Thank all of the doctors and scientists because were way ahead of everybody but i want to thank most particularly you because you people come out and you come out and you cheer and you love your country you get it, youre way, way ahead. Many, many people in this country. We have Fox Team Coverage Hillary Vaughn following the Biden Campaign in pennsylvania and first Mark Meredith with more on the plan to return to the campaign trail. Mark. Good evening, President Trump seemed thrilled to have supporters in front of him it was the first time that these people have a chance to see the president directly since he returned from Walter Reed Medical Center to the president had his mask on as he walked out on to the balcony but took it off as he reached podium amid cheers also. The president keeping his distance from the crowd and support qhoars showed up they did not social distance. However, most of those people that were in the crowd they were spotted wearing masks. We want to thank all of you for your prayers. I know youve been praying and i was in that hospital. I was watching down over so many people. And i went out to say hello to those people i took heat for it but ill do it again let me tell you. Ill do it again. This was not listed i should say as a Campaign Event but president sure had a lot to say about 2020 race and Battle Ground states are polls show him trailing joe biden. Getting great polls they understand it is drivings him crazy you know why in kansas it is because of the spirit. Theres a spirit the likes this which country hasnt seen in a very, very long time. For the last few days the President Campaign has been relying on surrogates in high profile names like Vice President mike pence to try to fire up the base but now we know when the president is going to be hitting the campaign trail again that all starts again on monday. Three rally scheduled first one in sanford, florida outside of orlando. Pennsylvania, tuesday, and then iowa wednesday all battleground states. The Trump Campaign says its not choired, though, about polls that do show them behind in some of those contests. Look we saw this four years ago. We saw the polling days say that donald trump is going to lose in a landslide we saw Los Angeles Times say Hillary Clinton was going get 352 electoral votes it is a suppression tactic. Reporter so we know where the president is going to be monday, tuesday, wednesday but what about thursday that was the day that the president and joe biden were set to meet in miami for that second president ial debate. That debate jon as you know has been canceled there will be a another debate at the end of the month. But thats still some time away. So waiting to see what the president may do thursday night. Joe biden is going to be in pennsylvania himself. Jon. Jon Mark Meredith at the white house thanks. Well joe biden making a stop in Battle Ground, pennsylvania, today talking about his plan to build back the economy for working families. But the former Vice President is still dodging questions about his position on packing the Supreme Court. Hillary vaughn is on campaign trail town bury township. In person campaigning in Battle Ground states hes been busy trying to avoid one question. Would he pack the Supreme Court as president . Bide only told reporters in nevada yesterday that voters dont deserve an answer to that until after election day, and he doubled down on that position today in pennsylvania. Fact is only packing is this court is being packed now by the republicans after the vote is already begun. Im going to say focus on it so we dont take eyes off of the ball. We know that the other half of the democratic ticket senator Kamala Harris would least be open to the idea she told politico this in the spring. We are on the verge of a crisis of confidence in the Supreme Court. We have to take this challenge headon, and everything is on the table to do that. This is bidens 11th visit to pennsylvania since june but first time to erie, pennsylvania. This is a county that Hillary Clinton locked in 2016 after she never showed up to campaign in erie. But biden is not making the same mistake he says hes confident being on campaign trail today because he tested negative for covid he think he is president should a also have to do the sae and biden had clear instructions for voters here in pennsylvania while several lawsuits have been filed in court over many issues related to voting in november. From ballot boxes to signature checks, to when votes can be counted. If you requested a mailin ballot return it as soon as possible. Make sure you seal it first. And the secrecy envelope and then sign declaration on the outside of the envelope before you return it. Jon, biden has had a public position on Court Packing. At least a year and a half ago he was in iowa campaigning in july, and he said he did not support packing the court at the time. Saying, quote, he would rue the day if that manned. Jon. Jon that was then now hes not saying anything. Hillary vaughn, hillary thank you. Questions remain about whether President Trump is contagious as he prepares to return after testing positive for coronavirus and doctor marty professor of john hopkins university, and also a fox news contradict tore doctor thank you for joining us. So there are lots of complaints primarily from the president s political detractors about him going back out on the campaign trail they say he should be still in quarantine is there medical Science Behind that . Or is this just a test tube . Well certainly the president just speaking strictly as a patient meets cdc guidelines for being able to get out there again. If he is ten days post the onset of symptoms and today is day ten from the onset of his symptomsao symptoms and cdc guidelines specifically say 24 hours without a fever or on some fever suppressing medication. If you want to really confirm that, you get another set of test and those tests reportedly are being done and doctors would like to see two negative tests so we believe that hes certainly meets criteria at this point for being able to be out there again. So you think he is, you know, hes not endangering anybody i guess . By going out and campaigning . Well, not being to what is most recent test show i would say if he were my patient we would do not another test after hes asymptomatic after the ten days after onset of symptom os so if he were my patient i would be comfortable with him being out there at the same time we tell everybody to abide by basic mask and distancing protocols even if they believe theyre immune. The president has on several occasions promised a vaccine before election day. Where do we stand on