the final election debate next week about making the june 4th joining me now from washington is our sumi so misconduct has been keeping an eye on things sumi good to see you what's been the reaction over there to how the rivals fared on their t.v. appearances last night. michael i think this really here is being seen as a study and how different these 2 candidates are how different they are in tone and content we saw in those pictures their president trump relatively combative evading the some questions joe biden on the other hand delivering very lengthy at times as the piece said meandering answer is really policy driven we didn't hear or see much new from either candidate but beyond that the reaction has been very predictably along partisan lines so president trump's team here are celebrating the fact that they say the president showed strength that he was able to engage with voters and shape the narrative in a way where he was able to highlight what he sees as some of his administration's accomplishments joe biden seen saying this is an example of why he needs to be the next president

so miscounted who is in washington sumi how did the 1st public appearance to go. first. public appearance after the hospital visit. nic all eyes on the president today as you said you know this was his 1st appearance since he was released from the hospital and it would let's keep in mind that was just a little over a week ago that the president tweeted out to the world that he in the 1st lady had tested positive for covert $1000.00 and on saturday we saw this large event at the white house that flouted public health guidelines there were hundreds of supporters on hand most of them were wearing masks and the president himself was speaking from the balcony over the south lawn so he was keeping distance but knowing what the risks are that are involved here these images were remarkable and now what did he talk about what we heard in that clip there that he discussed what he calls the china virus defeating the china virus and interestingly he had on hand there a number of black and latino supporters and he called it a peaceful protest for law and order and the reason f
