please wear a mask and stay safe and remember, if it's sunday it's "meet the press."remember, june, winning 87% of the vote. his wife lillian died on new year's eve in 2012 it's "meet the press." they're survived by their son, ♪ ♪ jo john john lewis, dies at 80 years old. president trump defends his let's get a check of the weather. good morning, bill. handling of the coronavirus >> good morning, yasmin. pandemic in a new wide-ranging 90 degrees in one spot is not the same as 90 degrees in interview and says he will eventually be right about his another, and that's mostly claim that the virus will because of the humidity. disappear. also new reporting that the trump administration is pushing to block billions of dollars in you can feel it out there. funding that would go toward this is the dew point map. this will show you whether coronavirus testing and tracing. >> and republicans begin to you're comfortable or miserable. break ranks over trump's miserable is in florida through response to the virus. the coastal carolinas and the some are working around the president, and others are mid-atlantic you notice it's all through ignoring or even contradicting his pronouncements areas of texas up through st. louis. just very uncomfortable air. because of that the temperatures

don't drop at night. the heat builds up that's why we have heat good monday morning, advisories and heat warnings all everybody. it is july 20th, and i'm yasmin the way through the mid-atlantic vossoughian. area and southern new england. we're going to begin with the worst weekend yet for new cases this afternoon it will peak in of the coronavirus here in the areas of the carolinas and also united states. according to nbc news data, the through the mid-atlantic so how hot will it feel? u.s. added more than 206,000 new remember, these temperatures are taken in the shade, and then we cases over the past three days, factor in the humidity to give us what we call the heat index including a record 75,000 new it will feel at the max today cases on friday alone. like 111 around norfolk, indiana, kentucky, louisiana, south carolina all broke their virginia beach, the same in single-day records for new cases yesterday. as cases are continuing to pile washington and new york city the heat and humidity will break a little bit in the northeast tomorrow, but later on today, up, fox news' chris wallace also in the south, this is kind of what you expect almost every confronting the president with single day his claim that the virus would and by tuesday we're going to continue to watch that heat and disappear. >> it's one person coming in humidity especially through the from china, and we have it under carolinas and the south. i mention we get a little bit of control. it's going to be just fine. a break from the humidity on tut in new york, but it >> when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days won't be as humid. is going to be down to close to later on this week, notice we cool off slightly by the time we zero, that's a pretty good job get to thursday and friday

we've done. >> i think we're going to be very good with the coronavirus not too worried about storms a few in the dakotas and i think that at some point that's going to sort of just disappear, i hope. hit-and-miss in the atlantic >> i'll be right eventually. this the s the time of year you hope there will be a downpour in i'll be right eventually going to disappear mid-afternoon to give a break in the heat. it's going to disapeernlt pear >> yeah. it cools everything off. still ahead t president tries to turn his campaign eventually i've been right probably more against masking. than anybody else. >> so the president and fox news' chris wallace also got also joe biden with a warning into a tussle over the u.s. about russia as we head closer coronavirus mortality rate. >> but, sir, we have the seventh to the 2020 election we're back in a moment we♪ highest mortality rate in the world. our mortality rate is higher ♪won't wait♪ ♪we're taking everything we wanted♪ than brazil, it's higher than ♪we can do it russia, and the european union ♪all strength, no sweat has us on a travel ban. >> yeah, what i think we'll do -- we're on a travel ban, too, -always have been. -and always will be. never letting anything get in my way. chris. i closed them off. not the doubts, when you talk about mortality distractions, rates, i think it's the or voice in my head. opposite i think it's one of the lowest and certainly not arthritis.

would you consider -- will you consider a national mandate that people need to wear masks? >> no. i want people to have a certain freedom, and i don't believe in that, no and i don't agree with the statement that if everybody wears a mask, everything disappears dr. fauci said don't wear a mask our surgeon general, terrific guy, said don't wear a mask. as you know, masks cause problems too with that being said, i'm a believer in masks. i think masks are good but i leave it up to the governors. many are changing the more masks into they like the concept of masks, but some of them don't agree. >> so on "meet the press" yesterday, dr. francis collins, the director of national institutes of health, weighed in on the mask debate, arguing that face masks aren't optional in the fight to stop the spread of

