias, was on that stage said that such a tragedy was very hard to forecast you can listen to what he said to be do is go more into wrong came what happened was a strong wind that must have lasted five minutes maximum and took down trees is quite hence, theres a lot of News Coverage about it.

According amara new overnight seven people are dead. 23 had been injured in the North Eastern ukrainian city of kharkiv after what ukrainian president is linsky called an extremely brutal russian attack. The images coming out of the area are extremely District Kirby official say, all ten strikes hit civilian infrastructure are Nick Paton Walsh is in Eastern Ukraine right now. Nick, can you tell us more about where things stand with russias offensive in ukraines largest second largest city. And well ukraine most importantly, be able to hold on look this horrifying tack in kharkiv this morning and about 10 00, it shook us, frankly in the supermarket that we he was standing and even though it was kilometers away, appear to be two locations hit we know about one of them are Printing Press where it appears the seven individuals dies. We drove past that area near a well retract. We think and saw firefighters crouching for cover because one common tactic seen now is one missile hits the target and a second one lands. Moments later to try and get the rescue as the First Responders who rushed to help absolutely brutal president Volodymyr Zelenskyy of ukraine, referring to this as an example, frankly, of the world failing ukraine to give them the air defenses they need to hold these missiles back. But amara, weve been seeing over the past days, russia pushing for went through Kharkiv Region from its border down towards ukraine second city. And we were in one of the key towns or villages that ukraine simply cannot lose moscow wants to get its artillery within range of that million strong city. So it can inflict regular damage like that. We just been talking about. Heres what we saw in a key town, lip see that putin so desperately needs some towns. They can never let putin take. And this lyptsi is one of them destroyed artillery on the streets homes, aflame from an airstrike. They can only move at night lights off its a perilous grip they keep. But lose here and Russian Artillery will be in range of ukraines second city, kharkiv you can still smell the smoke here from an airstrike that landed just in the last hour or so is life under the dran, with the first porters into the heart of the town only Soldiers Left here on the ground. The harb 13th National Guard first tackled russias new Offensive Assembly by actually equipment so polite each. Do you think theyll good enough fortifications here . They will only show to the peanut his signature obviously the lower the loss knowledge ten incipient the dolan in prophecy new is going dr. Get up. There were eight airstrikes just in the last hour. So we leave soon a positive noise nearest, very close. And the only way they know whos drone this is, is if it attacks are the most thrown off around kharkiv that id have enough guns and the russians have too many drones but 92nd Assault Brigade show us something that isnt even theres Russian Artillery piece that they captured in the first war and the fighting in Kharkiv Region. And now they use strangely french mortar rounds to fire from here its just a sign of how little appropriate ammunition they have available to them the throne of this wire as a protection from at levy drones above easy to drone with two battery packs, a longrange scout around basement. It is not friendly if you can tell its an attack drone, hide this seems to be a scout, so running is better before it calls and shelling another Artillery Unit wants to show us something not even russian, but soviet made in the 1940s. It can still find newer polish shells. In the autumn, it was 100 a day. Now it is ten extraordinary to see something here thats three times the age of either these two guys holding backer, new russian offensive in 2024 i said a metal so old that limits the number of times that sound warms another drone is incoming and back in the bunker, they show us the online board, 30 gadget that is their best Warning Mechanism the team here. Embody ukraines exhaustion and resilience older guys wounded Infantry Measure our tour has Drone Shrapnel in his arm still no pick option. You will could you just saw an orlan russian drone passing overhead . So saying but a stance on the way back into the city, we see what fuels this defense. This was a lakeside resort, football cocktails, a beach extraordinary devastation in there to collect the bodies mobile, mobile a seven months pregnant women was among the seven dead here another body found later just fragments in the mulch russias advance looms over whatever life persists Belching Out Over Holmes the dark is little salvation this may be a drone being hit, but they killed two when they crash and failure flares, breach the enforced Blackout Moscow is getting nearer again. And theyre always too many blasts before door nothing. Its important just to understand here the relentless less and the patience of russias military here, there may not have massive headlines sweeps through to a city like that. But to its north lyptsi continually under pressure day after day and eventually it does hey, off that pushing multiple prongs along that Border Frontline and also two in the east, taking advantage of ukraines desperate need to rush reinforcements to defend kharkiv, leaving gaps in their defenses, make no mistake were likely to see russian advances and insignificant fashion the weeks ahead because they just stretching ukraines so thin right now, im just so striking to see the second hand, third hand, fourth hand weapons all weapons as you pointed out, that they are using their on the front lines in ukraine.

Today alone. Cnn Aviation Correspondent and insync backup dancer pete mateen is with us this morning. This is gonna be a busy weekend i would have been the cute one, john, the russia officially starts today according to aaa and its really five days of bumper to Bumper Traffic in some spot, especially those beach areas. But it really also extends to maybe a bit of gridlock in the air and on airport tarmac, as you mentioned, the faa says today will be the the biggest de of the Holiday Weekend in terms of the number of flights scheduled, more than 53,000 flights scheduled in the us today, American Airlines says 6,200 of those flights will be its own metal.

