Things look very different than in years past. It is a Virtual Convention. Speaks come in from across the country. Former first Lady Michelle obama, senator Bernie Sanders will speak there is a republican on the list, speaking at the Democratic Convention former Ohio Governor john kasich. President trump in person will make his way to wisconsin. He will be in oshkosh trying to rally supporters ahead of the Republican National convention which begins virtually next week. The real reason we are here to speak to the voters, trying to get a pulse of the people if you will. You will hear from some of those voters in just a few moments. First our top stories with fox Business Team coverage. Blake burman is at the white house. We start with Lauren Simonetti on the markets. Lauren. Lauren connell, good to see you. The markets are closing the session out mixed. We have a new record close for the nasdaq. Apple shares, where do they end the day . They are within striking that two trillion dollar valuation t would be the first u. S. Company to reach that milestone. So, the number for apple would be 467. 76. A little bit shy today. We do have breaking news for you connell and melissa, epic games asked a federal court in california to block apple from removing their uberpop lar popular fortnight game. They asked apple to stop terminating their developer account. A story well continue to watch. S p 500 inched so close to the first record close in six months but it did fall short. It was up today, it snapped a twoday losing streak. The dow was held back by boeing, financials. American express, jpmorgan, and goldman sachs. Two dow stocks, retail stocks, both reporting tomorrow. Walmart and hole depot did close and home depot hit record highs. Walmart has lost a little bit of momentum a blowout quarter could propel the stock back. Earnings are expected to fall 1. 6 . Revenue to rise 3. 8 just over 135 billion in the quarter. Home depot, like i said, another so many records for home depot this year. Earnings there will rise more than 16 , revenue more than 11 . Look, customers despite stimulus checks coming back, being pulled, lower amounts right now, they are still expected to remodel, mulch, paint, you name it. Store traffic has been consistently robust. That is not expected to change anytime soon because we are living in a booming housing market. Connell, back to you. Connell yes we are, lauren. Good to see you, thank you. Melissa. Melissa not backing down, President Trump says that he is willing to fund the post office if democrats can agree to his version of the latest Coronavirus Relief package. Blake burman is live at the white house with details on this one. Blake. Reporter hi, there, melissa. There is no perhaps bigger issue here in washington, d. C. , then the fate and finances of the u. S. Postal service. To that end House Speaker nancy pelosi is going to be bringing back the house this weekend, this upcoming weekend, in between the two Political Conventions to vote on legislation potentially to shore up the post offices finances. Ahead of that she wrote to the democratic colleagues to start off the week, lead into it, at a time of the pandemic the Postal Service is election central. Americans should not have to choose between their health and their vote. Then from one week from today the democratic controlled House Oversight committee will hold a hearing involved the newly installed postmaster general lewis dejoy. They believe the president is trying to sabotage as nancy pelosi put it before the election will likely feature a surge of mailin voting during the covid19 pandemic. But the post office has been financially underwater by the billions and the president says reform measures are needed. I have encouraged everybody, speed up the mail, not slow the mail. I also want to have a post office that runs without losing billions and billions of dollars a year as it has been doing for 50 years. Reporter comments from the president on the south lawn as he left for minnesota and wisconsin where he is campaigning today. Melissa, connell, traditionally, traditionally during the week of a Political Convention the candidate who doesnt have the Convention Going on normally sits off to the sidelines. There is a little bit of reciprocity when that candidate has their convention. President trump doing anything but as he is hitting the campaign trail the week of the Democratic National convention. Back to you. Melissa oh, yeah. Everything that was once the way it was is out the window, blake. We know. That thank you. Here is Dan Henninger from the wall street journal he is also a fox news contributor. I think i must be in bizarro world. I go on vacation and i come back suddenly people are waking up to the fact that the post office is in crisis and theyre saying he is going to sabotage the post office . They have been doing a darn good job of sabotaging themselves for the entire time ive been in financial news. I mean their legacy costs, their unfunded liabilities, their pensions, their health care are, that number outstrips their total revenue. Save the post office with some bill . What are we talking about here . The thing needs to go bankrupt. What is going on, dan, help me out . Boy, i wish i could help you out, melissa because im in the same boat. Ive been on vacation myself but watching out of the corner of my eye this day after day after day story built around the post office . Are you like a saturday night live return. I love all the payons from nancy pelosi and rest of them how Crucial Institution to the post office is to the