first lady melania trump will be making her first campaign appearance of 2020 and vice president mike pence keeps up his campaign schedule despite that covid outbreak. and last night at the white house, the swearing in of new supreme court justice amy coney barrett before a large socially distanced crowd in masks that did echo to some degree her nomination one month ago, which turned out to be a superspreader event. not masks in evidence that time. barrett locks in a solid conservative majority on the court. senior white house correspondent cecelia vegas starts us off. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning. this one is being called a do-over of that superspreader event. last night, there were those precautions in place this time around. president trump who loves a good tv production got exactly that overnight with exactly one week to go until election day. even amid a second white house coronavirus outbreak, hundreds gathering overnight to witness judge amy coney barrett sworn in as a supreme court justice. >> i, amy coney barrett, do solemnly swear.

>> reporter: but her confirmation cements washington's bitter partisan divide. democrats accusing republicans of hypocrisy after they blocked president obama's nomination of judge merrick garland eight months before the 2016 election claiming it was too close to election day. and now, as more than 64 million people have already cast their ballots, no justice in history has ever been confirmed this close to a presidential election. barrett's rose garden announcement last month considered a superspreader event. more than a dozen people in attendance later testing positive for the virus including the president and first lady. with five members of his inner circle contracting covid-19 recently, vice president mike pence not there this time around. but democratic rival joe biden blasting the entire event as irresponsible. >> there's a lot of things we can be doing having massive crowds but the fact is that it's just not appropriate now.

stretch the electoral map while the president remains largely focused on those critical states that handed him the white house. one week to go and president trump is desperate to change the subject, but joe biden not letting up, hammering him on the pandemic. >> the bottom line is, donald trump is the worst possible president, the worst possible person, to try to lead us through this pandemic. i don't think -- he just doesn't have any idea what to do or he just doesn't care. >> reporter: while trump insists on painting a rosy picture. >> we're rounding the turn. >> reporter: it may be too late to change the course of the race. already across the country more than 64 million ballots have been cast, 46% of all the votes counted in 2016. up in the polls biden is campaigning in georgia today, in iowa later this week trying to expand the electoral map and flip states trump won in 2016. >> i think we have a fighting chance in north carolina and in georgia. we have a fighting chance in iowa. >> reporter: while trump is campaigning in nearly a dozen

on to say of those comments from kushner, according to the trump administration, when african-americans find fault in policies that have led to historic unemployment for black families, an explosion of racial inequalities and wealth gap and uncontained global pandemic that has taken the life of over 45,000 black americans, it means that we just don't want to be successful badly enough. michael, clearly understandably a lot of outrage and frustration over these comments. >> oh, yeah, i understand it completely. thank you so much. appreciate that. george will anchor our live coverage of election night with our powerhouse political team at election headquarters in new york, d.c. and delaware, plus, we'll have correspondents reporting live from battleground states across the country. that is on tuesday, november 3rd starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern. robin? >> all right, michael. and with coronavirus emergency cases surging across the country, 44 states reporting an increase, cities and states are reimposing restrictions. marcus moore is in el paso, texas, where hospitals there are at capacity. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: robin, good

new jersey's largest city, newark, reinstating an 8:00 p.m. curfew starting tonight for nonessential businesses to try to stop the spread. >> it seems desperate but it's a desperate moment. we got through this before so we'll get through it again. >> reporter: with as many as 62,000 new cases reported monday, dr. anthony fauci warns the u.s. is currently in the midst of the worst numbers the country has seen so far and says because the country never got the numbers under control we could still be in the first wave of the pandemic. >> i look at it more as an elongated and exacerbation of the original first wave. we never really cleared and got down to a low baseline. no matter how you look at it it's not good news. >> reporter: on a call with reporters, testing guru admiral brett giroir says he still hopes the country can get ahold of the pandemic but only if people follow the rules. >> i think we can control the pandemic by these simple measures, but it's really important that we stick to them. >> reporter: back here in texas,

state officials have sent -- brought in hundreds of doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists to the hospitals to treat the surge of patients who have been flooding those hospitals and there's a curfew in place here in el paso and in other cities across the country and officials hope it will flatten the curve. >> that is the hope, marcus. thank you. coming up speaking of that how one state has managed to keep the virus under control, the lowest positivity rate in the nation. george? >> okay, robin. we go to philadelphia now where demonstrators took to the streets overnight after police shot and killed a man armed with a knife. eva pilgrim has the story.

