Official calendar election day. More than 91 Million People have already voted. And candidates, both of them, are all over the place today, particularly in battleground states making their final pitch to voters. And its clear the president is playing defense a bit. He is going to be in iowa, michigan, North Carolina, florida, and georgia today. Yes, five states, five events in one day. Vice president pence also headed to North Carolina, as well. But the republicans did win all those states in 2016. Democrats obviously trying to flip three states that bien won. Today joni will e biden will be pennsylvania. Cnn has all the angles covered. Sarah westwood at the white house. As we know, dr. Anthony fauci, the top doctor on the Coronavirus Task force, of course, hes becoming increasingly critical of the white house, and the white house does not seem too pleased about it. Walk us through whats happened the last 24 hours. Reporter yeah. Yesterday dr. Anthony fauci really just unloaded on this white house in an interview with the Washington Post. And it was the most candid that weve seen him whb talking about the pandemic response. In the past hes made veiled criticisms of elements of the pandemic response, but he really took aim at some of the choices that the Trump Administration has made in that interview. I want to read part of what he said, were in for a whole lot of hurt. Its not a good situation. You could not possibly be positioned more poorly. He was, of course, talking about how the white house has positioned itself heading into what could be a deadly winter. Thats something Public Health experts have been warning about for months, and when the cold weather drives people inside, we could see cases spike. Thats happening now. Fauci also took aim at dr. Scott atlas, a medical adviser to the president , but not an Infectious Disease expert. Hes certainly caused some friction on the task force. Fauci said, i have real problems with that guy. Hes a smart guy whos talking about things that i believe he doesnt have any real insight or knowledge or experience in. Unsurprisingly, the white house not happy with this fauci interview. They sort of unleashed on fauci yesterday, and i want to read a statement from jud deer, white house spokesperson. Its unacceptable and breaking with all norms for dr. Fauci, a Senior Member of the president s Coronavirus Task force, and someone who has praised President Trumps actions throughout this pandemic, to choose three days before the election to play politics. Certainly interesting timing to say the least for fauci to choose now to be so candid with the media. Dr. Atlas also responded on twitter firing back at fauci with a series of hash tags, embarrassing himself, notimeforpoliticses. We seeing the pandemic worsening. Listen to Washington Posts josh dossey on how often trump and fauci are engaging. I asked dr. Fauci on the phone would he have spoken to the president. Dr. Fauci said it was only about his own case recently when he was in walter reed, and he had not spoken to the president. Dr. Fauci said on the phone. He does not regularly go to the white house anymore. Reporter we have seen the task force increasingly sidelined, and the publicfacing roles of experts like fauci, like dr. Deborah birx, sort of be minimized as the president has turned the attention to the reelection efforts. The white house highlights the timing. Also the day that we learned that the u. S. Set a new global record for the most new coronavirus cases reported in a single day, 99,321. Sarah, before we let you go, can you explain this tweet from the president yesterday, video appearing to show a caravan of cars and trucks with trump flags surrounding a Biden Harris Campaign bus. Reporter yeah. The president tweeted this video, certainly raised eyebrows. He tweeted it with the headline i love texas. It was a video of his supporters seemingly surrounding a Biden Campaign bus on a highway in texas. This group apparently calls itself the trump train group. Its a group of vehicles that get together, they do these drivebyes with trump flags and paraphernalia. Cnn is reporting about 100 vehicles involved in this incident. That bus was going from san antonio to austin. And it appears they were trying to slow it down or prevent it from getting to its destination. The Trump Campaign has not responded to a request for comment about why the president has seemingly embraced this potentially dangerous behavior from his supporters. Sarah westwood at the white house. Thank you so much. Lets go to cnns jason carroll, following the Biden Campaign from delaware this morning. We know that bidens camp has some things to say about the president s tweet and about the incident itself. What is this side saying . Reporter yeah. A couple of things. Fireman, the Biden Campaign ended up canceling an event in austin, texas, out of abundance of caution. As for reaction, a biden spokesperson tweeted this last night saying for the second time in a week, your campaign has left your supporters stranded in the cold with no transportation at one of your superspreader rallies. Maybe you should spend more time worried about those buses than ours. Of course a reference to the fallout from folks at that trump event in pennsylvania who was stranded after that event and also there was a previous event in omaha, nebraska, where the same thing happened. But on to what matters most to the biden camp at this point and that is securing the blue wall in the midwest. That is what theyre focused on. Focus on states like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, thats why youve seen so much time and energy spent in those states. Yesterday, for example, by enjoined former president barack obama for the first time out on the campaign