she allowed mike pence to interrupt. some saying she was allowing him to do that and helping him to look like donald trump the week before. we talked about policy but also there were untruths. the fact checkers going on overdrive. we are hearing exactly what lay behind what the two candidates said. we touched on these earlier but these danger for the democrats that a bunch of people who voted democrat before may just stay people who voted democrat before mayjust stay home is so many of them did in 2016 with the consequences we all know about. did this feel to you like it was enough to change that? i don't know. it is interesting. when all is said and done, the point of the debate is to speak directly to the american people and specifically to american voters who are as yet undecided. will this debate change anything like that? we had from kamala harris at the end of the debate on appealfor harris at the end of the debate on appeal for people to get out and vote. when you speak to people here on the ground in utah, a deep

mike pence played mike pence, kamala harris played kamala harris. >> yeah. she was definitely kamala. i think she was -- she connected and was warm but in command and strong. and i do think the moments that stood out in the whole debate, besides her really showing her command of a great bit of policy across a lot of different sectors of public policy was health care and mismanagement of the covid crisis. i think both of those issues are very important in four weeks and i think she handled them pitch perfectly. >> james, tim kaine, last foreign have debated mike pence before national audience said this about mike pence, remember the former radio talk show host, quote, he can look in a camera and deliver a line with utmost sincerity, even if he knows it to be absolutely untrue. what stood out to you tonight? >> i will not be lectured, senator harris said that multiple times. women hate to be lectured by men and she drove that point home. other thing that stood out to me, referred to vice president biden as joe. conscientious decision that was made. two things

and mike pence is the chair of the coronavirus task force. under his direction and donald trump's direction, we have at your hundred 10,000 deaths. in the last month, 3a states... right now, there covid cases are higher than they were in month ago, hospitalizations are going up. it has been an abject failure. people are dying. he did not have to be this bad. and tonight we are going to talk about it. we cannot fix our economy, and our economy has collapsed to levels unseen since our great depression, we cannot fix the economy until we fix the coronavirus, and the abject failure of this administration has had just a horrific consequent is in the united states. that's going to the centre of this discussion tonight. what are you expecting? 0ne assumes we are knocking —— not notice the 80 repeat of the presidential debate? you have kamala harris, a trial lawyer, incredibly eloquent, mike pence, former radio host. we are expecting an elevated debate, surely. i sure hope mike pence does not repeat what donald trump did last week, interruption a

but it didn't, it landed on mike pence. and it says something, maybe something karmic about the status of the campaign. you have a fox news poll that has biden up ten points. rasmussen has biden up 12. the numbers are imploding, the campaign is cratering, it's falling apart. those are the conditions under which mike pence had to stand up there and lie, but the american people get what's going on. >> and i'll just say on the fact check what steve schmidt has said about the numbers is true. what he said about the ultimate moral reckoning of whether the fly connotes evil or devil is above my pay grade. but i can't confirm it. >> some people are saying historically about the fly. >> steve schmidt, always good to have you. the other big topic in the debate is of course the president's supreme court plans a month heading into the election. >> president trump and i could not be more enthusiastic about the opportunity to see judge amy coney barrett become justice amy coney barrett. she's a brilliant woman, and she will bring a life

there is a career politician element to mike pence. host: one less call for you, stacy waiting in virginia for those who support the biden-harris ticket. caller: good morning, america. thank you for taking my call. cannot run out of religion because religious freedom is discrimination based on religious beliefs. he cannot run on the coronavirus because he handled it just like he handled the hiv outbreak in indiana, over 20,000 americans are dead, and as far as law and order, it has been a klansman, nazis, white supremacist who shot and killed federal police officers, who set police stations on fire, who tore down statues. those have been the people fbi have been arresting, not black people. they have been blaming black people for the crimes white supremacists commit. pence has no record to run on. he should be running from the law, not for office. host: i will give you the final 1.5 minutes. ofst: pence is a man moderation. he believes in proper moderation in all things, certainly when it comes to style. on matters of substance, you co

