very, very interesting to hear him really putting coronavirus front and centre. the democrats the democrats were criticised into thousand 16 for not really connecting what they see the danger of trump to be with people's real lives. so joe biden trump to be with people's real lives. sojoe biden saying their you know, how many empty chairs are there at your table? how many people are you missing in yourfamily? he has done that before, but i thank you are going to see him want to do that or try into that more and more and more. he was in ohio today, he had an open air rally, a drive through rally, really, again, putting coronavirus front and centre there. so, that is the conversation that the democrats thatjoe biden wants to have. for donald trump, the republicans, the confirmation hearings of amy coney barrett, and what they want to talk about, she is a conservative, very conservative christian nominee to the supreme court. she would be replacing ruth bader ginsburg's place on the court if she is confirmed. it does look like she will be. interestingly, at that hearing, we saw t

. >>> still ahead, i'm going to speak to the democratic front-runner for a crowded race in georgia.t's take a look at this date in history. in 2001, the war in afghanistan started after the united states and britain launched air attacks against military targets. >>> after the first target was hit in afghanistan, the president addressed the nation from the white house saying the attack was necessary because there could be no peace in a world of sudden terror. >> these are designed to disrupt the use of afghanistan as a terrorist base of operations and to attack the military capability of the taliban regime. and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one disposable pad. unlike ordinary memory want supplements-ter? neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference. diddeodorants onlysome alumask odor? secret aluminum free helps eliminate odor instead of just ma

now we have a democrat front runner embracing socialism and the republican head of party, donald trump, does not use free enterprise at all. it's an interesting moment. i wrote a piece for dissent about three years ago about the debate between free enterprise and socialism. one of the things i posited there and we'll see much more later on is that whether bernie sanders, by saying yeah, i'm a socialist, what are you going to do about it? whether he has -- might inoculate that charge in the coming election cycle. i'm not saying he will. i'm agnostic on it. i do think it's an interesting moment in regard to that binary that's driven politics in this country for a hundred years. >> right there in purple. microphone. >> sorry. patrick -- the capacity to take an individual and sort of get them on a huge hook of debt or of obligation or of -- you know, a long contract. the freedom i feel some of the sanders people aspire to is not to be completely gouged by a health care company or a car company or a bank. i wonder when the system has an enron, how does it sort of continue to perpetuate itse

foe to democrats. on the front it takes someone very very strong to run this country and in my eyes i think is doing a big job so i just say thank you and then i'd probably get a selfie with him or something like that i don't know who. he really is a makeup artist from las vegas how did very different take on trump on a minute with the president my personal message to him would be. oh no abortion like women going crazy for no reason you also need to get a grip and start treating women right because we really run this country and you're trying to oppress us in some way like we're going to be extinct no women are going to be around for ever so we're going to have to learn how to deal with us and give us rights that we deserve that we've had since before you were the president the most of if you talk to people about personal matters you don't see this divide which even runs through families or friendships but as soon as you bring up politics things get emotional. bits in it so not. it's like an underlying feeling that

out front democratic senator richard blumenthal, a member of the senate judiciary committee.eciate your time. i know you said today that you made up your mind to oppose amy coney barrett's nomination. did you hear anything today which suggests that she is not qualified for a seat on the highest court in the land? >> there was no reassurance today, erin, none, that she will do anything but strike down the affordable care act and end protections for people who suffer from pre-existing conditions. she has been vetted by trump screeners. she passed the trump litmus test, that she would not only strike down the affordable care act but also overturn roe v. wade. and she's written that if she'd been on the court she would have struck down the affordable care act in the cases before the supreme court. she did nothing today to rebut that conclusion. and we brought into that room real people who would suffer as a result. >> so the harvard law professor noah feldman who, as you know, testified in favor of president trump's impeachment last year wrote in an op-ed that barrett, who by the

see on election day is disproportionately long lines to vote in republican precincts because democrats have frontked so many early votes where is republicans are really holding out for november 3. >> and trump is in florida today courting senior voters. you're keeping an eye on sumter county, adopted by senior voters at the villages, it could be, so-called, the gray revolt. what are you seeing there? >> yeah, so, you know, it's going to be difficult this election night to figure out what's going on in a lot of states because a lot of the upper midwestern states are going to need probably days or perhaps even weeks to be able to count all of those mail-in ballots that lean "d." one thing i'll be watching early on election night is florida. and in florida, counts are permitted to begin counting ballots 22 days before election day. and i'll be watching sumter county which is where the bulk of the villages it, the largest retirement community in florida. the median age there is 68.9 years old. the trump campaign has placed so much importance on the villages that pence visited last weekend, trump is h

