Democratic hopefuls at a dinner in iowa overnight criticizing President Trump and calling for change. Abcs senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce is in des moines at the iowa state fair with what the candidates are saying and how the president is fighting back. Mary, good morning. Whit, good morning. Here in iowa the candidates are making their pitches to these key voters. But front and center is the debate over the president s rhetoric and what can be done to curb the gun violence. Back in washington the president is signaling he too wants to see gun reforms. Ep overnight the 2020 Democratic Candidates doing a round of political speed dating with iowa voters. Hello iowa democrats. Reporter making their pitches to a packed room. We will not defeat trump unless we have the courage to take on the powerful corporate interests. Reporter and taking on President Trump. There is no National Security when we dont have racial justice, let alone when we have a president coddling white nationalists. Reporter one after another the candidates sounding off against President Trumps rhetoric. Donald trump offers no moral leadership. Lets call this what it is. This is white nationalism. This is white supremacy. Were not going to buy what hes trying to sell. We know dude got to go. Dude got to go. Reporter after the horrific shootings in dayton and el paso the candidates are promising change. We need americans that will stand up with faith in our country, faith in our ideals and come together again and stand together and Work Together and love together and overcome his darkness with our light. Reporter theyre demanding action. We need gun reform in the United States of america and we need it now. People are dying on the streets of this country, getting killed by weapons that were made for battlefields. Reporter back in washington under growing pressure, the president is now publicly calling for stricter background checks. Theres been no president that feels more strongly about the Second Amendment than i do. However, we need meaningful background checks so that sick people dont get guns. Reporter now the president says he can get both the gun lobby and republicans on board with stricter background checks, but that is still a big remaining question. Senate republican leader, Mitch Mcconnell now signaling hes open to considering new legislation. Hes also not calling law makers back to washington to tackle this. Thats a big part of the question. Mary, there is a Gun Safety Forum in iowa today. Many Democratic Candidates are pointing out President Trump has made comments like this before.

Many candidates say theyre not going to hold their breath for the president to enact change. Whit . Mary bruce on the trail in iowa. Thanks so much. Tom . Lets bring in abc news political director rick klein to talk about the race for president. Rick, the race took a turn this week as far as rhetoric is concerned. Some of the democrats elevating their attacks on President Trump calling him a white supremacist. A major escalation to have president ial candidates say that not just the president courts White Supremacists or is loved by white nationalists, but is a white supremacist. We havent seen this thing said about a president ial candidate in decades. Theres a bit of a backlash brewing. Weve seen joe biden and Kamala Harris saying im going to say the words directly. Theyre worried about saying it, but its a harsh label to supply and it may be one that Trump Supporters push back with. There are a lot of trump backers that say im not a white supremacist. Using that kind of language carries risks. Joe biden was making headlines for something he said about poor children and race. The Campaign Said he quickly corrected himself. Mayor de blasio said not so fast. This seems to be a pattern with the Vice President , these slip ups. Thats what you get with joe biden. Its been said about him that his tongue moves faster than his head. Youll hear language from him thats a gaff. Its interesting to see if democrats pick up on it. Like de blasio, do you make this an issue . Weve been out there with biden and other candidates. Doesnt seem like his supporters care. They know what you see is what you get with Vice President biden. They know youll get some things that are slips of the tongue. His standing in this race has been steady. Theres been no shaking his frontrunner status. Our team says his supporters are so fired up at his rallies. Rick, great to have you here. Thank you.

Reporter this isnt the first umbrella incident this year. In june a terrifying close call for this toddler as a gust of wind launches an umbrella in the air narrowly missing the little one. Back in 2015 a bystander capturing this wild scene as winds whip umbrellas across the beach in maryland. The Consumer ProductSafety Commission reports an estimated 2,800 people were treated for beach umbrella related injuries between 2010 and 2018. Some people calling for tougher safety standards. No ones calling for a ban on beach umbrellas. Something is wrong when any Consumer Product can easily take off and kill someone. That little boy was taken to the hospital. He is expected to recover. A scarey thing to remember. Something to remember when youre at the beach. Ill see that at the beach all the time. Its amazing how dangerous that can be. Youve got to dig real deep.

Hes in charge of the try outs. Reporter the former Junior College returner lied to get on the field. Then he proved he belonged there earning a spot on the preseason roster. Now after a great first impression, hes got his sights set on the regular season and a message for anyone with a dream. To everybody out there, keep chasing your dreams and do what you love to do and have a passion for everything you love to do. Dont give up on anything. When asked about sheehys performance the browns coach said its good to see hard working good people succeed. One extra footnote. He forgot his cleats that day and was wearing cleats loaned to him by Odell Beckham junior. Hopefully odell doesnt want those cleats back. Hes an incredible athlete. Did you see it . His vertical was impressive. It was like a 5 foot vertical. The coach said still a long way to go to make the team, if you bet on anybody thats someone with serious grit. For sure. Great story.
