eric: president trump campaigning in the northeast, to cap off a very busy weekend on the campaign trail. the president set to visit bangor, maine, later this afternoon, after he earlier rallied voters in manchester, nenew hampshire. this trip comes as he looks to energize voters in the final full week in the race for the white house. hello, everyone. welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric shawn. hi, arthel. arthel: hello, everyone. i'm arthel neville. former vice president joe biden is taking the day off from

in-person campaigning, instead reaching out to voters virtually. meanwhile, vice president mike pence is preparing to host a rally in north carolina after his chief of staff and several close aides tested positive for coronavirus. white house says the vice president and second lady tested negative today and the vp plans to keep traveling in the final week of the race. meanwhile, president trump telling supporters in new hampshire, the stakes for this election could not be higher. >> joe doesn't have a clue. joe doesn't have a clue. i really believe he doesn't have a clue. this is our democracy. this is our country. we have to do what's right. and he's not a nice person. we have to give the democrats a thundering defeat and that includes congress, that includes your senate. arthel: we have fox news team coverage, jacqui heinrich is covering the biden campaign from delaware. but first, david spunt live in

manchester, new hampshire, where the president held that rally today. hi, david. >> reporter: hi. the president lost new hampshire in 2016. he hopes to change his fate and win this state in 2020. right now, he's currently down in the polls in new hampshire. we also know that the union leader, the biggest newspaper in the state, they have endorsed joe biden. the editorial board has endorsed joe biden, the first time that this newspaper has endorsed a democrat in more than a century. so president trump not only wants this win, president trump needs this win. he was here in new hampshire, here in manchester just about two months ago to meet with people but the crowd today, very excited to see the president. he spoke on several different topics, notably he talked about some of his foreign policy ash accomplishments, also the president talked about the pre-covid economy. speaking of covid, and the pandemic, the u.s. just set a

record, 85,000 cases in one day. earlier this year, about seven months ago, it was 85,000 cases total around the world. despite the increase in cases, the president explained why he believes it's important to hold rallies. now, the rallies are outside and i spotted more masks today than i have at other rallies that i've been covering over the past few weeks. but people are still packed together with zero social distancing. listen here. >> i was told in new hampshire, you can't have big crowds. you have to go to everybody's dining room and have dinner with them. this was even as i was campaigning, you know. i said i'm sorry, it just doesn't work. you've got to get together, you know, and you know you have guys that have nothing much to do, they're politicians and they'll go and have dinner with two or three people and every night and they do this for years. and then they come in seventh in the primary or something. i said no, we've got to do this. >> reporter: mark short, the chief of staff for vice

president mike pence, he's tested positive for covid-19, also four other aides that are close to the vice president. now, despite this, vice president pence is continuing his busy schedule. he'll campaign this evening in north carolina. as for president trump, he's making a stop in maine right now. later this week, he'll head to pennsylvania and michigan for morallies and campaign aides say to expect to see him to do three, possibly even four rallies a day as we get close to election day. arthel: yeah, david, and this day is not even over yet. we're told that air force one just landed in bangor, maine. so the president is potentially going to be doing some fund raising there. we're not exactly sure what but we'll let you know when we find out. david spunt there in manchester, new hampshire. thank you. eric: meanwhile, senator kamala harris, well, she is stumping for former vice president joe biden in michigan today. one day after the democratic

nominee returned to his native pennsylvania for two events in two key counties. senator harris is now you heading to troy, michigan. that's a northern suburb of detroit in oakland county. it's her second of three stops today in the wolverine state. jacqui heinrich following what the biden campaign is doing, in wilmington, delaware. what is the democratic nominee's strategy and plans for this, the final week of this race. >> reporter: yeah, eric. the democratic vice presidential nominee certainly has had a busy day today, she planned a couple stops in two cities in michigan, added a third this afternoon and she's had a busy week. she was in ohio yesterday. she was in georgia on friday. on tuesday, she's heading to no have dam we found out on friday, she's going to texas, a rescheduled event she had to cancel after a couple people in her orbit tested positive for coronavirus. it's an interesting choice. it's of course a leaning red

state, so really showing that the democrats are trying to find as many paths to 270 as possible. now, while all this is going on, former vice president joe biden is at home. his campaign nine days out from the election, called a lid for in-person events at 11:30 this morning. he's got a virtual event tonight. we don't know what his plans are for tomorrow but he's heading to georgia on tuesday and that's, again, an interesting choice given that it's a traditionally red leaning state. hillary clinton was criticized for focusing on the harder to win states in the final stretch of the campaign in 2016 and the thought process is, you don't want to let those must win states slip. however, deputy campaign manager kate bettingfield explained that the former vice president is looking at as many paths to 270 electoral votes as possible. the location in georgia is noteworthy. it's where president franklin del knoam no no roosevelt went o

recover from pole ya. biden -- polio. >> he's going to be delivering a closing argument set of remarks at warm springs, georgia, which has hi historical significance in this country and he's going to be making the case that we can unify this country. >> reporter: so while biden is gearing up for that unity pitch, his running mate all over the map, ohio yesterday, georgia friday, in michigan right now. she held a church service followed by a couple campaign kickoff events in detroit. she's heading to nevada on tuesday, that's the same day that former president barack obama will return to florida for a second time and it's his third trip since coming back out to the campaign trail to campaign for his former vp. he emerged for the first time last week with an event in philadelphia. eric. eric: all right, jacqui, adding a texas trip for the vice presidential nominee, kind of intriguing as they they scramble around the map to get every bit