residents say there were better options. >> they could have used a taser and shot him in the leg. >> why was the fact that the first thing them officers did was pull their weapon on that man? >> reporter: the philadelphia police commissioner on the scene to hear their frustrations saying the video of the shooting raises questions that need answering. >> i'm here to listen. i don't have answers for what happened today. it just happened. >> reporter: and that unrest not over yet. this video from philadelphia a short time ago showing looting still happening this morning. as for that shooting, it's still under investigation. those two officers that were involved, they have been placed on desk duty pending the outcome of that investigation. robin? >> all right, eva, thank you. we turn to the hurricane warning for the hard-hit gulf coast after tropical storm zeta made landfall in mexico overnight. the governor of louisiana declaring a state of emergency. rob is tracking the very latest. he's there in new orleans for us this morning. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning,

him. raniere hadn't spoken publicly since he was convicted of sex trafficking, racketeering and conspiracy charges last year. >> this call is from -- >> keith raniere. >> an inmate at a federal prison. >> reporter: but this weekend, with the help of followers who still support him, he released a podcast from behind bars saying he is just trying to do good. >> you know, you have the people, the gandhis, the martin luther kings, all those great people of the world and, you know, i'm nowhere, nowhere near that in what i've been able to achieve. yeah, in this particular case, i'm given a spotlight that is far greater than my personhood. >> reporter: and that he's not the devil some people think he is. >> women have been treated terribly in this country, and in the world, but in particular in this country by people of power, by people like me, but that doesn't mean that i did those

things and it certainly doesn't mean that i'm guilty of these charges. >> reporter: many of raniere's former followers will be inside the courtroom to deliver victim impact statements to the judge including india oxenberg, daughter of catherine oxenberg, who spent seven years in the group. in her first interview since breaking free from the so-called guru she told us she was brainwashed, branded with his initials and coerced into a relationship with him. >> i'm planning to speak at his sentencing. i need that closure. >> do you know what you're going to say? >> i have a written statement that i've been paining over and over and then i woke up a couple of days ago at 4:00 a.m. and just wrote something out that came -- it just flew out of me and i felt like that's what i need to say so i'm planning on saying that. >> now, five other nxivm leaders including actress allison mack were charged along with raniere.

one was recently sentenced to more than six years in prison, mack and the others don't have sentencing dates yet, but it will certainly be an emotional and powerful day in court today. >> thank you, amy. we return now to the coronavirus crisis as new cases surge nationwide. maine has managed to keep cases relatively low and still has the lowest positivity rate in the nation. this despite having the oldest population in the country. stephanie ramos is in portland where she's going to tell us how they're doing it. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: robin, good morning. a civil state of emergency was declared here in maine in march within three days of the first recorded covid case and it's still in effect as the number of covid cases holds steady. while much of the country is still seeing a surge in covid-19 cases, maine, which has the country's oldest population, has the lowest covid infection rates. the state's covid-19 test

positivity rate averaging roughly 1.21% is the lowest in the nation. in comparison equally rural north dakota has a rate more than ten times higher with roughly 60% of the population of maine and a younger population with an average age of 35. >> we saw covid-19 coming from the end of december, early january when the global health experts began to warn of what was happening. we had a plan. >> reporter: governor janet mills mandated face coverings in public spaces and issued stay-at-home orders in april. people listened. schools in maine have so far managed to keep their infection numbers in check. in portland, the state's largest school district, schools are using a combination of in-person and remote online learning. of the 5700 kids rotating into classes two days a week, the school district has had one covid case. >> the infection happened outside of school and we did not

have any close contacts that tested positive. >> reporter: as far as the economy, maine's tourism industry is down, especially in towns heavily dependent on canadian tourists, maine's hotel, bars and restaurants are expected to lose more than a billion dollars in revenue this year. robin. >> all right, stephanie, thank you. joining us live now is a man behind maine's covid response dr. nirav shah, the director of the maine center for disease control. thank you so much, dr. shah, for being with us. we heard in stephanie's report how well your state is doing. please tell us what have been the keys to that, doing that so well? >> well, good morning, robin. thank you so much for having me on. i am so delighted and proud to talk about the work that my colleagues across the state of maine have done and that maine people have done. i think the keys to some of the favorable positions that we find ourselves in are a few.

