Were going to turn to washington and the new poll showing that six in ten americans disapprove of the president s response to the pandemic and just 34 trust what he has to say about this crisis. This, of course, coming as members of the president s own party publicly criticize his response. Our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce has more from washington. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, cecilia. Well, the impact of the president s handling of this pandemic is clear. As cases go up, the president s Approval Rating is now going down. But even as he faces criticism for members of his own party, the president is still trying to change the subject. As coronavirus cases soar and his support sinks, president or event into an elaborate photoop featuring pickup trucks, giant weights symbolizing government regulation, and saying that the biggest threat facing the country is actually joe biden. Our entire economy and our very way of life are threatened by bidens plans to transform our nation. Reporter the president is eager to move past the pandemic and focus on the economy, even though our latest polls show most americans are more concerned with containing the virus. The Trump Administration increasingly at odds with Health Officials is pushing to reopen schools against expert advice. The White House Press secretary claims the science is on their side. The president has said unmistakably he wants schools to open. When he says open, he means open in full, kids being able to attend each and every day at their school. The science should not stand in the way of this. Reporter the president is also facing growing dissent from leaders in his own party. Marylands governor, republican larry hogan penning an oped titled fighting alone about having to come up with testing strategies and supplies for the state without help from the federal government, writing, it was clear that waiting around for the president to run the nations response was hopeless. If we delayed any longer, wed u citizens to suffering and death. Now, the white house was quick to point out that Governor Hogan has previously said positive things about the president. The White House Press secretary calling this, quote, revisionist history by Governor Hogan. But there is no question that the president s handling of this pandemic is taking a toll politically and now the Republican Party has announced that they are going to be scaling back plans for their Convention Next month in florida as the outbreak there grows worse, cecilia. Okay, mary bruce, thank you so much. And joining us right now is Maryland Governor larry hogan. Governor hogan, thank you so much for joining us. Good morning to you. We heard right there, lets just get started with that, the White House Press secretary says you are on the record having praised President Trump during this pandemic. She is saying what you are now saying is revisionist history. Your response . Well, look, ive always been a straight shooter and when the president s doing a good job, i say so, and when theyre falling short and theyre not doing something that the governors desperately need im the one thats out there pushing for it and its not revisionist history at all. You know, the Washington Post ran a few excerpts from my new book, its 300 and some pages of a book and they took a couple of paragraphs out that were absolutely true, but i lead the discussions every week with the president and or Vice President and all the nations governors, and i usually start out by thanking the president , Vice President and their team for the work that theyve done that week or the things theyve responded to, but that doesnt mean i dont have the same criticisms about where they fell short. Among those criticisms you write, quote, instead of listening to his own Public Health experts, the president was talking and tweeting like a man more concerned about boosting the stock market or his reelection plans. Governor, do you still believe the president is acting that way right now . Well, again, this was an account of back in march and april at the beginning of the pandemic, and thats when i think we really fell short and fell behind on no National Testing and strategy, but i do think that sometimes that the president still ought to focus on listening to people like dr. Anthony fauci, listening to the folks at the cdc and really taking the really good advice of some of the people on his team that are working hard and doing a good job rather than just, you know, kind of changing their message and changing the position, and sometimes i think he just reacts hes his own worst enemy by coming out and just tweeting something that makes no sense and goes against what everyone else in the administration is saying. You are also the president of the National Governors association. Im not telling you anything you dont know. Very few republicans have come out to publicly criticize the president as you have or been willing to. What are you hearing privately from some of your peers . Do any share the concerns that youve expressed even if theyre not saying it publicly . Well, theres no secret, i think, that there are other republicanelected officials, both governors and senators and congressmen who have some frustrations, you know, that while they may be supportive of the president they still have some pretty big concerns about some of the shortcomings and some of the things that have