excited to have you on and excited for everybody to see it. great to see you guys. thanks to you both. be sure to watch "on the trail: inside the 2020 primaries" streaming on hbo max tomorrow. thanks for joining us, everybody. i'm kate bolduan. cnn coverage begins now with john king. >> thank you, kate. hello, everybody. i'm john king in washington. thank you for sharing this day with us. vivid proof of the last of the coronavirus disruption. cnn just learned joe biden accepting the democratic nomination in delaware, home state, and not travel to the convention city, milwaukee. the change, the same day president trump told us he might give his convention speech from the white house. we learned that as the president spent part of his morning chatting with friends. "fox & friends" to precise to hear assessment of the coronavirus very much at odds with the facts.

despite the fact the president made a very rare appearance yesterday at a meeting of his coronavirus experts, and we heard the president again sow doubt about the ability to hold an election in the middle of a pandemic suggesting we might not know the presidential winner for a very, very long time. >> you're not going to know the november election results. talking for the country. it could be for months and months. i mean, actually, could be for years. >> now, the president supporters call such remarks harmless hyperbole. critics hear things like that and worry he is laying the groundwork to ignore the results if he loses. casting in county votes much easier, of course, if the coronavirus is under control. the experts on the white house task force concede it is not at this moment. listen to the president. he disagrees. >> it's coming down. some states are going up a little bit, but they will very shortly, they're under control. they'll be coming down. my view is theal skew aschools

open. this thing will go away. it will go away like things go away. >> there are hopeful signs in the numbers but it's far too soon to say the virus is "going away" as you just heard the president promise. 57,000 plus new cases added to the count tuesday. that reverses a weekend dip below the 50,000 threshold. deaths remain on the rise. 1,399 tuesday. the second high left daily death toll of the summer. seven day average of new cases down 9% from this time last week. the question, whether new spikes are just ahead. this map highlights that challenge. the positivity rate. percentage of positive tests climbing. you see the states in red climbing in 33 of the 50 states. this week. the republican governor of massachusetts is warning he may have to roll back the commonwealth reopening if the cases there keep climbing. the republican governor of maryland, just helped create a consortium of states to work around the national testing failures. and the republican governor of

mississippi just issued a mask mandate to fight the covid spike. listen to the president this morning in his own words proving his disconnect from the coronavirus reality. >> the democrats are standing in our way. they don't want the states open, even if the state is in good shape. you know, much of the country is really good shape. we see the red spots and we have them in red. the covid areas, but the country's in very good shape and we're set to rock 'n' roll. >> the country is in better shape but republican governors like their democratic counterparts are nervous about some of the signs. take a look at the map. when you look at this map, this is the most encouraging map i've been able to show you in quite some time. five states heading up meaning more cases this week than last. the states in orange. to the west, to new england. maine, massachusetts there. only five states heading up. you see hawaii also heading up down there. five going up. 27, the yellow or beige holding

steady. 18 states going down including florida, including arizona. key drivers of the summer surge. a much more encouraging map compared to just two weeks ago standing here two weeks ago i told you 26 states in red including big texas heading up 20 holding steady. this -- is an improvement. where we are today is an improvement. also we know from the last six months, deaths lag cases. even as the case count map improves the map of new deaths depressing. 22 states up, 17 holding steady, and eventually this will change. death map a struggle at the moment when you look at it. top five states, california, florida, texas, new york and georgia. new york number one a very long time. during the summer surge that these big three, texas, florida, and california passed it in case counts. more than 500,000. these two states, on a path to 500,000. now if you look at florida, the president says things are getting better. reez he's right to a degree if you look at certain states.

seven day moving average in florida starting to go down. the question, can you continue this during the week and carry it into another week? you see florida heading down from above 10,000 cases routinely. now down below. can you keep momentum going? this is the challenge there. but big state going down, some of the smaller states starting to go back up. mentioned massachusetts. mississippi as well. seven day average bumps up. the question you starting to come down? watch mississippi. why the governor says wear your mask. mandating it to try to push the number down. all of this plays out as some states start to go back to school. others making decisions about going back to school. these five states, see them on the map, south carolina, florida, texas, missouri and iowa, requiring you to go to school at least full or part-time, meaning students back in the class raoroom. requirement in these states. look here. some cities, some districts, some states, already back in school. in indiana, tennessee, mississippi and georgia, all back to school already. all very quickly developing covid cases among students,

