You know what donald trump will do with four more years, blame, bully and belittle. You know what joe biden will do, build back better. From the moment President Trump took office he has used his position to benefit himself rather than our country. He has trampled the rule of law trying to weaponize our Justice Department to attack his enemies and protect his friends. Donald trump has divided our country, diminished our greatness and demeaned everything that this statue represents. America, donald trump has quit on you. Sandra team fox coverage.

Yeah, sandra, dr. Jill biden stole the show but not before alexandria ocasiocortez raised some eyebrows reading the nomination for vermont senator Bernie Sanders prompting some to wonder why she wasnt up there endorsing joe biden instead. She clarified later that rules require roll call and nominations for every candidate who passes the threshold and extended her deepest congratulations to biden but her speech did make a nod to progressive policy platforms left behind by the broader Democrat Party including medicare for all and free higher education. In a time when millions of people in the United States are looking for deep Systemic Solutions to our crises of mass evictions, unemployment and lack of healthcare, i second the nomination of senator Bernard Sanders of vermont. The keynote addresses from the former second lady, dr. Jill biden, a big contrast with the dark picture of the nation Michelle Obama last night. Biden showed why joe bidens many brushes with tragedy have given him the resilience to lead the country through the epic crisis and pandemic. She talked about the experience of shaping her life and his and translate to their roles in the white house. She focused on leadership. Never imagined at the age of 26 i would be asking myself how do you make a broken family whole . How do you make a broken family whole . The same way you make a nation whole, with love and understanding. Republican senator offered her support for biden and gave a story of their friendship. Another appeal across the aisle and also an effort to broaden the partys base ahead of the election. Sandra. Sandra Jackie Heinrich kicking things off this morning. Trace President Trump was in two battleground states on tuesday. The president visiting cedar rapids, iowa where he offered federal support for areas hit hard by last weeks destructive storm. Afterward, the president headed to yuma, arizona where he took shots at joe bidens stance on immigration. President trump the biden plan would unleash a flood of illegal immigration like the wormed world has never seen. Bidens plan is the most radical, dangerous and deadly immigration plan ever put forward by a major party candidate. It must be defeated and it will be defeated on november 3rd. Trace the chief White House Correspondent john roberts live on the north lawn. What can you tell us about the president s message on the campaign trail . Good morning. Speaker after speaker hammers President Trump. The president is on the road drawing sharp contrasts with joe biden. First and foremost among them the president is out there crisscrossing the country. The Biden Campaign has a stay at home strategy. Unofficial twitter account Kayleigh Mcenany tweeted President Donald Trump has traveled to four states, 6,596 miles, Sleepy Joe Biden has traversed an undisclosed number of steps through his basement. Were wondering if show got to 6,596 steps in today . In arizona the president picked up another big endorsement from the National Border Patrol Council. The second time it endorsed him. The president slammed joe biden for being soft on illegal immigration. Listen here. President trump joe biden is the puppet of the radical Left Wing Movement that seeks the complete elimination of americas borders and boundaries. They want to take the wall down. They dont want to have borders. They want to have sanctuary cities. Lots of bad things they want following orders from his boss. I guess his new boss is Bernie Sanders. The president trying to get out in front of democratic criticism in cost cutting measures in the post office. He is trying to fix problems at the Postal Service and the fact theyre hemorrhaging money making deliveries for online retailers. Mark meadows said this morning the fact that democrats will vote on an emergency spending bill for the post office this weekend may bode well for getting agreement on a socalled skinny bill of coronavirus relief. Listen to what he said this morning. If she is willing to do that lets add in the things we can agree upon. Perhaps funding for schools, ppp, maybe even the stimulus check, although i dont know we could get an agreement on that. Lets add four or five of those things. I do know i have had a number of conversations with democrats over the last couple of weeks. Those private conversations have gone extremely well and so if thats indicative of what Speaker Pelosi might bring to the floor im encouraged. President trump is off the campaign trail but at 5 00 he will hold a question and answer briefing. That is a sharp contrast with joe biden who hasnt any questions of the media since he nominated Kamala Harris to be his running mate. Trace john roberts live at the white house. John, thank you. Sandra