political life of United States. I think the president raised a good issue. It is not fraud. I wish he would stop talking about fraud and mailin ballots but the question whether mailin ballots are going to arrive in time and whether the Election Officials themselves, this is the real story here, whether the people who count ballots in places like florida, remember florida, happening chads, whether Election Officials are going to receive these ballots in time and be able to count them all on the night of the election. I think the president is absolutely right that the Election Results could extend in some of these substantially important states for days. You know there will be litigation over that. That is way beyond the issue of whether the Postal Service should be receiving Adequate Funding or not. Melissa i mean not only that all you have to do is look in my district here in new york. The master of disaster, Governor Cuomo himself, who somehow is going to take some sort of victory lap tonight at the convention which boggles my mind when we had so many people die from covid in Nursing Homes here, also when he was the one who wanted to flood the zone with envelopes out to the 12th district that were postage paid for primary in new york. It took six weeks. There wasnt a republican in sight. Took them six weeks to figure out which democrat won the primary for the 12th district. One out of five ballots were struck down and not opened because they werent postmarked. There was something wrong with them as soon as they showed up. We saw right here in new york that we arent good at doing this suddenly on the fly by mail. Why would it be any different in a president ial election, dan . There is no reason to think it is going to be different. In that controversy in new york state the new york state director of elections testified in court that allowing people to postmark their ballots within seven days of the election was simply incomprehensible and impractical. You cannot allow people to put something in a mailbox within seven days of a president ial election. So i think the burden should be on yes, indeed, politicians like Governor Cuomo and governors out across this country to move up the date by which youre allowed to postmark a ballot, mailin ballots so the Postal Service in its wonderful, incomprehensible competence can actually get these pieces of mail delivered. Everyone knows, melissa, these days, if you want to mail something first class what do you do, you send it fedex. You dont send it through the post office. There is real issue here. It is nothing, quite frankly to do with President Trump trying to destroy the Postal Service. Melissa now, i mean, also there are some obvious things we do, right . You could stretch out how long you could vote. Instead of making it one day, make it three days in some places. There are a lot of fixes that dont have to do with the post office because we all know, as you said, if you have something really important, i mean, social security, now payments are electronic. Your taxes, refunds, you go electronic. There isnt that much that is really important that people count on to move through the usps any longer, frankly when you do the regular mail it is not that reliable but you could ask for your absentee ballot right now. There are a lot of things that could be done. Why are we even considering the post office as part of this solution . Well, because were worried about the validity of the election. Lets make no mistake about it, in the middle of a pandemic, with a lot of people staying home it will be difficult for people to vote in person. I think there should be a burden to try to cast their ballot in persons. I have no real objection to the mailin procedure but i think it would have to be done every enough that the ballots can be counted in time because make no mistake, you can bet that both the republicans, both the trump camp and biden camp have armies of lawyers sitting to wait and challenge the outcomes in florida, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan and arizona. Melissa yeah. We could be into a situation where the results are not known and are litigated for months. I dont think we want to go through that again. The simple fix is mail them in within 14 days of the election. Melissa right. If you want to, if you dont want to go to a polling place, you want to vote absentee, go online, request a ballot right now. Get on top of it. Dan, thank you for this. Thats right. Connell. Connell in touch, melissa with the voters here in wisconsin. You might remember that after the bell visited racine a year. Right when we were kicking off our state economy series. So much has changed since then. Business owners are working to pick up the pieces in the middle of a pandemic. American workers have seen their jobs drastically a changed. Many are gone for good. Former Vice President joe biden has a lead over President Trump in crucial state. The lead is the six points in the average. Last time around wisconsin seemed to be something of a Tipping Point for the president as he barely defeated Hillary Clinton. That surprise win here helped to put him in the white house. How do voters feel today . Much that seems to pend on territory personal attitudes how the coronavirus pandemic was handled. When we look to the where the United States is compared to advanced economies, i think we could be much further along we take this more seriously. Do you agree with that. I work in a hospital. I work with covid patients. Yes this is very important to me. I think it has been handled very poorly. I