be in ukrainian hands, but look, this is a stark move. it seems by ukraine's forces are kyiv has not said rarely a word about this at all but it does suggest indeed that ukraine is trying a new tactic here as it clearly falters and other parts of the front-line will work tell us about the u.s. reaction. how is the u.s. watching all of this unfold? as i said, this is unprecedented. ukrainian forces moving across the border into russia yeah, look, i mean, we've seen in the past russian citizens working fighting for ukraine makes small incursion as militant groups. but if we believe the russian, this is the first time perhaps the regular military has moved across the border. look the state department has said, this is an outside of what we might expect ukraine to do and we don't expect ukraine to tell us what they're doing every time they move. but clearly a departure for kyiv very serious development indeed, nick

>> very much. and to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. i'll see you tomorrow. 11:00 a.m. eastern for cnn newsroom. we're here in tel aviv until then thanks very much. once again for watching erin burnett outfront starts. right now outfront next the harris-walz ticket off and running and we're now standing by for the vice president and her new running mate to take the stage in a crucial battleground state. >> this is seen. trump steps up, its attacks on this new democratic ticket. plus, i'll speak with a former student who calls him also role model someone who protected him vicious bullying in school because he's gay and breaking news, taylor swift canceling a series of concerts after police say they foiled a terror attack targeting her shows. let's go out for good evening. >> i'm erica hill in for erin burnett outfront tonight. the breaking news democrats taking their show on the road you're looking at live pictures here out of detroit, michigan where vice president kamala harris is

about to take the stage with her new running mate, minnesota governor tim walz. thousands of people at that event, the two arriving in detroit just a short time ago after speaking to an energized crowd earlier in the day in wisconsin in the past 24 hours, harris and walz have now hit three crucial battleground states, starting of course, with last night's rally in philadelphia, those three states, as i noted, crucial to a harris victory. and today, everywhere harrison waltzed when they had team trump hot on their trail, trump's running mate, senator j.d. vance, holding events in wisconsin and michigan today as well. at one point, vance's plane and harris his plane actually landed at the same airport in wisconsin at the same time vance making his way then to a manufacturing plant to speak with a group of blue blue-collar workers we have a country that's going in the wrong direction thanks to kamala harris and i think that it's important to say we could be doing so much better and not just that we could be doing so much better. >> we were doing so much better when donald j. trump was president of the united states

fans really focusing most of his attacks now on harris, much like the former president who opted not to join vans on the trail. he did though this morning, call into fox nobody knew how radical left she was. this is a ticket that would want this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner jeff zeleny is outfront, live in detroit there at the harris rally. >> so a big enthusiastic crowd for harris and walz over the past couple of days this could also be a honeymoon, as we know, barely 24 hours in just over. is there a sense from the campaign that you're hearing in terms of a plan to keep that momentum alive era in the plan basically is one day at a time. >> and there are 90 days now until election day in november, and far fewer days until voting actually begins. but i can tell you, enthusiasm is certainly only one sort of ingredient in a winning campaign, but you can see behind me here perhaps

thousands of people have gathered in this hearing in this hangar, excuse me, and when vice president harris arrived stepping off air force two, it was a different moment. so enthusiasm does not win elections alone. but it's a key component. and frankly, a month ago, democrats did not have that. so talking to democrats here in this audience, they are overjoyed by other new ticket. >> vice president harris and governor walz. >> of course, you would expect that. >> but when you talk to other voters who have been really turned off by the selection, they too are suddenly now engaged and suddenly tuned in. >> but the vice president herself makes the case. she did last night, i assume she will again tonight that they are the underdogs in this race. and that is how they are looking at all this a bit, erica, $36 million. i was raised in the first 24 hours. it is much more than that. i am told that also buys something else that by his television commercials and that continues the enthusiasm we learn one piece of information today that former president donald trump is interested in holding a debate, but vice

