it's the midwest.back to 2016, it was the midwest, it was pennsylvania, it was michigan and it was wisconsin that was crucial to president trump's victory. crucial to breaking through that blue wall, breaking the democrats back when it came to reaching 270 electoral votes. and this time around, it's no different. it's exactly why on friday you will see president trump in the state of michigan, in the state of wisconsin, and in the state of minnesota, which he just narrowly lost back in 2016. but don't think the biden campaign is not aware of this reality, as well. where will joe biden be? he'll be in the state of wisconsin, he'll stop by the state of minnesota and be in iowa, see if he can flip a state that went pretty handedly to president trump in 2016. and if you want to know why, everybody's looking at the same map and the same reality right now. it's not just 2016. here's where things stand right now, race ratings, dark blue, that means it's pretty safe democrat. light blue means it leans towards

and they are crisscrossing the midwest.getting details of when barack 0bama mayjoinjoe biden. certainly he is going to be here tonight. he's arriving any minute now. we are just outside the airport now and he is... i'm just here for my team that he has already arrived. he's going to be inside the hangar behind me. we are seeing supporters ofjoe biden and kamala harris outside of theirs hangar and airport. there are alsojump hangar and airport. there are also jump supporters here. hangar and airport. there are alsojump supporters here. far more trump supporters than the joe biden supporters. they are at the moment crisscrossing the midwest which is actually crucial. we are also hearing that president trump will be back here in wisconsin on monday. there really is a desperate push in these last days. you will be watching events for us. thank you very much. in the uk, coronavirus is now spreading faster through england than the government's own worst case scenario. that's according to a report by the scientific advisory group

but the pain across the midwest continues. wisconsin losing 10% of their darety farms in the last year. covid cases there surging. >> i guess i've always wanted to be a farmer. >> reporter: in iowa, mike holden, a third generation farmer, has already cast his ballot for biden. the money that the trump administration then gave to farmers in iowa to keep them afloat was welcomed but not enough? >> yeah. it doesn't make up for the losses we had. it certainly softens a blow. >> reporter: the bailouts not enough for him to overlook what he views as failed leadership and lack of civility in the white house. >> i think he's dangerously reckless. he's brutally insensitive and disrespectful. >> reporter: david, vice president joe biden plans a visit to iowa later this week. and the farmers that i spoke with said, no matter what happens, they will still wake up early and they will do their jobs feeding the country. david? >> our dedicated farmers. kayna, thank you. >>> and with this surge of the virus, a note on the economy tonight. the

, upper midwest, and west.re map, practically, is orange and red. and dr. anthony fauci is now issuing this warning. >> there's going to be a whole lot of pain in this country with regard to additional cases and hospitalizations and deaths. we are on a very difficult trajectory. we are going in the wrong direction. >> dr. fauci also says it could be 2022 before he swe see what calls a return to normalcy in the united states. >> the surging pandemic continues to dominate the campaign in its final days. today, president trump and joe biden hold competing rallies hours apart in tampa, florida. the president will also head to north carolina. former president obama plans to join

one of the so—called swing states is wisconsin in the midwest. biden have been there on friday. my colleague yalda hakim is also there — at a joe biden campaign event. what is happening there? well, joe biden has been speaking to supporters and his main focus has been the coronavirus pandemic. wisconsin is one of the worst affected states and there have been thousands of cases on a daily basis. hospitalisations have been going up as have deaths. with winsconsin so bad, she wa nts to with winsconsin so bad, she wants to keep the focus on the pandemic and the president's handling of it. he wants people to go into that ballot box and focus on the pandemic and really, how the president has continued to dismiss it as something that people should be worried about. earlier in the week i went to a trump rally and really it had a very different feel to this particular rally. the one here in milwaukee is social distanced, were not even allowed to go inside the hangar of the airport. it is being held in an outside area so the aircan come in held in an outsi