gone wrong. Not too many people are willing to stand up and speak out. They dont want to be tweeted about. They dont want to be primaried and they dont want to have any wrath of the president coming after them. Im not too worried about that because i just think its important to tell the truth and get the facts out there. Im in a state where i run about 40 points ahead of the president , and the president lost my state to Hillary Clinton by almost 30 points so not much he can do to me here. You do have a mask mandate there in maryland. We are seeing this debate play out around the country, especially in georgia right now. So would a National Mask mandate help . Is that the way to go . If everyone were Wearing Masks when theyre in public or in contact, the virus cannot spread, and it would be the most effective thing. I am encouraged and its worked effectively in our state. Our economy is nearly fully open. 98 of our businesses are able to open and operate safely and its because people are listening to the advice. Theyre social distancing, theyre Wearing Masks and thats the way to get the economy back on track and its like, you know, no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service. And people feel safer and they feel more able to go out and get back to their normal lives and spend money in the economy which we desperately need as well. Governor hogan, final question. You did not vote for President Trump in 2016 and you have called this election in 2020 a difficult choice. Who are you voting for . Im the chair of the National Governors association. Im not going to get too involved in politics right now. Im going to have to make that decision between now and november. Governor hogan, have a good day. Thank you so much. Thank you. His perspective is so important, because he really has a pulse in what governors around the country are saying, and he said he is hearing from them. They are not happy and they need the help. Absolutely. Yeah. All right, thank you, cecilia. Were going to turn now to the latest on the race for a Covid Vaccine and those accusations of spying. The u. S. , uk and canada accusing Russian Hackers of trying to steal data from vaccine trials. Kaylee hartung has the latest. Reporter as the world races to find a coronavirus vaccine, american, canadian and british governments are accusing russia of spying on vaccine researchers. I think thats pretty poor. I think it needs calling out and the world should know. Reporter the nsa identifying the Espionage Group suspected of having ties tot kremlins Intelligence Services as cozy bear, saying they tried to hack pharmaceutical companies and other researchers working on a Covid Vaccine. Russia has neither the capacity or money to spend on developing vaccines, and looking to steal their way to first place. Reporter the kremlin denies the allegations but whoever may be behind the attempted hack, the motive is likely about more than saving lives. Russia not only can derive benefit economically by speeding up their own development of a vaccine but they can also disrupt our efforts to develop a vaccine and that could have dramatic implications on the Public Health and security of the united states. Reporter more than 100 different vaccines are being tested at Research Facilities around the world. More than 20 already advancing to human testing. Most promising so far, trials from oxford and moderna expected now to enter phase 3 of testing. These are the pivotal and the definitive studies that show whether or not that the vaccines are both effective at preventing covid19. I think theres a very good likelihood well have several different covid19 vaccines by next year. Reporter and that Espionage Group known as cozy bear, thats the same group believed to be behind the hacking of the Democratic Party servers in the 2016 election. They denied involvement there and so did the kremlin. Michael. All right, thank you so much, kaylee. We are following a lot of other headlines this morning.

Whington now and the growing criticism over President Trumps handling of this pandemic. This morning, i spoke to marylands republican governor larry hogan who blasted President Trump in an oped. He is one of the few republicans to criticize the president. Take a listen. I do think that sometimes that the president still ought to focus on listening to people like dr. Anthony fauci, listening to the folks at the cdc and sometimes i think he just reacts. Hes his own worst enemy by coming out and just tweeting something that makes no sense and goes against what everyone else in the administration is saying. All right, so lets bring in abcs mary bruce again. This comes as this new abc news poll shows just 34 of voters trust what the president has to say about this crisis, mary. Reporter yes, cecilia, look, the pandemic and the president s handling of this crisis is taking a real political toll. The president has been sending mixed messages on this crisis. Hes often been at odds with Health Officials and now we are seeing this widespread distrust of the president. Right now 60 of americans disapprove of the president s handling of this pandemic, bottom line, cecilia, as cases go up the president s Approval Rating is going down. That is certainly the trend. You just said it. Cases are surging. Republicans still moving ahead with the convention in jacksonville but it will be significantly scaled back, but theres now news on the democratic front.

