Good evening once again. Im Steve Kornacki in for brian williams, who has the night off. Day 1,321 of the Trump Administration and 63 days to go now until the president ial election. Donald trump took his law and Order Campaign message to kenosha, wisconsin, today. This nine days after a Police Officer shot an unarmed 29yearold africanamerican man, jacob blake, seven times in the back.

The president also claimed credit for the deployment of the National Guard
Mastery gener master general . Theres no intention to do that, theyre not needed, sir. Did you discuss those changes or their potential impact on the election . I remind you youre under oath. Ive never spoken to the president about the Postal Service other than to congratulate me in the position. Todays hearing follows news this morning that six states and the district of columbia are filing a new lawsuit against the Postal Service over their concerns with efficiency and possible cutbacks as 20 states have now filed suit against those cuts. The fight over reversing the cuts is critical as we are now officially in the election, the general election campaign, with joe biden accepting the democratic nomination in a speech widely praised for not only attacking the president but presenting himself as the person who can take on four unprecedented crises at the same time. The pandemic, the economic collapse, the racial awakening and protests, and climate change. And what biden is describing a
Distancing. They didnt have to restrict their movements around the city like they did in new york city a few weeks earlier, and they had fewer covid tests, although they did get one upon arrival. We hope they stay safe. They had a successful Tour De France that was healthy. We hope the same for the next two weeks at the french open. Thanks, matt. It is a new hour on msnbc.
