Listen, the candidates pulling out all the stops here in this final stretch battling over votes in the same turf as the country sees a rise in coronavirus cases. Overnight, President Trump heading into the final weekend of the campaign on a blitz through the midwest. We win this state, you know what, its over. Reporter holding packed rallies in states hit hardest by the virus. In michigan, where coronavirus cases set a new record for the Third Straight week, the president placing the blame on doctors, falsely suggesting theyre lying about the death toll. You know, our doctors get more money if somebody dies from covid. You know that, right . I mean, our doctors are very smart people. Reporter the reality, more than 229,000 americans have died from the virus and Health Experts say the president s own rallies were often followed by an increase in cases. No social distancing, few masks in sight. The president sometimes mocking those who do wear them. On friday, he singled out fox news host laura ingraham. I cant recognize you. Is that a mask . No way. Are you wearing a mask . Ive never seen her in a mask. Look at you. Whoa, shes being very politically correct. Whoa. Reporter when pressed by our Jordyn Phelps he defended those largescale events. Mr. President , do you think its at all dangerous to be holding these rallies while the numbers are going up . No, not at all. And theyre outdoor rallies. Theyre all outdoor. Anything else . Reporter as the president largely ignores the rise in cases, his rival joe biden is pointing them out. This week wisconsin like other states set a new record for daily cases, hospitals are running short on beds. Just had to open a field hospital. Thats what were facing. Reporter biden campaigning in the midwest too holding socially distanced drivein rallies. With just days to go the former vp on offense targeting iowa and wisconsin, states the president won in 2016 where cases are getting worse. Donald trump has waved the white flag. He surrendered to this virus, but the American People dont give up. Reporter and as the u. S. Hit another grim milestone, 97,000 new covid19 cases reported in a single day, the president blasting democratic lawmakers for limiting his crowd size. There are at least 25,000 people who wanted to be here tonight. Your far left democrat, attorney general keith ellison, and democrat governor, tried to shut down our rally, silence the people of minnesota and take away your freedom and your rights. Reporter with the race intensifying, the Vice President ial candidates on a swing through the southwest. On november 3rd, we need arizona to show america that this is trump country. It is time that we reject hate and division and unify as a country. Reporter and the candidates are now focused on turning out the vote. With just days to go, more than 87 million americans have already cast their ballot. President trump will be right back here in michigan, holding rallies. 87 plus a million americans have already voted, thank you so much. Lets stay in the crucial state of michigan, where rachel is, and bring in the democratic governor of that state, Gretchen Whitmer, who is coming to us from lansing. Governor, good morning. I know youve been critical of him holding rallies in your state but his team has been pushing back, the rallies are outside, handing out masks, whats your response to that . Listen, the footage tells the whole story. People are packing in right next to one another, many of them are not wearing masks, they are, you know, shouting and yelling, i mean, this is the circumstance under which we have seen covid spread. Weve seen it from his rallies. Theyve been contact traced back to the rallies. The fact of the matter is, we are posting the worst covid numbers throughout over the last eight months right now in many states in this country and its, frankly, because this white house has never been serious about having a National Strategy. 200 and almost 30,000 people have died. Tens of millions unemployed. People in food lines who never imagined they would be and still dont have a National Strategy eight months in and theyre contributing to more spread. Joe biden and barack obama are going to be holding drivein event in your state today. Your fellow michigan democrat, the congresswoman Debbie Dingell has raised concerns that biden may actually be showing signs of weakness among local union voters. How confident are you biden can win the key state of michigan . Im confident. You know, Debbie Dingell and i talk all the time and were, of course, concerned. Were taking nothing for granted, but heres the thing about joe biden. His plan around getting the American Economy back up and running, in concert with getting their arms around covid, thats how we really get things done. He understands what people are going through. He is a humble, decent human being who knows as an american president he serves everyone in this country, not states that are red or blue but everyone, and we need a president who can bring us together, who will fight for the middle class, the working people of this country, and ensure everyones got a real path and thats what joe biden offers and i think thats why he resonates so well with michigan voters. Speaking of voters in michigan and the voting thats happening right now, as you know, Election Officials in your state are now saying that we might not get results from michigan until the end of the week next week. What do you say to people who might be concerned about this delay . Well, listen, i think the most important thing is that we get the count right. We will move swiftly but our secretary of state has been saying for weeks because of the increased volume of absentee votes, it is going to take a little while longer to count them all. We asked the Michigan Legislature for the ability to give our clerks more time to process on the front end. They gave them one day. I was glad to sign the bill but it should have been a lot longer and so the fact of the matter is were going to get it right and we dont want anyone to call the election until its weve gotten an official determination from the secretary of state. Were going to count every ballot. Has the pandemic been impacting peoples capacity to vote in your state . I know in some states the pandemic, the virus has shut down polling stations. Is that happening in michigan . Well, what we have seen, you know, we amended our constitution in 2018 to give people the ability to go prior to election day and vote. Im so glad we did because, of course, none of us knew we would be in the midst of a Global Pandemic but its safer to go vote now. So to my fellow michiganders, if youve not voted yet, go today or go tomorrow or go monday. If you go to iowavote. Org you can plug your address in and find out what options are in your state and get those ballots in and not stand in line all day and not have to expose yourself to the potential spread of covid. Governor Gretchen Whitmer from michigan, thank you very much. Have a safe election. Thank you. Whit, over to you. In the final countdown to the election its your voice, your vote, and we are helping to make it count by breaking down the rules and voting deadlines in key battleground states. Lets go to minnesota here. A federal Appeals Court ruled absentee ballots there will need to be received by local officials by 8 00 on Election Night to be counted. The court ordering any ballots received after polls close in the state to be segregated or separated in a way that would allow their votes to be removed from voting totals if they are ruled invalid after the election. Now, if your ballot is not received by election day, you can vote in person. If you havent mailed your ballot yet you can hand deliver it to your county Election Office but you must do so by 3 00 p. M. On election day. Lets go to wisconsin now. The potential for a delay in Election Night results is now growing. The states sixth largest county will be duplicating all misprinted ballots, more than 13,000 ballots in the county were misprinted with a scratch mark that makes them unreadable by voting machines, so the county will have to refill out all the misprinted ballots onto new ballots and then run each one through the machines. And for those who plan to vote in person, remember, you will need to show an acceptable photo i. D. At your polling place. For more information on how to vote in your state, you can go to fivethirtyeight. Com.