And this past sunday were huge when 2. 8 Million People were screened at airports nationwide, the tsa says it will probably see a similarly huge number today and even more people tomorrow. One tsa checkpoints are expected to hit their peak of the Holiday Weekend. Here is the big tip from tsa especially if he cut a close like me get to the airport two hours early, not only will the lines belong at security, but also line its getting into the airport. Theres gonna be a lot of car traffic.

Now, in a statement, Cassie Ventura thanked her supporters for the outpouring of love and also wrote, my only ask is that everyone open your heart to bleeding victims . The first time she goes on to say, i offer my hand to those still living in fear no one should carry this weight alone days after the video aired, combs issued combs issued an apology of sorts. He had previously denied vehemently venturas allegations of assault which were the basis of a nowsettled federal lawsuit that she filed back in november. Now, if you or someone, you know, it was a victim of Domestic Violence and need help, you can call the Domestic Violence hotline. That number is when 80799 safe. Again, thats 18007, 9723 three all right. Any moment now the president s of several major universities are set to testify before congress about recent protests on their campuses, just last week, demonstrations on uclas campus ended in violent clashes when counterprotesters tried to take down a propalestinian encampment well, this morning we will hear from uclas president along with the president s of ruckers and northwestern, cnns matt egan joining me now with more on what to expect them in the last time we saw here when like this, it didnt really go well for are some of the president s right at these universities thats right number i think we can expect some fireworks and a good amount of good old fashion political theater. This is the third hearing on campus antisemitism. The first one was back in december and dan one wins so terribly for the University Cities that within weeks two of the three president s from harvard and pen, were out of jobs then there was the columbia hearing last month. Theyre really set the stage for those who historic protests on campus. Now were talking about rutgers. You seal that n northwestern and look, i think that these College President s, they have the advantage of going after the other her earrings, so they kind of know the line of questioning, but they also the disadvantage of testifying at a moment of his historic turmoil on campus. And these president s, they are facing pressure really from all sides, right . I mean, republicans and donors have accused them of sort of allowing and tolerating antisemitism on campus, which is something that day deny. But then you hear from students and faculty who fears though they feel like some of the protesters have actually been silenced. So this is going to be a very challenging moment for these College President s, rutgers, northwestern, theyre going to face questions about the agreements that they reached with the propalestinian protests. Theres and the ucla chancellor, hes going to face some tough questions about that violence that happened on campus, specifically the counter counterprotesters attacking the propalestinian protests are so a lot to come in the next few hours in this front, amara, well, watch closely with you, madigan.

And also a group of voters that recent polls show are warming to donald trump despite the fact that 83 of the bronx vote in 2021 to biden and biden also won the whole state in 2020. Donald from sayss he can win New York State this time around with a big, if you really think theres a chance that new york blue state could be in play this election season well, i do if we can have an honest election and if we can let the facts out joining me right now, republican congresswoman from new york, nicole malliotakis, congresswoman. Thank you so much for taking time. Donald trump there. Hes again questioning if the election in questioning, throwing out the possibility of questioning over election result, the difference is, this time hes questioning the reliability potentially of the Election Results in new york, throwing out the possibility of not trusting the outcome of new york elections. Do you question the Election Results in new york, including the results of your election from 2020 well i think, that new york has a very good system in place with our voting in fact, New York Post did report unfortunately that there were a few dead people well, that did vote in our elections in 26, 28 been a 2020 rather. But the issue is that regardless of that, i do believe that we have the ability to have a Fair Election in new york, and i do believe that President Trump is right when he says that we have the ability to potentially win new york, if not, when do very well as Leave Zeldin De when he ran for governor, why because people in new york are fed up with the one Party Democratic rule. We are seeing all sorts of chaos york from illegal immigrant gang members that have created a lot of crime, including murder. We are seeing Congestion Pricing and other tax grab from governor kathy hochul to enter the city center. Thats going to crush, crush new yorkers that live in the Outer Boroughs we see the Bail Reform Law and and how that has increased crime and people feel less safe in our city. They are less safe in our city. And so i think that theres a lot of potential for republicans to make inroads. And we proved that last year with the bronx. We did when we flipped a City Council Seat right in the heart of alexandria ocasiocortez district. We also flip the senate emily seats within my congressional district. And so we are making inroads in the state of new york. And it is a combination between the failed policies of the democrats that are running new york and also what republicans have offered and what were fighting for, okay, we want to see low energy costs. We want to see low, lower inflation. We want to see safer streets, secure borders. Thats what we fight for unfortunately, President Biden has allowed all that stuff to happen under his watch. He created a lot but by the policies that he put in place do you think that new yorkers should be a target as a pickup for donald trump to spend money his campaign to poor resources in you think he should do that to target, to try to win new york in 2024 well, well have to see how the polling continues. I know for a fact that there have been polls conducted that show that he has he has a possibility of winning new york and its one of the states, it is the state where we flipped multiple cool congressional districts last cycle and we are in a very good position to perhaps flip a couple of more. So i think it is in play and the fact that hes spending theres so much time right now in new york and people are seeing what is happening to him. They believe that is being politically prosecuted. I will tell you that i represent a lot of immigrants people when i speak to in the chinese community, albanian community, Egyptian Community for example, have told me that they are not happy with the way this president has been targeted by the by the prosecutors. And they are afraid of this is this is what they saw in their homeland. They dont want it happening here in the United States. I think thats actually going to help him tremendously with the immigrant communities. But again, at the end of the day comes down to pocket issues. The people in the bronx, people in new york, they paying more for everything to commute into manhattan. Theyre paying more put food on their table to having difficulty putting a roof. Are the head why . Because inflation has risen under this president , they have the anti Energy Policies that have crushed new york do you know that the New York State, they shut down indian Point Powerplant Nuclear Power plant, which was 26 of new york citys electricity and costs have skyrocketed for new yorkers. So all of these policies that the democrats have done are gonna be hurtful and thats why President Trump has an advantage. I want to ask you about nikki haley. She says that she hes now said that shes going to be voting for donald trump. It has been suggested that Stead Donald Trump should pick her to be his running mate, despite the contentious primary great would you like to see nikki haley as Donald Trumps running mate i liked nikki haley. Shes a friend and i do believe that she could be very good helping us unite this party. She is still getting a significant number of votes in some primaries across the country, despite not even running anymore. And we should not turn a blind eye to that if there is a way that the two of them can you night, we should i think move forward with that. That would be a very strong ticket. I also so like senator tim scott, i also think Elise Stefanik from new york. Great candidates. So well see how this turns out at the end of the day, its going to be the president s decision. I dont know what the personal dynamic im mix there are, but i do think that nikki haley would be an asset for President Trump, but i do think that she can help bring over some independence and democrats know i didnt see if that is part of Donald Trumps message when he goes into deep blue bronx this evening. Congresswoman, thank you for your time. Thank you. John. Its like a Malliotakis Shortlist right there.

