Aljazeera paris. The u. S. Is also experiencing record daily spikes and infections even as President Trump repeatedly claims on the campaign trail that the pandemic will end quickly democratic nominee joe biden has pledged to prioritize science to combat the virus and hes vowed not to make false promises meanwhile newly released audiotapes have revealed Donald Trumps senior advisers out of kush not outlining a deliberate strategy to resist expert medical advice u. S. Media has released recordings of them saying in april that they were quote getting the country back from the doctors a former u. S. Homeland security official has admitted to being the white house insider who wrote a scathing all pad 2 years ago condemning donald trump miles taylor is supporting joe biden and has called trump a moral petty and ineffective and the u. S. Supreme court has rejected a republican bid to limit when mail in ballots can be received in 2 key swing states thats pennsylvania and North Carolina President Trump has regularly attacked mail in voting making claims of fraud without any evidence and mike hanna is joining us live now from washington d. C. Donald trump was just saying a couple of days ago that it would be very very proper and very nice if it went to was declared on november the 3rd now this Supreme Court decision kind of gets in the way of that hope doesnt it. It does indeed because what the Supreme Court has now done is up hold a pennsylvania Supreme Court decision to allow the voting to continue essential email in voting to be received up until november the 6th so this is now a 3 day extension so this is an important detail because these votes that arrive late because of postal delays or whatever may actually be decisive in a state like pennsylvania in 20161 pennsylvania by only 40 1000. 00 votes a very narrow win there so in this time its believed to be even close to certainly all the polls indicate that its a very tight struggle between joe biden and President Trump hence President Trump has been trying to limit the possibility of postal votes that are received after the polls closed be encountered once again theres a factor in this is that traditionally it is Democrats Use the postin vote service more than the republicans but theres a catch here as well although the court has now ruled on the matter it is still laid open the possibility of looking at the decision again straight after the election and then passing down a different decision now the court is completely split on this issue last week on the same issue concerning pennsylvania the court was split 4 to 4 so the pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling was upheld but the republicans brought this new case because of the new judge on the Supreme Court. Bennett that she did not sit on this particular hearing because the court says she had not enough time to be prepared but she may well be there straight after the election which may will give the conservatives a majority in the court and a 5 to vote on Something Like this but all of that being said now weve just heard in the last few minutes the court has also ruled on North Carolina saying that mail in voting can be extended there along. With pennsylvania that constitutes 2 stinging defeat spy that for the republicans on one day mike thanks very much indeed maicon not talking to us from washington d. C. Now when it comes to u. S. Elections analysts say its ohio that predicts the winning candidate has done that and 30 of the past 32 president ial votes john hendren reports. Clevelands industrial skyline rises from the ohio coast on lake erie and its ohio as ricks an industry agriculture and service jobs that make it a microcosm of the u. S. And thats what makes ohio the bellwether state. For decades all routes to the white house have gone through here ohio has voted for the winner in every president ial election since 1064 and they take voting seriously here i think its most important especially if you want to see change no republican has ever won the presidency without 1st winning in ohio.
