Stage . Reporter theyre certainly hoping the debate may play out less chaotically than the first, but for President Trump, hes hoping to change the trajectory of the race, while joe biden is simply trying to protect his lead. For the format, the Debate Commission changed the way that the microphones are working at the start of each segment. The candidates will each have two minutes where they can speak without the other candidates microphone on. This is to try to help avoid some of the interruptions that we saw play out in cleveland just a few weeks ago. After each of the candidates gets their opening segment, during those twominute segments during each section, they can move on to an open period of discussion, where they can both have their microphones on and proceed with talking. There will be six segments over the course of this debate. I want to run you through those topics rain in america, climate change, National Security and leadership and more. This will be a 90minute debate. Something different, is there will be plexiglas barriers erected between the two candidates on stage. Thats something we saw during the Vice President ial debate between Kamala Harris and mike pence. Today they are instituting that once again here at the president ial debate after the Debate Commission consulted with their medical advisers. We have learned that joe biden tested negative for coronavirus this morning. We havent heard if President Trump has undergone a similar test before he proceeds with this debate, but this debate is essential going to be voters last chance to size up the two candidates on that stage one on one, facetoface together. Were just 12 days out. Theres still a number of undecided voters tuning into this debate to see if it can help make up their minds about who will be the next president. Arlette saenz, thank you. Ahead of tonights matchup were seeing the president return to one of his goto lines. Let me ask you what you think the biggest domestic priority is for you right now. Well, ultimately let me it was happening. We created the greatest economy in the history of our economy. The other side you know thats not true. Its totally true. No. That is not true. One topic that biden will likely answer for is expanding the supreme court. Here is how biden is now addressing that question. If elected, what i will do is put together a national commission, a Bipartisan Commission of scholars, constitutional scholars, democrats, republicans, liberate, conservatives, and i will ask them to over 180 days come back to we some recommendations as to how as to reform the court system, because its getting out of whack, the way its being handled. Its not about court packing. Theres a number of other things that scholars have debated. Ive looked to see what recommendations that commission might make. Cnn political director David Chalian is joining mess to discuss. This is the last matchup. What are you watching for . The second and final matchup. The first thing im looking for is Donald Trumps approach. Weve observed him long enough. We dont expect him to change all of a sudden, but what version of himself does he bring to this debate stage . Much like the first performance where he was consequence taply interrupting, creating chaos . None of his advisers did not want that. It did not go well for him. In a remarkably stable race, there was a noticeable dip after that first debate. Yet there are some signals that that may be the road hes going down, or does he lean into more advantages on the economy where voters see him better than joe biden on that score. Does he try to seize this opportunity, as arlette was saying to change the dynamic . I think that is one key thing to watch. For bidens part, brianna, his defense. That i think is going to define his performance tonight. We know biden would like to stay above the fray as much as possible. Of course, like any frontrunner, do no harm. If donald trump is throwing things at him about hunter biden, his son, his big dealings, how joe biden responds to that, does he get rattled . Is he able to simply ignore it and move ahead with his own strategy, i think will be the defining aspect as to how bidens performance is perceived tonight. My final thing im watching is that muted moment. Arlette took you through the rules and theres a new enforcement mechanism where, if youre not speaking in that first chunk where you have two minutes to address it, if youre the opponent not speaking, your microphone is muted. Is donald trump going to obey that . Is he going to try to interrupt and speak over his muted microphone . And still try to throw joe biden off his game . Or does that enforcement mechanism actually bring more order to the debate