city. if you look hard enough, there's a new tropical storm formed far off the atlantic there. it will not impact the u.s. at all. just a fish storm. the democratic national convention, as you know, is two days away and historic one will be because as a zoom meeting. joe biden and kamala harris are riding high in the wave of their new ticket. the pair signing the paper work to receive the democratic nomination for president and vice president next week. >> we're going to be signing our request to get on the ballot in each of the states. we will start off by signing in delaware and the senator will sign in california. then you guys will get to the work and get all the states and territories. >> senator harris praising joe biden for choosing her in the first interview and the vice

presidential candidate. >> joe biden had the audacity to choose a black woman to be his running mate. how incredible is that? what a statement about joe biden. >> in the meantime, firestorm erupting over the conspiracy theory that was fueled by president trump that senator harris is not eligible to run for vice president. andrea mitchell has details on how that lie emerged and harris' response. >> reporter: kamala harris born in oakland, california in 1964. the daughter of immigrants and legally qualified to run for president or vice president. now her right to run with joe biden is being challenged by a racist birth eer conspiracy. starting with memes and fringe web sites. from a conservative lawyer who argued against the constitutional guarantee of birth right citizenship.

when asked, president trump praised the column. >> she doesn't meet the requirements. by the way, the lawyer that wrote that piece is a very highly qualified and talented lawyer. i have no idea if that is right. i would have assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice president. >> reporter: for years, president trump questioned barack obama's birth place. seen as a racist attempt to undermine obama's credibility. kamala harris signing documents and defected when asked about attacks from the president. he called her angry and used as a racist trope. >> i'm signing this because i'm in the race to win and with that guy right there. >> reporter: later, she praised biden for the audacity to choose a black woman. >> by joe asking me to be his running mate, he pushed forward something that might have

otherwise taken decades. >> reporter: the campaign is called birtherism abhorrent. aides promise they will respond aggressively to attacks against the first woman of color on a national ticket. kendis. >> thank you, andrea mitchell. for more on this, joining me is michael starr hopkins. he has also served on presidential campaigns of obama and hillary clinton. michael, good morning to you. obviously, having served on the two previous campaigns, you know the sort of op-po that would come out. is this expected? >> good morning. this is the trump playbook. president trump, then candidate and private citizen trump, used the same attack lines against obama that he is using now against kamala harris. questioning the citizenship and

legitimacy to hold office. this is racist. the idea of birtherism. this is pure racism. it is president trump and his administration showing it is scared of strong, black individuals. whether female or male. it is good to see the biden camp pushing back strongly and aggressively. >> senator harris is not taking the bait. ignoring the attacks from the president. you get a sense that is the right move to not give the baseless theories any are more oxygen? >> you know, you have to give them a balance. to some degree, the ignoring of the accusations of obama's presidency gave them some legitima legitimacy. i think they're smart to punch the trump team back in the mouth and move along the issues. >> it is interesting, michael. i'm sure you have seen videos. there are so many emotional reactions from black women and indian-american women and kamala

harris' being named to that ticket. she spoke a little bit more about what this all means and why it is so important for black women to vote. >> when you have one ticket that can say the phrase black lives matter and another who has been full-time sowing hate and division in the country. those are the things that motivate black women to vote. there will be a point of pride. you don't want to have false d modemo modesty of a black women to be on the ticket. it takes more than that to vote. >> they did raise quite a bit of money after she was named to the ticket. $48 million in 48 hours. it did causal of thoe all of th emotions for the black women across the country. >> black women are the most

consi consi consistent voters across the country for the democratic ticket. representation matters. for them to see a black woman now on a presidential ticket is something powerful. something they will never forget and the next generation of children will never think is impossible. >> "the washington post" reporting that the biden campaign plans to deploy harris to swing states and connect with voters and activists and suburban women and groups whose support for biden is far from guaranteed. you get a sense harris will rally the key voting blocks. she tried it as a presidential candidate. it did not work. why now? >> this is going to be different than a primary. democrats are united. there is a foil in donald trump and mike pence. so, what you see is the party rallying around together and