that's the democratic leader of the senate in front of the supreme court mentioning justices by name and in effect saying, if you rule the wrong way, bad things are going to happen. for multiple years now, democrats in this body and on the presidential campaign stump have sought to revive the discredited concept of court packing. every high school student in america learns about franklin roosevelt's unprecedented assault on judicial independence. so now they're thinking about repeating it. former vice president biden has spent decades condemning the idea here in the senate immediately says he'll look into it. most importantly it the late ruth bader ginsburg said last year -- last year -- when asked about this, she said, nine is the right number. that's the vacancy we're filling right now. i don't think any of them have quoted heard on this issue, have you? ruth bader ginsburg said nine is the right number. these latest threats follow decades of subtler attempts to take independent judges and essentially is put them on political probation. you don't rule the way i want, something dire

tell you, catalyst is a data company it provides data, analytics and other services to democrats, academics, and frontsue advocacy organizations. >> the information that's coming in from 27 states that report party affiliation show that democrats are leading the way with more than 5.4 million ballots cast so far. republicans have cast more than 2.4 million votes. keep in mind polling shows that democrats prefer voting early or by mail. republicans prefer to vote on election day, and just because a democrat casts a ballot, there's no guarantee that it is for the democratic candidate. just keep that in mind when you look at the numbers. >> uh-huh. among 36 states reporting ballots cast by gender, more than 7.3 million men have voted, but they're outpaced by nearly 9 million women who have also cast ballots to date. experts predict with all of that that we just gave you this larger turnout this election compared to 2016 and why, just look at your screen. it's scenes like this that suggest there is definitely voter enthusiasm here. >> we see these long lines all the time across the country. in kansas, nor

front run the election. the polls are suggesting more of a democratic sweep. e lookingwhen you at your research, do you try and front run the results or not? rob: i don't generally do that. there is a very simple reason that i don't. which sectors are likely to benefit in the next administration, whoever that might be, is something that you can guess with reasonable reliability, but so can the market. guessou have to do is more insightfully than the market. that is the challenge. what is likely to happen in a biden administration or a trump administration. the market knows what is likely to happen and is discounting that already based on the probabilities of those outcomes. if the market already made that move, why would i want to pile on in the hopes that the move is bigger than the market is expecting? caroline: always great to get your perspective. great to have his thoughts. we are looking at snap jumping 20% as they managed to add more users than expected. also, we saw third-quarter revenue rising 52%. this would be a record high for snap. joe: so may be t

that the other democrats lack. he's the front runner. congressman collins are scrapping with ooemp for the republican vote. and trying to out dual each other for the far right conservative vote. they feel like going towards the middle doesn't make any sense for them. both of them are out there with very scathing ads. mostly attacking each other rather than focusing on the reverend. the polls don't show him 50% either. they can shift the attention to him once one of them makes it to the run off in january. >> why are there two republicans going for the seat? he's in a prominent position in the house. so it's not like he's a back bencher. why haven't gop georgiaens coalessed around one candidate? >> great question. he was the prominent republican one of the most defenders of trump during impeachment during the judiciary committee. essentially, president trump and allies really encouraged governor kemp to appoint collins to that open seat. that was left vacant by retired senator. instead the governor wanted to go a different route. pick an

the republican is way out in front of the democrat. >> and you kind of wonder if it were a close contestwould they still be lovey-dovey the way they are in this ad? >> reporter: it sometimes seems people can't agree with themselves. we showed that 30 second spot to people in san francisco and they were pretty much divided right down the middle. that's true, but i wish you wouldn't interrupt me. well, why don't you have your mask on? >> it reminds of like ten years ago before the two parties were polarized. that conversation seems unlikely today. >> steams rhetorical barb can reveal the important character of aspects of ones opponent. >> remember voters are the reason for negative ads. >> despite what people say, negative campaigns work. oh, i hate them, i loathe them, i want nothing to do with tem. they work. >> my team is chris peterson. >> and i'm spencer cox. and we approve this message. >> the two terry mcsweeneys there reporting for us. well, many republicans are not voting for president trump. among the latest defections the former chair of the republican national committee, michae

