hello, everybody. i'm john king in washington. thanks for sharing your day with us. we begin this workweek headed in the wrong direction and with the president of the united states

trying to blame those who work for him and yet escape responsibility for himself. the coronavirus cases are numbing, 59,000 new cases can on sunday and 428 new deaths. one positive milestone, new york city reporting zero coronavirus cases over a 24-hour period, the first time since four months ago we can say that. most of the country is reporting troubling or at least concerning numbers and you might think that a president would care to lead us at a point of this. president trump instead undermine offing his own experts again, launching a coordinated attack on dr. anthony fauci because he doesn't like dr. fauci's comments on trend lines. the president turning to game show host and conspiracy theorist chuck woolery re-tweeting that accuses a trump cdc among others to hurt the

president's re-election chances. numbers donuts lie, and the numbers suggest you are a lot safer if you embrace dr. fauche es's concerns over the conspiracy theories of the president and chuck woolery. let's take a look at the numbers, rand they are not good. remember, in april and pay into early june the curve flattening. this is late june into july and where we are today, record number of cases, up, up, up, seven-day moving averages that is the red line. that's not direction you want to be headed. if you look at the death count here, one of the mitigating factors, if you will, one of the more encouraging numbers was the death count was going down, but you can see the seven-day moving average of late starting to tick back up. that's something that we will watch as we begin another workweek. does that blue line keep heading up? hospitalizations, remember all the governors who reopened early saying don't look at the case count. our hospital systems can manage this. well, it was coming down, but that curve, now hospitalizations trending back up, much like the

cases, cases going way up, hospitalizations now starting to track with it. that is a trouble sign as states try to manage this crisis. if you look at the trend map, 50 states and 50 plans on the reopening. right. look at this. i've been gone for two weeks. 35 states now heading in the wrong direction. 12 states, that's the beige holding steady. only three, only three reporting lower case count this week compared to last week. they are maine, new jersey and dell way, but look, a lot of orange, more troubling is the red. minnesota having a hard week there. this is just a bad map if you look at it right now. another thing, the president says more cases because of more testing, well, that's in part true but the key is you do more testing, are you stopping community spread? are you driving the rate of positive testing down. these states a problem. south carolina, florida, mississippi, texas, look at arizona, nearly 27% of the tests coming back positive. what do those high numbers tell you, that you have a community spread problem. florida is on the leading edge of this coronavirus surge. as you go through all this into

the states, cnn's rosa flores live for us in miami with the latest numbers. rosa? >> reporter: well, john, florida department of health just released the latest numbers, they are down a bit, but there is no good news here. according to the florida department of health yesterday in the past 24 hours 12,600 cases. now here in miami-dade county where i am, the epicenter of this crisis. 24% of the states now more than 280,000 cases are right here in miami-dade county, and every metric that you look at is going in the wrong direction. if you look at the 14% -- the 14-day average positivity rate it's at 26% here in miami-dade county. the goal is not to exceed 10%. they have exceeded 22% for the past 14 days. during the same time period hospitalizations are up 65%, icu beds 67% and ventilators 129%. the city of miami mayor francis suarez says he's very concerned

about these numbers. take a listen. >> it's inevitable that we're going to see deaths rising in the state and, you know, we're going to -- we're hoping to see, you know, things improve over the next couple of weeks because we are reaching a critical level. we have to flatten the curve, got to get people to wear masks in public, and, you know, we've got to get control of this. >> john, as we look statewide at last checks, 35 icu hospitals were at capacity in the state of florida. one of those is in broward county, so even though miami-dade is the earp center of this crisis, our neighbor to the north is second, accounting for 11 percent of all cases with more than 30,000 in that county. >> one of the things you've been tracking is transpairnsy and the state not releasing numbers. you have to go county by county.

we did finally see some statistics about hospitalizations. what did did that tell you? >> the state of florida release had had hospitalization covid cases on friday and it's very difficult to tell exactly what the number says because the state did not release historical value. on friday that number was 7,000. today that number is 8,000. 8,000 hospitalizations in the state of florida, but, again, john. the problem here is that florida is not released the historical data, so it's very difficult for us to look at these numbers and analyze them and know exactly which way they are going, but from friday until now, friday they were 7,000 and now it's 8,000 just a few days later. john? >> john. grateful for the late, and it would be helpful from the state of florida would be transparent beginning to where we are now. rosa, appreciate the live numbers. numbers in florida are troubling. florida was on the leading edge

