"wall street journal" for one with the headline saying remember the trump economy, his pre-covid-19 record gives him a clear edge over obama-biden but i wonder how well does that sell right now? does anybody remember their life before this virus and the lockdown? >> no, it is a good question and that is obviously the enormous challenge that i think the trump campaign has right now but i think that the way they're going about doing it and making these arguments where they go and get people who do remember the economy, not only under president trump, prior to this, but also the economy under president obama and vice president biden before that and it all, it really does all come down to the whole issue of you know, do you want the federal government in charge of everything or do you want people to be able to take more money home, mak

hillary vaughn is in delaware with what to expect. hillary. >> hi jon. democratic nominee joe biden's except in speech at the dnc last week ended with a bang as fireworks lit up the sky above an audience watching the speech from their cars in a parking in a parking lot but today biden's remarks are sparking new reaction for some who think this closing not the line sounded familiar. >> love is more powerful than hate. hope is more powerful than fear and light is more powerful than dark if this is our moment. this is our mission. >> some canadian press pointing out that they think that line is very similar to one the late canadian former leader of canada's new democratic party jack layton wrote when he wrote in a letter this quote my friends love is better than anger hope is better than fear and optimism is better than despair. this is the first time biden his in trouble for borrowing material to >> 1987 had to drop out of the presidential race due to a plagiarism scandal. today biden left wilmington and headed to his house while biden is off the campaign

cheryl: hillary vaughn, with that live report. hillary, thank you very much.ning me now with reaction to this, trump 2020 director of press communications erin perrine. erin, great to have you here. first off to what hillary was reporting this fact, the financial burden, that is being laid upon taxpayers in these particularly liberal cities getting crushed by violence is starting to really kind of shine through the big issue, your reaction? >> it's true. there is a huge amount of damage done by violent antifa rioters and protesters in this country to what hillary was saying, to the tune of over $1.4 billion in damage and ticking upwards. that's worrisome. that ising that we need to be able to restore the safety in our streets. it is not just about the damage. it is certainly heartbreaking but about the businesses that have been lost. minority-owned businesses. small businesses in these cities where immigrants saved up their money to be able to open their first restaurant, to pursue their american dream. to have that violently taken away from them. that is hear

hillary vaughn an what we might expect. r: hey, neil we're actually looking at the event to start around 3:50 p.m. this afternoon, but what's interesting about today is senator kamala harris shows up for the first time in-person, side by side with her runningmate, the pre u.s. ever democratic nominee joe biden, when he asked her yesterday on a zoom call to be his vp, she said "yes" but months ago when she was still running in the race for president herself, she was asked if she be biden's vice president and she said she thought he be a better vp for her. >> i think that joe biden be a great runningmate, as vice president, he's proven that he knows how to do the job. >> reporter: since then, harris has not only had a change of heart towards being biden's vp but has also progressed from biden's chief critic on stage right on debate night to his right hand woman who will be joining him on stage today. >> the only african american woman that's ever been elected to the united states senate, a whole range of people. >> [laughter]

hillary vaughn is live in delaware with what to expect in the week ahead. hillary?> hi, jon, normally the opposing campaign takes time off while their rivals have their convention, but president trump didn't last week and the biden campaign isn't next week. >> we're absolutely not going dark. we are going to spend next week demonstrating how donald trump has failed various segments of america. >> the biden campaign and dnc will have a steady stream of dems, remarks begin with congresswoman demings on monday and ending with mayor buttigieg on thursday. president trump is on the schedule every day of the g.o.p. convention but biden has been left off the speaker list of the dnc countercampaign. >> i think the reason why donald trump is going to be at his convention every night is because he doesn't really have the unifying message that we had >> president trump has tried to warn voters, pitching that biden is just a vessel for bernie sanders progressive politics, but in a new interview out today, biden's former boss president obama says he sees similarities too saying