among teachers, among janitors and others in those schools. listen to a teacher. gwinnett, georgia, saying, yes, coming back to school and, yes, i'm nervous. >> we were notified yesterday that the county is going to proceed with starting to allow kindergarten students and first grade students back in to the building august 26th. i have asthma. my 2-year-old son is showing indications he as well as asthma,ened i'm worried, even bringing in just kindergarten and first grade students. that's a very large population at my school. >> cnn diane gallagher joins us from atlanta. tough for the teachers, tough for parents. uncertainty adds toughness to the dilemma. it's a big one. >> reporter: it is. it is kind of a bad choice on all sides here when you consider what teachers, parents,

districts are weighing. these options. i can tell you that just north here in georgia, they started back in-person on monday in school, and you see in some of these pictures, most of the kids wearing masks. at this elementary school not required to wear a mask because there's no mask mandate in the state of georgia, but they're encouraging them to when they can't social distance. a lot of the kids don't seem to be socially distancing. a second grader, we don't know what that classroom, if it's in any of these pictures but second grade student tested positive at school on monday the first day. now all 20 of the second grade students in that class and the teacher have to go home and quarantine for 14 days. now, right now that teacher isn't showing any symptoms. that teacher will continue teaching virtually from home. but this is the challenge that these schools that are coming back in-person are trying and

figuring out what they're facing here. there was another school district where before school began they sent letters out to let them know the football team, practicing before school started had multiple positive cases as well. and then you have the districts that aren't going back in-person yet but grappling with positive cases in their employees. the largest school district, gwinnett county public schools, they start back school virtually next week. currently, right now, they have roughly 260 employees who have either tested positive for or been exposed to covid-19. so they can't work. now, most of those teachers may be teaching from inside their classrooms, even though the students aren't going to be there to begin with. john, we're seeing all sorts of different scenarios throughout the state of georgia on how these districts are approaching educating during a pandemic, and at each avenue they choose, we're seeing road blocks because

of these positive cases, and parents aren't sure how to plan. teachers don't know how to plan, and districts aren't sure if they've made the right choice. >> well, this is a conversation around the country within the state of georgia, within these different school districts and we'll continue with diane gallagher. appreciate the latest update and stay on top of this. and insights, seen jer scholar from john hopkins, doctor, thank you for being with us. a conversation happening in every family in america. every parent in america trying to figure out what's going to happen. do i like the advice i get from my school board? accept the decision they've made? we had the conversation. start with the president who says open the schools, because -- there's no problem? >> if you look at children, children are almost -- i would almost say definitely, but almost immune from this disease. so few. they've got stronger, hard to believe, i don't know how you feel about it, but they're much stronger immune systems than we

do somehow from this and they do it and they don't have the a problem. they just don't have a problem. >> is that true? >> no, it's not true. there's a lot of inaccuracies in there. while it is true children tend to be spared from the more severe consequences it's not because they're not getting infected or the virus isn't isn't their nose. it's a mystery why children relatively are spared but not something we can completely count on and have to think what's going on in the community as a whole beco. if they don't have the virus under control it will find its way into schools and into vulnerable populations. you have to be very careful opening a school making sure the community has the outbreak under control. some places do, some places don't. those schools in places that don't will be severely disrupted with cases occurring amongst their population. >> and so as we had conversations weeks ago about reopening, 50 states, 50 plans. you have 13,000 school districts across the united states of america. talking public school districts there.

13,000 school districts. 50 million students. an intensely local decision and intensely local dilemma for families, but for you as a public health professional, what is the one biggest factor any school district should look at deciding to bring children back into the classroom? >> have you come up with a plan to deal with the inevitable cases you're going to get? when you have exposures, have teachers sick, when you have cases occurring in classrooms. a robust plan to deal with that? this will be a reality for every school district, even if you have it under control because of so much virus in the community and nation as a whole, you have to take action and don't want parents worried, teachers and teachers unions worried about safety of their members. this going to be something that is the new normal for school. i think it's a priority we open schools. find a way to do it safely following cdc guidelines looking at clear metrics to do so. but it is going to be something very challenging and not something we've seen since probably 1918. >> how much of a factor is testing in all of that?

