11:02 am
wall. the trump campaign feels he can do that. as we join you for the rally coming up a little later today at 5:00 pm, there is still some concern among many in the biden camp despite the polling which shows him up by 7 on average in the real are politics average, it is similar to what happened in 2016, some bullshit hillary clinton up by 11 on this date and donald trump ultimately won the state. we do know this. as they continue to look at the numbers, there are concerns about the former vice president's support for nafta. they want to make sure that's not a hindrance to his victory. donald trump had been an awful long time since the republican won the great state of michigan. you mentioned law enforcement, it resonated in michigan and this county along the manufacturing and trade.
11:03 am
i mentioned nafta briefly, joe biden's support for nafta is something people are talking about, the president will mention that in his report tonight. at 5:00 i will be here. a little brisk, not a bad night for this time of year. back to you. eric: we will have full coverage later today. arthel: team biden making a hard push to mobilize support is telling them in a memo that the race is a lot closer than most people thing, the former vice president is not on the road today but he did address one of his hallmark campaign promises at an event in michigan yesterday. >> no one who make less than $400 a year will pay it anymore. big corporations and the very wealthy will pay their fair share for a change. arthel: mark meredith is in wilmington with more.
11:04 am
>> reporter: joe biden is not holding a public campaign event today, but the last several days in key battleground states, florida, pennsylvania and michigan. talking about the former vice president outside detroit last night telling supporters he is ready to energize american manufacturing specifically the auto industry. >> we will build a network of 500,000 charging stations across the country, offered consumer rebates, fuel initiative and vehicles for new american-made models. >> reporter: the message may work in michigan where real clear politics average shows biden ahead by 7 points. the campaign says it is expected to be a closer race. we've been hearing that the last few days and a campaign double down on that message to campaign manager for biden writing, quote, the reality is this race is closer than the punditry we are seeing on twitter and on tv would suggest. meantime biden continues to face questions what he will do with
11:05 am
the supreme court if efforts from senate democrats to add additional justices. he told a local news crew in michigan last night and answer is coming soon. >> i will make clear my position the next several days when they vote on this nominee but not to keep the focus on that. >> reporter: biden's running mate kamala harris criticizes republicans on the senate judiciary committee which she serves, for moving forward to this nominee, she participated virtually. she will be holding a virtual fundraiser today. he had to cancel some of those imprisoned events because two people around her tested positive for coronavirus. she has just negative. the senate will be back out on the campaign trail for in person events starting monday, making two stops in florida, orlando and jacksonville. arthel: thank you. eric: fox news has obtained four
11:06 am
purported emails, the unconfirmed new york post report on vice president biden's son hunter. this is about hunter biden's business dealings in ukraine and reportedly recovered from a damaged laptop. one of them it is alleged shows hunter was pursuing a business deal with the chinese energy company at one point. the former vice president yesterday blasted allegations of any possible wrongdoing by his son has, quote, another smear campaign. lucas tomlinson has more in washington. >> reporter: republican senator ron johnson has written the fbi director demanding answers about that laptop literally containing hunter biden's emails and wants to know if the russians are involved, this morning the white house press secretary kaylee making any blasted twitter and facebook for blocking access to the new york post article. >> this is what happened in north korea, in china, in iran,
11:07 am
they censor voices, they censor news organizations. it shouldn't happen in the united states of america. >> reporter: not all democrats agree. >> i'm not here to defend all the decisions made by all the social media companies but i hope we all agree we also don't want a social media company to become viral engines for lies and disinformation. >> reporter: in 2014 hunter biden was struggling with drug addiction, making an overture with ukrainian energy company more enticing, used his influence as the vice president's son. rudy giuliani says he obtained emails from that abandoned laptop in delaware, giving the blind owner of the repair shop emails from 2017 after biden left the white house, came from a chinese company, quote, held by the big guy, something -- the biden campaign says no money was sent to the former vice
