the president called jocelyn benson a "rogue secretary of state.." she's a democrat in the state of michigan. she fired back last night. i want you to hear what she has to say about this, harris. >> it's also a reflection of what will be happening in our state in the months ahead, which is an effort to misinform and confuse voters about their rights in the state. we see it happening nationally. >> it's not only the governor and the secretary of state to michigan. the attorney general there has also piled on. she wrote an open letter today, harris, saying president trump must -- she's basically instructing him to wear a mask at this plant. he was at the honeywell plant last week in phoenix where he says -- or, a couple weeks ago, i should say, in phoenix -- where he claims he wore a mask but no campus pick that up. she says he must wear a mask today. he was asked about this on the south lawn today. he said, "we will see to that." we will see when we get the videotape of him when he's in michigan. he will be in ypsilanti, michigan, normally a car parts

i'm joined by the person trump was attacking, jocelyn benson, michigan's democratic secretary of state and responded to the president today. i have a name, it's lojocelyn benson and we send applications, not ballots. it did not stop there after trump rewrote his tweet correcting it. benson wrote back, hi again, still wrong. every michigan voter has a right to vote by mail and i have the authority to make sure they know how to exercise this right like my colleagues are doing. secretary of state. great to have you here. i wonder if you can explain the law and what you are overseeing with respect to the general election in the fall. >> yeah, well, in michigan first thanks for having me and giving me an opportunity to clarify and really amplify citizen's right to vote under the state constitution. in november of 2018. citizens voted overwhelmingly to give themselves the right to vote by mail supported by citizens on both sides of the political spectrum and something citizens on both sides of the political spectrum have done. with the national spotlight on our sate and the pandemic happenin

also my name is jocelyn benson, and benson is here tonight. welcome to "primetime." >> thanks for having me and so great to see you feeling better. >> thanks very much. i'm one of the lucky ones. so for those who are monitoring this situation in your state, one, aren't you worried that there's going to be massive fraud if you do this because there's so much fraud all the time when people do mail-in voting. don't you know that? >> well, we've got provisions in place to ensure just like in states that have been doing this for decades that the vote by mail system is secure, verified by voter signature. really as we know the data shows voter fraud is infanttezmal. and what we also know is dangerous for our democracy is chaos and misinformation. that's what we're really trying to cut through today as we've responded to clarify the president's misinformation about how elections work in michigan. >> but you must have a bad motive because this is all a boogeyman because covid is not that bad and people can go out and vote just like they always have. i

jocelyn benson responded, "michigan sent out applications, not ballots, just like my g.o.p.leagues in iowa, georgia, nebraska, and west virginia." a trump campaign official claims in michigan, even sending out an unsolicited application is against the law, but a constitutional law expert tells cbs news that is not true. with the election many months away, one thing is clear-- the president already focused on the conversation about voting rights. norah. norah. rights. norah. >> o >> o'donnell: weijia, thank you. and as the number of airline fliers plummeted to record lows, customer complaints soared by more than 350% in march compared to a year earlier. at the top of the list: demands for refunds for unused tickets. but now the airlines are pushing back. cbs' kris van cleave reports. >> reporter: karen gossman booked her ultimate family vacation to spain, then covid-19 happened. >> i'm angry about the whole thing. >> reporter: she canceled the trip and asked delta vacations for a full refund, but ended up with a $3,100 travel voucher. what do you think about not being able to

secretary jocelyn benson responded, we sent applications, not ballots, just like my gop colleagues in, nebraska, and west virginia. tuesday, she tweeted about the ballot applications, no voters should have to choose between their health, and their vote. >> reporter: president trump will visit on thursday on a plant making ventilators. ray bogan, >>> it is a day the restaurant owners have been waiting for. napa county becomes the first area to allow dining in in the restaurants. the news has restaurant owners making some big changes. good evening anyone. i am frank sommerville. >> i'm juli working from home tonight. the modifications allow retail stores to allow customers inside their shops. we are joined with more on all of this. >> if any phrase applies to the reopening of napa's restaurants, it is a single phrase that says this, easy does it. >> it is fantastic. >> that was the napa golden bagel cafcowners first reaction to opening his eatery. >> we had quite a few customers sit down and eat. >> joe says he will follow the rules no matter how strict. >> first i'm going to ask that y

