Odonnell good evening and thank you for joining us, were going to begin with the final frantic sprint to election day. As we come on the air the white house says President Trump has tested negative for coronavirus. And his doctor has cleared him to hit the campaign trail. Tonight just a week after leaving the hospital. His supporters say that cant come soon enough as new polling suggests joe biden is widening his lead over the president to double digits nationally. And tonight our new cbs news Battleground Tracker poll shows the former Vice President ahead in key swing states including michigan and nevada and tied in cbs news learned the former Vice President is now adding new ads in traditionally republican leaning states as he looks to grow his support among suburban women and seniors. The Trump Campaign is wasting no time going on offense either, as the president rallies hundreds of supporters in florida tonight. The first of four battleground state events he is going to hold this week. Now that comes even as the countrys top Infectious Disease doctor Anthony Fauci that crowds packed in to see the president president are asking for trouble as new cases of coronavirus are spiking nationwide. Mean time today democrats tried to put the virus and the idea it could lead to preexisting conditions for millions front and center the first day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. As you can see weve got a lot of new reporting to get to tonight. Ting to get torrespondent is standing by. Cbs weijia jiang is going to lead off our coverage tonight from the white house. Good evening, weijia. Reporter good evening, norah. Dr. Anthony fauci says the reasons why these rallies are asking for trouble is because how many people are packed together and how few of them cover their faces. The campaign has not implemented any new safety members for attendees and tonight rally goers in florida are Standing Shoulder to shoulder. With President Trumps physician announcing he had tested negative for covid19, a maskless mr. Trump raced back to the campaign trail tonight for his first rally in 12 days. Thousands of supporters in stanford, florida started lining up this morning, many also also avoiding masks. Then he recovered. And i said, well, take that, covid. Because i guess you messed with the wrong president. Reporter the president is also making trips to pennsylvania, iowa and North Carolina this week a total of four key battleground states. He trails joe biden in all but iowa where the candidates are tied according to cbs news. White house physician dr. Sean conley did not say when the president tested negative, only that he did so on consecutive days, and that the medical team determined that the president is not infectious to others. But conley did not corroborate President Trumps claim of immunity on sunday. Looks like im immune for, i dont know, man a long time, maybe a short time. Reporter on twitter the president s post about immunity was flagged of a violation for spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to covid19. Meanwhile one of the president s campaign ads is drawing criticism. I cant imagine that anybody could be doing more. Reporter dr. Anthony fauci said his full quote was taken out of context to make it appear like he was endorsing President Trumps handling of the pandemic. I think its really unfortunate and really disappointing that they did that. It is so clear that im not a political person. Reporter President Trump is scrambling to make up for time he lost while recovering from covid19. The campaign expects he will hold events just like this one almost every day from now until november 3. One point he is expected to make repeatedly is that he has literally defeated the virus. Norah. Odonnell weijia jiang, thank you. Today joe biden campaigned in ohio, taking his case to Blue Collar Workers a key group in the president s political base, and where our cbs Battleground Tracker poll shows the candidates income and neck, here is cbs ed okeefe. Reporter in georgia, tonight, lines for early voting causing waits of up to eight hours in some spots and marking a shift three weeks from election day. This election is life or death, this is a life or death situation with all that is going on in this world today. Reporter President Trump and joe biden are now effectively tied in georgia, a traditional republican stronghold, with biden launching a new ad there over the weekend and sending joe biden to court voters, biden is spend more time in states he never expected to win, like ohio, where today in toledo he courted working class workers selling his scranton blue collar roots in a town ravaged by the collapse of the Auto Industry and the coronavirus. Across ohio and the country folks are worried about making the next mortgage payment or rent payment. Reporter President Trump won ohio by about eight points four years ago selling himself as a deal making businessman. The race there is now nearly tied with mr. Trump Still Holding on. I truly believe hes going to help bring jobs back. Reporter the story in neighboring is even better for biden. Voters who supported the president four years ago say they are fed up with his handling of the coronavirus. This guy is not