maybe not necessarily racism here in the state of iowa but how do we tackle those issues of poverty? is can be urban, it can be rural. i see it across the communities in the state of iowa. we really do have to provide opportunity out there. i have been working in a bipartisan way with friends and other members in the senate to do so. >> next question. theresa greenfield, do you think this summer's protest were helpful or harmful in raising awareness of racial issues in iowa? ms. greenfield: i will always [indiscernible] that includes the right to free speech and protest. i will tell you what, looting, damaging property, that is not part of protesting. i was a small business owner. i do not like to see the damage to our storefronts and to our properties. but absolutely, we do need to march. we do need to protest in a nonviolent and peaceful way to make sure our voices are being heard. i am proud of the black lives matter leaders in our state who absolutely predominately have been making their voices heard in a nonviolent way. >> i do have a follow-up for you. the phrase defunding the p

yes, to that point, we are lucky to live in iowa that we have iowa state and the university of iowa and the iowa farm foundation and leopold center. they know the practices that are effective. many of our farmers have been doing these things and doing them on their own. but we need to have foreign policy that lends itself to this research, and allows an opportunity to really get things done. getyear when we didn't things done on a water quality bill in the senate, i hosted a water quality summit locally so that we could have those conversations, bring experts to the table, bring urban and rural people together and really talk about what would make a difference. what came out of that was that rural people said, hey, i could do more than i am doing, and i want to know more about this practice. the urban people came and said, it's not as easy as i thought it was going to be. we've got to wed these things together and work together to get it done. moderator: quick follow-up to each of you. yes arnon this. should the federal government follow california's lead and set a goal for doing away w

an average of 50,000 new cases a day across the united states. iowaere the president is visiting this evening, there has been a masve spike in infections. it is one of the states where hospitalizations have risen dramatically in the past week. it is a hotspot. you heard the orders from the governor. it is unlikely the crowds who are massing to the rally are likely to follow that. the governor would appear to have no power to enforce that particular mask ban. president trump going ahead. iowa is a state he took very easily from hillary clinton in 2016. he is trailing joe biden at that particular state in the moment. for him, iowa is all-important in a terms of the election and he is prepared to risk tens of thousands or thousands of people without masks in order to achieve that aim. >> thank you. staying in the u.s., -- a justice department probe ordered by the trump administration into alleged misconduct by obama officials has ended with no evidence of wrongdoing. the washington post says the unmasking of american citizens mentioned in reports in 2016

iowa would be competitive. that's where we find ourselves. the stateit hard by coronavirus as well, not just the presidential campaign at play, senator joanie ernst is also in a very tight race. >> folks, is it a tough election cycle or what? >> reporter: iowa senator joanie ernst feeling the october heat. >> it is a tough, tough year. but you know what? i'm going to finish first. >> reporter: yet her re-election is not entirely in her control. with republican fortunes tied to president trump. >> that's the real terror of this all, that trump takes down the whole ticket, the whole republican side of the senate. >> reporter: mark mcallister voted for trump four years ago. said he won't do so again. >> i think he has been extremely divisive to our people. i think, i mean, i use the word despicable, i do think he is despicable. >> despicable? >> yes. >> reporter: in iowa where he won by nine percentage points, polls show he is locked in a tight race with joe biden. republican officials are nervously watching the suburbs as the president's shaky support th

iowa. all states mr.rump carried last time and gives you a sense of how much trouble he is in right now. >> seven days to go. jim acosta reporting for us, stand by. we will get back to you. >>> i want to get to the biden campaign. the former vice president is trying to flip georgia, a state hasn't voted for a democratic presidential candidate in almost 30 years. cnn jessica dean is covering that for us in georgia and on the scene. what is the former vice president's message today? >> his closing argument is very much like the argument he began this campaign with. it all goes back to a battle for the soul of the nation, character being on the ballot, about bringing americans together. we are here in warm springs, georgia, where fdr had his little white house and he would come here for the healing waters for his polio. vice president biden talked today about healing both from coronavirus pandemic, but also from the vitaminroil and the ba and forth of what faces our nation today. >> few words better to descr