stage tonight than existed in cleveland last month . Thats the third item im on the lookout for tonight. Yeah. Im very curious about that mute function. Well see how it goes. David, well be watching. Thank you so much. Thanks, brianna. More than 1,000 coronavirus deaths, we hit that milestone yesterday, the highest daily toll in more than a month. This time experts say the worst is yet to come. There are 31 states reporting more covid cases than last week. Theres only one moving in the right direction, hawaii. We havent seen this level of 60,000 since the first week of august. Severity states hit record highs on hospitalizations, including iowa, kentucky, ohio, oklahoma, south dakota, as well as utah. You can take a look at the u. S. Coronavirus death toll on the right side of your screen, more than 222,000 lost. A new study found that most of those deaths were unavoidable. Elizabeth cohen jones me now. The death toll could be between not 222,577 if there had been an adequate government response, elizabeth. Thats right. Just to try to describe how inadequate the government response has been, it is tough. Were going to try to boil it down to a couple points. Again, this report from Columbia University saying there could have been tens of thousands fewer deaths if Different Things had been done by the federal government. Lets look at those. They said there was insufficient testing, lack of a National Mask guidance. The Trump Administration young played the pandemic and mocked masks. Masks saves lives, and mocking them does not help. Pakistan, hon during rattle and malaysia had more successful responses, and it was pointed out that trump advocated for solutions that didnt work, for example, hydroxychloroquine, so that also added to the death toll. Brianna . Tell us about the cdc revision on was considered close contact with someone infected with coronavirus. What is the change here . And why the change . The cdc has been saying for month a contact means when we say youve had close contact with someone with covid. We mean have you been within six feet of them for 15 minutes or more. Now the cdc is making it clear it doesnt have to be 15 minutes consecuti consecutive. It can be cumulative. The state of vermont noticed for their Corrections Officers that they were at risk for getting covid even when they werent within 15 minutes of someone all at one time. It could just be bits and pieces pug together. It makes sense. Its the amount of time put together that you are near someone with covid the chances that they will get you sick. And theyre investigating the way to shorten the time for school kids. This is something theyre looking into that they havent actually done yet. I asked dr. Robert redfield about this yesterday. He said, look, were looking at the science. This pandemic is relatively new. We were saying people need to quarantined for 14 days if theyve had close contact, on if theyve had covid themselves, they need to be isolated maybe 12 is okay, there are various studies, and dr. Redfield said theyre looking at the studies. Elizabeth, great to see you. Thank you so much. Thank you. The cdc records that about two 1 3 of the deaths were from covid19. Jacqueline howard has more. Some experts say the other deaths which represent about 100,000 lives lost might be deaths of despair. The term deaths of despair refers to deaths caused by suici suicide, alcohol or drug use. Heres what dr. Scott gottlieb has said about this, especially when it comes to younger adults. Have a listen. I would suspect a good portion of the deaths were due to despair or other reasons. Weve seen a spike of overdoses. One of the biggers jumps have been with adults 25 to 44. Thank you. Well hear from the Top Health Official in mississippi, who says the spread in his state can be traced to people not wearing masks. And intimidating emails sent to voters. One topic that should come up tonight health care. Well roll the tate about president s nonexistent plan to replace obamacare. Wed be closer to the twins. Change in plans.

Hey, no roxy audiobooks, podcasts, audible originals, all in one place. Tonight, in his final debate with joe biden before the election, the president will likely be asked about his plan to replace obamacare, the law hes trying to kill, and for which he does not have a replacement. With 12 days to go and millions of americans have been already voted, still no comprehensive plan to protect americans with preexisting conditions, no plan that could be sent to congress to become law, no plan despite countless timetables and missed deadlines. I will ask congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace. It would be such an honor for moe, and for everybody in this country.