they can. thank you, jacqui. let's now go to bangor, maine. that is where air force one is just landing. we have that live video of a air force one. bangor, pretty much up north. if you don't know this airport, man, it is an important airport. they have a big, long runway because when flights to or from europe either have an issue or smaller private jets don't have enough fuel to get home, this is where they land. bangor has its own customs service and if any transatlantic airliner has an issue, they pop into bangor and of course northern maine is the second congressional district which has been close in the past, really important district in this race. maine does not have that many electoral votes but -- electoral college votes but since the president was in neighborin neiw

hampshire this afternoon why not stop over in maine which in the past has been widely republican. of course, susan collins now has real fight on her hands with the speaker of the maine house, facing her and her race, a beautiful sight, always, air force one, that gleaming 747 with the insignia which was designed by president john f. kennedy based on the lettering in the constitution. the president has had his own plans about repainting air force one. he's got a model of his idea on his desk. so for those aviation offish ya thafans outthere, like big jet t like watch this all day. we won't. we've got lots of news to talk about. we'll tell what you the president is doing as soon as we get it. as he makes a quick pit stop in wonderful, beautiful, bangor,

maine. arthel: the u.s. now seeing a fall surge of covid-19 after hitting a record high of new infections friday. and nearly matching it just yesterday. the number of people testing positive nationwide friday and saturday surpassed 83,000. that's each day. let's go to alex hogan, she's following all of this, she's live in new york. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, arthel. the two days shattering the record that was previously 77,000, that was recorded on july 16th. now, 23 states around the country have a higher hospitalization rate. it's their record now. and 13 states saw more you new daily cases than ever before including key states in the election with just nine days left in the race. five of mike pence's closest advisors have tested positive. the vice president saying he will continue to campaign. president trump addressing the uptick at his rally today.

>> if we cut our testing down in half, they'd say -- well, they wouldn't say that. but cases would go down. now we have the best tests and we are coming around. we're rounding the turn. >> reporter: domestically, more than 224,000 americans have died from the virus this year. wisconsin and texas now opening up new field hospitals, researchers at the university of washington warned the death toll could reach 500,000 by february if people don't follow safety precautions. michigan governor gretchen behight whitmer responding to the outbreak on fox news today. >> we are still in the midst of a global pandemic. the trump administration has failed to address the global pandemic. we're eight months in and there's still not a national strategy. >> reporter: halted vaccine trials can now resume after safety investigations, astrazeneca stopped trials for six weeks because of

neurological side effects of two people, johnson & johnson paused for seven days after a serious medical event. health officials who investigated this says there doesn't appear to be any connection between the virus and the illnesses in just a few of these participants. arthel. arthel: alex hogan live in new york city. thank you so much. eric. eric: arthel, thousands in california could be left in the dark again today. windy, dry conditions in the state forcing planned power outages that could affect hundreds of thousands of people. record breaking fires in colorado has forced a new round of evacuations there. christina coleman is following all of this. >> reporter: we've been dealing with wild weather. forfortunately, some of the cold weather could dump more than a foot of snow in colorado on the fires burning there. the two largest fires in call

rougcolorado's history. snowfall totals of up to 18 inches are possible over the two fires during the round of cold weather and hopefully it will bring much needed relief to fire crews there. the snow is expected to last through tonight and taper off tomorrow morning. now, here in california, crews are still working to fully contain 21 wildfires. they've made a lot of progress. but today, strong winds have been bracing for what could end up being the most dangerous fire weather of the year. the state's largest you'd you tilt, pacific gas and electric, is doing another public safety power shutoff to prevent equipment from sparking fires during this windy -- these windy conditions, the outages will affect 361,000 people and last through tomorrow evening and red flag warnings are in effect for many areas, much of los angeles counsel at this will be under a -- county will be under a fire weather watch from tonight to tuesday because of dry santa ana winds and powerful winds are

expected to whip through the bay area. there's a lot of concern for that for tigonht. we've already had a bad wildfire season so far, thousands of acres have burned, thousands of buildings have been destroyed and 31 people have died. eric. eric: it is such a shame and the power outages also affect so many people. christina coleman, thank you. arthel. arthel: arthel: another severe weather threat in the viban, tropical storm -- carribean, tropical storm zeta is the 27th named storm this season, matching a record from 2005. it is -- forecasters are saying it could strengthen into a hurricane and there's nothing laughable about that, before reaching the u.s. gulf coast midweek, possibly targeting areas from louisiana to the florida panhandle. oh, boy. say it ain't so. eric: let's take a look at president trump. we showed you air force one a

moment ago. he's in bangor, maine. his itinerary actually a bit uncertain at the moment, not exactly sure what will transpire. just maybe gave a few brief remarks. the second congressional district, the northern district in maine, is very important because that state polls show have been very close, the colby college poll and government professors have said the race is very close. you have a great local pull in the senatorial race, gideon up by about 4 points over senator collins. so senator collins is seen as being a vulnerable republican incumbent in maine. and because they have this split voting in 2016, president trump actually became the first person to split maine's electoral vote. he got 1 vote in the electoral college from the second district, something he was very proud about at the time.

so they have also instituted rank voting in maine. so maine's got a lot of stuff going on. not just fishing and beauty and the beach and lobsters, but very active politics in the beautiful state of maine. we will keep you advised on what the president is doing and cover it all. stay with us, here on the fox news channel. stock slices. for as little as $5, now anyone can own companies in the s&p 500, even if their shares cost more. at $5 a slice, you could own ten companies for $50 instead of paying thousands. all commission free online. schwab stock slices: an easy way to start investing or to give the gift of stock ownership. schwab. own your tomorrow.