that . Well this is really interesting, jon. You know, we may have got and a report out on the vaccines from the Drug Companies before election day. But the fda a group of people at the fda and particular decided to add an eightweek additional requirement to any phase three Clinical Trial they did this six weeks before election day. So you can go do the math. Six weeks before the election, they added an eight week requirement to any ongoing vaccine trial. So that Means Companies which normally would report the results independent of the fda approving or considering something, they now have to wait until after election day. And so i think well likely get that announcement shortly after the election. To me that sounds a little fish you but maybe youll tell me that is good science. Is there a way to know . A lot of people are sod p saying this added requirement is politically charged, in fact, the individuals at the fda who prpgzed this proposed this new argument was to win confidence and suggested between lines they dont want a vaccine to be reported out before election day because theyre concerned about Public Confidence and in a interview with dr. Siegel acknowledged that that was the reason for it. I think, its already been set up. Weve had the same protocol for evaluating vaccines in approving them for decades it is odd that the rules were suddenly changed six week before the election with this new eightweek requirement but thats what happened. Jon there was so much concern when the president was first diagnosed. Hes a 74yearold man, he meets some of the parameters of somebody who could really suffer terribly under covid. Yet he seemed to bounce back pretty quickly. Is that because of the drug therapy it is that he took or his General Health what is it . Its hard to know. You know we often talk about anecdotal experience somebody has a minor bout and feel theyre indestructible or feel that coronavirus is not threatening to other people thats really that experience. It may have been that he had a quick recovery independent of the medicationings. But the medications he receive ready pretty remarkable. If you think about receiving polyclonal antibodies youre through an intravenous having with a manufactured in laboratory those are manufactured in the lab and hes really one of about 20 individuals who has received it off protocol to get this intact immune system so many of us believe that the combination of remdesivir dexamethasone and antibodies is really a winning combination that is a near cure. Not a complete cure but a near cure for the infection at the same time, we want people to continue to take precautions until this three drug combination can be formally studied. As youve told me in the past we have learned an awful lot since this terrible virus hit this country early in the spring. Doctor mccarey thanks. Marty. President trump will speak to Maria Bartiromo tomorrow on sunday morning futures thats 10 a. M. Eastern right here on fox news channel. Jon well one step forward two steps back the u. S.

New details are emerging about a disturbing plot to kidnap michigan governor Gretchen Witmer that includes report on the suspect worked on their plan for months in a basement of a vacuum store in grand rapid. Christina coleman is in los angeles with an update for us. Christina. Hi jon yeah Authorities Say earlier this year the fbi became aware of social media post involving a few of the suspects that called for a violent overthrow of government and Law Enforcement. Despite the violence directed her way governor witmer has been out and active speaking with constituents and placing some of the blame on President Trump. I think that the president has given to hate organizations and domestic terror organizations. We need leadership who steps up and takes time either coming out of the white house who needed state health as well. However, President Trump says hes against any extreme violence and on thursday he tweeted that governor witmer isnt giving enough credit to federal Law Enforcement for taking action. Saying in part, quote, rather than say thank you she calls me a white supremacist while biden and democrats refuse to condemn antifa lootsers and mob that burn down democrat run cities six of the seven suspects charged by state of michigan have been arraigned under domestic terrorism and Weapon Charges for targeting police and seeking to insight a civil war. One is facing extra addition from South Carolina and six others are facing federal charges. Some of the men now charged with domestic terrorism for plotting to kidnap the governor rallying at michigan capitol against her coronavirus lockdown orders back in the spring. According to the state attorney generals office, the six charge and federal court could end up serving life sentence if convicted. Jon. Jon christina coleman, christina, thank you.

Senators will begin grilling the judge on tuesday. Meantime a republican on the committee is pushing for members to get tested for coronavirus before proceedings get underway. Alex hogan is in new york city live with more for us. Alex. Reporter hi jon all of this will begin on monday as you mentioned. But there is debate over testing demanding. Now joni urst saying doesnt enjoy being tested she thinks it is a good idea in close proximity working for long hours. Democrat senators asked chairman senator Lindsey Graham to push off the appointment because of the pandemic calling otherwise blind and reckless. Chuck schumer tweeting Lindsey Graham is so anxious to confirm a justice to take away your health care, that he doesnt even have time to stop to take a covid test. New cases of covid19 within the committee sparking some concern. Senator mike lee of utah and senator thom tillis of North Carolina contracted the coronavirus but not everyone says theyre willing to get tested. Like iowa senator Chuck Grassley last week or graham before his Senate Debate last night. Some republicans calling the demand a political distraction. Throwing every road block there is and Chuck Schumer saying he wants to see everybody tested before they come into in the Capitol Building theyre trying to knock off votes. 48yearold Amy Coney Barrett is a 7th Circuit Court of appeals judge and former professor but personal ties to a conservative religious group prompting pushback faith group people of praise says husbands are the head of the household and firmly opposes the right to abortion. A new report found that barrett did not include some information for the Senate Judiciary committee questionnaire. The nominee responded yesterday sharing the paperwork the statement included a paid ad where she and her husband denounced roe v.
