Good evening. Im erin burnett. Outfront tonight, the october surprise that isnt a surprise. Coronavirus is raging. We are now six days away from election day. And team trump is betting on the message that the virus is vain quished. Even as his own task force washes of an unrelenting and broad spread of the virus, even as dr. Anthony fauci says the u. S. Will not get back to some semblances of normality until the end of 2021, maybe later. Well, you can see the denial at trumps rally right now. It is his second of the day in arizona. Few masks, no social distancing. Even as arizona is facing a near 60 increase in the sevenday average of hospitalizations. You can see it at Vice President pences rallies today, breaking his quarantine again. This is wisconsin earlier today, which recorded a Record Number of deaths yesterday. Pence just now landing in michigan for another rally which is facing a record in hospitalization levels. This is on a day that American Voters have been given the stark
Two weeks later. Now, in a state with a razorthin margin of now just over 12,000, that is a serious problem.

Yet another perfect example why election observers are critical if we want free and Fair Elections in this country. But in almost every state where the law guarantees partisan observers the right to watch the boats start to finish and the vote count, the law was never followed. State after state we saw partisan o
To behave like an dictator, refusing to accept that the voters have spoken, erroneously declaring victory, bulldozing over our democracy and hunkering down in the white house, refusing to relinquish the reins of government or even to admit hes been fired by the American People. Trump is no longer an autocrat in the making, hes already there. In an election one has lost, an election that has zero evidence of fraud, thats what autocrats do. Trumps focus is on his power and his ego, and perhaps on that orange jumpsuit that may be waiting once he leaves office. His focus is nowhere near his duty to protect the American People from a raging pandemic which has now taken more than 251,000 lives. And behind every strongman is his supine party, the fixers and the kingmakers and the thugs who enable him. Trumpian mascots like mitch mcconnell, william barr and Lindsey Graham, seen here fist bumping Vice President elect Kamala Harris on the senate floor, despite his claims of voter fraud in the el