>> donald trump said and he's still saying, we're rounding the corner. it's going away. we're learning how to live with it. what i told him at the debate, we're not learning how to live with it. you're asking us to learn how to die with it. >> november 4th you're not going to hear the news, cnn, all they talk about, covid, covid, covid. if a plane goes down with 500 people, they don't talk about it. all they talk -- because they're trying to scare everybody. you have to lead your life. eric: that's president trump and former vice president joe biden zeroing in on voters in critical swing states this weekend. each candidate with a different approach to try and capture the undecideds. with coronavirus worsening,

healthcare up in the air and the economy getting stronger but still uncertain, what will tip the race? jamie weinstein, founding partner at jmw strategies, joins us now. jamie, it seems to be he's the incompetent, the deadly pandemic is his fault, versus he's a lefty, socialist who doesn't know what he's doing, his family's been on the take for years and if he's elected the economy is going into the crapper, it's going to crash and the u.s. is going to be the new veinvenezuela, he's going to tae your car, your guns and antifa is going to move in next door. how do voters sort this out? >> it's like every election. a lot of people decide at the last moment. not everybody is like you and me who of follows politics regularly, people that watch fox news follow the news regularly. a lot of people make up their mind last minute. so i think biden and trump are trying to hone their closing

messages, biden obviously has this sort of let the clock run out strategy, believing he has an enormous advantage. if the polls are right, he does. that's why he does the early -- he thinks he doesn't need to be out there where he might be prone to making a gaffe or depend on trump to make gaffes and hopefully trumps' unpopularity in his opinion, he'll crews to victory. that will either be right and that strategy will be called brilliant or of it will be wrong and it will be called it wroteic. dash-idiotic. we'll know soon enough. eric: the president says we have been making progress, that a vaccine is on the way, that operation carp spee warp speed g and he constantly says we're turning the corner. medical experts dispute this, saying you've got to look at a hospitalizations and the positivity rate. those are going up.

so they say the virus is getting worse. but here's what the president says about it. >> we're rounding the turn. even without the vaccines, we're rounding the turn. it's going to be over. and you know who of got it? i did. can you believe it? eric: you how does that response and explanation sit with most voters? >> well, i think this is potentially a real threat with nine days to go before the election. certainly, the good news is that it seems like even without a vaccine or a great therapeutic yet approved that the doctors have figured out protocols that have reduced the death rate according to a couple new studies. the cases are rising. what i think is a real threat to the president, he overcame it and tried to put it behind him but now you have around vice president pence, his chief of staff have got it, two other staffers have gotten it.

it's hard -- there's a decent possibility that vice president pence might get it as well. if he does, even if it's a mild case, it might highlight in the closing days what joe biden is claiming is the president's incompetent in dealing with it and that might be a negative message for president trump going into election day. eric: thankfully, the vice president we're told was tested today and he is negative. he's out back on the campaign trail. finally, jamie, what do you expect? how will this play out this week? will there be any more surprises? i guess it wouldn't be a surprise if it wasn't a surprise, or is it going to be more of the same as we get down to the wire? >> as everybody who lived through the trump era knows, that 10 of days sounds like a short period of time but within 10 days it can feel like a lifetime. there's no question that we will have a couple things we weren't expecting jump up here and potentially change the trajectory of the race.

one caveat being, we've had a lot of things this last year that should have changed the trajectory of the race and as we go to the wire here, it still seems to remain fairly similar. joe biden has a polling advantage. donald trump trying to narrow that advantage. if you trust the polls, joe biden's in a good position. but 2016's a great reminder, not that the polls were all wrong, in fact, the national polls were right, but sometimes we misstates, pollsters misstates, miss getting it rights and on election day you can be very much surprised. eric: that great political prognosticator yo yogi bear are said it ain't over until it's over. arthel: as you know, florida is known for its large retiree and senior citizen population. and political experts believe those voters could prove decisive this november. robert sherman has more from one of the nation's largest

retirement communities. >> i'm voting for trump. look at unemployment, look at the economy. until the covid hit. i mean, it was amazing. >> reporter: jill james lives in the villages, a florida retirement community larger than the island of man hat taken with over -- manhattan with over 100,000 residents. it's known for being a conservative stronghold. you'll find a few biden flags, signs and supporters. like mark layman. >> i'm very concerned about the covid crisis that we're in right now, the pandemic. naturally, because i'm a senior citizen, i'm concerned with benefits, social security. >> reporter: dr. jay edward benton says older voters are key for both president trump and former vice president biden to win the state. >> florida has a larger than normal senior citizen population. this constituency has a long-standing tradition of voting in large numbers. >> reporter: fox news exit polls from 2016 show president trump

won florida's 65 and older voters by 17 points. but a new mason-dixon poll shows the president up by only 9 points this year. democrats have been holding events like biden golf cart rallies, and they hope to peel off enough votes to make a difference this november. >> i've met many, many republicans who voted for trump in '16 and won't be in '20. trump will win the villages, he's not going to win by the same margins that he won in 2016. >> reporter: republicans, however, claime enthusiasm for the president is even stronger. >> of those individuals who have changed their registration, two to one have changed from democrat or npa to republican. i'm very confident that we will see a significant victory and strong turnout. most everyone in the villages we spoke with knows who they'll be voting for. both republicans and democrats say while there may be a few undecided voters here, good luck finding one. in the villages, florida, robert

sherman, fox news. arthel: okay, robert. thank you very much. senate republicans today pushing ahead with judge amy coney barrett's nomination to the supreme court in a rare sunday session, yo you ahead a closer t what would be her first big case as a sitting justice. at fisher investments, we do things differently and other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different.

here's to the duers. to all the people who realize they can du more with less asthma thanks to dupixent, the add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. dupixent isn't for sudden breathing problems. it can improve lung function for better breathing in as little as 2 weeks and help prevent severe asthma attacks. it's not a steroid but can help reduce or eliminate oral steroids. dupixent can cause serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. get help right away if you have rash, shortness of breath, chest pain, tingling or numbness in your limbs.

tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection and don't change or stop your asthma treatments, including steroids, without talking to your doctor. are you ready to du more with less asthma? talk to your asthma specialist about dupixent. if your financial situation has changed, we may be able to help. arthel: time for a look at some of the headlines for this hour. five people close to vice president mike pence have tested positive for coronavirus. including his chief of staff. the white house says the vice president and second lady tested negative today and that the vp will continue to campaign around the country, despite close contact with those aides and his advisors. afghanistan claims it has killed a top al-qaida leader who is on the fbi's most wanted terrorist list, the nation's intelligence service says he was one of those

terror group's top propagandaists. washington state successfully removed the first nest of asian giant hornets in the u.s. it was found near the canadian border and contained as many as 200 hornets, the bugs known commonly as murder hornets are an innovative species that can kill humans but mainly pose a major threat to honey bees, essential for poll nateing crops. right now we're going to get back to the campaign trail and take you live there to troy, michigan, where the democratic vice presidential candidate, kamala harris, is campaigning. we're going to listen in for a bit. >> we're looking at so many challenges in our country. right? and those crises, they're right in front of us. this virus, this pandemic, and

the public health crisis it has created where we are looking in our nation at 225 -- more than 225 americans, who have lost their lives in just the last several months. and so many of whom in their last days on earth didn't even have the benefit of having family or friends nearby to hold their hands, because of the nature of this virus. we're looking at over 8 and-a-half million people in our country who have contracted the virus. thankfully have lived. but are facing unknown long-term consequences including what doctors are talking about, lung scarring, things of that nature. serious pain and suffering in terms of public health crisis. but yet donald trump -- let's all thank bob woodward.

because we know donald trump was informed of the nature of this virus back on january 28th, informed that it is lethal, that it could kill five times as many people as the flu, informed that it was airborne, informed that it could hurt children. and he sat on that information and he did not tell the american people. can you imagine as a parent, as a snawl smalsmall business, as n individual, if you knew what donald trump knew on january 28th and what that might have meant in terms of just prepari preparing, thinking about the fact that even before this pandemic, most american families had less than $1,000 in savings and what that might have required if they had known, knowing the predictable, which is that businesses might shut down and you may not be able to

work because tragically, we still live in a nation where we do not have every worker -- arthel: there on a fall day in troy, michigan, that is kamala harris, senator harris, and she is also currently now the democratic vice presidential candidate, basically criticizing president trump's response to the pandemic and the public health crisis, coronavirus, that we've been dealing with for months on -- for about almost a year now. eric, we'll take it back to you now. eric: she will probably also criticize the senate, because the senate voted today to limit debate on nomination of judge amy coney barrett to the supreme court. the vote happened about two hours ago. it was an unusual sunday session, meaning the full senate confirmation vote likely to start around 7:30 p.m. eastern time tomorrow night, so folks can probably watch it on prime time, also here on the fox news channel. mark meredith has more on what we expect from washington. >> reporter: senators worked throughout the weekend to move

judge amy coney barrett's nomination forward and all indications are she will be confirmed to the nation's highest court early this week. >> we've got here a uniquely qualified person. and the best evidence of it is you don't hear anything over there about her qualifications. not a peep. >> reporter: democrats have called the confirmation process a sham and accused republicans of ignoring the precedent set four years ago when the senate refused to vote on president obama's supreme court nominee, merrick garland, months before the election. >> there is no escaping this glaring hypocrisy. as i said before, no tit-for-tat convoluted, distorted version of history will wipe you away the stain that will exist forever with this republican majority and with this republican leader. >> reporter: even some republicans are unhappy with this process, alaska senator

lisa murkowski made it clear she does not think the senate should pick up a nomination so close to the nomination, but murkowski who is up for re-election in two years, says she will vote to appoint her to the bench this week. >> i oppose the process that led us up to this point. i do not hold it against her as an individual who navigated the gauntlet with grace, skill and hugh millity -- humility. >> reporter: susan collins of maine said she will vote against judge barrett, collins is in a close rate of her own this year and some bun indicts believe her -- pundits believe her past support for brett kavanaugh may cost herself at the ballot box next month. some are calling for barrett to recuse herself from election cases, but she refused to give in so such demands. in washington, mark meredith, fox news. eric: that was mark meredith. arthel. arthel: yeah, eric.

well, jamie -- judge amy coney barrett's confirmation replaced the liberal iconic justice ruth bader ginsburg with a staunch conservative with a major obamacare case on the docket one week after election day, california versus texas, which will decide whether the individual mandate is unconstitutional. we're going to bring in now jess raven, she is -- he is joining us, he's a supreme court correspondent for the wall street journal. thanks, jess, for being here. so look, the republicans are going to -- the rules -- they rule the senate, the republicans do, so an affirmative confirmation vote is pretty much a done deal. there was talk from senator lisa murkowski of alaska about possibly holding out but she did move to vote forward for the confirmation. you can bet on a firm go on judge barrett all the way to her supreme court confirmation.

will there be political consequences for those who did not support barrett's nomination and appointment? >> those who did not support her? arthel: yeah. >> it depends of course what the voters say on election day. and we will see. i mean, this is -- she is somebody who, although president trump nominated her, her background suggests she would be in the mix for any republican president and that republican senators would support her no matter what the political environment is. so it really depends where the country is, whether the country believes this is the right direction for the court to go. if indeed we end up with president biden on the democratic side, we'll have a very interesting situation where maybe some senators pay the political price for amy coney barrett but she won't. she'll be on the supreme court for as long as she exhibits good behavior, basically for being alleve and then we'll have an interesting dynamic ahead.

