Off camera, I'm going to ask you what's going on with Joelle Embiid, because I have no idea what's up with that. But Philadelphia Mayor Sherelle Parker, thanks so much. As we get closer to tonight's CNN Town Hall, what can we expect to hear from Vice President Harris? And how is she planning to spend her last 13 days before Election Day? I'm going to be joined live by her campaign co-chair. That's ahead.

has this power to be able to take very vulnerable people and he exploits it for profit. I'm
Speaker 3
talking to Robbie Parker about the death of his daughter at Sandy Hook. He
Speaker 1
exploited me and my daughter for profit and he exploits his listeners for the same thing. How

he helped sue Alex Jones' Infowars and won and what he thinks of election year gun politics. Listen to The Assignment with me, Audie Cornish, streaming now on your favorite podcast app.

The stage is set and in just a few hours, Vice President Kamala Harris is going to be here live for a CNN town hall with Pennsylvania voters. Welcome to The Lead. I'm Jake Tapper. And we're live in Delco, also known as Delaware County, one of the collar counties of Philadelphia. If you've heard the phrase before, it's because these counties played a crucial role in so many elections and they will play a critically important role again this year. We're just 13 days away from Election Day, and while the vice president is heading here for tonight's debate, I mean, for tonight's event, Donald Trump is on the campaign trail in Georgia, another critical battleground. Trump's team is also fighting to deflect from and discredit a report in The Atlantic and another one in The New York Times that says, while President Trump told his staff, quote, I need the kind of generals that Hitler had, people who were totally loyal to him that follow orders, that coming from Trump's longest serving chief of staff, John Kelly, the retired Marine general, who also told the Times that Trump would rule like a dictator if reelected and that he meets the definition of a fascist and that he does not understand America or the Constitution. The Trump campaign has called Kelly's accusations, quote, debunked stories and said that General Kelly suffers from Trump derangement syndrome. And Vice President Harris reacted earlier today to these stories. We
Speaker 13
know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be what do the American people want?