meanwhile police in portland declared another riot overnight after a fire set inside a government building there. Officers using crowd control to break up protests in the downtown area. That has seen nearly 12 straight weeks of unrest. Meanwhile police identifying 25yearold mr. Love as a suspect in the brutal beating of a truck driver caught on camera over the weekend. A warning for viewers. This video is graphic. The driver pulled from his truck and beaten unconscious during a riot sunday night. Investigating trying to locate love and say that they have probable cause for his arrest. Speakers during the first two nights of the Democratic National Convention Stay away from the issue of violence in portland and other u. S. Cities. Lets bring in byron york, do you find that shocking, byron . There was a real disconnect between what is going on in portland and other cities and what you were hearing from the Democratic National convention. Remember, it is not just portland where they have nightly riots. There is portland, seattle, minneapolis, chicago, new york and other cities that have had enormous spikes in Violent Crime just really, really big spikes in Violent Crime and all of them are governed by progressive democrats. And so this is not a point of pride for progressive democrats. In fact, some of these leaders have seemed to side with the forces of disorder against the forces of order in the person of their own police departments. So this is something that you will hear a lot from republicans next week, but apparently not at all from democrats. Sandra we will ask both sides Xochitl Hinojosa h in coming up and Ronna Mcdaniel to also react to that. Drew hernandez is the person who filmed what we have all seen for several days now play out when that man was dragged and beaten in the street. Here he is talking about what he saw and what his takeaway was from it. Ive seen a lot of crazy stuff especially in portland but what i witnessed this particular night literally was in my professional opinion based upon what i saw and what they did from beginning to end in context was literally a borderline execution. Sandra no focus on that by the democrats last night, byron. You are predicting this will come up next week when the Republican Convention is underway. Will it hurt democrats to not acknowledge at least what weve seen so far this week at the convention of what were seeing playing out in our streets . It depends on whether republicans and President Trump can skillfully make use of this. Remember, this disorder in portland was supposed to stop when department of Homeland Security officials, Law Enforcement officials left the city. Remember, they were there to protect the federal courthouse there, which was being attacked on a daily basis and the mayor of portland and the governor of oregon all blamed the federal Law Enforcement for the violence and said if it werent there and if it had not been sent there by President Trump it would end. Well, they left and it hasnt ended. So here again this is something that republicans theyre saying it right now but they will have the spotlight next week during the convention to make that case. Sandra i want to play for you what we did here from a lot of the speakers from the convention. A lot of the focus has been on joe bidens character and him being a good person. Listen. Faced with a president of cowardice joe biden is a man of proven courage. Donald trump has divided our country, diminished our greatness. We need a president with dignity and integrity. A man with a vision to take responsibility not just blame. Joe will restore honesty, decency and trust to the white house. He is a decent, compassionate man. Sandra so you heard a lot of that last night and i cant help but ask you about what we saw and heard from alexandria ocasiocortez in her oneminute delivery she didnt even mention joe biden by name. The New York Post takes it on this morning aoc you joe. She had her moment and didnt say joe bidens name. Remember Bernie Sanders got 1,000 delegates last night. Thats not nothing. There are a lot of people who supported Bernie Sanders in this and she made it clear that she was pushing her agenda, the Green New Deal, enormous taxes, federal spending, she was pushing her agenda to use her 60 plus seconds. She got a few more than that, to do this. So this was another example of the way this split has not fully healed. Four years ago we talked about it as the Bernie Hillary split. Now the bernie biden split. Its still a split. Sandra fair enough. Byron york, what was it you titled your piece this morning in the Washington Examiner . I had it in front of me. The sad telethon night two. One commentator yeah. You know, one commentator called it the sad telethon and last night started with attack and attack. It improved enormously with the arrival of jill biden and a video of joe biden and the enormous loss he suffered when his wife and infant daughter were killed in 1972. He and jill building a life and tragedy striking again in 2015 when his 46yearold son beau died and he got up again. This is a very human story and she told it very well. In her live remarks there was one name you did not hear at all, trump. It was not an attack trump, it was a talk about biden night. Sandra