states. will be in minnesota, wisconsin. what happens if joe biden holds all of these states, flips pennsylvania again and hits any one of those three? donald trump wins a second term in office. the midwest, florida matters, it's always about florida. the southwest matters. don't sleep on arizona and nevada. the midwest will likely determine who the president will be come january 20th, 2021. guys? >> math! math! it's math! >> get your abacus out. >> you saw the numbers there. it's simple math. >> well, it's not that simple math. >> pretty simple. >> but there's a lot of different ways to slice and dice it, and that's why we're bringing in cnn correspondent abby phillip and alex burns, a national political correspondent for "the new york times." abby, you're up with the math lesson. having just seen the way phil did all of that magic math, how does that play into the strategy that we're seeing for the next few days. >> look, i'm not as good at math as phil is, but i can tell you that you can t

red states and purple states have done it. it is in more states if you care about. >> everyone is saying this upcoming election the way to figure out, check your registration now before the registration deadline. if you are involved in being what your secretariats of state is doing, if you attend hearings, what practices they are putting in place that might govern future potential purchases whether they are sending out postcards, and living in the state and you can get in on the front and have input on that practice that is taking effect. staying engaged with election day. >> thank you. have you noticed any foreign interference with voter registration? >> he is not seen foreign interference, i don't want to say things out loud because you jinx them, any evidence of compromises of the system on washington state. what you read over the last four years, are concentrated ongoing nonstop effort, china and iran to get into state and local election offices, voter registration systems or anything they can we've been focused the last f

also the state of michigan. battle with john james and mitch mcconnell said it's turned into a street fight at this point. democrats hope everything will tip at the same time in their direction and make chuck schumer no longer minority leader, potentially majority leader. republicans acknowledge that while it will be close, while there's a very real possibility they lose their majority, they still have an opportunity to maintain it. everything will play out on election night in some very, very tight races across the country. >> phil mattingly, thank you so much for that. this just in to cnn. the university of wisconsin has just confirmed 22 people have tested positive for covid-19. of those people, 12 student athletes have tested positive. the school will decide on tuesday whether the badgers can play their next scheduled game on november 7th at home against purdue. >>> our countdown to election coverage continues in a moment. first, here's a live look at a rally for senator kamala harris where she is expected t

these states, trump flipped each one. these are the three states that made him the president.ou see the margins. what does the polling look like in these states now? these are the three battleground states where in the polls at least joe biden enjoys his biggest leads over donald trump right now. we're going to spend a lot of time throughout this hour going through the path to 270, various ways biden could get there, various ways trump could hold him off. i tell you right now, the interest way for joe biden to become president is simply to win these three states. you see what trump got in 2016. you see where biden is now. next category of states, florida, arizona, north carolina. they weren't as close as the first three. where do they stand right now? again, you've got biden leads. then you've got georgia, ohio, texas, iowa. these are all still single-digit trump wins in 2016. were they high single digits? here's what the polling looks like there now. look at georgia, look at iowa. some big progress there, at least in the polling for joe biden versus how hillary clinton finish

same with the state of georgia. state of florida. 79%.in, of the total, early and election day, 79% is already in from 2016. you go over to arizona, there, it's 72%. texas, anderson. texas is already at 98% of the entire 2016 total. it underscores, look, we knew that there was going to be a surge in early vote. we knew vote by mail was going to be crucial, really for both parties but especially for democrats. but just the sheer amount that has come in over the course of the last several days and what could still come in over the next couple makes it very, very true this will be crucial to whoever wins. >> wait. texas, 98% of the number of total votes in 2016, that's -- have already been voted -- have already voted? >> yeah, and look. if you want to caveat it, a little bit, it was down. total turnout was very down in texas. it was under 9 million. i think it was somewhere around 8.5 million. they already have somewhere around 8.2 million votes cast, already, between vote in person and vote by mail. the enthusiasm, if we can say nothing els

in the united states, the fifteenth worst state in the united states, we are the third worst when it comes to return to mortality. out of 92, considered murdered -- they don't have the services pregnant women need. one of the reasons we aren't making the partners we need to make is we fund public health infrastructure per capita at a level of -- 48 in the nation. all of that has to change. others in the legislature had legislation for years. the legislature has to pass it and have signed it. we have to do a better job, this is 2020. time for us to get off the dime and get this fix. why not indiana. >> holcomb: this is where hard work begins, something i was passionate about and bring this trajectory down, and we did that by first listening to what was happening on the ground closest to the people, the statistics. they are instituting programs and policies working to the tune of the lowest, on this front. we are moving in the right direction, because expecting mothers and mothers the delivered to the level of care. this has to do more than citing a statistic, we are moving in the righ