11:08 am
president from the company. the panel vote subpoenaed twitter ceo jack dorsey and other tech giants from facebook and google to appear before the judiciary committee friday. the ceo admitted he was wrong, quote, straight blocking of urls was wrong. we updated policy enforcement to fix our goals and add context and we have the capabilities to do that. >> it has been going on for years was they declared open war on the republican party and conservatives across america. winter is coming. >> reporter: senator johnson with the fbi director to provide answers. arthel: for more, a politics editor for the national journal, let me recap the background, us officials say russian disinformation campaign has
11:09 am
sought to keep hunter biden's business dealings in the public eye according to npr. the washington post reporting last year intelligence officials warn the white house russian operatives sought to give misinformation to rudy giuliani to be used against the bidens. as you know mister giuliani was the president's point person who investigated hunter biden's business affairs. with the intent to link alleged malfeasance to joe biden. does this raise any red flags and do voters care? >> do voters care? probably not. when you look at the poles people have already made their minds up. they heard about hunter biden's tied to the ukrainian energy company, they know about this, donald trump talked about it regularly at the recent debate
11:10 am
and the impeachment hearings, the fox news polls show joe biden with a 57% favorability that was awfully good. at the same time hillary clinton email the we talked about four years ago, her favorability was in the 30s was people heard the news, isn't moving the political needle a lot and given the providence of these emails and the sketchiness that was obtained, i don't see how this makes the political difference. arthel: another poll from last week asking biden voters how committed they are to their candidate and asking the same of donald trump voters, 53% of biden supporters are committed. 43% of donald trump's supporters are committed to his reelection. take a look at a smaller number, 3% said they don't know. you can take that off the screen
11:11 am
and my question to you, do you think any recruiter will voters care more about the flimsy hunter biden allegations? who will better handle the coronavirus pandemic that continues to ravage our country? >> you hit the nail on the head. when you look at the issues driving voters opinions it is the pandemic and the economy. trump is getting high scores on the economy, joe biden and democrat getting high scores relative to the pandemic. those are the issues driving voters. it is interesting, more intense enthusiasm among republicans for donald trump, a lot of democrats are going to the polls to vote against donald trump more than they are voting for joe biden. when you see the long lines and record-setting early voting we've seen the past couple weeks it doesn't matter why voters are voting, these are democratic
11:12 am
voters that are very energized and they do it because of hatred of the president or support or enthusiasm for joe biden, they are still voting, those numbers are worrisome for the trump campaign. leland: arthel: many voters sat out the last election as well. mister biden is getting pushback on reporters or he is pushing back i should say on reporters questions who asked about this topic of alleged biden emails, mishandling or whatever claims are out there. refusing to give air to these claims. is this the best way to handle this topic or should biden answer questions when asked and tackle this head on. >> a larger problem for joe biden, he has not been that accessible to the press especially the beat reporters the cover him on a daily basis. axial us, the news publication found joe biden, taking 365 press questions in september,
11:13 am
less than half the number donald trump is taken and not only has he not been accessible but cbs news reporter was asking a fair and relevant question, you always ask because you are biased, trump certainly doesn't treat the media, joe biden hasn't taken as many questions last night. joe biden would be well advised in the final two weeks to take questions from the press for contrast when he deals with the press compared to the president. arthel: it ain't over till it is over, everyone is aware of that regardless what polling shows at this stage of the game. we will keep watching closely. thanks for joining us. >> thanks. eric: quoting yogi berra, that is certainly true. a lot of us are doing our sacred duty in record numbers, really voting seems like this when playing out across the country.

