It is time now to bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press. Hi, chuck. As always thank you for joining us on this Holiday Weekend. Chuck, it is memorial day weekend. More americans are leaving their homes, some even heading to beache barbecues. Some not social distancing. There is still a Public Health threat. How are you seeing americans handling this reopening . Well, i think it depends on how you are watching this. If you watch social media and watch cable television, it looks like were divided almost evenly on this issue. But if you look at some of the cell phone data and Public Opinion polling, the public is much more cautious about going out this weekend than i think the politicians are, particularly the president. He would love to see the economy fully reopened. You can see majorities and polls weve looked at show and, frankly, the cell phone data, people are being a bit more cautious. The majority still think maybe its a bit too soon to open. Look, were going to get the ultimate report card in three weeks from this weekend to see how much the virus did circulate. More people will be hitting the roads. It may be that the public is abiding by some of the health rules better than maybe the politicians realize. Thats a good point depending on where you look. I saw something on twitter like a video from lake of the ozark and it was stunning how many people were in this one pool together. Chuck, we never have enough time with you, so im going to switch gears a little bit. New polls out this week show joe biden having a Comfortable Lead in the general election. We also saw him make some comments earlier this week. He had to walk back about africanamerican voters. How do you see the state of his campaign right now . Well, look, when you look at where he is statistically, hes in a stronger position than any challenger to a sitting incumbent president. At this point in time, in my lifetime, he has a bigger lead over trump than any you look at romney, obama. That was close at this point in time. It was neck and neck with bush kerry. That isnt the case now. A lot of that is a referendum on donald trump. When you look at what happened friday with joe biden, that gaffe, which i think led to a round of hand wringing with younger africanamericans, it was a reminder that biden is a politician thats a bit more 20th century than he is 21st century in how he views race sometimes, a bit too simplistically for the taste of some. It is a reminder to those who argue should biden get out more or not. Some argue stay in the basement, let trump fight trump. Dont get out and let this be trump v. Biden and that performance on friday may give more fodder for those want to go keep biden in the basement. As always well see what happens with that plan. Thanks so much for your time. Be sure to join chuck for this mornings meet the press. He will have an interview with Robert Obrien plus exclusive interviews with Ohio Governor mike dewine. Be sure to tune in at 8 00 a. M. Right after this newscast. We hope you stay right here. Coming up in about 30 minutes from now we will talk to nbc bay area political analyst Larry Gerston for our weekly segment and take a look at why facemasks both literally and figuratively have been added to the growing collection of contentious issues when it comes to the pandemic.

Lad at his property in suburban virginia, where there is the highest rate in the nation. Dr. Birx suggests people be aware and vigilant.
