CNNW The July 3, 2024

Palm beach florida, Kristen Trump and johnson set to begin speaking in moments. What do you expect any new here well, i am told that they are likely to relitigate the 2020 election, which isnt surprising since both of them were part of the effort to overturn that election. But im also told that they are going to highlight this issue of noncitizens voting now, to be very clear, theres already a federal ban in place that would stop noncitizens from voting in federal elections. However, there is some nuance here. There are some cities in some states that allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, like the School Board Election or certain mayo or phil elections. But it is not an issue in terms of widespread fraud. However, i got some pushback earlier today from advisors to donald trump who said this is also a way to prove it. Then that from happening and looting to the Immigration Crisis at the border, talking about this influx of migrants at the border, this is a way for donald trump speaks for johnson to talk about an issue that they both want to talk about. And link it to immigration, which is an issue that Americans Care deeply about voters, particularly care. Its one of the top the issues and something that they believe will help them in november in the election cycle. Now, again, there is no real evidence that we have seen that this isnt it . Issue, but they are say that this will be a way to prevent that from happening in the november election. This is also a way as we know, for Speaker Johnson to get some support port from the former president at a time where his speakership is really in parallel. All right, kristen holmes, thanks so much. Were going to monitor the live feed of those comments and bring some highlights of what trump and Speaker Johnson have to say and perhaps a fact check if one is warranted, who knows. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Vice President Kamala Harris is in tucson, arizona, right . Now getting ready to talk about Abortion Rights in arizona. Her remarks come just three days after the Supreme Court of arizona upheld a law from the 160s, one that would ban abortion in every case including rape, including incest, except when its quote, necessary to save a persons life arizonas legislature had a chance on wednesday to repeal this 18 64 law, but some State Lawmakers say republicans left the chamber after blocking the vote causing this reaction lets go straighten out to cnns priscilla alvarez, whos in tucson, arizona, where Vice President harris will be speaking momentarily. Im talking about this issue of Abortion Rights. Priscilla what are we expecting her to set . Well take the program is just getting underway here. We anticipate that the Vice President is going to directly tie these unpopular abortion bans including the state Supreme Court ruling here, too. The President Donald Trump, im told by sources that this has been top for the Vice President and she wanted to hammer home this message here in arizona, particularly that the former president poses a threat to health care and to personal freedoms. And we got a preview as to what harris is expected j that includfor example, the overturning of roe was a seismic event, and this ban in arizona is one of the biggest aftershocks, yet shes also attracted to say that second term, a second trump term looks like more bands, more suffering, less freedom. Now, a forsake defining Campaign Sees abortion as a salient political issue, going into november and just this week they announced a sevenfigure ad buy to air more abortionrelated ads in this state on the heels of that state Supreme Court ruling and the Vice President has been uniquely positioned mr. Don, this early on this year for team position, her to tackle this issue head on over the course of the year by going on her reproductive freedoms tour. And while this is on a stop on that toward this is Campaign Event, it goes to show that they are leaning into this issue and i talked to a democratic strategist who said this court ruling, essentially as another data point for this ongoing argument that democrats both are making, that republicans are the extreme ones that they are the ones that pose a threat to personal freedoms and to health care. So that is the message that we anticipate the Vice President is going to camera home here in a state of course, that is a battleground state. Its a critical one for this campaign and one that President Biden only narrowly won in 2020. Jake, know, by about 10,000 votes per cell how confident is the Biden Campaign . In securing a wind because of this issue in Arizona Arizona is one of a nearly it doesnt state that could have an Abortion Rights measure on the ballot that makes a difference, especially in helping with voter turnout. Of course, this has been a rite of an Election Year theres voter apathy, whether its not so much enthusiasm for either one of the candidates. And so this is to be on the, on the ballot. It essentially helps them know i suppose are voters get them out and galvanize that momentum and in the campaign believes to vote for President Biden and to protect, they say Abortion Rights. But again, jake, of course, this is a critical state for them. Its one that they hope to get a win in november, but it wont be easy. And also its a steep were immigration, as you heard from kristen, is top of mind for voters and they think that this may be a way in to get those because waters to the polls. All right. Priscilla alvarez in tucson, arizona. Thanks so much. Lets discuss all this with my political panel. David, whats your take on the bidens campaign . The Biden Campaigns decision to send the Vice President and to arizona trying to galvanize voters just a couple of days after the arizona Supreme Court brought back this or said that the 18, 64 law was the one that had to be the Law Of The Land almost a complete abortion ban. Yeah. I mean, jumping on it instantly converting this event to a Campaign Event where she can go directly at the president , free an unencumbered by an official event as vice with the office of the Vice President. Priscilla said shes uniquely positioned here, i think we also have to remember shes the first ever woman to serve in the role of Vice President. And that makes a huge difference in talking on this issue. Not that the president cant talk about a two you saw in that ad that he talked straight to camera on it. But if you have the first ever female Vice President and the United States, as youre running mate on the ticket this is an issue animating your party to show up. You put her everywhere and anywhere where it is a relevant issue as it is instantly in arizona after that ruling, ashley im sure you think its wise for her to go. How much do you think this issue of Abortion Rights is going to be a factor in places where lack of access to it is stark, such as arizona. I think itll be an issue where access is diminishing, but also where its not because of what can happen in the future if we do not, if joe biden does not secure the white house, we are most likely looking at some form of a National Abortion ban. So it wont matter what your access is. You will now then have to fall under the Law Of The Land. I do think its smart that Kamala Harris is going out there and talking about this. Shes been doing it since the fall of roe and a lot of the pole polls and 2022 said that this was not going to be an issue that really carried democrats and it absolutely