Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. How do you campaign for reelection when the country is falling apart . How do you try to get four more years when thats happening now is this . Today the president was in ohio for what were basically campaign events. At one event they actually played the song live and let die on the song system before he took the stage, which is a strange choice during a deadly pandemic. Sort of Paul Mccartneys version of it is what it is, i suppose. The plan had been for the governor of ohio mike dewine to greet the president when he arrives. So governor dewine got tested in advance of meeting the president. Guess what . The test showed that he has the coronavirus. Now instead of greeting with donald trump, he is in quarantine, making him the second governor in the country that we know of to have contracted the virus. And it did not get better. The president s remarks at the airport were billed as being about, quote, economic prosperity, but they came on a d

Works. Vote him out thats harsh. Trump was confronted with signs of how big of a challenge he faces november. New york times poll shows him trailing joe biden in iowa, tied in georgia, and barely leading in texas, all states that he won in 2016. Just out tonight fox news polls show him losing three battleground states, nevada, pennsylvania, and ohio. What . Like it or not trump is facing the consequences of his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic. More than 203,000 american lives have been lost to the virus under his watch. Facing dismal prospects hes showing autocratic tendencies, trying to send a message that voters be damned, hes not going anywhere. Will you commit to a peaceful transfer of power after the election. Well have to see what happens. You know ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster. I understand that. But people are rioting.

Ban noknock warrants. Lining up for roll call. The suspect charged in that attack is now scheduled to be arraigned today and the mayor of louisville is calling for peaceful protests heading into the weekend. Its important for those taking to our streets and those supporting demonstrators from home to understand the power of this moment. You have the attention of the people who lead our government, our businesses, our education.