democrats rebuilding the obama coalition which was african-americans, latinos, suburban women and college educated men. we're seeing that in the nomination of kamala harris to the ticket. she has the ability to excite african-american women and bring in young progressives and suburban women who are running away from the trump administration at record rates. especially as he attempts to rig this election with the united states postal service and his lack of funding. >> a key voting block within the democratic party that is needed. elizabeth warren wing and bernie sanders wing. some suggest from the progressive wing of the party with harris picked. her record as a former prosecutor has been criticized as you know. we're in the midst of the middle of the movement centered around that in the country. do you get a sense that democrats will remain concerned

about this? >> you know, i think it is a conversation that needs to happen. as a former manhattan public defender, i know what it is like to work with prosecutors. prosecutors have a unique insight to the problems that affect our justice system every day. i think kamala harris' perspective is a key issue for the biden campaign in not allowing the trump campaign to turn it negative is something that kamala harris and her team have to aggressively push and respond to. >> michael, thank you. i appreciate it. next week, msnbc will have special live coverage of the dnc starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern time here on msnbc. 80 days before the election. your vote may be at risk. the u.s. postal service warning dozens of states it cannot guarantee mail-in ballots will

be processed in time to be counted. josh lederman is at the white house for us. josh, the president has resisted funding the postal service. what is he saying now? >> reporter: good morning, kendis. there were a few things in life we could get behind. baseball, apple pie and the post office. now the usps has been thrust in the middle of the raging fight over mail-in voting with president trump and democrats. the latest alarming development overnight are the letters that the post office's top leader said the timeline for voters requesting and returning absentee ballots. they may not be able to deliver back in time to be counted. questions if voters trying to vote by mail will be

disenfranchis disenfranchised. the postmaster general has been blamed for the delays with the cost cutting measures. whether those were about efficafieffec efficiency or an attempt to kneecap the post office. the postmaster general is looking into the issues. democrats say there is still some time to do something about this, kendis. they have been asking in the negotiations for $25 billion for the u.s. postal service and $3.5 billion for election resources as states across the country move rapidly toward mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic. president trump has repeatedly said he is opposed to the funding. acknowledging he doesn't want the funding for the post office. he knows democrats want to expand mail-in voting. take a listen when he was asked if he would support more money for the post office.

>> what i want is what the american people want. in addition to the executive orders that we signed which will be doing terrific things with payroll tax cut which is a lot of money coming to a lot of people quickly. i directed the secretary of the treasury to get ready and send direct payments. $3,400 for a family of four for all americans. democrats are holding this up. >> reporter: kendis, the president said he might be able to sign something that does include funding for the postal service if it was part of the deal with democrats in which the president and white house got a lot of what they have been asking for. including that payroll tax holiday that the president has been seeking. as far as getting any closer to a deal? the senate have all gone home through labor day. the house is not in washington. it is possible they could get called back to d.c. rapidly if

there were a deal. so far no signs the democrats and republicans are closer to a compromise. kendis. >> all of the lawmakers on paid vacation while there are so many americans suffering out there without a paycheck. josh lederman live at the white house. thank you. a fierce fast over mask requirements in georgia takes a major turn today. the governor will issue an order that may have his opponents breathing easier, but wondering what took you so long. what took you so long. as a dependent! because it's inanimate! people ask me what sort of a person should become a celebrity accountant. and, i tell them, "nobody should." hey, buddy. what's the damage? i bought it! the waterfall? nope! a new volkswagen. a volkswagen? i think we're having a breakthrough here! welcome to caesar's palace. thank you.

here's your iced coffee! ♪ america runs on dunkin' ♪ the story of black america is the story of america. it's the story of a people who have pushed this country to live up to its stated ideals. but black people have always believed in the promise of a better america. so, at this moment we're in now- we must choose to fight for that better america. and just like our ancestors who stood up to the violent racists of a generation ago, we will stand up to this president - and say 'no more'. because america is better than him. so we choose to be bigger, we choose to be bolder, we choose to bring back justice, respect and dignity to this country.

we choose joe biden... to lead us towards that american promise, together. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. there are so many toothpastes out there, which one should i use? try crest pro/active defense. it neutralizes bacteria for a healthier mouth than even the leading multi-benefit toothpaste. crest. we live with at&t and we are well past the honeocupado tom. at&t, what's this i hear about you advertising a 100% fiber network? only like a fraction of my customers can get that. that's it?!? you have such a glass half-empty attitude. the glass is more than half-empty! you need to relax tom. oh! tom, you need a little tom time. a little tt. stop living with at&t. xfinity delivers gig speeds to more homes than anyone.