arthel: and then first up would be potentially obamacare, individual mandate, whether or not it's constitutional. if it's deemed unconstitutional what happens to the 20 million people who they would lose their hell carhealth -- healthcare ant about those who have a pre-existing condition? >> well, this really -- there are a lot of contingent what ifs in this case. the case essentially says that the -- the argument is that when congress relieved the tax penalty, obamacare suddenly became unconstitutional because in 2012 it was upheld under the taxing power of congress. so the question for the supreme court is, one, is that true, the individual mandate becomes unconstitutional because the penalty is zero and if so, does the entire law including those provisions for people with pre-existing conditions and young people staying on their parents' health plan and so forth, does the entire law go down or does only the individual mandate go down.

and if it is only the individual mandate, that's almost an academic decision because there's no penalty for not carrying insurance anyway at the time. so there are a lot of what ifs. arthel: a lot of layers but also try on this for a second. and we have to go. quickly. by november 10 we're going to know if president trump has been reelected or if joe biden will be the next president. so that could determine if the suit to throw out obamacare will even move forward, right? >> it will move forward because the lower courts ruled against obamacare and california and other liberal states are appealing that. we may not know if president trump has been reelected. 20 years ago, we didn't know until december who the president was going to be. it was the supreme court that stepped in to tell us it would be george w bush. president trump has suggested that if there is -- if he's behind on election day, he may hope the supreme court pulls a similar kind of decision this year but that again will make it an interesting situation to watch, if it is a close election like it was 20 years ago. arthel: oh, boy.

a lot of of to follow, a lot to keep an eye out for and we appreciate your analysis and breaking it all down, jeff, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, arthel. arthel: absolutely. we're going to be right back. new projects means new project managers.

concerned that president trump was supportive of putin and they may be more aggressive than president trump has been on russia. arthel: can russia, iran and i believe you see china is up to no good as well, can they change votes and how can the u.s. put a stop to the sophisticated insidious interference in our democracy and discourse? >> you know, arthel, i worry less about votes being changed. i think people can vote, cast their ballots with confidence. what i worry about is people's mindsets and politics are fundamentally influenced by the russians and potentially the iranians and the chinese in a way that undermines our ability to get things done, ability of elected officials to get their work done and our confidence in the rule of law if our countries. what's happening is they're pouring gas onto the fires that exist in our country in order to make it easier for them to operate overseas while we focus at home on those fires. arthel: that means we need to

he may also be trying to pick off some of the electoral votes, 4 both in maine and new hampshire. but as the trump campaign tries to rally last minute support in new england, coronavirus is continuing around the country, and five people now, we're toll, in vice president mike pence's circle have tested positive including chief of staff mark short. vice president pence tested negative, david spunting is live in manchester, new hampshire, where that rally was held by the president earlier today. hi, david. >> reporter: well, i'm reading the press pool notes, and it says the president said he was going to buy a pumpkin at that apple orchard or in maine and that is appropriate because, of course, tonight he and the first lady are going to be hosting a halloween celebration at the white house. the president landing about 45 minutes ago, not too far of a flight from manchester, new hampshire. we have video of him getting off air force one as he landed in

maine, made his way over to that vin yard. according to the notes i i just reading, he's working what of a rope line, meeting with people, talking with people, signing hats. not a lot of masks according to those notes right there. but before that the president spent 90 minutes on the ground here in new hampshire at this rally in manchester at the airport talking about a variety of things. as you mention ld, picking off some of those electoral votes, those 4 votes in 2016 went to hillary clinton. the prime minister does not want to repeat -- president does not want to repeat that fate, he wants to win as many statements as possible -- states as possible. the union leader, the largest newspaper in the state of new hampshire, endorsed joe biden. this is the first time the newspapers has done so for a democrat in more than a century. now, on stage the president talked about several things including some of his foreign policy accomplishments, also talking about the economy

pre-covid. he also, though, talked about the opioid crisis that has plagued new hampshire. listen here. [cheers and applause] >> now, we got set back because when the plague came in, all of a sudden we're looking at different things. but we got it down 19%. i met with your police, we went to the precincts. for some reason your drug problem, opioids, everything else, is greater than most other statements proportionately. >> reporter: as for the pandemic, the u.s. sent a record 85,000 cases in one day. earlier this year, eric, we were hearing 85,000 cases globally. this was just in one day despite the increase in cases, the president explained why it's important that he has rallies outside. he's received a lot of create schism for having those rallies -- criticism. i've covered several in the west last week, some also on the east coast this week, and i've noticed more masks at this rally, although it's impossible to have any type of social distancing when you have people

that close together. and finally,ing eric, as you and arthel were talking about, the chief of staff for the vice president, mark short, he now has cocovid 19. four other aides close to vice president pence also have coi vid 19, but that's not stopping vice president pence from campaigning. he's going to be in north carolina tonight for a rally are. in fact, he's taking off on air force two from joint base andrews any moment. eric? eric: yeah. that union leader endorsement, a stunning rebuke and rejection of president trump in favor of joe biden. the editorial saying that we're not turning the corner on coronavirus, but the corner we've turned is down a dark alley of record infections and deaths, and the paper goes on to fault the president for the $7 trillion budget deficit. so quite a bombshell in the political world in new england today. >> reporter: first time in a hundred years. thank you. arthel: yes, both of you. yes, absolutely, it's stunning

