In less than a month, americas pick a new P President re and whc the most consequential election in our lifetime. Both candidates stopping in key state as Harris And Trump deadlocked in Battleground H most in the whole margin of error. Esid but holes dont electCase president s, you do. Trump made his Case in wisconsin earlier today. We are a failinble,g nation. We are a failing nation. We are a nation in decLine. We are a nation in distress. And we are going to get it fixed very quickly. But you know what . If we have to go with another w four years with these people, these people and she is worse and she is worse than biden, in my opinion. Trey meanwhile Harris Wasamn in the birthplace of the Republican Party among other states this week. The tragic truth that we are facing in this election, that there is actually an Honestqu Question about onees of the candidates will uphold the oath to the consti
All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It was a big day for the future of american democracy. We will get to that significant action in a moment, but before we do, just give me a second to go back to the context of what happened in the last election. I think it has been obscured by the sabotage and disinformation and violent insurrection unlike anything weve seen in the history of the country stoked by the former president. Remember this, last november, right, once in a cent ray pandemic, we got a glimpse of what a full or fuller participation version of our democracy would look like because due to the pandemic, state after state, jurisdiction after jurisdiction, and i should note this is both democratic and republican there were fights over this. But across the board, more or less on the whole in the aggregate, all these places did something praise worthy and novel. They took steps to make it easier to vote.

Aggregate, all these places did something praiseworthy and novel. They took steps to make it easier to vote. They did this by expanding eligibility for mailin voting and early voting and adding drop boxes for ballots right . Theres Public Health concern.

Turnout was the highest it had been in 120 years. Nearly 67 of eligible voters cast a ballot. And also there was no uniform drubbing of one party by the other. It was not a blowout. It was a competitive election. Yes, joe biden won by a healthy margin. 7 million votes. 70 plus Electoral College votes. But remember republicans gained seats in the house. They want some key senate rates right . Now rather than looking at that outcome and thinking wow, we can be a Competitive Party even in high turnout elections which would have been a totally rational conclusion. Republican
Tweet earlier in the hour does suggest that you think these retailers are prepping us for numbers that are going to be tough to replicate. Yeah, i think that they have to, carl they all know that america was flush from the 1,200 check and they also know there is a lot of stay at home people trying to make their homes into an office and a home, and that thats largely passed now, that doesnt mean that you shouldnt buy these stocks because that money went to these essential retailers and now theyre stronger than ever, but i know that if you are if you are at walmart it does not pay to say this is going to continue same thing with home depot i say you wait, let them come down and recognize that these are just so good that you want to be in them. Particularly, say, if a lowes comes down, thats kind of attractive, they report tomorrow look, these are remarkable companies, but they are also given as remarkable companies are to humility and to a respect to the individual investor they dont wan
Green, firmly in the green especially for the nasdaq up almost 1 1 2 as we shake off some earlier concerns of a possible second coronavirus wave. Well talk a lot about that, as we have fox Business Team coverage of our top stories. Blake burman at the white house today. Hillary vaughn in washington. We start with edward lawrence. He has latest reporting on the covid19 case spikes. Edward . Reporter you know what, connell . This morning the spike in cases some other comments from a Federal Reserve president sort of set the market on that downward spiral but then it seemed to turn around. They shrugged it off when more people were saying that the economy would not shut down en masse. Here is white house advisor larry kudlow on that subject. We have no intention whatsoever of shutting down the economy, the costs of that would be much greater than the costs of, of, keeping it open. And i think this is manageable.