and my administration there will be no red states or blue states it's the united states of america. neil: well that's the intense campaigning begin. welcome, everybody i'm neil cavuto, and this is cavuto live and for the next two hours, we're going to be chris-crossing the country as both candidates r ev up the ante here and the octane, for the president of the united states and the guy who wants to be president of the united states, and the respected runningmate, it is no less than a campaign blitz that has the president alone talking 14 rallies in seven states, and the former vice president, a chance to campaign with his old boss, barack obama in michigan today. let's get the latest what's at stake and who is placing their stakes, kristin fisher now in newtown, pennsylvania increasingly the battleground state in the country. hey, kristin. reporter: hey, neil, well one of the few things president trump and joe biden can agree on is the importance of pennsylvania in this race, as you said, both candidates really going all-out here in the final three days before election day. you've

into a vote by mail state. in the case of oregon for instance, they generally do a better job cleaning up than most other states which isn't to say they still don't have problems in that regard, because they do, but they generally do a better job of givin keeping them up-toe than most states because when you do vote by mail you basically have no choice otherwise it's a mess all the time. they have hard and fast rules about when you have to be registered by. i think if you are not registered to vote by now as of a day or two ago you don't vote in november. a lot of people would find that appalling if that were spread across other states. and just in general they've had 20 years of building up the infrastructure to support vote by mail. the idea places like new york or new jersey was going to turn on a dying man to conduct all what did they think was going to happen. if people were not so focused again on simply the desired outcome instead of being focused on the process we wouldn't be dealing with a lot of these

the yellow states are the toss-up states. let's give donald trump all of them. let's give him florida and georgia, north carolina, ohio, iowa, and this congressional district up here in maine, okay. and what you see is he is still short. so he needs to try to keep arizona back in his camp. and then he would need one of these states in the midwest, let's say pennsylvania, and that would do it. but wolf, what if joe biden won flarks okay? let me show you, the poll of polls in florida right now, an average shows 46%. it is a toss-up state. there is no doubt about it. if biden wins florida, trump goes back down to 250. then where he does go? he actually at this point would need both michigan and wisconsin to get him over the top. and right now he is behind in all three of those state, wolf. >> at least according to the polls he is behind big-time in those states. what are you watching, david, as far as the battle for control of the senate is concerned? >> well, it's a fascinating contest for control of the senate. let me just show you what the democrats think their

and united states. should change they are region that they cannot. support the coup at counters that by providing. allegations. unites its debts should be a result united states result that you should be greece united not ikea's together with the clinton administration and also united states also all the problems we spain you know that spain also want to buy and use if they will who at them sent the precious the us to fight and i don't mean to interrupt it's just that i'm going to come back to some of this in a bit i want to get a question in to fabrice there for bruce i want to try to take a step back for a moment could you explain to our viewers what exactly the s. 400 system does and why it causes this level of concern right now. well basically it brings a highly sophisticated russian refinery system into turkey's territorial defense and the problem here is that since 2010 nato is building a nato wide and timi size system must be reliant on the american patry out systems . and then the problem is if

winner regardless of which way the state went if a state was put into a position where they were by the contract required to give their votes to a candidate that the state did not in fact the poor if you could see how that would produce a sort of dissatisfying and perhaps the stabilizing type of political situation. so well i'm very sympathetic with the idea that the electoral college is very much engaged it's not ridiculously democratic it doesn't fit very well with modern institutions in the way modern politics works it is too hard to change and i'm not convinced that the national popular vote contact is necessarily the best solution for going about fixing it but at least it's at least it's not happened kasia as an elector is there any conceivable set of circumstances that exist by which you would not vote for joe biden and connell harris there is no circumstance under which i can see myself changing my vote and at the same time the the pledge that electors take is in no way that visionary or lofty or really aligned with the u.s. constitution you're essentially saying i will face pena

