Alaska, arkansas, colorado, idaho, north dakota, and broward, miamidade, duval and palm beach. Remember the chaotic scenes at the start of the pandemic, the desolate city streets, the frantic emergency rooms, lack of medical equipment and no end in sight . The u. S. Faces the very real possibility it will find itself right back there and soon. This is even as the president admits the quiet part outloud that he has no plans to put science first. The u. S. Is averaging more than 56,000 new cases a day. Up 60 in five weeks. Now, remember cases are whats known as a leading indicator. First we have more cases, then more hospitalizations, and then sadly, more deaths. Nearly the entire country is either trending the wrong way right now or at best, treading water. Cases are increasing and were seeing this happen because were getting colder weather, and were losing that natural social distancing that happens from being out of doors, and people are getting tired. The American People have given so much. Were seeing mitigation fatigue right now. Yes, americans are fatigued but the virus is not. And easing restrictions before it has been contained ahead of winter, experts warn that could be devastating. On sunday, Johns Hopkins University Reported 48,000 new cases in the u. S. , reporting is lower on the weekend, so comparing apples to apples, this is the highest sunday total since july 26th and that number does not include hard hit wisconsin, which is performing system maintenance this weekend. Coronavirus of course hanging over this election this morning. With just over two weeks to go, dr. Anthony fauci was asked about President Trumps handling of the virus, and the super spreader event at the white house last night on 60 minutes. Were you surprised that President Trump got sick . Absolutely not. I was worried that he was going to get sick when i saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people and almost nobody wearing a mask. When i saw that on tv, i said, oh, my goodness. Nothing good can come out of that. Sometimes he equates wearing a mask with weakness. Does that make sense to you . No, it doesnt. Of course not. White house leadership on the pandemic has sunk to the point where twitter has removed a tweet by a Covid Task Force member dr. Scott atlas for undermining the performance of wearing face masks. Today pennsylvania and North Carolina, before the debate thursday in nashville, the New York Times reports gop strategists are deeply concerned mr. Trump will spend the final weeks of the campaign only energizing his base. Potentially crippling other republicans down ballot. That faceoff against joe biden will likely be mr. Trumps last chance to change the race. Cnns ryan nobles is on the road with the president in carson city, nevada. Laura and christine, President Trump making good on his promise to be very active on the campaign trail after he recovered from the coronavirus and heading into election day. The president on a torrid streak moving across the country. What was interesting is that during this rally in nevada, the interview on 60 minutes with dr. Anthony fauci was playing at the same time the president was speaking. Now, the president couldnt have heard what dr. Fauci had to say, but he did weigh in on what he thinks of the scientists and their assessment of the coronavirus. Take a listen to what he had to say. If you vote for biden, he will surrender your jobs to china, he will surrender your future to the virus. He will lock down. Hell listen to the scientists. If i listen totally to the scientist, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression instead of were like a rocket ship. Take a look at the numbers. Reporter the president didnt mention Anthony Fauci by name. He is one of the most prominent scientists dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. Its not hard to draw the line between the two. The way the rally played out, you can show the president has a different view of the pandemic, very little social distancing, hardly anyone Wearing Masks and we talked to quite a few of his supporters here, and they told us they dont wear masks because the president says they dont need to, and tahats going to continue to play out here as we head into election on november 3rd. Laura and christine. Thank you for that. Despite leading in the polls, the Biden Campaign is urging supporters to take nothing for granted this time around. The New York Times warning in a memo that polls can be faulty, and we cannot become complacent. The searing truth is that donald trump can still win this race. On sunday, Biden Campaigned in the battleground state of North Carolina. Cnns Arlette Saenz was there. Christine and laura, joe biden traveled here to durham, North Carolina. As inperson early voting is underway in the state. He held a socially distanced drivein style rally as he urged his supporters to make a plan to vote in these final weeks before the election as biden is hoping to turn the state that President Trump won back in 2016, hoping to turn it from red to blue in november, and biden, once again, criticized President Trump for his response to the coronavirus pandemic. And he argued the country is in a moment they need to overcome the division they are currently enduring. Take a listen to what biden had to say. As my coach used to say in college, its go time. Im running as a proud democrat. But i will govern as an american president. No red states, no blue states, just the United States. I promise you, ill work as hard for those who dont support me as those who did. Reporter later today, Kamala Harris returns to the campaign trail after the campaign had suspended her travel for a few days after two members of her traveling team had tested positive for coronavirus. But today she will be in the battleground state of florida, making stops in orlando and jacksonville, and later on in the week, the democratic partys biggest political surrogate, president obama, is hitting the campaign trail for joe biden. He will hold an event in philadelphia. His first inperson Campaign Appearance as hes making the pitch for the former Vice President in the final weeks before the election. Lawyer and christine. The voting is here. It is happening, more than 27 million ballots have already been cast. Thats almost 20 of the total vote count in the 2016 president ial election. At the same time, Senate Democrats are urging voters to be on high alert for efforts to undermine this election. They released a report advising patients and warning people to ignore President Trumps baseless claims about voter fraud. Cnn is learning democrats are hatching plans behind the scene to counter. New day will have more on that. Georgia has shattered the Record Number of ballots cast back in 2016 by more than 150 . Almost one and a half million ballots have been cast so far in that state. Meanwhile in florida, Election Officials are seeking to remove those who were formally convicted from the voter rolls if they still owe court debts. Thats according to an email sent to county Election Officials. In 2018, remember, voters approved restoring rights for more than 1 million floridians with felony convictions. Floridas Legislature Said any fines must be settled first. It wound up in the courts but its unclear if taking voters off the rolls would now affect the 2020 eligibility. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is putting more pressure on the white house to get a stimulus deal done. 48 only relates to if we want to get it done before the election, which we do. Well, dont you . Which we do. Were saying we have to freeze the design on some of these things. Are we going with it or not and what is the language. Im optimistic. 48 hours to get the job done after months of on again, off again talks between the two sides. Five months after democrats passed their own 3 trillion package. Theres yun veuniversal agreemee is needed. Economist diane swonk on what needs to be in this deal. We know now that the most effective bang for the dollar is help and aid to households that supplements those Unemployment Insurance checks. We know there needs to be money for testing and tracing and some aid for business but more importantly there needs to be money in transfers for the states. Transfers for the states. Thats something that the republicans have been against. Pelosi has been adamant the virus is a key element of stimulus. The speaker said the white house has watered down the democrats language on testing during negotiations. Plus theres still a block of gop senators who dont want to spend 2 trillion. Theyre going to be hard to convince. More talks today, laura, but this has been going on for so long. Its hard to see how they can get to yes in 48 hours. If it doesnt get done before the election, it seems harrowed to see how its going to get done during the lame duck. People are going to be waiting longer for help they need.

