south texas, one of the nation's hot spots. >> we certainly didn't need this especially after you know going through a pandemic, what we're going through now. >> reporter: tonight hanna is a tropical storm. the concern now is for life threatening flooding as the storm moves inland. some areas could get as much as 18 inches and if shelters had to open, that would be problematic amid the pandemic. jamie? >> yuccas: very troubling. janet, thank you. tonight president trump has returned to washington after spending the weekend at his new jersey golf club. for millions of americans these are desperate times. infections are spreading and deaths adding up. and for those looking for a new relief check from washington, it could be awhile. paula reid has the latest. >> reporter: president trump did not wear a mask today as he greeted supporters at an intersection near his bedminster new jersey golf club though he

did maintain his distance. his top advisors were back on capitol hill today working on what to do about federal jobless benefits congress approved in april. $600 per person per week which are about to expire. white house chief of staff mark meadows said tomorrow the republicans will unveil a proposal to extend that benefit at a reduced amount. >> we are going to be prepared on monday to provide unemployment insurance extension that would be 70% of whatever the wages you were prior to being unemployed. >> reporter: house democrats passed a bill two months ago to extend the $600 payment through january. house speaker nancy pelosi told "face the nation" sunday the republicans new formula is too complicated. >> figuring out 70% of somebody's wages people don't all make a salary. maybe they do, they make wages. and sometimes they have it varied. so why don't we just keep it simple. >> reporter: but the administration says the full

tracker polls out today show former vice president joe biden leading president trump by six points in michigan while the president has a point edge over biden in nearby ohio. cbs news political correspondent ed o'keefe joins us now, thanks for being here, what patterns are you taking away from these numbers? >> jamie, they once again tell us that voters remain very concerned about the pandemic, especially parents who concerned about kids going back to school. who say the president doesn't care about their children. and the poll finds that most americans support the aims of ongoing protests and the black lives matter movement. but let there be no doubt, right now this is joe biden's contest to lose. and yet these polls out of michigan and ohio especially reinforce that his lead is tenuous. more people are voting this year against president trump, not necessarily for biden. and several polls out today from various organizations show that the president's supporters are more enthusiastic about supporting him than biden's supporters are. >> yuccas: interesting info there.

well, ed, a hundred days to go but just a hundred days ago the president was doing much better and bernie sanders was just exiting the race. it seems much longer than that. what are the turning points moving forward? >> sure, the big one is biden's running mate. he is set to pick a woman. he says he is doing exhaustive reviews of the backgrounds of several picks and we anticipate an announcement in early august. both parties are scaling down their conventions as well. the president abruptly cancelled the republican meeting in jacksonville, after moving his acceptance speech in search of loser coronavirus restrictions. and biden still expects to accept the nomination in milwaukee. we expect the president and biden will debate each other three times this fall. any of those events could dramatically change the-- contest. >> yuccas: could, and absentee ballots in some states go out in just under 50 days. ed o'keefe, thank you. there is no end in sight to the pandemic. for a fifth straight day more than a thousand people in this country died from the virus. and it could get worse. lilia luciano has more.

richmond, virginia, thousands turned out demanding the removal of the federal agents deployed to several cities. here's meg oliver. >> reporter: heavily armed local police and federal agents on seattle streets in one of the nation's most intense protests saturday, pepper spray, guns fire, screams. the violence exploded in several cities, here in austin, texas, one person was killed when gunfire broke out during a black lives matter protest. in aurora, colorado, when this jeep bore down on a group of protestors, someone fired a weapon wounding a bystander. and in richmond, virginia, police and protestors faced off. one group torched a truck, police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. much of this sparked by anger at president trump's deployment of federal forces sent to portland over the objections of local officials. >> it's not right.

and what they are doing up there, deploying federal troops, snatching people off the streets! >> reporter: president trump supporters say it is about law and order. >> and if the mayors in those towns are too politically timid to address people who are defacing and destroying their city, than the president of the united states has to deal with it. >> reporter: democrats see a contradiction. >> somehow wearing a mask is an infringement of your personal liberties and freedom but sending in paramilitary groups uphold american values? >> reporter: almost two months after the killing of george floyd nightly protests are a fixture in many american cities and now with revived anger. jamie. >> yuccas: meg, thank you. today in selma, alabama, the body of congressman john lewis crossed the edmund pettus bridge for the final time. michelle miller is there. >> reporter: the bridge edmund pettus is quite unremarkable. four lanes, 1300 feet. but its historic symbolism is powerful. and powerful it was today, as the architect of that symbolism,

john robert lewis made his final crossing. on a horse-drawn casson lewis was carried across the alabama river on his way to montgomery. the march's intended destination on that bloody sunday in 1965. brown chapel ame church served as the rallying point that day and it's where his friend and congresswoman teri sewell led today's final prayer service in selma. >> john was determined to fight for equality and justice. >> people of all stripes lined the street to say farewell and holler. >> good trouble! >> cheyenne webb has a tortured history with the bridge, as an 8 year old she was the youngest marcher that day. >> reporter: what does it mean for you to be here today. >> it's going to be a sad moment but he has laid the foundation for us to continue to work. one of the things that we must do is stand up, get up, and continue to fight.