Were having a great friday morning here in time. Hope youre having one at home as well. Tomorrow, on saturday gma, Barbara Corcoran is sharing tips for how to sell a home during the pandemic. And now it is time for pop news with lara spencer, and im sure riva is there too. No riva . No, riva is right underneath me behaving. Lets just roll with this, okay . We have a lot to talk about and i want to start with this. You guys may remember a few years ago when the brady bunch house went on the market. It was a huge deal and now this fher ic thank you for being a friend. You can own the golden girls house and a little trivia, its not in miami. The home is actually in brentwood, california. It is the first time its ever been on the market since it was built in 1955. The producers spotted it when they were shooting the first season of the golden girls in 1985. They thought the home belonging to david and Margaret Berry had the same lush landscape and look of a Florida House and paid them to use it for exteriors that first year. They then built an exact replica on a studio lot. Well, today the fourbedroomm the one we know and love on the show but still really cute. Theres no lanai, but theres a wraparound porch and vaulted ceilings, theres an awesome tricolor kitchen perfect for late cheesecake binges. If youre wondering what the girls would think about this, we found a clip of blanche devereaux from a show back in 1989 saying this. Im talking about selling the house. I just dont know if its the right thing to do. What do you mean . Would you seriously consider selling the house . Well, no, i mean i dont think so. You have to admit this is loofn frankly, more than i think the house is worth. What is it worth . The house is currently on the market for 2. 99 million. But, guys, remember when the brady bunch house went on the market they were asking 1. 8 million. It is far away in california. Well, that ended up selling for nearly double. Ultimately selling to hgtv for 3. 5 million. So if youre interested, all of you lovers of the golden girls it is on the market. Snap it up. All right, i wish i could. Also in the news today, today would have been diahann carrolls 85th birthday. Who could forget her on dynasty going coifed head to coifed head with joan collins in scenes like this. Its burned. Is it . Oh, that was quick. This morning, Kerry Washington sent us a video. She sent us a video last night paying tribute to her idol lipsyncing her lines as Dominique Deveraux while Alexis Carrington is played by bellamy young. Look at this. Its burned. Is it . The champagne was obviously frozen in the bottle at some point. If the champagne is too burned for your taste, dont drink it. The caviar i trust is not burned. I really wouldnt know. This is ostatrova, and i prefer petrossian beluga. Of course, you do. How great is it to see two stars from one of our favorite shows sharing a scene of any kind . We love the scandal cast. Such a good pal to us at gma. Kerry by the way sent that to us in honor of diahanns birthday. She told us olivia pope would not exist if it were not for ms. Carroll who she says broke the ceiling for black actresses on television. She said to me, quote, we did this video to start the party. Celebrate ms. Carroll and celebrate black women in history and, guys, kerry is working on al justice. She will be with us on Good Morning America next week. To talk about it. So sorry. Take your time. My apologies. Thank you. Finally, you guys know i love a flee market and estate sale where you can find amazing vintage pieces. You know what they say one mans trash is another mans treasure. My fellow long islander billy joel clearly believes this as well. We want you to see this video where he finds an old discarded piano on the side of a road, and this is what happens next. Look at that. The piano man playing Shelton Brooks song, so amazing. According to folks who happened to catch this really special moment, billy was on a motorcycle. He pulled over when he saw the abandoned piano. He gives his professional assessment of the pianos condition. Listen to this. That seems good. Just needs tuning. And the finish is beat. Its a relic. Its a perfectly good piano. Meone rescue it ande uggests crihr. A temy own hthise y marks e th anniversary this week of joels first ever number one hit, its still rock n roll to me. Happy anniversary. Thanks for the video and im going to go get some water. Were sending you some tea, yes. Thanks for a great pop news. Now to our gma cover story. A look at the day cares in danger of closing during the pandemic. A struggle for both employees and parents. Now lawmakers are making bills promising up to 50 billion to help them stay ho, abcs becky worley has the story. Oh, him climbing. Reporter kristen working mother of two has her hands full. Her 4yearold sons day care suddenly announcing theyre closing permanently. I just felt really overwhelmed, and what am i going to do . What are they going to do . So it was just really emotional and i just cried. Reporter so many families wrestling with this critical issue. Thats it. Theyre closing. Reporter this new york mom chronicling her daughters day care before it also shuttered. Its all empty. Without substantial public investment, this sector will collapse. It has already started to. Reporter Industry Groups like the National Association for the education of Young Children are sounding the alarm. Providers are hanging on for dear life. Theyre struggling to pay their mortgage, their rent. Their utilities, just the basic fixed costs so i would expect th wber of overs permanently shut down. Reporter saying her day care told her they couldnt afford to keep up with cdc guidelines. They would would have had to cut enrollments in half from 86 to 87 to 42 in order to keep the social distancing. Reporter day care owners like cassandra brooks who owns two centers in North Carolina now with low attendance partially because she says parents are scared to send their kids. In february the beginning of march we had like 40 children enrolled at that center in garner. Today they have three children. N and it really breaks your heart. Theres nothing you can do to try to fix this. Reporter she even dipped into her own savings to pay for extra