talking straight. He doesnt have integrity. He doesnt show compassion. He doesnt show vision. And he lies like a rug. Reporter tonight bidens team is also planning events and airing ads in places like iowa and texas, state mrs. Trump won handily in 2016 but are now seen as more competitive. A president who will respect the sacrifices made. Reporter flush with the sacrifices made. Donations, biden is now on track to spend more than half a billion dollars on advertising by election day, much of it in states like florida and pennsylvania. Meanwhile in california tonight officials are warning about unofficial ballot boxes. This comes as the california g. O. P. Set them up in several counties saying they are trying to make it easier, but state Officials Say they are illegal and ballots must be mailed in or brought to election offices. Norah. Odonnell ed okeefe, thank you. Today democrats work to make confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee judge Amy Coney Barrett less about her qualifications and more about the Affordable Care act. They charged a Supreme Court with barrett on the bench would quickly move to gut the law. As demonstrators flock to the Supreme Court steps. Steps, judge Amy Coney Barrett laid out her conservative philosophies. Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life. Reporter it is the timing that makes this nomination a political powder keg, with americans already voting in nearly 40 states. I think this hearing is a sham. There is nothing unconstitutional about this process. Reporter republicans defended barretts membership in a small Catholic Group called people of praise. What your political opponents want to paint you as a tv or Cartoon Version of a religious radical. Reporter democrats didnt focus on her faith, highlighting instead constituents who they said could lose their Health Care Coverage if barrett joins the court. Kenny is a real person whose life depends on the Affordable Care act. Reporter they pointed to barretts comments from 2017 when she argued that chief Justice John Roberts had pushed obamacare beyond its plausible meaning in order to save it. The ways in which you may serve as a justice will do irreparable harm. Thats outrageous. As a mother of seven, judge barrett clearly understands the importance of health care. Reporter with coronavirus stalking the senate, utahs mike lee recovered in time to make it back. Feel great. Reporter going maskless while speaking like his colleagues. Several others appeared remotely due to exposure or like democratic v. P. Nominee kamala harris, as a precaution. This hearing has brought together more than 50 people to sit inside a closed door room for hours while our nation is facing a deadly airborne virus. Reporter starting tomorrow barrett will face two days of grilling from the committees 22 senators and barring some unforeseen obstacle, republicans are hoping to confirm her to the highest court in the land about a week before election day. Norah. Odonnell nancy cordes, thank you.

Cbs adriana diaz has our report tonight from chicago want reporter tonight with the nation seeing nearly 50,000 cases a day, an ominous warning from Public Health officials. We are truly headed into the fall with a covid virus disaster on our hands. Reporter the country is seeing roughly twice as many new cases as it did in the spring. I hope these numbers jolt the American Public into the realization its on a trajectory of getting worse and worse. Reporter are we still in the first wave of this pandemic or is this the second wave . I dont believe that this infection really is being transmitted in waves. What it is, is more like a coronavirus forest fire where in fact it just burns, burns and burns but then as soon as you let up the break then it all comes back again. Reporter there is a flare up in the northeast where cases are up 40 in the last month. Today in wisconsin a judge ruled against a Group Fighting that states mask mandate. Thats where mark schultz is hospitalized. I dont know if i am going to make it. Reporter the bar and retaurant owner is angry, but resilient. All i want to do is survive this so i can take care of my family. I got a tenyearold boy. Im going to fight with every breath i got. Its going to take every breath i got. Reporter we spoke with folks today and thankfully he is doing much better. Hospitalizations are a leading indicator for covid and in at least 36 states hospitalizations are up. Norah .

City Officials Say he was not licensed as a Security Guard in the city. Social media accounts claim doloff was a left wing extremist and antifa member, but Authorities Say that is not true. It seems like we have a little bit more tension. Reporter brian lynch is the executive director at the Security Firm rain, he says tensions are high at some protests and says rumors can lead to more unrest. Is Bad Information a good recruitment tool . It certainly helps, these groups certainly understand that in order to recruit they have to stoke that fire a little bit. Reporter fires that lynch says can often have violent consequences. Omar villafranca, cbs news, dallas. Odonnell tonight we wanted to update you on a story we told you about over a year ago about immigration on the southern border.