i said top of the program, 33 states with a higher positivity rate this week than last. a public health professional, governors, mayors you're on alert. you have a problem. maybe not terrible. show you a map here in 30 states, nastates testing less in this week than last. does that trouble you? children start to go back to school, many states try to oui keep reopenings going, they're testing less? >> definitely troubles me. the only way to tell somebody is infected or not. that's going to be almost like a green and red light that schools and other organizations are going to use as they move through this. if we have test results that are coming back for seven to eight days basically they're worthless. we want testing seamless to use that as a way to guide actions and do contact tracing so people know what they can and can't do. if you can't test, testing going down in certain places as we increase social interaction, it's not a good recipe. not a way that we're going to

move forward with this pandemic. >> it is not. doctor, as always, sir, appreciate and grateful for your insights and time today. thank you. >> thank you. up next for us, president trump issues a new warning about mail-in voting along with a new complaint about the debate schedule. ♪ come on in, we're open. ♪ all we do is hand you the bag. simple. done. we adapt and we change. you know, you just figure it out. we've just been finding a way to keep on pushing. ♪

today president trump saying it could be "months or years" before the election result is determined. blaming mail-in voting from states like nevada, republicans are suing sending mail-in ballots to voters this september. florida has a "great republican governor." the president may not like all of this early mail-in voting but knows he can't stop it. so he wants to move up the presidential debates. >> we should have the debates. one problem i have, the's very late. end of september and a lot of ballots will already be cast by that time. they want to make the debates as late as possible, why are they

putting first debates so late? at least before the first ballot go out and have a almost a month later. it's ridiculous. >> let's discuss this and more. particular the "washington post" and our cnn reporter. and arlette, start with you. back to the debate in a moment. heard the president saying already i'm not going to charlotte for my convention and may deliver my acceptance speech from the south lawn of the white house. now we know former vice president joe biden will not travel to milwaukee. why? >> right, john. we've learned today joe biden won't travel to milwaukee to accept the democratic nomination in person. instead he will be delivering that speech in delaware and this is due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. the democratic national committee and biden campaign say they are listening to the advice and warnings from health officials regarding coronavirus in that state right now, and they have decided to move that

speech away from wisconsin to his home state of delaware. the vice presidential pick, when she is named, she will also be speaking from a different location, and you've had biden repeatedly say he was hoping to deliver that speech in person, accept the nomination in person in wisconsin, but that ultimately they would be listening to the advice from health officials and health experts in that state, and now they have concluded that concerns about the spread of the virus are too great to have that speech be held in person. now, democrats already significantly scaled back their convention plans. early on they started shifting to this more virtual model. you know, they had passed rules so that delegates could vote remotely instead of in person, but this is the latest change we've seen to this convention on both democratic and republican side due to the coronavirus pandemic.

>> and in total seen sites for the debates change bad because concern at the campuses. to the president's point, a great number of states, some states vote in four, four and a half weeks. he has a point. whether you you agree with him politically, if they keep the current essential schedule, a lot of american will have already voted. you can't get that back. >> yeah. and the truth is a lot of americans have already made up their minds. few americans who are sort of on the fence now. we expect these debates to have high viewership. a lot of people waiting to see joe biden on the debate stage with donald trump. see how the two men both in their mid to late 70s stack up against one another, but i think because these debates were set in the timeline set months ago, years ago, even before the pandemic, it's hard to see them moving it at this point. they, the two camps do not agree

on very much. i doubt they'll agree even on the moderator. trying to change the debate timeline and change the dates would be a tall task. even if president trump 1e9d sa wants to move them up. a large percentage of the american public, it's true, will cast their votes before these debates early because all of people are ready to have their say in the election and the ballots going out in a matter of weeks. >> we see how competitive the battlefield is, tilting to joe biden. a $208 million ad spending reserved time for that. change it going forward. look at the map where they're spending. mostly your traditional battlegrounds. you see iowa. spending money in iowa. which is a state that trump won last time. a state leaning red but a brand new poll in monmouth, a statistical dead heat. this is a reminder that the map at the moment is tilted in joe