now to the latest of coronavirus pandemic headlines. texas becoming the fourth state in the u.s. to surpass 10,000 covid-19 related deaths. this comes after a forecast from the cdc saying the death toll could reach 200,000 by labor

day. we learned the u.s. and canadian border will remain closed for another month. canada extending the ban on non-essential travel until september 21st. that said, that travel ban will likely not be lifted before the end of the year. in new jersey, reversal on school reopening. schools can choose the semester with the all-remote learning plan. this is after fripressure from teachers union. we have cori coffin with more. what does this mean for individual districts, cori? >> reporter: this means the individual districts come up with a plan whether or not they will be fully virtual learning or some portion of virtual for the fall. the governor originally saying he wanted all 2,500 public schools to reopen in person this

fall after a lot of pushback from the state's union and individual district iunions and hearing about teacher concerns. if a district qualifies, which means it has to prove it does not have ppe and ventilation and other challenges, then it can opt-in for virtual learning. that is the case in elizabeth. 375 teachers opted in. they had been immunocompromised or live with somebody who could be affected. now elizabeth will be 100% virtual learning. more and more states are doing that. this is a big win for anybody not vying for that and concerned about safety in schools this

fall. it presents challenges. parents having to work and make sure kids get school. will the kids be learning properly virtually and teachers working from home as well. take a listen to what three teachers told me. >> this city that we work in, many of our parents are economically disadvantaged. it is going to be very difficult for all parents to make the decision of staying home or going to work to support their families. >> i have four children of my own at home. i am going to be managing to care for my four children and educating my son and make sure my students have an education. >> what does the juggling of that look like? >> we will try to keep the school day as uniform as possible. i think everyone, teachers, parents and students, will have to take a step back and take a break throughout the day. >> our students rise to the

expectations. if we believe they can do it, they can do it. >> reporter: this is not a 100% virtual learning plan across the board. the governor still requiring a set plan in place to reopen and how they adequately and safely reopen. the teachers tell me they think it is a matter of time, kendis, before all of the districts opt-in to the virtual learning and all qualify for it. this is how easy it is to spread. they, themselves, interact with hundreds of people a day. students, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, security guards. all of these people would then have to quarantine themselves if there were one or two cases. you can see how quickly one or two schools and entire district would be affected by this. all of this coming as a 90% spike in covid cases among children continues to grow nationwide. kendis. >> 90% spike.

troubling data. cori coffin live in new jersey. thank you. new in georgia. what appears to be an aboutface on face masks. as coronavirus spreads in the south and georgia in the top ten states with the most cases. blayne alexander joins us from atlanta. blayne, what is behind this? we call it an aboutface. it is. what is behind the change? >> reporter: kendis, good morning. the governor is withdrawing that lawsuit that he filed against the atlanta mayor and atlanta city council over the mask mandate and restrictions. he is plan beining to replace w an executive order. he is clearing way for mask mandates. it cannot be essentially enforced upon local businesses.

it is important to look at the numbers in georgia. the state health department is pointing to the number of hospitalizations and number of cases which went down over the past week. also this past week, georgia saw its highest single day total of deaths. highest since the pandemic began. this morning, a dire new warning from obtained by the ajc, the coronavirus task force warns the georgia policies are not enough to stop the widespread and expanding community viral spread. urging leaders to close bars and nightclubs and gyms and implement a statewide mask mandate. governor kemp withdrew the lawsuit against keisha lance bottoms. the governor will allow local leaders to require masks, but says they cannot force

businesses to comply. it comes amid new concerns in the classroom. in cherokee county, where students returned to class last week, there are 110 confirmed cases and 1,600 quarantined. >> uneasy feeling. >> reporter: after one week, hillary decided to keep her daughter home. >> to send your child for six or eight hours a day and i heard some people refer to it as a war zone with the illness. it just creates a new havoc in your life. >> reporter: nationwide, more schools are welcoming students. including new york. and in vermont, students are back in a different classroom. >> this is not what any of us expected. we're trying to use all of our creativity. >> reporter: and as america returns to the favorite pasttime, an encouraging sign of 12,000 tested across the league.

