Hello, rochester. Reporter President Trump hammered the states democratic governor for limiting his rally to just 250 supporters following covid outbreaks tied to two previous rallies held there. There are at least 25,000 people who wanted to be here tonight. They were here for a long time. They waited and waited. And then the governor did bad things. Reporter with covid raging in every swing state he hit friday, the president still tried to downplay the virus. Its a pandemic, and you are doing good. Reporter but in michigan, a state he carried in 2016, and now trails biden by eight points, covid hospitalizations are up96 since october 1st. Its always cases are up and people go crazy, you know. No, its you live with it, and you have and you know what to do. We understand it now. You have to understand it. But were making that beautiful turn. Reporter mr. Trump tried to undermine confidence in the death toll by falsely suggesting doctors intentionally overreport covid deaths. You know, our doctors get more money if somebody dies from covid. Thats true. Its like 2,000 more. So you get more money. Reporter the president s rally in green bay was criticized by the local Hospital System which warned it was a bad idea given the city has one of the highest infection rates in the nation. No, i dont at all. And theyre outdoor rallies. Theyre all outdoor. The president s attempts to downplay the virus are undermined by evidence from the cdc.

Paula, thank you. Team biden is trying to solidify its standing or take the lead in a number of midwestern states. The former Vice President made stops in wisconsin, minnesota and iowa on friday. Hes been hammering President Trump over his handling of the coronavirus. Ed okeefe is here in new york with the latest. Ed, good morning. Good morning, jeff. Today biden is reuniting with an important sidekick, former president obama will join him for events in flint and detroit as democrats try to snatch back michigan, a state they lost four years ago. But it was bidens stop in iowa that was perhaped most interesting. Democrats are trying to turn the Hawkeye State from red to blue. With President Trump defending states he won on friday, joe biden went on offense in iowa, a state now in play after the president won it easily in 2016. Folks, we can do this. Theres nothing beyond our capacity. It was a far cry from february when he lost badly in the iowa caucus. Now hes within striking distance of winning the Hawkeye State as they have coronavirus cases on the rise. The held a socially distanced drivein rally. Here at the fairgrounds, the iowa state fair canceled for the First Time Since world war ii. And donald trump has given up. Reporter biden also dueled with the president in next door minnesota where he leads by nine with just three days to go. A longtime democratic state, biden was asked why he needed to schedule a stop there. I dont take anything for granted. Were going to work for every single vote up to the last minute. Reporter attention is turning south to texas, a state considered battleground territory amid a record surge of voting. More than 9 million texans have voted early. Thats more than the total number of voters in the 2016 race. Some show it could be close in reliably red texas and that brought Kamala Harris to the Lone Star State on friday. You have power and at election time, that power will be through your vote. Reporter but there may be trouble brewing for biden in florida amid reports that democrats are failing to turn out supporters in miamidade county. An area where Hillary Clinton dominated four years ago, even if she narrowly lost the state. The Biden Campaign says the pandemic kept them from doing most traditional outreach in florida so other groups are stepping in like the unite here labor union. First we started calling people over the phone. And by the first week of this month we started knocking on doors to get people out there to vote. Were trying our best. Ed is back with us for more on the state of the race. You were just focusing on florida. Weve talked about a lot state ofs. Three days to go in the campaign. Give us an idea of where the campaigns will be focusing. At this point with fewer than 72 hours to go its not what they are saying, its where they are going. If you look at the next three days, the state getting the most attention is pennsylvania. The president s holding four events there today. Tomorrow, biden gives a speech in philadelphia, and then on monday, the entire biden harris ticket, the two candidates and their spouses will barnstorm the keystone state running from end to end trying to take back that state. Another one of those Big Industrial states democrats know they need to win back. Biden emotionally invested in the state. He was born there. In the senate, often called pennsylvanias third senator because hes from neighboring delaware, and hes spent more time in that state than any other believing hes the kind of democrat that can win it back. But the president holding several rallies, 14 over three days in 7 states. Pennsylvania, though, getting the most attention from both sides. You said it right there. Is there anything that President Trump or, for that matter, Vice President joe biden can say in these remaining days that can influence voters . Well, republicans would like the president to keep focused on the economy. They got some encouraging news late in the week with the record gdp growth. The best quarterly growth rate since world war ii as were trying to claw our way out of the pandemic recession. Probably not enough just yet but an encouraging sign. Of course, the president doesnt necessarily stay on message. Talks about those minor grievances that he has with all sorts of people and then made these interesting comments suggesting that doctors are profiting off the deaths of coronavirus patients. Something that biden hit him for yesterday in his later stops. For the biden team it is basically all about the pandemic. Raised concerns about the president s management of it. Vow to try to do a better job of handling the crisis and getting the economy back on track. Well see whether the president can stick to his message but he is certainly going down or going down to the wire, we should say, in the final days here. Doing what he does best. Holding those rallies and bringing out his supporters in hopes they head to the polls by tuesday. Tons of early voting which is a good sign for democrats. Does this then now come down to republican turnout on election day . Yeah. So we have seen record early voting which means that people are heeding the warnings and suggestions they should try to get this done sooner than election day in the event the lines are too long. There are only about 20 states that give us the partisan breakdown of who cast a ballot by mail or in person so far. That does favor democrats. That matches the polling weve been doing for months that suggested more democrats than republicans would do it early. But that doesnt mean that democrats are going to win. Remember, the only piece of math that matters is who won after all the votes have been counted. We have to wait until election day. When we anticipate in many of the biggest states that a lot of republicans will show up as they normally do. And the only poll that counts is election day. Ed, thank you so much. Ed will be a part of our election coverage. Cbs news 2020 america decides. Coverage begins at 7 00 eastern this tuesday night. Well be bringing you all of the results as they come in.

And in 16 states, the number of cases is at an alltime high. All of this as the number of lives lost approaches 230,000. With cold weather moving in and more events shifting inside, Health Experts fear the worst of the pandemic is yet to come. Here to help us make sense of it all is Michael George who has been covering the pandemic. Michael, good morning. Good morning. A second wave is indeed here. Thats how oregons governor put it friday. Some states are doubling down. Others, though, are still resisting stricter safety measures. In the immediate future, theres an election and halloween today only complicating ways to combat the mounting tragedy. A new trick to get a treat in a pandemic may be just a drop in the bucket. Even a socially distanced candy pipe chute still allows costumed kids to face risks if they go out tonight. The plastic masks that go with the costumes. They arent the same as the cloth mask. Advise moms and dads to make a cloth mask that goes with the costumes. And for voters in line to beat the election day rush. It didnt stop one florida polling place from shutting down after covid hit. Overstretched hospitals are telling a much more tragic story. Icu beds are 80 full in nearly a quarter of u. S. Hospitals.