now's the time. >> regardless of what state you're in, get your ballots in by your state's deadline. >> reporter: driven in part by concerns over the pandemic, a record-high 90 million voters have requested mail-in ballots nationwide. but so far, only about half have returned them. in all 50 states, those mail-in votes must be sent by election day, but in 28 states, they must also arrive by the time polls close. late yesterday, the supreme court rejected and effort to extend the deadline in wisconsin that would have allowed another six days for those ballots to arrive in the mail and still be counted. in 22 states, ballots are counted if they arrive in the days after the election, as long as they are postmarked by election day. there's nothing new about voting by mail, but president trump continues to attempt to sow doubt about it, tweeting, without evidence, "big problems and discrepancies with mail-in ballots. must have final total on november 3rd." twitter put a warning on that message, saying it is "disputed and might be misleading." and today, another misleading statement by the

, we are a stupid-tax state. >> reporter: that's because the state budget overwhelmingly depends on the capital gains of its wealthiest residents and what if they left? thornburne says their incomes would still from california companies, so they would still have to pay. >> i don't know how you in good conscience could leave a place like california, which is what gave you the window of opportunity. >> reporter: but really, why sece secede the leaders of both parties in fact house are californians. and if joe biden is elected, californians will be second and third in line. they'll practically run the place. >> okay, one more reason to hate us, but california gets by far most federal aid compared to every other state, because we have so many people, so per capita, it's actually almost 40% below the national average, because we have so many people, and a lot of people that a state with so many people deserves more than two u.s. senators. but shep, currently to do that, we would have to set the state up into several californias. >> we'll put you on the dollar bill jane wells live in cali. th

and we can have those benefits they have seen in other states, here in our state.he governor has a terrible record on health care. he did kick 100,000 kids off their health insurance. he has the state of missouri in a lawsuit right now to take away coverage for pre-existing conditions for over 2 million missourians, and he opposes medicaid expansion in the midst of this pandemic. i believe missourians deserve access to health care, it is one of the most important determinants of social mobility n our state. >> i think that the medicaid expansion is a difficult question for missourians. i think some people can see the benefits, but on a ledger, when you look at the money that it is going to cost the state, it has to come from somewhere. no new taxes would be my pledge on that. we would reach into the budget to help pay for it. but that said, the danger of doing expanded medicaid, and other federal government comes in with a lot of money for that, but the federal government is $27 trillion in debt, so there may be a day when they say, we have no money for you and her

and blue states. we have two major colleges being put together and many of them are doing it the right way but many of them also aren't so we have to educate people. one of the things i love about your generation you do care about people and each other and we know that the virus doesn't impact people your age as much as others. most of you will recover just fine and there will not be any long-term repercussions. if we could keep it to you, that would be great but here is the problem, that doesn't work. we know that young people inevitably interact and the virus doesn't care what age you are. it's designed to help other people understand the importance of wearing a mask, social distancing and taking this seriously. my message is please, please take this seriously. you care about others it may not hurt you but it could kill someone else. >> i mentioned this at the beginning of the debate. we will start with spencer cox first. we have had people participate, the students on the website seemed elsewhere.

this is a matter of state law that was interpreted by the highest court in our state, our state's supreme, and our state supreme court said very clearly that, you know, basically when in doubt err on the side of inclusion or enfranchisement. unfortunately what you have are repeated attacks against our election laws here in pennsylvania by donald trump and his enablers trying to make it harder for people to vote. trying to make it easier for ballots to be discarded. and so i've been in court time and time again defending the right for legal, eligible votes to be counted and to make sure that pennsylvanians can be heard. i think what donald trump is afraid of, candidly, is having all legal, eligible votes in pennsylvania be counted because i think he'll come out on the short end of that stick at the ballot box just as he has in the courthouses where we've beat him. he's 0-3. he's got a big, fat ofer on his record. to try to make it harder for people to vote, he'll continue to lose in court. >> so you got this appeal. the state supreme court says, look, yes, the state constitution of pennsyl

all of those states are states that biden is going to win or may win.mp is going to win. so the question is, just as you put it, how many voters are going to vote for trump that turn around and vote for governor bullock. four years ago, that happened when he won, trump won. a lot of people voted for trump and bullock. this time he's running against an incumbent u.s. senator. he's not running as an incumbent governor to get re-elected. it will be tougher for bullock to do that. >> you know, i am curious with the coronavirus having put so many governors sort of in the spotlight. they have to make these calls about whether a restriction hero mandate there, this to me seems to be -- it adds a little more pressure and attention to governor bullock. how would you say the state has responded to governor bullock's handling of the virus? >> well, initially, his approval rating back in the late spring, early summer, up near high 60s, 70%. he was fairly aggressive in shutting things down and tackling it. we have a mask mandate in many counties. but here we are in