was. We saw it again in 2023, and i think what this issue does in states, if youre someone whos like, i dont know, im not really super excited about the ballot, but this is an issue that resonates with you it gets you to the polls. And once youre at the poles, the likelihood that if youre a democratic voter, that youll go ahead and cast your vote for joe biden. And commonly harris, it works to the Dems Advantage for sure. Sure. Michael, arizonas governor im a crowd. Hobbs. Shes going after republicans pretty hard for refusing in the her view, to clean up a mess. They started by Overturning Roe v. Wade. Heres what you had to say today. On the view. Take a listen i am pretty tired of cleaning up Donald Trumps message in arizona political after coming from these folks who who wanted this. This is what they wanted when they, when they work to overturn roe v. Wade. Now that they see it as a political albatross, theyre all of a sudden trying to run away from it. They cant do that we see the Senate Candidate kari lake, republican Big Mega Woman has now completely gone from almost 100 prolife to 100 prochoice . Yeah. Just in im not surprised with that, jake, yesterday evening, i did a focus group with some Republican Voters in South Georgia, rural georgia, and some from the suburbs of savannah. All evangelicals, most of them were prochoice or most of them were not prochoice. Theres only one prochoice individual and when i asked him, what did you think about President Trumps remarks, this should be returned to the states. They all agreed with the caveat. They all agreed, but they said that voters should actually have the right to vote on the issue. As i said, so if the president were to moderate somewhat to appeal to a broader electorate would you be okay with that, even though you dont agree they said yes, one guy, not a South Georgia town by about 5,000 people. He said sure. Michael, the folks in atlanta view this differently than those versus South Georgia. Sure. He said, i dont want atlanta dictate in our values and we shouldnt dictate our values on atlanta it was a very surprising responses by many of those individuals. So i think trump, kari lake and many other republicans are realized that is not just democrats who were saying we dont want this. Theres a lot of republics zero saying this is a step too far and jaime trump is signaling that he wants the Republican Legislature in arizona to change this almost total abortion ban in arizona. This is what he sad to say on truth, social earlier today, quote, the Supreme Court in arizona went too far on their abortion ruling, enacting and approving in inappropriate law from 18, 64. So now the governor and the Arizona Legislature must use heart common sense, and act immediately to remedy what has happened. He went on to accuse democrats of being extremists on the matter, although obviously this is a rather extreme law, i think we can all agree on that this is a case of the dog catching the bus you took my line or did i the key parts that meet as one you want to be jane always the keywords too far. Yeah, this is, you know, priscilla talked about it being a salient issue in the campaign. I would use another word. Its a winner. And the democrats feel it is, and theyre all saying they dont want this kind of legislation, but they are in effect saying, thank you arizona, because it is, as you said, bringing this to light and david, regardless of trumps opinion about leaving states, leaving this issue up to the states there are states that are taken exactly where they wanted to go, like arizona, florida has a six week ban and then i want you to listen to what tony perkins of the conservative Family Research council had to say. And one of the reasons why hes significant is the Family Research council is one of the groups behind project 2025, which is a group of conservatives that are preparing for the next trump term. So hes a very significant person in the conservative movement, but also in trumps second term. And this is what tony perkins said on monday i applaud the president for all the work that he did and has done as president , but their work is not over and this is not simply a state issue. This is for every level of government to protect the unborn so david and ensure michael, i mean conservatives, people who want a 100 ban are not going to stop even if its an unpopular theyre not going to stop. There had been advocating since dobbs was overturned, donald trump, of course to try and push back on that in trying to make a broader appeal to a general election electorate said he would not sign a national ban should it come to his desk. He is trying. So does that mean we take that trumpet his word, if he is in office again next year, well groups like that, succeed in convincing him to actually signed legislation that this week he said he would not clearly trump is fine trying to find a way to broaden his appeal on this issue. Too muddy it up a little bit so that its not such a clear lumen cser for him, kari lake doing the same, but it goes at odds with these powerful voices inside the republican coalition. Yeah, i tony perkins as a powerful guy inside the trump movement. I think theres a bit of a disconnect i read quotes from mike pence its van der plan, the president of susan b. Anthony, prolife americans to the focus group. And i asked him, what, what are your reactions to these . And they all said a lot of time, shall michael, these folks are a bit out of touch with what we actually think it was one lady catherine. Now divorced a mother of three her oldest daughter is 18 years old and she said, sure, michael, if something were to happen to my 18 yearold daughter. Yes, its against my religious beliefs, but i would want the option to at least consider it i mean, jake, were talking about prolife people here, but thats not prolife ive looked oh, no, no, i know theyre saying that theyre against abortion, correct. Option, but they want the Oxygen Deficit of foot, but thats the point that im making here. Jake is when you listen to some of these voices, i do believe that there is a bit of a desk lets connect. Are there some who are absolutely no compromise . I believe so. It was two individuals, a part of the folks who said, you know, i think the federal government should do something, but most of the country doesnt the want that. I want to respect that. I dont think these leaders, i dont think individuals like mike pence, i dont think even individualize Lindsey Graham with the 15 weeks appear to be in touch with at least some of the folks that ive been talking with. And then about a week or two, im gonna talk with republicans in arizona and im willing to bet. I think the sensors will be the same what those folks were saying to jakes point is a pro choice agenda. Its about individuals having the right to choose what they do with their life. That is actually a principle that runs pretty close to the republican ideology will at least it used to and so it will hit the independents and moderates that are the swing voters in these states. It will definitely mobilize our base and for the folks in your focus group, they probably were already going to vote for donald trump its not going to move them. Yeah. But it i think it helps the biting very interesting much more with the panel were going to dive more into this contrast happening right now out there in the realworld and politics were back in a moment this situation, which blitzer locked in knighted six, once cnn.
