With byron pitts. Good evening. Thank you for joining us. Tonight, with just 83 days left until election day, Presumptive Democratic of candidate for president , joe biden and Kamala Harris stepping out for the first time and already on the offensive. Heres janai norman. This is a moment of real consequence for america. Everything we care about, its all on the line. Reporter this afternoon in delaware, the official debut of the joe bidenKamala Harris ticket. The former Vice President and hi his historymaking choice. This morning, all across the nation, little girls woke up, especially little black and brown girls, who so often feel overlooked and undervalued in their communities. But today, today just maybe theyre seeing themselves for the first time in a new way. Joe, im so proud to stand with you. And i do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me. Whose sacrifice, determination and resilience makes my presence here today even possible. Reporter the candidates walking out with masks on, socially distant, and almost entirely alone in a high school gym. The reality of campaigning during a pandemic. It was bidens first significant event in five months. Both he and harris taking direct aim at president trump. Donald trump has already started his attacks, calling kamala, quote, nasty. Whining, about how shes quote, mean to his appointees. Its no surprise. Because whining is what donald trump does best. He inherited the longest economic expansion in history. From barack obama and joe biden. And then, like Everything Else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground. Reporter the chance to witness history not lost on supporters gathered outside the gym. My colleague, mary bruce talking to them. I heard he was picking Kamala Harris, i had to sit for a minute. Because it really was, and i told somebody earlier that it really was breathtaking. Reporter harris is the daughter of immigrants, a jamaican father and indian mother who met fighting for civil rights. Now as the first woman of color on a Major Political party ticket, shes become a symbol for many of whats possible. For me, she checks off all of the boxes. She comes from a very diverse, multicultural background. She has a 30plus year career in fiors right. Reporter the power of this moment also hitting home for Stacy Johnson batiste, whos been friends with harris since they were kids. She stood up for me, so when we were in kindergarten, there was a boy that had taken my art project and threw it on the ground and broke it. And she said something, got in between hem and me, and, you know, he got so upset, and we were kids, he picked up a rock, hit her in the head, and i think she still has that scar to this day. You know, thats the spirit, the fighter in her, standing up for whats right and wanting to take care of people. There would be no senator harris as our vp without the courageous, bold candidacy of Shirley Chisholm back in 72, with ibb wells. Reporter he is the founder of she the people. She hosted a president ial forum that included thencandidate harris. We didnt want to be just the backbone vote, we want to governor, we want to shape the country, we want to shape the political agenda. Now were in a position to do that. When i saw a broken justice system, i became a lawyer to try to fix it. Reporter she was californias top cop, serving as attorney general for 2011 to 2017. She was the first black, and asian woman to serve. Some take issue with her decisions on policing. Has senator harris demonstrated a willingness to reexamine those past views . Shes got a real difficult job ahead. Its hard to run away from years and years and years of bro prosecuting black and brown bodies in the manner in which she did. Shes got a mighty tall task ahead of her, in terms of convincing them that shes not the same person that she was all those years when she was californias top cop. Reporter over the years, shes changed her position on various issues. Senator harris, you released your plan reporter my colleague, linsey davis pressed her on that. You used to oppose legalization of marijuana, now you dont. You used to oppose outside investigations of police shootings, now you dont. You say youve changed because were you quote, swimming against the current and thankfully the currents have changed. But when you had the power, why didnt you try to effect change then . [ applause ] so there have been, im glad you asked me this question. And there have been many distortions of my record. I made a decision that if i was going to have the ability to reform the system, i would try to do did from the inside. Reporter do you think she needs to be better prepared to defend that record . Many believe she is political to a fault, that she will morph herself into the position that best suits the situation that she is in. And, you know, thats where candidates get into trouble. She needs to craft a message that looks forward while also acknowledging the shortcomings of the past. Because thats what they were. Reporter during her run for president last year, the senator fo plan that would in part end mandatory minimum sentences, the death penalty, solitary confinement and cash bail. This summer, she teamed up with senator cory booker to introduce the George Floyd Justice in policing act which in part would ban chokeholds and noknock warrants, calls for independent investigations of Police Misconduct and establish a national Police Misconduct registry. Whats important now is who shes showing up right now. She was one of the first senators to be out with protesters in solidarity in the wake of the murder of george floyd, called for justice for breonna taylor. Sponsored legislation to protect essential workers. The majority of essential workers are black and brown women. Reporter what does she give the campaign . She comes very qualified for the job. Theres no question about it. For joe biden, whos been accused of being pulled to the left, she brings the perception of a centrist ticket, which is appealing to independents. Reporter so far, team trump struggling to find a line of attack against harris. Trump surrogates called harris, a former district attorney, both too soft on criminals and too tough. I dont want someone who says that they are not going to be tough on hardened criminals. Reporter but then. She fought to keep inmates locked up in overcrowded prisons. Reporter in an interview with Sinclair Broadcasting today, trump once again calling harris nasty. She was the nastiest of anybody in the senate. She was the worst, meanest person to judge kavanaugh, who became justice kavanaugh. Ive never seen anything like it. When they use the word nasty, its shorthand for den greating the integrity and humanity of a woman. Its also racist. Reporter harris following in the footsteps of geraldine faray row and sarah palin. They faced sexist attacks. Theres something about a black woman being in that role that attracts a more sinister combination of racism and sexism. Thats what she will continue to face. I think the way kamalas going to deal with attacks on her character is by sticking to the issues, sticking to the truth, and not getting derailed by mudslinging. Reporter harris is readying for the battle ahead, and so is her running mate. Kamala harris has had your back, and now we have to have her back. I couldnt be prouder. To be by his side, running to represent you. The people. Our thanks to janai. Up next, it once had the highest infection rate of coronavirus anywhere in the u. S. How the Navajo Nation fought back.

