For joining me. Im fredricka whitfield, and we begin this hour with dueling Campaign Strategies and Debate Preparations in the race for the White House. Today, both president ial candidates are on the Campaign Trail in Battleground States and both are getting ready for their Tuesday Debate showdown in their own unique ways. This afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris took a break from Debate Prep at a nearby hotel by making a Surprise Campaign Appearance at a Small Business in pittsburgh. And former President Donald Trump is holding a rally right now in the battleground, state of Wisconsin Weve got Team Coverage of the race for the White House. Cnns Eva Mckend is in pittsburgh with the Vice President. But lets begin with Alayna Treene at that Trump Rally in wisconsin. So alayna has it gotten underway . It has fred Donald Trump is speaking behind me right now. Hes been talking for a little under an hour now and look up. This speech was really supposed to be focused on the economy about what theyre calling drain the swamp, quote, unquote, drain the swamp, something we know they have referred to before, but truly trying to hammer Kamala Harris and tie her to Joe Bidens policies. However, Donald Trump actually spent the majority of his speech so far railing against his criminal cases, even though his prepared remarks that were shared by his advisers prior to his speech with reporters after you didnt talk at all about his criminal cases. It did talk about a bit more generally how he wanted to, if elected, he would stop the weaponization of the government. Of course a claim that Donald Trump has made repeatedly in reference to the legal battles that he is facing with no evidence of whether the actual Justice Department has been targeting a but all to say that he went onto a long rant about his league okay. It says and of course this comes just one day after Donald Trump was in court for a hearing on his Appeals Court Case with e. Jean carroll, but also a day after the judge in his New York hush Money Case had delayed his sentencing even further. Now this is something Donald Trump himself actually address don stage. I want you to take a listen to what he said i dont know why they dont do something they were to drop it. They shouldnt delay it they should drop it, drop all of it, drop all of it. Ive been indicted more than alphonse capone. You say it all the time. He shorted the ultimate, you know, he is the ultimate criminal i got indicted more than him. My parents are up there. Theyre great people there looking down on me right now. I cant believe this has happened to my son. Hes been indicted more than Al Capone and he approved. Alright. Bradso, that line about alphonse capone. Al capone, something he says that almost every single rally, but he did as again, address the delay in his sentencing in his New York hush Money Case. And he said he thinks it should be completely thrown out, not delayed. Of course, we know that he was indicted in that case back in the spring and he was supposed to face sentencing this month. However, the judge initially, id pushed it back after the Supreme Court had ruled that president s have immunity for official acts. So they are still waiting to determine whether or not this case could potentially be dismissed. That is also going to be decided after the yes election. But just to take a step back and get back to the politics of all of this. Fred, of course, wisconsin is a very important battleground to Donald Trump. That is why he is here today. Its one of those states that helped propel him to the White House in 2016, he won this stayed in 2016, but then he lost it to Joe Biden in 2020. And it is going to be very close in this state come november. Recent polls have shown Kamala Harris gaining ground, is in wisconsin after taking over the top of the democratic ticket. But again, its very close and thats why youre going to hear Donald Trump also later in this speech okay about the economy, an issue that his team really has been pushing him to focus on noting that the majority of americans see that as their Number One issue and its also an issue where he is currently polling playing hire fred. All right. Alayna treene there in wisconsin with the trump campaign. Thank you. Alright. Even to you in pittsburgh with the Vice President s campaign how are you preparing for the debates . In between making these impromptu visits with people there in pittsburgh well, fred, the strategy has largely been to hunker down here at the Omni Width so small group of key advisers dish destroying asleep, prepare for this debate, safe for those stops when she gets out into pittsburgh, into the community in this pivotal battleground state. And it comes at a time when the campaign is shifting strategy a bit at least on air. For the last several weeks, we have seen ads that have really leaned in to the Vice President s personal biography. But now we are seeing a new slate of ads that lean into this issue of reproductive right . By having women tell their own stories. Take a listen to what Battleground Votes are seeing overturning of roe. Almost killed me i had a Blood Clot and my uterus that caused my labor to have to be induced because of the overturn of roe v. Wade i wasnt able to get lifesaving treatment sooner. I almost died and fred, that is part of 370 Million television and digital ad buy across the country as for the Vice President , she could make another appearance here in pittsburgh. She told community Members Today that ultimately most americans want to move away from from the divisiveness of the past. Fred, alright, Eva Mckend and Alayna Treene, thanks to both of you, ladies.

This Breaking News protesters are filling streets around israel, rallying to pressure their government to agree to a Hostage Deal with hamas antigovernment demonstrators and hamas such families are also joining together, demanding prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seal the deal. Emotions are running high as today marks the 11th Month since the horrifying Hamas Attack on October 7 Cnns Matthew Chance and Julia Benbrook are tracking these developments. Matthew, youre there right in the middle of the protest. Tell me more about whats being said. Well, the process of starts to thin out a little bit that there had been thousands of people here over the court also the evening. Im coming out in a show of Unity Festival for the hostages still being held inside the Gaza Strip are still on warn. Hes israelis that are held by hamas Inside Gaza. But the primary wasnt. The next thing theyre looking for is a deal. They want to prisoner swap deal. The goal to get those prisoners, those hostages out of gaza and back home as soon as they possibly can is a great deal of units in israel about the need to get those hostages back home. But in enormous division mess way. To do that had a lot of that mission has turned its attention. Want to benjamin netanyahu, the israeli Prime Minister most of the people here, if not all of them very concerned that the strategy that the israeli government is using to pound hamas in gaza add to not see a Hostage Deal went one is in front of them theyre saying thats the wrong strategy. There, saying that who is putting his own political survival above the welfare of the hostages being held Inside Gaza. And they wanted deal to be done that matter what the cost theyre going to have any palestinian prisoners in israeli jails released. That dialogue of how much territory Inside Gaza Israeli Forces you have agreed to withdraw from the priority for the people here is to get those hostages back home as soon as possible. Thats rejected by the governments of benjamin netanyahu, whos looking get sort of security, is looking at what prisoners should be released. That can be dealt with later, according to the vast majority other people protesting here tonight Matthew Chance. Thank you so much to juliette. Now, washington, the biden administration has been working for months now to get a Ceasefire Agreement between Israel And Hamas. Is it getting any closer . Well, biden and top aides have been persistently hopeful that they can get a deal across the line, but significant complications of shifted the mood in recent days leading to some within the White House to question if theyll see an end of the Israel Hamas War before the end of bidens presidency. U. S officials have said theyve grown increasingly skeptical that hamas may be open to an agreement. And earlier in the week, israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a deal is not close and is arguing for a permanent israeli presence in southwestern gaza, despite international Calls Walz including from the u. S. To eventually fully withdraw earlier today, Cia Director Bill burns, a Lead Negotiator in these talks for the u. S. So that its his hope to have a more detailed proposal in front of Israel And Hamas negotiators in the coming days but he stressed that its success would come down to political will on their parts i cannot tell you how close we are right now. It is a fact that if you look at the written text, 90 to the paragraphs have been agreed to, but in any negotiation have been involved in the last 10 is the last 10 for a reason because its the hardest part to do now, if a Ceasefire Deal fails to materialize in the coming months, it will be a huge foreign Policy Disappointment for biden, who has spent ill big amount of time, effort and political capital pushing for into this conflict over the last year and sources say that he is becoming presumably focused on Foreign Policy and specifically on this conflict in gaza since he decided to end his Reelection Bid alright, Julia Benbrook and Matthew Chance.
