welcome to our viewers around the united states and around the world. president trump say it is country will be back to new normal and he insists his polls will rebound but the coronavirus reality when you look at the facts is far, far different. the case count on the way up in

39 of the 50 united states. that map a picture of national failure and a warning of potential crisis ahead. hospitalizations trending up. the death curve no longer trending down. in florida a new record for deaths in a single day, 156. the number of new deaths nationally on wednesday, 941. new coronavirus cases 66,000 adding now to what is a sum total 3.5 million cases here in the united states. the pandemic death toll here, now stands at 137,000. another staggering number, 1.3 million, how many more americans filed for unemployment benefits last week. the president sometimes say it is coronavirus numbers are fake and say it is polls are fake, as well. but his polls do show us right now that americans at this moment 110 days from the election appear to be ready for a change. more than 7 in 10 of you say the country is on the wrong track. more than 6 in 10 give the president failing grades on race relations and 6 in 10 say the president is failing the test of

this coronavirus crisis. part of that frustration is a lack of a consistent message from the president about your safety, about wearing a mask. last hour pennsylvania's democratic lieutenant governor says he doesn't get it. why is this part of the politics? >> the thing i find most dismaying is that we are arguing about masking. i don't know why it -- it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do about keeping businesses open, keeping each other safe and respecting the front line workers. the fact we argue about masking i don't understand that in the middle of a pandemic. >> 39 states heading in the wrong direction. that means the case count this week higher than last week. several states jump out at the hottest of the hotspots. texas, california, florida, arizona they have been in the trouble zone in recent days and again you go back to march and april. this is where you want to be, early may going up right here.

arizona appears to be flattening at the moment. the numbers in recent days better. let's hope so. this is california. texas is green. arizona is blue down here. but florida, texas and california still up here. 8,000 to 10,000 in the ballpark there or more. florida passing 12,000 cases a day there and if you look at this, just a sad number. this is the seven-day moving average of new deaths and california, texas, florida and arizona all heading up at the moment. more hospitalizations after more cases, more deaths, tend to follow that. in texas you look at the timeline and track it with the reopening. had the reopening back here. june 26th the governor said things are starting to spike up. ju july 3rd, a mask mandate in effect. you do see in the last few days that line flattening out. let's hope it stays that way. you watch it day-to-day and

average it out over seven days. uptick there. a challenge is the positivity rate. can you get the positivity rate down? stopping the community spread. you have the timeloon of the reopening and then the mask mandate. texas still above 15% with the tests coming back positive in the seven-day moving average. we'll see if that number is pushed down, critical. the map of texas by city and county, the color code tells you the deeper the red the highest of the case count and deaths in all of those places there. confirmed cases per 1,000 resident, corpus christi, red and pink. the mayor of corpus christi saying we have to get this under control. >> i think we let our guard down. the public did. and started going out a little bit too much. right now be patient. this is a good patience learning experience because i know patience are growing pretty thin for a lot of people and it is a

frustrating time because you're fighting an invisible battle or enemy and so it's -- we are doing the best we can. >> let's stay right there and talk to the county judge, the chief judge there. judge, thank you for your time today. let's just focus on your area. and what you are seeing, so texas starts to reopen. then the governor sees some alarming numbers and closes the bars and puts in a mask mandate r. you seeing any evidence that those measures are enough? are they helping? >> i feel like i'm an expert in my backyard, john. what we see here is everything bad. we have record number of hospitalizations. record number of positive cases. in fact, number one in the entire state of texas for our rate per capita on growth so we personally are not going in the right direction and the worst part for me is that every day is a sad day because we're also

number two in the state per capita on deaths. so where we were doing fantastic at the end of may, we have just absolutely skyrocketed after memorial day. >> and you mentioned memorial day. what is it? people deciding it is time to go to the beach, i've been at this for five months and done? is there any one thing or a number of things? >> i think it's a number of things. i think it's almost like a perfect storm and we know lots of storms here on the gulf coast. it was very much i want to get out, the beginning of summer, graduation time, reopening texas. and let's face it. everybody loves our gulf coast beaches, our greatest asset is our achilles heel and not the beach per se. it is the idea of putting tns of thousands of people in gatherings getting to and from the beach that was the problem. and this is something that we have cell data on, tickers on highways on and so it's

something that we can show to be true. >> i want you to listen to the governor here saying wear a mask and saying i don't want to shut the state down again. the economy is open. listen to the governor saying it should stay that way. >> people are panicking thinking i'm about to shut down texas again. the answer is, no. that is not the goal. what i want to do is make sure that everyone begins to wear a mask to get covid-19 under control and not have to shut texas back down. >> do you believe that that's realistic? do you believe if everybody listens to you and listens to the governor and wears a mask that you do not have to retreat if you will coming to the economic reopening or do you think that's inevitable? >> i think we need to let the data drive the decisions. that's something that the governor has always preached and i preach that right along with him. if the data doesn't show to do well then he'll have to make a decision based upon that data.