of the coronavirus reopening, you'll recall, and the governor was dismissive of those who questioned whether he was doing too much too soon. >> we've succeeded, and i think that people just don't want to recognize it because it challenges their narrative. it challenges their assumption so they have got to try to find a boogieman. >> the governor was among those arguing the case counts were not troublesome because the hospitals had capacity and our next guess describes their emergency room and icu as busting at seams. the ceo of the hospital at pembroke pines west. describe what you means by busting at the seams, what's the stress you're seeing whether it's the emergency room or the ic seniw. >> what i'll tell you is right now i have inhouse 260 patients, that's out of my 502 beds, so right now we're at an icu capacity of 103%, and then if

you just carve out the covid icu, it's at 180%. that's a 26% increase from last monday. >> 26% increase from last monday. >> that is correct. >> and so when you say you're at 100% plus in these cases can, what do you do? are you now rolling back so other patients are going to have to stop other services at the hospital? sending people elsewhere, getting the help you need from whether it's at county or the state? >> so what we've done are a few things. we've cancelled all elective procedures that. allows us to redeploy staff into our high priority areas. we've reallocated some of those spaces, for example, preoperative areas, post-operative areas and created expanded icus there. we've set up tents outside of our emergency rooms to help with the capacity in the emergency room. we've converted many non-traditional areas in the building to patient care areas. for example, auditoriums, conference rooms, classrooms.

we've done -- we've contracted with travel health personnel to help us with the staffing concerns that we have. so we're doing everything that we can and basically we're creating space at every inch of the building. as need. >> the effort is remarkable, and we applaud you for it. i want to show you the case numbers by state. if you look at yesterday, new cases can on sunday, 15,300 in florida, texas and california and arizona and georgia, that shattersed -- new york at the peak what have we thought was the peak at pandemic, it shattered that. what are you seeing in your hospital when new patients come in? are you seeing a group of people part of one reckless careless event or seeing evidence that it's widespread and getting worse community spread? >> honestly i think that's a combination of both. i think you have -- we may have had some lackadaisical behavior throughout the state where people were not wearing masks or social distancing. i also think you probably had

people who are just tired of being isolated and have gone and met with family and spent time there, and, unfortunately, that is not not helping the spread of this really awful disease. >> lastly i want to come back to the resource question. a lot of us had hoped that we were past asking these questions, but when it comes to icu bed, when it comes to ventilators and ppe. do you have what you need, or are you back at a crisis point? >> i have what i need right now, but i will tell you that if the surge continues as it has been over the next few weeks, we have significant concerns about just beds alone, ventilators, oxygen supply, dialysis equipment, personnel protective equipment. again, i say to you we have enough right now, but if the surge continues, i have significant concerns about whether or not we'll have what we need. >> leah carpenter, appreciate your time, and more importantly we appreciate all the work you're doing for people in your community and we'll keep in touch. grateful for your time.

thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. up next, the president says don't blame him but blame the people who work for him. when we started carvana, they told us

that selling cars 100% online wouldn't work. but we went to work. building an experience that lets you shop over 17,000 cars from home. creating a coast to coast network to deliver your car as soon as tomorrow. recruiting an army of customer advocates to make your experience incredible. and putting you in control of the whole thing with powerful technology. that's why we've become the nation's fastest growing retailer.

because our customers love it. see for yourself, at carvana.com. the president is in charge of the government but says you shouldn't listen to its top infectious dtds expert or the agency charged with fighting pandemics and other major health emergencies. it's bizarre management behavior at any time and confusing a, maybe even dangerous, in the middle of the coronavirus surge. the new attack on the cdc is part of the president's morning twitter rage. the chuck woolley was the first host to sinn fein the wheel of fortune and don't forget "the love connection" and the president retweeted this rant saying the cdc is in cahoots

with doctors to hurt the economy and the president's re-election chances. dr. anthony is fauci missing from this statement made by the trump political adviser that the white house demanded be the top spokesman at the department of health and human services. michael caputo says we have great faith in the capacity of it all our scientists and doctors on the coronavirus task force to impart necessary public health information. people like admiral giroir and surgeon general adams and others are carrying these messages very effectively. with me now to discuss is tamara keith and white house reporter from the "the washington post." it would be interesting if the president for npr said we're a great organization but don't listen to any of the reporters. what's the president trying to do here? >> thankfully the head of npr isn't saying that. >> no. >> the president has his own ideas about the best way to handle this, and the president himself has repeatedly downplayed the severity of the