but not spending as much time there as across the midwest.ow today here we do expect the president to take on democratic governor gretchen whitmer and continue to criticize her coronavirus lockdown measures as we look at the big picture, those cases are rising, the president is essentially attacking the governor for continuing those restrictions and engaging in that heated rhetoric in the last couple of weeks. he's only expected to rachet that up here today, chuck. >> the problem he's got is her approval rating in michigan is higher than his approval rating in michigan right now. so that is an extraordinarily risky proposition. but, look, the focus on the midwest is because, as you point out, the sun belt, if they lose any of these sun belt states, then they have to sweep the midwest, which is why i think you're seeing them spend so much time there. mike memoli with the biden campaign in des moines, iowa, a little offence in the morning, then a little defense later this afternoon with minnesota. they see, mike, what the trump campaign is up t

in the midwest donald donald trump how to gudrun i mean he did well in the midwest 4 years ago have things changed or does a president still have a hold on the midwest. well donald trump is behind in the polls and playing defense and that's exactly where he was in 2016 around this time he turned that around and he's hoping to do it again by appearing over and over in these midwestern swing states west time trump won largely by flipping a number of democratic leaning states across the midwest he won in pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin those were all upset victories and in ohio that was a one state he was expected to win last time around here he's going to have to win in those states again this time at least get a majority of them even if he wins some of those other big states like florida and last time he did it by winning in rural areas but also in suburbs the cities are pretty solidly democratic territory so we went to michigan and we went to a suburban county that's known as kind of a bellwether it voted for barack obama and then it voted for donald trump it's called mccomb cou

one of those states is wisconsin in the midwest.a hakim is also there — at a joe biden campaign event. early voting is quite low could you explain that for us. it is now four days until the election. actually, a record 85 million americans have voted across the country. the biden camp is slightly worried. they've issued some alarm bells saying that they are concerned about some of the voter turnout from the african—american community and the latino communities in certain parts of the country. here at the biden rally today we are waiting for him to arrive, probably in the next 30 minutes also. you can probablyjust see some of the biden supporters behind me. as well asjump supporters who have come to counter the rally and they are chanting four more years. here in wisconsin there has been about 1.5 million people who have already voted either by mail in or early voting. so it really depends which part of the state that you are in in terms of who is voting and who is not. but both sides are trying to bleed into the traditional voters o

it's centered right now in the midwest and the upper midwest, the great lakes region, but you're seeing cases pick up pretty much everywhere some parts of the country are maintaining better control, like the tristate region, the mid-atlantic states, but everywhere else is seeing cases start to pick up and accelerate. >> we keep hearing, vaccine around the corner, vaccine around the corner. that's, of course, if they can make sure it's safe and it works, but when would everyone have availability? like, when will it really protect us is there a timeline? >> yeah, well, i'm on the board of pfizer, which is one of the companies that has a vaccine in advanced development i think there's a possibility that if the trial's underway right now and pfizer and moderna are the furthest ahead with their vaccines, if those trials are successful, we should have results some point this month. you could see an authorization for a vaccine, for a high-risk population, largely an older population happen at some point this year. and maybe people start to get vaccinated this year but they're not going to have

navarro: it is the key to unlocking the midwest -- the midwest battleground states. if you go across, for example, michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. you understand if you are a blue-collar worker, that joe biden voted for nafta in 1994, he voted for china and the wto. memory, institutional from you and your family, of how we lost over 70,000 factories and 5 million jobs to joe biden's nafta and his courtship of china. and at the president has, as you know, been the toughest president ever to stand up to china. and we have the banking of the rank-and-file, as we did in 2016, but there are other things going on with that. go ahead. >> you said he has been tough on china, but i spoke to larry kudlow yesterday, who did not make any kind of statement about the coming tariffs on china over the pandemic. if he is so tough, why have it further tariffs been announced due to the pandemic? let you and i will larry have your conversations. but what i know about donald tariffs onat we have over $325 billion worth of chinese goods. we have put sanctions on china for human righ

if the midwest is so important, if this will come down to the midwest, states like pennsylvania, michigansconsin, they don't get to count their absentee ballots until election day. so when you have a flood of vote by mail and they can't start until election day, that will likely slow the process down. a lot of thought that pennsylvania could take multiple days, but we don't know. we've never had a coronavirus election before. if this comes down to joe biden winning say a state like florida or north carolina or a state like arizona, they count before election day. they have infrastructure in place that has dealt with mail-in ballots more than the midwest states. so you may have an answer. the reality is, we don't know if we are still going through this by this point next week, the good news is we have young children, we're not used to sleeping any way. but we just don't know at this point. >> this is all true, this is all true. phil, thank you very much. >>> i want to go to bakari sellers, former democratic member of the south carolina house of representatives and scott jennings, former as

