Nationalists just fired up with president ial backing. But tonight i can happily report to you some good news. News that despite all of that, democracy is winning. With less than three weeks until the day we start counting the votes, americans are out in force. Theyre angry and determined and voting in record numbers. They are literally saving our democracy one vote at a time. Just look at these long lines across the country, including in georgia and texas and tennessee. And people are voting like gangbusters, even while donald trump and his republican minions are fighting democracy at every turn. Trump flunkies like senator mike lee of utah are on twitter screaming, democracy is bad, and Lindsey Graham is crying on tv that his opponent is getting more donations. And Trumps Campaign is fighting tooth and nail in court to stop all of this terrible voting, to stop you. And theyre losing there, too. The Trump Campaign got smacked down by courts in the key state of pennsylvania recently. O
His return to the trail coming despite his refusal and the refusal of his doctor and white house staff to confirm whether trump has received a negative test result yet, asking instead that we essentially take them at their word that hes not contagious anymore. This as trumps top aides continue to resist measures like mask wearing that scientists, including dr. Fauci say, could have helped to prevent the white house outbreak in the first place. Trumps chief of staff, mark meadows, was seen with reporters today refusing to greet them, wearing a mask. The same mark meadows who was one of the few staffers with donald trump in the oval office while he was still infectious last week, although meadows says he was wearing full protective equipment at the time. Here he is trying to remove his mask in front of a visibly uncomfortable group of reporters today. Let me pull this away monopoly. Yep, yep, pull this away. That way i can take this off to talk. Oh. Well, im more than 10 feet away. Im no
Weve still got 11 days to go and election day, and one county in texas, hayes county is close to being the first county in america to completely surpass its entire vote from 2016. Every single day, millions of people are voting, the window is of course closing for undecided voters and for the campaign. Last night, we saw the final set piece of the campaign, meaning there are no more built in planned inflection points for an incumbent president who is trailing badly, and his desperation to pull out some magic trick was evident last night. President trumps approach to the campaign has been precisely the same as his approach to the coronavirus, and it is why he is 10 points down in the polls with eleven days to go, and it is why we are setting new records for covid cases today. According to the covid tracking projec project, there were a record 83,000 cases in the United States today. That means more cases today than any other single day during any of the eight months of the pandemic. It
Theres a chance georgia will go blue for the First Time Since 1992, kristen. It would be remarkable, andrea, youre absolutely right. The Biden Campaign showing confidence heading into this final week and really going on offense. The fact that they are campaigning here in georgia which as you point out is a reliably red state. In terms of what we expect to hear from former Vice President joe biden, he will be laying out his Closing Argument today, andrea. Hes going to do it in warm spri springs, a place where former president roosevelt, fdr, went to heal from polio. Im told biden will use that as a backdrop to the argument that he will help the economy heal from the pandemic, from the economic crisis, and will also cast himself as a unifying candidate. Hell use that to contrast himself against President Trump. And then his second stop is going to be here in atlanta. Its going to be a drivein rally. Weve seen so many of those where of course people honk instead of cheer. This really unde
Battleground states. Im not taking anything for granted. Im out here every day trying to earn votes. Look at the lines and voter misinformation going on. Weve all been part of a lot of elections but this one is different. President trumps crosscountry Campaign Continues today in arizona with what our nbc First Read Team is calling the 2016 playbook accusing his opponent of corruption and embracing new lock him up chants while the task force tries to contape the spread of the coronavirus. You vote for biden, he will surrender your jobs to in chao, he will surrounder your future to the virus. Hes going to lock down. Hes going to want us to lock down. Hell listen to the scientists. If i listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression. I think its fortunate that the president of the United States benefited from science. I think deep down he believes in science. If he didnt, he would not have in trusted his health to the very compe