coronavirus. >> imagine you were an alien coming to the planet earth, looking around, looking at the scientific data, going from place to place to see who's wearing a mask you'd be totally astounded, puzzled, amazed. you you'd wonder what's going on here how is it that it seems to attach to people's political party. >> so as president trump continues to ignore the coronavirus crisis, republicans are beginning to break ranks from the white house's demands once steadfast gop leaders are running counter to the wishes. some of the governors have been holding late-night phone calls amongst themselves to voice grievances they've sought out others other than the president and vice president mike pence

here's what the governor of arkansas had to say about the administration's response. welcome back, everybody. >> do you have confidence given i'm yasmin vossoughian the fact that we're basically we're going to begin this half right back to square 1 hour with president trump >> you know, i think people look repeating his long-standing frustration with the higher frankly to the governors levels of testing across this country. historically during that interview with chris we look to governors to deal with crisis, whether it's wallace, the president downplayed the severity of the tornado damage, flood, pandemic. pandemic and claimed the united we look to governors. states has higher numbers compared to other countries >> i understand you say people because they don't test. look to governors, but you sort of ducked the question here. do you have confidence in the president and his leadership on this virus right now >> i have confidence in this >> i can tell you the death administration we're on the phone call every chart is 1,000 a day. >> excuse me week, every governor, democrats it came from china and republicans, sometimes twice they should have never let it escape they should have never let it a week with the vice president the vice president has been out, but it is what it is. take a look at europe. doing an absolutely phenomenal take look at the numbers. job in leading that. >> we need to wear a mask. >> 6,000 in the whole european that example needs to be set by union. >> they don't test they don't test like we do. our national leadership. >> is it possible they don't have the virus as badly as we we put in mask mandates based do >> it's possible they don't upon the circumstances of our test that's what's possible state. not popular. it's not something we want to we find cases.

and many of those cases heal do it's not the first lever we automatically. pull, but it is one that when we're finding -- in a way, we're the data says it's necessary, we creating trouble do it. certainly we're creating trouble for the fake news to come along >> so meanwhile republican and say, oh, we have more cases. look we did something that nobody's senator ben sass of nebraska has ever done. also been critical of the trump not only the ventilators where administration, telling the we're supplying them all over the world. "times" this, i want more we did a testing program t likes briefings, but more importantly, of which nobody's ever done i want the whole white house to before. >> all right so a new report by the "washington post" says the trump act like a team on a mission administration is trying to tackling the real problem. block billions of dollars to he went on to add, navarro's states for coronavirus testing and contact tracing in the upcoming coronavirus relief larry, moe, and curly bill according to the report, one person involved in the talks said senate republicans were junior-high slap fight this week is yet another way to undermine seeking to allocate $25 billion to states but that certain public confidence. administration officials want to zero out the testing and tracing money entirely the "post" continues, quote, let's talk about the mask some white house officials believe they have already mandate. the president has only wore a approved billions of dollars in assistance for testing and that

mask one time himself, but he some of that money remains falls short on issuing a unspent. nbc news confirms senate national mandate for wearing republicans are pushing back masks despite calls from the cdc against a white house attempt to block the funding. this agreement underscores the and top health experts what implications does this worsening fracture between a president who wants to downplay mixed messaging have the seriousness of the crisis >> i think wait communicates to many people in his base, who i and a republican party that sees believe he thinks he is its grip on power slipping away in the face of a failure to responding to, is their contain the virus with testing individual freedoms are more important than what is good for and tracing key to any successful push to get this the public health. we saw early on when there were spread under control individuals who were protesting also in that interview with fox the lockdown orders. news yesterday, the president these are the americans the called the nation's top president thinks he's talking infectious disease expert dr. to, wanting to move across the anthony fauci an alarmist who he country and their communities claims provided faulty the way they want to information in terrell days of the pandemic we remember trump calling them some of his people >> dr. fauci told me not to ban but what we're now seeing is many of these people live in china, it would be a big states led by republican governors who are really upset mistake. i did it over and above his with washington's response to recommendation dr. fauci said you saved tens of this crisis because they're on the ground and they see how thousands of lives tough of a time many of their constituents are having that dr. fauci's made some mistakes, perhaps they wouldn't have had but i have a very good -- i