president harris on a network potentially other than fox so that of course would be a big moment in this campaign. but for now, at least the harris campaign wants to keep this momentum alive as they continue their battleground tour and of course that democratic convention in chicago is now less than two weeks away. >> erica, jeff zeleny, appreciate it. thank you. joining me now to discuss we've got all the players here. david axelrod, i want to begin with you as jeff just noted enthusiasm is only one ingredient. yeah. right. moving forward, we're 24 hours into this new team and team trump really working to label governor walz in particular as the most liberal she could pick this is the most liberal ticket you're going to see if you're managing this campaign, where do you go with that? where do you take that messaging and how do you massage it to your advantage? >> well, look first of all, the fact that let me just say as an aside before i answer your question, the fact that trump is now changing his position on the debate tells me me that they understand that they're in a real fight here. and so he

needs to debate which gives you a sense of where the race is. look, i think that the, they've got a guy here who is from central casting like he drops out of a norman rockwell painting, right? he's small town america, incarnate no, the teacher, the coach, 24 years in the national guard and so on. and people, a lot of folks in small town america recognized him as a neighbor and i think this is deeply worrisome to the other side. i think that what i would do with him honestly, is i would put them in an rv and i would send them the small towns and pennsylvania, in michigan, in wisconsin because i think he'll relate well to people and if it's a harder to caricature someone when you know them so that's what i would do with him. >> you mentioned that, but the 24 years in the national guard has said this is already popping up as an attack point

actually, from j.d. vance going after, whilst today on his military record, i want to play part of that moment. >> he said we shouldn't allow weapons that i used in war to be on america's streets well, i wonder tim walz, when were you ever in war? when was this was this weapon that you carried into war given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to iraq. and he has not spent a day in a combat zone so just to clarify, walz did serve in the national guard, as we noted for 24 years, he filed to run for congress, retire from the guard months before his unit was deployed, but he did at one point said hey, right. >> he talked about quote, weapons that he carried in war. he was never in combat is this proving to be it's early, but it's proving to be an effective line of attack. >> i think we it's hard to know, but i do know that we know the messenger has some problems. this is what j.d. vance was chosen for it to be the attack dog for donald trump. and i think that this is an early preview of what are there going to go with governor walz. but this is someone who

has given his life to service. i think it's going to be hard to character hutcher him as that, but i think to david's point, it becomes harder as the american people come to know him more. and so what the trump campaign is trying to do is try to do an early definition of walls. but i think that will become more difficult as he gets more out there. but there was another point in that press conference with vance that stuck out to me. they asked them, what makes you happy, what makes you smile. and he said, nothing really, because right now i'm angry. that's the contrast with whilst i think it's really going to jump out whilst having a good time. he's gonna be the person who is out there, a recognizable teacher, as david says, and it's gonna be more difficult to kind paint him as a caricature if he's if he's following the kind of happy warrior mold, that thing came in. harris are trying to put out there. this is one attack line there, certainly putting out there, but they're gonna have to find something. i think they're gonna have to find something more robust if they're going to try to define him outside of the ways that they're already pushing to define themselves. >> david, would you agree with that that this needs to be david urban and more robust? line of attack on which part erica, the military serve as part yes. it said saying that

may not be landing. right. and it may need to be a more robust attack. was that the right attack or is there something that would be a better path? >> no i think. the best path is let's get the governor in a van or in a motor home in pennsylvania and let's let people hear about his record. i am all about the substance, about the issues. let's let him defend some of the policies he took in positions he took in in in minnesota, which a lot of people in pennsylvania are gonna view extreme the cited abortion law, which is pretty unfettered and, you know, up to, the ninth month and abortion on demand kind of, quote, unquote, he signed laws that provide illegal immigrants with driver's license educational benefits, health care benefits, which some people may see team extreme. he has a position that it will have to defend and i think that more people like david said, he looks at a bunk, you're looking fella, right? he looks like jim gaffigan to certain extent, right. so let's let