after jocelyn benson's office said it was mainly ballot applications and not actual ballots, the president revised his tweet but continued to insist it was illegal to which benson replied, poppycock. >> the cares act enabled us and my comic colleagues in several states to mail those out. >> that comes as michigan is dealing with another crisis, extensive flooding from two dams i collapsed. president trump would not say what funds would be withheld nor what he thought was illegal though it's clear he opposes mass mail in ballots. >> president trump: mailing ballots are very dangerous. tremendous fraud involved in tremendous illegality. >> established case law has found it's illegal for local clerks to send out unsolicited ballot absentee applications although it's possible that she could claim because she's mailed them to all 7.7 million registered voters in the state of michigan and there could not be any hint of bias. this is one of those cases that could be well decided with a trip to the courts. >> bret: we will follow that. we are learning additional details about susan rice concerning

she responded to the president today, quote, hi, i also have a name, it's jocelyn benson. and we sent applications, not ballots. just like my colleagues. trump rewrote his tweet, he wrote back, hi again, still wrong. every michigan registered voter has a right to vote by mail. i have the authority and responsibility to make sure they have that right just like my colleagues are doing. it's great to have you here. i wonder if you could literally explain the law in your state and you are overseeing right now with respect to the general election in the fall. >> yeah. well, in michigan, first thanks for having me and give the opportunity to clarify citizen's right to vote in michigan which they have under our state constitution. in november 2018, citizens voted overwhelming to give themselves this right to vote by mail. it was supported by citizens on both sides of the political spectrum. it's citizens on both sides of the political spectrum have done in the several elections we had over 18 months or so. of course now with the national spotlight on our state and the pandemic in

and in a statement, the michigan secretary of state, jocelyn benson, said the president is still wrongcorrected tweet, she says that every michigan registered voter has a right to vote by mail, "i have the right and exercise to make sure they know how to exercise that right." the nevada secretary of state, who is a republican, defended her decision to move to a mail-in-only primary in that state's upcoming primary. she says she lawfully declared the 2020 primary election as a mail-in election and in a recent court 0order, a federal judge ruled she lawfully exercised her authority granted to her by state law. so it appears there is very little basis for these tweets from the president this morning. >> that's a polite way of saying it. abby, thank you so much, appreciate your time. >>> there have been promising new signs about a vaccine and treatment for coronavirus. why haven't we seen the data to back these claims up? i'm going to talk to a former u.s. surgeon general about that, next. managing type 2 diabetes? you're on it. exercising often and eating healthy? yup, on it there too. yo

afterward, president trump posted a third tweet, once again attacking michigan's secretary of state, jocelyn benson who says every registered voter has the right to vote by mail. >> this is a time of true great uncertainty and so what we did by mailing every registered voter and a.m. kagpplication toy mail in our state, to give a certainty that our elections happen it year. >> president trump was reminded he cast a mail-in vote. >> the president is the president which means he's in washington. he's unable to cast his vote in florida, his state of residence. for him, that's why he had to do a mail-in vote. he supports mail-in voting for a reason. when you have a reason you are unable to be present. right now we're far from november 3rd. >> later today, trump will tour this ford plant outside detroit. now outfitted to manufacture ventilators and ppe. the facility requires everyone to wear masks at all times. once again, the president did not commit to do so. >> i don't know. i haven't even thought of it. it depends. i mean, certain areas i would and certain areas i don't. but i will certainly

