ds. ends monday.

the president brushed off that report. >> it could be. i mean, it could be very much.

i think the last person russia wants to see in office is donald trump because nobod has been tougher on russia than i have. >> reporter: democrats calling it a shocking abdication. the change comes 70 days out from election day. biden is preparing to resume in-person events taking on his rival over the handling of the pandemic. >> didn't have this bad. it's worse for all of us because the administration didn't have a plan. >> reporter: some of the sharpest criticism coming from the president's own family. in another round of secret recordings the president's sister saying he's only out for himself. >> then you get donald who won't do anything for anybody. anything he did he says look what i've done. aren't i wonderful?

>> reporter: on the issue of election security congressional democrats say there were already in-person briefings planned for the month of september. those have been called off. they are threatening to use every tool in their power to bring those briefings back. >> rachel scott, thank you. former acting dhs under secretary for intelligence john cohen joins us this morning. john, we heard the reasoning behind this move is the concern over leaks. we're hearing a major backlash on this move. paper briefings are still happening. how often do they happen and why are the in-person briefings so important? >> good morning. so the rationale for ending briefings to the intelligent committees is rather suspect. these committees have a long history of protecting sensitive information. the breefrings

regular occurrence. it allows the members of congress to assess the ability of the reporting, to understand how the information was collected. this announcement is coming at a time when concerns are being raised and there's been public writing that products have been altered by those outside the intelligence community to water down russia's interference in the election process. this is a disturbing announcement made by the administration. it should cause concern among the american people. >> this is about election security, the major concern being the information is being blocked for political reasons. is there any security concern that warrants ending these in-person briefings? >> no. i think the argument could be made that we're at a point in time where we should be

expanding the release of information, not just to congress, but to state and local authorities, to political parties, to those running for office and the public so that more can be done to address the threat to our 2020 elections. >> to get right to it, how real is the concern about current possible election interference and what importance does that put on these specific briefings? >> this is a very serious threat. the election is just around the corner. we've been warned by the trump intelligence community that russia and other hostile nations want to influence the outcome, just like russia did in the 2016 election. there are concerns not enough has been done to protect the 2020 election particularly from russia's use of conspiracy theories and disinformation to influence public opinion and incite violence.

it's a very real threat. this is not the time to diminish or considurtail briefings for congress. it's the time to expand the briefings, provide more information to the public so we can all take steps from being influenced by these activities from those who want to influence the outcome of the election. >> we'll be seeing them fighting this move on the mill. john zo john cohen, thank you for your time. dan? >> a new abc news/ipsos poll said the president did not get much of a bounce out of the convention. biden had a favorability of 40%, trump 32%. after the conventions biden jumped to 45% while the

president dropped to 31%. let's bring in jon karl on this. jon, what do you make of these new numbers? >> it's very worrying for the trump campaign. frankly donald trump needs a boost. when you look at the favorability rating 31% saying they see the president favorably, 31%. it's really a pathetic number. he needs to get that up going into the general election. it was virtually unchanged after the convention. another significant number is that neither convention was followed by most of the country. half of the country tells the pollsters they didn't pay attention to either convention. >> very interesting. let me ask you about another issue swirling in the political world this morning. we're hearing the president is going to visit kenosha this weekend. we're seeing a lot of

handwritthand wringing by moderate democrats. are these valid concerns. >> they are, dan. the central theme to the trump campaign is to tie the protests to the violence. erase the distinction between the violence and the peaceful protests like we saw friday at the lincoln memorial. the other thing they're trying to do is portray every act of violence tied to the biden campaign. saying those images you see in portland, the images you saw of trump supporters coming out of the white house after his acceptance speech, those are images of biden's america. i think that biden needs to get out there and make the point that that's not what he's about. >> we're hearing biden will be doing more in-person

campaigning. jon, thank you. jon will be hosting "this week" later this morning. he'll be going one on one with chad wolf and amy klobuchar. that's coming up on abc. eva, back to you. now hurricane laura, the storm leaving behind a path of devastation. so many people in louisiana waking up without power or water. it may be that way for weeks. rob marciano joins us from new orleans. good morning, rob. >> reporter: yeah, eva, that's if they're waking up in their home. a lot of people who live in lake charles don't have a livable home. so many people are not even there. we have hundreds of evacuees stays in new orleans. help is on the way. the people of lake charles are going to need help for a long, long time. this morning over 400,000 customers still without power in the wake of hurricane laura.

utility crews are rolling in, but are faced with a cripple electrical grid to be repaired or rebuilt. tens of thousands without running water in extreme summer heat. five out of six water plants in lake charles severely damaged. >> water and electricity is out and you should expect it out for weeks. >> reporter: forcing the shutdown of one hospital. newborn babies needed to be evacuated. >> they lost water pressure and they lost their air conditioning system. everything -- the walls were wet. the floor was wet from the humidity. >> reporter: while the other hospital in lake charles water trucks in hourly to stay open. storm victims lining up for water. there's the call vary. one of many signs of hope getting supplies to the storm

victims. food, water and tarps. we found a woman who lost her entire food. what do you need? >> water, whatever they're giving out. >> reporter: chef gary he blank started feeding victims. >> they were just scooping green beans out of a can. i thought there was a better way to feed better. >> reporter: if you can't pick up the food, they'll deliver it. >> i don't understand what keeps our staff going. something amazing happens over a shared meal. >> reporter: chef gary has a great heart. so many people coming into lake charles to help the residents there. the nurse you saw in that piece who evacuated babies from lake charles to here in new orleans, 15 years ago she was evacuating

babies from new orleans to lake charles during hurricane katrina. she feels rewarded because of what she was able to repay. the recovery will be slow. it was so hot yesterday. it will be so hot again. heat advisories up for lake charles. it's miserable conditions. severe weather across the northeast. couple tornados. tornado warnings around albany and north of albany. two reported. damage with those as well. intense storms there. that's going to clear out today. should be a decent day across the northeast. we're watching development of tropical storms. this has a 50/50 shot at becoming a cycl good sunday morning. i'm lisa argen. the view from our sutro tower

arthur arthur ashe stadium in new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. since the u.s. open was founded in 1881 it's never been canceled. officials are making clear that streak will not be broken. this year is different. no fans. no fancy food. organizers working to make sure safety is a top priority. the courts are set for a u.s. open unlike any in the tournament's 139-year history. covid-19 forcing organizers to close the event to fans. normally numbers in the hundreds of thousands, blocking to see the world's top tennis pros compete. the pomp and circumstance replaced by safety protocol. players sequestered in a bubble. tested twice in their first 48 hours. then every four days after. >> we know that millions of tennis fans around the world are starved for this. >> reporter: notable stars like

the court. ibm will blast crowd noise from last year's matches into the empty arthur ashe stadium. billy jean king said in life champions adjust. guys? >> i love what she said dash d dare a -- and i want to one. coming up the shocking loss of chadwick boseman. we learn more about colon cancer and the big programming announcement you won't want to miss. college in the era of covid-19, where the virus is hitting hard and where football games started up again overnight. meet the so-called kid superintendent. look how cute he is. how he's inspiring students when "gma" comes back.