spoke to him yesterday at if washington was on the same length i have a very good relationship page as with something as simple as wear a mask of dr. fauci a little bit on alarmist >> so let's talk about also republican leaders breaking again, i have a great relationship with him. ranks here with the president dr. fauci said, don't worry over the white house's handling about this, this will pass, this of this pandemic will pass, he was wrong. is this at all in your sense a then he said -- precursor for what we can expect >> you make mistakes too. >> i guess everybody makes -- come november? >> it certainly could be if >> so the trump administration's failure to create a national things don't change, and i'd like to view it as a coronavirus response can continuation of what we've reportedly be trace badding to already seen from some key decisions made in april. republican lawmakers who appear according to interviews condu to be distancing themselves from conducted by "the new york times" with more than two dozen from the president and the white house as a whole from the officials inside the administration and the united national convention. states paired with emails and we're seeing leaders say this is not the world view, the approach documents previously reported details of the white house's to problem-solving, that we want to be identified with, aspirations to pin the especially if we're facing coronavirus as individual states' responsibility the "times" notes trump quickly re-election because there's a real fear voters will hold not came to feel trapped by his just donald trump and those in reopening guidelines while washington responsible but governors as well, and these are states needed declining cases to individuals who very often want

to keep their job and do the reopen that meant cases would jump. work they want to do and want to the result was, quote, to make a show they're doing right intensify trump's remarkable in the process. public campaign against testing, >> eugene scott in washington. a vivid example of how he often stay close, my friend. i want to talk to you more in a waged war with science and his little bit. still ahead, the latest on own administration's experts an the legal fight over the stated policiepolicies president releasing his tax meanwhile after helping to returns. he is not immune from criminal acquire 300,000 testing swabs during a conversation with investigations and donald trump calls dr. fauci governor gavin newsom's a little bit of an alarmist advisers, jared kushner made it after the recent outbreaks in clear the government's help the united states. would hinge on them doing him a those stories and a check of favor. your weather when we come back so through ancestry, according to newsom, newsom had to call donald trump and ask him for the swabs. governor newsom made the call as requested and later praised trump during that same day in a nurse conference giving trump credit for the substantial increase in supply headed to california joining me once again political

reporter for the "washington post," eugene scott. all right, eugene, let's break this down. have top republican lawmakers expected to meet with the president today to discuss the next round of covid aid funding. meanwhile we discussed the "washington post" report that revealed the white house is seeking to block funding, more covid testing and contact tracing. what could this mean for the next round of funding? >> right now it means we're going to be in a standoff until or unless significant changes are made today and i think what republican i discovered my great aunt ruth lawmakers are going to try to do is communicate to the president signed up as a nursing cadet that the extent of the crisis in for world war ii. she was only 17. their home states and why bring your family history to life like never before. contact tracing specifically and get started for free at ancestry.com more testing would be beneficial to the american public overall to life like never before. ♪ the challenge you're going to ♪all strength have is the president believes the more tests that happen, the ♪we ain't stoppin' believe me♪ ♪go straight till the morning look like we♪ more the numbers report that ♪won't wait♪ more people have been infected, ♪we're taking everything we wanted♪

and that hurts him but what he could do, according ♪we can do it to many of these people who are ♪all strength, no sweat trying to convince him to behavior differently is just implement some type of policy or walk to end alzheimer's alzheis everywhere.tion plan that could reverse the direction of where the virus is all of us are raising funds for one goal: taking the country, and that a world without alzheimer's and all other dementia. right there could improve what he's concerned about most, which because this disease isn't waiting, neither are you. is his perception in terms of go to alz dot org slash walk. how he's handling this whole situation. >> so while i have you, i want to discuss the passing of john so here's to the strong, who trust in our performance and comfortable, lewis, civil rights hero long-lasting protection. because your strength is supported by ours. you actually wrote about it in the "washington post." folks on both sides of the i'll depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. have been paying tributes to the blookentertainmentour experience: xfinity x1. congressman. but conservative lawmakers have opened themselves up to some it's the easiest way to watch live tv scrutiny over their actions on civil and voting rights, and you and all your favorite streaming apps. talk about that in your piece in plus, x1 also includes peacock premium at no extra cost. this baby is the total package. the "washington post." >> i do. we know that john lewis, a civil it streams exclusive originals, the full peacock movie library, rights icon, is perhaps best complete collections of iconic tv shows, and more. known for his work, trying to expand the right to vote yup, the best really did get better. this is something he and other magnificent. lawmakers have been working on