are both candidates there today and trump house fertile ground still in the midwest and he sounds like bernie sanders whenever he's in the midwest he's talking about protecting workers' rights withdraw obs protecting them from outsourcing fighting against the trade deals the trans-pacific partnership nafta the sort of things that have much favored by wall street global corporations president obama vice president biden when he was in office and trump has housing achievement to tout he did renegotiate nafta the north american free trade agreement it was enormously welcomed by trade unions in this country president obama campaigned on renegotiating nafta but he didn't all he did was lump everything into the trans-pacific partnership another trade deal which the union said would would continue the outsourcing that has gone on to other countries to cheaper labor and in other countries so he does have that he also has biden's own record generally biden seen as someone who supports their liberal wall street economics he was known you know the senator from delaware obviously by the credit card

since you're in iowa, why don't we start with the midwest? we know that the biden team is going to minnesota, which is a state that was on president trump's sort of reach list. you are in iowa, which is in some ways on the biden reach list. can you just walk through how you see the map in the final days and what the biden campaign is saying about where they're playing defense and where they're going on offense? >> yeah, kasie. it's interesting, because just a few days ago, when biden was in georgia, you had some democrats with 2016 fresh in their minds, saying, what about that blue wall in the midwest? you've got to protect that. you've got to spend some time there. don't think about expanding the map. and then when they announced that they were adding minnesota to today's schedule, in addition to wisconsin and iowa, there were democrats panicking all of a sudden -- oh, my god, does this mean we're losing in these states that we thought we were comfortably in the bag? so, i think all of this shows the fact that both candidates are sort of cha

trump and biden heading to the midwest in their final push with four days to go.hat you'll see this weekend that you haven't seen before. plus, a new court ruling affecting absentee ballots and the president's son, don junior, speaking out overnight on the one key issue in this campaign saying deaths from the coronavirus are, quote, almost nothing. >>> a new battle brewing over a new shutdown. a major city forced to close businesses amid a surge in the virus but is it legal? >>> zeta's wrath. the former hurricane unleashing fury from louisiana to the carolinas to new york. heavy winds spinning this construction crane hurling debris down onto the street below. the damage and what's next today with snow on the way. >>> plus, hiker hoax. new questions about what really happened to the missing mom found after nearly two weeks in the wild. >>> fire pit warning. new video, just how quickly things can take a dangerous turn. >>> and early deals. find out which stores are fast forwarding to black friday and the best bargains. >>> good friday morning, everyone. i'm mona kos

both candidates are focusing on the midwest.t are the political calculations that these campaigns are making right now in these key battleground states? >> well, the midwest and pennsylvania i would add that are critical to joe biden in particular for the bath to 270 to win the white house. that is where the former vice president's focus is. that is where they hope to get enough electoral votes to win the white house. they think that those states have the most -- traditional biden voters. the democrats, former democrats who maybe voted for donald trump and because they felt like they couldn't relate to someone like hillary clinton but they can to joe biden. on the flip side you have president trump who is banking, although he wasn't there today but there yesterday, banking big time on starting the night with a big win in florida. we will see if that happens. then trying to get to 20. let's be clear. even the president's advisers will tell you his path to 270 to winning the electoral college is narrower than joe biden's. what the

today is all about the midwest. both donald trump and joe biden will make stops in minnesota and wisconsin. trump in rochester, minnesota, and green bay, wisconsin. biden in st. paul, minnesota, and milwaukee. trump also rallies in michigan just outside of detroit while biden holds a drive-in rally in des moines, iowa. willie? >> so we know where their focus so let's look at the polling. in pennsylvania, the latest quinnipiac university poll shows joe biden ahead there by seven points. 51% to 44%. couple of polls out of florida. monmouth university gives joe biden a six-point advantage. 51% to 45% in the poll. quinnipiac has biden ahead by three in the state, 45% to 42%. in ohio, the quinnipiac pack shows biden ahead by five points, 48% to 43%. in north carolina, the latest "new york times"/siena poll has biden ahead. and in iowa, donald trump is ahead by one point. 47% to 46%. so airtight in all of the states. i know you're skeptical of any poll that shows a five-point lead in florida. you've run for office there.

