leslie vinjamuri? leslie: we are all watching pennsylvania. i personally am watching florida because what happens on election day is going to count so much, not only about which way the elections go but how quickly it is decided. i think all of us are very concerned that if the election result is delayed for several weeks, the potential for instability, unrest, contestation is significant. so florida is the state i am watching. most of it is very close. francine: do you worry about turnout? if turnout isn't great, does it automatically give trump a better chance of winning? leslie: i retweeted this morning david westerman of the political report, anticipating record 150 million and 160 million americans. in 2016, there were about 137 million americans, so people are mobilized, people are passionate on both sides. they want to vote. the question, as we know, is what will go wrong in the process of voting? in virginia, there was great dysfunctionality. there are very long lines, and we have seen this in the last day or two. there are all sorts o

leslie says this doesn't matter to the american voters. hillary clinton's corruption wasn't a top polling issue either and this is very similar in the sense of washington, d.c., politicians who've been in d.c. for decades selling out the family name, selling out taxpayers in order to gain access and take money from foreign governments and not just any foreign governments but russia, the mayor of moscow's wife, there will be a special counsel investigation about that and the chinese communist party which has proven to be a threat to not just the united states in the world, so the bigger question of how joe biden would handle these issues as president considering his alleged behavior as vice president. >> harris: director of national intelligence john ratcliffe was speaking on whether hunter biden's alleged laptop is part of the russian disinformation campaign. here he is. >> it's funny that some of the people that complain the most about intelligence being politicized are the ones politicizing intelligence. let me be clear, the intelligence

leslie stall also pressed on where is the gop health care plan. the president said we have large scale plans in place. the gop plan we've been waiting for, it's still not here. that was another key exchange. the other thing we know is the president will keep talking about hunter biden. he was talking about joe biden. one other thing, why is he still talking about hillary clinton's emails? that was the question from leslie stall after president trump continued to complain about those emails. he said it's a big issue to me. i want something done about impeachme it. that's the president still in 2020 still being mad, talking about hillary clinton, that tells you the focus is not where it should be or where trump campaign allies tell us it should be. >> you know, nick confessore, one of my favorite things i read this week was from tim alberta who said we're overthinking this. there's so much there. i'm grateful that it was unpacked for us. nowhere in there is anything about anyone other than him. what this trump ally that i spoke today said it's all a

do we have leslie? joel, we'll jump to you then. >> yes. we might have lost leslie. joel, i'm jump to you with that sme question. the president says if he wins pennsylvania, he's going to win the whole thing, the whole shebang. first of all, is that true in your view? and second of all, what's different now in 2020 compared to 2016? >> pennsylvania is very central to his win strategy, he's got to hold that state. the problem for trump is that there are no places -- he's got to defend everything and he can't go after states like minnesota, colorado, virginia, those states where maybe republicans were looking to gain. so i think the president has to hold those states and i also think what we're going to see here is the president try to run the same strategy that he did four years ago, which is really focus on the upper midwest and really focus on turning out rural voters. not sure if it's going to work, but that's obviously the playbook the president is going to run again. >> joel, let's talk about being not sure if it's going to work. people forget that the majority o

i agree with leslie it's going to be a close election. it's why i look at some of the poll like about wisconsin than i think i joe biden up 17 points. i think that's absurd. it's not going to be that. it's a surprise showing where really big numbers, i think the surprise will be donald trump. i agree with leslie mentioning the old seniors -- seniors and young people. but one of the differences is the seniors have soured on president trump a little bit over covid, they're nervous about it. a lot of the young people, i'm hearing from pollsters there's a surge and a lot of them are more for trump because they do not want the economy locked down. they want to go to their colleges, they want to get their jobs. they're not feeling as vulnerable as old people. i think it's very, very competitive. the last time around, they missed a lot of trump voters in the polling. >> bret: this is a tie, where i can pull it out of you guys. we go to a place called "candidate casino." you have $100 in chips, you have to spend them. at $100, how are you spendin