there's no question in my mind the mask order is incredibly helpful. we know this can be an airborne transmission and masks reduce that transmission and people were not wearing masks here so i think this is incredibly a good thing but what i'm concerned about is how we have -- we skyrocketed out of control. we have lost control here in nueces county and not able to have the resources to call back the positives. there's just so many. so we're having to be as proactive as we can to get control of the numbers, test as many people, try to isolate as many people and warn as many people. we tell everybody everyday stay informed because information is your friend at this moment. >> judge, gradeful for your time and insights. >> thank you. >> we wish you the best of luck across texas. thank you. appreciate your time. some breaking news related to the coronavirus. cvs pharmacy and target

requiring customers to wear masks. georgia governor banning cities from passing mask mandates. politics correspondent has this news. more companies saying you have to wear a mask in the store. >> reporter: that's right. rising covid cases around the country are forcing retailers to do something they initially did not want to do and implement these across the country, mandates to wear masks when entering their stores. this is because of the rising number of cases and the reluctance of these retailers to do it initially really is rooted in the fact that these companies did not want to wade into a political debate, masks have become so unnecessarily controversial. they were hesitant to do that. in addition, enforcing these mandates in the store has been complicated because employees have to essentially ask people

to put their masks on and led to some violence and unwelcomed encounters. cvs making the announcement today addressed it in the press release saying we are not asking our store employees to play the role of enforcing. what we are asking is that customers help protect themselves and those around them by listening to the experts and heeding the call to wear a face covering. target putting out several other steps the take like disposable masks for someone entering and signage to wear the masks inside. john? >> appreciate the news. corporate actors stepping in where sometimes governments won't. up next, president trump making a change at the top of the campaign staff as the poll numbers continue to slide. now, simparica trio simplifies protection.

bill stepien the new manager but the change at the top of the structure ignores problems for the campaign. americans think the problem is the president, not the team around him. the president says things will be better and soon but the 2020 election chances and the coronavirus fight, that's a far different assessment than the current polls. 110 days to go and right now overwhelming disapproval of the president's job performance. overall and on the coronavirus and race relations. wholing number of americans saying that the president is part of the problem and that the country on the wrong track. get to white house correspondent kaitlan come lens. the changing of the guard happened today at the campaign. does the president realize that it's not the campaign manager or maybe that might be a small piece of it but it's mostly him? >> reporter: the president may not realize it but people around him do and what they have been talking about because the writing seemed to be on the wall that some change was coming after the fallout from what happened at that rally in tulsa

but also what you saw was the president's reaction in this move to poll numbers. some have him down double digits to joe biden and has become an increasing concern for the president even though he is downplayed them and doesn't believe them and thinks they're inaccurate. this is a sign that he does and he is concerned. so he is trying to make some kind of a change and whether or not it changes anything going forward coming to his campaign strategy because, of course, donald trump is still the president and still going to be the candidate and what people around the president think is one of the biggest roadblocks is himself in this strategy over the last several weeks when not only the way he dealt with the coronavirus pandemic but race relations in the country and several other fights that he's picked they do not view as helpful on the road to re-election including this week's feud with dr. anthony fauci. the question of whether it changes anything remains to be seen and had a handover today. brad parscale passing the baton

essentially on to bill stepien and it is notable that brad parscale is not pushed out of the campaign entirely but senior adviser and going to be a much more diminished role than he had as campaign manager and still pretty intertwined with the family and the president doesn't like to push people out of the circle. he fears they'll say negative things about him and seems to be the case with brad parscale, as well. >> see how the dynamic plays out. demoted but still on board. kaitlan comllins, thank you for the reporting. the president shaking up the campaign staff. this is the electoral map of 2016. president trump lost the popular vote but won the electoral college. one of the reasons the president is in trouble is because we're in the middle of a pandemic and dominating people's lives right now. how's trump handling the coronavirus? this flipped. 6 in 10 americans disapprove of