only four positive cases. two players and two staff on the same team. today, the st. louis cardinals sidelined by covid, will once again, take the field. >> it's at the wall! good-bye! >> reporter: and back to the georgia numbers, kendis. earlier this week, jerome adams was here in atlanta and i asked if he should consider any policy change for georgia. considering rolling back the backs and nightclub reopening. people in the high confirmed case area, people should avoid bars. he stopped short of saying close. kendis. >> when you asked alcohol to anything, what you knew before, your education goes away. dr. fauci said bars are bad. we understand why. blayne alexander, thank you. joining me now is dr. ashford.

he is the florida state lead for the committee to protect medicare. doctor, thank you for being here. i want you to pick up on what blayne was talking about and whether or not many of the places, including florida where you are, should rollback reopening which has taken place with bars and restaurants. >> good morning, kendis. thanks for having me. so, basically i want us to start thinking about how are we going to live with the virus? we're past the acute phase or transitioning into the chronic phase. these issues will not go anywhere. as long as the percentage of infections remain high and as long as we have widespread community transmission, we will continue to have the conversations next year and beyond. a lot of folks are thinking that this is just a temporary state of being and i need folks to realize this is our reality. we need to do better at controlling the virus. we are not getting the virus

under control. we still have the same arguments about reopening schools and closing down businesses. we need to focus on the public health aspect of this and then figure out how we will live with the virus in society. >> talk about the reopening the schools. many issues that you are facing in florida. the plan to reopen schools in florida to in-person learning is facing legal action. yesterday, you had the state's high school athletic board to vote to allow practices for fall sports to begin august 24th. that ignores the advice of medical experts. doctor, how concerned are you about the resumption of sports and in-person classes? >> let me address the sports issue right on. i am a cardiologist. we have actually seen data that the majority of patients with covid-19, a systsymptomatic, ths

evidence of heart inflammation that actually occurs weeks after the clearing of the infection. there is actual autopsy that shows the virus is in the heart muscle. we don't know what the long-term implications of the virus is. if we put kids out there, safety is number one. this virus has been around for less than 12 months and we don't know. absent the information, you want to err on the side of protecting the students. >> and sports? >> basically, we need to do our due diligence. as a father, would i let my son play? no. do i think the schools and school departments in the state of florida have done enough to investigate? no. until we can reassure parents

that kids are safe? the answer is no. >> that really is a decision. go ahead, doctor. >> i wanted to speak quickly to the fact that our wait times are still ridiculous. 10 to 14 days to get test results back frm. we don't have control of the virus. and we are focusing on warp speed for vaccine development and we cannot develop a testing procedure, this is ridiculous. i think we need to realign our priorities and focus on controlling the virus rather than focusing on reopening schools without a strategy. we have a lot of work to do. >> the cases are still on the rise. clearly in florida, it is considered the hot spot.

do you get a sense that the response in the state hasn't improved? >> compared to a few weeks ago, we are in a better position. do we have the virus under control? hell to the na. the virus is not under control. the virus is spreading. there is unchecked community spread right now. the fact our governor and leadership has not really appreciated that is ridiculous. we keep doing these piecemeal approaches. the governor agreed with me and said it is taking too long. he proceeds to open up two rapid testing sites here in south florida for just a specific population. everybody needs to have access to testing. everyone needs to get done within a day. we need to do better. i just can't -- i feel like i'm beat aing a dead horse. >> it is something, as you mentioned, we have to learn to live with, but even when we get a vaccine, we will have issues.

that poll that shows 35% of americans could not take a coronavirus vaccine if it was available right now. i'm not sure why that is. could that stat mean the virus would be with us for some time? >> i can tell you why that is. one, people have distrust of the health care system. especially people of color. blacks and latino. flu vaccine. those groups have a lower rate of vaccine utilization. the fact we have leadership and a president who is giving out misinformation and rapid development of vaccine with ineptness of controlling the pandemic. you put all that together and people will say no, i don't trust the government. a rational fear of the vaccine.

