On friday, he will travel to New Hampshire to hold his First Political rally since the Republican National convention. Al jazeera, the white house. Anchor tell us more about the reaction to his message and who hes going to be targeting on the campaign trail. Reporter yeah. Really, the reaction comes down to a couple of things. Number one, democrats have been criticizing the speech because of the way it was presented. The white house was used for political purposes, which by late federal law. The other big criticism about it is that there was this scorched earth approach. Many suggest it was using fear tactics, employing the fear of violence and rioting if joe biden becomes president. To your question about who this is targeting, the answer really is not the president Space President s base. Its more what we see, trending away from the democrats. We saw a move on the needle when it comes to communities of color, particularly africanamericans. There were a number of white workingclass moms, suburban moms who trended in that direction. This is why the campaign is taking this approach. They are trying to play on fear. They feel this might ignite the concerns of some people in those groups to support, leave the Democrat Party and support donald trump. He will need them. It is those key demographics that he has been losing some support. Anchor one thing we know he likes to talk about, really pays attention to television ratings, audience numbers. How did his acceptance speech fair in contrast to joe biden . Well, its all about the ratings when it comes to President Trump. Hes a television producer. The numbers, not looking as good for donald trump as they are for joe biden. Watchedlion americans joe bidens acceptance speech. 21. 6 million watched donald trump. Its a difference of about 2 million. Thats not something donald trump likes. He went on twitter to rebrand it , saying, great ratings and reviews. They werent quite as good as joe bidens.

Hes also a leading member of the White House Coronavirus task force. I spoke to him who told me hes optimistic there will be a successful vaccine by the end of the year. Even at a steady state, we are having between 35 and 45,000 infections per day. Even if things dont get worse, you have more infections. When you have more infections, you have more deaths. Hopefully, we will be better prepared to do two things. To diminish the number of actual infections. By doing that, to diminish the number of deaths. Weve been hanging around 1000 deaths per day for quite some time. We have to get that number down. Anchor there is this clash between medical advice and economic imperatives. You must be concerned about the premature lifting of lockdowns leading to new outbreaks of the pandemic. Resulting in more infections and sadly, more deaths. Thats really the problem that we faced in the United States. We got hit very badly in the northeastern part of our country, dominated by the new york metropolitan area. At one time, they accounted for close to 50 of all the infections, hospitalizations, and debts. As the northeastern part of the country got under better control , as we tried to open up the country for economic reasons,outhern states such as florida texas, arizona, and california began to have surges that lifted our background from 20,000 cases per day up to as high as 70,000. Now, we are back down to somewhere between 35,000 and 45,000 cases. Is thatern right now there are other regions of the country, particularly the midwest, in which theres inklings of the same problem. As you try to open up the country, if you dont do it in a careful, measured way, it hearing to the guidelines that we mentioned anchor thats the problem. It has not been done in a careful way, has it . In may, the vast majority of u. S. States started reopening their economies without taking the steps that were outlined by the white house. Exactly. Thats the reason why we have to continue to put a lot of emphasis on the messaging of why it is so important, when you do open. We dont believe you need to lock down again. We believe that if you open up in a careful and prudent way, you can open up gradually without having a surge of infections. Anchor President Trump is saying his administration will approve of vaccine by the end of the year, if not sooner. Do you share his optimism . Yes. States,w, in the united we have two candidates that are already in phase three trial. In fact, both of those have accumulated and enrolled as many as half of the projected number of people in the trial. If we get that continuing to go in that direction, by the time we get into the mid fall, it will be accrued enough to get some efficacy standpoints. If we do get that, we believe by the end of the calendar year 2020 or the beginning of 2021, we should know if we have a safe and effective vaccine. We are cautiously optimistic. Anchor does the virus have the capability to mutate so quickly that a vaccine or previous infection wont provide much protection . Well, its a rna virus. It will mutate. Is the have not seen kind of mutations that have had a major functional change in the virus. Thus far, the virus is not indicating to us that it will mutate to avoid the protection of a vaccine. Thats always a possibility. Right now, we have no evidence or indication that that would be the case. Anchor you dont want to get into politics. Theres an election drying close. We are likely to see increasing politics nation of this fire is. Republicans have termed it felt to visit fauci fatigue. Politicsrry about the endangering Public Health if it hasnt done already . Who is, i mean, anyone paying attention and looks at whats going on, not only in the United States but in many places throughout the world, we are living in a very divisive atmosphere politically right now. Thats just a fact of life. Nonetheless, even despite that, we can still get through this outbreak by adhering to the Public Health measures been talking about for some time. Anchor there are many countries around the world that are taking this Public Health measures. Be on the United States, we see numbers continuing to rise, even in places like south korea which had a very efficient response with testing and Contact Tracing for the virus. How worried are you that countries that seemed to be able to contain the virus are now struggling with a resurgence . I mean, thats always a problem. You dont give up on that. You continue to try to open up the economy in a careful, prudent way. You may get successes. You may get some setbacks. You should not be discouraged by the setbacks. Hopefully, as the months go by and we get towards the end of the year, there will be a vaccine available throughout the world, which would make it much easier to combine Public Health to be ableth vaccine to open up the economies in multiple countries throughout the world. Thats what we are hoping for. Better treatments as well as ultimately, a vaccine. For any viral infection, thats always the best way to end a pandemic.