to hillary vaughn live from lafayette square in d.c. hillary, the focus of tonight, what do you expect it will be? what are you hearing? reporter: we are expecting to hear a lot about the economy. that's because when you look at the lineup of speakers tonight, a lot of them are going to speak on those economic issues but last night, the main takeaway from republicans speaking at the convention to voters, your safety and also your wallet is on the ballot. >> now joe biden wants to come for your pocketbooks. that's one of their solutions for the pandemic. they want to take more money from your pocket. >> he's already talking about shutting the country down again. reporter: tonight's lineup, senator rand paul, a budget hawk and fierce advocate for fiscal responsibility. tonight, he's probably going to mention the more than $6 trillion in new federal spending the democratic nominee joe biden wants to spend. we are also going to hear from white house economic adviser larry kudlow, who is likely going to bat for president trump over how he's h

hillary vaughn is live in delaware with what to expect this week. hi, hillary. >> reporter: hi, arthel. even though the gop convention has some events happening at the white house like first lady melania trump's speech on tuesday and president trump's acceptance speech on thursday, rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel says the party is picking up the tab, not the white house. the convention will feature a roster of republican stars but also some nonpolitician the too, criminal justice advocate alice johnson, covington high schooler nick sandmann and a st. louis such he'll that faced off with protesters. while president trump gets ready for his nomination, we caught up with joe biden here while he went to mass this morning. on his way out he doubled down on his position that doctors should call the shots on a nationwide shutdown during a pandemic. >> you're a hero. >> thank you. >> you're the only one -- >> great job, joe. >> thank you. >> mr. vice president, do you think president trump should shut down the country because of covid right now? >> listen to t

hillary vaughn is in delaware, covering the biden, harris campaign. we begin with rich edson, live at the white house with what to expect next week. >> reporter: it's the republicans turn to put on a modified convention. it will end with president trump's acceptance speech on thursday. before that there will be a host of events and speeches taking place across the country. >> you're going to see a great number of voices from all across this country to talk about what this president has done through not just the time of testing, through which we've passed, but in the first three years. joe biden said that democracy is on the ballot, character's on the ballot. let me tell you something, maria. i think your viewers know, the economy's on the ballot. >> reporter: republicans have branded their convention honoring the great american story. republican national committee chairwoman ronna mcdaniel says voters will see president trump each day of the convention and it will showcase america outside of hollywood, that's a dig at the celebrity appearances at the

he hillary vaughn joints us with those details. hillary. reporter: when it comes to the economy the biden campaign says they want to take credit for some of it but not all of it, pushing back on claims from republicans last night that the economy would tank under a potential president biden. they say that biden is the reason for the highs in the economy that we've seen over the past four years but not the reason for the lows that we've seen over the past few months. >> we heard about the great economy that donald trump inherited from barack obama and joe biden but not a morsel of regret for how trump's failed leadership has squandered it. starting even before covid hit. reporter: even though biden and harris did not denounce any of the violence that has been plaguing communities like portland night after night, in their keynote speeches at the dnc, the campaign is pushing back on the idea presented last night by republicans that democratic rhetoric has been outspoken against the police but silent on ongoing riots in the street are part to b

hillary vaughn live in washington with more. hillary?eporter: charles, president trump showing up in charlotte, north carolina, the host city for the rnc today, is in part a dig at democratic nominee joe biden after president trump criticized biden and kamala harris for snubbing the host city of the dnc, milwaukee, wisconsin, choosing not to show up there. the rnc is a multicity event, part virtual and part in person. president trump is already capitalizing on the moment to deliver his rebuttal to set the record straight after democrats spent their convention calling him weak on the economy. moments ago president trump said he will create tax credits for companies that bring jobs back from china. also continue to have a tough approach on trade and ice tariffs as a way to level the playing field against countries that take advantage of the u.s. melania trump will be on wednesday and ronna mcdaniel says the party is picking up the tab for that, not the white house. a roster of republican stars and non-politicians key to president trump's a

