Later that year, so did President Trump by 10,000 votes. Ill talk to the head of the Democratic Party in michigan about their plan to turn things around for 2020. But first, lets go right to our nbc news road warriors. Mike menially covering the Biden Campaign in ohio. Shaquille brewster in detroit and gary hak in grand rapids, michigan for us. Mike, ill start with you. Joe biden is already out on the trail at an auto plant in detroit. As i understand it, things got pretty interesting at his stop. What happened . Reporter yeah. You know, its interesting, craig. Were here in columbus, ohio, where the Vice President will be in a couple of hours doing an event with leadership from every town and moms demand action and brady. A number of gun Safety Advocates who endorsed his campaign. Gun safety is an issue that joe biden used as a main policy contrast with Bernie Sanders. Joe biden, the author of the background check is criticizing Bernie Sanders for supporting legislation that exempted g
Hes losing to joe biden according to every poll even fox news. But it didnt work out the way he and Brad Parscale planned. They led up to the rally touting huge numbers and more than one million ticket requests. But the day of the vast majority of whoever requested those tickets were nowhere to be found. In fact, the 19,000 seat Capacity Center was visibly empty in some areas and now forbes is reporting turnout was only a rather humiliating 6,200. The events the campaign boasted about for the overflow of guests were canceled because there clearly was no overflow. There was so much extra space in the arena the mostly maskless trump crowd actually could have social distanced. Though they did sign waivers in case they catch covid. Reports of kpop fans and tiktok teens soon flooded twitter, with claims they purposely ordered hundreds of thousands of tickets as a prank. Recognizing the flop, trump allies rushed to twist the narrative and most likely anticipating the fury, parscale blamed ra
There are granting now that they reopened too quickly. Reporter yeah. Thats one of the questions there. We do know they had a stayathome order that did expire in the middle of may, and then they are saying there was a twoweek lag after that and thats when we started to see the cases really rise back up here in arizona and thats the reason for this concern. Theres also been a nonlinear plan on how to deal with masks. It is not mandated across the state of arizona to wear a mask and one of the questions that has come out of this as you have icu beds dedicated to Covid Patients at nearly 90 capacity right now. One of the questions that was asked of the governor was whether or not this went the way it should have gone. Take a listen to this exchange here. Did you screw up . Were fixing it . Okay. Were fixing it, and and were going to continue to adjust depending on what the data and information is. When it comes to protecting lives versus protecting livelihoods, were going to err on the si
Prosecuted bombings in birmingh birmingham. Last night the president left the white house heading to oklahoma where his Campaign Said there were hundreds of thousands of ticket requests and he would give an address to the arena and an overflow crowd. The events in oklahoma is unbelievable. The crowds are unbelievable. They havent seen anything like it. But this is what he found instead. The overflow area where his campaign built a stage was almost empty. Inside the arena, there were thousands of empty blue seats. The Tulsa Fire Department said fewer than 6,200 were inside the 19,000seat venue. The trump camp claims it was twice that. In his campaign speech, he spent more time talking about walking down a ramp than he did on George Floyds death. He repeatedly attacked joe biden drawing boos from the crowd but none of the chants from when trump rallied against Hillary Clinton. President trump said this about his strategy for fighting coronavirus. When you do testing to that extent, youre
Own. Tunisia, that massacre in a museum where at least 23 people died. Most of them Foreign Tourists from europe japan, australia, colombia many of those victims traveled there aboard two cruise ships which docked today in spain. Some spoke about narrowly evading the tragedy. We realized what happened. We turn the television on and tunisia. And then you realize that you escaped from it but other people are not lucky. Let me take you now back to Nick Paton Walsh who is in lebanon speaking about these mosque attacks in sanaa in the capital city of yemen. Let me try this again, nick. What are you hearing . How authentic are these isis claims that they did this . Reporter they come both in written form and audio statement from channels that have in the past carried similar isis messages. The problem with that claim is that isis have in the past not known to have much of a capability in yemen. There have been militants in yemen who asked for their leader of isis to accept their pledge of al