>> well, i told -- she's a friend of mine, jocelyn. to let it get to her and we had to keep looking forward. we need the president. we need those federal funds. the congress is the one that appropriated them. we've got a lot -- i will say, i want to point out that the president and the governor talked yesterday afternoon about midland. he did send -- she's very grateful for them. i mean, it's a devastating myriad -- they had to evacuate, homes are totally gone. i have friends there, their homes are gone. the homes have moved. they can't be found. we just all have to come together under covid. we'll figure out how we help this area that's devastating but there's another lesson to be learned. the dams that broke have been identified. they had withdrawn the license of one them. they had been identified by civil engineers as being unsafe. this is the time to come together and pass that infrastructure bill that's been kicked down the road too on. >>> in 2018, there were warnings about these very dams. >> that's correct. >> the president fee

trump's tweets came a day after michigan secretary of state jocelyn benson tweeted -- "no voter should have to choose between their health & their vote. and every michigan citizen has a right under our state constitution to vote by mail. with funding from the federal cares act, i am ensuring every registered voter has the tools to conveniently exercise that right." public support of mail-in voting is high across the u.s. one recent poll showed three quarters of americans support universal accessss to mail voti. the labobor department releases its latest unemployment figures today, with economists estimating a another 2.5 milliln u.s. workers fil joboble clms ovevethe last week. the total mbmber onewlwly unemployedeople isapapidly apoaoachinnearly 4millllio a levenot seenince theeight of t great dression. ndreds omcdonal's woers went on rike arod the uned states wnesday danding t fast fd giant ke full responbility f the safy of rkers ancustomerduring t pandic. thiss ayeshaownsend, chago mcdold'employeen stke for psonal prective equient, paisick lea, alth insurance benefits, and hazardrd

he later amended his tweet after michigan secretary of state jocelyn benson responded noting she'd sent applications for ballots, not the ballots themselves. just like her republican counterparts in three other states. because that is how absentee voting works. secretary of state sends you an absentee ballot application, you fill it out, then you get to vote by mail. you think donald trump would actually know that, because he himself voted by mail in florida's march primary. that, of course, hasn't stopped him from stepping up his attacks in recent weeks claiming that mail-in voting is ripe with fraud and puts republicans at a disadvantage. a reminder, there's no evidence of any widespread voter fraud in the united states according to numerous investigations and studies. i'm joined now by senator kamala harris of california. senator, i'm going to give you an opportunity to respond back to the president. he seems to think that voting by mail is cheating and bad. >> yeah. mr. president, it is a federal crime to withhold money from states with the purpose of interfering with people's right

you for that,ank jocelyn. a couple thoughts.odon't know what is going happen with schools in the fall. i don't know if the state of maryland has decided to cancel school but new york has decided to cancel school for the rest of this academic year. we don't know what will happen in the fall but we know we need a plan to make sure the schools are not the source of infection. one reason is for children like ears who might be at greater of a pre-existing medical condition. the virus bares most but not all children and can cause significant problems for many kids. we need a plan for opening the schools and i know school systems across the united states are hard at work. i will say what i have said to other callers. you cannot control what other people are doing but you can control what you are doing. ensuring your child knows how to wash their hands and that she should do that a lot and more often now than in the past and certainly before she eats and after she uses the restroom, maybe giving her some hand sanitizer, hope way it will

. >>> this week the president tweeted harsh criticism of michigan secretary of state jocelyn benson,ectly stating she mailed out more than 7 million absentee ballot, calling her rogue and threatening to pull funding from michigan. she was quick to correct the president, she sent applications for absentee ballots. joining mess is secretary benson. thank you for clarifying that. i'm curious of your initial reaction to that tweet? were you surprised? horrified? that he called you rogue, and then threatened funding? >> first, i noticed it was incorrect. we didn't mail ballots. we mailed applications, as you mentioned. then, of course, he tweeted again several hours later correcting that, so we got through to him on that point. still didn't get my name, but he did incorrectly note we somehow didn't have the authority to do what is essential to my job as chief election officer here for the state. it was an neck in efforts to misinformed the public about their rights to vote. i will stand up and fight on tho those. >> when and why did you begin mailing out the applications? how did the pres