Retire better with just 12 days to go until the election were learning from the top National Security officials that iran and russia are actively interfering in the 2020 election. Director of National IntelligenceJohn Ratcliffe says both countries have obtained Voters Registration with iran posing as the farright Group Proud Boys and sending intimidating emails. One in part says you will vote for trump or we will come after you. It concludes, i would take this seriously if i were you. The timing has raced questions. The briefing was hastily arranged, and delivered minutes after president obama offered a strong rebuke against President Trump. Anthony, there was a source who told cnn that the government assesses some of the data that the iranians obtained came from vendor and state systems, not publicly available Voters Registration information, so thats alarming. How did they get it . Does that mean this information is vulnerable to other attacks . Of course. Lets take a step back, a month ago, Many Americans had never even heard of the proud boys. As of yesterday, many received a threatening email from this group telling them they had to vote for donald trump or else. This is clearly escalating behavior. As we were briefed yesterday, iran and russia have now taken this bullying tactic and brought it into the homes of americans. This is no longer just targeting state infrastructure like they did in 2016. They have escalated the fight, brought it into the kitchens of americans across the country. We need to appreciate what that means. I said to listen to something the dni said last night. We have already seen iran spe sending spoofed emails. The emails make it clear they want people voting for trump. Hes saying this was a coordinated ever to hurt trump. What do you say to them . As a former fbi special agent, its very troubling for me to see that. I watched the press briefing, i looked on stage and saw no special investigators on stage. I saw all trump political appointees. It broke my heart to see them stand before the fbi seal and make that statement. You can interpret the statement and email any way you want, really. That statement the dni made, it just wasnt necessary, and it took a very Important Message, right . A very Important Message about americans being targeted. Americans now facing this fight in their homes, in their kitchening, and it put a political spin on it. It just want necessary, right . Its super frustrating it happened in the fbi building, in front of an fbi seal, with no investigators up on stage, just political appointees. Theres more to be done here, right . Its a threatening email saying you must vote for donald trump or else, but what are we going to do about it . The government said theyre aware of it, but didnt say what theyre going to do about it. So whats next . I hope to have more than just a monitoring squad. I would like to see some action come out of this. I wonder if the dni has been coopted by the political apparatus. He also offered statistics about iranian interference, but didnt provide the same level of detail when it came to the russian interference. I had the same reaction to the briefing. Theres no other way to interpret these activities other than escalateory. They were done strait infrastructure. The fact they pulled this data, whether stolen illegally from compromised infrastructure, or obtained it legally from paying for it, they still took these steps. They did it in the publics eye. They did it in plain sight. They werent secretive about it at all. To my understanding they also used a foreign infrastructure in which to launch these emails that landed in the homes of american citizens. I just think that this is clearly escalating behavior and i would like to see some sort of response activities. Remember, in 2016 when this happened, it was a difficult subject, it was a very sensitive subject, yes. The administration was slow. I am very happy to see the press briefing last night that the administration is working quickly to inform american citizens. What are they doing about it . Christopher wray saying you should have confidence in voting, thats not the problem. Its not a tactical problem, okay . We really need to help americans understand this is a massive, real, right, misinformation campaign. Russia and iran are behind this. Anthony ferrante, thank you. We appreciate it. Thank you. Can president obama move the needle for joe biden . Tweeting at the television doesnt fix things. Making stuff up doesnt make peoples lives better. Youve got to have a plan.

All of them carried by President Trump last name. Right now biden is and wisconsin to some democrats with 2016. What if this happens the topups, and these come back into play, and then youre in a death match, right . , and other dumbing come back to where they are right now, and they say, you know what . Look at this. Jibe join and take on in september 1st, the democrats are outspending the republicans. Look at these battleground hes in play everywhere. Slightly slightly in florida, likely in north carolina, iowa, ohio, texas down four, so and they say, wait a minute, what if they had what if join yoib could do this . Including this. Is that going to happen . Probably not, but is it because of the money, theres a possible that biden could some democrats are saying we could get texas. Why is it important to compete . Senate races, senate races. Senate races, senate races, so democrats are looking at this map saying its possible, its possible we could have a very big win. Democrats are