Were barely 5 months from the election and the fight between the biden and trump campaigns for black and brown voters is poised to grow even uglier. Biden, for his part, has been making Real Investments in communities of color, coming off a multiple state tour promoting recordbreaking job creation for black workers and growing diversity of the federal courts on his watch. Not to be out done, trump held a Performative Rally not far from here, in the bronx thursday night where he brought out two indicted former gang members in a show of solidarity with black and latino voters. Because in his mind, thats what they relate to. He then glossed over record low unemployment rates to tell those voters in the bronx, of all places, that immigrants were taking their jobs away and hes still going on about crowd size, claiming nearly 30,000 people when it was more like a fraction of that, including those that protested his presence. In a minute ill talk to bronx congressman Richie Torres about the r

If donald trump is found guilty after closing arguments, he will not only be the first criminally indicted former president. Hell be the first Felony Convict to have held the presidency and who is trying to hold it again. If so, what will it change about the race. We have polls that suggest it will matter, and polls that suggest it will not. We just wont know until we know. Which is why the Biden Campaign is trying to put the onus of beating donald trump firmly on the voters. For one person familiar with bidens plans for a more aggressive posture, Donald Trumps legal troubles are not going to keep him out of the white house. Only one thing will do that. Voting this november for joe biden. President biden and his team have barely mentioned the indictments and the trials, instead, trying to focus voters on trump as a threat to democracy, and a threat to women. But is that enough . In a survey after survey, most voters say their Biggest Issue above democracy, above abortion is the economy
Speech. Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me. Haley is following in the grand old foot steps of many grand old republicans before her. Lying ted cruz, Little Marco Rubio and ron desanctimonious, and also of course the 2016 version of herself. Donald trump is everything i taught my children not to do in kindergarten. South carolina went through a terrible tragedy last year, and the kkk came to South Carolina from out of state to protest on our state house grounds. We saw and looked at true hate in the eyes last year in charleston. I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the kkk. That is not a part of our party. Thats not who we want. We will not allow that in our country. Governor, are you going to support donald trump . Its great to be is that a no . I would not be here if i wanted if i didnt want to make sure that hillary was not going to be the next president. Are you going to vote for donald
Were sent to the building according to multiple sources. Joining us now is von hilliard. What do we know about this . Reporter we know that there are at least two vials of blood that were sent to the rnc headquarters. This building is just two blocks away from the u. S. Capitol building offices. This is per u. S. Capitol police releasing a statement in just the last few minutes confirming that they responded. The u. S. Capitol responding and is a a suspicious package and reported at 7 45 a. M. Eastern and onsite about two hours and closing the surrounding streets around the rnc headquarters who have not released a statement at this time. It is not clear where two vials of blood came and the extent they may have been dangerous substances. Still a lot of outstanding questions. We are waiting for the u. S. Capitol police to provide further understanding of exactly what this package was, whether it was actually intended for the rnc, why and who it was from. Von hilliard, thank you so much.