Shattered records this month and experts fear that deaths are going to follow as already this virus is claiming the lives of more than 800 americans. This morning, as america passes 9 million confirmed covid19 cases and infections rise in all but two states, nearly all of the u. S. Is fighting an apparent losing battle to contain the virus.

The midwest being particularly devastated. The virus is raging throughout the state of ohio. Reporter with crowded parties of maskless College Students sparking concern, ohio state now issuing warnings to students ahead of halloween weekend and saturdays Football Game against penn state.

Reporter a North Carolina church has learned that lesson the hard way. 181 cases tied to a Single Service in charlotte including five deaths. In illinois, hospitalizations have nearly doubled in the past few weeks. The governor ordering emergency shutdowns of many bars and restaurants sparking lawsuits filed by dozens of restaurant owners.

We have a patient up on the floor right now that weve been waiting three days to transfer. Reporter as we enter flu season in illinois and california were now seeing the first instances of patients catching coronavirus and influenza. A potentially lethal combination. These are different viruses attacking similar portions of the body and so the dual insult is quite significant. Reporter and in utah, as respiratory therapists and icu nurses flock to hospitals inundated with covid patients, those Health Care Workers pleading for people to take the threat seriously. They die alone. They get the treatment alone. So we ask very much so for your help.

Temperatures are below freezing in many spots including where i stand and windchills even colder than that. So welcome to winter. Itll be dry the rest of the day. Theres spots of black ice today and then a little Alberta Clipper will come across the great lakes and stir up some moisture from chicago to detroit eventually into the northeast as well.

But people across the country are still putting love and friendship ahead of politics, not letting differences and opinions tear them apart. The 2020 president ial election has become one of the most heated in history. The question is the Supreme Court justice would you shut up, man . Listen reporter some neighborhoods like this albuquerque culdesac are proving political arguments can still be civil. I ordered 15 biden signs. We have like a sign war going on but its friendly.

Im not voting republican. Its just not happening. Reporter their conversations around the dinner table arent that different than most and though they disagree opportunist opportunity and excuse to go out and okay, and so when the clans feel empowered or the hate groups feel empowered, is that an opportunity for them as well . Reporter their bond proving a house divided against itself can, in fact, stand. No, im not okay with any of that. Put me on the spot. Wow. She did put him on the spot. She totally put him on the spot but, you know, thats what wives do to their husbands sometimes. Yes, whit and i can attest to that as well. But really cool people talking these things out in a civil way. Able to have these discussions. Thats what we should be doing. It does show that theres more that unites us than divides us. Amen.

Every parent, myself included, knows how much kids look forward to halloween so this morning the question, during a pandemic how do you make halloween fun and safe . Thank you. Reporter while covid may make halloween 2020 the scariest ever, not really in a good way, parents are getting creative finding ways to celebrate halloween safely. My plan is to use this tube not only to deliver candy to the kids but syringes filled with jello shots for the adults. As adults weigh trickortreating put a card table in your yard and put the candy in individual treat bags so when kids walk by they can grab the candy from a safe distance and you can still be a part of the festivities. Reporter and for trickortreaters you must wear a mask and, remember, the costume mask doesnt count as a mask. Reporter if being outside is not for you, there are many other options. Consider having a bakeoff with your kids and decorating cookies or having a pumpkin carving contest. I would really be careful about having kids just going from house to house unless they had a mask and you made sure that they had a little purell with them, so long as they dont spend a lot of time interacting with people that theyve never seen before. The biggest thing that were going to be doing is to do a Scavenger Hunt in the dark and so i will hide candy all over the house and give them flashlights and they can go search for it. Reporter kate has been making halloween crafts with her 6yearold and 4yearold all month preparing for the big day. Were going to also do a walk around our neighborhood and see how many pumpkins can we find. They can feel the season and have fun even if its not trickortreating or halloween parties. Were doing Scavenger Hunts today. What are you doing . Honestly we dont know what were going to do. Were still going back and forth. Were going to eat candy, though. Im ready for the discount candy. Im ready for children to be running around like whirling dervishes in my house. Thats right. Well be right back with our play of the day. Keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame.