he should have answered that. -- >> what about vice president mike pence? >> of course, but i think this whole thing about a peaceful transfer of power is a little hysterical. the supreme court, this is litigated, the supreme court is going to decide. there's going to be a bush v gore decision and it's going to be enforced. there's not a single chance, there won't be troops in the streets and violent opposition to donald trump leaving the white house if he loses. >> i think the question of packing the courts is a little hysterical, tomac. if joe biden takes office -- packing the court is it would be such an extreme measure that would take such a huge, huge legislative and legal left. i think it's one of those out there perhaps to the left but it's not likely to happen. so i actually think that, you know, the biden campaign is wise not to address it. >> in order to add judges to the court, not only would joe biden have to win the presidency, but the democrats would have to take over the senate and that's just the politics of the electoral piece of it. then l

trump, mike pence, biden and harris. in the past two hours, the whole map on the left has been mostly blue, turquoise blue that shows how my harris has been the most search for candidate and in the top right—hand corner of the united states, the north—eastern united states, people there have just started looking for mike pence in the last half—an—hour. if you look on the right, that just half—an—hour. if you look on the right, thatjust shows donald trump and joe biden. before the debate, that was mostly before the debate, that was m ostly rea d , before the debate, that was mostly read, mostly donald trump and is the debate has gone on, it is mostly leaning towards being blue. does that mean essentially that from kamala harris's point of view, job done. it's about putting herself in front of the american nation and that map of the states there suggests she has done that. yes, she has got the retention. they are looking for that. i would say that. whether it has affected the polls, we'll have to see because th

mike pence comes into this as the veteran. he goes back to 2016. what do we know about his debate style and what are your spec tonight? he was deemed the winner against the debate -- guest: he was deemed the winner against tim kaine and one of those polls taken after the confrontation. tim kaine did the interrupting and pence refrained. he remained unruffled throughout. this is a skill he honed way back in high school. he attended columbus north high school which had a nationally prize-winning speech and debate team. his senior year, he and the rest of the team went to seattle for the national forensic league competition and he placed third in a category called impromptu. in that the division, you are given a topic right there on the spot. you have 30 seconds to think about it and then you must address that topic for five minutes. he is good at this and he has been doing it for a long time. host: he said tim kaine did interrupting and 2016, how aggressive do you expect the vice president to be tonight on the faces senator penny on the debate stage?

you saw the fly to send on mike pence's ha mike pence head? what did you think? >> i'm glad the fly didn't land on joe biden's head because he would've collapsed under the weight of the housefly. i'm also glad it didn't land on kamala harris because if it would landed on kamala, cnn would've labeled it a hate cri hate crime. i'm happy that both those things didn't happen. if head had landed on nancy pelosi, i think it would've just crawled in one eac and walked out the other. >> tucker: [chuckling] so good! i'm glad i asked you. i it didn't occur to you as a noted expert on demonic possession, it didn't occur to you as an exorcist type of moment as it did to msnbc? >> i know what happened. the fly was disorientated because it had just fled california. it couldn't take it anymore. the fly -- sure, there is all the fecal matter all over the streets. that was great. but it couldn't take gavin newsom anymore so the fly left for utah. >> tucker: [laughter] i even the insects, the dung beetles, the carrion eaters, they are leaving too? the whole food chain? >> homeless

it's not up to mike pence to decide who won the election. we have a legal process for counting votes and the electoral college to meet, cast votes and the vote to be certified. the most important thing i can say to people is to vote. i think the fundamental problem in bush v. gore was a very, very close election and it was subject to all kinds of chicanery on the part of the bush campaign. the only way to win is to have an overwhelming result in 2020. the biden campaign is absolutely ready to fight this in court. we have aggressive voter protections, all these things. but the single best line of defense for democracy is people exercising their right to vote and making it clear they want the era of trump to end. >> ron klain, no one knows more about closely fought presidential elections than ron klain. thank you for joining us. >> thanks lawrence. thanks for having me. >>> when we come back y did mike pence interrupt kamala harris 16 times last night and why did the moderator of the debate make sure that kamala harris did not get equal time t

i think mike pence is. i think you're going to see probably the best case you will see for the administration ever put forward tonight for their covid response. number two, i agree with van, there's no question that this is going to be focused on the fact, fact that she's had the most liberal voting record of any united states senator. she's not a stalking horse for the left, she is the vanguard of the left. that's what he's going to make it out to be. >> doesn't this have to be about joe biden? you know, he can attack kamala harris and say, yeah, you're left wing and he's an empty vessel. but he has to talk about joe biden's record and she has to defend joe biden's record. >> joe biden said he's the democratic party. but look who he chose. he's going to serve one term, maybe. and look who he chose to fill in. the most liberal member of the united states senate. >> isn't the backdrop for this, we have a president who is positive for covid-19 in the white house, who is walking around the white house and poss