biden's favor and because of the pandemic, everything is hard for the president. >> yeah. that's right. the biden campaign is really trying to take advantage of the competitive state in a lot of these states right now. you know, they've described their new ad, $280 million ad, a strategy of offense. they are running these -- plan to be running these ads in 15 states across the country. your traditional battleground states and also going into states like iowa and texas really trying to focus on those competitive races there they could potentially have heading into the general election. you know, one thing that biden has consistently over the past few months really, has tried to do, draw the contrast with the president when it comes to character and when it comes to leadership. something they plan 20 do in their advertisements. draw that contrast with the president on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and how president biden if he were

elected the health care crisis and a lot of ads feature joe biden speaking using his own words direct to camera as they try to once again reinforce this message they think he would provide a different type of leadership to the president. >> arlette, appreciate you coming on this important day. we'll continue the conversation as we go. let's continue the conversation about main-in voting by someone who oversees it for a living. washington secretary of state on the ballot in november as well. madam secretary, thanks for being with us. you held your primary yesterday. you have a democratic governor. you're a republican secretary of state. we hear the president say, well, florida, it's okay in florida. because they have a republican governor and have had a republican governor before that. does the party of the governor or party of the secretary of state, should it have anything at all to do with the effective news, integrity of mail-in voting? >> it shouldn't. we have got to stop politicizing

election administration. so important to inspire confidence in our voters. every time we undermine people's faith in the system, it undermyrons the credibility of the election results. >> so today as part of the stimulus negotiations up on capitol hill democrats bringing the postal service in to the meetings trying to get the white house to agree to more money. does the united states postal service, are they ready to do this on a national scale? done it in washington state some time and good at it, proven it has integrity, increases participation and should be a modeled for other states. do you think the postal service has stress and strain as now we go into 50 states doing more mail-in voting? >> i don't think it's the volume of mail that the states will put in the system from vote by mail that will be a problem for the us ps. it's a resource issue. they need to be able to have staffing and capacity and throughput they normally have. cut that overtime or reduce the routes they run, it's going to have a ripple effect on ballot

delivery and ballot return. it's really important that the usps has capacity to contact the election, you know -- deliver the ballots on our behalf. >> you mentioned at the top, nice to take the politics out of this, because we are in the middle of a pandemic and our elections are the most sacred thing we have. we're going to do it this way. listen to the president's take trying to make a distinction between traditional absentee voting and a new push for more mail-in voting. >> absentee is okay because you have to go through a process, brian, and you go through a process and you make a request and they send it to you and you get it and you fill it out and it's a process and it's a smaller number. but then blanket to the state anybody that ever walked, frankly, would get one. >> you've invited the president and attorney general to take a peek how you do it. explain why that is just not right? >> well, if i'm an election administrator point of view, both by mail elections and

absentee elections have the exact same mechanics. do the same processing. verifying voters in the same way, checking their signature on the return envelope. mechanically there's really no difference. it's a subtle difference and nigh au nuance politically. absentee ballot requires the voter to do something. request to receive that ballot by mail pap vote by mail election is government sending a ballot preemptively to every eligible voter. a subtle difference. that's what the president is really trying to focus in on and divide people's opinion on it. >> i appreciate your time today. madam secretary. we'll have you back as we get through this, because i was going to show diring the segment. show it now how washington state does this. eligible ballots, put security sleeves in a way to inspire confidence at a time others say you can't trust it. we'll continue the conversation as we get between now and november and actually september when people start voting.

thanks for your time, madam secretary. appreciate it. >> thank you. up next for us, how much one possible coronavirus vaccine may cost, if and when it hits the market. r dishwasher doesn't get everything clean. i tell them, it may be your detergent... that's why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum... ...with the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. for sparkling-clean dishes, the first time. cascade platinum.

white house on a coronavirus stimulus package. mark meadows says the price tag is one stumbling block. the donkey or elephant in the room. speaker pelosi calls that number a beautiful swan. either way, sources say the top democrats in the white house negotiators, they're still not close to deal even as they narrow differences. how much of a stimulus does the country need? joining us, federal reserve bank of dallas, robert kaplan. thank you so much for being with us. what's the number in your view? how much stimulus does the united states economy need to keep it from tipping back into recession? >> i probably wouldn't speculate on a number. what i'd tell you, we do need -- i believe the economy needs a continuation of unemployment benefits. may not need to be in the same form as it currently is but we need a continuation when you've got 17 million out of work and another several million who are working part time and would like to work full time and need some

income support. and then the second part is aid to state and local governments needing to cut back because of a fiscal hole and have to balance budgets and we're looking to them to help get schools back reopened and to do a number of things in their local economies. so those would be two items that i would mention. what the actual number is i'll leave to the elected and appointed officials. we're going to rebound and we are rebounding in terms of growth in the third quarter. the question is, how fast? and a lot of that is going to depend on how well we manage the virus. >> it's a great plan. i just want to show the graphic, because you do this for a living. i covered labor issues when i first came to washington. look at the gdp from last quarter, makes your jaw drop. sue the drop in bottom. historic in the last quarter. stunning. the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the american economy. you mentioned it is coming back. you're in dallas.