health experts as well as governors across the midwest are sounding the alarm.n several midwest states that have seen a jump in positivities rates over the last few weeks. over the past few days i have told our viewers about wisconsin, but let's look at some of the other states, for example, south dakota, the positivity right there topping 46%, idaho 35%, iowa 29% and, like i mentioned in, wisconsin 27%. this has been the worst week yet so far for wisconsin. earlier in the week hitting a milestone it didn't want to mark, more than 210,000 new coronavirus cases recorded throughout the pandemic. and they're raising the alarm in north dakota, too. that state's governor calling 21 counties high risk and sending this warning to families when it comes to planning for the holidays -- >> so we've got a difficult operating environment for the next two months because the natural rhythm that we have in our state and the natural rhythm of holidays in our country, we have seen in other countries where there have been holidays have occurred where surges have occurred after th

, upper midwest, and west. cases are rising in 41 states. the entire map, practically, is orange and red. and dr. anthony fauci is now issuing this warning. >> there's going to be a whole lot of pain in this country with regard to additional cases and hospitalizations and deaths. we are on a very difficult trajectory. we are going in the wrong direction. >> dr. fauci also says it could be 2022 before he swe see what calls a return to normalcy in the united states. >> the surging pandemic continues to dominate the campaign in its final days. today, president trump and joe biden hold competing rallies hours apart in tampa, florida. the president will also head to north carolina. former president obama plans to join joe biden on stage for the first time at a rally saturday in michigan. more than 75 million people have already cast their ballots. that is more than half of the total vote in 2016. and overnight, the supreme court issuing key rulings welcomed by democrats on mail-in ballots in two critical swing state

he's in the midwest today.r said last night, referring to the death rate, the number is almost nothing. your response to that? >> i'm just thinking of the families in our country who have lost their loved ones. i'm thinking of the families in our country who have been affected by the coronavirus and how they may be long haulers and may have serious preexisting conditions for a long time to come. it may be almost nothing to him. but it is everything to the families who have lost a loved one. but it just shows you why we're having this fight about the negotiation. they have no respect for those who are in need, whether it's in need of care, whether it's in need of sympathy, whether it's in need of money, whether it's in need of their jobs that we're trying to protect with our state and local government, to protect our health care workers, our police and fire, our first responders, our health -- i said health. our teachers, our teachers, our teachers. sanitation, transportation, food workers. these are the people

with covid sweeping the midwest, the u.s. government operates an advanced laboratory here in iowa, tasked with protecting americans from a new deadly virus. we got exclusive access to the site. >> this is a small nasal swab, so if any of you have been tested for the coronavirus, you can understand. >> reporter: covid-19 is believed to have come from a bat in china. but viruses exist in all kinds of wildlife, waiting to jump to humans. and it's a constant battle. the next pandemic could be found in a test tube like this. one swine flu virus, h1n1, last broke out in humans in the u.s. in 2009. >> and this can be tested for multiple different pathogens. but we're going to be looking for influenza. >> reporter: pandemics are considered a national security risk, and the department of agriculture screens various farmed animals here to make sure american food is safe. viral pandemics are not just some foreign phenomenon. industrial farming here in the united states represents a major breeding ground for potential new viruses because

so you have the nominees in the midwest, the v.p.'s in the sunbelt, arizona and texas, one headline that stands out to me and d the post today, is in the final stretch the biden campaign seeking the voters who stayed home in 2016. we've talked this week about senator harris reaching out to those bernie sanders voters and the biden campaign needso not just pull those moderates in the suburbs and not just traditional democrats in the cities. it needs to have the voters who maybe sat on their hands in 2016, the sanders voters, to come out. and you see the biden campaign for months try to balance its overertures to the center with its overtures to the l left. and one ot thing, one other headline, is the president's pretty superstious. he is going to have his final rally on election day, electn ev excuse me, monday night, in grand rapids, michigan. if you are a political junkie, you remember he went to grand rapids in 2016. it looks like the white house will be the setting for where the president is. he won't be in new york city. he won't