mike pence is a lwa ys on this one? mike pence is always an under the radar guy. he was a good governor and a decent lawmaker. he is someone who is more of a traditional republican. and so mike pence's job, really, in the white house has been to support the president, to give him some credibility with the traditional republican party andi traditional republican party and i think he ends up being sort of in the explainer position of trying to interpret some of president trump's more unconventional positions as a conventional politician, so we will see where he goes tonight, but i think that vice president pence could potentially reassure people that the administration really does have the current service under control and that despite what might make the nervous about president trump's tweets, he is after a ll president trump's tweets, he is after all the leader of the president's coronavirus task force —— have any current verse under control. to the extent he has to talk about that, and i don't the key can get away from that, he would rather talk about the eco

mike pence is the statesman. and mike pence is always the guy who completely and totally unflappable in every way. but in some of those conversations that you talked about taxes gianno and some of the other things there are things that kamala harris brought up that i don't think are the top focus things for america. when she brought back up russia for example i thought was that a miss for her. she was strongest on coronavirus and strongest in saying that the trump administration has not actually satisfied the american people and failed the american people. i think the problem is and i think you point to it in some of the frank luntz pulling and things like that while and this is really about what party you belong. to say the political left thinks that mike pension was man explaining and the political right takes a how kamala harris responds and reacts to things that's not the way a vice president or a leader should do it. if we are going to talk about presidential tone, mike pence wins that category hands down go

there was a mike pence library account but popped up. bit of the history here, hillary clinton, a fly landed on her face in the 2016 debate and a fly also land on michael bloomberg's face during his dnc speech so i don't know what is going on at political events, they need to get some bug spray. jillian: we just made reference to kamala harris making meme worthy expressions. >> beverly holberg on that next. ♪ these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the services of the post office plus ups only cheaper get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. >> donald trump put america first. the reality if i may finish we could lose 2.2 million americans. jillian: kamala harris facing off against mike pence with some expressive reactions during the debate. todd: jo

will they need to send particularly mike pence? >> mike pence need to hammer the we are in the middle of a pandemic and economic slump and biden and harris wants to raise taxes on working americans by $4 trillion, the radical left biden and harris want to stifle the energy economy that has created thousands of jobs, encouraged more devastating economic lockdowns, voiced support for $1 trillion green new deal boondoggle, universal healthcare, government control of every aspect of the economy. mike pence needs to challenge harris on her economic plan, stifle the economy, heard jobs, kill american dreams, aspirations and entrepreneurial spirit, won't be easy for pence but he has got to at least try. kamala harris, not part of this, to appeal to bolstering her party. jillian: let's look at these numbers, the question is who would handle the economy better? as you can see, 49%, something else to show you, the state of the economy, 11.4 million jobs covered. how important do you think it is for the vice president to say look at the econo

mike pence held steady. he didn't lose ground but didn't make up any ground. 41% before the ground favorable and after the debate favorable. the critical question, are they qualified to be president, can they stop into the top job. 63% of debate watchers they kamala harris is qualified to be president. and mike pence, the sitting vice president of the united states scores equally as well, 65% say he is ready and qualified to be president. only 34% of debate watchers said he is not. >> we're going to be getting more results from you as well. i know you're going through numbers right now, david chalian. let's go back to jake, dana, and abby. >> one of the interesting moments dana, considering this is an administration in which president trump has leaned on the cdc and fda to help him get re-elected by getting a vaccine out or therapeutics out to the point that people who work at the cdc and fda are worried about their agencies being taint. one interesting moment was vice president pence telling kamala harris n

mike pence will be more reasonable sounding. that is a different context or environment for having a debate. bes important not to confused that his delivery can be different but his substance is the same. we saw that at the republican national convention. it's going to be important not only for kamala harris to share her vision but also for the say what-- that he can he says with a confidence and a smile but it doesn't make it anymore true or good for the american people because his demeanor may be different. >> of what to bring you into the conversation. you have known kamala harris since she was a prosecutor in california. how do you think hurt debate style -- do you expect her to take advantage of that tonight? >> absolutely it is great to be here with you. historic occasion. the first time a woman of color will be in a vice presidential debate. let's recognize we are going to be witnessing history. it speaks to the different audiences. because it is the first time we have seen someone who looks like large, ais stage this lot