in front of the democratically elected this time. they want another state and. aggressive state excluding minorities they do not stand in the traditional tradition for which this democracy is they do not stand for democracy no today we stand firmly on the foundation of freedom movement the history of democracy in this country. correspondent nina course is still with us nina steinmeyer criticized those waving imperial flags in front of the reichstag please give us some more background on this. we saw those imperial flags. couple of weeks ago when there was a big demonstration that was organized against the current restrictions that the government has imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic here in germany and while the boss majority of demonstrators are not considered to be right wing all right wing extremists even there was some groups who are considered to be even neo nazis who also mingled and make in with the demonstrators some of them tried then to storm the german parliament and they were waving this flag this flag goes back to the german guy from the 1

something we've heard consternation around from some democrats in the orbit, wondering if they're campaigning hard enough. especially when, on the messaging frontthis democratic campaign has done a lot to try to stave off the idea of complacency, both for voters on the ground, trying to make sure just because they've seen stability in the polls that show biden ahead, they will still make sure they get out to vote, and they say they're campaigning like they're trailing, though biden has taken not necessarily a ramp-up in his campaigning the closer we've gotten to election day. today, for example, he went to church. he's going to be appearing at a virtual concert tonight that his campaign is hosting for grassroots donors. it's his running mate, though, kamala harris, who is out on the campaign trail as key messenger for the ticket today. her message is what i heard from joe biden in pennsylvania yesterday, which is a real focus on the pandemic and the need to get it under control. you were just talking to kelly o'donnell about those comments from the white house chief of staff mark meadows saying they're not needing to get the pandemic under cont

democrats make clear they object onto cold fronts, first regarding the process itself. >> yes judge, i think this hearing is a sham. and also on the issue of health care. democrats claiming should she be confirmed, they will serve as a vote to strike down the law. because they are trying to get a justice onto the court and trying to make sure they can strip away the protections of the affordable care act. >> but many legal experts are highly skeptical of that hypothetical scenario actually becoming a reality. >> no way you can take that to the bank. >> democrats are also demanding that she commit to recusing herself should a 2020 election dispute land at the supreme court. >> your participation, let me be very blunt, in any case involving donald trump's election, would immediately do explosive enduring harm to the court's legitimacy and to your own credibility. >> probing questions about her devout catholic faith during her 2017 confirmation hearing. today, republicans make clear that they won't tolerate a repeat. >> deciding which would displace our good and which religious beliefs a

getting a more clear indication that the biden campaign has actually become a front-runner clearly and, of course, the democraticfront running as well. this democratic sweep notion, perhaps there won't be as much election uncertainty as markets once priced in to your point on the fed, jerome powell made it pretty clear that he thinks we need fiscal stimulus, and he thinks we need to do it soon. we can't go too big on fiscal stimulus i think the markets are starting to think whether it becomes before elections or after elections, we probably will, at some point, face a sizeable package. that could be combined with ongoing for sure perhaps even as you alluded to more qe purchases, more clarity around asset purchases as well we don't think the fed is taking its foot off the brakes here at this point in this economic recovery it's too soon. so we may have a nice combination of the fed going forward. >> josh brown with yields rising, do you get interested in the banks? >> well, yields have threatened this level several times and they always fade so until -- look, you look at the technicals on things like the ten-year

front. both parties have taken advantage of it this time. democratsave raised a lot of money from large donors. but as you say, the heartening i think this is the tremendous increase in small donors and that's in part because of the ease of being able to use the internet to get small donations there that can add up very, very quickly. an incredible amount of money coming in that way. of all the democracy reforms that i expect the democrats will pursue, i think this will be lower on their priority list, except for the things that i mentioned like disclose and higher on the list is going to be voting rights and voting reforms. >> how much does money matter, norm? let's look at a race like st. louis, jamie harris has raised so much more than lindsey graham. how much do you think it matters? does it matter at a certain point? >> you know, i think what really matters is, getting enough money to get your message across and certainly that's not been a problem either for jamie harrison or more lindsey graham. in an election like this where attitudes are harde