arthel: 1000 current and former cdc officials say politics play too much of a role at the agency during the pandemic. they find another letter that originally voiced objections back in may and been gaining more signatures since. the letter says, quote, it's historic credibility was based on incomparable expertise and 70 years of institutional memories, the organization is hardly recognizable today. >> when an american politician says look at all this fraud, that is causing people to distrust the institutions of the democracy. for partisan reasons it is so hard to vote, in ohio it is not hard to vote. when you said it is hard to vote
11:19 am
-- eric: the claims we've been hearing in this election about voting. the institute of politics seminar along with the michigan secretary of state, key battleground states as tens of millions of americans are breaking early voting turnout record in many states, and during long lines, 193,000 ohioans have voted in person in the last week in early voting, more than three times as many as 2016, 2 and a half million people casting absentee ballots. ohio's secretary of state joins us. there had been issues, the printing company not supplying ballots, you said they had been packing attempt on the system. our election officials able to handle this immense crush you are seeing in your state? >> ohio's bipartisan board of
11:20 am
county election has been ready, we have been working to make sure they are ready and i've been telling them since able to expect double the volume they normally see of absentee ballots. unfortunate there is a vendor that has overpromised and under delivered as it relates to that but they are getting caught up and nobody will be prevented from voting as a result of this. ohio has two weeks to return the absentee ballots. >> a lot of instances they find ballot to the mailbag. or in new york there is a problem with the printer but they find that out and correct that. does that mean votes don't count or election officials discovered something wrong and are correcting it? >> people involved in elections are purposeful to cast their ballots, that is what bipartisan election officials are dedicated to. you see democratic politicians like sherrod brown, to keep insisting that it is hard to
11:21 am
vote in ohio, and ohioans are demonstrating it is easy to vote at record-breaking numbers for the first two weeks. we have election day november 3rd but already two weeks of election month and shattered all previous records. 93% in a recent survey responded, democratic politicians keep insisting it is hard to vote, that is disenfranchising people by voter suppression. that is ugly and it should stop. eric: not just the democratic senators, they have accused you of voter suppression because you decided only one ballot box per county at a federal judge, that is arbitrary and unreasonable. i have been in cuyahoga county, i stood there with a line back then going down the block, how could you reasonably have one
11:22 am
ballot box per county, 100,000 people who don't want to vote by mail. >> ohioans know that voting by mail is the easiest way to return your ballot. what they should be doing is mailing them back, that is what my wife and i have done and millions have done for close to 20 years and once you mail back your ballot you can track it by going to voteohio.gov. i've provided over the massive expansion of so-called drop boxes in our state's history. every board of elections has one. this is the first time ever in a general election. what i like to see the program expanded? sure but the place to do that is not the courthouse, the state house, i made it clear to members of the general assembly we should do that but that should not happen in executive fiat from the secretary of state just days before early voting begins, it should be done in the general assembly and that is what they should do. eric: it restricts the vote by limiting one per county.
11:23 am
>> absolutely nonsense and ohioans know better. ohio has great choices, you have a whole month of early voting, we have more early voting than any state in the country and ohioans are shattering all previous records, we have a month of absentee voting where you can vote from the convenience of home and the polls are open on election day from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.. it is easy voted the buckeye state and anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth. eric: the top of the soundbite, the president, widespread voter fraud across the country, that is been dismissed but there have been cases, in cincinnati, louise richardson was charged with voting eight find illegally, in 2012-2008, she voted in the presidential election two or three times. in 2003 her sister was in a coma. she is - twice. how to prevent this from
11:24 am
happening? are there better security systems in place now in your state to prevent fraud? >> there absolutely are. ohioans know that voter fraud is not accessible, we don't tolerate it, we prosecute it and referred to the attorney general and other prosecutors when this happens, something we don't tolerate in any way but it is rare and ohioans shouldn't be afraid somebody is trying to tab her with their vote because the oversight of our elections, the rules we have in place or the fact we uniformly enforce those rules contribute to the fact a trustworthy result in ohio, ohioans know that. eric: you think you will get this done with not too many hiccups and bumps? how do you feel about it considering the massive amount of people showing up early for a couple weeks now?
11:25 am
>> these first two weeks of gone very well and what we have seen is record-breaking participation and that is great news to see ohioans are enthusiastically coming out to participate in early voting, 2.5 million ohioans have requested absentee ballots, 200,000 participated in early voting. by all accounts that is a great success. a bit human errors and mistakes? sure, that happens at those get corrected. you learn from those and move forward but they are continuing to vote in record numbers and that is a great thing and we will keep working to make sure people feel safe and secure when they go to vote as well and we have instituted a stunning edge of health and security standards as well. eric: when will you get a result? you got to wait a long time. >> are we going to have the final result on election night? the answer is of course not because we never have final result on election night. we will get the results until
11:26 am
that point and we will do something new, release the number of outstanding absentee ballots so people know how many votes still coming in because it is postmarked by monday november 2nd, '10 days to arrive. eric: probably along might come along few days. thank you, get some coffee and keep it going. arthel: maskless voters will be allowed to cast their ballots despite a statewide mandate requiring masks in public places. governor mike the wine says ohio poll workers and election officials have to offer masks to voters who do not have them and all our curbside voting options for those who refuse to wear a mask. eric: the coronavirus pandemic is continuing in our country in the wrong direction. five state setting record daily highs just yesterday alone. what is being done to reverse
11:27 am