how the president is handling. mistake in the graphic there. disapproval is high coming to the coronavirus. coming to race relations, as well. 51% for biden. 40% for trump. hillary clinton led in the national polls and what republicans are going to tell you. he's above 50, the democrats. that's where you want to be. president trump at 40. 11-point national gap and bigger in other polls and not a competitive race. doesn't moon it won't be but looking at the state polls and the context of this map, right, remember joe biden is biding in wisconsin. flipping that blue you see the numbers start to change. joe biden is leading in michigan. if he flips that, see the numbers flip. president trump above 270. 280. pennsylvania, flip that one, joe biden's president of the united states. if he flips just the three states and at the moment there are polls that show you the

democrats at least co democrats at least competitive if not leading in florida, north carolina, no one's telling you the race will be like that but if you're looking at something bleak like that. joining us is alex burns of "the new york times" and mj lee. alex, 110 days is a long time. we all lived through 2016. is a campaign manager change what the trump campaign needs or a campaign message change from the candidate himself what this campaign needs? >> john, in all the conversation over the last day about the changing campaign manager, a couple weeks ago in an interview with me and several colleagues, jared kushner made the point that the president is really his own campaign manager, said it on the record that the campaign like a custom suit to fit one man who at the end of the day runs a political operation and i think that is as true today as it's ever been.

may be some significant differences in organizational culture or the way that the campaign sbr acts with the republican party, i think folks on the hill that view bill stepien as a team player, so that's probably reassuring to them. but as far as the fundamentals of the race, 110 days is a while but it is not a very long time when the fundamentals of the campaign are as challenging as they are for incumbent president and when as kaitlan said the president, the candidate, is so resistant to change that might move his numbers in the right direction. >> it is a giant point you make, a very important point there. hard to change the direction of a campaign. hard to fight a pandemic when you have 39 states heading in the wrong direction. there's not a clear opening for the president to do that without the facts that americans deal with every day. mj, you are joe biden, national polls or the battleground state polls and you could not be

happier. however, as you well know, democrats have deja vu and like whoa. heading into a moment of huge decision, pick a running mate, a convention, decide -- needs to keep the bernie sanders and the liberal voters on board and get african-americans to turn out in november. you're happy to see the numbers and always a but. >> there is but you know, in the big picture if you listened to joe biden talk in the couple of weeks and talk to allies and people close to the campaign, they basically feel like donald trump is giving them political ammunition every single day and not a mistake in recent events we have heard joe biden specifically quote donald trump on thing that is he has said about the coronavirus, a big example being when president trump said he would like the administration to slow down covid-19 testing. that of course is not the advice that we have gotten from experts and public health officials and also joe biden is also pointing

to the actions and behavior of president trump, including his refusal for a long time to wear a mask in public and the decision for an indoor rally and basically feel like this is the kind of behavior and speech coming from their competition that is helping to write perfect attack ads for joe biden. the public is not with donald trump when it comes to the coronavirus. we know that recent polling has shown that his approval on the handling of the pandemic has been falling. we also know that he is in a precarious position coming to his positioning on the economy and just one point that i'll make about the economy is that if you rewind to maybe five months ago the one thing that the trump campaign really wanted to be able to count on was a robust economic message, that there were going to be some people saying, look, president trump is somebody who is saying unsavory things and i don't agree with him on everything but

the economy is working out fine for me. the trouble with the handling of the coronavirus pandemic is that there is no uncoupling and separating the coronavirus pandemic and the economy. so this is what should be the most troubling for the trump campaign aside from obviously the public health issues is that if the handling of the coronavirus pandemic is not good for the president that is bad news for the economy and that is just a world of bad news for the trump campaign. >> it would be bad news for republicans down ballot, too, where you says the president says the polls are fake and coronavirus is under control and allies say you have to stop. the poll is real and the virus is not under control. among the allies, kaitlan, editorial page of "wall street journal." writing this is a mess and republicans will be routed in november leaning into a culture war against experts won't win undecided voters. americans want a realistic assessment.