them out there, lets people probe them, ask questions about his positions, and defend his policy positions. this shouldn't be about what you look like, who you all or what your races. this should be about the policy. so the more people get to hear about his policies, i think the people in some of these small towns won't be so thrilled about them. they won't be so thrilled about some of the more socialist kind of progressive policies that the governor has spouse and putting in place while governor of minnesota, i liked that both davids are advocating for the same plan of attack but seeing very different outcomes here from the conversations and from we have stock in an rv companies. >> i think you clearly do after what you could take it on a tour of all the major league ballparks in the country. >> i wouldn't be listed donald donald trump is claiming that he's thrilled about walz as the pick. >> i want to play some of what he had to say nobody knew how radical left she was, but he's a smarter version of her. if you want to know the truth, he's probably about the same as bernie sanders. he's probably more so than bernie

sanders. this is a ticket that would want this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner. >> i do have to say i'm still struggling to understand what sooner than immediately. that's a separate issue in all seriousness, when you when we hear donald trump say he is thrilled with walz behind the scenes how do you think the campaign is actually feeling about this pick of governor walz will listen, there was a sigh of relief down in palm beach when it wasn't josh shapiro, a continent centrist who i think there were genuinely afraid of. >> but then i think they saw was performed and i think he outperformed expectations. somebody said it, well, he's a very progressive record, but he reads republican. he reads midwest or uncle oh, your dad, a relatable good communicator. now, there are no centrist in this race on either ticket. that's just a fact looking at the record. but one campaign is running a disciplined message which is making overtures to the middle to independents. and that's the harris-walz campaign you saw it on display last night. there was this moment on the campaign trail today where people started chanting chanting, lock him up, and kamala harris had sort of a

john mccain moment where she said, we're going to let the courts take control of that rather than encouraging that divisiveness that has consumed our politics, the trump campaign cannot land a message. i don't know why, because there to urban's point is plenty of content to attack them on policies that are seen as too progressive and a lot of this country. but instead it's personal, it's name-calling of clawing her komaba. i don't even know what that is. she has truly confounded the trump campaign and they've got to short runway to really try to define her an effective way. and i've yet to see them do. >> what they're facing a democratic convention in a couple of weeks that will be all about defining her before for a, big audience, yeah, i think they, they do have problems, but it's interesting to me that the president is not out there. i mean, you know, he's making sort of drop-ins on fox and friends, but i think part of the reason is he's not helping himself out there if i were his manager, i'd say i want you to take a rest because he goes to georgia and he takes on a fight with the most popular republican in georgia.

and clearly he is confounded by this new challenge. he thought he had the race under control. he doesn't have the race under control anymore. and they're struggling. but in terms of this issue of communism, i mean i don't know that people in small town or big town america think paid family leave as communism. i don't know that they think that school lunches or communism paid free school lunches or communism. i thought i thought whilst did a good job of answering this question when he was asked this and one of his interviews. so i think he i think he'll do okay. dave urban in those small towns when he has that back-and-forth, erica i'm gonna be i'm going to be in those small towns acts. i'm going to be in there making sure he doesn't do okay. >> all right. david axelrod in an in an rv. >> i'd love to see you guys together. that would be great. >> people. i listen, there's no one's gonna mistake as brothers, but, you know, erica,

david has a point there when you talk about things like communism, what does that mean, right? it does, it, does it mean much to people, but you need to you need to peel back the onion and talk about issues. well, you know, governor, what, how do your policies, who's going to pay for those things? who is going to pay for the free largest who's going to pay for these things? where does the money come from? and let people explain it. let's have a debate on the merits and end to trump's point out, the communist part don't see as a communist, just say, look, bernie sanders is probably the most progressive, the most liberal member of congress. this was bernie sanders pick for vice president. that's people should be talking josh shapiro, beloved in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, who would have given the trump excuse me, the harris campaign a huge bump would have probably probably won the state for her they passed over josh shapiro for bernie sanders, pick why? because the only thing i can tell is josh shapiro is the jewish faith. i can't tell any other reason why, you know, there are political malpractice