virus. he's -- before he was pushing for businesses to reopen and states to reopen, pushing governors to reopen. now he's pushing for schools to reopen and -- and he tends not to like anything that conflicts with the message that he is pushing, that everything is okay or going to be okay. and, you know, i was talking to a white house official today who said that they do have lots of scientists, not just futury, and that seems to be the message albeit at times been unclear coming out of the white house this weekend. they are sort of tired of fauci being the be all and end all and would like to amplify other voices, too, in part because fauci-fauci is not anybody's scientist except his own. he goes out there and tells it like it is. >> look, everybody, including people in the media, everybody, every governor, every mayor, every president.

we only have one and everybody who works for him has made hat least one mistake during this. that's just a fact. we're human beings and it's a novel virus. to tamarah's point, what's interesting is if you were the president you would think you would want a diversity of opinion and advice. but when you communicate publicly in the middle of a pandemic you would like to be on the same page. listen to dr. giroir, when he said testing was horrible, testing was great. maybe his credibility should be -- >> i respect dr. fauci a lot but he's not 100% right and he doesn't have the whole national interest in mind. he looks at it from a very narrow public health point of view. >> i guess infighting has been a trademark since day one of this administration, but that is remarkable. >> yeah, it's absolutely remarkable to see someone on the sunday shows essentially trashing one of their colleagues, not one of their colleagues but one of the highly

respected scientists that we have in government, the top infectious disease expert in the entire government, someone who has worked in the government for more than 50 years and if you look at polling is seen as credible by a much larger portion of the american people than some of the politicians who he's been talking about including the president. putting out official statements trashing dr. fauci and saying he's had a long list of mistakes in the past, it shows sort of the chaos that this administration response has devolved into and shows even as the number of cases continue to surge they don't have a plan, if the plan is only to attack the top infectious disease expert and there is no actually plan of getting control of the disease and even getting control of the messaging and that's where we are as far as the virus and we're still seeing a record number of cases on a daily basis. >> he's president of the united states. if he truly believed dr. fauci was a problem, he could ask him to leave the government. if he believed the cdc as he

re-tweeted chuck woolery, stick with the doctors and not chuck woolery, are the cdc is in cahoots with the doctors and are all lying about the coronavirus to hurt the president. the history of the fauci relationship is well known, tamarah. let's listen to a bit of it. >> well, i think we're in a good place. >> we're facing a serious problem now. >> we're almost up to 40 million in testing, and 40 million people, which is unheard of. >> this is the thing that is had a little bit concerning. the well, we now have 37 million tests have been performed. the question is when you get on the phone and talk to the people in the community, there are still lapses there where the dots are not being connected. >> if you look at the chart of dt deaths, deaths are way down. >> it's a false narrative to take comfort in a lower rate of death. >> it's inexplicable sometimes even if you think the president doesn't want to read the brief and study the virus he is on the ballot. would you think for his own

political chances he would understand this better at this point. i went this better. the president said it's just testing, positivity rates like texas and florida right now. it's scary. >> yeah. there's been a disconnect between the president and the top scientists, and not just fauci. scientists all over the country who are not part of the government. it's an ongoing disconnect where the president wants things to be better than they are and seems to be trying to will them that way just by saying it which doesn't actually work, and the challenge that you see is that as long as the virus is raging, as long as parents are afraid to send their children to school, the economy can't fully recover. you know, you can't fix one without fixing the other. that's a major problem. >> and to that point, i want to sneak this in. we say speak with one voice. listen to the secretary of education and add miller giroir

here on the question every parent is asking. are my kids going back to school in a couple of months? >> i am urging all schools to open and to be providing their students a full-time education. we all acknowledge that that could and may well look different in a certain area that has a flare-up of the virus. >> when we get the virus more under control, then we can really think about how we put children back in the classroom. >> i get that this is almost an impossible question to answer because things change every day, but, again, there's just differences in the tone and the nuance between people who work for the same president. >> yeah, that's exactly right. obviously all americans want children to be in schools safely, but not having a plan to go back to the fact that the administration doesn't have a plan, we heard from administration officials on the sunday shows for several minutes, and there was no plan that was revealed about how the federal government is going to help students get back into

school safely at a time when virus cases are surging and in many parts of the country so there does seem to be lack of a broader plan because the talking points that, yes, students need to be back in school and the president saying that the cdc guidelines are too tough and not having new guidelines and not really knowing where the administration stands on its own guidelines. i think that that lack of clarity is only going to make it harder for students to feel safe going back to school. >> a question we'll try to answer as we go through the summer. appreciate your reporting. up next for us, it's official, the washington redskins are looking for a new name and a new logo. (gong rings) - this is joe.