and, boy, did the democrats really have a lot to learn on that front. rry: she, as you say, made a very strong case. i think democrats quietly were saying how impressive she was. a lot of republicans, a lot of conservatives, this is president trump's third pick to the supreme court, looks like she's going to be confirmed. it's a pretty fundamental change in the balance on the supreme court. conservatives feel pretty good about that. but according to the opinion polls, president trump continues to trail joe biden. do you think some keys are thinking -- conservatives are thinking, you know, i'll take that that trade-off, i'll take a conservative supreme court which is going to defend the constitution and defend the values of this country even if it means that we have to have a joe biden presidency and a democratic senate? do you think there's a kind of -- normal people are thinking maybe in those terms now? >> i don't think so, especially when you have joe biden now saying he's open to packing the supreme court. so what they're saying is forget who's on th

president trump is escalating his defiance of democratic norms on multiple fronts two days after hishe-rails debate performance and just 33 days before the election. the white house is now refusing to clearly and directly say he denounces white supremacy while falsely claiming he has done that when he hasn't. also tonight, the president is spreading more baseless claims about ballot fraud, trying to ramp up fear and doubt asly

opening statements, democrats argued amy coney barrett's nomination poses a threat to the affordable care act, which will be considered by the supreme court on november 10. in a united front many democrats spoke alongside large posters showing the faces of people who rely on the affordable coverage, arguing that barrett's confirmation could mean the end of health care for millions during the pandemic. barrett's four day hearing is taking place in person even after the white house ceremony worker nomination announced less than two weeks ago was labeled a coronavirus "super-spreader event." republican senator mike lee, who recently tested positive for covid-19 after attending the white house celebration, spoke at the hearing without wearing a mask. and the senate judiciary committee chair lindsey graham who refused to take a test by before this hearing presided.d. for more, we go to the steps of the supreme e court in washingt, d.c., where we're joined by ana marÍa archila, co-executive director of the center for popular democracy. she joined monday'ss protest and will b be protesting agagain to. welcome back to democracy now! one of the times we had you on was when you wen

she was asked that in the confirmation hearing in front of senators. but democratsg been essentially nominated and pushed through by trump and republican senators, she will be inclined to take the decision that favours him. there are also a number of cases coming up in the next week or so about ballots and how long states can count postal ballots for, so wisconsin, pennsylvania, north carolina is well, they all have such cases. technically, amy coney barrett could start work tomorrow, we don't know whether she will but that is the worry for democrats, that not only could she shape the actual way that the proceedings of the election, but any result that comes out of it if he should go to the supreme court. just keeping an eye on the white house, in case a ceremony to celebrate the confirmation does go ahead. it's always pretty likely that confirmation was, the vote was going to go president trump's wave. the democrats particularly incensed because in 2016, i think the republicans refused to consider president 0bama's nominee much further away from an election? yes, e

judiciary committee was considering this very nominee senate democrats did exactly that that the senator from california literallyou implied in front of the entire country that judge barrett was too catholic to be a judge. here is the quotation, the dog within you she said and that is of concern. the senior senator from illinois do you consider yourself to be the orthodox catholico told her you would be a catholic judge no one imagined these exchanges but they happened. on video. before the entire nation. multiple sitting centers on - - senators said that judge barrett's religious views created doubt about her fitness to serve. outside the senate it was not imaginary when one faith group that judge barrett and a family participate in came under cyberattack a few days ago. the membership director was reportedly hacked just as judge barrett emerged as a front runner. nobody had to imagine the ominous articles from the ap, reuters, "washington post" and politico to imply there wasle something questionable of our faith practice. but to send a contributing editor to snoop around church buildings to report what a youth group that written

democrats plan to make health care and protection of obamacare front and center.become a very big issue in your re-election campaign in your michigan district. i don't know if you're going to have time to watch hearings in the course of the next few days, but what are you listening for in terms of health care? >> well, listen, as soon as ruth bader ginsburg passed away, we didn't have a chance to mourn her and we were thinking about the consequences of her passing away. for me, having lived through some health care issues with my mother, november 10th being the beginning of the case to repeal the entirety of the aca was first on my mind and the fact that literally come spring 20 million people could lose their health care, in particular, people with pre-existing conditions can again potentially be gouged for having to be born with something. it struck me intensely. now we know that the other side of the aisle feels like protecting people with pre-existing conditions is a good talking point, but had years to come up with a plan, no one can articulate it, and they'r