hillary vaughn is in wilmington, delaware with details on the fight over the economy and the 2020 election as we go into or we are on day two of the democratic national convention. hillary. reporter: cheryl, well, democrats last night on the virtual stage at the dnc tried to make the case that the economy is a winning issue for them because they think that president trump has not done a good enough job during this pandemic and they want to turn it into a winning issue for democrats at the ballot box in november, but they did draw a contrast. several people last night in their speaking slots between how obama/biden handled the 2008 recession and how president trump is handling the economic crisis today. >> auto workers in this union and across our state could have lost their jobs if not for barack obama and joe biden. in 2009, president obama and vice president biden didn't waste time blaming anyone else or shirking their responsibility. they got to work. reporter: out of the 2008 recession, obama and biden passed a massive stimulus package, $831 billion in unemployment benefits and also ta

hillary vaughn is live in presumptive nominee joe biden's hometown of wilmington, delaware with a previewporter: charles, this day one lineup goes as far as left as senator bernie sanders and as far as right as hearing from former republican governor john kasich for part of tonight's lineup. the democratic party has tried to infuse progressive ideas for the bernie sanders supporters did not support hillary clinton in 2016. some of sanders' most progressives ideas, "medicare for all," government provided job for everyone and were left out. joe biden courted support from one of bernie sanders's biggest supporters, in a conversation from cardi b. she told biden and her fans and herself want to see some of sanders' idea included in the agenda. >> tell me what your fans most say to you when they communicate to you online? what are they most concerned about? >> free college education. free medicare. >> people don't want to pay the taxes for it. that is why this whole thing about government's bad has been such a, a downer for the things that really matter to you and me. reporter: today is suppos

and hillary vaughn lee mack hillary vaughn live in d.c. virginia.lary. >> hey, dana, well, suburban voters make up half of all voters. more than rural or urban voting box, so in the suburbs could be where the 2020 election is won or loss. and president trump is pitching himself as a candidate with that will control the chaos in the streets and is courting the suburban housewife who support he swung in swing states in 2016. in wisconsin where president trump will be tomorrow, he wants 56% of white women with no college degree in pennsylvania where joe biden is campaigning today. 58% of white women with no college degree swung their support towards president trump last election. in pittsburgh today, biden is on defense denying any unrest in democratic runs u.s. cities with a democratic run country under his leadership would look like. >> violence will not bring change. it will only bring destruction. it's wrong in every way. it divides instead of unites. destroys businesses only hurts the working families that serve the community. >> president trump s

hillary vaughn, what democrats have at stake, hillary? reporter: hey, neil, the democratic convention is kick off today with biden's longest lasting rival in the 2020 race, senator bernie sanders whose progressive ideas are polar opposite of biden on the debate stage but those ideas are being embraced by party leadership because they want to woo sanders' base. sanders all along wants to use his delegates at the convention to get the party platform as progressive as possible and reflect what he calls an economic bill of rights including "medicare for all," a government guaranteed job and free college. >> donald trump must be defeated biden must be elected. after that election we'll do all that we can for progressive, to fight for progressive agenda. reporter: today biden did do an interview with one of bernie sanders biggest celebrity endorsers of this cycle, cardi b. she said her fans want to see sanders' staples free "medicare for all" and cardi b said one of the biggest roadblocks to get entire, these ideas incorporated into the platfor

neil: hillary vaughn, thank you very much. hillary in washington. how bad things are getting in seattle. the police chief there was imploring council members in the city, you have got to do something. why was she making a big deal of it. because protesters were coming to their home. international group ceo, paul, you said a lot of these police chiefs kind of have to answer to the mayors who buy and large hire them but are their bosses but enough to say, all right, this is getting crazy. she made it official. this is getting crazy. what happens? >> neil, this has been crazy for a long time. this is at quintessential example of this the administration. these are municipalities gone wild at this point. why are people scratching their heads? i was listening to what hillary was saying empirical information on costs. business of policing has awful lot to do with budget, when you look at this, why are people surprised, neil? why are government employees, administrators, surprised rioters, protesters are coming to their house? you allowed that to happen. yo