proof today that activism matters and never doesn't always mean never. the nfl's washington redskins are changing the team name and the team's native american logo, a name and logo many found offensive, racist. here's the statement from the team. dan snyder and coach rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud tradition-rich franchise and inspire our spansors, fans and community for the next 100 years. the team took the name redskins

87 years ago. the new name will be revealed at a late f-date. let's bring in can'ta stallworth, a veteran wide receiver who played a season for the redskins. thanks for being here. this is not altruism, this is capitalism. dan snyder finally saying after seven years ago never, never would he change the name of the team. that's what he said seven years ago, fedex, pepsi, nike, bank of america among those staying you want our sponsorship, you've got to change the name. still progress? >> you know what, growing up i was a huge fan of the nfl. hi pictures all over my wall, posters all over the house and i was blessed to play in the nfl for ten years. i played for washington in 2011 and the thing i noticed initially about their team was they are extremely passionate fan base, and it wasn't until later that i -- that i learned that the team's original owner, george preston marshall, had -- was the last to integrate in the nfl and was essentially forced

to do so by the kennedy administration. they threatened to evict him from rfk stadium which was federal grounds, and, you know, when we start to learn about these things, it changes your mind about the team's direction and where they have been since the 87 years that marshall changed the name, and i know that his granddaughter, i read in "the washington post," that his granddaughter herself was even excited to see it go. she said it was past time for this to go. and like you said, this is definitely a case of altruism, it is more of a case of capitalism and as you noted daniel snyder said he would never, in all caps, never change the team's name, but financial pressure along with also i have to admit the financial pressure obviously coming from all the protests and this reckoning of racism that we've seen, you know, the last couple of months, that had a lot to do with it so to call it progress.

you called it capitalism as you duly noted. >> yet. this is why your insights are so important to us here as a former player and also as a black american had. you do have the black lives matter movement and the broader racial reckoning in the wake of the george floyd killing and everything else that's happening and maybe at least, dan snyder wasn't going to respond, but at least those corporations put pressure on mr. snyder and the team so to an activist who might be getting tired. saying the congress doesn't appear like they will get police reform done. what's the message to somebody to stay in the fight and maybe find somebody else to pressure and you might eventually get the attention that you need? >> yeah. i think that is -- i think this is the perfect case in point, that you point to, someone who was extremely hard on the facts that he would never change the name. he grew up, the owner daniel snyder, grew up a huge fan of the team and like i said the fan base has been extremely passionate so you have someone that -- that was a huge fan growing up and then purchased the team and so, of course,

naturally his instincts would be not to change it, but due to the protests which then subsequently followed the financial pressuring which we see today now that the redskins have come out and said that they will change the name, and it works. it eventually worked. it took, you know, a long time, and i do have to note i'd be remiss if i didn't note that since the civil rights era indigenous people have been fighting in protesting against caricatures or mascots of indigenous peoples, and this has been something that's gone on for far too long and they have also been ignored, and it is important to note that when you do essentially have these protests, there are power in numbers, and not just across america but all across the world people are protesting in mass gatherings with tens of thousand of people in each city, so i think that's important to -- towns that. you can move forward even if someone in daniel snyder's position who was saying that

they would never change a stance on a particular issue. they eventually did and it mounted. it came from financial pressure, but that financial pressure came from all the protests and the activism that people had done prior to that. >> persistence pays if you stay at it long enough. our guest dante stallworth, appreciate your insights on this important day. thanks so much, sir. >> thank you. boston today begins phase three of its reopening the mayor marty walsh joins us next. max n to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

boston begins a new coronavirus chapter today, cautiously. the city entering phase three of its reopening one week later than the rest of massachusetts, movie theaters, health clubs and outdoor venues and museums can open in the city of boston and low contact sports are okay click baseball and bowling alleys can now take customers. joining me now is mayor marty walsh. maybe we can go to morrissey boulevard and bowl, two dorchester kids just bowling. i'm making a joke here, and i assume as you look around the country and you see the numbers in florida and texas and south carolina, we can show you a graphic in arizona where the case count is just going up through the roof right now.