akin to kissing babies and showing up at the iowa state fair to eat a pork chop on a stick. the fact that he would not do it is reflective of the fact that his core ideology is transactional. if a group is pro trump, he is generally pro that group or very likely to repudiate them. >> also retweeting people who are saying crazy inaccurate things like joe biden trying to get seal team 6 killed, and that it is okay to retweet like retweets don't equal endorsements when he is president of the united states. another wild thing that we saw yesterday was the president trying to pedal this idea that 85% of mask wearers catch covid. can you make sense of the study that he was trying to elude to and how he mangled it. >> it is hard to make sense of his interpretation of the study. what he was referencing was a cdc study where respond donants essentially understanding peoples views towards masks. the 85% number that he references had nothing to do with people saying that because of the mask they caught covid-19. it had nothing to do with it. 80% of them suggested they had questions, th

donald trump went to iowa to campaign because he is in desperate trouble in iowa. a state that he won by ten points four years ago. the latest iowa pole of likely voters shows joe biden tied with donald trump at 49%. "the new york times" reports that polling data shows joe biden is building a formidable coalition of voters. democrats agonized over whether their best path to the presidency was to lure back the white working class voters who defected to the president, or to increase turnout among democratic voters who may have stayed home or supported minor party candidates like jill stein. the survey suggests that biden is succeeding on both fronts by at once peeling off a modest but crucial sliver of the president's former supporters, and benefitting from a significant advantage among voters who either backed a minor party candidate four years ago or didn't vote at all. democratic vice presidential candidate senator kamala harris used her final moments in today's supreme court confirmation hearing to make this point. >> these proceedings, i believe, lack legitimacy in the

barron's fine. >> reporter: tonight, the president is making his first campaign stop in iowa since january. for a statet wasn't supposed to be competitive, the race is now tied, even though mr. trump won by nearly 10 points in 2016. the visit comes as iowa surpassed 100,000 coronavirus cases this week and has logged a recent surge in hospitalizations. >> i'm in such perfect shape. >> reporter: even after catching covid-19 himself, the president is holding one packed event after another. this billboard points to the site of tonight's rally. an estimated 10,000 people are attending, defying federal guidelines limiting large gatherings in central iowa to 25. with biden leading nationwide and in most swing states, president trump must make up ground with seniors, a group he won by seven points in 2016, but now finds himself splitting evenly with biden. mr. trump is also struggling to gain the support of suburban women, which may have prompted this direct plea in pennsylvania on tuesday: >> suburban women, will you please like me? ( cheers and applause ) please. please. i saved your damn neighborhood, okay?

iowa. i mean, these are states he won by a considerable amount four years ago. iowa he won by nine points. ohio, nine points. he's campaigning in states that he had close to double-digit leads in and, you know, four years ago, which means he is -- has seen a considerable evaporation of support to joe biden in states that he expected to win. and i'll just say, you know, i think his whole strategy has really backfired. he's wanted to make voting so difficult for everybody that people have gotten around it, and they're voting early to overcome his suppression. in large numbers. i think has strategy has just really backfired. >> you know, and, you know, jelani, he showed a line of people that was just on and on and on. he almost got through the whole song. i have friends sending me similar pictures out of georgia, out of all over the country. you have "the washington post" reporting that closed-door sessions of leading republicans telling their activists be not afraid of accusations you're a voter suppresser. they're saying own it, own voter suppression. if your whol

i'd like to be the democratic nominee for president of the united states of america. >> in iowa an earlyst biden was bunched with others but his -- near the top of the polls. but his attention was split. >> there was a mismatch between the expectation of joe and what was going on in the campaign. the sort of basic stuff wasn't getting done. >> but that was nothing compared to what unfolded next. >> live from the iowa state fairgrounds in des moines. election '88. >> at the end of a key debate at the iowa state fair, biden used some of the stump speech that included quotes from british politician, a life story but it wasn't biden's life and it was delivered without any attribution. >> why is it joe biden -- >> what am i? the first in 1,000 generations. >> the first in his family. >> to be able to get the university. >> ever to go to a university. >> i mean, he had given that speech 25, 30 times and in every case he had attributed to kenny. he didn't plagiarize. >> i don't think anybody in the campaign saw it as a major thing when it happened. >> but it was, especially after a staffer from