hillary vaughn is following the biden, harris campaign from delaware. the president sees the republican national convention as really a chance to give his rebuttal to a lot of what was said last week during the democrats' convention. in an exclusive interview with fox news anchor steve hilton the president says the dnc was dark and he wants the mood at the republicans' convention to be a lot different. >> i think we're going to see something that is going to be very uplifting and positive, that's what i'd like it to be. i think you have to defend yourself by talking about some of the lies, like when he says social security, i don't think he knows too much about social security. >> reporter: the gop convention will also look a lot different too. while biden had a drive-in audience for his big address, where supporters honked horns and watched his speech on a big screen in a parking lot, president trump will have an in-person audience of gop lawmakers seated on the white house lawn. the keynote addresses start with the first lady on tuesday, the vice presi

hillary vaughn is here now to take a look at what this second night of the convention looks like.it's all about the tone, too, in a virtual world. that gets to be a little kind of discombobulating to watch at home. republicans can face the same quandary but it is what it is, right, hillary? reporter: it is, and in fact, that's probably the biggest challenge right now for democrats, trying to keep the audience engaged, convincing them to stay logged in and listening to the virtual convention for several hours. but last night, we did see democrats stumping virtually at the dnc, making the economy or trying to make the economy a winning issue for them and a losing issue for president trump. making the case and comparing how president trump has handled the economic crisis during this pandemic to how then president obama and vice president joe biden handled the 2008 recession. >> trump's negligence has exacerbated the economic crisis we are now experiencing. since this pandemic began, over 30 million people have lost their jobs. instead of helping small businesses, trump concocted frau

hillary vaughn on how he plans to present himself. hillary, he is a well-known entity. americans have known him for many, many decades but he does have to reintroduce himself, doesn't he? reporter: he does, that is part of his plan tonight, neil. this is the biggest day of joe biden's political career that has spanned nearly half a century. he, after three failed attempts at running for president he is finally getting his shot to be at the top of the ticket. he is also the only nominee since 1940 to give his acceptance speech just 20 minutes away from his house. the biden campaign today is out with a new ad ahead of his acceptance speech previewing their pitch to reboot the economy and in the middle of a pandemic. >> our seniors that are being hit the hardest, they're frightened. i want them to know that their health and safety will be my responsibility if i'm the president. i will have from day one ready to go the best medical experts and scientists. reporter: but while biden's campaign approach to getting the economy back on track now is more moderate his plans for th

hillary vaughn is following this. a see a lot of dollar signs. >> that's right.s brought in a lot of money for july. the trump campaign bringing in over $25 million and a lot of that money is going to go into campaign tv ads. one interesting thing biden will be the dnc's first virtual nominee. he won't show up in person. president trump is weighing his choices of where he will accept his party's nomination after backing out of showing up in person. considering doing it at his resident on pennsylvania avenue. as an election in a pandemic is changing how the conventions will happen and it's changes how the campaigns are spending more money to reach voters on tv's, smart phones and social media. both campaigns are spliending ls on meeting people in person. >> the grassroot ability doesn't exist. that's a demstronghold. it has to be substituted. i believe that politicians have been relying and will rely on paid advertisements. >> the biden campaign announcing the largest fall ad buy for any presidential candidate ever starting september 1st in 15 states. many states

hillary vaughn.e had another night of violence and uprising in the kenosha area, it spread to madison, wisconsin. all of this follows the shooting of jacob blake. it is indicated right now he will survive that, but paralyzed from the waist down. the unrest continues in the greater wisconsin area here. in fact throughout the state, there have been a number of protests and still more planned. jonathan hunt with the latest from kenosha. jonathan. reporter: neil, we have now a second night here in kenosha which was a passionate protest turned into out and out rioting. hundreds gathered here at the county courthouse to begin with last night and then, after an 8:00 p.m. curfew was attempted to be imposed by police, they moved on, about a mile away burned down several local businesses there was also sporadic looting taking place. earlier as police tried to impose the 8:00 p.m. curfew, the protesters lined on, opposite of them, threw fireworks at the police lines. the police responded with volleys of tear ga