today president trump's proe opponents can depict the white house as resigned lacking direction and more eager to disparage medical authorities than rally them to immaterial plemt the administration. >> we say it's the president, it's the president doing this. people often point back to that, his own staff but you see how pervasive his thoughts can be in this argument with dr. fauci where you had the top trade adviser known to go rogue publishing an op-ed criticizing fauci and the white house press shop with a memo criticizing dr. fauci and it's because clearly something that the president himself has said and why officials feel comfortable doing it and does it really change anything coming to campaigning? and the strategy there. we have seen the concern from republicans and the thing to watch is if other republicans start to speak out against the president's response like we saw

the maryland governor republican do today in that op-ed criticizing the president and the question is does that then signal for other leaders to do similar? because there are concerns around republicans that they're too close to the president and in a state where people don't think he handled this well and going to hurt them potentially on the ballot in november. >> that's a great point to watch if the polls stay this bad, do republicans already don't see president in the republican ads anymore and then move away in other ways? thanks so much for the insights today. coming up, the cdc expected to unveil new guidance as the administration continues to push reopen schools in the fall. nellie young lost her devoted husband. without him, things were tough. her last option was to sell her home, but... her home meant everything to her. her husband had been a high school football coach and it turned out, one of his former players came up with an answer.

president trump and his education secretary say schools must reopen in the fall and told to expect new guidance from the cdc on that question. school reopenings as early as tomorrow. cdc official telling cnn two sets of supplemental guidance to be released. one tomorrow friday. and joining us is director of resolve to save lives. i want to start with this question of the cdc and school guidance but also in the context of what we seem to be seeing the white house pushing the agency in recent days.

there are some gouidelines. now we are told there's two new sets of guidelines coming and then we have learned that the administration tells states and hospitals send your data to a central washington database no longer to the cdc. does this worry you? >> it does. john, i want to be clear. the hospital data issue is a disaster and makes the mostly absent piecemeal federal response worse. the way to make americans safer is build on the health system and it's 20 years of work, progress and relationships and rather than strengthening that they hand the data to an unproven commercial entity. >> obviously school decisions are made at the local level for the most part and when you talk to mayors and governors and school administrators, they say they would like the scientists at the cdc with more information access than they do for guidelines that they can apply to the local situation.

what should the cdc be doing here in the question of school reopenings and what should it not be doing? >> cdc should be providing evidence-based guidance. there is so much information out there. cdc has the capability and expertise to consolidate that information and put out useful guidance, something they have done in the history and should now for schools so we should president-elect that from them and expect it to be released in a timely manner. >> this is happening at a terrible time and let's hope it is better but 39 states reporting higher cases this week than last week. 39 out of 50 states as the officials need to debate. what about august and september to go back to school? director of the cdc say there is a simple way to get the summer spike under control. >> if you look at it, the data's really clear. they work. you know? we are not defenseless against

this virus. >> and so, one of the challenges is for leaders to set examples. i want to show you pictures yesterday. the president in atlanta and the mayor of atlanta says city runs the airport and supposed to wear a mask here. the president gets off the plane and doesn't want to wear a mask. you don't have to everywhere but there he is in proximity, the republican governor of georgia, some others deciding i am wearing a mask. governor kemp takes his off and has been wearing a mask. would it be a better example if the president not every second or every event and every day would put a mask on more often to back up that message from dr. redfield? >> of course. the president is a role model for many and so if he demonstrates good behaviors more people are likely to follow that and mask wearing is a part of the critical strategy to control transmission so wearing a mask,

watching distance and washing your hands are important and modeling those behaviors more people would do i think. >> listen here to dr. anthony fauci, 39 states with higher cases this week than last week. the hospitalization rates and death rate trickling up sadly. listen to dr. fauci. >> i believe we need to almost push the reset button. >> put yourself back in the cdc. putt that hat back on. if you were involved a coronavirus task force meeting what does almost a total reset mean? >> i think we can't lose sight of the most important point. in the three minutes we are talking, 140 americans diagnosed with covid and 1 to 2 people will lose their life. this is unacceptable. we are among the worst-performing countries in the world. we do need to do things like

trust science, use data to inform decision making and a coordinated national response. it will benefit all americans no matter where they live, who they vote for and so i think we do need to take a look at where we are and it is not good and think about how do we change the strategy? the strategy isn't working or is absent. >> doctor, appreciate youren sights and your candor. thank you so much. up next, cases in india, hong kong, cracking down on so i believe -- social distancing. the global headlines in a minute. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

schools or bars or gyms and restaurants after 6:00 p.m. no longer allowed to have dining in. what officials try to do is change the public's behavior and detect and isolate as many cases as possible before the numbers of today blow up even bigger. will ripley, cnn, hong kong. >> reporter: here in india, india is just over 30,000 cases short of reaching a million con f firmed cases of covid-19. over 400 million people across 3 states in india have reentered lockdown conditions after witnessing a spike in covid-19 cases. on wednesday, more than 32,000 new infections were reported. this is the highest jump in daily numbers that india has seen. according to the ministry of health a third of the total cases of covid-19 are active. the western state, the southern

