Attacks on joe biden. But not much about the deadly impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Coming out of the deep pandemic who in their right mind would pick the pockets of taxpayers and drain money from their wallets and purses. Look, our economic choice is very clear. Do you want economic health, prosperity, opportunity and optimism or do you want to turn back to the dark days of stagnation, recession and pessimism . Our economy is roaring back again. But when i hear that joe biden is ready to raise taxes, crush us with regulations, and weaken our International Trade position, i shutter. We simply cannot endure a biden induced recession. Some will struggle. Some will not survive. And working men and women of america will get crushed yet again. Well for a second night the president was seen in several taped appearances including one where he issued a pardon to a convicted bank robber turned Prison Reform advocate. Its not a type video shown during the revenge nor was this. Mr. Trump overseeing a naturalization ceremony at the white house this as he looked to soft enhis image on the issue of immigration. Mr. Trump also popped up in the newly remodelled white house rose garden to watch First Lady Melania Trump deliver an uplifting speech reflects on her immigrant background and her be best initiative. Mrs. Trump was the only speaker to address the coronavirus pandemic and at length. But its interesting to note those attending the speech were not redwieshd tested for the virus, according to one member of the audience. I want to acknowledge the fact that since march our lives have changed drastically. The invisible enemy, covid19 swept across our beautiful country and impacted all of us. My deepest sympathy goes out torch who has lost a loved one and my prayers are with those who are ill or suffering. As first lady i have been fortunate to see the American Dream come true over and over again. I have met many inspiring women, children, parents and families who have overcome life changing issues. As you have heard this evening i dont want to use this precious time attacking the other side, because as we saw last week that kind of talk only serves to divide the country further. First lady may not have wanted to attack democrats but plenty of other speakers did and for a second night republicans pushed dark and divisive messaging to make their case. The fabric of our nation is in peril. Daily the radical left systematically chisels away at the freedoms we cherish. They peddle dangerous ideas. The bidenharris vision for america leaf no room for people of faith. Whether youre a baker, flow reiterate or football coach they will force a choice to being obedient to god or caesar because the radical lefts god is government power. Whats happening to people around this country who refuse to be silenced by the far left. Many being fired, humiliated and threatened. To those who want less taxes join me. Mark preston is a cnn political analyst and joins me now from washington. Good to see you. Good to see you. The second night of the nns was there any evidence at this time an he photo to broaden Donald Trumps appeal. No. If you consider this anything, consider this a rifle shot. They were very focused on who they were delivering a message to. They were trying to deliver their message to their base. They did so. Again, in a very effective way. But not something that would broaden it. Not something that would bring folks who may be on the outside looking in and try to fine a way to support donald trump. Having said that i do think Melania Trump did a fairly good job tonight delivering her remarks and trying to show folks that she supports her husband because thats always that question whether she does or doesnt. All in all they will think its a success but they are not broadening their appeal and they need to do so. You mentioned Melania Trump. She was much more conciliatory than any of the other speakers and she went ahead and mentioned the pandemic and talked to those who had lost victims to this virus. Humanized her husband, right. A lot of people dont think hes capable of showing empathy towards folks. Thats what she tried to do tonight. Whats also interesting is she tried to cut her own path so to speak. She tried to present herself to the american people, talked, of course, about supporting her husband who is running for a second term but also talked about her own thoughts and her own believes which i thought was interesting. If he is so lose in november this could very well be the last real big public appear jeans well see from Melania Trump. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompeos speech sparked controversy and resulted in House Democrats opening up an investigation into his actions. What might the consequences be of that and what all did he have to say . A couple of things. One, very, very strange to have a secretary of state appear at a Political Convention. You will see other cabinet members participate and have done sign the past. We dont normally see the secretary of defense or the secretary of state saying any of these things. Democrats are upset about it. Upset he happened to be in israel which is a very key voting bloc here for folks of jewish descent. So there was a lot of controversy about that. All he said is listen i was over here on official business. And i wanted to speak in my own capacity as a person. So democrats are going to make a lot of hay about it but in the grand skeechl things it will go to the bottom of what matters and that is trying to fix this pandemic, getting a vaccine done and trying to get the World Economy back turned around.

Today the fda commissioner was back peddling his incorrect spin on crucial test data. I personally could have done a better job and should have done a better job at that press conference explaining what the data showed regarding convalescent plasma. Reporter and dr.

We have seen in the last two nights of the rnc an effort to rewrite history when it comes to President Trumps handling of the coronavirus pandemic, painting him as decisive and effective despite the death toll in this country nearing 180,000. Whats your reaction to that and some medical professionals who have come out praising his efforts . We have to let the data speak for itself. Were a country that has not been able to control the epidemic here on our, in our own in our own borders. We have a very high death toll. We have very high infection rates. And i just dont think that anybody looking the at the data can suggest that we as a country or our leadership in this country has done a good job. And scientists are responding to President Trump and his administrations claims about the effectiveness of convalescent plasma in treating covid19 saying they are wrong and misleading including those made by fda chief steven hahn who suddenly approved the emergency use of convalescent plasma on sunday. He came out on tuesday saying criticism of him was entirely justified. What does it say about hahns and the fda credibility . This is a really big problem. We cannot have the fda be subject to politics. The fda is supposed to be reviewing the data and making decisions that are in the interest of our Public Health here. And it was a very clear indication that politics is really leading the day. When you look the at the information that was made available, there was no real basis for the information that dr. Hahn gave.
