the brutal conditions for firefighters this morning. good morning. on a busy day for democrats, it's the eve of the democratic national convention being held in milwaukee, wisconsin, this week. >> wisconsin, of course, is a key battleground state, but this is going to be a very different kind of convention, much more subdued of course, as a result of the pandemic. the party nonetheless hoping to galvanize voters with the biden/harris ticket. >> and the convention taking place, as president trump threatening funding for the postal office, worry that mail-in voting can compromise the election. but this morning, the president is dealing with a personal tragedy, the passing of his younger brother. abc's rachel scott joins us with more on that. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. the president is mourning the loss of his younger brother robert who passed away last night. t only his brother, but his was

best friend, writing in a statement, he will be greatly missed. the cause of death was not made public, but the president did visit his brother in the hospital in new york city on friday. paying tribute to him shortly after at >> i just want to pay my respects to a really good guy that i love. he respected you. >> reporter: the president is spending his weekend at his golf club here in new jersey, gearing up for a contentious election where the battle for mail-in voting is taking center stage. less than 80 days out from election day, the battle over mail-in voting intensifying. president trump launching a new round of attacks calling it a disgrace. >> universal mail-in voting is going to be catastrophic. it's going to make our country a laughingstock all over the world. >> reporter: democrats calling on the new postmaster general louis dejoy to resign. congressman adam schiff tweeting, he slowed delivery, banned overtime, right before the election during a pandemic. >> within this administration is an attempt to make sure your

vote doesn't count and doesn't count as cast. >> reporter: dejoy, a gop donor was tapped by president trump to take the job at the post office. now under fire for cost-cutting measures that slowed mail delivery nationwide. the president coming to his defense. i can only tell you, he's a very smart man. >> reporter: protesters filling the streets outside of dejoy's home. carrying signs saying, don't stamp out democracy. across the country, states bracing for a record number of mail-in voting, now confronted with a warning from the post office -- that millions of ballots might not be delivered in time to be counted. and democratic aides tell abc news that house speaker nancy pelosi is considering bringing back the chamber early to address those concerns with the post office. whit? >> this fight is only heating up. rachel scott for us, thank you. we appreciate it. as we mentioned earlier, the democratic national defense kicks off in milwaukee tomorrow,

and joining us now is the lieutenant governor of wisconsin, mandela barnes. mr. barnes, thanks so much for joining us. i want to jump right to it. the convention was supposed to put the spotlight on wisconsin for democrats. now it's going virtual. joe biden and kamala harris aren't even going to be there, but president trump will be for there but how much are you concerned this will dampen enthusiasm? >> i'm not too concerned that it will hurt our message or dampen our enthusiasm. it just shows how irresponsible donald trump has been, and it shows how democrats have been using science and letting the medical advice lead the way all throughout this entire pandemic. like i said for donald trump to show up in person for another campaign event shows all he cares is about finding a solution to the economic woes and the healthcare concerns that people have in america. >> but donald trump won wisconsin in 2016. that was the first time a republican presidential candidate won that state since 1984. there was low voter turnout. hillary clinton was criticized

for not paying enough attention to the state. does biden though still need to find way to get to wisconsin to connect and engage with the voters there in person? >> well, let's also remember that donald trump got 6,000 fewer votes than mitt romney did in 2012. for joe biden to show up to wisconsin, of course you want people to show up, but during this campaign cycle, those in-person visits are going to be limited. simply because we're not in a place where it's safe for people to gather. so what type of event we're looking at, we're not going to have a large-scale rally here in wisconsin, at least for the foreseeable future. there aren't going to be big events that are attended by, you know, more than a dozen or so people, so a visit to wisconsin in person, we know that at this point we're not ready yet. donald trump is the person who has disregarded the science. he's disregarded the medical advice. he's repeatedly attacked

doctors, dr. fauci, and so many others who have a broader sense about what's actually going on than he does. >> i want to shift gears and talk about the big news from this week. how important was this selection of kamala harris as running mate? not only when it comes to black and minority voters, but do you think that she could help win over some young progressives who have been reluctant to get behind biden? >> well, i think that it was -- you see the fund-raising numbers that came overnight after the vp selection was announced, and for young people, young progressives, i consider myself to be a young progressive voter, and for many of them joe biden wasn't their first choice, honestly, joe biden wasn't my choice. but we know what's at hand right now. a donald trump presidency has been ill served to everyone in america, whether it's our seniors, whether it's our young people who are uncertain about college, uncertain about their future because we have a climate denier in the white house. we have with joe biden and

kamala harris, two candidates, two people who are ready to take over right away and lead this country in the more positive direction when it comes to health care, when it comes to our environment, when it comes to education. the list goes on and on and on, so i do think that people will be excited. i think that, you know, the enthusiasm gap that existed in 2016 is gone now because these people are -- these two candidates are leading with a vision. they went through a rigorous primary cycle, which changes things. which changes the dynamic, and also it brings out the best in them. it shows how they -- or excuse me. it has created a sort of evolution with both of them as well from where they were when they first entered the race so where they are now as the nominee for president and vice president. >> we know that wisconsin is also important to trump as he's engaging in his counter-programming throughout the week as well. again with that event in wisconsin tomorrow. lieutenant governor barnes, thank you so much for your time.