xfinity x1 just got even better, since the last day but when we say other lawmakers, with peacock premium included at no additional cost. no strings attached. for the most part nationally and locally, we mean democratic lawmakers. there's been disappointment with mitch mcconnell who spoke highly of lewis in his passing for not bringing the voting rights to the floor to be voted on after more than 200 days of being on his desk and so we're going to see accusations of, you know, symbolism and praise ringing hollow as we move forward this week, directed at conservatives who perhaps are not showing that they want to carry on the work of john lewis despite tweets saying they appreciate everything he did. >> it was a fantastic piece. i would urge everybody if they have the opportunity, they should read it the supreme court granted the "washington post," eugene scott, thank you as always manhattan's plan and rejected great to see you, my friend. still ahead, the president president's claim for absolut seems to sow doubt about immunity for a subpoena for eight years worth of tax

returns. chief robert said they could go november's doubt should he lose into it immediately allowing the the re-election. your first look at "morning joe" is back in a moment. i don't keep track of regrets and i don't add up the years, district court to advance even quicker. in a 7-2 ruling the justices decided trump doesn't have absolute immunity from legal cases, but in their decision they specified that he can still challenge the subpoena on the other grounds. while the president's legal team did not oppose the move, they have until july 27 to raise their new legal challenges to the subpoena joining me now msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos good morning, danny. great to see you on this monday but what i do count on... is boost high protein... morning. >> great to see you too. >> what do you make of the and now, there's boost mobility... supreme court's decision to fast ...with key nutrients to help support... track their earlier ruling to joints, muscles, and bones. acquire eight years of the try boost mobility, with added collagen. president's tax returns? >> it's not so much the supreme court's order but the request by with spray mopping to lock away debris and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. the manhattan d.a. keep in mind, this order would just vacuum, spray mop, and toss.

have gone into effect from the supreme court on august 3rd. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one pad. that's less than two weeks away. the question arises, what's the big rush why couldn't they wait the extra few days the answer could be within the lines of their request because the manhattan d.a. says the statute of limitations could expire and the president could get that temporary immunity that he claimed he had and the supreme court rejected that may be a bombshell itself because the manhattan d.a. may be conceding that the president and not just those people around him could be the target, a criminal targetof this crimina investigation, and with statute of limitations apparently coming up, they can't wait an additional 13 days august 3rd, the original deadline, is 13 days away from today. so they didn't want to wait that long there must be something in the works in front of that secretive grand jury.

>> so what do you make of that when you say there must be something really urgent? what do you figure that could feasibly be? >> therit that the manhattan d.a. just couldn't wait the 25 days that it normally takes for an order to just make its way back down from the supreme court to the court of appeals and district court means they must have something really urgent. otherwise, why go through all of these filings and big fight to get the benefit of as we stand here today 13 extra days at best if things get moving in the next few days, even less. so there must be a pretty good reason why they need to speed this up and avoid the expectation of statute of lemations, any deadlines in which to file criminal charges in their own filings, the d.a. says it could pertain to people

in the investigation or the president claiming this immunity by the way, the president still has the opportunity to argue the traditional arguments against the subpoena the only thing the supreme court said is it doesn't have any magical protection by vir you of welcome back being the president. he can challenge it like you, with recent polls showing him trailing joe biden, the me, or anybody else can challenge a subpoena president is suggesting he won't i can tell you the straight-up accept the results of the odds of challenging a subpoena november election if, in fact, are usually in favor of the he loses. >> in general, not talking about person issuing the subpoena and not the president and the november, are you a good loser regular joes who challenge it. >> all right danny cevallos, thank you as >> i'm not a good loser. i don't like to lose always i don't lose too off snoten. great to see you. still ahead, the lion of >> are you gracious? >> you don't know until you see. congress, remembering i think mail-in voting is going congressman john lewis we're back in a moment to rig the election, i really do. >> are you saying you won't accept the results of the (mom) come on, hurry up! election. >> i have to say, hillary clinton asked me the same thing. all systems go? >> no. i asked you in the debate. (mission control) 5 4 3 2... >> one of the things is the peaceful transition of power and

no matter how hard fought a and liftoff. campaign is, that at the end of (vo) audi e-tron. the next frontier of electric. the campaign, the loser concedes to the win e not saying get audi at your door remote necessarily you're going to be services through participating dealers. the lose ore the winner, but the cancer won't wait. loser concedes to the winner and that the country comes together it won't wait for appointments to open up in part for the good of the or test results to come back. country. are you saying you're not that's why at cancer treatment centers of america, prepared to adhere to that our world-class experts principle? give you the care you need, >> i'll keep you in suspense. when you need it. >> you know, chris -- with appointments in as little as 24 hours >> she's the one who never and rapid test results accepted it. >> i agree can you give the direct answer, to get you a personalized treatment plan. you will accept the election because cancer isn't just what we do, >> i have to see it's all we do. i have to see. i'm not going to say yes call today. i'm not going to say no. appointments available now. and i didn't last time either. >> also in that interview, the president continued to attack joe biden's mental acuity during the interview on fox news challenging the former vice president to take the same cognitive examination he did but chris wallace disputed the test as difficult.

