Right, enthusiasm to defeat him. The headliner this evening is first Lady Michelle obama. What are we expecting her to say . Well, jake, this is a bit of a continuation im told from her 2016 speech. Youll remember of course she was the first lady at the time. And talking about all the attacks that her family withstood and endured. She famously said when they go low, we go high. So i am told she will expound upon that a bit. She is going to say what exactly going high means. She will talk about how getting involved in this summer of protests was so important. I am told she is going to be talking about unity. This is the Third Convention shes spoken before. In 2008 she introduced herself to the country. And then in 2012 as well. 2016, im sorry, this is the fourth convention. But this is the first one she does not have the role of first lady. Shes not running for anything. So i am told by her advisers she plans to have a very tough and personal speech unlike any weve heard from her before. And, jeff, how is Vice President biden preparing to accept the nomination on thursday, the last night of the convention . Well, jake, in a sense he spent his lifetime preparing for this moment. And its one that he didnt necessarily think would come. Of course he first ran for president in the 88th campaign but didnt make it through 87. His First Convention appearance 1980 when people did not know who joe biden was. But i am told he already has been working on his speech. He is going to be essentially putting this moment in history and explaining again why hes running. It is all again, as he has said, again and again, to restore the soul of this nation. So he is presenting himself as someone who can return this country to a sense of normalcy. Jake, hes also presenting himself as something of a bridge. If you look at his life, he of course was part of the obama biden coalition. He literally is that bridge to what he hopes will be the biden kwobiden biden coalition. I am told we will not see him tonight, but we will likely see him at the convention thursday night when he accepts his anonymous right now. Jeff zeleny in wilmington, delaware, thanks so much. Lets discuss this all with Atlanta Mayor keisha lance bottoms. The focus is the democrats say we the people with the focus on the pandemic, the economy, and the racial divide here in the u. S. Polls suggest that a lot of voters are ready to cast their ballots against trump. Do you think joe biden needs to do more to explain what he will do as president other than not be trump . Well, first of all, thank you for having me. I think whats most important going into this week and as we go towards november is to remember the lessons that we learned in 2016. In 2016 Hillary Clinton was up in the polls going into the election and democrats lost. So i think its important that joe biden continue to make the case as to why he is best suited to be president of the United States. Weve heard him say it over the past year. So all he has to do is to continue to be himself. But obviously elevate that message. And as voters, we have to take very seriously this right to vote. John lewis parting words to us in his moving essay was if we dont exercise the right to vote, we will lose it. And what we know is that this country cannot stay on the same course that weve been on for the last four years. Because if we do, we will lose this democracy that we call america. How will we lose the democracy if trump is reelected . Well, what im saying with donald trump is this elevation of this authoritarian reign. The removing of post office boxes so that you can domestically interfere with the election process. Thats not a democracy. Whats happened over the past four years is that hes begun to normalize this type of behavior. And when you see democracys in trouble, its not with one move, its with a series of moves. And this is the most recent move on behalf of donald trump. And its the reason we cant take it for four more years. A new cnn poll finds the race tightening with Vice President biden leading President Trump by just four Percentage Points among registered voters. You talked about polls a second ground in battleground states including your home state of georgia, the race is even tighter in aggregate within those 15 states with biden leading trump by only one point. Thats within the margin of error. What message do democrats need to drive home to draw support away from President Trump and to get people to the polls beyond the idea of hilly led last time and she still lost. How do you get the enthusiasm so that young voters in georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin actually go to the polls . Well, again, i think that as we look at whats going to happen over the next few days with convention, its about unifying our country. And the reflection of this ticket represents who we are as a country. Weve seen the most recent polls that show that with the addition of senator harris to the ticket that already you are seeing more enthusiasm for this election. We know traditional laypeople dont really begin to Pay Attention until after labor day. As we move from the convention and move towards labor day with this Traditional Campaign period, again, everything about 2020 is different than years past. So its going to be important that we continue to