trail, in michigan making two stops, in flint and detroit, driving home some of the same messages that weve heard throughout the campaign. The president s response on the coronavirus, the importance of getting out there and voting, and of course bidens message of bringing the country together. Ill work as hard for those who dont support me as those who do. And you know what, in this america, in my america, theres no red state or blue state. Its everybody. Thats a job of president , the duty to care, to care for everyone. So for gods sakes, please vote. Go vote. If youve already voted, what do you do . Go get your friends to vote. Get your family to make a plan to vote. We need everybody to turn out. This is a family affair. Joe biden is my brother. I love joe biden. He will be a great president. His song signed, sealed, delivered, im yours, the same song that obama used for his campaign. It worked for him then. Well have to see if it works again for the Biden Campaign now. Biden for his part will be holding two events in philadelphia today. Tomorrow hell be campaigning again in the state of pennsylvania. Again emphasizing the importance of holding this state if theyre going to rebuild the blue wall that they lost in 2016. Christi, victor . Thank you. Were seeing some preparations in cities across the country for what may come after election day. Some businesses are boarding up windows and storefronts, new york and washington were seeing this. I guess theyre anticipating our preparing for vandalism in those areas. Yeah. Jean casarez is in new york right now following this. What are you seeing about the measures that people are being taken and their reasoning for going as far as they seem to be going now with just two days to go . Reporter its very interesting, and a lot of businesses are being boarded up. I mean right here in new york city yesterday we were at macys come is the flagship macys for this country in harold square. They were boarding up the doors. You might remember at the end of may, macys was vandalized here in new york city, as were many other businesses. I can tell you that a lot of businesses have remained boarded up since the end of may here in new york city. But yesterday walking by the empire state building, that was being boarded up. Now the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, is saying the state police are ready, and they are in coordination with and communication with local authorities, other state Law Enforcement authorities, and even federal authorities. And if needed, they will not hesitate to take action, he said. Now its not only new york but washington, d. C. , california, colorado, North Carolina, georgia, missouri, all of these states and im sure others are taking the precaution, Business Owners are boarding up their businesses. Now we spoke with one of the major security firms based here in new york city. Theyre saying that theyre getting so many calls from not only businesses but other types of retail outlets asking them to come and assess, to see if their safety precautions are enough, asking for security, asking them how soon they can get there if they find they need security. And the reasoning they believe that this is so important to these Business Owners is, number one, the election. Number two, its the pandemic, and people have had to stay home, and they just have that urge to get out. And number three, that there may be misinformation. We may not know the winner tuesday night,ed wit ed witwedn thursday, may not know for a while. And the emotions and volatility of the situation could create something where businesses need that protection. All right. Jean casarez, thank you so much for the update. Be sure to watch election day in america, as well, our special coverage starts tuesday at 4 00 p. M. Eastern. Police in North Carolina used pepper spray to break up a march at a polling station. They say that the demonstration turned unsafe and unlawful. Back up. You see some of the moments there that officers began using that pepper spray in this crowd.

Rakuten add this to the controversy subroundsing the president s coronavirus adviser, dr. Scott atlas. An extensive interview are the kremlincontrolled Propaganda Network rt, also noteworthy here it appears he gave the interview via satellite from white house grounds according to the footage aired of the interview. Heres why this is a problem for some people the u. S. Government has said many times that rt is a tool of the russians to spread disinformation and try to undermine democracy in the u. S. Dr. Atlas used that network to slam some respected Public Health experts, criticized joe biden, and some outthere views about covid. During the interview, atlas talked about the crediticism of him and others. Im proud to be an outlier especially when the inliers are wrong. Im not afraid to be a contrarian because i know im right. We should remind you that he is not an epidemiologist. He is not a Public Health specialist. Hes a radiologist. We should also let you know that just in a couple of minutes were talking to a former nsa general counsel about that. A man who served under both president s obama and President Trump.

Since october, its tipped over 1,000 and stayed that way every day. So this new rule change essentially means that travelers outside of those contingency states who have been outside the states for more than 24 hours have to show two negative tests in order to come out of quarantine in new york. With cases surging throughout the country this halloween weekend, new York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced saturday that most travellers to the empire state will now be required to show theyve tested negative for covid19 three days before they arrive and upona, rival.
