and there's possibly no better location in the view of the biden campaign than scranton, pennsylvania for him to make a general election and primary election argument at the same time. the general election argument goes like this. donald trump has turned his back on middle class voters, then we'll get to some of the data here about manufacturing jobs. but he promised voters in this swing state that he would bring manufacturing jobs back and he hasn't delivered on that. joe biden is going to talk almost in a biographical way about his upbringing, he was born in scranton and knows the experience of having to have a family move away. that the middle class that he grew up with here in scranton has animated his whole public career. democrats had carried neighboring county to where we are in scranton when he was on the ticket with obama twice. i was one of the anythingest flips in 2016 when hillary clinton lost that. and so as we see biden regaining some strength in this race after the last debate, a new krn krn poll showing him back at the top with his biggest lead since april at 34% that'

up his attack on the president's economic policies in a speech planned in his hometown of scranton, pennsylvania morning. in a statement released yesterday morning, biden slammed trump turning his back on the upper middle class. saying donald trump has had everything given to him. and donald trump has cut taxes for the wealthiest americans and corporations instead of middle class families. biden says as president he would fight to build the middle class which he called the back bone by increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. >>> still ahead, much more on the reaction to acting ambassador bill taylor's explosive capitol hill testimony. and what it means for the escalating impeachment probe of the president. >>> plus, the u.s. envoy to syria was also on capitol hill when he told lawmakers about the impact on turkey and syria. we'll have those and much more. metamucil supports your daily digestive health using a special plant-based fiber called psyllium. psyllium works by forming a gel in your digestive system to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down. metamucil's gelling action also he

think joe biden naturally pictures himself that way because he is from scranton, pennsylvania. the better approach for the democrats is to nominate someone who is an economic populist like warren or sanders because at least those candidates will fit the populist moment a little better. i do not think there are any easy answers because these kinds of voters have been trending away from the democrats in 2016 and before 2016. david: you have pointed a something terribly and point -- pointed out something terribly important. this is all in the primaries. additionally, we thought you have to turn to the center in the general. is it possible the selection is different. -- different? --ebody who stays out there last night, it seems like the progressives doubled down. >> that may be the case. there are a lot of people on the left and right who were proven correct in some ways by donald's victory in 2016 that may be going toward the center is not where you want to be. that flies in the face of traditional political science thinking -- that you are competing for moderate voters. -- if yo

. >> let me turn to the son of scrant scranton, the senator from pennsylvania who is a supporter of joetor casey, let me start with the thread we are pulling on here if i could. that is that various concern in some camps, vice president joe biden is out of touch with these times. he sees himself as the guy who could go up against donald trump. this is something that has come up time and time again during the course of this campaign, a sense of him being out of touch with this political moment or unable to engage with the way politics has changed as a result of us having a president of the united states. >> david, first and foremost, it is clear that joe biden is focused on what americans are focused on. there's no question that people are concerned about what the president, the conduct of the president. he's asking for a favor and the next page bringing up joe biden. the american people understand that fundamentally. but they also understand that we've got to make sure that not only candidates but congress is focused on their concerns. like the issues the vice president laid out today i

don't deliver appear >> i was in the scranton area were joe biden was born and i was glad to have the debate because when joe biden was vice president, pennsylvania lost 50,000 manufacturing jobs. overall, under the obama administration, this country lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs. if joe biden wants to defend nafta, if he thinks we shouldn't be getting tough with our trading partners and demanding free and fair and reciprocal trade, we will have that debate every day. >> laura: on the issue of impeachment, it was reported he will take a more forward-looking role, you will be more engaged in the impeachment battle, is that the case -- and if so what form does that take? >> it has been three years of endless investigations and a partisan attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election. i think the american people have had enough. we went through two and a half years of the mueller investigation with outlandish accusations of collusion and obstruction until the justice department found no collusion, no obstruction, case closed. they took a brief break and we are talking about impeaching justice kavanaugh after trying to smear his name and rep

