Accused kidnapper in court. The man suspected of snatching a girl off the street facing a judge. How Police Tracked him down. Serious salary. Howard stern gets real about reports of his 120 million payday. And all the buzz. The newly famous fly that stole the show during last nights debate. Good thursday morning, everyone. We begin with the Vice President ial debate leaving many important questions unanswered. Vice president mike pence and senator Kamala Harris tackled the issues and exchanged attacks but they spent much of the night dodging critical questions. In the meantime, President Trump has released a video claiming the experimental treatment he was given has cured him. The Company Behind that treatment has now requested emergency approval from the fda. It comes as another military leader tests positive raising more concern about the outbreak in washington. Lets begin with the debate. Abcs Andrew Dymburt has all the big moments. Andrew, reporter it was coronavirus that dominated the night, make no mistake bit. Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President mike pence facing off in their first and only Vice President ial debate. Its a privilege to be on the stage with you. Reporter they avoided personal attacks while being mostly cordial. He will not raise taxes on anybody that makes less than 400,000 a year. He said he will repeal mr. Vice president , im speaking. Reporter harris and pence separated by plexiglass sparred over the trump administrations handling of the coronavirus. They knew and they covered it up. The president said it was a hoax. President trump did what no other american president has ever done, he suspended all travel from china, the second largest economy in the world. Now, senator, joe biden opposed that decision. Whatever the Vice President is claiming the administration has done clearly it hasnt worked. When youre looking at over 210,000 dead bodies in our country. Reporter the moderator pressing the Vice President , the head of the Coronavirus Task force, about what appears to have been a superspreader event at the white house. Many of the people who were at that event, susan, actually were tested for coronavirus and it was an outdoor event which all of our scientists regularly and routinely advise. Reporter the topic later turning to bource with Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barretts confirmation hearing only days away. Im prolife. I dont apologize for it. And this is another one of those cases where theres such a dramatic contrast. I will always fight for a womans right to make a decision about her own body. It should be her decision and not of that donald trump and the Vice President michael pence. Reporter new polls show the president losing ground in several key states. Abcs tom llamas breaks down the numbers. Joe biden is still lead ago cording to these polls. In pennsylvanith carolina and arizona, joe biden has increased his lead by one percentage point. You may be at home saying one , . Thats incredibly important. When you look at states like michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania, the president won by less than a percentage point. So what happened in florida, joe biden since the last debate has increased his lead by two percentage point, in fact a poll just out today shows independents breaking for joe biden by 20 points. Thats pretty big news if that sticks. Reporter back at the debate pence argued a Biden Administration would be a disaster for the economy while harris claimed the trump administrations policies are more harmful to most american families. Joe biden says democracy is on the ballot. Make no mistake bit, susan, the american economy, the american comeback is on the ballot. Joe biden believes you measure the health and the strength of americas economy based on the health and the strength of the American Worker and the american family. Reporter another big moment was when mike pence attacked joe biden for his handling of the swine flu. Back in 2009, that was during the Obama Administration when 60 million americans were infected compared to 7. 5 million for the coronavirus now and while Fact Checkers were quick to point out while those numbers may be correct the coronavirus has been far deadlier. Andrew dymburt, thank you. Who won the debate . We asked rick klein for his takeaways from last night. Kenneth and mona, a much tamer debate than eight days ago but no fewer disagreements between the Vice President ial candidates on taxes, health care and particularly on the question of covid19. You saw real tangible differences stripped down of the namecalling and the Big Personality and the big bluster, you just had two candidates who had diametrically opposed views of what is happening in the country right now and what might happen in the country going forward. I was also struck by some of the questions not answered. Mike pence not answering what hed like to see in terms of abortion laws if roe v. Wade is overturned. Kamala harris not talking about whether she thinks there should be more justices on the Supreme Court. Neither candidate wanting to talk about what provisions should be in place in case a president becomes incapacitated. Those are all vital questions and you can tell how sensitive they were by virtue of the fact that the candidates didnt want to answer them. Kenneth and mona. All right, rick klein, we appreciate it. And we have much more analysis on abcnews. Com. Now the latest on the coronavirus cases linked to the white house. Abc news confirming new cases overnight just hours after President Trump released this video call his infection a, quote, blessing in disguise. Heres abcs andrea fujii.