hillary vaughn gives us a breakdown. hannon, as ongoing protests forced police to spend money out over time and equipment to get violence under control, it's costing taxpayers millions of dollars in major u.s. cities. the new york city police overtime is projected to go way over budget by more than $400 million of taxpayer cash. in portland, they spent over 5 million to staff more police on the streets. including $200,000 for a fence barrier between police and protesters. seattle police department says they've spent over $12.5 million in taxpayer monies on police overtime at equipment and just the past two months alone. the president of the seattle police officers guild tells me 800 police jobs are on the as protests continue to hijack department spending while facing 50% budget cuts from city officials. >> they understand how to get to police departments now. it's to create such anarchy that it causes the budget to implode, and they understand that if they hit the pocketbook, that's their way of really getting to defundi

before we get to that, go to hillary vaughn for what we're in for for night number three. illary. reporter: today will follow last night where it was blue-collar workers and small businessmen from key swing states like wisconsin and maine, really stole the show. talking about how business has been better after obama and biden left the white house and president trump moved in. >> he acknowledged the importance of farmers and agriculture. that support and focus on negotiating new trade deals gave us the confidence to rebuild our barn and dairy operation. >> as long as trump is president fishing families like mine will have a voice. but if biden wins, he will be controlled by the environmental extremists who want to circumvent longstanding rules and impose radical changes that hurt our coastal communities. reporter: that lobster man, jason joyce said four years ago the obama-biden administration shut off thousands of miles of ocean, making them off limits to fishermen just to cater to environmental activists but president trump reversed that decision and also ended eu tariffs

hillary vaughn has the details. hillary.ban voters make up half of the voting demographic. that is way more than rural voters and way more than urban voters which really means this election could be won or lost in american suburbia. president trump is pitching himself as the candidate that will control the chaos, in doing so, is courting the suburban housewife whose support he swept in swing states in 2016. in wisconsin where president trump will be tomorrow, he won 56% of white woman with no college degree last election n pennsylvania where joe biden campaigned today, 58% of white woman with no college degree swung their support towards trump in 2016. in pittsburgh today biden is on defense, denying that unrest happening in democratic run cities is what would happen under his leadership. >> violence will not bring change. it will only bring destruction. it is wrong in every way. it divides instead of unites, destroys businesses, only hurts working families. reporter: white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany saying today

hillary vaughn to outline what is at stake and who is at stake. reporter: neil, kamala harris will be the make history the first black asian women to become a vp nominee. harris and biden did the first joint interview together with "people" magazine as a ticket. we got more details as harris' first day as running mate. she went to his house and they baked chocolate chip cookies. harris played sous chef in the biden house, she told "people" magazine, she will be the vp to tell when biden is wrong just as many on the debate stage. we have the understanding, the last one in the room there to give him honest feedback. joe biden officially became the democratic nominee for president where he made two surprise live appearances in mostly virtual and pretaped convention. first as the official nominee. second by his wife's jill's side after her keynote address. >> great. how are you? >> [laughter]. >> hey, everyone. i'm jill biden's husband. you can see why she is the love of my life. reporter: we heard from former president bill clinton a surprise being o

hillary vaughn following all that on the pinecrest golf course. hillary.f courses around the country took a billion dollar hit in revenue while covid-19 closed courses around the country through march and april but now that golf courses are back open, they are on track to have an even better year than last year. >> we're seeing new faces, new names, new golfers, literally new golfers getting clubs in their hands for the first time at seven of our golf courses. nationally through june rounds were up 14%. so golf is back. we haven't seen this many rounds since the tiger boom, late '90s, early 2000s. reporter: around the country tee times are up 13%. that is combined 400 million more dollars in revenue. every single state is seeing a bump in tee times, in golf heavy states up even more, arizona, georgia, florida, texas, up over 20% compared to last year. not just courses seeing the surge. golf retailers are saying inventory flying off the shelves. online, one golf store is getting 10 times the number of sales as they have ever have before. >> really been a on