one of the states that reopened earlier. listen to the president's agencies assessments. he thinks good numbers by end of week and views it as a launch pad. >> last two months set a record on job numbers and now another big job number on friday. interesting to see what that is. but we're heading definitely a v. >> by a v the president means go down and then shoot up. do you see that, sers? or more of a bump or stepped approach? >> i've forecast all along. close to a 35% annualized contraction in the second quarter. which included a rebound in part of may and june, and the so we, we've been expecting a 20% annualized growth in the third quarter. and now that sounds like big numbers, but when you look at the hole we're climbing out of, even with that kind of growth in the third quarter and healthy growth in the fourth quarter, we'll still contract this year

in the united states by 5%, and so when you've got this big of decline you'd expect a rapid recovery. issue with resurgence and the virus is it slowed down or is somewhat muted the recovery we've expected. the better, again, we manage the virus, the better we'll recover, but people should expect, we're going to grow in the third quarter. going to grow in the fourth quarter. the issue is how fast. and a lot of that depends on the path of the virus. >> that last point is critical, because depends on the path of the virus whether we'll have a full reopening or whether we'll see in parts of the country fits and starts. because the case count versus spike or hospitalizations rates spiking under stress. your counterpart in indianapolis. live to this. i'll ask if you agree on the other side. >> our ability to control the virus either through clamping back down getting the case count down so we can test and trace and keep this thing under control, or eventually getting a

vaccine or a robust therapy. that's the only way we're really going to have a real robust economic recovery. otherwise we'll have flare-ups, lockdowns, and a very halting recovery with many more job losses and many more bankruptcies for an extended period of time, unfortunately. >> do you think that will be necessary, and in large pieces of kincountries, roll back, at least a pause if you don't roll back or are we at a point to navigate this safely, as long as people are careful? >> in certain locations, if the virus starts to threaten to overwhelm the health care systems, i could see where we would need to roll back. but those -- those would hopefully be isolated. even with a rollback like that, when you reopen, you still have to have widespread mask-wearing as well as testing and contact tracing. so what i've said consistently. we're going to have to learn to live with this virus. and what does that mean?

if we had widespread wearing of masks, which i think have been uneven so far, most epidemiologists i talk to think we would substantially mute the transmission of this disease over the next four to eight weeks. i don't think there's any getting around the fact we have to follow the health care protocols and while there may be isolated places where you have to phase back reopenings, or slow them down, and i think that will be necessary, you're doing that in order to make sure that as you come out you're managing the disease. we have to learn to manage this disease, not just through end of the year. i would guess through a good part of 2021. epidemiologists i've talked to suggest we can do it and re-engage in a bros ranad range activities but it will take widespread wearing of masksability i emphasize that protocol at critical to growth

in the economy. >> i think you're right and smart to blend economics with the public health advice going forward. mr. kaplan, appreciate your insight. keeping in touch as we go through all of this moving forward. grateful for your time. thank you. millions of americans now working several jobs in the new economy. joining us, seeing how it all works and in some cases how it doesn't. all new episode "american shades of america." up next, the president is bullish. will he meet his goals? an army family who is always at the ready. so when they got a little surprise... two!? ...they didn't panic. they got a bigger car for their soon-to-be-bigger family. after shopping around for insurance, they called usaa - who helped find the right coverage for them and even some much-needed savings. that was the easy part. usaa insurance is made the way liz and mike need it- easy.