that state is rapidly changing.nd the three counties to watch for republicans are the atlanta suburbs, fulton county, cobb county and dekalb. fulton is the main one. that was a swing county. that's becoming more blue. dekalb, democrat stronghold, becoming even bluer. cobb, even as recent as 2017, even after hillary was a republican stronghold. that's becoming purple. for senate or any statewide, you have to do well in fulton and really get your guys out in cobb and so we'll see if the president can do that or if biden is trying to cut into that. >> matt, i'm curious. i've not seen -- it does -- look, if i were the trump campaign, i guess i would be like, bill stepien once said it has to be a given that trump carries ohio, iowa and georgia. and yet, all three of those states, and i'll throw in texas there, i still feel like there's a harder ceiling on biden in texas than on these other three. but doesn't look like the -- it looks like the campaign is ba basically rolling the dice saying, if we're wasting a day campai

voting for a federal government, he must also choose a governor for his state, members of the state assembly, county judges, all the minor offices and various legislative amendments. when bill johnson is finished, he elected an entire government from top to bottom, that is if majority of voters think the way he does about it. it's not only here in riverton that the voting is heavy today. all over the country people are conscious of the momentous issues facing the nation and the world. ♪ ♪ this is their way of expressing their conviction of how and by whom these issues should be met. ♪ ♪ the two major presidential candidates vote likell of the other citizens. one of them in new york city describes himself as a lawyer. the other up in the country where his home is gives his occupation as farmer. for those who cannot come to the pollsentee ballotisvi supervised by the local notary. this is the same kind of ballot in this wartime election is sent to member of the armed forces at home andbroad. these ballots are returned to be counted in their rerespective states. in 1864, with the nation auction

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

when he ran in new york state to be governor of new york state. in 1914, martin glen faced anticatholic prejudice. it showed up in the 1915 constitutional convention as a little bit of a whispering campaign. he went into this in advance of the election knowing this would be an issue. in fact, he addressed this issue in 1927 in his he ply to the atlantic monthly discussing why a catholic man could be president although it was a very good statement, but it was intellectual and it went over everybody's heads. >> we are in the new york state assembly chamber in albany new york, finished in 1894. we also are pleased to have join us a studio audience of albany area residents, historians, some interested in al smith here, and they'll have a chance to ask questions about our two guests. and we're going to put the phone numbers on the screen. we're not going to take phone calls for a little while. we're going to put them on the screen so you can start to dial in now. this is the sixth in our 14-week series, "the contenders." 202-737-0001, 202-737-0002 if y

very tight in those 4 'd or 5 states that are going to decide the election and then the other states that are traditionally red and blue it's pretty much decided i don't buy that it's a nice talking point here that really has about can't just play and play but that's a that's just not it the last thing is i think too bad the guest year is not on t.v. the talk about for packing and the fact that it's been 133 years and it's been tried 60 years ago that to try to do this when it's not going their way they want to change the rules and have it larger court believe me it will run the other shoe be a different or something rushed about this process it's absolutely constitutional and it's absolutely appropriate and note how they don't want to talk about any komi baird anymore because she was a stellar a candidate for the court nominees should say and the performance was suspect but dr but i hope they bring up court all right i hope they bring and they want to change our system and of course not tell the american people what they have in mind to their elected. rick the swing states florida p

in one of those states. north carolina, account loot a at this. biden, 52, trump, 46%. this is a state that donald trump carried by 3.5 points in 2016. it's critical to the president's pathway. if he has one to get to 270 electoral votes. in our poll he finds himself down by 6 points. can show you one of the reasons for that here. look at this. by race in 2016 in north carolina here is how things broke down. take a look at these same groups. among black voters looks very similar, but here's the change. here's the shift. white voters, trump still leads, but his lead has been cut more than in half from 2016 from 31 down to 14. you see the state at least in our polling shifting from one that trump won in 2016 to one that now biden leads in the home stretch. by the way, white voters, if you break that down, college and non-college, these are two groups that are voting differently. look at this. steady white voters without a college degree. look all the this gain for biden. trump winning that group by 20 points t