in 2012, iowa was a blue state, it was a obama state. in 2008 iowa was a blue state.ma/biden state. there are more counties in the state of iowa -- it's basically a third of the counties in the entire state, one-third of them went obama, obama, trump. there was more obama, obama, trump movement in iowa than any other state individually in 2016. yes, it swung hard to trump in 2016, but this is not a state with a long, rich tradition of voting for republicans. it was an obama state twice. wasn't even that competitive in 2008. >> and indiana, let's not forget indiana and north carolina went to obama in '08, too. do florida, please, because i'm getting text messages from florida daily in which every time a poll comes out showing biden in the lead, my friends in florida go, i don't believe it. and i'm trying to convince them that it is a lead even if it's not 11 points. what do you think, steve? >> again, with he can take a look here. here's florida. the average here, 5.2. you know, presidential elections, elections? general in florida, they got a reputation for being a li

how the pandemic has impacted that state. iowa has hit a record daily number of cases and hospitalizations this week biden said that donald trump has given up. >>actually game. trust each other again. united again. we could not afford. 4 more years of donald trump. >>biden will hit michigan on saturday where he will hold a joint rally with former president barack obama all told the president is scheduled to make at least 14 stops between saturday and monday and because of covid roles. he's now running out of some where he can host his campaign on tuesday as all the results are coming in. trump told reporters today that he may just stay at the white house can back to you all right justine thank you the early vote has been staggering with more democrats than republicans requesting ballots but. >>republicans insist they will be at the polls in huge numbers on election day. and they argue that trump supporters have been undercounted in the polls. catherine heenan our host of inside bay area politics talk to professor david mckeown of

and the impact is both among seniors, which are significant populations in states like wisconsin and iowaalso has an unfortunately high case load right now. so that's been persistent. i think that's why you've seen a state like iowa be tied for most of this fall, or maybe at best the president's up a couple of points. then, of course, the rise in covid cases in the last week i think have really kept those states tight or him behind, in the case of wisconsin. >> tara, with the covid factor, with big crowd gatherings to see president trump, many folks maskless, is this strategy working where he needs it most? >> i think that the president's irresponsibility and cavalier attitude toward covid will be the ultimate demise of his re-election. covid is raging across the country. 41 states have an increase in covid cases. wisconsin is setting up field hospitals. their hospitals are overrun. el paso is overrun in texas. so it is clear that the president, no matter how much he wishes it away, cannot get away from the impact of covid because it impacts americans' everyday lives, between the economy

united states there is an average of close to 50000 new cases the day once again across the united states iowa where the president is visiting the c evening there's been a massive spike in infections there and it's one of the states where hospitalisations have risen dramatically in the past week so certainly it's a hot spot you heard there the orders from the governor it's unlikely though that the crowds who are massing to the rally are likely to follow that and the governor would appear to have no power to enforce that particular mosque ban but president trump going ahead one good reason i were is a state that he took very easily from hillary clinton back in 2016 he's trailing joe biden in the polls in that particular state at the moment for him i was all important in terms of that election and he's prepared to risk tens of thousands of people or thousands of people without mass in order to achieve that in my county with the latest from washington d.c. mike thank you. well staying in the u.s. justice department probe ordered by the trumpet ministration into alleged misconduct by obama officia

trump can get texas, that would keep him in the game his campaign would also look at ohio and iowa, states he won by nearly 20 points in 2016 they look competitive right now, but they become must-win states for the president. you can see that would start to get his numbers up there as well where else would the trump campaign look? florida. 29 electoral votes the polls look about even right now. trump carried it in 2016 that would put him over 200. everything i'm clicking on here is a must-win state for the president. we're just working through here to see what it would take if he were to get to 270 then his campaign would also need to get north carolina, the polling there looks close. would need to get georgia, the polling there is basically dead even now you see the map is really trying to narrow what would trump need here he would still need two states wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania he would need two. most likely his campaign is targeting pennsylvania aggressively and they're targeting arizona aggressively he would need probably those two but some combination there all those battlegro

these are states he won last time. iowa he won by more on nine points. now it's a tie. these are states he feels he needs to go to, despite the increase in covid cases, because he needs to win these states again. and i guarantee you, he's not going to be talking about the increase in covid in these states. he's going to be saying the same things he's always been saying, which is that we've turned the corner. and i think a lot of people in a state like iowa or a state like florida, for example, will be scratching their heads about that. >> i want to ask you, the president has tweeted or retweeted more than 50 times today before 10:30 a.m. if you have a tweet alert on him, you're getting blown up, right? >> yes. >> just blown up. and many of those tweets were aimed at getting americans to vote for him. what does this tell you about his confidence three weeks out from the election? >> look, i think this is a president that reads the polls even though he says they're fake. he gets internal analysis where it shows that he is trailing. and i think he's just kind of flailing an