the first is that science means something in maine. when we at the state level advised and asked people to follow best scientific principles like wearing a mask and staying six feet apart, people across the state did so. science really does mean something here. the second is that our early preparation put us in a good and favorable footing to handle the surge of cases later. before our first case in maine, we had already started distributing ppe to health care providers. we had already started working with the health care community to prepare for the onset of cases and we built a significant and massive testing architecture that allowed us to keep that positivity rate at what you noted is right now one of the lowest in the country. one of the things that we know in public health is that what is predictable is preventible. we knew what was coming and we made sure that we were ready for it. >> household transition -- transmission is of great concern, i know, there in maine and all across the country as

well and with the holidays approaching and families gathering, what is your advice? >> robin, you know, this is such a bewildering time for everybody and as we go into the colder months, we know even in maine let alone in other states that much more transmission is occurring in places that were previously seen as safe havens. our kitchen table, our living room, our workplace, our houses of worship are now places where there are risks of transmission. what we recommend to folks as we go into the holiday season, as we go into the colder months, is to take the same steps you would have taken at a restaurant or bar, to make sure that you're wearing a mask, to make sure that you know who you're inviting over to your place, to make sure that even when indoors you maintain physical distance. as we go into the holiday, those are concrete things that everyone can do to prevent covid-19 from becoming the uninvited guest at every one of your holiday gatherings.

>> well put. dr. shah, thank you so much for being with us this morning and all the best to you. continued success there in maine with how you're dealing with covid-19. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> all right, michael. robin, coming up next the latest on the hunt for those murder hornets and the big concern about what scientists didn't find. t scientists didn't find.

in taking the plunge, budget. financial expert, author and podcast host patrice washington says that's an important consideration before moving back out. >> you want to make sure that before you venture back out there, you're doing it with a clean slate, as much savings as you possibly can have but absolutely the minimum amount of debt, because if not, all we're creating is a revolving door. the minute something happens, you pack it on up and come back home. >> reporter: so how could you avoid that revolving door? tip one, aim for ten months of savings. >> savings is a muscle that we all have to build. and so if you have to start at $20 a week, don't laugh at that. create small milestone goals. >> reporter: tip two, don't rush it. >> for many, it could take at least 12 months to just make sure that you have adequate savings, that you pay down debt and that you are truly prepared to go back out into the world. >> reporter: and tip three, create a realistic budget. >> look at all the line items of

things you owe right now, but also what you want to be paying for in the future, such as a new apartment or home. then make sure you start saving for that today. >> reporter: and three apps to help you do just that, mint, good budget and true bill. robin? >> those are three good ones. okay, rebecca, thank you. have a great day. and tomorrow expert tips for moms returning to the workforce. let's go to a working mom, to ginger. hey, ging. >> reporter: good morning, hi, robin. yes, working and a mom this morning and working on zeta which now is moving off the yucatan peninsula into the gulf of mexico headed for the gulf coast and looks like it could be louisiana's fifth landfalling storm of the season. pretty incredible. what that would mean for new orleans, gulfport, mississippi, pascagoula, two to six feet of surge, two to six inches of rain. the only good news, it moves good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike

kelly and ryan is coming up. >> jessica capshaw joi ♪ i'm going to love you different ♪ welcome back, everybody. we're so glad you are with us on this tuesday morning. >> we are so excited for our next guest, "star wars" fans are as well. we'll hear what the mandalorian has to say, the man behind the mask. please welcome pedro pascal. pedro. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. good morning. >> good morning. and, you know, we hear that you're using your role as the mandalorian as leverage with your friends and their kids. tell us about that. >> it's really working. i get the toys before they hit the stands. i might get in trouble for admitting this. [ laughter ] anyway, i definitely gain a lot of points with my friends by,

