. >> senator, earlier this week, you talked to my colleague andrea mitchell, you continue to believea new poll from marquette law school in wisconsin shows that former vice president biden is leading you more than 30 points in that state, and of course that a 5.9%. you won wisconsin in 2016, given that you're trailing in this poll by that margin as well as some other big states, give me a better sense of what you believe your narrow path to victory could be for the democratic presidential nomination? >> it's a narrow path. on top of that poll, we're 300 delegates behind biden and many of the elections have been delayed. the democratic convention has been delayed. i will be honest with you, ali, i'll tell you among my supporters different point of views on how we should proceed. one of the goals of the campaign, the key goal is to win but the other goal is to be able to continue to fight to get people the opportunity to participate in the political process, to stand up for the views they believe in. and one of the things that we have already accomplished in this campaign, i think, in

how speaker nancy pelosi told my colleague, andrea mitchell, that even more needs to be done. >> this is a very big assault on the livelihood and the lives of the american people and requires extraordinary action. in our first two bills, we addressed the emergency of it all. in the third bill that was signed by the president last week we talked about mitigation. certainly continuing our emergency emphasis but mitigation for the damage to the health and well-being of the american people and to our economy. next we want to move to recovery. >> we're learning more about when the pandemic relief payment checks are going to go out. nbc news has obtained a house ways and means committee memo which says direct deposit payments will begin the week of april 13 if the irs has your bank information. if not, it's not going to start sending out paper checks until the week of may 4th. this is really important. the memo says because the government can process just 5 million checks per week, it could take nearly five months to get the checks out. so wherever possible, if you can try and arrange for d

governor phil murphy told andrea mitchell they discussed expanded testing. obviously a big problem. the meeting comes on the same day the white house's social distancing guidelines technically expire since we now move to the phase one reopening guidelines. president trump has said he'll not extend those guidelines, even as the death toll in the u.s. surpasses 61,000. but there are different guidelines that the country is operating under now. nbc news correspondent carol lee joins me from the white house. carol, it's pretty clear that if -- that the white house desperately wants to give the appearance that they've moved to a new phase. we're in the reopening and recovery phase. but it feels as if the virus isn't cooperating. >> right. and you heard that from the governor in his interview with andrea where he said it's getting better, but we're not out of the woods yet. and that's pretty much everyone's message except for oftentimes the president and some of the people who work for him. you know, we've heard from the president today, he did a radio interview. called in to a radio stat

. >> so i want to play for you what senator bernie sanders told my colleague, andrea mitchell, about this. take a listen. >> we don't want people to have to risk their lives in order to cast a vote. i think the proper process is as quickly as possible for all states to allow people to vote by mail, get the word out, get the ballots out, and let people cast their votes without having to line up at a polling booth, have poll workers, often elderly people, signing up people. >> can residents in wisconsin do that? are you allowing for folks to vote by mail-in ballot at this point? will you allow them to do it? >> wisconsin has and continues to allow early absentee voting with no excuses, so as of this morning's numbers, 1.1 million absentee ballots have been requested, and are hopefully in the process of getting out to voters and being returned. the elections commission did write a letter to the federal judge, stating that we did not object to the counting of those ballots, as long as they were postmarked by election day through the following monday, so obviously we're hopeful as a commi

andrea mitchell is standing by. llo andrea. >> as president trump is preparing the come in today with vice president pence who yesterday was traveling to colorado for the air force abd me commencement, the controversy over testing is heating u. we saw on all the sunday talk shows governors saying, including republican governors larry hogan, the republican governor of maryland, the head of the governor's association nationally saying we don't have enough testing. we don't have enough components for the testing that governors on their own cannot do this without a federal program and of course the vice president saying to chuck todd on meet the press that there is sufficient testing for the governors for all the states to get the first phase of reopening going. monica, i may have to interrupt you if the president walks into the room. but as you know this is heating up as there is a potential agreement, a tentative agreement on most of the components on this new, $470 billion by my count according to nbc's reporting whic

>>> good day, everyone, i'm andrea mitchell in washington continuing our coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. here are the facts at this hour. dr. anthony fauci is confirming the administration is working with a private sector to push hard for a vaccine that could possibly be ready as soon as january, even as the fda prepares to authorize the use of the first potential antiviral drug to help the sickest covid-19 patients recover. >>> there are grim jobless numbers today as the labor department reports another 3.8 million americans filed for unemployment last week. that brings the total to over 30 million people over the last six weeks. >>> white house guidelines for social distancing expire today. starting tomorrow at least 25 states will have begun some phase of reopening, even as california's governor is about to announce today he'll close all beaches following massive crowds who ignored safe distancing last weekend. >>> and at this hour president trump has been meeting with new jersey's governor phil murphy. that meeting just ending. representing the second hardest-hit state afte

i'm andrea mitchell in washington. millions of americans are bracing for the start of a week that the surgeon general says will be a pearl harbor or 9/11 in the battle against the coronavirus in hotspots like new york, michigan, and louisiana. nationally, the death toll is approaching 10,000 people, and 350,000 confirmed cases. new york is still the hardest hit area, despite glimmers of hope that hospitalizations were beginning to inch down over the weekend, the possible indication the curve is finally flattening. we're about to hear more from governor andrew cuomo moments from now. joining me first, though, is dr. zeke emanuel, vice provost of global initiatives at the university of pennsylvania, co-host of the upcoming podcast "making the call" and co-hosting a special edition of "last word with lawrence o'donnell" tonight at 10:00 eastern. hey, zeke. thank you very much for being with us. first of all, explain the deadly warnings, the alarming warnings from the surgeon general, dr. adams, as well as from dr. fauci o

"andrea mitchell reports" fauci is saying let's have a national stay-at-home yet. the surgeon general going on the "today" show and saying i think we should have a national stay-at-home order. can i just tell people we do even if we don't. why is that alone not just fix tonight. it would take ten words at the podium, could save thousands of lives. a cat 4 hurricane hitting a major american city, blowing up levees and flooding the whole darn thing and killing 2,000 people while americans climbed under the rooftops to beg for help. yeah, that's a national disaster. so yeah, we can all see and we could see at the time that the national government, the federal government should be running the response. the george w. bush administration tried to play it off like it wasn't their problem. ultimately they figured it out and they put somebody in charge who could handle the operational concerns of that disaster, who could handle the logistics. but they didn't figure it out quickly enough. they didn't figure it out quickly enough to save 2,000 americans and not quickly enough

i'm andrea mitchell and we're moments away from new york governor andrew cuomo's daily press conference. here in washington though, the grim reality of how many americans could die even if the entire country were to obey the social distancing guidelines is finally settling in at the white house. the president now accepting his science adviser's worse-case scenarios, in fact, and preparing the country for a rough, rough two weeks where tens of thousands could die. last night dr. anthony fauci telling savannah guthrie just what the country could be facing. >> the next couple of weeks we're going to be seeing serious things that the american public, unfortunately, is going to have to get used to seeing. what we're doing with the mitigation is to try to blunt that. but no matter when we do, even with the i believe positive effects we're seeing with the mitigation, it's going to be a tough couple of weeks coming up. >> joining now is dr. zeke emanuel, vice provost of global initiatives at the university of pennsylvania, and former obama administration official. dr. emanuel, let's talk about
