but as far as minnesota goes, i find it very interesting that we are talking about minnesota 46 days out. we would have never thought about that in the past with the republicans. the republican party under trump has really become the party of blue-collar workers. that's who they look to now, and that's why you are seeing a swing in these states. look at what joe biden did. in december of last year, he told minors they need to learn to code. that's how they're going to change their lives. they can mine anymore. what is he going to say to bloggers and miners and minnesota? >> neil: i do want to go to joe biden and as i can, but i want to give you an opportunity, looking at this, how much this vaccine -- that's virus issue will dominate this entire race. >> sure. i think that's a vaccine debate is going to really take center hold in this election, especially in october. i know that president trump would love to see an announcement of a vaccine before the election. that is something that joe biden is preemptively expecting, which is why he has called on some transparency measures. he has

i want to get to shaquille brewster also in minnesota, in stillwater, minnesota, just outside minneapolis, the first day of early in-person voting there. shaq, we're talking about a tale of two minnesotas. our two reporters we talked to in the trump country region in 2016 you're in the twin city metro area if republicans talk about the places where garrett and mike are as being a potential source of strength for them, you're where the democrats think they've really made big gains in the last couple years in particular >> reporter: that's exactly right, steve you're talking about washington county where we are right now, in stillwater, minnesota, in washington county, a county that hillary clinton won by about two percentage points in 2016. it's always been tight president obama won it by an even tighter margin in 2012. there's an increased amount of college-educated voters in this county this is a county that democrats believe, if they want to expand on the 2018 gains they saw, they believe this is vefertile ground to do so vice president biden and president trump both here in the state.

in moments, former minnesota former minnesota vikings player jack brewer who lived in minneapolis for ten years, has businesses there and family there, and richard fowler joins us as well. we begin tonight with brian peters, the executive director of the minnesota police and peace officers association. thank you so much for being he here. you listen to lisa bender there, she was talking about how it's just your white privilege that makes you expect police officers to show up in the middle of the night. now she would like to know where the police officers are and why crime is escalating so dramatically. >> the city council and the mayor are absolutely delusional. they have no concept of reality what is happening every day on the streets. what i would challenge them to do instead of naming a street after mr. floyd, how about getting in a squad car and seeing what is happening day after day on the streets. how about going to the family of andre tom lee, a 17-year-old who was shot dead in north minneapolis at 4:30 in the afternoon, how about visiting that family and explain to them why th

people are already voting in the state of minnesota. surprising swing state, at this hour we are waiting to hear from joe biden in hermann town minnesota, about as far east as he will get. and for a long time, new yorkers voted democrat but republicans are making serious influence. a bit rate or come up president trump holds rally, he flipped it into thousand 16, can he do it again? we also have analysis from fox news anchor chris wallace but we begin with john roberts. john, good afternoon. >> bill, let me first of all say, your lips to god's ears because we thought an hour ago president trump was going to come out here in the briefing room and we are still here but he only has 45 minutes before he supposed to head off to minnesota so he should be here sometime in the next few minutes. when he goes to minnesota he is going to find the state may be a little bit more difficult to get that look like it was in 2016. about one and a half points back then. now the real clear politics average, most of the recent polls have had biden up 8 of 9

both campaigns see minnesota as a battleground. now, so do voters.avirus has changed so much about life in america, including voting. minnesota and virginia were among the states that began early in person voting today, giving people a chance to cast their ballots without standing in long les on november 3, potentially exposing themselves to the virus. >> since we already live so close, i figured i should take advantage of being able to vote, get it out of the way, and not worry abouter long lines in november. >> campaigns are leaping on th chance to influence voters in real time. before he left for minnesota, the president was at the white house. the campaign believes he has a chance at flipping minnesota in the wake of unrest there. he came very close to winnin in 2016. he is telling voters, don't worry about the virus, a vaccine is on the way. >> we will administer at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year, likely more than that. hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month and we expect to have a vaccine for eve

joining me, the attorney general for the state of minnesota. he's also the councilman for minneapolis' fifth district. we spoke many times during those days and shortly thereafter. can you tell us, since the movement started here after the death of george floyd, what's happened in minneapolis in the search for justice? >> well, people have come together, demanding change. we've seen substantive changes at the state legislature, proposals at the city council, and of course the george floyd prosecution moves forward. those three things, together with a lot of people learning more about the nature of injustice and equality in our society is really what's going on here. people are taking seriously embracing the possibility of change. >> what's different now than four months ago? in those early days, there were calls for the police to be charged. that subsequently happened. there were calls for systemic change within the police department, there were calls for change all across the political system. how have things evolved at this point? >> i think

he's an arm in town minnesota. hey, peter >> dana, people are voting here in minnesota today.oe biden is taxiing, we understand his plane landed from delaware about 5 minutes ago. he is also now changing his position about something he says he wants. that is a national mask mandate. >> i cannot mandate people wearing masks, but we've just been told that we should expect another 215,000 dead by january. but if we wear a mask, we saved 100,000 of those lives. nothing but that. >> two days ago, in wilmington, biden said a mask mandate checked out. >> our legal team thinks i can do that based on the degree to which there is a crisis in those states, and how bad things are for the country. >> biden has been big on masks for months, but he wasn't wearing one last night for a meet and greet with some pennsylvania firefighters. most of them weren't wearing masks, either. biden did get a lot closer to voters than his campaign has let him get in months. people had this message. >> it don't matter if the person is black, white, man, woman, g gay, straight. incredible. >> biden is on the

voters going to the polls in minnesota. both presidential candidates are spending time in that battleground state today. joe biden was in duluth. president trump will have a rally in about an hour. the president said he's sending billions to puerto rico to help with the economy there. we go to john roberts on the north lawn. >> while puerto rico does not vote in the election, it's been a political thorn in the president's side with democrats ripping him for not doing enough to help the island recover from hurricane maria. today with some six million puerto ricans in the united states, president trump moved to set things right. almost three years to the day, hurricane maria hit puerto rico. now the president is responding. >> i have to say in a very nice way, a very respectful way, i'm the best thing that ever happened to puerto rico. >> in the past, president trump has criticized corrupt poll situations in puerto rico and complained the island had already received too much federal relief money. and then the issue of timing.