and, of course, walking out of the interview with leslie stall. so, you know, he's playing up the media thing as much as he can right now. >> and i think abby's reporting is spot-on. i don't think this is driven by a strategy. you heard senator thune. president trump would do very well to listen to senator thune. but they're saying focus on issues, focus on the economy, stop the attacks on dr. fauci, stop inciting domestic terrorism. it's like telling president trump all he needs is a six-pack ab and full head of air. it's not going to happen. trump's going to trump. and these republicans are running away from him are running like the devil runs from holy water. even trump doesn't agree with trump 96% of the time, yet senator cornyn is trying to run away from him. >> does the slamming of fauci, what are your feelings of how that plays? >> i saw that a little bit differently. when you see trump going out there and just story after story after story going after someone, and everyone is shaking their head what's going on, i thought the story that was

i will go with leslie because her name was first on the prompter. what were your biggest take aways? >> a lot of take aways. first of all i love the comment if we heard more when senator harris talks about a pact court would be the court of appeals appointments not including any african-americans, i like when she said bad cops are bad for good crops, i liked when she spoke of joe biden to save the auto industry, those were my biggest moment and when senator harris spoke of george florida father was very moving and relatable. todd: the fact that biden and harris haven't said whether they will pack the court, they definitely deflected on that question. is in that proof positive they will pack the court if democrats are in power? >> from where i sit as a democrat if you have the court that is 6-3 weather is conservative or liberal that is already a pact court. senator harris did answer the question when she spoke of the american people will decide. if the american people elect her and joe biden as president and vice president perhaps the american peopl

john leslie, the former blue peter presenter, he was facing one charge of sexual assault. now this allegation dated back more than a decade to 2008. he always denied the charge against him but the allegation was that he grabbed a woman's breast at a party in london in the west end in 2008. when he gave evidence during his trial, he described the allegation as ludicrous and crazy. and he told the jury that he would not have touched the woman like some manikin and walked off. he said he never crossed the line between behaving gregariously and criminal behaviour. he never assaulted anybody, he said, and he told the jury i would never do that, it's not in my nature. well, the jury took 23 minutes to come back with that not guilty verdict, so a very quick deliberation time indeed. and as that not guilty verdict was read out mr leslie, who was in the dock, standing to hear that verdict, he sobbed, he leaned forward onto the front of the dock and as he came out of the dock, he hugged his father, who himself was in tears at hearing that not guilty verdict and they hugged each othe

president trump sat down with leslie stahl before getting up and saying they had enough material. let's start with our team. we don't know what prompted the president's exit but he is now on twitter seemly attacking leslie stahl for not wearing a mask or something. obviously this is the same president who reluctant to wear a mask and undermining the cause of wearing a mask. i don't know that there is any strategy to this. it just seems kind of like unhinged behavior but what is your take? >> we know president trump when he feels under attack tends to lash out to the person nearest to him. we are less than two weeks out from the election, the administration is feeling pressure given that according to all polls, he is trailing biden right now. so as those around him and as his advisers try to get him to focus on issues that they think would help him with voters we have seen a president over the last few days attack infectious disease expert fauci repeatedly and also now attacking leslie stahl for reasons that we aren't quite sure about just yet. >> i'm trying to figure out, sabrina,

strategy in the final days of the 2020 campaign appears to be to attack his perceived enemies from leslie staal and hillary clinton. joe biden, meanwhile, has been off the campaign trail this week, preparing for tomorrow's debate. and attempting to portray a positive path forward for the country. overnight, new financial filings show joe biden's campaign with a substantial cash advantage, with nearly triple the amount of cash on hand than the trump campaign has. president obama delivering a video message to young voters as he gets ready to hit the campaign trail today for joe biden. we're less than two weeks from election day and more than 33 million votes have already been cast. that, john, is 72% of all of the early votes cast in 2016. >> it's 25% of the total vote from 2016 and we still have 13 days left to go. >> we've been counting them by hand. >> let's begin our coverage with cnn's jessica dean live in nashville, the site of tomorrow's final presidential debate. jessica? >> reporter: good morning to you, john and alisyn. well, president trump is hopping from must-win state to must-