well, president trump is hopping from must-win state to must-win state. in the lead up to this final presidential debate here in nashville, which will likely be his last chance to really change the trajectory of this 2020 campaign and try as he might, he simply cannot escape his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. a president trump's campaign rally in pennsylvania, no signs of the coronavirus pandemic that's impacting much of the country, as supporters stood without practicing social distancing and very few wearing masks. trump telling the crowd in erie, he was not expecting to make a stop there at all this year. >> before the plague came in, i had it made. i wasn't coming to erie. i mean, i have to be honest. there's no way i was coming. i didn't have to. i would have called you and said, hey, erie, if you have a chance, get out and vote. we had this thing won. >> reporter: while the president continued to make false claims about status of the coronavirus crisis in the united states -- >> we're rounding the turn on the pandemic. normal life will finall

every year we come to the general assembly and your elected state representatives and state senatorsnd the governor have this discussion about where the dollars will be allocated. usually during the upcoming session in january. our corporate tax by the way is going down to 4.9%. the tax is 3.2% and the tax foundation has ranked indiana in the top ten in terms of our tax environment in the nation. so what we seek to do ultimately is make sure that indiana remains a great state for businesses, for individuals to invest in so we grow. >> these folks are doing incredible work they could be doing other things in life extremely talented with a lot of expertise we have modernize so many systems over the years department of workforce development things that are touching citizens every day trying to the number you want an efficient state years ago when one of my professors came into office we have cut to the bone. >> moving on to the fifth question although they still pay property taxes because of rising prices you cannot pay taxes on a fixed income with other expenditures and would you consi

our secretary of state issued absentee ballot applications to everybody in the state in june ahead of our [inaudible]. ... other communities so there were ways to make it easier and also with the voter information center to keep track of whether the ballots and that is what we see in the issue for november 3rd when the voters look at the about what so we put our procedures in place and allow them to vote and back [inaudible] >> i'm going to warn the other panelists. i want you to put on your hat there are a lot of changes in the voting process some have been done by legislature and some by courts. what is your recommendation to voters who may be concerned with the rules may be changing? >> that is a great question. at this point it's to return the ballot in person and prior to the closing of the polls on election day whatever method allowed. some mentioned drop boxes. most at a minimum allow you to drop off your ballot at the local election office and so some states are now allowing you to drop off your absentee ballot. take a look at what your options are so that way there's no quest

states decide them. i'm not a constitutional lawyer. i'm not a lawyer, but my colleagues at the cato institute tell me that there is at least reason to look into whether or not certificate of need laws and state licensing laws might constitute a form of antitrust violation. at least asked the federal trade commission to look into that. >> that's interesting. i can't see the clock. do i have any time left? well, somebody cut me off. dr. michael, in your testimony you say there should be no additional stimulus payment to individual companies out, we should face up the enhanced implement. unfortunately so many of my constituents have received your check. i'm washington state right on the border and people cross over. it's been a bit of a mess and so the stimulus checks were the only thing that people actually, some of these people got in there and pretty dire situations. how would you suggest we reform the unemployment insurance system or some help the state do it so you don't end up in this problem again?

the state troopers come true position, state employs support my campaign. troopers on the front lines. the people who work underneath governor sununu do not want to see a third term of governor sununu. where to look out for employees at her state employs the front lines. >> this morning as mentioned lakes region general healthcare announced they are filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. this comes as new hampshire hospital association says between march and july the state hospitals have already lost $575 million in $575 million and projected a total of 700 million in losses by the end of the year. it's already resulted in furloughs at some hospitals. governor, you authorized 100 million emergency funding from the cares act to support health care providers through end of this year. how much more are you prepared to put forth in public dollars, state dollars if necessary, and how would the state before that? >> we made a commitment early on that no one would be shutting their doors, and they are not. lakes region was having financial trouble prevented and we were