push the message. But also in ways that we arent used to having to push messages. There will probably be an elevation in social media. But thats also an opportunity to reach young people in a way and get young people energized and excited about the opportunity to vote and to see some meaningful change in this country. Theyve called out for it in our streets over the past few months. And there is an opportunity to put that into action again by casting a vote in november. Well, lets talk about that because a lot of the voters in the streets who have been talking about black lives matter. Progressives, africanamericans, minorities, young people, these are people who want criminal Justice Reform. Ive heard many progressives criticize both joe biden and senator harris for their past records when it comes to a criminal Justice Reform. Harris specifically as attorney general and district attorney. What do you say to those voters who say, yeah, we want criminal Justice Reform, but kamalas a cop and joe biden wrote the 94 crime bill . Well, what i say is look at the work that weve done in atlanta on criminal Justice Reform over the past several years. And part of the work that we did in atlanta was incorporate it into joe bidens criminal Justice Reform policy. So, what i know is that hes listened. Hes sat down at the table joined by me and other mayors across this country to hear our concerns. And when he began to push out his policies specifically on criminal Justice Reform, he said that to us in atlanta. We had an opportunity to review it and give input based on what we know is working in atlanta. Were closing our jail and getting away from mass incarceration but moving towards a model of Proactive Services available to people in communities. We are transitioning our budget, our corrections budget towards more communitybased models to help with community programming. I share that with you because he got in the same way that he got input from us in atlanta, i know that hes done it with others across the country. And thats why now this policy is a real policy. Youre slated to speak on thursday. Any preview for us on what you plan to say . Well, its going to be a great night. Im speaking, im excited about that. But to hear the Vice President formally accept the nomination is going to be an incredible night across this country. So im honored. I think about the last convention where i ended up getting stuck in the delta lounge overnight. And i never made it to the convention. My flight was canceled. So, four years can make a really big difference. And here i am speaking on thursday night and looking forward to four years of meaningful leadership in this country. Well, youre not going to get stuck in the delta lounge. I dont think youre probably going to be leaving atlanta. Atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms, thank you so much for your time. Best of luck. Break a leg on thursday. We appreciate your time. Thank you. Tonight, hear from former first Lady Michelle obama, Bernie Sanders, Governor Andrew Cuomo and many more. Coverage will begin at 8 00 even this evening. How President Trump may be giving democrats a line of attack. Plus, the emergency approval for a new coronavirus test.

From glen to glen in our politics lead, the president pushing a new unproven and potentially even dangerous Covid Treatment as first reported by axios. Trump is supposedly enthusiastic about the fda approving an extract called oleandrin as a possible treatment for the virus. Theres no proof that this extract has even been tested on coronavirus patients, let alone that its something that could help save them. Reporter President Trump is hitting the road. Well be making a pretty big journey today stopping at a couple of wonderful states. Reporter kicking off his most Ambitious Campaign travel since the end of june with planned stops in four swing states over the next four days, strategic counterprogramming to the Democratic National convention. My message to minnesota is clear. Im here to help you. Reporter the stepped up travel comes as polls showing the race against joe biden tightening. A new cnn poll shows trump closing the gap on the former Vice President to only four points. However, the new cnn poll of polls which takes the average of all recent National Polling shows the president trailing biden by nine points. Trump is shifting his focus to his reelection while concerns over the coronavirus pandemic remain. What do you have to lose . Take it. Reporter the president who still promotes the use of the drug hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of coronavirus, despite warnings from the fda. Hello, im inventor of the worlds most comfortable pillow, my pillow. Reporter is once again considering alternative treatments including the use of oleandrin, an extract of a toxic plant promoted to trump by mike lindell, creator of my pillow and a trump supporter. Is it something that people are talking about very strongly . Well look at it. Were looking at a lot of different things. Reporter meanwhile the Trump Administration is opening the door to drilling for oil in the Arctic National wildlife refuge. This despite concerns from environmental advocates. Anwr is a big deal that Ronald Reagan couldnt get done and nobody could get done. Everybody wanted it. Reporter