And india are working together to confront threats posed by china as the u. S. Times defends deals with new delhi. At the at. The end thank you very much for joining us with exactly one week to go before the u. S. Election theres been a surge in early voting partly due to end despite the coronavirus by demick more than 63000000 americans have voted by monday night thats 4000000 more than all early votes 4 years ago National Polls are getting democratic contender joe biden a solid lead although its a lot tighter in some battleground states but the coronavirus pandemic continues to overshadow the campaign infections a surging with some states concerned about the lack of hospital beds nearly half a 1000000 cases have been confirmed in the past week alone with more than 225000 deaths since the pandemic began stock markets in the. Way saw their biggest one day drop in a month on monday as concerns grow that the failure to contain the outbreak will hurt the economic recovery and rescue package remains held up in congress with democrats and republicans deadlocked over the details that speak to our White House Correspondent kimberly how kid can be so 7 days to go until the election opinion polls not looking good for donald trump whats the Trump Campaign strategy as it makes its closing pitched a vote. Yeah well couple of things 1st of all they are touting this success of donald trump and keeping a Campaign Promise from 2016 to make appointments to the Supreme Court donald trump as of last night with the swearing in for any kone barrett making 3 appointments to the high court something that weve not seen since Ronald Reagan the other big thing that they are touting is the law and order message in other words what needs some of those suburban women voters and this is a message that appeals to them so he is continuing to underscore that he will bring law and order arguing that democrats brings social unrest on the streets but youre right there is no doubt that the polls are not looking good for donald trump and this hows the. Democratic campaign on a bit of the offensive in terms of going into areas like georgia today where they believe that donald trump has made a little bit of a foothold particularly with male voters of color and as a result they are trying to counterbalance as you say the Democratic Campaign on the offensive former president barack obama have been stumping for biden in harris in florida florida of course is generally conservative leaning in 2020 who knows where its going to go is obama support a good thing for for the biden campaign. Absolutely its a good thing you have to remember brock obama is one of the most charismatic campaigners his or oratorial skills are certainly 2nd to none and far beyond the capabilities of joe biden his Vice President for 8 years so this is the area of a great battleground in terms of florida its a key state that donald trump wants to win its also the state where donald trump lives so its getting under donald trump skin the fact that barack obama is campaigning in his backyard in fact the president tweeting just now im happy that fox news is that is the president s Favorite Network is playing Barack Obamas rally he criticized it calling it a fake speech for biden a man that he could barely endorse because believe he was also i prepared many millions of dollars in taxes of russia what that means the bottom line is you could hear the helicopters taking off donald trump delayed his departure by about 30 minutes and we think it was because he was watching barack obama on t. V. In florida that pivotal battleground state theres no question that this campaign is nervous thank you very much for that can believe it at the white house. Where we now had to another battleground region of america about the midwest which is key in this 2020 u. S. Election we speak for john hendren was in chicago for us to midwest of course very important swing states in the midwest Donald Donald trump how to gudrun i mean he did well in the midwest 4 years ago have things changed or does a president still have a hold on the midwest. Well donald trump is behind in the polls and playing defense and thats exactly where he was in 2016 around this time he turned that around and hes hoping to do it again by appearing over and over in these midwestern swing states west time trump won largely by flipping a number of democratic leaning states across the midwest he won in pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin those were all upset victories and in ohio that was a one state he was expected to win last time around here hes going to have to win in those states again this time at least get a majority of them even if he wins some of those other big states like florida and last time he did it by winning in rural areas but also in suburbs the cities are pretty solidly democratic territory so we went to michigan and we went to a suburban county thats known as kind of a bellwether it voted for barack obama and then it voted for donald trump its called mccomb county it lies between 2 great lakes lake huron and lake erie we put together a story after talking to voters take a look. Mccomb county which sits between 2 great lakes lake huron and lake erie is scenic patriotic middle class and overwhelmingly white in the last election trump resonated here in 2016 pledged he would not cut Medicare Medicaid or Social Security very different from other republican candidates and i think that combined with a lot of his appeals to white identity politics really i think really appealed to a lot of people in my home county. Trump inspires tributes on land and water and a rare devotion among supporters to the greatest president weve ever had in my lifetime he has made so many promises and hes kept more promises that hes made which has never happened ever as i believe in all his policies hes gotten the job done so far hes prolife hes everything i believe in. The 2020 election will test whether hes still popular here despite the coronavirus and an economic collapse has democrat joe bidens Campaign Workers canvassed the county early drained out or there were 3 more he leads trump handily in recent polls whats changed is this mask the epidemic here as been very difficult we have lost over a 1000 people to call the president doesnt have a plan doesnt pretend to have one he wants more people to die joe biden will have a plan that will fix this code so that we can try and get back to normal life what has also changed is a growing political conflict within the state. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer as aggressive Pandemic Response led armed protesters to force their way into the state capital and it led to the arrest of 13 militia members who allegedly planned to kidnap or in trump has been fanning the flames youve got to get your governor to open up your state. Trump is definitely playing defense hes spending the day in michigan in wisconsin and in nebraska nebraska is is solidly republican state although almost always votes for the republican candidate and those other 2 states are states that he has won last time around meanwhile joe biden is playing off and hes in georgia thats a state republicans generally win so hes trying to expand the map and trump is trying to hold on to those states that he has won but there is bad news in a new university of wisconsin poll that suggests that biden is actually expanded his it lead that hes as much as 9 points ahead in wisconsin 8 in michigan and 7 in the state of pennsylvania we have talked to pollsters though who say it might be much closer than they expect opposed to come close the candidates to come closer together before election day even though 66000000. 00 people have already voted but they also say there are some shy trump voters that may not be represented in these polls that may not talk to pollsters and therefore d trump might have one to 2 Percentage Points more than we are seeing in those polls but from what were seeing right now that still wont be enough thank you for that john hendren reporting there live from chicago and 3 of our series touring some of the battleground states in americas midwest john hendren reports from ohio a very much a swing state in 2020 to find out what matters to voters.
