New York City Public School families, 400,000 families responded. Ive never heard anything like that. 75 of them want their kids back in school in september. So the people are speaking, the obligation to respond to that but to do it safely and do it well. Dana will talk to former education secretary ernie duncan in a moment about all sorts of things regarding schools but first to laura ingle with the latest on School Reopening plans across the country. Laura, this is very much on the minds of american parents. You go to any neighborhood in america and you walk on the street and talk to parents and this is what they are talking about. The word that we are hearing mostly is hybrid. Its going to be the word of the new school year for so many across the country, as parents, educators and lawmakers try to strike the balance between safety and schooling for the fall semester. As we take a look at the numbers, they continue to change. At least 39 states have released School Reopening guidance
On his way to kenosha. A city where theres a smell of smoke in the area in parts of the business direct. On our way into town, we spotted utility crews descending on buildings that were burned down during the recent riots. Bidens first stop was an airplane hanger. Thats where he had a private meeting with members of jacob blakes family. Something President Trump did not do. Blakes dads and sisters attended in person. His mother and one of his lawyers joined by phone. The mayor recently said he thought biden was coming too soon. He thought he would meet with Business Owners and residents that feel grieved. He tried to draw a line in the sand for a candidate that is pro protest by antirioting and looting and tried to cast himself and the uniter and that President Trump pours gas on the flames. Throughout the pandemic, biden has spoken a lot about his long career with decades worth of examples where he thinks he was bringing people together, but during a pandemic, there are very limited o
Lets begin with jacqui heinrich. She is reporting live from wilmington. Hey, jacqui. Hey, dana. Both former Vice President joe biden and his running mate expressed doubts about a preelection vaccine following reports that President Trump pressured Health Officials to accelerate development of a vaccine to help his reelection chances. In the same breath, biden said, if a vaccine came about, science about it was transparent and it worked, he would be all for it even if it didnt help him politically. This is what he said last week. Ill ask the question, if the president announced the vaccine, would you take it . Only if it was completely transparent, that other experts in the country could look at it. Only if we knew all of what went into it. Because, so far, nothing hes told us has been true. The campaign has also voiced concern that the Trump Administration vaccine wouldnt be equitably distributed, seeing people of color are disproportionately affected by the virus and want assurances t
The fact that she did brief reporters of the white house this weekend without wearing a mask. It is all of us moving forward here showing the dangers of this virus that many people are positive with this without showing any symptoms. This is not the first person of the white house to test positive, you have the preside president , the first lady, chris christie, kellyanne conway, senator mike lee, senator tom tell us, reverend john jenkins, hope hicks, Ronna Mcdaniel and the president s Campaign Manager bill stepian. Officials say Vice President mike pence and his wife tested negative this morning.

A look at the days top news and headlines. Plausible, innocent explanation although i cant see one here for building all these offshore accounts and funneling money there to escape reporting it to the irs. On the other hand, i dont think the manafort defense is working. His defense is essentially this he is batman, hes blaming robin for all the problems. And thats just not going to work. Dana like the jury is not going to buy that let me ask you a few things that other possible, you know, big shot lobbyists in washington, d. C. Are rethinking some of their own practices at this point. That is a great question, dana. I think one of the things people overlooking is that manafort is not the unusual one in a way. He is unusual in that he tried to hide the money and not report it to the irs. Its not unusual in the way that he is making the money. He, like a lot i think this is partially why trump campaigned against quote, unquote, the swamp. There are lobbyists. A lot of people who just rec
