A Religious School in congress don. And it defending reproductive rights demonstrations in poland against the restrictions on abortion. Welcome to the program our top story exactly a week to go of course before the u. S. Election donald trump and joe biden are spending choose a crisscrossing the United States in an intense day of campaigning National Polls are giving democratic contender biden a solid lead but its a lot tighter in some of the battleground states that could decide the election the coronavirus pandemic of course continues to overshadow the campaign infections are surging with some states concerned about the lack of hospital beds nearly half a 1000000 cases of been confirmed in the past week alone with more than 225000 deaths since the pandemic began the progress of a rescue package through congress is also halted with democrats and republicans deadlocked over the details before heading to campaign in michigan trying to criticize former president braca bomb his response to the swine flu outbreak in 2009. Is the worst but there is no idea were. There yet so what is your. Also a white house course when it came to help is of course following everything and its time for closing arguments kimberly President Trump telling his supporters to try and forget about the virus and biden is doing is doing just the opposite. Absolutely right 7 days and counting until the official election day but only hope we have the mail in ballot thing as you point out those numbers have been searching 63000000 americans already casting their ballots now that impersonal voting has begun particularly in even states like her districts Like Washington d. C. This is what donald trump is counting on that his supporters are going to get to the polls in the next 7 days because the early balloting by mail has favored joe biden so far the terms also counting on those states that had typically voted democrat those socalled battleground states when for him in 2016 that that will happen again so hes continuing to focus on the midwest some of those states as well as he continues on the campaign trail but joe biden for his part is focusing on Donald Trumps vulnerability and that is cope with 19 and the fact that the infections in the United States continue to rise. Ministration has yet to offer a single plan thats one of the reasons why the most one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world the new england journal of medicine called the president quote dangerously incompetent went on to say the president turned a crisis into a tragedy im ready to act i know what to do started on day one of my presidency we will do it and weve also had president john lashing out his predecessor brack a bomb hes not happy that hes out on the campaign trail for his rival. No hes not happy and dont trump is lashing out at his predecessor rock obama is lashing out at his successor and so weve got a bit of a unique role for barack obama he is now taking on the role of attacking donald trump on everything from copan to his conduct over the last 4 years and also hes throwing punches and well hes throwing punches as you point out donald trump is punching back weve seen it on twitter weve seen as he was leaving the white house and we expect the battle happen again in his rally that is set to begin in the battleground state of michigan what donald trump has been saying is essentially that joe biden support is so flat in his view and his crowd size so small that hes had to call in the more charismatic campaigning style of barack obama he points out that he believes those crowds are small in contrast to his old rallies that have he said have as many as 25000 people in attendance but what critics will tell you is that in fact you can get a lot of people to the rally what you need them to do is get to the polls joe biden counting on folks not doing that thanks very much from the white house thank you kimberly so u. S. President donald trump surprise victory of course 4 years ago is partly because he now really won the state of michigan from the democrats if trump is to be reelected in a week he almost certainly have to win that state again and is also likely to need Macomb County from where john hendren reports mccomb county in suburban detroit is auto country its own show home to the reagan democrats who switched parties in 1980 to vote for Ronald Reagan and after voting twice for barack obama it switched again in 2016 do both republican donald trump. Mccomb county which sits between 2 great lakes lake huron and lake erie is scenic patriotic middle class and overwhelmingly white in the last election trump resonated here in 2016 pledged he would not cut Medicare Medicaid or Social Security very different from other republican candidates and i think that combined with a lot of his appeals to white identity politics really i think really appealed to a lot of people in mccomb county trump inspires tributes on land and water and a rare devotion among supporters to the greatest president weve ever had in my lifetime he has made so many promises and hes kept more promises that hes made which has never happened ever as i believe in his policies hes gotten the job done so far hes prolife hes everything i believe in. The 2020 election will test whether hes still popular here despite the coronavirus and an economic collapse has democrat joe bidens Campaign Workers canvassed the county early so i am proud are there are 3 more he leads trump handily in recent polls whats changed is this mask. The epidemic here has been very difficult we have lost over a 1000 people to call the president doesnt have a plan doesnt pretend to have one he wants more people to die joe biden will have a plan that will fix this code so that we can try and get back to normal life what has also changed is a growing political conflict within the state. Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer as aggressive Pandemic Response led armed protesters to force their way into the State Capitol and it led to the arrest of 13 militia members who allegedly planned to kidnap or in trump has been fanning the flames youve got to get your governor to open up your state. For donald trump to win again in 2020 he will almost certainly have to win michigan and to do that he will likely have to win right here john hendren mckown county michigan and in part 3 of a series tearing some of the battleground states in americas midwest john hendren reports from these things stay in the hyatt find out what matters to voters that thats of course on wednesday on aljazeera.