in front of them democratically elected it's no wonder sometimes having your own do you need food usable big they want another which states them and are thought to terry and i'm aggressive state excluding minorities they do not stand in the traditional the tradition for which this democracy stands they do not stand for democracy no today we stand firmly on the foundation of a democrat freedom movement and the history of democracy in this country we see a future with what it is in the ideas of a hamburger fest the st paul's church the weimar democracy the constitution the peaceful revolution we are proud of these traditions of freedom and democracy proud of these historic roots if our buildout ever avoiding looking into the abyss of the shore are. the farben view the democratic colors of these democratic of this democratic history of the colors of black red gold the colors of unity and justice i have pretty these are the colors of. the country and these are the colors of the flags waving in front of the buildings of our democracy and we will not allow them to i pushed aside that misused o

president trump is escalating his defiance of democratic norms on multiple fronts two days after his off-the-rails debate performance and just 33 days before the election. the white house is now refusing to clearly and directly say he denounces white supremacy while falsely claiming he has done that when he hasn't. also tonight, the president is spreading more baseless claims about ballot fraud, trying to ramp up fear and doubt as early voting is under way in so many parts of the country. we have late-breaking news right now. the trump campaign is launching an attack on the nonpartisan presidential debates commission, warning mr. trump doesn't want any changes that are expected to be announced within the next 48 hours aimed at bringing order to his upcoming two debates with joe biden. all of this, as more than half of the country now seeing a rise in new coronavirus cases. the pan dem you can death toll topping 207,000, and the cdc is now forecasting another 25,000 deaths in a little over three weeks. in a moment, i'll speak to cnn's kaitlan collins who pressed the white house press

my brother said in front of everybody, about 15 or 20 of us, he said you are a democrat, barbara.hat kind of hurts. i did not try to defend it. we got off the subject. i sent him a family means more to me than politics. i made that clear to people when we got into these discussions. my brother has gone up on me a few times when he has tried to discuss politics. tell him that family means more to me than anything. i love my family. i love my brother. i have two other siblings. i think this is the only approach you can have. you have to respect them and accept their views. they are not going to change. that is where we are. pence, to president events yesterday in the sunshine state. president trump will be in sanford, florida, just north of orlando. we will have that rally live tonight. good morning. i just find this topic so spot on because in my situation i ,ived with three republicans and we shared accommodations due to work. newas always the lo democrat. the conversation with one person in particular, he said, you just do not like him because he is a republican. i had to plead t

the black white and red flag of the german empire of $871.00 or even the battle flag in front of the democratically elected parliament. if they want a different country authoritarian and aggressively exclusionary part of a tradition that doesn't stand for our republic or our democracy you know today we stand firmly on the bedrock of a struggle for freedom and a history of democracy. president stand by and there criticizing those waving imperial german flyers in front of the german parliament recently thomas can you give us some background on this. those who are actually waiting those relax in front of the german parliament a few weeks ago many of them belong to a group called the right on their rights group or actually against the german state they don't believe even in the existence of the german state we saw a couple of people here a very small group of people here at the brandenburg gate today also waving some of those imperial flags having t. shirts wearing t. shirts with a conspiracy theory so they were also probably at the protest a few weeks ago here in berlin there are other protests here i

the black white and red flag of the german empire of $871.00 or even the battle flag in front of the democratically elected parliament. if they wanted different country authoritarian and aggressively exclusionary they are part of a tradition that doesn't stand for our republic or our democracy today we stand firmly on the bedrock of a struggle for freedom and a history of democracy. decidedly criticize those right wingers there waving imperial flags in front of the guy starts going to some background. well those flags were flags that we saw during the latest corona and he coronavirus restrictions demonstrations that happened in several places in germany throughout the summer there are some under way also a place we can go where the vast majority of people who are demonstrating against the restrictions are peaceful and they are considered to be sort of not extremists but then there are fringe groups who have tried to also hijack this movement and some of these fringe groups are actually considered nazis neo nazis or right wing extremists and the latest demonstration that happened in berlin some of t

so, yeah, in arkansas, at the "arkansas-democrat gazette," the president's debate disaster is right there on the front page just like it is everywhere. it has to be. it necessarily is, but it does have to share the bill with what else is going on. same thing in wyoming. the wyoming tribune eagle. cheyenne, wyoming, has got their story on the debate alongside the masthead. but right alongside it, they've got their local headline. virus cases sticking around. locally in cheyenne they had to close down because of covid. across the country, here's kentucky. the lexington "herald-leader," they've got it there. and also the state reports more than 1,000 new covid-19 cases. and the "times news" out of idaho, virus case double in the last four weeks. magic valley saw the numbers grow. here's a snapshot of wisconsin. on the west you see the milwaukee paper, "milwaukee journal sentinel." on the right, the paper from madison. their column one, front page lead, state reports crisis. 22% positivity. 22%. on the right, the madison paper, yeah, they've got their debate story as well and a picture. but above the fall