Im sara marie and washington. And this is cnn may is Mental Health Awareness Month one in five us adults this early 60 Million People deal with a form of Mental Illness every year former congressman Patrick Kennedy has written and spoken extensively about his own journey with Mental Health. And now hes writing about others in a new book titled profiles and Mental Health, courage here now is author and former rhode island congressman Patrick Kennedy. Great to see you congressman. Obviously the title of your book based on your uncles book profile incurred fridge why do you think its so important to talk about the different journeys that different people have in Mental Health thanks, john. Well, i think everyone now feels less stigma about saying that they have a diagnosis or that they are in recovery. But we dont really understand what does that mean . We have various folks i, simone biles said that she had Mental Health issues, but no one can really understand why couldnt she get on the balance beam . What was it about her life that Mental Health really impacted . So in the point of these 12 stories is to hear from different people and different walks of life with different diagnosis . How do they relate to family, friends . How do they navigate life . How do they navigate the Healthcare System how do they navigate employment . I mean, these are the real life stories of people who live with these illnesses and we really dont get that kind of indepth perspective, which is, i think what we really need now in america for us to fully embrace more transparency in the way we discussed Mental Illness and addiction. Im so glad you brought up simone biles because i was thinking about her. Think about John Fetterman. I was thinking about all the different places in different people now where we speak openly about Mental Health in ways i dont think we did ten years ago. I dont think we did in 2010 when you Left Congress to basically spend fulltime all your time on this is the battle against Mental Health theta. Weve winning the battle against smoking, right . Are we winning the battle against Mental Health stigma . You know, as i said, on a superficial level. But i want to know how does John Fetterman deal with his depression every single day . What are the specific ways that it impacts his quality of life . Does it still impact it . How did he respond to treatment and what Current Treatment is he seeking . And all of that requires a new level of disclosure which frankly on the surface, its enough of a big deal for him to say you got treatment or for simone biles or Michael Phelps to say that they got help, but what americans dont get is, what does this really mean in peoples lives . And when they read these 12 profiles, they will understand the answer to that question because each of these people who use their own name tell the full story of how they navigate life living with these illnesses. And we as a nation are going to make a difference we have to have a better understanding and appreciation of what these illnesses look like and what are the ways that we can begin to address them . Have one political question, obviously, your cousin is running for president as an independent harbor kennedy, hes got some platforms on health care that are controversial. I know you care a lot about health care. Is this something you could support well my familys legacy is in Public Health and just like in Mental Health, we dont want anecdotal evidence. We want real science and real data. And that is what the Kennedy Legacy is about. Its not about distorted fact to make a point, its about finding the right data to make good decisions. Were going to need to make those decisions if were going to fund the right interventions to help people with Mental Illness and addiction. Its too fraught with feelings, emotions, opinions. We gotta get past that and go to exactly what works at what the science demonstrates, works best. Its such an important battle. You were right in the middle of that, Patrick Kennedy. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you for the work youve done. On the issues surrounding Mental Health. Thank you so much its good to see the congressman again. Yeah. Really is.