we have hillary vaughn on the story joining us live with more. >> hi, julie, senator kamala harris hasl from one of the toughest critics to know his running mate on the ticket, but she has also evolved on the issues. just a few months ago, harris had major differences with her 2020 rival, but today she is adopting joe biden's agenda. >> when i was attorney general of california i took on the big oil companies and sued them. >> i want to give credit to bernie sanders. take credit, bernie. you brought us the foreign medical medicare for all, i support it. i always have. they say how will you pay for it, i say i will repeal the tax bill that helps the top 1 percent in the biggest corporations of america. >> leading on issues like the green new deal and medicare for all, ideas that biden has brushed back. also wanted to raise low corporate income tax rate to 35%, much higher than joe biden's percent of 80%. also wanted to pay medicare through all for a tax on wall street including taxes on stock and bonds rates. also push for some student loan forgiveness making two year college tuition fr

i think we're going to go back with hillary vaughn right now. she is still with me. llary, hillary is gone. we'll go steve forbes with us, forbes media chairman. former presidential candidate himself and laura fincke, the democratic strategist. laura, end with you, this roll call of the states very, very different than democrats did it last week on the second night of the convention where they went state by state. rhode island being my favorite when they showcased their famous calamari. leaving that aside, the numbers are the numbers. the nomination was never in doubt as it wasn't in doubt last week for joe biden. your quick thoughts. >> i think that, as you say there was no doubt about it, but i think, neil, what you will see in the convention was a very different tone from last week. last week until biden's acceptance speech was one downer after another, america being this terrible place and everything is going wrong. i think you will see a much more upbeat, much more america can do it theme this week. think that is really, really ties into the american spirit. peop

for the latest i go to hillary vaughn in wilmington, delaware, where we expect to hear from biden andarris in just over an hour from now maybe less. hillary. reporter: until today senator kamala harris ran left probiden on key issues from taxes to health care but today she's adopting his agenda. joining the ticket as his vp. she will appear in person with him for the first time as his vice president pick today. >> when i was attorney general of california i took on the big oil companies and sued them. i want to give credit to bernie. take credit, bernie. you know, you brought us this far in "medicare for all." i support "medicare for all." i always have. people say how are you going to pay for it? that is really simple. on day one we'll repeal the tax bill that benefits the top 1% and biggest corporations of america. reporter: until today, harris led on issues like the green new deal and "medicare for all," two ideas that biden has brushed back on his platform. she also wanted to raise the corporate income tax rate to 35%, higher than biden, what biden wants to do, raising it to 28%.

hillary vaughn is in wilmington, delaware with the very latest. hillary? reporter: ashley, what is interesting is democrats and republicans have one thing in common. they both think the economy is a winning issue for them in november but last night we did see many democrats on the virtual stage day one of the dnc making the case, comparing the response from obama-biden in the 2008 recession to the economic response of trump-pens today during a pandemic. >> since this pandemic began over 30 million people have lost their jobs. instead of helping small businesses trump concocted fraudulent executive orders that do virtually nothing to address the crisis. reporter: back in 2008 during the recession obama-biden passed a massive stimulus package, 831 billion in unemployment benefits and tax cuts. also later approved 80 billion in federal fund to stop general motors and chrysler from folding saving in the process over 2 1/2 million jobs. a lot of those in battleground state of michigan but there are major differences between the economic crisis we're facing now