[ barking ] the Navajo Nation bouncing back from a vicious battle with a foreign invader, flattening the coronavirus curve on the reservation, but the fight far from over as officials seek to keep their most vulnerable safe during the pandemic. Heres abcs matt gutman. Reporter in the expanse of red rocks where the Navajo Nation suffered one of the highest covid19 infection rates per capita in the country, tonight a flicker of hope. Numbers here are on the decline. We have never gone through Something Like this in this magnitude before. Reporter when cases started to rise in april, navajo president jonathan nez listened to the scientists and ordered some of the strictest measures in the country, including a 57hour weekend curfew and mandatory mask wearing. How many daily new cases were there, and how many new cases per day are there now . We were having days that were over 100 covid19 positive cases a day. As of now this discussion, from yesterday to today, 22 new cases. I believe our lowest was seven a couple of days ago. You know, we had one of the most stringent Public Health orders in the country, and the navajo people saw that it worked. And now, not many people are complaining. Reporter yeah, i would say much more, much more stringent than the mask wearing was the curfew. I dont think theres anyplace like it in the country that had curfews nightly and over the weekends as well. We used our sovereign ability to govern ourselves, and that included these stringent Public Health orders. Things on the Navajo Nation are working. Reporter motels used to house and isolate the ill. The Navajo Nations population of about 170,000 has access to only about 20 icu beds. We met a doctor whos practicing emergency medicine from the back of his car. But there were limits to what thte do. So ems has just showed up, because the gentleman is telling the folks here that hes got shortness of breath, asthma. Reporter the doctor is the cofounder of the Health Initiative at ucsf. He teamed up with the cope program. They established rounds at this motel in gallup, new mexico where the unsheltered and sick could go to get off the street and away from extended families. The headaches are bothering you. Yeah. Any blurry vision . Reporter amid the onslaught of covid infections, four motels were used as respiratory clinics. Dr. Eileen making her rounds of covid cases, her office in those bags. If you had told me weeks ago that i would be starting elderly patients in a room by themselves without family members and keeping them in a motel, closed up in a room, i would never have believed it. Reporter but even the motels filled up. So they converted a gym into a clinic. We went back there in may, when the per capita rate of infection soared to that past of new york and new jersey. Gallup, new mexico reaching capacity. From what were hearing, this could be the epicenter of covid in the country right now. Yes, youre totally right. Reporter the poverty and lack of infrastructure in this area, spanning arizona, new mexico and utah making it much worse. The Navajo Nation is larger than west virginia, but 40 of the people who live here dont have electricity, and many dont have access to Running Water, which is why they need to pump water at wells like this. Grassroots efforts have worked to provide food and water. The hopi fund raising 5. 7 million, setting up makeshift hand washing stations and distributing them around the reservation. Its one fix to address the hygiene issue. Reporter in the vastness of the reservation, under the shadow of Chimney Butte is where the doctor grew up. Also without Running Water or power. Shes now the only navajo emergency physician at this urgent care clinic in winslow, arizona. Youre getting peopl ts p lot t this is not technically an icu or hospital. Its an urgent care. She says the closest icu facility is at least an hour away by helicopter or three hours in an ambulance. Of course, its no longer a hospital. And growing up, the doctor says she never saw medical professionals with a face like her own. I never saw a nativeamerican as a nurse or a doctor. Sometimes theres a disconnect when language and cultures are not meeting. We know that just by studies and even by experience, we are not going to have the best health care. Reporter she left her family and moved to an apartment an hour away to try to minimize the risk of infecting the group of people shes trying to save. My job is immensely hard, because i have such a connection to my people and my land. Our elders, our teachers, our protectors. They hold all of the key elements that we need to have a strong sense of identity. Reporter Dorothy Scott was one of 11 People Living in this traditional hut with her family when disease and death struck. As you were burying your one son who had just died from covid you heard that your husband had just died. I got a call that he pass away. Reporter of the 11 family members, eight were positive, two died. Those left behind were split into two rooms under strict quarantine. But for the first time in a week they were allowed out for that round of hugs. What do you hope for the days to come . I hope that the navajo people will continue to do the things that help bring the numbers down. Reporter for nightline, im matt gutman. Our thanks to matt. Up next. Its never too late for love.