>> juan: minnesota, dana? >> dana: yes. >> juan: because i think i just saw that biden is up ten in minnesota. so -- >> dana: that's what i mean. let me clarify. i should clarify. >> dana: so democrats keep saying they're going to win statewide races in texas. they never do. republicans are trying to win in minnesota and it's been elusive to them. president trump has come closer than most. this time around, you think the republicans will fall short again in minnesota? >> juan: well, you know, obviously there's an opportunity there given the trouble that happened in minneapolis with george floyd, and we've gone over some of the issues like the city council going back and forth on defund or reform the police, however you want to put that together. so i think that the president must think that, you know, that message about law and order and the like has some resonance there. i don't know it's working given what i just said about the polls. but i wanted to respond to jesse as well and say jesse, i think there's a

he's going to minnesota chl the data has not been backed up that minnesota is a competitive state.here's no poll that shows it at less than nine, i believe, in the last month. >> reporter: yeah, chuck two things one, if you look at this as a battleground market, he's getting some media attention in a very important part of the state for democrats. it used to be one of the big turnout engines. less so for hillary clinton. it's one of the reasons the state was as close as it was we saw 60% go down to 50 and barely 50 around the area for hillary clinton. but it's also bleeding into a much closer battleground state chuck, we got a sense of why biden is here from comments he made to reporters as he was about to fly home which has been overlooked where he flatly said i will win scranton. he took credit for the fact that they did well in areas like scranton and places like here in minnesota where we are -- because joe biden was on the ticket there have been a lot of bed wetters in the party, a lot of skepticism they always felt joe biden is the kind of democrat who can speak to these kind

you can think of minnesota as the inverse of how democrats view a state like texas. they say demographics moving in a twway that is favorable towar them but it just hasn't been there yet. for the trump campaign coming after minnesota, kind of makes sense it even makes sense they're coming to a place like where i am now, home of paul bunyan, i know you like the historical local references. >> love it, thank you. thank you, garrett. >> reporter: one of your typical obama/trump counties this is a place the president did flip in 2016 and the idea here continues to be the ring every additional vote possible out of smaller towns like this and more rural counties to balance what they see downstate in minneapolis i think what we'll hear from the president tonight will sound a lot like what we heard from him last night, next door in wisconsin, when he ramped up the fear factor to about a 13. take a listen. >> on november 3rd, wisconsin will decide whether we will quickly return to record prosperity or whether we will allow biden and the democrats to impose a $4 trillion tax h

i want to talk about joe biden being here in minnesota.oing after white working class voters, some voters that went for donald trump in the last cycle in 2016 that as you mentioned the biden campaign hoping that they can get back and to that point we saw joe biden last night during our cnn town hall really frame this race as scranton, his hometown, versus park avenue really trying to say that president trump is not for the people, not for white working class voters, that he is more elite and that it's joe biden with his working class roots in scranton that can really understand what these working class voters need and how he can get the economy going again. take a look at where joe biden has been lately, michigan with car manufacturers and union workers there. scranton and now he's here in duluth just near the iron range here in the state of minnesota, john. we'll see if we hear more of that messaging from him today. we expect to. >> jessica dean live in minnesota. it is a beautiful little city. i'm jealous today. count me as jealous you a

minnesota is another one on the list of that campaign.e lost it to hillary clinton by 1.5 percentage points. the latest real clear politics average shows the president trailing joe biden the state of minnesota by about five grand. biden will try to drive up suburban voters in minneapolis and to do that, he must win the battle over who makes you feel safer in those areas. a front and center issue in this campaign. but in the northeastern area of the state, what's known as the iron range region, an area that clinton won, president trump has carved out and worked for quite some time out of following there. one of the things they are interested in is improving copper and nickel mines that were turned down by president obama and they are also interested in law and order there as well, given what happened in their state. my next guest is a mayor of a city that lies within the iron range area. he is an independent, former democrat, now independent, just endorsed president trump along with five democrat mayors in his day. mayor chuck novak of the

brad parskell early on was talking about minnesota as a pickup state.here changing demographics there that makes it possible? >> i don't know how much has to do with changing demographic. if anything, it shifted to be more on the democratic side. i think it's more about the dfl here, democratic farmers and labor party here, and they have avenue kind of neglected greater minnesota for very long time and kind of taken it for granted. they're been in power and didn't have electoral challenges. leland: when you're talking about greater minnesota, north where you've got the mining and south where you've got the farming. there were six democratic mayors who came out and endorsed president trump. they surround the area north of duluth, minnesota, which is a key industrial town, been there for-- was there for a trump rally a couple of years ago. is there enough votes in that part of the state to make up for the huge volume in the urban centers in minneapolis? >> that's the big question, isn't it? nobody's really sure. there haven't been in the past. the iron ra