we haven't seen her up against mike pence. we haven't seen him ina mike pence. we haven't seen him in a live tv debate for four year5, in a live tv debate for four years, 2016. so there will be a huge amount of attention on thi5 vice presidential debate. will it change what happens, come november three? unlikely. sophie, thank you very much indeed for that. let's bring in our two analysts. with us to help look forward to the debate are amanda renteria, former national political directorfor hillary clinton in 2016. kamala harris of this reputation of being pretty formidable. she was in the senate committee hearings and eve ryo ne senate committee hearings and everyone will remember the great cava nagh everyone will remember the great cavanagh questioning, the william barr questioning. but asa william barr questioning. but as a debater, isn't she really quite inconsistent? she was very good, i remember, in miami,june, 2019, in very good, i remember, in miami, june, 2019, in the democratic primary. never quite regretted that magic, did she come in the letter debate

mike pence is 61. kamala harris is in her late 50s. they do represent the younger aspect and the younger generation of these two tickets. i think everyone looks at them with an eye to what they would look like as president. both of them are potential future presidents and would be using the role of the next four years to try to take that to get people to see them that way or potentially to take over. we have never had a president as old as joe biden. he would be 86 at the end of his second term and there have been polls that show a lot of americans believe, a majority of americans believe he might not go through the first term and into the second term. these two individuals have to be evaluated on the basis of that. do the american people see them as a president of the united states in this case, bill? >> bill: we'll see in prime time and throughout the day today. martha maccallum here in salt lake. back to sandra in new york. >> sandra: thank you. forecasters warning the residents of the louisiana and mississippi as hurricane delta kh

one other thing about mike pence that i found fascinating watching this is mike pence misleads and prevaricates as much as donald trump but he just does it with conviction and sincerity. that's what i thought was amazing about watching this debate. >> and he does come across as very sincere. rahm, last week's presidential debate was widely considered to be the worst debate ever. we often say that elections are about the top of the ticket. but with biden 77 and trump 74 with covid, do you think that tonight was more important than the typical vice presidential debate? >> i don't think this will change the race, and that's not good for donald trump. i think it's very important because in many ways these are understudies to two candidates and i think they're showing themselves not only for 2024 but what kind of, as i said earlier, and i believe, she -- kamala harris talked about being a partner. pence was very much the loyal soldier. the one other thing i would touch on, while all the issues were touched by susan in asking questions about policy, one of the things that's out there and is palpable

pence and senator harris, you can see why the democrats were building up mike pence as a debater. he was disciplined, sharp, the best i've seen him and he had his -- senator thank you points talking about covid-19 and fighting for justice but it seemed many times that mike pence control the conversation in a different kind of way, much different debate than the first presidential debate in tone and tenor and how it was run and how it was completed. >> it started out a little bit tentative but it built in a very strong way for the vice president, his job that he was sent out to do was to have his markers and fix some of what wasn't laid down in terms of the trump policy and the successes they see in the trump presidency. i think the folks in the trump camp will feel really good tonight. the president is very happy with how the vice president did with regard to kamala harris, she was forceful, she made a lot of faces that mike pence as he was making his way through his arguments against her but she did her best to put her best foot forward in this debate but it was a strong night fo

mike pence will be very, very well prepared. it will be an opportunity to expose the radical left agenda of biden/harris. kamala harris was rated the most liberal member of the united states senate even further to the left than bernie sanders. she is a co-sponsor of his bill medicare for all. it would outlaw private health insurance. i am pretty sure those will be points that mike pence brings up tomorrow night. >> bill: we will get to the issues then. tim, thanks for your time. see you later in salt lake city. in a moment the president's doctor said he is not out of the woods. the care he is receiving in the white house. and the pollster on how the diagnosis could play out in the campaign. we continue from salt lake city. come on back right after this. ♪ [ sneeze ] skip to cold relief fast with alka seltzer plus severe powerfast fizz. dissolves quickly. instantly ready to start working. ♪ oh, what a relief it is! so fast! did you know cliberty mutualir. customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? just g