massachusetts has flattened a bit there. you have to be nervous here as you open the economy. what you're seeing around the country. what are your metrix and what are you going to watch most closely as you get a week or two into phase three? >> yeah, you're actually right. you know, since boston is large and densely populated in most cases, putting safety measures beyond the state. we're constantly in daily contact with our hospitals and looking at our infection rates. we were at 2% over the last couple of weeks of about 7,000 cases. we're watching those literally daily to see any trends that happen and moving forward here, you know, what's happening around the country is scary here as we talk about opening schools and as we talk about moving forward here. the virus, as everyone knows, is still very much here. boston and massachusetts, we've done a good jobs in some ways of corn tank the virus but we were hit pretty hard very early on so what we don't want to see is a reoccurrence of that >> you mentioned schools. this is a conversation every parent, myself included, is

having with their children, with the school and everything. i'm a proud graduate of the boston latin school. we were never three feet apart let alone six feet apart. what are you going to do? the governor said three feet might be okay with him. are you okay with that, or do you need more spacing in the schools and do you have the facilities and infrastructure to do it? >> when i think about schools it's about protecting our children and the teachers and staff and janitors and all the folks inside the school. we had a meeting last week, a couple hour long meeting last week and will have another one this week. we'll talking to the unions as well about their concerns that they have. you know, it's something that, you know, as we think about reopening, there's a couple of options on the table. one is just go fully remote like we have been, but that's -- that's a tough situation. if we have the opportunity, again, it goes back to the data, if we have the opportunity to reopen our schools in a potential phased approach, we'll look at that. all of it is on the table. you know, it's still early

enough in the summer to -- to have time to make decisions, but, unfortunately, when you talk about school districts, you're talking about bus routes and scheduling and start times and things like that, so right now it's actually the time that we have to make very hard decisions moving forward. >> and whether it's disputes between the president and dr. fauci about the value of testing our think more importantly when it comes to the school conversation, the cdc had its guidelines and then there was talk they would change the guidelines. the cdc says it won't. the president says they are too tough. when it comes to health, advice, expert advice and scientists, are you getting it from washington? >> no, it's unfortunate that the president has been wrong on everything he's put forth and flip-flops back and forth on different ways. what we need right now is leadership to be consistent. we are in a public health crisis. people have lost think lives and people are still getting sick. we're seeing it in a lot of different states and quite honestly i wish he would step aside and let the health experts make the decision. i'm basing the decisions on

science and data and listening to the experts. i'm not basing it on a whim or what i think is the right way to go. we've gotten criticism for not moving too fast or not moving fast enough, i should say, but at the ind. day most people understand and they come back to me, i've heard more than one time people are saying you were absolutely right from the very beginning in shutting everything down. you're very right in your cautious approach because their families impacted by covid-19 and i wish -- at least for a bit of time i wish the president and his administration would let the experts take the lead on this and let's follow what the experts say because they are generally right. >> well, how do you -- how do you handle it will when you have a disagreement or, you know, the governor has said you can do "x" and you said you need another week and you two have worked it out. in georgia the mayor tried to go back to phase one and the governor says you don't have the authority to do that in a spike there. when you and governor baker, who is a republican, not a trump republican, but a republican, when you're a little bit different, how do you work it out so that it doesn't spill into a public spat like we see

whether it's between the president and his team or the governor ant mayor in the case of atlanta in georgia? how do you do it? >> you have conversation. we're on the phone constantly talking. our people are talking to each other and we make a case either way. i mean, in this particular case it wasn't that hard. i talked to the governor about the population in boston and the amount of people living here, and you know this from growing up in dorchester. you know, we don't have six feet between some of our houses, never mind six feet on the streets, so he was -- he understood it and said absolutely and we moved forward. we've been working back and forth throughout the whole pandemic very closely together with our administrations and other mayors around the commonwealth so it's about having dialogue and conversation and not make it public. the mayor bottoms in atlanta is an incredible mayor and incredible leader, and a mayor will see a lot more trends a lot quicker than other people will because we live it day by day, is and i think that in some cases, i wish some of the governors around the country would listen to the mayors because they are probably the closest to the people, and they

see these trends happening quickly. mayor bottoms was talking about spikes three or four months ago on cnn, and she was talking about the concern in her city. it's come to fruition right now. >> adult conversation. what a concept. mr. mayor, appreciate your time today. best of like with everything as you go forward. >> thank you. >> take thank you, sir. >> up next, president trump finally wears a mask in public but many states are not mandating this practice which we know helps save lives. introducing new voltaren arthritis pain gel, the first and only full prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel available over-the-counter. new voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement.