think we needed connell all right. Well have much more to come from here. Well hear from more voters in a moment and take a closer look at the path to reelection for the president. I got to tell you if he wants to repeat the success four years ago t was such a slim margin of victory, he will need the support of a couple key demographics. Well get into that in detail when we come back. Well tell you what they are. Well have more from new york. Melissa. Melissa meanwhile biometric scans and disinfection chambers, the future of air travel is going hightech. Were live from Newark International airport with the new Safety Measures being put in place ahead of your next flight. Tada did you know Liberty Mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need . Given my unique lifestyle, thatd be perfect let me grab a pen and some paper. Know what . Im gonna switch now. Just need my desk. My chair. And my phone. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. I do motivational speakingld. In addition to the substitute teaching. I honestly feel that thats my calling to give back to younger people. I think most adults will start realizing that they dont recall things as quickly as they used to or they dont remember things as vividly as they once did. Ive been taking prevagen for about three years now. People say to me periodically, man, youve got a memory like an elephant. Its really, really helped me tremendously. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Simon pagenaud takes the lead at the indy 500 coming to the green flag, racing at daytona. Theyre off. In the kentucky derby. Rory mcllroy is a two time champion at east lake. He scores stanley cup champions touchdown only mahomes. The big events are back and xfinity is your home for the return of live sports. Not a politician. He is a businessman but he loves this country. He has the sensitivity that i feel and i relate to him, he relates to the people. Connell were back here in wisconsin trying to focus on the voters as much as possible and some of the issues they face. They and their families in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. We have about 2 1 2 months to go until election day. I stopped by dave daniels farm which was a spot we visited here last november. He was telling me was preparing for what he thought would be a very successful year. That is, until covid19. We were looking at a year that was supposed to be really promising at the beginning of 2020. Three months in we were looking at something that we have no idea what was going to happen. Connell has it changed since then . Has it started to come back . It has changed when we saw the demand come back. We know the restaurants are partially open but the Food Service Industry along with the government purchases for Unemployed People that need it, we saw the dairy demand come back. So weve seen prices go up over 20 right now, from the low of less than 13. Connell now you are getting back on your feet. The politics of all of this is what everybody is curious about because President Trump did very well in winning wisconsin by a slim margin with the rural farm vote, he did well with people like you. You voted for him last time around. How about this time around . A, are you still with him . Do you think farmers like yourself are still with the president . You know think the administration has done a good job with the trade, getting the usmca in place updating that. Getting trade with japan started. The china issue is something we would like to see gotten better. It is working on it. What i think the rural areas still leaning towards President Trump. I see a lot more trumppence signs out in the rural area than i see a biden. Connell still with him yourself. Im leaning towards him. I still would like to see what biden is going to bring to the table on agriculture side. Connell so youre open Virtual Convention but youre open to listening to former Vice President biden . Right. Connell more so than Hillary Clinton last time around . I think so. We had eight years of overregulation and in my mind. I think the regulation has calmed down a little bit with President Trumps administration. So im hoping that we can continue own with that same probusiness structure. And i think biden is little bit more than side, than i think mrs. Clinton was. Connell so the farm vote is huge for the president if he wants to keep this state in his column whereas the support of another group, suburban women is crucial in just about all of these swing states. I spoke with Mercedes Schlapp about that. She is a Senior Advisor now for the Trump Campaign. She was at a rally here in wisconsin over the weekend. She argues the president has growing support in this demographic both inside and outside of his campaign. Take a listen. What argument do you make to the suburban College Educated woman that maybe isnt so sure about the president s style. Right. Connell but hasnt decided who she will vote for this time around . What is your argument . I fit that realm of suburban mom, mom of five kids, working mom, College Educated. I had the opportunity to work with the president in the white house, i got to see him firsthand how he made decisions. He is a man with a lot of common sense, very results oriented and would listen to women advisors. Connell he is not thrown off by strong women . Never thrown off by strong women. He surrounds himself with strong woman. It is important to share the message who the president really is to the suburban women. What i have been finding were going across wisconsin and the field offices