tonight, the final countdown, four days until the election donald trump and joe biden barnstorming the midwest where the coronavirus is raging. dueling rallies in the same battlegrounds. their closing messages on the pandemic. the president calling out a fox news host in the crowd for wearing a mask biden vowing to shut the virus down in texas record early voting already surpassing its entire 2016 turnout and in battleground ohio we ask voters were the promises of 2016 kept. >>> the u.s. surging to new covid records 90,000 cases in a single day a new infection every second the fierce battle in el paso after a judge ordered a two-week shutdown in europe, a 400-mile traffic jam to flee paris ahead of a new lockdown there. >>> the deadly earthquake rocking turkey triggering a tsunami buildings crumbling. the race to rescue survivors. >>> lori loughlin reporting to prison. to serve her sentence in the college admissions scandal how the pandemic will alter her time behind bars. >>> we take yo inside homeland security's election command center the threat feared most. >>> voting in a pandemic how to

we're practical in the midwest.have a president, for four more years, who couldn't even get the protective equipment out to the nurses and doctors? or the testing out. and i'm going to trust him with getting a vaccine out? i don't think so. so that's why i think you see a competence argument big time winning out, as well as the heart and compassion of joe biden, compared to someone who tries to be mean to people and go after people, every day. people have had it with that. >> so senator biden is hitting two states. are you concerned joe biden is being out-hustled in the ho homestretch? >> not one bit. mostly, what i like is the discipline of what he is talking about. that last closing argument in warm springs, georgia. i got to talk to him last -- today in minnesota. and i talked to him about how important that was. where he went to that place where franklin roosevelt went to heal and heal our country and heal himself. and that, that was his closing message, that's what joe biden stands for. and franklin roosevelt w

they're crossing these midwest states tonight . why is this region so important for the race for the white house? >> well, because it's pretty much a tie, and they both need it really to win. and when you look at the midwest, as arlette was saying, biden wants to establish the blue wall, and the president needs to get out the vote. if you talk to people in the trump campaign they will tell you that while, sure, the polls show joe biden has an advantage and he's had early voting advantage in states they believe if they have an explosive turnout on election day that they can match and exceed what joe biden has done, and they believe the president is a great motivator when it comes to getting out the votes and the biden campaign believes that they can also use joe biden and his powerful surrogate like barack obama, for example, to help get out the vote in the same way. right now it's not an election of persuasion. it's an election of motivation. motivating your people to get out there and vote on election day. >> nia, we can't talk ab

we are practical in the midwest.i want to have a president for four more years who could not get the protective equipment out to the nurses and doctors. or the testing out? and i'm going to entrust him with getting a vaccine out that could save my life? i don't think so. that's why i think a competense argument winning out, compared to joe biden, and his compassion. people have had it -- >> do you feel that biden has been out hustled? >> not a bit. he has gone everywhere and i like the discipline. the last one had in warm springs, georgia. i got to talk to him today in minnesota, and talked to him about how important that was where he went to that place where franklin roosevelt went to heal and heal our country and heal himself. and that that is his closing message. that is what joe biden stands for and franklin roosevelt was able to save the country through his policy and heart. and joe biden will make the same move the minute he gets in the white house. so, i just think that, you see his message resonating, and you

we have banding that's currently happening in the upper midwest but the brunt of this storm comes this afternoon you're going to see an accumulation pretty widespread across the country that's why weather alerts are impacting 5 million people accumulation totals right now, the forecast icalling s fot ther overnight lows that's going to continue for tonight, but balmy weather this is mild air from the south all the way to the northeast it will be a fantastic day, thou though, for some secondses of t the country. >>> life after death a new track from the rapeg lend notorious big. >>> and a new race for a coronavirus vaccine. entresto helped people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto. or high blood potassium. what if your clothes could stay fresh for weeks? smell clean? no