cleaning and air purifiers. My hope is everything will turn out okay but at this point were just taking it day by day. Reporter in these uncertain times, parents like rexing agree that one thing is certain. Working without child care is not sustainable. This is just devastating for families. Its devastating for women. I hope that we can find a way as a country to figure out how to support everyone in these challenging times. Reporter for Good Morning America, becky worley, abc news, oakland, california. And our thanks to becky for that. First we head back over to ginger. Oh, im right up next to the camera. So sorry. Viz. Lets go ryan and rita, twins, dancing to dads music. They have that beat and then one of them backs up. Its one of my favorite videos when you watch it in full. They are 8 months old at this point. Theyre a little older but dad, kareem, is a musician. He is a singer and they are from michigan so thanks for sharing that with us. Please take a moment. Now we have a now we have a gma money alert for you. Mortgage rates have dropped below 3 for the first time in 50 years which could be good news if youre looking to buy or sell a home. Rebecca jarvis is here with more on this. Rebecca, good morning to you. Okay, so this is a big headline when it comes to home ownership. Reporter it is a big headline, cecilia. As you say its a positive whether youre trying to buy, sell or even refinance that Home Mortgage so if you think about it the average 30year fixed Rate Mortgage is and for people out there who are thinking what does this mean for me in real terms . If youre trying to purchase a home, for every 1 decrease, in your Mortgage Rate, the total cost of the home to you goes down about 10 , cecilia. You say, though, this smite sound tempting but not everyone might sound tempting, but not everyone should run and try to buy this house . Reporter very important to consider here. First of all, the same things apply no matter what time it is. You have to have a secure job. You want to make sure those mortgage payments, those monthly mortgage payments are below 28 of your monthly income and finally, you want to know that youre planning to stay in that home for at least five or more years and keep in mind, this is a very uncertain period as far as unemployment, we have record unemployment in this country. There are a lot of questions about the School Systems and thats a reason a lot of people go out and buy a home in the first place and taxes are also a big thing and in many places those might be going up in the future, cecilia. So much uncertainty right now. Okay, but when it comes to refinancing who should go there . Reporter as a rule of thumb you want to make sure you can save at least 0. 75 to 1 of that Mortgage Rate and be sure that you look and understand the fees because those can creep up on you and make it not worth your while. Cecilia. Rebecca jarvis, you always have the best advice. Thanks. Tom, over to you. A lot of great tips there. Now a look at tonights 20 20 digging into a racially motivated cold case cracked after decades. A young black man was murdered in georgia in the 80s and it would take years for his loved ones to finally find justice. Deborah roberts joins us now with much more. Deborah, good morning. Reporter good morning, tom. It was a gruesome murder that rattled griffin, georgia, when it happened and worse for the family. No arrests. A small southern town with a history of racial bias some feared theyd never get answers until new investigators took a closer look at this old case. For decades it was a mystery in this small georgia town. Who killed tim coggins . Olfo murdered in 1983. It would take his family 35 years to get answers. And when he was brutally murdered, how did that affect the family . How did that affect you. Well, for me it was terrible. I mean even to this day it still affects me to this day right now. Reporter tims body was found with seven stab wounds and the sign of a Confederate Flag etched into his chest. Those close to him suspected his murder had everything to do with the color of his skin. It was tim. This was a smooth guy, a guy that never bothered nobody. Always helped somebody. Reporter some wondered if his death may have been related to a woman he was dating. A white woman. Timothy coggins was a young black man back in 1983 who refused to follow societal norms. He was not following the rules of 1983, if you will and you were a klan member or a racist, any of those things would infuriate you and anger you to the point where Timothy Coggins became a target. A target that needed to be eliminated. Reporter but there were no arrests. Just rumors about klansmen and police turning a blind eye. Then the case went cold. You just feel that you are in a small, racist, south georgia town and nobody really cares about the justice for your family and what had been done to your loved one. Did that haunt the family, not having those answers . Absolutely. Absolutely. It haunted our family 26, 2016 when sheriff dix said i think well reopen the case. My motivation to solve the case without a doubt is the fact that its the right thing to do. Reporter in 2017 a new sheriff promises a fresh look at the cold case. His department and the Georgia Bureau of investigation begin looking for new evidence. And what they find will lead to answers and closure for the coggins family. [ applause ] reporter after 35 years this case was far from a slamdunk for prosecutors. Tonight on 20 20, well take you along on this investigation as they searched for answers and the coggins family, of course, prayed for justice. A really, really compelling story, tom. Sounds like a powerful show tonight. All right, deborah. Thank you. The 20 20 event in the cold dark night airs tonight at 9 00, 8 00 central on abc. Coming up, we meet watson an kiko. You see them here, two golden retrievers, they are our pets of the week. Stay with us. Retrievers, they are our pets of the week. Stay with us. Good morning, everyone. Kcalifornia will now allow aspiring attorneys to take the bar exam online for the First Time Ever because of covid19. Californias Supreme Court rule ued yesterday that the online test will take place in october after the state had already delayed the twice a year exam.