>> in the fox poll they asked people who's more competent, who's sounder. biden beats you in that. >> i'll tell you what. let's take a test right now. let's go down. we live in the mountains so i like to walk. let's take a test. i'm really busy in my life; i'm always doing something. >> incidentally i took the test, too, when i heard you passed it. i'm not a person that's going to sit too long. in the morning, i wake up and the first thing i do it's not the hardest test. is go to my art studio. a couple came up and handed me a brochure on prevagen. the last picture is an elephant. >> these ooh all i've been taking prevagen for about four years. misrepresentation. yes, the first few questions are i feel a little bit brighter and my mind just feels sharper. easy, but i bet you couldn't i would recommend it to anyone. answer the last five questions they're very hard. it absolutely works. >> one was count back from 100 prevagen. healthier brain. better life. by seven. >> let me tell you you couldn't answer -- you count with spray mopping to lock away debris answer many of the questions. and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. >> what's the question >> i'll get you the test just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. i guarantee you joe biden could the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one pad. not answer those questions i answered all 35 questions correctly. >> so joe biden says russia is

working to interfere in this year's elections according to what he's receiving. biden said his concern about access to voting is what, quote, keeps me up at night, adding that, quote, china and others are engaged as well in activities that are designed for us to lose confidence in the outcome. but a campaign official clarified that the briefing biden reviewed was from his own they fell in love with itsusing irresistible scent. team of experts. a homeland security official looks like their dog michelangelo did too. announced, quote, compared to what we saw in 2016, we're not seeing that same level of gain ultra flings with two times oxi-boost and febreze. coordinated activity from cyber adversaries, but he's absolutely right for a disruptive attack by a capable adversary, so we have to be ready. okay let's check back in with nbc civil rights icon congressman meteorologist bill karins who has been tracking the covid john lewis died on friday after numbers for us as well it has been a really awful a months-long battle with weekend, let's just say it like cancer the longtime georgia congressman

that, when it comes to covid served in the united states house since 1987 where he was numbers. we're thinking about 200,000 sometimes referred to as the folks testing positive over the conscience of congress last three days or so. as the "atlanta >> yeah. journal-constitution" writes, we're still waiting to, you his moral clarity and unwaver know, hit the little crescendo here, hit the top of the wave or ing commitment to non-violence peak or crest, whatever you want to call it here's what happened yesterday on sunday. i know yasmin talked about the and the beloved community a total three-day numbers for democracy of racial, social, and friday, saturday, sunday economic equality infused every but just on sunday, 65,279 chapter of his life. lewis nearly died in 1965 after having his skull fractured by alabama state troopers on the that breaks the previous sunday edmund pettus bridge in selma and was the last surviving record by 7,000. we're going to hit the mark for speaker from the 1963 march on washington total number of cases. one of his final tweets on july you can see where we were back in april you can see the low decrease was 7th was accompanied by his around june 14th, and ever since mugshots after he was released then we've been spiking up so the new seven-day average is after being arrested in jackson, mississippi, for using a so-called white restroom during 68,680 per day the freedom riots in 1961. and i also want to look at where lewis announced in late december we are on the total testing.