know something about this. hold on a second, dave. i know something about this process and i think what we would cnn reported and what others have reported is the truth. i don't think they could get together on what the role was. i don't think josh appear on unnecessarily was hungering for the vice presidency if the vice presidency wasn't going to be what he thought he would be comfortable with. and i am not sure that she was comfortable with what he thought the vice presidency should be. that is why i think he might well have ended up with a position, but that's what happened, but i under stand the talking point. it's it's i mean, as a member of the jewish community, i'm not very compelled by it, but i understand you're making it. >> i also want to i do want it get in here again again erica, just say real quickly, it's hard to make the compelling case then that donald trump is going to end the world if you can't have two senior members of democratic party agree to et together to take down the existential threat to the globe. you want, i think if this thing devolves into a

debate about judgment and vice presidential candidates, it may not, you may not end up on the losing end of that. >> so i'm going to throw one it out what i was struck by astead as you've been doing some reporting since this shift? did to the harris campaign right before whilst was added about these so-called double-hater voters. so real quickly before we wrap this up, there is some movement there and there is some change. >> there is absolutely change and there's more upside to harris has specifically among the margin of others, that biden was doing worse with, he was doing fine among regular democrats, the type of people who vote in primaries, they were the ones holding on it was the people who are less and less likely to vote in presidential elections, people of color, younger people, folks who only vote every four years, non-college educated voters. all of that upside is much higher under harris, we call people back from times polling who had said they weren't going to participate, and they almost universally that they are more engaged in the race and more likely to vote for harris because of this this was also true in the wisconsin marquette law poll today kamala harris is doing much better than biden, but even so they asked a

hypothetical about what would happen if this race witness changed. and trump was six points up. that shows the clear switch that this moving her to the top of the ticket for the upside opportunity has provided the party what, a month or really feels like a decade his van. and there are still 90 days to go appreciate it. thank you all for being here tonight. outfront next, the new reporting from inside the trump campaign, why they were doing everything they could to prevent pennsylvania governor josh shapiro from becoming kamala harris is running mate plus i'll speak with a former student who harris mentioned while speaking about her new running coach, walz was approached by a student in his social studies class the young man was one of the first openly gay students at the school, and was hoping to start a gay straight alliance and it's a story you'll see first on outfront walz, no stranger to china, in fact, honeymoon there so what does he think of the conduct? >> mean this country erin

>> no computers that are used in our election have software that was illegal, will miss information cause chaos in november so election, the whole story with anderson cooper, sunday at 8:00 on cnn the russia are trying to spy on us. >> we were spying on them. >> this is secret but war secrets and spies now streaming on max denied vice president harris and her new running mate, governor tim walz, about to take the stage. >> and the key battleground state of michigan. and this comes as donald trump is out there celebrating harris's pick for vp he's a very, very liberal man and he's a shocking pick. and i'm thrilled. i could not be more thrilled. he's probably about the same as bernie sanders well new reporting reveals the trump campaign was really doing everything it could to hurt pennsylvania governor josh shapiro's chances of joining the democratic ticket, even forging an alliance with some of their enemies on the far left outfront. >> now, marc caputo, national political reporter for the

bulwark. marc, good to see you tonight. one trump adviser actually told you and i'm quoting here we amplified the left just on twitter. we fed shapiro opposition research to the media. we did what we could to create more noise and discontent why were they so concerned about shapiro on the ticket? >> shapiro sort of a dual threat in the eyes of the trump campaign one, he's a governor of pennsylvania, he's got a job approval in the 60s. that's really good pennsylvania is the biggest swing stay with 19 electoral college votes and it's very crucial to trump's path to victory essentially, if the polling is right and he wins the south and sun sunbelt states as most of the polling and indicated up until relatively recently, that left pennsylvania's this big prize and going up against shapir on the ticket in the trump campaign's eyes just made it more complicated. also, shapira is more of a moderate record. >> he is endorse, supported some things that republicans have supported. one of the things, for instance, a school choice or vouchers. and 11, the