there is not enough evidence to change that. we need to spend more time addressing the community needs and figuring out what people need on the ground and earning their trust before we just jump to saying take this vaccine. i know personally my family and friends know me very well. i give them the information. i'm a big proponent of good vaccine utilization. however, they are concerned and scared and the majority of people i know personally are not going to take the vaccine. that is something we are not talking enough about. >> doctor, thank you. two days before the democratic convention, how joe biden and his running mate kamala harris are prepare for the historic event. that's next. nt that's next. but cuter. i'm a horse, but magical. pizza on a bagel-we can all agree with that. you're like a party rental.

kendis. a busy week for joe biden with several events announcing kamala harris. with two days before the convention, they are gearing up for a general election campaign that no candidates have experienced before. the newly minted democratic ticket. >> we make it opfficial. >> reporter: signing the paper work to make the nomination official. it caps off a week of hammering the handling of the pandemic. channelling roosevelt on the path forward. >> job one is to build back better than before. that's the task before us. >> reporter: the public health crisis, a focal point of the pitch. from mask wearing. >> we need a clear message from the top of the federal government that everyone needs to wear a mask in public. >> reporter: to defending vote by mail. the national association of letter carriers endorsing biden saying the current

administration refuses to provide the necessary financial relief. meanwhile, harris ignoring attacks from the president. >> what do you make of president trump and the republicans on the statement that you have been the candidate? >> i'm signing this because i'm in the race to win and with that guy right there and we're going get it done. >> reporter: the campaign trail is unchartered terrorist. fr unchartered territory. to the running mate herself. harris with an eye on the history books in the first interview. >> joe biden had the audacity to choose a black woman to be his running mate. how incredible is that? he has pushed forward something that might have otherwise taken decades. >> reporter: and, kendis,

wilmington has become an accidental hub for convention activity because the dnc is so much virtual, we will see politicians from across the map. including here in wilmington. this is where joe biden and kamala harris will give remarks to the convention next week. >> ali, obviously this is unprecedented. the convention that's going to take place. nobody is showing up to milwaukee where it was supposed to take place. the virtual convention. what can we expect it to look like? >> reporter: kendis, i should not be here in wilmington. i should absolutely be in wisconsin where this was supposed to take place. instead, we have seen it go online. that is something we have seen from democrats the way they have stopped campaigning and moved organizing online. really leaning in the precautions of the pandemic. i imagine we will see for people on the ground in delaware, a lot of mask wearing and social

distancing. at the same time, what will not be seen is the kind of run-ins from reporters that people like me love with sources and colleagues getting together in one place. i think the main image that we will not see this year, although i hope we find a way to incorporate balloons is the balloon drop once you have the democratic presidential and vice presidential nominee. i doubt we will see them arm in arm with balloons raining over them. we saw what that rollout looked like this week. masks and social distancing is what we're in for. >> you know our phones and computers have the effect where you can drop the balloons down. maybe a virtual balloon drop. ali vitali joining us from wilmington instead of wisconsin. thank you. a baseless conspiracy fueled by the president. what it says about the president's campaign messaging. g

all right. 80 days to go until the election. president trump is ramping up attacks against nominee kamala harris using a familiar playbook. since the democratic ticket was announced this week, harris has face an onslaught of attacks from name calling and racist birther conspiracies. we have sues ahave susan del pe

courtney. good morning. susan, let me start with you at 30 rock. the president amplifying the conspiracy theory. what does it say about the campaign? >> it says donald trump thinks it is 2016 all over again. this is what he does when he is campaigning. this is all he has in his playbook, kendis. he can't run on his record. what will he do? talk about how he is handling the coronavirus? that's not working. what does he do? he goes to his old tropes that are offensive. this time i think it will boomerang against him. in 2018, women came out in droves for the candidates, but also against donald trump. i think he will see that again.