joe in scranton, people of pennsylvania, it was hard times under joe.tax rate reduction. does that mean for the rich? >> no. absolutely not. what's really important about lowering corporate taxes is we had to match the low corporate taxes around the world. about to put $9 billion more. steel industry, new corps, u.s. deal. the money is coming here. it's because of tax cuts, deregulation, cheap energy and trade reform. brian, this is a beautiful trump economy that we inherited a mess from obama and biden. brian: usmca passed was signed and agreed upon about a year ago yesterday. it still has not passed the house and senate. we can't even get a vote. here's the president. >> we have to get. smca done if they don't want to put it up for the vote. the do nothing democrats, they will pass it, but it has to be put up by nancy pelosi. it's already to go. it's approved by mexico. it's approved by canada. it's approved by everybody that has to be approved. we have to give it a vote. it's been sitting for a long time. a lot of money wasted. a lot of jobs wasted.

pennsylvania today. biden returned to his birthplace of scranton this morning to woo the working class and tease facets ofis still unreleased economic plan. new cnn poll has him 15 points ahead of warren. meanwhile, president trump is about to land on the other side of the state for a speech at a gas industry conference in pittsburgh. joining me from scranton where he's covering the biden campaign, nbc news correspondent mike memly. so the campaign must be feeling pretty good with this cnn poll. >> yeah. absolutely. they love these opportunities to remind those of us in the media and especially those democrats out there who are -- about the state of this race and whether he's the right candidate. that we have been wrong in predicting his early demise. but what we saw here today was joe biden in his natural political habitat. we've talked a lot about the issues he's had on the campaign trail in terms of performance both on the trail and at the debates especially. this was a biden who was much closer to the one i've been covering now for close to 12 years. there was a lot of home spun wisdom talking about t

michigan, wisconsin, iowa, 20 were in pennsylvania, demographically at -- more closely resembling the midwest than the rest of the northeast including towns like scranton, pittsburgh, meadville. >> another 29 electoral votes in florida, large parts of which are full of midwesterners and people that were raised there and have those values. one of the big visions in american politics and it is new since the 1990s, between major metropolitan areas, there are about 50 of those and half the people in america live in them. half of americans live outside the major metro areas and if you want to see where the newest change in votes comes from if you are comparing 2016 with 2012 or a very similar electoral configuration of 2008-2004-even 1996 where you see the votes change in favor of donald trump and against the democratic party is the out statement west, midwest beyond the major metro areas. the one state in the midwest solidly democratic, illinois. why is that? two thirds of the votes are in metro chicago and that has trended democratic since the 1990s with high income people joining low income people voting for the democratic party. the other midwest states

pennsylvania. by the way, biden, he held an early morning rally in scranton. g to speak later on this afternoon. this is going to be at a shale conference in pittsburgh. but we know pennsylvania, this is biden's home turf. he's a scranton guy. he brags about it all the time. this is one of the reasons many want him to be the nominee for the democrats, they think he can beat president trump in these swing states like pennsylvania. how can president trump push back? >> well, it might be biden's home turf but it is trump country. and for a real reason. in 2016, he got elected in pennsylvania because of promises he made. in 2020 he will get re-elected in pennsylvania because of promises he's kept. when you look at nearly 150,000 new jobs are coming to that state, 2200 of them manufacturing. in the obama/biden era, they lost 51,000 manufacturing jobs. obama and biden wrote off pennsylvania, not just electorally but in terms of it being a factor in our economy. president trump gave them a chance, gave pennsylvanians an opportunity to show what they could do and boy,

pennsylvania. the vice president is going to tour a high tech glass factory near scranton which is close to the birthcratic presidential hopeful joe biden. mexico's president is also calling on u.s. lawmakers to approve the trade war with china. steven mnuchin and a robert lighthizer are expected to speak with chinese vice premier liu he on the phone. they have said the two sides have made, quote, substantial progress in many aspects and laid an important foundation for a phase one agreement. cheryl: meanwhile, in an interview with 60 minutes, christine mcguard, the incoming head of the european central bank, remember she was running imf, she is warning of consequences of a u.s. trade war with china. >> i was brought up as a citizen of this world. the risky see is that the united states is at risk of losing leadership. and that would be just a terrible development. cheryl: lagarde also in that interview warned president trump against pushing the federal reserve for lower interest rates because she said that could spur inflation. she mentioned the fact that you've got unemployment in the mid-3% range