trump campaign's eyes, this made it more difficult for them to argue or would have made it more difficult for them to argue and kamala harris was quote, dangerously liberal whereas with walls in their view, it's a lot easier wanted me through a little bit more of what exactly this sort of strategy was behind the scenes to try to hurt shapiro's chances i think it's more tactics and strategy. >> and this has not rocket science, this is not 4d chess. this is what campaigns do all the time if they see an opponent, they don't want to face. they do what they can to make sure they don't have to face him so i'm not at liberty to say exactly what they did. but i was made privy to certain things. where they made sure that the media reported a lot about shapiro's idf record, his better side is israel record, which was a big problem with progressives. and they made sure that some of their allies who are sort of go go-betweens between them and the progressives would flag their social media posts to

give it more amplification, to give it more traffic. now, the trump campaign will admit that his advisers will say, like, look, we were not determinative in this effort in this decision by harris not to pick shapiro. but what's indicative of is the fact that they didn't want to face shapiro and that if they had to pick, they would take walls or someone else over him mark good to see you. >> appreciate it. thanks thanks outfront. now, democratic senator john fetterman of pennsylvania, senator, nice to have you with us tonight your state. i don't need to tell you this seen as a key to winning the election. does choosing governor walz over shapiro make it more difficult for this democratic ticket in november no, that's ridiculous i'd like to remind that joe biden crushed pennsylvania in 2020 with harris as the vice president by over 150,000 votes and harris can and will carry pennsylvania regardless of who

she sure. i chose for vice president as well. and that's how exactly how it's going to play out there is this very clear republican talking point that has emerged in the last 24 hours that josh shapiro was not chosen because of anti-semitism in the more liberal wing of the democratic party. >> do you think there is an issue within your party of anti-semitism? and are you confident that it's being addressed? >> that's just absurd and dm did they know trump and everyone's talking about anyone other than vance. now let's why are we talking about appointing the dumbest choice and a vice president ever? you know, it's strange. their walz isn't on record claiming that he hates it's the police, but vance does and vance now has confirmed and the interviews that trump is a sexual abuser and he has referred to him as hitler's america. and he is going after people that haven't have kids are cat ladies or nadh trope is going

and two rants about talking about who by ratios and things myo children or biracial, including senator fanciest children are buying racial. so if you really want to talk about anything, of course, they want to talk about anything trump would be more eager to talk about stormy daniel's than talking about vance. and that's been a train wreck and it's just bizarre that we're still talking about some weird parlor game that's doubts been over that we know what the ticket is, and that's going to win pennsylvania president biden just sat down for an interview with cbs news. >> he was asked about his feelings, about a peaceful transfer of power. if donald trump loses here's what the president had to say i'm not coughing all he means when he says we don't take him seriously, he means it all this stuff about if we lose, there'll be a bloodbath donald trump was referencing an economic bloodbath that said, do you share president biden's concerns if donald trump in

fact loses come november i mean, of course, he he's just he's a sore loser and he got smoked in 2020 and he lied and fox news had to pay $800 in court because fox and carry that kinds of lies and of course, trump is going to try to do anything thing he can. >> but i don't think it's going to be possible now because i think harris is going to have definitive kinds of a win. and that's why i'm proud to be part of that team. harris and walz now, as they raised $36 million just that in 24 hours on that and look at what happen in philadelphia. look at what seeing right now in michigan, you look at the kind of energy that's across the nation right now. and what really sucks for the republicans, while it's, it's just a regular dude like his net worth is like a couple of hundred thousand dollars, which is much just like a lot

for your average americans and talking about communism like that dude that was on here like, that's just dumb talking about communism and that kinds of it's bizarre and it's talking about school lunches and standing up for lgbtq community are talking about making insulin cost $35 or les, i mean, talking about communism, it's dumb and it's all just a weird kinds of a, of a strategy because everybody wants to avoid talking about what a hot mess. vance is as vice president and how he's even marching up to vice presidents oh, plane on. i mean, that's, that's bizarre. like who does who does that kind of stuff and thinking you're going to just march over i mean, it's i mean, that's that's what it's like. if we want to talk about the vice president and the choice, and there's some kinds of you