all of this swirling around the president as he prepares to lay his younger brother to rest. Robert trump died saturday. And President Trump said today theyre considering a Memorial Service at the white house friday to honor his memory. Losing him is not easy. Reporter and the president just left on air force one from here in mankato, this event that took place at this small airport. And every trip the president will take is keyed in on his reelection hopes. The difference between this trip here to minnesota and the trips that hell take the rest of the week. This is a state that President Trump lost in 2016, albeit by a very narrow margin. It is a state where his campaign is on offense. And, jake, he told the crowd here in mankato that if he wins minnesota, he will win the presidency once again. Jake . All right, ryan nobles, thank you so much. Lets bring in cnn chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. Im sorry i even have to ask you about this. But from a medical perspective, what do we know about this supplement . Is there any data at all showing how it might help or even come in contact with the coronavirus . No. Theres really no evidence of this, as you might imagine. Everyones doing their homework trying to figure out where this came from. This is a known plant, as ryan was just talking about, that if you know anything about it, the white oleander was based on the book that this is a toxic plant, can be toxic. There was some laboratory studies, jake, done, again in test tubes putting viruses into a test tube, putting the substances into a test tube and seeing if it inhibits it. And it did seem to create some inhibition to certain types of viruses. Its been tested not in humans but only in monkey kidney cells. So we really just dont know enough about this. This sort of came out of nowhere. And i dont even know what the angle is, if this is something that they want to get fda approval for or sell as a supplement or what. But people need to beware of this one of the weve talked about this before, and i know its going to sound like a broken record. But there are potential real dangers with this. So be careful. Weve said this before. After President Trump mused about injecting disinfectants as a potential treatment for coronavirus, Health Professionals even the makers of lysol had to actually issue warnings dont ingest disinfectant. Are you worried that there could be a serious risk to people who decide to go and find out about this supplement . Absolutely. Theres no question. I actually was surprised at how much of an uptick there was in people actually starting inquiries about lysol and disinfectants and whats the harm in ingesting it. I thought that certainly people would know not to do that. With Something Like this, its a little bit more nuanced because people havent really heard of this substance before. What we do know of this is something that can be toxic. We talked about hydroxychloroquine and what we learned about that is is that if youre taking it as a prophylactic, it may be safe. If you already had this disease covid, it turned out to be a real problem. With this particular substance, we already know that it can have a significant negative impact on the heart, like foxglove, which is another substance out there which is known to cause cardio toxicity. Ive got to say be very, very careful. This is not something i would go out and buy. Yeah, dont listen to the president and dont listen to the my pillow guy. Lets turn to testing of what Admiral Brett Giroir said, giving authorization to a saliva test for coronavirus that could give results in fewer than three hours. How much of a difference could that test make . I think it can make a really big difference here, jake. I mean, clearly, testing has been a problem. It continues to be a problem. I know the admiral doesnt like to hear that, but it is true. We are still not doing nearly enough testing here. Heres why this is potentially better. One of the challenges has been this is a little bit of how the test has done. When you do the swab, youve got to use this particular reagent, then pull the genetic material off the swab. In this case youre using saliva. So that particular reagentwas often in short supply. You dont need that reagentfor this particular test. It still has to go to a lab. Its more easily done as part of pool testing so you can put lots of samples together and then figure out if theyre all negative. So its a big deal. But ill tell you, jake, i still think its an incremental big deal in the sense that ultimately what is this going to look like, widespread available athome testing that you get results back very quickly, more like a pregnancy test than even a test like this. So much better i think if this becomes widely available than what we have now. But the end game i think has to be even better than that. Yeah. We still are not at a point where going into school every kid, every teacher can be tested going into work, every employee can be tested. How much of a difference might a saliva test make versus a nasal swab . Well, what was interesting is that they initially thought that the saliva test, the accuracy and the sensitivity may not be as good as the swab. But these tests have been validated pretty well. This is not the first saliva test. There was another one by a Com