and historic. so listen, we're gong to move on right now -- going to move on. the former vice president, joe biden, is talking the day off from in-person campaigning today. he is doing some virtual, or you know, outreach to voters. during a rally in pennsylvania yesterday, the democratic presidential nominee clarified his comments on energy and on oil during the final debate. meanwhile, today his running mate, senator kamala harris, is in michigan. we just showed her in troy,ing or michigan. she's encouraging voters there to head to the polls early. let's go to jacqui heinrich. jackie is live in wilmington, delaware, with more on the biden campaign. where is the former vice president heading this week? >> reporter: well, arthel, yesterday former vice president joe biden spent the day buttoning up policy questions. he had two stops in pennsylvania, but this morning -- nines out from the election -- his campaign called

the lid for in-person events. he he does have a virtual event later on this evening with husband wife, dr. jill biden, and he don't know what his plans are for tomorrow, but he's heading to georgia on tuesday. wilden was that rare -- yesterday wilden was working really -- biden was working really hard to break away from his coronavirus and economy-focused message to really set the or record straight on fracking and also the president's claims that biden would ban it. >> unlike donald trump, i don't think big oil companies need a handout of federal government. we're going to get rid of the $40 billion fossil fuel subsidies, and we're going to invest it in clean energy, carbon capture. >> reporter: biden's energy plan does not ban fracking or any other type of extraction, but critics say biden could hurt the industry if he reverses president trump's deregulation. meantime, the democratic vice

presidential vice nominee is in michigan. hillary clinton comfort by won the counties in 2016. right now the real clear politics average has the biden ticket up by nearly 8 points, and her focus is to energize turnout. she criticized this administration's coronavirus response. >> even at this moment of trial, as i look out at this kong redivision and i travel around the -- congregation and travel around this country, i see people who are rising, i see people who are filled with strength and with purpose. health care workers, truck drivers, grocery store clerks, caregivers, teachers. >> reporter: now on tuesday harris will held to nevada, and then on friday she's making a stop in texas which is a rescheduled event that she had to cancel after two people involved with her campaign came down with coronavirus. but her visit to texas comes the same week that joe biden's

making that stop in georgia, another reliably red state indicating that the democrats want to help some down-ticket races or feel they have a good enough shot at making these areas turn blue. arthel? arthel: jackie houston rick in wilmington, dre delaware, thank you. eric: tropical storm seth that has now -- zeta has now formed in the gulf. the national hurricane center says it will hit portions of mexico late tomorrow. it may grow to hurricane strength as it approaches the northern part of the gulf coast. zeta happens to be the 27th named storm this season. that ties a record set back in 2005. we'll be tracking the storm and, of course, we'll update you as the week goes on. arthel? arthel: yeah, eric. right now i think we're going to have a shot there in bangor, maine, where the president is doing a meet and greet. wow, look at that. all the beautiful, colorful

largest fires in colorado's history, and combined they've burned more than 400,000 the acres so far. the snow is expected to last through tonight and taper off tomorrow morning, bringing crews there some much-needed relief. >> the snow's not going to put the fire out, but it is really going to put it on pause. and we anticipate really taking advantage of that pause to get this condition where your homes are in a place where we can start talking about reentry. >> reporter: meantime, red flag warnings are in effect for much of california due to santa ana winds, expected to whip through the bay area tonight. they could end up creating the most dangerous fire weather of the year here in the state. pacific gas and electric is doing another public safety power shutoff to prevent equipment from sparking fires during these windy conditions. the outages will impact about 361,000 customers in and around the bay area through tomorrow

speaker, sarah guild on, of the maine -- gideon house, and the recent poll putting sarah gideon, the democrat, up by 4 points. so you can get some fresh produce, some apples, some carrots, some great maine delicacies and sign the pumpkins. you can also do some positive political work as we see this wonderful american new england tableau. the president of the united states and, arthel, drinking her coffee. what a way to campaign. that's the heart of america. right there. just great. ♪ >> even if we get a vaccine this year, even if that becomes available this year and we get shots into the arms of the first tranche of patients which is likely to be the elderly and health care workers ors they're not going to have protective

race? what do you see happening over this next week? >> yeah. i mean, as you point out, the polls right now have biden in the lead. he is clearly in a strong position in pennsylvania. polls have him anywhere between a 5 and an 8 percentage point lead, which is pretty solid. some people will point out that that's pretty close to where hillary clinton was in 2016. a key difference here though is that there are a lot fewer undecideds this time around. joe biden, most fox poll you just cited, several others, biden's right at or above that 50% mark whereas in the last election there were a lot of undecided voters left in pennsylvania at this stage of the race. we know that many of them broke to trump in the final days of the campaign. that doesn't seem to be happening this time. again, we don't know. the president surprised everybody in pennsylvania last time around, but, or you know, what we've seen since 2016 is that the areas where democrats are strong -- cities, suburbs --

have actually grown a little bit in population. the areas where the president was strong, more of the rural areas and small towns, slunk a little -- shrunk a little butt in population. when -- a little bit in population. 44,000 votes, that could be a key factor, among many others. eric: yeah. the president has rallied in the western part of the state, around pittsburgh, stressing that, as you know. the joe biden force really stretching the east, philadelphia and suburbs. what do you see -- of course he's a native son, and president trump has been going after fracking. mr. biden has said that he will not shut down fracking, but why do you think biden has been getting so much traction? >> i mean, there's a number of reasons, and you point out that he's a native son. hillary clinton was as well, but, you know, there is -- it's not the same antipathy towards joe biden as there was towards hillary clinton probably for a wide number of reasons. and he has really kind of