state and india's capital new delhi have reported the highest case load. india's death toll is nearing 25,000. cnn, new delhi. >> reporter: here in mexico city, domestic violence is a big issue and certainly didn't get any better during the height of the government-imposed lockdown from march largely through the end of may and spoke to a survivor who said just before the lockdown started she joined a chat room with survivors and said in the height of lockdown the messages in the group skyrocketed with women asking for help and the numbers do seem to back that up. if you look at the number of 911 ca calls that relate to domestic violence, that number jumped more than 44% as compared to the same time period last year. the government has been accused of not doing enough to solve

this problem. the president here has admitted that domestic violence is a problem but said actually in a may press conference that 90% of those 911 calls i just mentioned were fake. it was a startling thing to say when you consider the fact that from march through may an average of ten women per day were killed in mexico. matt rivers, cnn, mexico city. up next, virginia tries to set an example with workplace safety in the age of coronavirus. at university of phoenix, we know you're always there for them. that's why our advisors are always here for you. learn more at phoenix.edu.

of virginians that they're scared to go to work. we knew we had to do something. we have a lot of great businesses, great actors working hard to make sure that workers are safe but with the complaints in virginia not everyone is a good actor and that we had to come up with standards to make sure that these workplaces are workable in this time of covid-19. >> ofly some pushback from the business community. "washington post," the story says virginia adopts first in the nation coronavirus workplace safety and a small business group is mad that virginia's repeated ranking of a top business state evaporated and the economic row kyrie irving ri will be put in low gear. do you think that these restrictions so oppressive that businesses that if i run a small business in tennessee, same

business, i will have a benefit? >> no. these standards are really for businesses to do the right thing. we had the safety and health code board and they actually agreed to a 9-2 vote to move these standards forward and very important for workers. in virginia to keep the businesses open, for economic resiliency and to open up the businesses our workers had to be safe and want to come back to work and really encourage to move this economy forward that it is important to be safe in the work environments. >> walk me through enforcement. the provisions allow fines up to $130,000. i assume that's not the hope. the hope is to have an infraction to work it out before you get there but walk through enforcement if you get a legitimate complaint. >> yes. we had to do an emergency temporary standards to enforce and not just guidelines. we had to bring the standards forward and that's what's important. first any business that wants to

have the department of labor and industry, safety inspectors to do consulting, we would love that to work hand in hand with the businesses. the fines based off of how many employees are affected, what is the level of concern? have we said you shouldn't do that and you continue to do the wrong thing for your workers? then that's a level of fines. ultimately if our workers are in grave condition, eminent danger, we can close a business. >> megan healy, we'll keep in touch as this experiment plays out. everything done in this environment makes somebody mad and see how it plays out and if the workers stay safe. we wish you the best of luck. >> thank you. very prominent names in a twitter hack. yes. neutrogena® ultra sheer. superior protection helps prevent early skin aging and skin cancer with a clean feel. it's the one. the best for your skin.

itself. but yesterday we saw multiple twitter accounts from some of the world's high profile people attacked and right now we don't know a lot about what actually happened. twitter has serious questions to answer here. they have to tell us if other accounts are hacked we don't know about yet and what sort of access they had. were they able to see private messages, for instance? also, if, you know, how this attack was done and who was responsible for it. twitter put out a statement last night saying that they're investigating with the fbi and they said this. we detected what we believe to be a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some employees with access to internal systems and tools. they used access to control many of the highly visible and verified accounts and tweet on their behalf. that means that obama's account, bill gates account, joe biden not hacked individually. somebody hacked a twitter employee or in some ways convinced the twitter employee

is just a beginning i think of a very troubling story for twitter. john? >> we'll circle back when you know more. thanks for spending your time with us today. busy news day. brianna keilar picks up the news coverage right now. have a great day. i'm brianna keilar and welcome viewers here in the united states and around the world. as the u.s. nears 3.5 million covid-19 cases, new troubling signs. two states show declines in new infections. hospitalizations are hitting records in 16 states and 14 states are showing an increase this deaths. some officials in texas and arizona two of the states with the most new cases on wednesday are now bringing in refridge rated trucks in hard-hit counties as local morgues hit capacity. in florida, there are n