Moments ago, the world passed 40 million coronavirus cases. With the pandemic spiking across Europe National governments are facing a new problem, several major city and regional governments fighting back against tighter restrictions, where and why . International diplomatic editor Nic Robertson joins us live from london. Ni c nic. Its happening all across europe. You have it in spain, germany, and the uk, the local authorities in the city of man chester and other areas north of the country are pushing back against the government over local lock down issues. I think whichever country it is, you know, in germany, it seems to be the businesses that are pushing back, taking Central Government to court in berlin, and saying we want to keep our bars and restaurants open later in the evening. In madrid and spain, its the local courts saying the government lock down restrictions infringe on peop peoples rights, but i think broadly what youre seeing is a frustration between Central Government and the people. Fatigue by the people who, you know, are running out of patience. They want the coronavirus pandemic to be over, and they dont think that their governments are doing a good job. So you have this fatigue. You have this frustration. But that in itself is being driven by this loss of faith in Central Governments by local leaders, by local people that the Central Governments arent making the right decisions. Here in the uk, the Central Government has said Boris Johnsons government has said it will always follow the advice of the scientists. The scientists have now said you need a National Lock down. What were hearing from the local leaders in manchester is if theyre going to be pushed by the government into a tighter local lock down, they need more support for their businesses. Why . Because they fear that those businesses will move to other parts of the country. So again, broadly, it is this frustration in Central Governments handling that people dont think its being handled properly. Thats the broader narrative across europe and of course it doesnt make it easy for governments with weighted decisions. Its balance against business and the economy against the health and welfare of people. That trust in government is ebbing. Nic robertson, in london. Cnn has learned a Top White House official recently met with the assad regime in an effort to release american prisoners believed to be held by syria. The senior director for Counter Terrorism at the National Security council made the trip with the support of President Trump. The u. S. And syria have not had diplomatic relations since 2012. Cnn previously reported that the president wrote a letter to syrias president earlier this year, offering quote direct dialogue about journalist awe t austin tice.

Ryan nobles, thank you so much. President trump ignoring pleas to tone down his rhetoric against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer after the failed plan to kidnap her. Rhetoric the governor warns is dangerous. You know, its incredibly disturbing that the president of the United States ten days after a plot to kidnap, put me on trial, and execute me, ten days after that was uncovered, the president is at it again, and inspiring and incentivizing and inciting this kind of domestic terrorism.

Russias main Opposition Leader speaking out on camera for the First Time Since he was poisoned. Alexey navalny wants to know why President Trump is staying silent on the chemical attack against him. Cnns Fred Pleitgen is live in moscow this morning. Fred, what else did he have to say . It was a wide ranging interview he gave to cbs 60 minutes. One of the things he spoke about is what it was like to be poisoned. He said that he did not feel any pain but at the same time, he did realize that he was dying as he put it, he said at some point he went to the Flight Attendant of the flight that he was on and told him i have been poisoned, i am dying and then fell to the mans feet.

One of the things that Alexey Navalny realized or had heard that President Trump had so far not called out to the kremlin for the poisoning of alex yey navalny.