mike pence had a fantastic debate, he did extremely well. his super power is debating, it seems like. that was partly because he is just skilled at what he does. it is also true that he has a record of accomplishment under the trump administration that was very easy to talk about and so he did well on substance and on style. >> harris: all right, real quickly, you said, you know, having questions from those people participating, having done enough debates and panels, i would say that i like to ask each side to give me a question before the evening starts that you would want me to ask on your behalf to get something going. i look through the options, it is always really interesting, like you say, mollie. okay, we'll scoot. hurricane delta is strengthening back to a category 2 storm. now it is headed for the u.s. gulf coast. we knew it was coming. when and where it could make exact landfall next. plus, vice president mike pence and senator kamala harris battling over the pandemic and last night's debate as pence accused harris of politicizing

mike pence: lo importante es decir la verdad. joe biden dijo dos veces en el debate que va a revocar los recortes fiscales de trump, los que le dio la familia promedio trabajadora. un recorte fiscal cada aÑo. senadora, de eso se trata. no solamente va a revocar parte de los cortes fiscales. kamala harris: la comunidad de agencia de inteligencia ha informado que rusia tuvo injerencia en las elecciones. que estÁ haciendo lo mismo en el 2020. el director del fbi ha dicho lo mismo, pero donald trump, comandante en jefe de los estados unidos de amÉrica, prefiere aceptar la palabra de vladimir putin y no aceptarla de las agencias de inteligencia en estados unidos. pedro: el vicepresidente pence dijo y defendiÓ que el presidente trump no es un hombre racista. mike pence: me quiero decir que la posiciÓn que escuchamos consistentemente de joe biden y kamala harris, que los estados unidos es sistemÁticamente racista. como dijo joe biden, Él cree que las agencias policiales tienen un fanatismo implÍcito contra las minorías, es un g

mike pence is good, too. he can be very effective. i think she will manage this well and she will be able to deliver a message in a way that joe biden couldn't do because of who he had at his side. that is a big opportunity for the biden-harris ticket. that, thefront of hillary clinton advice, don't get too angry. or prepared does the senator have to be to not of the angry black woman come out if she is aggressive toward the vice president and wanting to respond directly to things she might think are false or claims that he has that she thinks are true? >> i agree that having seen her for a dozen years in different spaces at different times, i am confident that she can calibrate and walk the balance of what is needed for a moment like this. but i also want underscore and point, being that this is an important moment, but it is an important moment that is defined by trump and pence's mismanagement of the pandemic. i think that's really important to keep front and center. and i think she will be able to walk the balance. because it is g

>> i thought mike pence had a nice night. the trump/pence ticket has not had a lot of good news lately, so mike pence delivered what felt like some relief to the republicans last night. i was watching the debate and i was wondering, is this going to be the first of a few debates we see between kamala harris and mike pence. both have debated, but both obviously have aspirations beyond this particular cycle and maybe we'll see them on the stage together in the future. i thought mike pence had a nice moment when he was talking about civility and talking about rbg and scalia and how that as americans, we can have arguments and disagreements and come together when those are over. i thought that was a nice moment. and when he was doing cyru coronavirus, i was expecting a lot more details, because of pence's hands-on role with the coronavirus. but one thing he did that i liked, and this is something the president has not done very well, is directly acknowledging the sacrifice of the american people, where he said, i see you, i hear

and mike pence obviously didn't shake up the race. he had two other goals i think that he probably did okay on. one, keep the debate from becoming all about coronavirus which it wasn't and two, you know, not allowing any wedge to be driven between him and trump. to avoid being put in the position having to contradict in some way the president. you know, the silence of his mind that he doesn't agree with the president, he wasn't able -- he wasn't pinned down on anything where he was forced the defend the president. he allowed light between the two of them. >> you are right. kamala harris only one who hasn't held national office yet up on the stage there. i believe she outperformed expectations and did very well. so, peter, final question. we're now looking at the next debate, donald trump talking about going to that debate. donald trump actually talking about doing a live event when we don't know if the man is still shedding. we still aren't getting a lot of straight answers out of the white house. what can you tell us right now about