trump is hitting midwest and minnesota and wisconsin. what does that tell you?it tells me joe biden in particular, is trying to shore up those nest statmidwestern st they feel hillary clinton didn't pay enough attention to in 2016. biden is ahead in minnesota but he wants to make sure he gets his voters out and exactly what he is trying to do. the trump campaign believe they have a great get out the vote effort and their candidate is the great motivator and that whatever we are seeing in the polls, we shouldn't pay any attention to because they are going to make up the differential on election day. and they believe that donald trump is the person who can do that which is why you see him out there barnstorming like crazy in places that he won last time, sort of effectively putting his finger in the dike, trying to make sure he can keep what he won with last time. >> abby, the biden campaign said they want to make pennsylvania their critical focus. on monday, both biden and harris and their spouses will be campaigning in all four corners of the commonwealth. what

pennsylvania is the key to the midwe midwest, to some they would say it's not the midwest. the most electoral votes in those crucial midwest states. drurp won pennsylvania by the most. i think his turnout stunned everybody, because he turned out irregular voters and just crushed in areas that republicans did well, but never did quite as well. what the biden campaign recognizes, is if they shut the door in pennsylvania, they likely will also shut the down in michigan, wisconsin, minnesota, michigan is the key that unlocks the midwest to reopening that blue wall to existing or reopening trump's pathway to reelection. there's a lot of talk about florida, but if they can win pennsylvania -- cnn's polls has four of five is pretty spot on on what they've seen, but they recognize they need to close -- they need to close the game. when you do that, that's where you show up the day before the final vote. i think hillary clinton was in philadelphia. you were probably there, if i recall correctly, bulk in 2016. >> yeah. >> didn't quite close the deal. i think the biden campaign will t

both candidates have been in the midwest to convince voters they're the man to run the country.ake a quick look at the latest opinion polls — which putjoe biden nine points ahead of donald trump. but that's based on national polling — which won't determine who wins — it's the voters in key swing states who will decide the result. the coronavirus pandemic is at the forefront of this election. and the number of cases in the us has now passed 9 million. both candidates have been criticising each other over their strategies for dealing with it. joe biden is promising a long, dark, painful winter. did anybody see the debate, by any chance? he said a long, dark winter. that's great, that's wonderful. it is just what our country needs, long dark winter and a country who talks about it. meanwhile, joe biden accused president trump of giving up on controlling the pandemic. when he was told four weeks ago that we are losing 1,000 lives a day he said, "it is what it is." isn't that useful? "it is what it is." well it is what it is because he is who he is. that is the problem. donald trump

you look at the three midwest states. if biden sweeps these three midwest states, he'd be over 270.t would be it. trump has to pull out a win in one of the midwest states. that's why you here about pennsylvania. 20 electoral votes. if trump gets that, again, he'd have a lot of work to do, but paths would start opening up. if he can hang onto texas, now over 200. pennsylvania bodes well for hanging onto ohio and bodes well for hanging onto iowa. he would start moving into striking distance. if he can't get florida and pennsylvania, those are really emerging as necessary states for trump to get to 270. not sufficient by themselves, but necessary. i think they are the two that loom as must-wins pretty much ff for trump at this point. >> thank you for clarifying what we'll be looking to next tuesday. >> thank you. >>> we've been talking about co-vid infections surging in the midwest and rural areas of this country. and there, reports more than two dozen cdc staffers have left since the crisis. plus new reporting that finds morale at the cdc plummeting. stay with us. ting stay with us ♪

you have to take care of those midwest states. and i -- and anybody who didn't learn that lesson in 2016 deserves to lose the election. so they did learn that lesson. but if you're in the biden campaign situation where, you know, the numbers look pretty solid in those states, and the numbers look really more than inviting in a state like georgia and even in a state like texas where kamala harris is going to go, and you've got all this money, then it makes sense to bet a little bit on it and see what you can do. see what happens. the one thing that it's hard to see from this altitude is what's happening on a granular level on social media, sort of microtargeting of voters and whether the -- the trump campaign is making any headway there. and that's hard to see from -- from where we sit. but everything else looks really, frankly, very bad for the trump camp. >> jim, quickly before we go. and i ask this on behalf of a few million people who desperately want to hear this answer from you right now. do you have a secret for managing the