you know, having the mandalorian items for their kids because all of their kids seem to want them. it's like -- it's not like before where i would find something for my nephews and their reaction would be like, oh, thanks, that was last year. [ laughter ] you know? now it's a win every time. >> do you keep any of it for yourself? >> i actually haven't. i really enjoy giving them away. trust me, i'm not a good person. but i really, really enjoy being in the favor of my friends' children. >> so we didn't get to see your face until the final episode last year. going to see more it of this year? >> you know, i can't remember. whenever i -- >> oh! >> whenever i get asked

questions like this, interesting programming occurs where all of a sudden i just see, you know, snow. >> you can go for i can't hear you. that's a good one too. >> yeah, i can't -- i didn't get that question. we don't have much time. you'll have to ask me the next one. >> what can you share with us about season two? >> you know, i will say that reading the first episode of the second season, i was taken aback in a really good way at how impressive the first episode read and already with the evidence of the first season knowing that they were able to achieve everything that they set out to and seeing this incredibly ostentatious first episode with the story of an action sequence and the way that it read on the page and just

that feeling that my gosh, they're going to achieve this visual experience like this isn't just let's just describe it as best as we can and see what we end up achieving with it. it is, you know, undoubtedly going to be achieved and i kind of couldn't believe that and i understood, oh, so this is how they keep it up with the second season. this is how they, you know, don't disappoint. >> never disappointing. >> not saying anything but i'm telling you it's a good thing. >> well done. >> you know, the other breakout star of the series is the child also known as baby yoda, so what was it like the first time you saw your co-star? >> this baby is beautiful and the details on the child are incredible. we're talking about this adorable like peach fuzz hair on the tips of its ears and you'd

be surprised. he is an incredible scene partner. the industrial light and magic, the effects team that worked the puppet in the scene with me, you wouldn't believe what they were able to do. at one point -- and i'm not sure if it'll be in the final cut, but i improvised a line at the start of the scene and i said basically, you know, don't get too close to the fire. i just said don't get too close and baby yoda like turned its head and reacted to me and like moved away from that and that wasn't even in the writing so there i am improvising with baby yoda. >> that's something. you're also in the new "wonder woman 1984" movie. can you tell us -- you're playing a villain in that. what was that like? >> i was -- it was -- it was heaven. it was one of the best times

i've ever had on a job. patty jenkins, gal godot, kristen wiig, chris pine, it was an experience that i'll never forget. i think there's always such a human side to everything that patty does so even role of villain is to be unexpected in this one where you -- as soon as you sort of think that you'll be getting, you know, the portrait of the evil, you know, snake oil salesman from the '80s, there's more to it, and that's only one of the many exciting things about that movie that i am just desperate for people to see. it's a good one. it's a really good one. >> we sure are looking forward to it. thanks for joining us. season two of "mandalorian" -- >> it was such a pleasure. >> season two of "the mandalorian" premieres friday only on disney plus. revealing our november book club pick. plus, chef marcus samuelsson will join us live with classic

soul food dishes you can make at home. in california, we're the only state where wealthy trust fund heirs get their own tax loophole. these tax cheats avoid millions in taxes on vacation homes and coastal mansions depriving our schools. prop 19 closes this unfair loophole that's been exploited by an elite few and helps our schools, firefighters, and seniors. vote 'yes' on prop 19. tell them [record scratch] the party's over.

but catching up. we do have another programming note for you. the new season of nat geo account city so real" explores how chicago faces the challenges of the pandemic while undergoing an historic shake-up in city hall. it premieres this accuweather. good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. you see the red flag that's for our hills and mountains. it's going to be warm with 70s and 80s everywhere. it's time to get cooking. chef marcus samuelsson -- you can tell i'm already enjoying what he prepared. he has a new cookbook out called "the rise: black cooks and the soul of american food." he is joining us from his restaurant in harlem joining us with a delicious recipe.

marcus, i could not wait. in the commercial break our fabulous crew put your dish out here in front of us and you can tell mine -- you can hear the plate at the bottom of it. congratulations on this beautiful, beautiful new book, marcus. it's more than a cookbook. it's really talking about the culture of food. what inspired you to write it? >> well, you know, i just wanted to celebrate black excellence when it comes to cooking. the way we understand it through music, for example, right, there's so many incredible voices in the black space in terms of america's food that this deserves to be broadcast and share those stories. so, this is the time to rise. this is the time to learn about black chefs in america on a broader scale because black chefs, black cooks have contributed so much to american foods and i just wanted to share that story.