he was undergoing treatmenfo fe we've had 48 million tests given. some have taken multiple tests the positive rate is 8%. it's not spiking up, but it is slowly rising up right now the current seven-day average is 791 comparable to last sunday with 412 new deaths so we're still waiting to see if that continues to go up as we continue to watch the new cases going up so as far as the week ahead forecast goes as advertised, the heatwave continues washington, d.c., a chance to hit 100 today for the first time since 2016 severe storms likely in the northern plains. we'll cool it off wednesday in the mid-atlantic and northeast with thunderstorms heat will build in the west. by the end of the week, it looks

welcome back despite frequently touting testing in the united states, the white house is attempting to block funding for testing and tracing. cnbc's julianna tatelbaum is joining us from london julianna, what's going on here >> the dynamic is pretty interesting. some white house officials report new money in the stim laws package shouldn't go toward

testing because previous funds remain unspent the trump administration is trying to use the funding for things unrelated to the pandemic according to the "washington post," they'd like to use funding for things like a new b i billing. some are pushing back on the administration to keep funding for testing and tracing in the bill so while washington is certainly a place to watch over the coming days on the back scene front, we've got a few developments today the uk has been very busy securing access to various vaccines that have yet to prove effective. this morning the uk became the first country toy a vaccine from a german company. it's being developed with pfizer they agreed to make 30 million

doses. at the same time vaccine from a french company which is less advanced in terms of the development but a different technique. so the uk government hedging their bets a bit and this is after securing 100 million doses from the vaccine by astrazeneca >> delta is making cuts to its pilots' paychecks in order to avoid massive furloughs. what more do you have on this? >> this sector we've been talking about for weeks now facing a huge number of potential job losses as the stimulus winds down. now delta is proposing a 15% cut pay for pilots in or furloughs down the line, in particular october 1st, which is

dollar -- trillions of dollars were poured into it, shutdown the economy, built the bridge and by september kids will be able to go to school and all the parents will be able to go to work of course, all of that is in doubt right now and as my colleagues put it, instead of a bridge, we built a pier. what went wrong? we blew it on public health, schools, and economics and listen to this one, we blew it on goodwill so many people sheltered down, locked down, wore masks, made sacrifices, so many people didn't, people who were essential workers went out and so many people went out without their masks. bottom line it didn't have to be this way.

>> it didn't with the hundreds of thousands of lives that have been lost because of covid let's switch gears and talk about your interview with mark zuckerberg he received backlash for allowing the president to post inflammatory messages on facebook you spoke with the ceo of facebook, what do you have to say? >> there's an idea because president trump uses facebook so aggressively in his campaign and to post his messages, there was this idea that mark zuckerberg and the white house had some sort of deal, that there was some sort of secret understanding. there's been a few private meetings, conversations, one dinner at the white house. mark zuckerberg told me, let me be clear, there is no deal he called the idea pretty ridiculous, and he pointed out all the ways he differed with

the white house. and why it matters is mark zuckerberg is becoming increasingly vocal about these differences. we saw him interviewing dr. anthony fauci last week expressing his contempt for the administration's coronavirus effort he has expressed, in the past, his objections to the president's immigration climate policy as general rhetoric so this is an ad boycott saying even though he supports free speech particularly in the political area he has big, big differences with donald trump. >> mike allen, thank you i'll be reading axios a.m. in a little bit, you too can sign up at axios.com that does it for me on this monday morning i'm yasmin vossoughian "morning joe" starts right now it's one person coming in from china and we have it under control. it's going to be just fine.

>> when you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a good job we've done. >> i think we're going to be good with the coronavirus. i think at some point that's going to just sort of disappear, i hope >> i'll be right eventually. i said it's going to disappear, i'll say it again, and i'll be right. >> does that discredit you >> i don't think so. you know why, because i've been right probably more than anybody else. >> we'll have a lot more of that coming up. good morning and welcome to "morning joe," it is monday july, 20th with us, we have joe and white house reporter for associated press al sharpton and

professor and editor jason johnson. back. >> anything happen over the weekend? >> my gosh, anything happen over the past two weeks quite a lot. i've got to say, though, the lead in "the washington post" about the chris wallace interview yesterday really laid it out and the description, trump was visually rattled and at times hostile as he struggled to answer for his administration's failure to contain the coronavirus which has claimed more than 137,000 lives in the united states. really, if you wanted to know what was going on, mika, in the chris wallace interview and the impact that it was having on donald trump and the impact it's had on donald trump's presidency since march, all you had to do

was read on and see, you know, joe biden's quote, the past six months have proven again and again it's donald trump that doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to covid-19, when it comes to the coronavirus you can't believe a word he said, it'll be easy to say that's what he's going to say because he's running against donald trump for the presidency. fortunately for republicans in the senate and donald trump, the overwhelming number of americans believe what joe biden is saying, and don't believe what donald trump is saying in the same newspaper, a growing number of americans disapprove of the handling of the pandemic, they found that only