we pick president state by state, so why pay attention to the national polls. normally that's a good guy. look at the choice for president right now, hillary clinton was up about 4 points at this point in 2016. she did win but it narrowed on election day. joe biden is up 12 points. a 12 point national lead sets the table for a potential blue wave. a 12 point national lead that has been relatively study. a couple of dips, but 12 points. a 12 point national lead. that's a national poll worth paying attention to. can donald trump get momentum. yes, time is running short. you look into the bones of the poll, what is happening here. one is on personal characteristics. donald trump, hunter biden, career politician, won't have big rallies and events. he has tried to attack joe biden. 55% of voters have a favorable opinion of the nominee. 41% have the same favorable opinions of the president of the united states, on questions of honesty, integrity, trust worthiness, joe biden is winning the race, and that matters. if you're the president and you can't beat joe biden on

and trying to hit states where early voting is under way. the former president can help mobilize men and voters in the crucial final stretch. all of the events so far have been solo, there is a po possibility that joe biden and barack obama can appear together in the end of the campaign, repricing their partnership. >> if you listen to president obama's speeches he did today, and the other way, 35, 40 minutes, it says he has the campaign ability and under scores while he was twice elected president. very good. thank you very much. let's bring in the senior and thanks so much for joining us. let's take a moment to listen. >> eight months in the pandemic. new cases are breaking records. don't trumpd isn't going to suddenly protect all of us. he can't even take the basic steps to protect himself. we don't want a president who threatening people with jail for just criticizing him. that is not normal behavior, florida. florida men wouldn't even do this stuff. with joe and kamala at the help, you wouldn't have to think about them every single day.

georgia is a toss up state, legitimately a toss up state. nobody saw that coming necessarily and he is playing big there on television as is trump. there are other states. he is up in ohio, a toss up state now. trump won by nine last time. you want to do with resources what you can't do with physical presence and surrogates. so yes. concentrate on those three states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, but i would be greedy, thinking bigger given his lead in the national poll. >> you say you would be greedy, thinking bigger. i want to talk about the ad spending stuff. this is an unusual development in the campaign, biden campaign has more money than the trump campaign. the trump campaign has to be more careful how it spends it. this is the president's advertising in wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan. you notice wisconsin, 6.1 to 1.1. pennsylvania, 13 million to 8 million. michigan, 8 million to 5 million. biden is already outspending him. flip the coin, david, if you were, sorry to put you in uncomfortable position, advising the president's c

>> will under pennsylvania law , and let me emphasize is very state-by-state. so what i'll say about pennsylvania does not necessarily apply everywhere. under pennsylvania law has to be the choice of electors has to be part of a normal lawmaking process there are several levels this is being asked. suppose there is a clear winner in the popular vote in pennsylvania than the state legislature was to potentially overturn that election, can it do that? the short answer is not under pennsylvania law. but then you get into an interesting debate in the u.s. constitution because article two of the constitution says each state shall determine in a manner determined by the legislature thereof a number of electors. and so you do have the possibility that state legislatures could make the argument they have independent authority to choose electoral space. that is not the end of the story even there. because we have a robust voting rights if you overturn popular election the courts will have something to say about it. i doing to emphasize one thing just because i may have

in illinois, one of the state's trending up in cases, officials say almost every region in the state has seen an increase in covid-related hospitalizations over the last week. tighter restrictions on gatherings are coming. >> it didn't happen by itself. people are being careless. people are getting cocky. people are thinking it's not going to happen to me. it's over. no, it's all wrong. >> reporter: the williamsburg section of brooklyn in new york city is not in a so-called red zone of coronavirus hot spots there but state officials barred a planned gathering in that neighborhood for the wedding of the grandson of an orthodox jewish rabbi. a gathering where they say up to 10,000 people were expected to attend. >> you don't want to disrespect anybody. people are about to gathering but within reason. we want to make sure there are no large gatherings in excess of 50 people. >> reporter: as communities fight off outbreaks, the race for a vaccine gets more intense. the british government is planning to conduct the first so-called human challenge studies. where healthy volunteers are deli

the state afford that? gov. sununu: we made a commitment early on that no one shut their doors. and they are not. lakes region was having trouble pre-pandemic and we are working with them. in a restructuring process. today's news is no surprise and it is good news because concord is a tremendous health care center and they will work with lakes region. they will work with them in the merger process. early on, lakes region was one of the first groups we put money to to make sure the doors stayed open and they could go through restructuring, and we provided dollars to physicians and hospitals, $100 million. plus more. we have always said no one will shut doors through the pandemic. in federal government came with aid and they will come in with more as well. i think the hospitals are down about 5% to their cost. in the red about 5%, but that is manageable. we will be there for them, orther it is the hospital your dentist, they have been working on the merger for quite some time and i think it's a great opportun