she earned a lot of praise for her moment last night as well. Great of you to be here this morning. Thank you so much. Thank you, sandra. Trace more colleges pulling the plug on inperson learning at covid19 cases spike on campus. Michigan State University and notre dame becoming the latest colleges to suspend inperson classes. Notre dame students returned to classes in south bend, indiana, earlier this month. The surge in cases forced their hand. The objective of these temporary restrictions is to contain the spread of the virus so we can get back to inperson instruction. If these steps are not successful, we will have to send students home. Our Contact Tracing analysis indicates most infections are coming from offcampus gatherings. Students infected at those gatherings pass it on to others who in turn passed the virus on to a further group resulting in the positive cases weve seen. There are nearly 5 1 2 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States with more than 171,000 deaths. Sandra a massive fire erupts at a plant in texas. What investigators believe sparked the inferno, plus this. I support joe biden because beginning on day one he will restore america with leadership and moral authority and a president who knows that america is strongest when, as he has said, we lead both by the power of our example and the example of our power. Sandra former secretary of state colin powell becoming the latest prominent republican to throw his support for joe biden. Is it a concern for the Trump Campaign . Well get reaction from Ronna Mcdaniel to that and night two of the dnc and a preview of next week next. Groovin, and golden. Its about getting more than Health Insurance and a partner who listens and acts. Humana calls it human care. Its talking to a doctor from your couch, or helping you find a cheaper prescription before you ask. Its helping you fix the rugs so you dont fall, and keeping you social, online or off. Its getting to know you, so you can be your healthiest. Thats our superpower. Thats human care. From humana. Trace lets look at live pictures of massive fires burning at an industrial plant in Grand Prairie texas just outside the dallas. It started after a power line fell onto a sheet of plastic overnight. Firefighters believe the fire could burn until tomorrow and warned that the heat could bring down more power lines on surrounding roads. Power company has cut electricity to the area as a precaution there. Well keep you updated on this. So far no injuries have been reported. I support joe biden for the presidency of the United States because those values still define him and we need to restore those values to the white house. Our country needs a commanderinchief who takes care of our troops the same way he would his only family. With joe biden that doesnt need teaching. Sandra colin powell praising joe bidens character last night. Cindy mccain the widow of senator john mccain recalled bidens decades long friendship. Powell joined four other republicans in doing so. Ronna mcdaniel is the rnc chairwoman and here to react this morning. We appreciate it. Does this concern the Trump Campaign . Not at all. Colin powell hasnt been a republican since the early 2,000s. Didnt support our previous nominees. This isnt surprising. This group of never trumpers have left the Republican Party. It is frustrating to see them embrace socialism and a candidate who will raise taxes on 82 of american households. Who is saying lets give free healthcare to people who come here illegally and abandoning the principles of our party, deregulation, cutting taxes, strengthening the military all things that donald trump stands for. Sandra more from cindy mccain and her praise for joe biden last night. Even if a deal seemed out of reach it was always joe who tried to cross the aisle. With a style of legislating and leadership that you dont find much anymore. Sandra that is something that the Republican Party fears may resonate with voters. You know, i think last night was about joe biden of 2004 or 2008. And they arent talking about the joe biden 2020 who has embraced aoc and Bernie Sanders, the joe biden who has said well kill every energy job in this country. The joe biden who is embracing the Green New Deal and last night said well give free Fouryear College to everybody. What does that mean . Your taxes will go through the roof and he will bankrupt this country as he is a bridge to socialism. They arent highlighting the policies he is running on. Theyre talking about what a good guy he is. He is not a good guy raising taxes on 82 of american households. Sandra what do you think about that when you watch were going into night three of the Democratic Convention and there hasnt been a whole lot of policy focus. It has been a lot of attacks on President Trump. I want to put this up here, the latest abc polls showing the Enthusiasm Gap between trump and biden. Do you mainly support trump or mainly oppose biden . Those that support President Trump 74 to those that oppose biden 24 . Those that support joe biden, 41 , those that oppose donald trump 56 . How does that translate to votes for your candidate, ronna . To only have 41 of people supporting their candidate is really dismal. The fact that he is hiding in h