cultivated that blue collar image. and he's even gone to some of these same areas where the president was strong where there is that kind of white working class electorate and tried to win back some of those voters. in a lot of ways, they're talking to the same voters but for different reasons. the president is going to johnstown and erie, and biden has gone to some of the same exact locations peel away some of the more moderate swing voters or people who are maybe democrat who sided with trump last time but may be having second thoughts, and he's trying to bring some of them back. biden is looking at the swing voters right now while sending barack obama to philadelphia to kind of rally some of the base. trump is also looking at his base, and he's basically looking at what he did in 2016, only bigger in a lot of the same areas. eric: and finally, which group do you think are undecided the most? you have african-americans around philadelphia, kamala

harris trying to energize that part. the suburban women, the but collar voters, you know, who do you think will finally tip it? what do you think is going to happen? >> well, i think when it's this close, or there's no one factor that decides it. any one group that comes out in huge numbers or smaller numbers can make a difference. and i think you pointed to the key groups. you've got african-american voters in the cities, suburban voters outside of pittsburgh and philadelphia and a few of the smaller cities in the state and those kind of white working class voters in the rural areas. so i think if any one of those surgery in turnout or drop in turnout, they could make the difference because races in pennsylvania just tend to be that close. eric: all right, keeping tabs on politics. we'll be watching next tuesday. jonathan -- >> thank you very much. eric: of course. >> thanks for having me. arthel: we are just getting a statement from the state department announcing that the white house has brokered a

ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan. the two nations have been fighting over disputed region of azerbaijan for weeks with hundreds of civilian and military casualties. the white house is saying the ceasefire deal also involved france and russia. excuse me. a previous ceasefire brokered by russia last month fell apart within hours, so this story is breaking. we're going to keep following this. let's hope this ceasefire maintains, pardon me, and we're going to bring you more news as we get it. but for now, there's a ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan, so that's good. mean while, president trump boosting through swing states this weekend including new hampshire which hillary clinton barely won in 2016. can the president flip that state back to red? and could its 4 electoral vote prove decisive at this point? ♪

[cheers and applause] arthel: so president trump topping off a weekend tour through several battleground

states by rallying supporters in manchester, new hampshire. four electoral votes up for grab there. that happened earlier today. but the real clear politics polling average has former vice president joe biden ahead in the granite state by 13- 11 points. how crucial will a win in new hampshire be for either candidate? here to discuss is the editor-in-chief of the fulcrum. you know, so listen, president trump is working really hard this weekend. so so is vice president biden. three rallies yesterday for the president. the president just is leaving bangor, maine, now. early today he was of in manchester, new hampshire. so, listen, the crowds there are enthusiastic when they show up for the president. but david, you know, the rallies are crowd-pleerses, but will this -- pleasers, but will this help the president win over the

undecided voters in new england and across the country? >> so great question. the rallies, of course, are fascinating. the president, he clearly is energized by these rallieses. i watched several of them this weekend. he doesn't lose his energy. he's high energy. but -- and he hated the teleprompter, and he makes fun of the teleprompter. clearly, his aides would like him to make a strong there, very focused teleprompter-centric case to the country about why he should be reelect. the president doesn't like to do that. he likes to go on these long riffs about the cost of air force one and how good looking it is. he talked about the armenia and azerbaijan ceasefire that you just mentioned right before the break. he doesn't focus all that much on his case for reelection and that, i think, is what he needs to be doing if he wants those, the energy in those rallies, those people to go home and go to their neighbors and tell them you've got to come out and vote

for the president. that's what he's going to need to do if he wants to turn a state like new hampshire which has been trending pretty democratic. as you say, hillary clinton barely won it last time, this time the senator cruising to re-election. the governor, who is a republican, also cruising to re-election. this is a tough road for him to hoe here. arthel: well, listen, it's still not over yet. meanwhile, i want to show you a map of 11 states the president visited this week alone, and i want you to continue what you're mentioning, david, about what the president is actually saying on the campaign trail when he's off teleprompter. you know, he questions the integrity of the election at these rallies and elsewhere. but, you know, anything could happen election night. if he wins and he's already said this thing is a hoax, a scam, but if he wins -- >> well, gosh, i think if that happens, then it's probably pretty unlikely that the president will say the election was stolen. but up until -- and i think if

the president does win, you know, i think what we're looking at is several of the big battleground states, particularly the so-called upper midwest, what they used to call blue wall before the president took the three states away from hillary clinton last night, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, those statements tend to count for lots of different reasons the vote tends to come in later, especially in pennsylvania. the president talked about that in new hampshire today. at least at the moment absentee ballots that are postmarked by election day arrive as long as three days late and still be in counted, so it'll be a while. if in the last nine days the president turns this around and roars to re-election and wins florida decisively and, essentially, repeats the math that he did last time and maybe picks up a place like new hampshire, really the three states that the president seems to be focused on that he didn't win last time that he thinks he might have lightning strike this time, new hampshire, minnesota,

invest. if that were to happen, yes, i don't think we will be hearing much about why was everybody sent a ballot in nevada or new jersey or washington, d.c. or any of the places, or california where everybody 's getting a ballot proactively. won't hear that. arthel: is this race still too close to call? >> gosh, not according to -- well, is it too close to call. i think we didn't think the 2016 was too close to call. most of us were wrong. i was, certainly, among those who were wrong and thought that it was going to be, that all the polling was pointing towards hillary clinton. so, or yes, i think it remains too close to call. there are too many x factors. what you're seeing, the surgery of people vote -- surge of people voting by mail who are democrat early but then big pickup for republicans, lots -- the count of the vote going to be much more complicated than it's been in the past.