her home state of texas.livingston is the washington bureau chief for the "texas tribune." priscilla, why are democrats so hopeful that senator harris' visit can help flip the blue state? at this point, don't people know what they're doing? >> well, steph, for starters, those tightening poll numbers are giving them a lot of encouragement and why they need to be here. especially because there has actually been a string of polls showing a tightening race. even republican senator ted cruz has admitted that it is shaping up to be quite a race here in texas. but the other thing that is giving the democrats a lot of excitement is those record-breaking turnout numbers we're seeing here in the state. i had an opportunity to speak with former congressman beto o'rourke about that. and he tells me that texas is going to be important not only for the 38 electoral votes that it will award but also for when we could know those results. take a listen to what he said. >> we will know on the night of november 3rd who has won

the granite state debate. tonight, the candidates for governor. >> good evening and thank you for joining us for tonight's governors debate. i am political director adam sexton. we will hear from the candidates for the corner office about their plans for new hampshire and their records so far. the debate is happening live but as usual, inc.'s will look different. studio,lists are in the jennifer vann and john to stay so. the candidates are in a different studio, separated by several feet as part of covid-19 precautions good we look forward to a robust debate. let's look at the candidate backgrounds. governor who's planning and management faced a life or death tested this year. governor sununu: there were tough decisions we had to make. for: known for pushing progressive reforms. >> i've been pushing for families every step of the way. adam: they have two different approaches be it republican governor chris sununu has spearheaded much of the state response to covid-19 and move forward on another of this year's

now the state pays 75%. that will be driven largely by the success of the oil industry. 53% of state revenues came from oil. that is not diversifying our economy. we lost energy jobs. we are in competition with 27 other states for the electricity market. we need to continue to be competitive. we have cold plant closings. that will affect whole communities. we have become too dependent on one source of income. he does not have the grit to do it. coal plant is actually going to shut down. we collect $1 billion every year in property taxes. 700 million of that goes to public schools. we need to start using the trust that $700 million that goes to education out of our property taxes. so we can eliminate property taxes. that makes it much easier. i lost my train of thought. >> we are getting close to the end of the debate. this question relates to what you were talking about just now. supportinga has been and all of the above energy strategy. with the impending closure of cold creek station, should the state be m

these are the battleground states.ow what i'm going to do is looking at, again, the average of polls. president trump today is ahead in two states. the two states where he's up about 1 percentage point, that is -- texas and ohio. that gets him to 181. all right. so still not at 270. then all of these other states here. you see them in gray. joe biden is ahead in the average of polls. a lot of options just looking at gray states which represent those that are battleground states available. now what i'm going to do is i'm going to give joe biden all of the states where he's got over a 5% lead in the average of polls today. look at those numbers. he's up to 258. he is still short, though, of the magic 270 by 12 and president trump is short by 89. so how do you get to those numbers all said for both of the candidates? let's drill down on these. when you look at the paths to victory based on this map here, alex. there are seven ways for joe biden to get to 270. there is one way for donald trump to get to the white house one

in state after state we see the results of president trump's grass roots operation.on't have a ground game to draw those votes. >> one state where the ground game could make or break it is north carolina. geoff zelleny is out front. >> thank you, north. vote. >> reporter: horns honk for joe biden. >> hello, north carolina. >> reporter: the real work is also happening here in the neighborhoods of trump and biden supporters. in the closing days of the race volunteers for the biden campaign are hitting the streets for the first time in eight months after being grounded by the pandemic. >> joe biden, let's hear it. >> reporter: they have gloves, masks and an urgent task. finding voters who still haven't been reached. >> people have been calling and texting and writing and everything they can do and have not heard from these voters. this conversation or this contact is really important. >> reporter: carolyn and scarlet have been itching to knock on doors. >> we have to really get those votes out. >> you wonder what the other side has been doing and if they've been doing i