thus the democrat leader of the senate in front of the supreme court, mentioning justices by name andin fact saying rule along the way, that things are going to happen. multiple years now, democrats in this body and the campaign have sought to revive the concept of the court. every once about was about on judicial independence so now they are thinking about repeating it. former vice president biden has spent decades condemning the idea here in the senate saying you look into it. most important, the late ruth bader ginsburg said last year, last year when asked about this, she said none is the right number. that's the vacancy we are filling right now. i don't think anyone has quoted her on this issue ruth bader ginsburg said nine is the right number. these latest threats follow the attempt to take independent judges and essentially put them on political probation, rule the way i want, something might happen. how many consecutive nominees have democrats insisting would tip the balance of the court, how often do wep hear that? tip the balance of the court. has anyone tallied up how many h

in a short speech in front of hundreds of cheering supporters on the south lawn of the white house he railed againstjoe biden, saying his democratic would turn the us into a socialist nation. the president's campaign says he'll attend events in florida,

isakson, who retired last year. 20 candidates are on the ballot, including eight democrats and six republicans. the front runners are incumbent republican senator kelly loeffler, the millionaire republican donor who was appointed earlier this year to temporarily fill the seat, republican doug collins and democrat reverend rafael warnock, senior pastor of the historic ebenezer baptist church, the former church of the reverend dr. martin luther king, jr. in georgia, senate races go to runoffs if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. it is possible both georgia races could go to runoffs in january and could be the deciding factor in who controls the senate. to talk all about the races in georgia and more, we go to atlanta to speak with emory professor carol anderson. author of many books, including "one person, no vote: how voter suppression is destroying our democracy." you have joe biden in the last days of this race very unusual for a democrat instead democratic presidential candidate won there since 1992, going to warm springs, georgia, to give one of his final speeches there of the election

2 weeks supporting don't chance nomination for the supreme court that the democrats are really trying to put key issues in front of the american public saying that look if we get a conservative justice on the court then things like the affordable care act may be at risk and that's because there's a case going to the court the week after the election so it's not just political posturing that they're making a political point in something that used to be almost bipartisan the if someone came in front of the judiciary committee and they were well qualified and people thought they could do the job then they got the votes of the bitter ginsburg went through the fill senate on a 963 vote so this is going to split on party lines if the democrats show up and there's been some talk that they want the still republican still have 12 votes to push it through and so then it will go to the through the senate what the democrats really want to do is turn public opinion because there are 2 republican senators in the full senate who said they won't vote because it's too close to an election they think the next president should be

this is the closing message for democrats in the midterms in 2018, defending the affordable care act. it's certainly frontfor democrats now. gary peters, a senator, faces a tough reelection campaign, joining biden for this event, as well as gretchen whitmer. we haven't seen her with biden since that plot against her. it will be interesting to see if the vice president responds to what we heard from the president last night. >> we just got the topics for the next and final debate between biden and president trump. obviously, there's supposed to be three. it's only going to be two this time. walk us through what this next debate will look like, obviously hosted by our dear friend, kristen welkewelker. >> hard at work developing the questions and topics. we'll have some overlap from the first debate but some new topics. one, fighting covid-19. of course part of that first debate, definitely going to be a topic of conversation again. next, american families. also climate change, an issue that wasn't discussed as a full topic block in the first debate. then national security and presidential leadership. as we

democrats are looking at this map saying, wow, we have a lot of golden opportunities. >> yes e. it's true on a lot of frontss is something democrats are wary to talk about through the summer months. they were saying it's going to tighten, it's going to tighten. we're not expected to have these leads as we get up to the fall or election day. they're weeks out and they're still looking at the mini roadmap, not just 270 big electoral vote but to a big electoral college victory. iowa, ohio, florida, must-win places for donald trump. so for biden and some of those democrats on the grounds in those states, they're starting to think a little better. they're starting to see joe biden should invest in these places and he can close the deal here. for example, the logistics concern to follow the winner on election night, a moral call to see if we beat trump by a lot, republicans see that and think differently into a possible joe biden administration. but they also want to lay the ground work for a robust presidency. they don't want the kind of obama-esque 2009 when they're trying to recalibrate and get to the middle w
