Lets bring in Now Cnn senior white House Reporter Kevin Liptack kevin, what is the president s role going to be in thiS Push to Election Day well, its a new role for President Biden. Hes no longer the candidate. What hes doing is acting as something of a validator in chieF For his Vice President who he is trying to push across the Finish Line in november. And what will see him doing today is appear at a Labor Day Event at a Union Hall and pittsburgh and you really Cant Think of a more Joe Biden Type Event than Labor Day and pittsburgh the place that hes spent many Labor Day is over the last several years and it is all part of this strategy that his advisers have been sketching out over the last couple of weeks of how he is going to spend the remainder of his term and what youre seeing him do Today Kind of exemplifies it really focusing on those socalled blue wall states, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin really working to appeal to Blue Collar Workers who he is still holds some political capital with, and he will, aside from being in pennsylvania today, also be in michigan and wisconsin later this week. Now, he is entering this week with a slight uptick in his approval rating. Actually, since he withdrew from the race, and certainly his advisers and how camila harris, his Campaign Advisers want to capitalize on that, want to put him out in front of the voters, that he does well with in this campaign. Were carmel harris, i think its me she is running on a new path forward. But of course she also wants to show loyalty to President Biden and demonstrate her adherence to the policies that he enacted in office. So it will be interesting Balancing Act to watch them as they hit the Campaign Trail for the first time today. Now, over the weekend, the Harris Campaign did get some good news. New poll showed them a leading slightly against Donald Trump among likely voters. But you do hear them very much guarding against any overconfidence and democrats, the campaign chair, jen omalley, dillon saying in a memo make no mistake, we head into the final stretch of this race as the clear underdogs, Donald Trump has motivated base of support with more support and higher favorability than he has at any point since 2020. So certainly looking to guard against complacency as theY Enter this final stretch. All right. Well be watching today. Kevin liptack. Thank you so much. Pamela well, today, former president Donald Trump is not on the trail, but a key legal battle is just days away. Thats a Court Hearing in his federal election subversion case. The first since the supreme courts ruling on president ial immunity. And it comes as the former president claims in a recent interview that he had quote, every right to interfere with the 2020 election. Watch its so crazy that my Poll Numbers go up whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a president ial election where you have every right to do it. You get indicted and you Poll Numbers go up joining me now is cnn national correspondent Kristen Holmes and cnn legal analyst carrie cordero, christian straight to you because you have been following President Trump for quite some time now and former president , i should say that seem prettY Clear. The former president admitting to interfering with the election. I mean, he had said some think similar before many times over, theres a keyword missing, right . And that word is accused or alleged, right . He constantly says the same exact thing, which is they are accusing me of interfering with the election, which i would have had every right to do to question that election because there were some income just in in his mind. He says that anyone has the right to question that. Obviously, in that clip, he was lacking the word, accused. Theyre just said that he was indicted for interfering with the election which he had every right to do. Now in terms of what this means legally for Donald Trump, i will let Carrie Answer that. But what this means itS Politically is that his team has just doesnt want to deal with this. They have already pointed to the fact that he has said this before we know that on thursday of last week, they held a big legal call with all their surrogates trying to brief them on how exactly to stay on message. It was led by some of his lawyers, by Boris Epstein is its legal advisor. They are trying to get ahead of all these legal issues. It doesnt help when Donald Trump comes out and says something like that in an interview. So what does this mean legally . Well, with respect to hiS Public statements, i think his what he says in public in a News Interview really isnt particularly relevant to what is trans its firing in the legal channel. Whats going to matter in the actual case now that the Special Counsel has brought the Superseding Indictment that accords with the supreme courts ruling on immunity. Whats going to matter is what evidence the port now allows to get into this case the Special Counsel has made a decision about where it thinks the where the Justice Department things the line should be drawn in terms of what evidence should come in, and shell come out. But its going to go back to the District Court and then depending on how were the politics comes in, really is in terms of whether or not this case gets to go forward depending on who wins the election. So just to follow up the prosecutors, you dont think would use what he said have been out of guilt . I dont think that theyre going to focus so much on the things that he says. Now in this time that are relevant to things that are the actual activities. So what matters is things that he did actions that he took at the time of the actual conduct which is surrounding the 2020 election. I dont my own view is that theyre not going to give a lot of credence to things that he sayS Publicly because he says things all of the un in terms of the full spectrum, some things he sayS Publicly are true, some things are not true, many things are not true or blur the lines of truth so of course, his advisors, as you noted, they want him to focus on the economy, immigration. He continues to talk about the truth 2020 election, of course there is this Superseding Indictment. You know, and its interesting to me though, as he focuses on the past, hes also setting the stage for the upcoming election. Kristen talk of talking about how its going to be rid of if he loses, its the same old playbook. Yeah. And one of the things that we have heard this time around that we didnt hear before was this idea of quote, unquote, too big to rig, which is Donald Trumps way of trying to get people out to vote by saying theyre going to trY Everything that theY Can then being democrats. But we we need to do is all show up to vote. Because if we show up to vote, then it will be so big that they Cant Rig the election. Well, that was really what we saw during the biden when he was running against biden at the top of the ticket. Now, its turned back into this idea that democrats are going to try and steal the election because theres no way that theY Could possibly win unless theyre trying to do some dirty tricks, which is something that we heard back in 2020 now, well see what happens as we move forward. We obviously have been at a time where Donald Trump has had a very hard time finding getting footing against camila harris. None of his lines seem to be landing the way that he wants them to, which might be why hes talking about what was going to happen in 2024 at that election that might, he might why he might be insinuating that things could be unfair because he feels unsure on his own footing at the election. So well see what happens moving before. But of course, this is something weve heard from Donald Trump time and time again since 2020. Again, when he was running against biden and now guns Kamala Harris, but its interesting to within the context of his legal future and how much it depends on him winning this election, right . Because if he doesnt win theres. A very good chance. I mean, he go to trial. Right. Its very unlikely anything would happen before the election on that front. Yeah, nothings going to a tal before the election. And if he does not win this election, then presumably a Harris Administration would allow the Justice Department and the Special Counsel to continue this case, then i think we have months, if not years, of potentially protracted litigation in this case because each time the court considers whether or not certain evidence accords with the supreme courts decision, then the former president s team would presumably appeal. And so we could see this Case Drag on for a very, very long time where i do think it could potentially have actually a practical and positive from the perspective of democracy impact on the current election is the fact that this case could serve as a deterrent to individuals out in the states who in the Past And Part of this case were wrapped up in false electors and engaging in signing documents that have been brought into this case. Individuals out in the states might think differently about behaving and taking actions in the same way in 2024 as they did in 2020. Thats a really smart point. All right. Carrie cordero, Kristen Holmes. Thank you so much and coming up Rage And Israel after six hamas hostages are killed protesters are filling the streets, ramping up the pressure on netanyahu to cut a Hostage Deal and someoneS President and a biden, he says the prime Minister Isnt doing enough to secure an agreement.