And other things too but i think this was the key but they gave me regeneron and it was like unbelievable. I felt good. Reporter the president releasing this video from the white house. I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president because i feel great. I feel like perfect. Reporter trumps chief of staff reassuring the public that the oval office is taking precautions. Weve got safety protocols there that are not only from the ppe standpoint but from a ventilation standpoint. Reporter but the white house now facing unprecedented criticism from the prestigious new england journal of medicine over the administrations handling of the pandemic writing in a scathing editorial that u. S. Leaders have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy. 32 states and territories are now seeing a rise in covid cases. Some areas of the country are now facing new closures and restrictions. Anger erupting in new york city as hundreds of Orthodox Jewish men set fire to face masks protesting a shutdown that takes effect today in neighborhoods where cases are spiking.

A new forecast predicts new england, the new york city area and oregon could see the most concerning rates of infection in the next month. We could have from 300,000 to 400,000 deaths.

More criticism of the white house from the cdcs former director calling the administrations handling of the pandemic a slaughter. The white house responding that every decision at the cdc has been data driven. Kenneth, mona. All right, andrea fujii, thank you. President trump says u. S. Troops in afghanistan should be home by christmas.

We saw mostly peaceful protests also overnight but now new video coming in showing a gas station being looted during the unrest. Overnight in the milwaukee suburb of wauwatosa, the National Guard setting up a perimeter at city hall. Protesters gathered outside. Reports of windows nearby being shattered. The unrest coming after the District Attorney announced no criminal charges against officer Joseph Mensah who shot 17yearold alvin cole outside a mall in february. Police say cole fired a gun at them first but an independent investigation found cole did not fire at officer mensah or any other officer saying he shot himself in the arm while running away from the officers. Overnight they released pictures of the gun and ammo they say cole was carrying. This morning the d. A. Says theres sufficient evidence that officer mensah believed dead deadly force was necessary.

The suspect is a married father who was holding his baby when he was arrested. Police are investigating if there are any other victims. Returning to the coronavirus, theres a new push to fast track the experimental treatment President Trump received. Earlier i spoke with dr. Imran ali. We also discussed a new mask mandate. Lets begin with the president s condition. What does it mean he has detectible igg antibodies . Is he immune now, and what do you make of the video he released last night . Mona, i did look at that video very, very carefully and ive taken care of a lot of patients with shortness of breath. You see hes able to complete his full sentences. So he is not actively having shortness of breath. A source at regeneron tells us its likely that this igg antibodies that are detected are from that cocktail of Monoclonal Antibody given to President Trump early on friday because its too early for the body to mount a natural response. He also had the infection for a couple of days. It usually takes one to three weeks to build your own antibodies. Regeneron is now asking for early approval. Whats your take . An emergency use authorization by the fda will make it more available to patients around the country. But that does not mean it is approved by the fda. Now, eli lilly also has a similar kind of Monoclonal Antibody drug and theyve actually been using this Monoclonal Antibody treatment in Nursing Homes to help prevent the virus from getting into the cells, so this is promising but, again, emergency use authorization doesnt mean its approved. Doesnt mean its effective. We thought europe was out of the woods. Today italy is starting to enforce a nationwide mask mandate, and france just reported a new high in the number of patients in the icu. What do you think is to blame and what can we learn from europe . It looks like we are definitely seeing a second wave. Were seeing in the last 24 hours up to 19,000 new cases just in france alone and germany which was doing really well is also seeing a rise, so we are seeing the pattern on the graph indicative of a second wave, and its quite concerning because we may see that pattern here especially with flu season just around the corner. Our thanks to dr. Ali.