the trump administration announcing a deal with a potential supplier. the $1 billion agreement with johnson & johnson for 100 million doses of its candidate. one of a handful of companies working with the "operation warp speed" vaccine project. another company, moderna, promising indefendanters its candidate would are affordable if successful. when can we expect that vaccine or any to be available? listen to the president. he's quite bullish. >> vaccines and therapeutics are coming along incredibly well. i've streamlined the process. this would have taken three, four years to be where we are now and we're going to have one, i believe, long before the end of the year. >> cnn senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen joins us with more. we're in august, long before end of the year would be relatively soon. is he close? >> not according to head of operation "warp speed." he is the guy who's in charge of

this effort, and days ago told me he thinks the first batch of doses will be available in december of this year. not long before end of the year but the last month of the year, or maybe even january of next year. saying those doses would be for people who are high risk. elderly, people with underlying medical conditions. he said he is optimistic the rest of the country will be vaccinated by end of next year. by end of 2021. he said, ideally, middle of 2021, but he said more realistically end of 2021. trump's own person is disagreeing with him here. not long before the end of next year. hard to keep track. so many companies are working on covid-19 vaccines a good thing. take a look where all of them are at. talking now, john, about phase three studies. that's the final round of studies before the government reviews the data and decides whether or not to put it on the market. moderna and pfizer currently as we speak in phase three trials

and this month astrazeneca is expected to start their phase threes in september. novavax and johnson & johnson and glaxosmithkline start phase three by end of this year and two more unnamed companies getting "operation warp speed" funding according to dr. slowey. moderna talked a price point for their vaccine. between $32 and $37 per dose. one of their executives had this to say. we are working with governments around the world and others to ensure the vaccine is accessible regardless of ability to pay and we will be responsible on price during the pandemic. but it begs the question, john, if the government's taxpayers, you and me, spending billions to fund the efforts, why are we paying for the doses? shouldn't that be a part of the deal to begin with? john? >> excellent question. and we will continue that

candidates. squad member, reseda tlaib back in detroit. biggest example out of st. louis, 44-year-old kori bush upset william lacy clay. clay himself a ten-term congressman and part of a missouri political dynasty and endorsement from the democratic house speaker. co cori bush will appear on the ballot. >> with my brother recently up in new york, it's just saying, look, out of, you know, do some things differently. because the old ways of doing things, you know, let's retire that and let's start making sure that our deceased districts are taken care of and the people are being, that the goals are being met. >> talk about the significance of this. from the "new york times," i want to listen to more from cori bush. listen to her, out with the old. part of the generational push among younger especially progressive and diverse democratic candidates saying, we

want our chance. we think some of the old ways aren't working. also asked, will you work hard for joe biden come november? despite his past record on criminal justice reform. she said this -- >> we can't continue with donald trump. we cannot live under a trump administration. so we can disagree on an issue but that won't stop me from fighting for to have a democrat in the seat. >> i took that as significant and interested in your take, because as we watch some of these younger candidates and more importantly watched the protests around the country, there has been a question of with all of this energy and all of this activism, would they vote for joe biden, would they work for joe biden not just vote for him, push and help and organize? given on some issues there are disagreements? >> yeah. i think what we saw there from cori bush basically the party line from the progressive wing that no matter what their disagreements are with joe biden they think that alternative is muff better than donald trump. seeing tells allow for kind of big tent right now.

where you can have progressives pushing speaker pelosi, pushing joe biden but at the same time not trying to give space and openings to donald trump. i think that's a kind of growth point for the progressive movement from four years ago to now. not scoring points within the party seeing a broader context and build out a movement from there. >> and won in st. louis against a family dynasty. that was one of the big questions kimming into this primary season. could the younger progress ish democrats continue the mow meant um? aoc, rashida tlaib. not winning everywhere but pretty good? >> bernie sanders, elizabeth warren fall short in the primary. for some folks that's a signal maybe that energy was only 2018-specific. that joe biden reeling back democrats to a purely ideological moderate lens. that's not what we can see

seeing the last three, four months. bowman and cori bush also marie newman in illinois, montel jones in new york. people open progressives who have been able to make that victory i say particularly successful with black candidates with people of color performing well. they've been able to trace this line ideological change for progressives and representational change and bringing in a newer, young are, more diverse crowd. >> seth herman, appreciate your insights. see ow joe biden navigates talking with, working with, this younger generation. thanks so much. up next, testifies on capitol hill and the president calls her a leaker. 25 years, home instead has helped seniors stay home. now, staying home isn't just staying in the place they love. it's staying safe. home instead. to us, it's personal.
