demonizing the weltd though. eric adams is my guest. let s go k outfront . good evening. i m erin burnett. the breaking news, we re about to get the first exit polls for california s recall election. it will be the first glimpse into what voters are actually doing today and into whether governor gavin newsom can keep his job. one man who has actually been helping newsom is donald trump. newsom with an army of top democrats including president biden and the vice president kamala harris have done all they can to turn into recall into a referendum tieing him to larry elder. the leading republican running for governor is the closest thing to a trump clone that i ve ever seen in years. he s the clone of donald trump. we have someone on the other side of this that s to the right of donald trump. and trump himself is not staying out of the fray today trying to preempt a possible republican law with unfounded claims of voter fraud, rigged election. you know the terminology. t
larry elder has a link on his campaign website making baseless claims of fraud calling the results twisted even though they haven t even been announced yet. does it surprise any of you that we have someone on the other side of this that is to the right of donald trump. we may have defeated donald trump, we have not defeated trumpism. trumpism is still on the ballot in california. so i can t think of any level, any front, any policy this man has engaged in that has made life better for us here in california. he shut down churches. while keeping open strip clubs and marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores. all this in california as police in washington, d.c. plan to fence off the u.s. capitol once again. this time ahead of a right wing rally planned for saturday preparing for some of those protestors on saturday to be armed. former president bush warned about homegrown extremists in his speech commemorating the 9/11 attacks. just yesterday authorities arrested a califo
some protesters to be armed. new security fencing is set to go back up. this is a dangerous and pivotal point in american history. trump not only insisted he won in 2020, his lies made millions of americans doubt the u.s. election system. he relentlessly pressured local election officials and the department of justice to help reverse the results of the election, and when that did not work, his supporters turned to changing voting laws across the country. to talk about how dangerous this is, again, for the foundation of the democracy, you have to look at the entire scope of actions here by the former president, his inner circle and also republican politicians who are believers in these lies. here s cnn senior investigative correspondent, drew griffin. cnn spoke to a dozen state and county officials involved in elections for this special report. many of them republicans themselves. they all expressed concerns about the future of the united states, that donald trump s big
secretary of state. this was a very partisan line of inquiry from those republicans. one thing that was missing notably yesterday was detail-oriented lines of questions, right, that went into what the biden administration did and what they didn t do because a lot of these republicans were just digging their heels in questioning the biden administration s decision to withdraw in the first place, not exactly how that was executed. now, the secretary of state has another hearing today before the senate foreign relations committee, so we ll see if they get into some more details during that hearing. it will be good to get more information, actual information there. kylie, i thank you so much for that. nice to see you. new day continues right now. and a very good morning to viewers here in the united states and around the world. it is tuesday, september 14th. i m brianna keilar alongside john berman on this beautiful new day. today voters in california will decide governor g
nasty flood before everyone even gets their power back from the previous storm. welcome to the lead. i m jake tapper. we start today with our health lead. an alarming new coronavirus trends especially among children. new data from the american academy of pediatrics show infections are up 240% since july. to put that into context, more than 240,000 kids in the u.s. tested positive for coronavirus just last week. now, it is important, as always, to note that kids remain far less likely than adults to get seriously sick or to die from coronavirus. but that does not mean that some don t get seriously ill or worse. and either way, kids can still carry and spread the virus. with hospitalizations and deaths on the rise again among adults and with a quarter of the country refusing to get vaccinated, health experts say, once again, communities need to focus on slowing the spread. in just a few moments i m goin to speak with dr. anthony fauci and whether booster shots will be re