hoping to turn the electoral map blue by deployed one of their big weapons president obama. He made his first appearance, and showed no mercy to his successor in the white house. Just yesterday, when asked if he would do anything differently trump said, not much. Really . Not much . Nothing you could have think of that could have help some people keep their loved ones alive . And with joe and kamala at the helm, you wont have to think about the crazy things they said every day. Thats worth a lot. You might be able to have a thanksgiving dinner without having an argument. Youll be able to go about your lives, know that the president is not going to retweet conspiracy theories. Were not going to have a president that guess out of hi way to support anyone who doesnt support him or threaten them with jail. I want to bring in cnn political commentator errol lewis, who is the host of the podcast, you decide. What do you make of the former president s decision to stay off the trail until now . Well, he tends to bide his time. In 2016 he did the same think, he tries to hoard his Political Capital and deploy it at the last minute. Theres a lot of people who wish he would get out earlier, but thats been through his political career. Now that hes out, though, hes occupying an interesting sweet spot between the Bernie Sanders wing of the party that says the whole sim has to change, and the careful joe biden argument thats designed to try to reach across the aisle. You have this sweet spot in the middle for people who dont like to vote republican, but they also dont necessarily want to blow up the whole system. Thats where barack obama i think is at his most effective. I heard kind of that walking down the middle of walking done the collision in yesterdays speech, breaux ana. So maybe more traditional democrats hes appealing to. Donald trump has tweeted out about this, saying this works to his favor, that the president obama being out there is something that benefits him. What do you think about that . Well, look, Donald Trumps strategy has been to mobilize, energize, aggravate and enrage his base. Nothing enrages them about the sight of barack obama. So to a limited extent, thats probably true. It might even bring out more donald trump voters than before. The only problem with the strategy is thats what hes been doing all along and the polls suggest its not working. However they might want to hate on Hillary Clinton and barack obama and everything else, they also have to deal with realworld problems, like mass hunger, unemployment, long, long lines of people waiting to get food. The everpresent danger of the covid. You know, weve got a reality show president trying to return this into a reality show showdown, but i dont know that hes gotten those people on his side. Im wondering, will tonight be as nuts as it was last time . I only thing i wonder if hell interrupt it just like the 60 minutes binterview. When everybody gets to thes except floating around the web, you can see hes got an answer for everything. Its just a careful distribution of fault to absolutely everyone else. The handling of the coronavirus not his fault. The entry into the United States not his fault. The failure to come up with protective equipment, not his fault. The rising statistics, not his fault. He just goes on and on and on. The economy, not hi fault. He has a way to blame everybody, but after a while he gets visibly angry in that interview. When reality starts to set in and if joe biden is a competent debater tonight, hell bring home this point. The president thinking beshd all by talking about hunter biden and some stolen laptop when were closing in on a quarter of a million dead and a economy in at that time e tatters. Errol, i know youll be watching, as will i. Thank you. Thanks. Mississippis top Health Officer will join me next.

Airline industry posting record losses, pleading with the Trump Administration for a coronavirus testing strategy. Airline trade groups and unions are telling the federal government travelers need a way around pandemic quarantines that are, quote, decimating the industries. Thats where we begin our look at coronavirus headlines across the country. Southwest Airlines Says its done with the policy it put in place because of the pandemic. It will soon start selling every seat on board its flights. Southwest just posted record financial losses. It says it is done capping capacity on the flights starting decent 1st, and it insists that science is on its side. That makes delta the last of the four big airlines still not selling every seat. Illinois is among the states leading the nation in increasing cases. Starting friday, gatherings will be limited to 25 people or less. Indoor dining and bar service will also be banned. The governor has given the green light to the Illinois State police to have the ability to Issue Citations if people arent following the guidelines. Also, the state has the authority to pull someones Liquor License if they arent following the rules. After a wave of infections at californias san quentin prison, a state peals court has ruled that they have to release or transfer half the inmates. San quentin is the states oldest prison and houses the states death row for male inmates. The ruling comes after 75 of the inmates came down with the covid. Officials that managed the prison say they disagree with the rulings and will determine the next steps. In the beginning coronavirus hot spots were a big pop ulutz city sisters, the top Health Officer in mississippi says while more people