Inside bay area politics talked to political consultant David Mckeown he says that President Trump desperately needs another debate. The president is ready from behind a any political fat salt worth their salt would say look you got to get back out there and you got it you got to debate and if he doesnt want a virtual debate because he can the moderator 145 time does he that tuesday debate and yes, the find another avenue another way and tell us why it matters david, you know there are at least a few voters saying you know what were good but the debates weve seen enough and thanks that thats enough and why does it matter. All right so in general, we think that money doesnt matter in camp is this is the Political Science that money doesnt matter that campaign so matter that debates dont matter that Vice President ial selection sell better donald trump through all that out the window in 2016. And what it means is those things do matter in terms of setting the tenor and tone of the race democrats have to worry about having a sugar high about peaking too early and having that that that early kind of momentum go away and the president and his team need to drop their base and do a little bit better so there are like 5 independent voters who want to know whats going on and they will help settle this election and move one way or another it is building to a blue wave that affects what happens senate that affects kind of what the size of the delegation in the house but democrats are sensing some momentum and the president has to blunt that thats why he has to go out and have at least one more debate if not 2. Well hear more from professor mckeown a little bit later on tonight on kron 4 news you can also watch the entire interview on kron on. Meantime President Trump says he will be holding an in person event in washington saturday and a rally in florida on monday. According to white house officials the president will address the crowd from the white house about the need tomorrow. The president is supposed to be talking about Peaceful Protesters for law and order. The white house also announced a rally in sanford florida scheduled for monday. This all comes just over a week after the president tested positive for covid19. Many are questioning President Trumps fitness to serve as commander in chief since contracting coronavirus democrats say they want to plan in place the event something incapacitate the president s ability to carry out the duties of his office House Speaker nancy pelosi announced a new commission to accomplish that our washington dc reporter Alexandra Mon has the story as well as reaction from critics. Speaker of the house nancy pelosi announced legislation for the creation of a new Bipartisan Commission to determine whether a president is capable of carrying out the powers and duties of the office this is not about President Trump. He will face the judgment of the voters. But pay shows the need for us to create a process for future president s. Speaker pelosi says the creation of the commission is based on the 25th amendment which was passed in a bipartisan way after president kennedy was assassinated and it ensures the continuity of National Leadership specifically. Section 4. Of the amendment empowers congress to set up an independent body. To confront such a crisis. The white house dismissed the idea that it absolutely unfounded and its a stunt ahead of an the president says feeling well President Trump also reacted to the speakers announcement with a tweet calling the speaker crazy and saying pelosis efforts are really about looking at the 25th amendment. In order to replace job i did with kamala harris. In washington, alexandra le mon. Well tonight among the questions could Speaker Pelosis idea actually take shape and if so is it a good idea for dan kerman has been talking to legal and political experts and hes live for us in San Francisco with more deaths. Well experts we talked to say it is very unlikely that this will happen at least this year. It depends on who is president and not under this president and this republican control. Senate, however they say it is not a bad idea in infected is outlined in the 25th amendments. Never before has the 25th amendment been used to remove a president from office when power has been transferred to the Vice President. Its been voluntary or temporary their couple of instances. Were George W Bush had a column it was an east asia in the 25th amendment was it about. President reagan was shot. It was implicitly invoked the not explicitly. But the 25th amendment does allow the transfer of power to take place without the president say. Under the current law. You take the Vice President in a majority of the cabinet. This would create an alternative to the cabinet. But the Vice President would still need to be part of it that alternative which is outlined in the 25th amendment would be a Bipartisan Commission selected by congress. Some political experts think its a wise idea what does is takes the heat off the captain the captain. Could have but you can imagine a circumstance where they would say. Very quietly you off the record to this commission, you know what were really worried about the president could you do something now so we dont have to actually be put in this terrible horrible getting rid of our boss. But you could do it. U c berkeley Political Science professor henry brady is the dean of the Goldman School of public policy. He says good idea or not the votes to create this commission arent there with the republican controlled senate. And President Trump in the white house still understands why Speaker Pelosi is proposing this its clearly a way to sort of pointing out that there may be a problem here. And therefore to signal to the American People you really really want to reelect this person to the presidency. The real question is if this proposal goes nowhere this year as expected will it be reintroduced next year and will that depend on whos president. Live in San Francisco. Dan kerman kron 4 news. Thank you dan well confirmation hearings for President Trumps Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett are set to kick off monday. Some members are expected to participate remotely. After 2 republican members of the Judiciary Committee utah senator mike lee and North Carolina senator thom tillis tested positive for the coronavirus last week.