hillary vaughn on top of it all with the great debated game, i think, hillary first will be the presidentialc nominee joe biden should not show up i myself don't tell anybody i told you this especially don't tell joe biden i don't think there should be any debates. >> he is now bowing out but has said people tell him he shouldn't debate trump unless there are live fact checkers pr for now he says he is fine doing that himself. >> i'm going to debate him now i know for certain i will be a fact checker on the floor while i'm debating him lying, lying, lying, one after another. >> trump campaign is worried that pelosi's advice is ominous foreshadowing that biden might bail or phone it in saying this in a statement quote we are also concerned that his handler also ultimately decide to keep him in his basement and avoid debates entirely or suggest holding them remotely via skype whereby den could rely on nearby handlers, a teleprompter or notes. the president has said he wants more debates but so far the biden campaign has only agreed to three. the first one on september 29th in ohio. neil? >> ne

hillary vaughn on all of that. hillary? >> reporter: hi, neil.are getting fresh reaction to pelosi's comments essentially urging biden to not debate president trump at all. remember the biden camp has agreed to three presidential debates. the trump campaign has asked to put more on the schedule, but the biden campaign is sticking to three and they are reacting to what pelosi had to say urging them to not signify that president by engaging him in a presidential debate. the campaign spokesperson for the biden camp saying that while they agree with speaker pelosi's characterization of president trump's behavior, they still look forward to debating him and confronting him on policy, on the debate stage, so for now, those are a go. also happening right now, there are preparations underway at the white house for president trump 's big acceptance speech tonight. we are learning that they are turning the white house lawn into an outdoor theatre, where president trump will be accepting his nomination and making the case to the american people that they sh

let's get the read from our own hillary vaughn what we might expect. hey, hillary.r: hey, neil. well the democratic nominee joe biden is playing defense trying to explain that democratic-run u.s. cities, the unrest happening there is not what a democratic-run country would look under his leadership. president trump tweeted this morning. the radical left mayors and governors of cities where this crazy violence is taking place have lost control of their movement. it wasn't supposed to be like this but anarchists and agitators got carried away, don't listen anymore, even forced slow joe out of the basement. biden is getting out of the house to pittsburgh where he will blame trump for the ongoing unrest in america's cities. part of his remarks say this about trump, he may believe mouthing the words law and order make him strong but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country show how how weak he is. does anybody believe there will be less violence in america if donald trump is reelected? president trump says it is not jus

fox business's hillary vaughn in wilmington, delaware, with more. hi, hillary. reporter: hi, david.ys of democrats making the case against the economy under president trump, democratic nominee joe biden delivered the closing argument, blaming trump for not containing the virus that has destroyed the u.s. economy, saying the president has been waiting for a miracle but biden says he has the answers to fix it. >> understand something this president hasn't from the beginning. we will never get our economy back on track, we will never get our kids safely back in schools, we will never have our lives back, until we deal with this virus. reporter: biden pitched a practical fix to reboot the u.s. economy with a mandatory nationwide mask mandate, rapid testing, making ppe right here in the u.s. but some of those things are already happening in some capacity from mask mandates on the state and local level to ppe being made by u.s. companies like 3m but biden says he would do more. he's also underscoring his commitment to taxing the rich to pay for the rest of his economic agenda. >> we don't

hillary vaughn looking at this and the oddity of all this. hillary.r: neil, biden will be the dnc very first virtual nominee after he backed out showing up in milwaukee to accept his party's nomination out of safety concerns. now he will be accepting it in his home state of delaware but also president trump is still working out the details of his acceptance speech for his party's nomination. he may like biden also being do it from his residence on pennsylvania avenue as both campaigns try to figure out ways to rally their base online. both are spending a lot less money on in-person events and campaigning, and more money on meeting voters where they are, their living rooms. spending record amounts of money and campaign cash on ad buys. >> grassroots ability doesn't exist, right? that is a dem strong hold as you know. so it has to be substituted in one way and broadcast advertising, cable advertising, paid advertising is really the vehicle that i think is benefiting the most from our, from our perspective. reporter: the biden campaign announcing their l