of color fell ill, its the white maskless residents to brame. Infections in that demographic are very much on the rise now. I want to speak with dr. Thomas dobbs. Youre seeing some patterns certainty worth talking about here. We know that people of color versus disproportionally hit, and disproportionally represent essential workers, but now youre seeing White Mississippians catch weve seen a pretty remarkable shift early on. Africanamericans accounted for basically twothirds or 60 or more of cases and deaths. Over the summer and into the fall weve seen that shift basically upside down. Now over 60 of new cases are in caucasians and the deaths are mirroring that also. Its really something weve got to watch closely because weve been working hard to try to work on social distancing and masking. It may well be we found a receptive audience in the africanamerican community, maybe because they were hit so hard and personal experience. Were not having the success weve seen with other segment of the population. Explain to us this disparity when it comes to behavior that youre seeing between these racial groups. How are they differing right now . You know, anecdotally and looking how the schools are operating, we are seeing a lot more enthusiastic compliance with our recommendations as far as masking and public social distancing small groups. Nothing is perfect, but the message seems to have hit Fertile Ground if the black community. We have other areas, hispanics and native americans hit hard and certainly weve invested a lot of efforts in those areas. Theres still a lot of vulnerability. You know, coronavirus affects anybody. If we let our guard down, reluctant to follow guidelines. Social events social events are what are given a kerr taebl hard time. Those are scenarios that cant be safe right now, unfortunately. Thats where were seeing a lot of it, more in subsets of the white population. So when youre talking about social events, are you seeing weddings, thats something were seeing across the country why are dozens of people, sometimes hundreds of people getting together and having a wedding. Are those the social events youre talking about that seem more likely for white folks to be engaged in rather than black folks. Not weddings so much but that certainly is something. A lot is youthbased. A lot of parentsponsored youth events, dances, parties, things of that nature that have really undermined a lot of our efforts to keep the schools open. It might be smaller stuff, get togethers, people in bars and that sort of thing. It kind of crosses the entire spectrum of highrisk activities. We know what we can do to prevent transmission of coronavirus. Its a little bit maddening that we kind of find ourselves caught between the severe dichotomy of either shut down or open up. In the middle a nice place where we do simple stuff, stick mostly nuclear families, household contacts and wear a mask in public. Then if youre going to have a social gathering do it in small groups and outdoors. Its that last piece thats really hard for us to get past, in addition to the mask thing, the these are driving the last weeks. Its something people can Gain Knowledge from. Sir, thank you for being with us. Thanks for having me. Russia was the first country to approve a Covid Vaccine but theres no evidence the kremlin is actually way behind other countries in their Vaccine Development despite sticking several steps in the safety process. ringing hey kaleb, whats up .

The Pharmaceutical Company moderna now hit target of 30,000 participants for phase three vaccine trial. The company says all of those in rolled have received their first vaccine shot and most have also received the required second shot. Modernas president said if all the stars align, his company is now on track to apply to the fda for authorization to put the vaccine on the market in early december. Now a cnn exclusive on russias push to develop a Coronavirus Vaccine, the developers of russias touted sputnikv Coronavirus Vaccine revealing the vaccine has not undergone the same rigorous testing required in other global trials. Cnns Fred Pleitgen is reporting from moscow with exclusive details. Reporter hi there, brianna, in august the russians approved sputnikv without going through main phase three trials for efficacy and safety of vaccine. However, the russians kept on saying they were going to conduct trials quickly. Last week they said 10,000 people, this week 17,000 people. When we exclusively spoke to the head of the Institute Responsible for the sputnikv vaccine, the head of that institute told us so far only around 6,000 of those participants had actually received both doses of the vaccine, when, of course, are key to achieving immunization and for the scientists to be able to collect data from trial participants. The other thing weve also learned is this vaccine, the institute says, is suitable for people between the ages of 18 and 60 and also not suitable for people who have various illnesses and also allergies as well. However, the head of the institute says he believes its still fine to also give the vaccine to older people and also to people with most illnesses. Of course, many prominent russians have already taken the vaccine but one notable exception remains the russian president Vladimir Putin who for months has remained in isolation essentially inside a bubble, brianna. All right, fred. Thank you for that report. Our special coverage continues now with jake tapper. Welcome to the lead. Im jake p taker. We begin today with our 2020 lead.
