Tonight, the Postal Service is warning states nationwide it may not be able to handle the expected flood of mailin ballots this november, suggesting all of the votes in this years president ial election might not be delivered in time to be counted. Today, President Trump again threatened to withhold federal funding even members of his own party say is desperately needed by a Postal Service stretched to the limit. And even as the president continues to falsely insist mailin voting will lead to widespread fraud, today we learned he requested his own absentee ballot from florida earlier this week. Tonight, in a rare interview, former president barack obama is accusing President Trump of, in his words, suppressing the vote instead of suppressing the virus. As we come on the air, that virus continues to take a devastating toll on american lives. The c. D. C. Is now warning more than 30,000 more people could die in the u. S. Before labor day, while in texas the death toll is closing in on 10,000. And in georgia, the White House Task force is raising red flags saying that states efforts to stop the spread arent working, and it should make masks mandatory. Tonight, there are nearly 5. 3 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the u. S. As the death toll climbs towards 170,000. Theres a lot of news to get to tonight, and we have a team of correspondents standing by to cover it all. Cbs weijia jiang leads us off tonight outside a post office in new jersey. Weijia. Reporter margaret, tonight, the heada unat presenostal tes cbs news that there is an assault on the u. S. Postal service being led by President Trump. He says the president is undermining vote by mail to keep people away from the ballot box. Tonight, the Postal Service is warning states that theres a significant risk that some ballots will not be returned by ncerintytime to be cou over how post offices across the country will handle a crush of mailin ballots as more voters opt to stay home during a pandemic. Democrats want to give the process more federal funding in a Coronavirus Relief deal, but on thursday, mr. Trump said he opposed it, claiming mailin voting leads to election fraud. If we dont make a deal, that means they dont get the money. That means they cant have universal mailin voting. Reporter former president barack obama responded in a podcast interview. What weve never seen before is a president say, im going to try to actively kneecap the Postal Service to encourage voting. Reporter President Trump seemed to walk back his remarks today, saying he would sign an agreement with mailin voting money in exchange for republican priorities. I would certainly do that, sure. I would do that. Reporter democrats also claim the new postmaster general, a major trump donor, made big changes to operations to sabotage mailin voting. Cbs news has learned the Postal Services Inspector General has opened an investigation. Before arriving in new jersey for the weekend, President Trump stopped at a new york City Hospital to visit his younger brother whom he opened up about earlier. Hes in the hospital right now. And hopefully hell be all right, but hes hes pretty hes having a hard time. Reporter here in new jersey today, the governor announced that all registered voters will automatically receive a ballot in the mail, but theyll have the option of voting in person if they prefer.

The president s Covid Task Force says the virus is spreading way too quickly in georgia and warns bars and restaurants should close in some counties. But tonight, its not clear if state officials will heed that advice. Heres cbs Manuel Bojorquez. Reporter georgias efforts to fight the virus are not having a sufficient impact, according to the White House Coronavirus task force. In a report obtained by cbs news dated august 9, the task force strongly recommended a statewide mask mandate. Governor brian kemp has not publicly addressed the report and refuses to enact a mask order. Im confident georgians dont need a mandate to do the right thing. Reporter but dr. Anthony fauci pushed for everyone to mask up. Absolutely we should have universal wearing of masks. Myself, personally, i would say everybody should have to use it. Reporter the debate comes as more schools are set to reopen, despite more than 2,000 students and staff having to quarantine nationwide due to positive cases in schools where students recently returned to class. In florida, a judge allowed a lawsuit seeking to delay in Person Instruction to proceed, but it will be heard next week, when some schools are already back. Today, the state decided to allow High School Football to start at the end of the month. In arizona, mark degrow, a chemistry teacher with a four decadelong career handed in his resignation when his School District near phoenix chose to olstart inperson teaching. You have 33 students in a classroom for 50 minutes, and you do that five times a day. Its its not safe. Of reporter so 41 years of teaching, and this is what, unfortunately, makes you end this career . Yeah. In my Science Department of 11, six of us are resigning. Reporter but if this was still a virtualonly environment, you would still be there. Oh, all of us would. Reporter today, california topped 600,000 confirmed cases, the most of any state since the pandemic began. As positivity rates remain above the recommended levels for reopening across much of the country, dr. Fauci again warned against reopening too quickly. In your understandable zeal to quickly get back to normal and revive the economy, you can do it if you do it in a measured, prudent way. To think that you can ignore the biological, its just not going to happen. Reporter looking ahead to a possible vaccine, the c. D. C. Has reportedly reached out to four states, including florida, as well as the city of philadelphia, to begin drafting plans on how they would store and distribute a vaccine, including who gets priority.