mike pence had resisted that. possibly because this is not just about safety and the pandemic that also about the politics and the visuals of the night. they will be sitting more than 12 feet apart with plexiglass screens separating them. the 90 minute debate will be watched by tens of millions of people across america and debate, the visual reminding as it is taking place in a global pandemic, more that has killed more than 200,000 americans and, of course, one of the people, mike pence has been leading the task was leading the response by america. that will take upa the response by america. that will take up a lot of the content will take up a lot of the co nte nt of will take up a lot of the content of the debate as well this evening. people will not have forgotten last week's debate, the battle of the old white man and a very ugly business it was. they have certain things in common but these two are from absolutely different universes? you could not get to more polar opposite on the same stage. kamala harris,

well there you see it the stage where comma harris and vice president mike pence will be having their vice presidential debate any moment now they'll be the 1st and the only vice presidential debate we know of that the moderator will be susan page who is the washington bureau chief of usa to.

it's joe whelmingly mike pence. -- it's overwhelmingly mike pence. jesse: it probably had a lot to do with attitude. >> i need to correct myself. it's kamala harris. and to hear my own voice say that. but regardless if i pronounce her name incorrectly. voters were upset that with the smirking and the reaction. they want a presidential -- a vice presidential candidate to say what they mean and mean what they say, to answer the questions. they felt mike pence did a much better job at responding to what the questions were. they were not happy he went over his time. but they thought he was vice presidential. they thought he got to the point. they thought he was measured in his presentation. for her they were annoyed she did not answer the question about the supreme court. in fact that's an issue that is still has never been cleared up. what will the democrats do in terms of packing the court? they alouded the vice president fopresident -- they applauded te vice president for pressing for an answer. jesse: real quick, any advice from president trump when

those are things mike pence will get in there. >> dana: mike pence has the opportunity to draw a contrast tomorrow. the incumbent wants the election to be a choice between two people and not a referendum. mike pence has an opportunity to that. >> bill: we cover this every minute of our breathing lives. 28 days away from an election, there is so little discussion on the issues. if we move the conversation to issues and records, because there is plenty on both sides. kamala harris has a record and so does mike pence. they both have hard-core approximations on the issues of the day. how come we haven't gotten there? >> dana: her position on issues may not be the same for joe biden at the top of the ticket. steve cortez from the trump campaign said this about kamala harris's record. >> kamala harris according to an independent organization for the year 2019, she was the most liberal member of the u.s. senate. to the left of elizabeth warren and even bernie sanders. you have a wide distance between these two folks. >> dana: martha, how does she do that? he has a record and points of view and t

mike pence. even after 4 years as the vice president a lot of people are still not familiar with them so this was a chance to kind of reintroduce himself to the public i think to voters is a very skilled debater he's a master of spin. and as we heard there he's also develop. unapologetic you know born again christian and it's easy to forget that what makes trump attractive to a lot of people is that he had mike pence at his side you know special conservatives are watching him might make some republicans feel better about voting for trump a 2nd time around you know just one last as a study dependable middle of the road type of my taking this and you know the challenge for pence is recent polls really show that the gap between biden and trump has been whining right so you know results in a note about polls absolutely absolutely but the race is the it's been fairly steady so far recent polls suggesting the biden could be up as you know by double digits i'm not sure the pens managed to really close t

mike pence delivered on that. he did what donald trump didn't do last week which was to prosecute the case on a number of policy areas where if trump had slowed down a little last week, and not been so overly aggressive, he might have been able to do that. pence delivered on that when he came to taxes, the economy, green new deal, trade deals, the court packing exchange was particularly good. so pence came in and delivered solid exchanges and solid wins on all of these issues about which the republicans want the race to be about. whether this moves massive amounts of voters, i don't know. i tend to view through the audience. conservative seniors who have been moving away from the republican ticket would very much have appreciated pence's performance last night. i'll be watching that cohort of voters very closely. i don't know that to make their final decision. pence gave a strong, mainstream view of what this ticket is about. on the other hand, karen finny. >> yes, sir. >> continue. i will stick to the rules and s