day to visit among other states, pennsylvania, arizona, wisconsin, battlegrounds, let's go to hillary vaughn with a wrap up of what was at the convention and now for republicans what will be. >> with both conventions over, that means the general election is officially underway, both party nominees rain in the general election with a fireworks finale in president trump is already hitting the campaign trail today heading to manchester, new hampshire for his first rally after officially accepted the nomination but seem president trump out and about on the trail has made democratic nominee joe biden a little bit jealous, last night biden says he's ready to do more than ping-pong between his two homes in delaware and instead get out there saying the fundraiser of this, what were working on is how i get out, i am a politician, i really miss being able to grab hands, shake hands and you cannot do that now, biden and harris are planning a socially distant swing states swing hitting states like wisconsin, minnesota, pennsylvania after labor day but say while they may be physically in the battleground

come in, hillary vaughn. tell me, what are the campaigns doing?er: you are about to see a lot more ads coming your way september 1st because the biden campaign announced the largest ad buy for any presidential candidate in history. they are going to be spending $280 million on digital and tv ads in 15 different states starting september 1st. this is significant because a lot of the ads are going to be airing in states that trump won in 2016. clearly an indication that biden is planning on trying to flip those states in november. the trump campaign has spent or will spend $145 million, much less than the biden campaign, on tv ads after labor day, and a lot of those are going to be focused on states that trump won. in july, 90% of trump campaign's ad money went to states where they already won. their strategy is defend the map. he won a lot of states, he's president now and they want to make sure they do that again in november. but really, this pandemic is interesting because it does show the campaigns are investing a lot more money than ever on mee

let's bring in hillary vaughn, who will give us a preview of the convention. good morning, hillary.eporter: good morning, ashley. today's lineup goes as far left as bernie sanders and as far right as former republican governor john kasich. bernie sanders, though, has promised to use his delegates at the convention to make the party's platform as progressive as possible and reflects what he calls his economic bill of rights including things like medicare for all and a government guaranteed job, but some in his base feel that he fell short of that. today is supposed to be a show of unity for the party to avoid what happened in 2016, but there are some delegates that are protesting the platform because they don't think it's progressive enough, things like medicare for all are not on the table and really, we are expecting to get some pushback for that. we did hear from bernie sanders yesterday. he said that the first step is to get joe biden elected and then the next step is to try to push through progressive policies like medicare for all through his -- using his base to do that. so we

hillary vaughn is with us live in d.c. how much money are we talking about, hillary?billion, stuart. that's according to a projection from a national insurance group that says property damage from the george floyd protests and some of the violence and destruction that ensued from that is on pace to surpass what we saw back in 1992 in the los angeles riots, the largest amount of damage to date. now we're looking to see that passed completely. it's also been isolated to certain cities as well. the portland police say that property and local businesses there are looking at losses up to $23 million, including the loss of customers that were able to go in and access small businesses and local businesses while the streets were shut down. minneapolis chamber of commerce saying that damage to their properties are approaching $1 billion. they say that does not include the loss of jobs to the local economy as a result of the riots or the looting. but it's not just the damage that these cities are looking at and the taxpayers are facing. a lot of police departments have been spe

hillary vaughn, come on in to this please. tell me more about this.esting when golf courses shut down in march and april the whole industry nationwide took a one billion dollar hit. about 20 million rounds lost. now fast forward to the summertime, golf courses are open. it is really the perfect socially distance outdoor activity for people copped up in their living rooms for months. because of that golf is expected to rebound even better. right now courses around the country are seeing about 20% more tee times than they were this time last year. i talked to the golf course owner or the manager of pinecrest golf course where we are today. he says normally on day like this last year they would have 100 tee times. today they have 200 tee times. that is with rain in the forecast. right now for june, the most recent golf data, around the country, courses are seeing 13% more tee times. that is 7 to 8 million rounds of golf more than last year. that translates into $400 million more in revenue. which means a lot of golf courses that were very concerned they