know, we're going to have some kinds of like we can avoid picking somebody like, let's talk about why you picked that guy because vance is in his superpower is sinking. and that's why he won in ohio and he has a terrible campaigner, any barely got buy-in ohio, which is a hard red state. and he seemed so well hard to be now picked after saying terrible things about trump right now. and now, he's been nothing but a drag on the trump campaign and the republicans are really eager to talk about anything other than, you know, how terrible of a vice president selection of vance is senator john fetterman. we appreciate your time tonight, and i think it's clear why will you stand on j.d. vance? your fellow senator, as well, sir? thank you. again thank you very much well, outfront next to you, we're looking at live pictures here out of detroit. we are waiting on harris and walz. they're just about to speak. we're going to bring you that live also ahead here. i'll speak with one of tim

was hoping to start a gay straight alliance. >> at a time at a time when acceptance was difficult to find for lgbtq students. tim knew the signal that it would send to have a football coach get involved so he signed visa groups faculty advisor well, joining me now that student jacob right-hand, who was the first openly gay students and advocate or west high school? >> kim huemer, a longtime teacher at that school, also with my who taught alongside walls a3 to have you both jacob ino a lot has been made of the

governor's time as a teacher, as a football coach. as i understand it, you were subject to a fair amount of bullying. you said from some of those football players in particular, having their coach as an adviser to this new gay straight alliance was really important. i know in your view, it sent an important message why yeah. >> i mean, i was bullied in high school from different folks and it was a different time. the 90s was a time when the word gay meant stupid. and having the support of teachers like tim and gwen walz and mrs. hamer. she was also my speech coach, was important did you have any idea in that moment last night that the vice president was going to share your story i didn't know that the story was going to be in the speech, but so it was surreal. >> i was actually at a watch party at a that was put on by

the human rights campaign in here. and minneapolis. and i was in another room and people said she's talking about you, so very surreal. >> as has it all sunk in yet? >> it's a little overwhelming. but at the same time, i'm more than happy to tell the story of tim and gwen walz and all they did to support their students gay and otherwise, they were involved in their students lives in so many different ways from football coach to speech coach to cheerleading coach to the gay straight alliance adviser to prom committee so they were involved in all manner of students lives at west came to speak of noted this was the 90s this was 1999. we're talking about don't ask, don't tell within the school and within the community. how much was there for this alliance were jacob frankly at that time i think we always

focused on activities for students and we know as teachers that we really want to connect with students, we want students to feel like they belong somewhere. for students who we're gay. that was probably the only thing that was there. again, the 90s, something were learning. we certainly are glad that we were a little bit on the forefront of that. we're proud of that, and we're proud that we still continue with that today and that we hope all of our students find a home at mankato west and that all students find a home in their schools and kate of westwards a special place. >> so many teachers were involved in students lives. i didn't know that i was going to be speaking today with mrs. armor, but she was my tennis coach. she was another one of my speeches, speech coaches. i was at a wedding and so it was a special school. but the walzes were certainly special within that school. i remember when they were coming as teachers to west, they were

heralded as these impressive newly married teachers from nebraska. and we thought boy, how lucky are we that we got these new teachers at west high school and now we re your former teacher right there who just took the stage and we do need to take some of this, but your former teacher there, of course, now a candidate for vice president quite a trajectory. >> thank you both. let's listen in real quickly without caring for your neighbors. thank you for showing michigan look we share a lot of things that's one of them we're neighbors and we're not weird. that's for sure. >> but what i got to tell you something else we share is a care for the incredible natural resources we in the upper midwest and our states we care for 20% of the world's freshwater in those great legs and the great lakes have no better friend than your senator centers stab now i got some members of congress. i had the privilege of serving with and some that are new to that blaze. let's be clear. we got