Its been so nice to celebrate all of these fabulous fellas, ladies and all different kinds of pets and today we have two positively special golden retrievers who are bringing sunshine to every person they meet. To watson and kiko, there for each other through thick and thin. Its amazing. I still think hes more like the big brother. Hes very caring and very sensitive. Reporter in 2015 watson came into jenny medranos life when she needed him the most. I have some social anxiety, watson became my emotional support dog. Hes a very gentle, nice dog. Reporter later that year, she adopted kiko, and watson and kiko had an instant connection. Sadly in 2019, kiko was diagnosed with kacancer and hado have one of his legs amputated. Fortunately he was later admitted into a vaccine study and today hes doing great. A big part of his recovery is watsons constant companionship. Here we are a year later and hes still happy. Reporter today jenny along with husband travis revel in times spent exploring with not just watson and kiko but alongside their other three pets as well who stand ready to spread the joy. Makes me very happy. I feel very lucky to have them in my life. They are so precious. Watson and kiko and their human jenny joining us right now live from eugene, oregon. Good morning, you guys. I know its early there. Oh, my goodness, are they adorable . Hi. Good morning. Oh, are they always like that, jenny . Are they always so attached .

I did notice they have their medals on. Were happy theyre joining our pet of the week club, so to speak. Let me ask you a question. We ask this to everybody. Humor us, if you will. If watson an kiko could speak if they could talk human, what do you think they would say about their bond and about us celebrating them . Probably they would show it with a hug most likely. Watson loves to hug. Ah, thank you so much for sharing. We love them. Keep us posted on how everybody is doing, okay . Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, except for im learning now that apparently my husband and i are the only ones in america who never watch watched breaking bad so we mowed through breaking bad, and got nothing done. So hooked. But we finished this thing and i want to come to work and talk to all my friends go this and everybody has seen it and no one wants to talk about it because it was on the air like i dont even know how many years ago so if you havent seen it like my husband and i, it is actually the best show on television. So good. Although its not on tv anymore. I agree. I think the best ever, top three for me. Such a great, great show. Third time is a charm. I agree. Best show ever. Ten years its been ten years. You guys want to talk about it . Great. Call me this weekend. Bravery for admitting you havent seen it and its fina enying a good album. Want you guys to listen to this. Check it out. Shake it up do you like the way i dance do you like the way i move the song is from pop smoke. The rappers debut album shoot for the stars, aim for the moon was just released this month.

This is going to be one big old hot weekend for much of the northeast, the southeast, thats asbury park, new jersey, a really nice one.

Bathwateines all right, it is time for and the one and the only Ellie Goulding, she has sold more than 115 million albums worldwide. A lot of albums and this morning shes celebrating the release of her brandnew album brightest blue joining us live from london. Ellie, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Thank you so much for having me. How are you guys . We are great. We know youve got not one but two performances for us today. We cant wait to get to those but first want to talk about your new album, brightest blue. It just dropped today. Its already getting rave reviews. What makes this album different from your previous work . I think ive had a bit more time on this one. Its been about five years since delirium, so i have been able to think about it a bit more and, you know, reflect on the last ten years of craziness and touring and, yeah, so i think its probably my most personal album, but its also the first album ive done thats two different sides. Tireth other side is more my collaborations, i can hear one in the background with slow grenade so, yeah, thats my kind of fun side, i suppose. But, yeah, ive dressed up for the occasion and its a great exciting day. So you said the album can be broken into two halves. Why was it important for you to split it up that way . Because i released these songs, already released a couple with swae lee and diplo and juice wrld, and i thought it was important to acknowledge that side. I think certainly in the states i think people hear my voice all the time apparently im on the radio sometimes, and dont necessarily know me but the other side is kind of telling my story so that, you know, its like a nice kind of thing to go doing my thing as a pop writer, and i think it was important for me to have both sides next to each other this time. We know the fans are happy that this album is out and we want to thank you for joining us so much this morning. Well get right to your performances now. This is the moment we have been waiting for. Here we go, guys, Ellie Goulding performing slow grenade.