frankly, he is not in senator harris' class and should stop trying to punch up. >> courtney, this is what the president said when asked about his attacks against harris. >> she treated biden worse than anybody else by far. nobody, including pocahontas, nobody treated biden so badly as kamala. >> let me ask you this. do you have an issue with a strong woman of color being in the presidential race? >> none what so ever. as you know. non wh none whatsoever. >> behind the sooe-the-scenes a white house, there has to be concerns about the kamala harris pick. courtney. >> the trump campaign has veered between messaging that she is the most radical pick for vice president ever to someone insufficiently liberal. that is really underscored the

struggle to launch a clear attack on the biden campaign and with that as susan mentioned, we have seen him veer into the familiar territory with racist and sexist statements. the disjointed messaging has some concerned about what the campaign strategy is with 80 days to go until the election. you know, there are some republicans who are confounded there wasn't a more defined response considering harris is the top contender from the outset. >> they had a rapid response, but a lot of people were saying it wasn't much of a response. the associated press reporting that the campaign, susan, is struggling to define senator harris. attempting to paint the democratic ticket as the most radical pick for vice president ever, but too moderate to energize progressive democrats. the article quotes former rnc official tim miller. to sum up kamala harris is a

cop, anti-police, radical leftist and causing a revolt among bernie voters. a phony too nasty to joe biden. got that? what do you make of that response? >> that response is just like the president's tenure in office. muddled and disjointed and makes no sense to anybody. he cannot get a message across. that is a lot of concern to republicans running, especially down ballot. the president doesn't know where he is going. we know he is the one who is the campaign manager and dictator in what he says. he doesn't listen to his strategist. at the end of the day, this is a race against joe biden. if he is going after kamala harris this way, that is a big mistake on trump's part. not surprising, but a big mistake. >> courtney, at the end of the day, the meantime the president followed his gut in 2016 and

won. >> yes, you know, i think that's true. i think a lot of tactics he used in 2016 feel a bit dated. they just don't work in 2020. we saw that earlier this year when he, you know, during the pandemic and he focused on immigration and went to the border wall and it felt out of place. the same can be said for the attacks he levelled against senator harris. >> susan and courtney, thousand. i appreciate you guys. it is move in day for interstates. what colleges are doing to keep students safe. eep students safe. i'm greg, i'm 68 years old.

it is move-in weekend at one of north carolina's colleges, and requiring most students to. elan university is taking

precautions. gary grumbak live from the campus in elon north carolina. i know many, many students are angry about this. they say that the university has not prepared properly. and see this as premature. >> reporter: hey there, yeah this is a move in weekend unlike any other here at elon. this is the fourth time i've covered this event by three previous at a journalist on campus. when students come to campus they are first greeted with a temperature check for everybody in their car. they also have to make sure they have take ab covid test before they even get to campus and greeted with a goody bag of sorts here. this mask, hand sanitizer and some tissues. the a number of upper classmen who are not thrilled with the idea in fact held a protest a few days ago, urging the administration to reconsider the decision to hold inperson

classes. the freshman i talked to, as they r they were moving in yesterday with their parents they were frankly unfazed by the idea of inperson classes and unfazed by the idea of social distancing and mask wearing across campus. here is what some had to say. >> i think there is definitely some worry there that kids won't follow the rules and there will be an issue. but i think the school will handle it well. and that i'm not like too worried about it. honestly. >> reporter: there is going to be a tendency to let the guard down at some point. so you just got to i guess be careful and make sure you follow all the s.o.p.s. >> like a week before i was set to move in i was like are we coming back? are we really? yeah it's been hard to adjust to and i think there are worries in the back of everyone's minds about what happens if we do have an outbreak but i'm just kind of coming with the mind set of enjoying the time while i have it while also being safe as i can and encouraging my fellow students to do the same.

>> reporter: eia. so public health is of course number one priority. that is what university officials tell me and this is a business. so as everything it has a bottom line. if they have to send students home like they had to in the spring halfway through the semester that is going to seriously impact the bottom line and nnss of the university like elon e one without a huge e endowment. to fur lows and layoffs could be coming. >> back on campus. good to see you there in elon, north carolina. thank you. and thank you all for watching. i'll be back tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. eastern time. up next ali velshi. and congressman davis and gary peters will way in with ali on the postal service mess. velshi start after this. servic. velshi start after this. our health comes first.

which is why we keep taking care of ourselves, like screening for colon cancer. because when caught in early stages, it's more treatable. cologuard is noninvasive and detects altered dna in your stool... ...to find 92% of colon cancers... ...even in early stages. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. so, don't wait to screen. ask your prescriber or an online prescriber if cologuard is right for you.
