but the real clear politics polling average has former vice president joe biden ahead in the granite stateill a win in new hampshire be for either candidate? here to discuss is the editor-in-chief of the fulcrum. you know, so listen, president trump is working really hard this weekend. so so is vice president biden. three rallies yesterday for the president. the president just is leaving bangor, maine, now. early today he was of in manchester, new hampshire. so, listen, the crowds there are enthusiastic when they show up for the president. but david, you know, the rallies are crowd-pleerses, but will this -- pleasers, but will this help the president win over the undecided voters in new england and across the country? >> so great question. the rallies, of course, are fascinating. the president, he clearly is energized by these rallieses. i watched several of them this weekend. he doesn't lose his energy. he's high energy. but -- and he hated the teleprompter, and he makes fun of the teleprompter. clearly, his aides would like him to make a strong there, very focused teleprompter-centric ca

granite staters and americans across this country. six million americans missed their rent or mortgage payments in september. the lines at food pantries in my state of new hampshire and across the country are growing longer and longer and yet the partisan supreme court nomination seems to be the only priority of the republican leadership here in the senate. the american public are tired of partisan posturing. they need relief and they need it now. that's why congress should pass a bipartisan comprehensive package that addresses the challenges we are facing in the short and long term. congress needs to provide assistance for our hospitals and health care providers, especially nursing homes and long-term care facilities which account for 81% of covid-19 deaths in new hampshire. and that's the highest percentage in the country. we should also provide additional support for child care centers and schools that are working to safely reopen and operate during the fall term. and we shouldn't condition those education dollars on whether a school is physically open as republicans have repeatedly proposed. that decision should be made by state and local off