and mike pence is a liar. everything he said was a lie because they have never done anything for african-americans and they never will do anything for african-americans and not only african-americans, but for all poor and the needy, they would not do anything for us. so people need to get their lives together in christ jesus and they need to vote. they need to vote for who they in joe in and i believe biden and kamala harris. that is what i believe in. tell us aabeth, little bit about yourself. , i live in wilmington, north carolina. of know, i've seen a lot things go on here in wilmington, north carolina, as far as racial tension and everything. it has been that way for years. , when i go to rent a house or anything and when people see who i am, the color of my skin, they turned me down. when trump became president, everything turned a different color, you know? but now it is starting to come back since joe harris areamala running. it is starting to come back and they are starting to hire a lot of blacks here

there's no positive tests says mike pence's press secretary. a new investigation by usa today finds donald trump and other white house insiders infected with covid-19 carried the virus across the country in a matter of days potentially exposing hundreds if not thousands of people as they went about their business at least 6,000 attended meetings, rallies and other gatherings with them within a week of the supreme court nomination ceremony in the white house rose garden. more than 120 people came dangerously close to trump and the others during the week the usa today investigation found. donald trump and his white house doctor are refusing to reveal when donald trump last tested negative for covid-19. that means there is no reason to believe that we know when he first tested positive for covid-19. without making any of the information public tonight, donald trump's doctor who has admitted lying publicly about his patient's treatment said the covid infected president can return to public engagements on saturday. a donald trump super spreader even

joining me now, olivia troye, former top aide to vice president mike pence. dr. nahid bhadelia and jason johnson, professor of politics at morgan state university. where to respond? where to respond? where to respond? donald trump said it was a blessing that he caught covid. here's joe biden's response. >> i think it's a tragedy. the president deals with covid like it is something not to worry about. when already 210,000 people have died. i think it's -- i think it's a travesty. >> you know, olivia troye, you were an aide to vice president mike pence, who is the head of the coronavirus task force. he has to defend this, whatever we're calling this -- this parade of weird that's coming out of the white house in tonight's debate. can you give us some sort of an inside view as to what goes on in this white house in terms of the relationship between donald trump and staff? is there anyone, you know, from what you saw -- and i know you worked for pence and not trump directly -- that could possibly talk him down, roid rage or not, into just continuing to openly spread

outclassed by mike pence in every way. he pressed her very courteously on important issues such as was she going to stack the supreme court and just like joe biden refused to answer on fracking, she and joe biden are on record several times saying that they would abolish fracking. abolish oil and gas, etc., coal. and the green new deal is all about that. and yet she was all over the place. she denied it. she didn't give any detail to her denial. so i think the overall impression is this is a very radical agenda being run by two people who don't really know what they are doing. mike pence managed to do that in 90 minutes. i think he should be more on the stage and given the opportunity to tell the american people that this is what they're facing. >> sandra: so many more moments from that debate stage to dig into. we'll do that throughout the hour. great to have you this morning, miranda. thank you. >> trace: this just in. another apparent coronavirus case at the white house. a top security official has been hospitalized sin

mike pence is ahead the task force. kamala harris comes at him with those things and what does he say? >> well, and i have not discussed this part with mike pence. this is off the top of my head. what i would say is, well, you are the one that called us xenophobic for wanting to shut down's china's entry. you are the one that wants open borders so people can just flow into this country with diseases and human trafficking and drugs. there is plenty to come back. mike pence has been on the front line of trying to help the covid virus. he knows that he has been with the experts daily. he has done a great job and hopefully we are going to have a vaccine soon. he can talk to all of tha he knl of this firsthand. i think there is a lot of back and forth and back to the president, that's such a great report today when i talked to him monday night he was in great spirits. better today yes it's a horrible, horrible virus and i think vice president pence is prepared to talk about all of that. >> harris: yeah. and you and i both kn

and what do you think mike pence accomplished or didn't last night? >> well, first i'd like to thank you. recognize i'm here because you were unable to book the fly. >> that's true. >> second, like millions of republicans, i woke up wishing that i could vote for the vice president rather than the president. he was simply more disciplined, more methodical, more hinged than the president has ever been in these encounters. and the final thing i think that senator harris, on her first really big stage like this, the first one-on-one nationally televised debate, she was less prepared than i thought she would have been, not on the affordable care act, where she was definitely ready for bear, but in talking about the covid pandemic and the economic crisis that has resulted. the narrative that the vice president laid out on covid sounds very compelling. it is misleading in a number of ways, but senator harris didn't seem to be prepared for the arguments that he was going to make, and he's been making those arguments publicly for quite some time now. so, i thi