we do appreciate it. of course, abc news will provide gavel to gavel coverage of the democratic national convention monday through thursday. that's beginning at 7:00 p.m. eastern on abc news live and then at 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc. dan, over to you. >> thank you, sir. let's bring in the man who will be leading our election co anchor george stephanopoulos who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> how much of a bounce do you think the democrats can get out of a convention scaled back like this? >> it's hard to know. you've seen conventions gravitating towards being television productions for the last 20 years or so. now it's purely a television production. everybody's going to be virtual, and you're not going to see any crowds. i think it could have some dampening impact on the bounce a little bit. but i would counter that with the idea that you might not have gotten much of a bounce anyway. this is a such a polarized nation right now, hard to see any big swing in votes. president trump's approval

rating has been pretty steady around 40%, 42%. that's for his entire presidency, and then joe biden's lead over donald trump has been in the seven to nine-point range ever since the pandemic has started. hard to see much change in those numbers. >> it will still, though, be a fascinating week and you'll be leading our coverage. let me talk, though, about this mail-in voting scandal, with the changes being made to the post office right now, do they represent a real threat to the health of this election? >> it could. i mean, there's a good chance you're going to have huge backlogs of mail across the country as you see these cutbacks and overtime and other changes the postal service is making. now the postal service is equipped to get out billions of pieces of mail. they do it every christmas. the question is how these cutbacks are going to affect that combined with moves to limit when -- at what point mail has to be postmarked in order to be counted.

i think one thing that is very likely is if we have a close election even if large numbers of voters are not disenfranchised, it's going to take an awful long time to count those votes, and that could lead to questions about the legitimacy of the election. >> george, thank you very much. >> thank you. want to remind everyone, george has a big show this morning. tune into "this week" later this morning, when george goes one-on-one with senator bernie sanders about the upcoming democratic convention. plus, trump campaign senior adviser jason miller will be here to discuss the president's re-election efforts. george, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> once again, eva, over to you. turning now to summertime r.ronavirus peak load, nowhere this morning, hospalizations over the last 7 days, 5 states have reported numbers of deaths all this as schools and colleges across the country struggle with their reopening plans.

here in new york city, columbia university now deciding to go completely remote learning for the fall semester. abc's trevor ault is there with more. good morning to you, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, eva. america's education systems are really in flux every day. from every corner of the country, there are new announcements like columbia's, cancelling in-person learning and post-opening, sports. across the country this morning, some schools are fighting desperately to plan around the pandemic and others are reacting as the virus hits home. oklahoma state university, a sorority house is now under quarantine with 23 people there testing positive for covid-19. >> this is a tough time. there's no denying that. >> reporter: an oklahoma school district says 25 students are in quarantine because two students ache now brio moveo rtl went to learning. >> my choice rhtow is inorg my e

riinmynbn child,iskingea oer ops outside of phoenix has canceled its first day of school after more than a hundred teachers and staff refused to come in. at ohio state university, messaging telling 500 students they had a three-hour window to get tested led to these testing no social distancing in some areas. the university said students were aware of batch testing plans. that lack of social distancing happened when everyone ran inside because of a thunderstorm. a new covid-19 test from yale is hoping to help with these kind of problems. it designed to be cheaper and o. faster, but saliva-based tests aren't proven to be as accurate as a nasal swab. nine football players have tested positive after returning

from a week off. the sooners are still planning on playing this season, though many teams are not. >> we enter into the sports season without any pl i of peop this historic uncertainty, students like nebraska, omaha freshman, shayla fox are trying to opt for optimism. >> i'm a little concerned that the semester is going to end early. i'm excited but hoping next semester, at worst that next year it will be normal again. >> and the cdc says cases among children are steadily on the rise. they say they still don't know if children transmit the virus at the same rate that adults do, but make no mistake. mptant information as the sng

school year gets under way. trevor, thank you. i want to turn now to the heated clashes as protests are taking place across the country. fights breaking out between different groups of rgnd michigan as arrests continue in oregon. abc's janai norman joins us with the new developments. >> reporter: 82 days after george floyd's death sparked a worldwide awakening of the realities of racial injustice this nation is still reeling, parts of america are on edge as demonstrators are clashing over issues of race and political ideology. overnight, under the heavy blanket of smoke -- lines were drawn between demonstrators and officers in portland. several people were arrested as officers attempted to quell the crowd on the 80th night of protests. in georgia -- >> did he just take my pepper spray? >> reporter: tensions boiling over as armed men faced off w ty of sne the in white