>> so glad you decided to do that. so share with us what you are preparing today. >> yes, i'm doing my son -- i call it zaza's favorite pasta. he might not eat all those spices but he likes the shape of the pasta and likes to throw it around and this kind of like is a blend between my wife's journey and us being here in america so the chicken stew is from ethiopia, spicy, adds beautiful spice to it but -- anyone can cook down chicken thighs and add them in like a bolognese sauce. i add in sweet potato. if you can't find the spice, do it with smoked paprika or the spice that you enjoy. >> right. >> it's just a nice fun pasta dish and hopefully we'll get him to eat it, not just play with

the food. >> that's true. well, how can you cut down on the cooking time, marcus? >> you know, it's really -- it's a leftover dish. roasted chicken, rip it apart. you can also shred the chicken and then just the cooking time goes down by two-thirds, you know, so it's really nice and quick. this is a difference, delicious dish. >> we know this. >> look at this. >> speaking of shredded chicken, michael is shredding his plate of chicken right now. it is delicious. had you a salad to go along with it, don't you, marcus? >> exactly. we have this beautiful collard green salad that has grapefruit and pears and super delicious with grape vinaigrette, you know, so the food, to eat something heavier for the holidays you want a clean, nice, fresh salad as well. >> nice and light. what is the dressing? it's really light. >> yeah, yeah, it's a nice coconut dressing. you know, we have to -- so much of our food that's in america

that came from the continent, coconut is one of the ingredients that you can use coconut milk to make a nice vinaigrette. >> yes, you can. so what do you want people picking up your book to get out of it, marcus? >> yeah, you know, we have such an incredible country, multi-cultural and the black experience when it comes to food has added so much and in a time like this, robin, when we have this incredible nationwide conversation about race, identity and culture, what would be better than to cook from it. you don't have to be african-american to cook from it. the family, as a family going into the holidays, you can cook from "the rise" and learn about other chefs in your community that is part of this because this experience is our america. it's our experience as america. >> that is beautifully put. there is something about being around the table when you're with your family and having conversations and inviting others in at an appropriate distance. all right, marcus samuelsson, thank you so very, very much. >> good to see you, marcus.

i stopped eating long enough to say hello. >> the best holidays to you. > just long enough. you can go these recipes on our website, goodmorningamerica.com and his new book, "the rise: black cooks and the soul of american food" is available now. what's coming up next. >> kelsea ballerini joins us live. you don't want to miss that. >> you don't want to miss this

you it was like the plan all along to do this double album and kind of split my name in half in the whole thing. it wasn't. it was kind of my pivot. you know, i put out "kelsea" the album, march 20th, kind of the week the world shut down and i couldn't change those circumstances and obviously i wish i could but i made the album to sound big and ready to tour and like i wanted it to sound like there would be confetti cannons and the whole thing and everything changed and so i needed to find a way to fall back in love with this body of work that i worked really hard on for a long time and stripping it down and making it sound less like an arena show and more like a living room with your friends and a glass of wine was my way of falling back in love with it and i love it differently, more in some ways and it's been a real gift. >> hopefully sooner than later you can get back on tour and do what you love to do, but, you know, your work has not gone unnoticed. npr called you one of the most influential women in country

right now. so does that make your job easier or harder? >> probably both. i mean i think it probably puts -- i put a little pressure on myself with that kind of recognition, but, you know, at the same time like the women that i grew up listening to were strong and they were pushing boundaries and they were challenging, you know, those boundaries and i want to be like that i want to be someone that is influential in all those way, not just with my music but what i stand for and so i take a lot of pride in that. >> and we can tell this shows up on your albums and really appreciate you taking the time with us and now you're going to perform for us. off her new album, "ballerini," this is kelsea ballerini performing "love and hate." ♪ ♪ there's a thin, thin line
