The only thing i can tell you for sure is it will be a woman. Is that okay. Joe biden is hitting the Virtual Campaign trail this weekend including in this exclusive interview with Stephanie Ruhle where he talked about a variety of topics including his response to President Trump calling him a socialist. Look, the other week i was two tough. Now the American People i think they know who i am, they know my heart, know my story, my family story. And trump is using socialism to scare and distract floridians from the pandemic. He. Braced dictators around the world. It is ridiculous. This all comes just three days ahead of the first president ial debate where biden and trump will go face to face for the first time. Back now to the white house. Kelly odonnell is standing by for us. Welcome to you, my friend. The president is set to formally announce his scott us pick three hours from now. He is also meeting with faith leaders before he does that. Bring us up to speed on everything thats happe
Meeting with judge barrett because i simply refuse to treat this process, a sham, illegitimate process as fair. One of the things i want to ask her is will she recuse herself. Because of any election issues that come before us. If she does not recuse herself, i fear the cuourt will be delegitimized. There is fanning the flames of division in a country thats already divided. We can slow it down, perhaps hours, maybe days at the most but we cant stop the outcome.

Thousands of american workers. More on that when i talk to Garrett Haake on capitol hill in a moment but i want to start with nbcs peter alexander. Hes at the white house and ali vitali also in d. C. Peter, President Trump full steam ahead on the rally front. Big rallies all weekend. That is his jam. Any worries from fallout from tuesdays debate or hes just going to keep churning ahead and hoping to move the news cycle . The president does seem unfazed but his allies are worried with him trailing in the polls to attract those undecided voters, he squandered that opportunity, even repelled some of those undecideds. If the white house and campaign, as our team has been reporting, was quiet and in shock, one of the real challenges for this president is its another two weeks before the next debate between him and the former Vice President joe biden. Any chance for a course correction. Has to wait. He has to marinade in a lot of those bad headlines until that. And that puts pressure on the
Anything president Vladimir Putin of russia could have imagined. All mr. Putin has to do now is amplify the president s message. The front page of todays New York Times illustrates that point perfectly. For urgent, a1 stories describing the president s intensifying push to erode trust in the vote. Active measures to disrupt the polling places and fears when the president of this country fails to condemn White Supremacy and the threat all of that poses to the very existence and future of our democracy. And we cant say that we werent warned, folks. Here is fiona hill. Our highly professional and expert Career Foreign Service is being undermined. The russian governments goal is to weaken our country. To diminish americas global role and to neutralize a perceived u. S. Threat to russian interests. We are running out of time to stop them. Now to break it down, the president s disinformation lately falls into three broad categories. One, lies about the pandemic. Two, lies about his political