a state he won by the smallest margin of any state in 2016. just 10,700 votes. it's a place he's been trailing joe biden in almost all the polls. and from here he heads to wisconsin, another co-vid hot spot before then going to minnesota where we're seeing the real life implications of the coronavirus and health and safety guidelines affecting the president's rally. he's being restricted to only 250 people at that event because of what the governor is concerned about there which is the spread of coronavirus and in minnesota we've seen cases directly linked to attendance at the president's past rallies. but as we talk about the next couple of days, the midwest is critical. the president, remember, in 2 6 2016, his very last campaign rally of that cycle, was in grand rapids, michigan. it's something he loves to tout. i wouldn't be surprise first down we see something similar in the closing final stretch before tuesday. >> mike, monica talked about minnesota. that's a state that democrats won in 2016. joe biden getting on his plane within the last couple minutes sa

state.ere in washington we have a leadership crisis. i have been in leadership positions my entire life i served in the united states army. i was a sergeant. i went through drill sergeant school. i also went through that noncommissioned officers academy. i was an honor graduate from the non-commissioned officers academy. i was also an honor graduate from my advanced individual training class. i trained civilians into being soldiers. after my military service in the 101st airborne division i went into the civilian workforce i learned the building trades and worked in the olympia area right where we are now. i worked for other people for three or four years and then in 1988 i started my own construction business working right out of libya, right here. i built that up from nothing ran it over 20 years and then realized my childhood dream in 2010, and became a police officer. i've been in leadership positions my entire life. i have three different careers where i've been in leadership and this s

overtaking state after state after state after state to the point where there are more states in trouble, more states in the worst category, more states in the red zone than there have been at any other time in the pandemic since the white house started keeping these records while the president says everything's fine. it's going away. by the way, come to my rally. no mask required. after releasing these reports that had previously not been shown to the public, congressman clyburn said this today. quote, the reports released today show that the white house has been aware since just after labor day that cases were rising dramatically around the country. the white house chose to hide these reports even as president trump claimed publicly that the coronavirus affects virtually nobody and hosted potential superspreading events in states the task force warned had rising cases, states including wisconsin and minnesota and north carolina. joining us now is congressman james clyburn, dean of the south carolina congressional delegation, the third ranking democrat in the house. sir, thank you so mu

as much as these swing states.ecause joe biden's going to win states like new york and california, and joe biden's -- sorry. donald trump's going to win the deep red states. what you need to do is look at these individual battleground states, and those are the number e we care about. let's talk about the great state of florida. there's no scenario in which donald trump can get re-elected if he loses florida. none. just the math just isn't there. >> hmm. >> if you look at these non-affiliated voters, they're favoring joe biden, exactly the opposite of four years ago, when they favored donald trump. why? because senior numbers are meeving. sca -- moving. scared of the coronavirus. and, two, youth evolving in a much bigger percentage than 2016. the numbers by state to look at. not the national numbers. >> yeah. okay. before i let you go, just appa l apologi apologize. i'm voting in new york and i'm from california. i understand. >> not as deeply as pennsylvania. >> had to qualify it. couldn't give a simple apology. >>

every year we come to the general assembly, your elected state representatives and state senators and the governor have this discussion about where dollars will be allocated usually during the upcoming session in january. our corporate income tax is going down to 4.9%. our individual income tax, 3.2%. the tax foundation has ranked indiana in the top 10 in terms of tax environment in the nation. what we seek to do is make sure indiana remains a great state for businesses, for individuals to invest in so we grow. that is where our program policies pay offer hoosiers, the low cost of doing business and low cost of living state plus progrowth policies on the business side equal getting ahead. >>moderator: last on this question, mister rainwater. >> rainwater: before we talk about taxes we need to talk about spending and we need to realize our state government wastes millions if not billions of dollars a year on old processes, old systems and plain old fraud, waste and abuse which everybody knows it, they just don't want to talk about it. what we have to do is reduce the size and scope of

when he ran in new york state to be governor of new york state he faced it then. in fact, in 1914 martin glen, who was -- assumed the office of governorfaced anti-catholic prejudice. the constitution convention, a whispering campaign. smith went into this a full year, four years or so in advance of the election, knowing that this would be an issue. in fact, he addressed this issue in 1927 in his reply to the atlantic monthly discussing why a catholic man could be president which was a very good statement, although it was intellectual. it went over everybody's heads and didn't help his campaign. >> as you mentioned earlier we are in the new york state assembly chamber in albany, new york in the new york state capitol building finished in 1894. we also have pleased to have join us a studio audience of albany area residents, some college students, some historians, some interested in al smith folks here and they'll also have a chance to ask some questions of our two guests about al smith in the 1928 election. as will you and we're going to put the phone numbers up on