president trump allowed himself to be photographed in a mask this weekend. it happened during a visit to troops visiting them at walter

reed medical center. it. comes in right there and it happened after urgent pleas from his political advisers. almost half the states are required to wear masks in public. louisiana joins that list tase. masks prevent spread of drives, powered and wearing one is a political issue for many and for weeks the president was saying they weren't necessary or maybe not all that helpful. what doesn't work in persuading someone to wear a mask? angela duckworth is the faculty for the change of behavior for good initiative. thanks for being with us today. if there's someone out there saying this is the government telling me what to do. i don't buy it. how do you persuade that person? a, it's common sense. it's good for you, and it's good for everyone around you. what works best? >> well, let's begin with what doesn't work but a lot of people are trying which is, you know, throwing people shade, looking at them in ways that are obviously trying to use shame, anger or righteousness to change the behavior of the non-mask wearer and i will say as a

behavioral scientist those things don't work. they might make you feel a little bit better, i'm seeing that the best thing that happening is mandates, ordinances. it works because it sends a clearer signal to everyone that has been said before when it was merely a suggestion or recommendation. >> it is a good point. does this work? it's a novel coronavirus and things new things all the time but we have data about how far does a cough travel. this is from physics of fluids. if you have no mask, what you cough up travels up to eight feet. if you have a bandanna, 3.6 feet. just that if you look at that, again, i don't want to getten

fe -- get infected or infect. no shame. just data. >> what i love about how you said that is you 'em themphasiz this is new research. human beings don't like to feel like hypocrites or be stupid. you need to give a narrative where they don't look like an idiot and saying emerging scientific research, we couldn't have known this before because the science is newly emerging. not everyone loves that feeling like of course we should have known it before but the pandemic is a, you know, unprecedented event and if you emphasize you should have known this then they're really unlikely to change their behavior. >> angela, appreciate your insights. i like the idea, data, no shame. >> no shame. >> thank you very much. new polls show president

virus the more likely to vote for the democrat joe biden. jeff zeleny is with us. let's look at the horse race, states -- florida you expect to be competitive. texas not usually competitive. that's a tie. arizona more and more because of the demographics, democrats say we have a chance. if you're president trump this is a wake-up call if you needed one that you're in trouble in traditionally red states. do you spend money in texas and turn texas blue? >> that is a great question. that's something that the biden campaign is grappling with seeing numbers like this in states across the country that have been red over the years and trending somewhat purple but still a longshot. georgia is one of those and a question of campaign of biden to tackle. how big will they go in trying to put some of these states into play? you will remember in 2016

hillary clinton was in arizona and put money there and lost and michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin along the way and the key is winning, not necessarily winning the states but this is a wake-up call for the trump campaign that they are in potential trouble in many of these republican states. these red states, john. >> it's never one issue but this does seem to be driven primarily by one issue being the coronavirus. take a look at this. efforts to contain the coronavirus in your state are -- going well or badly? arizona, 7 in 10. in florida, two thirds, 65% going badly. texas, 62%, more than 6 in 10 texans say badly. you could look at that and say, the president is the president. he is the incumbent. when people are mad, frustrated they want change. bad for him. >> no question. that is what is driving all of

this here. remember a couple months ago we talked about the politics of reopening? the president urging the republican governors in these states to move forward. they did and voters didn't like it because they're seeing the daily headlines, seeing living this in the daily lives trying to get testing. seeing the hospitalizations go up. this is the affect of the poll tucks of reopening and voters across the board are giant numbers that are two thirds and more of voters not saltisfied with the handling of the coronavirus linked directly back to the president as well as these republican governors, john. >> i know the trump campaign is right in terms of math saying we have a long way to go. more than 100 days and spent a lot of money on advertising and notn't be t not bent the numbers yet. the coronavirus is drowning out the message. >> especially among women

voters, senior voters and the issue they're worrying about. talking to trump campaign a advisers are alarmed. they say they will not vote for trump again because of the handling of coronavirus and other matters. it is certainly a worrisome seen in the states and other state that is fall into the categories, john. >> very different dynamic when you are then coup incumbent. jeff, thank you so much. >> sure. a welcome to the viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king in washington. thank you for sharing this day with us. this country on a dangerous curve. more than 59,000 new coronavirus cases in the last daily count. right there how many records were set just over the past week. here you see why. 35 states trending in the
