5 a. M. In new york. Just nine weeks to the election. In just a few hours air force ones will be wheels up to kenosha, wisconsin. The president is looking to shore up support in a critical swing state but local officials are fearing he wont bring healing to a community in need of it. His record is quite welldocumented and this time is no different as he defends right wing agitators and casts aside those protesting against Police Brutality as, quote, left wing mobs. Asked if he would condemn the actions of the white teen who shot and killed two people during protests in kenosha last week, the president did just the opposite.

Meantime, fda commissioner stephen hahn said it is possible that he could resign if there is any political pressure t
Were looking at all of it. That was an interesting situation. You saw the same tape as i saw. And he was trying to get away from them, i guess, it looks like, and he fell. And then they very violently attacked him. Joe biden says that response that you just saw is unacceptable after a speech in pittsburgh yesterday where he condemned violence on all sides. Biden released a statement slamming the president for giving rittenhouse a pass writing in part, quote, the president declined to rebuke violence. He is too weak, too scared of the hatred he has stirred to put an end to it. And in wisconsin, theres a standstill after republican lawmakers there convened a special session of the state legislature to address police reform. But get this, it lasted for less than 30 seconds. Well talk to one of the lawmakers who was in the room for that very short session. I want to start with nbcs Peter Alexander at the white house and Shaquille Brewster in kenosha, wisconsin. The president defended Kyle
