Health against public livelihoods unfortunately, i think joseph fairs shot just dropped out for us. Ashley, i want to go back to you with this. Im wondering when the president and his team are weighing is it the economy . And does it tie directly to his political prospects going into november . And i asked that, because when i went to one of the rallies during the primaries, a New Hampshire rally, i went around and i asked dozens and dozens of people why they liked donald trump, and why they were voting for him again. And every single one of them mentioned the economy. And they mentioned their stocks, and they mention their 401 k . Thats exactly right and this, perhaps, answers this question. But in the previous question, i should have mentioned he is also listening to his Campaign Advisers and his campaign team, who are showing him internal and public polling about where he stands on coronavirus response, and how he matches up against joe biden in some of these critical swing states.
Chalice seems like it could be a possible spreader. Do you have any sense of why they didnt include them in the final product . There are things that are superseding science here, alisyn. I think it is no secret anymore. I think we have gotten glipss and hints of this all along. But now there is some really clear evidence of this, this is an example. In the original 68page draft that was released, it did have guidance for religious institutions. It is important. We know that there have been these clusters that emanated from places where people congregate and, you know, houses of worship are one of those places. We know there has been many places around the country where they advised trying to do online, you know, religious gatherings as opposed to in person. The fact it is gone from here is the fact it was in the original draft, i mean, i think it speaks for itself. There are things that are at play right now with regard to the guidance that were getting, with regard to the data that w
While this National Emergency rages on, the president is taking aim at his predecessor, president barack obama, calling him grossly incompetent, this after obamas veiled criticism yesterday over how the white house has handled the pandemic. But president obama is not the only one in the white houses crosshairs this evening. The administration is again slamming the centers for Disease Control and prevention. Heres the president s top adviser. Early on in this crisis, the cdc, which really had the most trusted brand around the world in this space, really let the country down with the testing, because not only did they keep the testing within the bureaucracy, they had a bad test, and that did set us back. All right, lets go to our white house correspondent, Jeremy Diamond. Jeremy, this is not the first time in recent days the white house has singled out the cdc for what they portray as major shortcomings. Reporter well, wolf, it certainly is remarkable to hear a senior white house officia
Those are the states in red. The states in deep red have growth of more than 50 . Nationwide, cases have risen more than 15 and in some key states, there is a substantial increase in the rate of people getting sick and an increase in the number of people who are so sick theyre in the hospital. This isnt just about more testing, despite the nonsense coming from the president on that front. The white house, in fact, now acknowledges that theyre preparing for a second wave of coronavirus in the fall. This is less than a week after Vice President pence said that fears about a second wave were overblown. The states of particular concern this morning do include florida. You can see the rise in cases there. And arizona. Look at the rise in cases there. President trump is holding an event in arizona tomorrow. Were also following breaking news involving nascar. A noose was found in the garage star of bubba wallace, the sports only toptier black driver. And this comes just weeks after he pushed
Washington, this is a special edition of the situation room, tonight the world reaches a number that just a few months ago seemed unthinkable. More than half a million dead, 25 of the deaths here in the united states. Over 125,000 americans have died over the past few months and the u. S. Trends suggest that the pandemic is not letting up at all. Only two states, rhode island and connecticut, two of the smaller states, reporting a decline in new coronavirus cases compared to last week. Over that same time, 36 states reporting an increase in new cases. Despite this dangerous surge, only 13 states have paused their reopening plans to try and slow the spread. The rest, at least for now, hoping they can boost their economies without boosting the virus. In the face of a growing Public Health disaster, President Trump still refusing to wear a mask in public. This as members of his own party and his own Coronavirus Task force are now imploring all americans to start Wearing Masks. Even the Vi
