Weeks. Vice president pence claiming that the white house will be, quote, very respectful of local communities who decide not to reopen. But then President Trump earlier today threatened to cut off funding for schools that dont open. This all comes as at least 11 states see record high hospitalizations. I want to get right to cnns erica hill with some breaking news. What are you learning, erica . Reporter so were just getting some new numbers on the hospitalizations in the state of california, which are up 44 according to the governor over the past two weeks. Those in intensive care, that number has climbed by 34 over the last two weeks. The number of cases, he announced today, 11,694. He did say about 2,000 of those are a backlog out of l. A. County. But still more than 9,600 cases even with that backlog. And were seeing more and more of this across the country.

Check, one thing i noticed there is now it seems the president is a bit mudying the water of why he cares so much about the Postal Service. Now hes going back to what he said previously about being concerned over the financial situation with the post office when he made very clear last week why he is holding up, why hes not interested in funding the Postal Service.

Bill clinton and alexandria ocasiocortez. She used her 60 seconds to talk about the progressive policy platform but never mentioned joe biden by name. Clinton and other speakers used their time to make the case against a second term for President Trump. In this Job Interview the difference is stark. You know what donald trump will do with four more years, blame, bully and belittle. You know what joe biden will do, build back better. From the moment President Trump took office he has used his position to benefit himself rather than our country.

Because he wants to control the narrative. There is no big problem. Couple bad apples. I think its the orchard. Not just a few apples. Its not about all the police. Its not about people having black hearts. No soul. Its not what it is. It is a cheap excuse. Its about the system. Its about the money we put in and the results we get out and the way we calibrate the two. Its about how we train, how we explain, and how we coordinate. Its big. And its not just policing. Its lending. Its educating. Its hiring. Its paying. And its loving. And he knows it and he wont say it because he doesnt think it sells. He literally doesnt think that this country treats some people differently than others especially on the basis of color and perceived class. And he is wrong. That is why joe biden went there. Can he sell a dif
Reporting from peter doocy who kicks off this hour. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We just watched joe bidens motorcade roll out of here. He was inside the chase center for less than three hours. We saw Kamala Harris inside the chase center, pretty late until last night, more than two hours. This is the spot where she is going to speak tonight. Hes going to speak tomorrow night.
