Reporter Vice President mike pence defended the administration. What i want the American People to know that from the very first day, President Donald Trump has put the health of america first. Reporter and said the biden harris plan was nothing new. Quite frankly, when i look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new ppe, developing a vaccine, it looks a little bit like plagiarism. Whatever the Vice President is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasnt worked. Reporter at times, the Vice President dodged questions. How would you describe our fundamental relationship with china. Thank you, susan. Let me before i leave that, let me speak to voting records, if i can. Would you want your home state to ban all abortions . Well, thank you for the question, but ill use a little bit of my time to respond to that very important issue before. For her part, harris wouldnt say if a Biden Administration would attempt to add seats on the Supreme Court. Joe has been very clear, as the American People are, let the American People fill that seat in the white house and then well fill that seat on the United States Supreme Court.

Today Vice President pence and senator harris are campaigning in the battleground state of arizona where biden will join his running mate. Nikole, thank you. Now to breaking news about the next president ial debate. The commission on president ial debates made the october 15th event virtual due to the coronavirus. President trump who is still being treated for covid is not happy with that decision. Ben tracy is at the white house following all of it. Ben, whats going on . Good morning. President trump says debates should be done in person so he is not going to participate. Instead, holding a Campaign Rally on that night. Now the Debate Commission did make this decision without consulting the campaigns, although former Vice President joe biden says he will show up. President trump is also making new claims about his health. Im not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. Thats not what debating is all, about you sit behind a computer and do a debate. Reporter during an interview with fox business, President Trump says hes not going to waste his time on a virtual debate. Trying to protect biden. Everybody is. Reporter he insists hes feeling great. Praising an experiment at antibody cocktail he was given to treat his coronavirus infection. I feel perfect. Theres nothing wrong. I had a case. I got it knocked out. I think it was regeneron that was responsible for it. Because of that, it was sort of like almost a gift from heaven. Reporter that echoed his statements outside the oval office wednesday. It just made me better, okay . I call that a cure. Reporter there is no cure yet for the virus and the treatment the president received at walter reed, according to one analysis, would cost the average american more than 100,000. I want to get for you what i got. And im going to make it free. Reporter the drug made by Pharmaceutical Company regeneron is currently only available to Clinical Trial participants and has still not yet been approved by the fda. Earlier wednesday, the president s doctor released another very brief update on his condition saying President Trump has been symptomfree for more than 24 hours and has detectable levels of covid antibodies in his blood. But those are likely due to his treatment and not an immune response. On that phone call, the president also made light of his ability to recover from the coronavirus. I am back because i am a perfect physical specimen and im extremely young. And so im lucky in that way. I dont have heart problems. I dont have diabetes. I dont have any of the problems you read about. Perhaps a couple of pounds we can lose here or there. Theres a lot of people in that category. Late last night, regeneron asked the fda for an emergency use authorization for this experimental drug that President Trump claims, without evidence, cured him. The company says initially it will have enough doses for about 50,000 patients. Thats far less than the hundreds of thousands of doses President Trump says are ready to go. Ben, thank you. Were joined by our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook. Good morning. How does this experimental treatment work exactly . Anthony, remember there are two phases. That first phase, about a week long, the virus is multiplying in somebodys body. In the second phase, that inflammatory phase, the bodys immune system is overreacting to that virus attack. Its that overexuberant reaction that can cause so much damage. What you want to do is in the first week try to somehow decrease the amount of virus or effect of the virus. Thats what this Monoclonal Antibody does. It prevents the virus from actually attacking and infecting a human cell and that with remdesivir are two approaches to try to decrease the viral effectiveness, the viral load and viral damage in that first week. We heard the president call it a cure. Is it . Its too early to say that its a cure. Remember that there are symptoms. Thats how somebody feels and signs. Thats actual data. He says hes feeling well. Im sure the president s doctors are happy about that. But remember hes on steroids which can mask symptoms, mask fever and make him euphoric and increase his mood, cause insomnia. So really, right now, theyve got to watch to see the not only the symptoms but the signs. What are the blood tests showing, the xechest xrays. Is it safe . Are there side effects . You know, so far it does seem to be safe at least in he regeneron study. It showed people who got the placebo had no had about the same number of side effects as the people who got the treatment. In terms of the way it works, these are humanized antibodies and theres been a long history of them being used. And they do seem to be safe. But again it is experimental and with any experimental treatment you have to follow it and see is there some unexpected side effect. Dr. Jon lapook, thanks for being with us.

Hurricane delta is, as of now, projected to make landfall within 15 to 20 miles from where hurricane laura made landfall just six weeks ago in lake charles. You there were for it. That would be incredible if the same people devastated by laura get hit yet again. Lets start with what delta did in mexico. Were in a pandemic ght now.

Reporter this morning, along the louisiana gulf coast there are mandatory and voluntary evacuations in place in different places. As we take a look at the radar, you have delta in the gulf right now. Its expected to strengthen to a category 3 at some point today. But heres the catch. As it gets closer to the louisiana coastline, the water is cooler there. So its believed that delta will weaken to a category 2. By comparison six weeks ago, hurricane laura was a category 4 when it hit this area. Landfall is scheduled for, give or take, five 5 00 or 6 00 local time tomorrow night. Man, david, you look at those stories and go how much more can we take . How much more . Please, 2020, enough.