i think t certainly going to be too close to call almost certainly on election night. the country should be definitely ready for something more like election week, not election night, and if there's delays in the count, this does not mean -- contrary to what the president says, this does not mean there's something fishy going on, it's just going to take time to count. arthel: david hawkings, editor-in-chief of the fulcrum. thanks, david. >> thank you. arthel: eric? eric: arthel, the heightened political rhetoric we've been seeing downed with anxiety and worry surrounding coronavirus, they have many people suffering election stress disorder. rhode island chard ya coke bus explains. >> reporter: not sleeping? feeling anxious? irritable, perhaps? you may be suffering from a disorder which first started about four years ago. >> i do worry. >> reporter: a growing number of people are suffering from something called election stress

disorder. it's moments like these from the debate stage to social media and even discussions at the dinner table that may be causing emotions related to election 2020. >> it's a lot because people don't feel sure about anything right now. there's nothing to believe. that's what it is. >> the unknown, you know? it's just -- we don't know where it's going to go, you know? and it's just like that uncertainty on top of covid and everything is, yeah, it's a lot going on. >> reporter: election stress disorder was a term coined back in 2016 when the presidential election between donald trump and hillary clinton reached a fever pitch. now that same therapist tells fox 5 that the current election year may be the most stressful yet. >> this is stress on steroids. >> reporter: the doctor says he attributes this year's heightened sense of anxiety to social media, but he warns people this feeling can go well beyond november 3rd. >> it's going morph immediately

into headline stress disorder. you're still going to be getting those alerts about distressing headlines. that's what happened in 2016. >> reporter: just remember there's one thing you can do to control your emotions this election day, and that's to vote. so make sure you do so on november 3rd. fox 5 news. eric: well, judge amy coney barrett less than 30 hours away if the vote to confirm her as the next supreme court justice. we'll have the latest from washington on that next. ♪ ♪ breast cancer,... ...standing in the struggle. hustling through the hurt. asking for science, not sorrys. our time... ...for more time... ...has come. living longer is possible- and proven in women taking kisqali plus fulvestrant or a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor.

this, by the way, is her third stop in michigan today. right now she's in pontiac. we showed her a little bit in troy, michigan. so, again, the democrats are working hard to try to win over that key battleground state there in michigan. and meanwhile, senator harris' colleagues there in the u.s. senate today advancing judge amy coney barrett's nomination to the supreme court. lawmakers held a procedural vote in a rare sunday session today, setting the stage for the final vote to confirm judge barrett by the full senate tomorrow night. mark merediths has more now from washington. >> reporter: senators worked throughout the weekend to move judge amy coney barrett's nomination forward, and all a indications are she will be confirmed to the nation's highest court early this week. enter we've got here -- >> we've got here a uniquely qualified person.

and the best evidence of it is you don't hear anything over there about her qualifications. not a peep. >> reporter: democrats have called the confirmation process a sham and accused republicans of ignoring the precedent set four years ago when the senate refused to vote on president obama's supreme court nominee neverric garland months before -- merckic garland months before the election are. >> as i said before, no tit for tat, con so constituted, discount torted -- distorted vision of history that will exist forever with this republican majority and with this republican leader. >> reporter: even some republicans are unhappy with this process. alaska senator lisa murkowski made it clear she does not think the senate should take up a nomination so close to the election, but more cow i sky says she will vote to confirm barrett to the bench this week. >> well, i oppose the process that has led us to this point. i do not hold it against her as

an individual who has navigated the gauntlet with grace, skill and humility. >> reporter: one republican, southern collins -- susan collins of maine, says because of the timing she will vote against judge barrett. collins is in a very close race of her own, and some pundits believe her past support for brett kavanaugh may cost her at the ballot box next month. democrats are demanding barrett recuse herself from any potential 2020 election cases, but during her confirmation process, barrett refused to give in to such demands. in washington, mark meredith, fox news. eric: and for more on what we can expect tomorrow, former counsel to the senate judiciary committee joins us. greg, first, walk us through the processes what we will see 7:26 tomorrow night. how does this roll out? >> now that we had a successful vote on crow eture today -- that's the vote to move to final vote up or down on the

confirmation, 30 hours burns. senates can use that time to make speeches, they likely will overnight, all day tomorrow. and when the clock runs out, a vote will be in order. and we can expect most senators to be there. as senator harris was not there today, but typically the full senate votes on matters supporting from their desk in some grand ceremony. it might be a bit different which this year with social distancing and those types of requirements, but we can expect a full senate and some stirring final speeches from both sides. eric: we're looking at the senate live wright next to you right now as that, apparently, has started. the democrats using this on the campaign trail saying, as we just heard, that this vote and confirmation has been rammed through unfairly. you think that will be successful and the president can energize the base by having this pick? >> yeah. i don't think it's an argument

that resonates for democrats with real voters. judge barrett has been extremely well received by the public. her polling is stronger than the president's and certainly much stronger than the position that she should be voted against. i don't think typical voters, certainly voters in the middle are making a decision between these two candidates are terribly torn up about senate procedure and timing of the votes. on the contrary, democrats have talked about the supreme court nomination and confirmation process less than you would expect. they think of health care to resonate more with voters. but instead of president trump -- but for president trump, they ran on putting these types of judges on the supreme court, and so they're delivering. i think senate republicans in most states and the president will be happy to have the electoral season closing with

this remind or of their record on the judiciary. eric: the democrats are highly critical of her. you have a lot of experience in the halls of congress in dealing with these issues. what type of judge, finally, do you think she will be? >> you know, i think she's been a judge now for three years and has already impressed people, developed a very thoughtful record on legal issues of the day as she had as an academic. i think if she wants to be, she may merge as a very popular public figure who can kind of explain the roles of the courts and explain the view that most conservatives have about judging, explain originalism to a broader audience. she once worked for justice scalia, and he spent much of his career speaking in public and articulating his view of the role of judgings. and perhaps judge barrett may be some of that as well. eric: a mom, she's a working mom, drives the minivan with the kids, so getting something