In western colorado, a stretch of interstate 70 could remain closed for several more days. A fire there was sparked by lightning two weeks ago. Since joe biden named senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, false claims about her eligibility to be on that ticket have surfaced. Harris was born in oakland, california. She is an american citizen. Cbs ed okeefe is setting that record straight. Ready, set, go. Reporter at an eventgse jobe democric kgns new constitutional conspiracy. Senator what, do you make of President Trump and the republicans attacks on you . Im signing this because i am in this race to win and with that guy right there. Reporter the president and his campaign are now publicly stoking a false and racist theory circulating among his supporters, that harris is ineligible to run for vice president. I heard it today that she doesnt meet the requirements. Reporter years of settled law say otherwise. Harris parents immigrated from jamaica and india, and werent citizens when she was born in the united states. Experts say her birth in oakland, california, makes her a naturalborn citizen, which the constitution requires for the president. Mr. Trump, who says he opposes the idea of birth right citizenship, has done this before to barack obama. Why doesnt he show his birth certificate . Reporter on cbs this morning his soninlaw did little to clarify the president s position. He just said he had no idea whether thats right or wrong. I dont see that as promoting it look at the end of the day its. Ephes alified i per to believe shes not. Reporter today, the r running. Said he had no issue none with a woman of color running.

Heres cbs errol barnett. Reporter one week after george floyd was killed in police custody, one of the former officers charged in his death gave this voluntary interview to investigators. Im not going to run, man reporter officer tou thao says after floyd resisted being placed into a police vehicle, seen here on thaos newly released body camera footage, high suggested restraining him on the ground.

Tonight, nearly seven months since the first covid case was id case was the u. S. , there is still confusion over which protective face masks best prevent the virus from spreading. New guidance suggests that certain face coverings could be less protective than wearing no mask at all. Heres cbs kris van cleave. Reporter tonight, clear evidence not all masks work the same and some may not work at all. Dramatic highspeed video from researchers at australias university of New South Wales shows the difference two layers of cloth makes on a mask when someone sneezes. A separate Duke University study looked at 14 kinds of masks. The n95 performed the best. A surgical mask worked well, but bandannas were not effective and some socalled neck gaiters may not offer any protection. I guess ill have to double up now. Reporter now, the c. D. C. Is urging people to avoid masks with oneway valves or vents because unfiltered droplets could be exhaled, possibly allowing the wearer to transmit coronavirus. It should fit snugly against your face with no gaps. The fabric should be densely woven. So that if you hold it up to the light, you dont see any light through it. Reporter stores in alameda county, california, have already banned masks with vents. On wednesday, American Airlines joined a growing list of u. S. Carriers banning them. Southwest is also prohibiting bandannas and other face coverings not secured under the chin. C. E. O. Gary kelly. Why is it so hard to get a mask policy that doesnt change every two weeks . Thats a great question. I think theres an evolution in the learning about how effective the masks are. You know, as we learn new information and get new information from the c. D. C. , were updating our policies. Reporter our crew is a safe distance away so im going to take my mask off to show you why the c. D. C. Doesnt like masks his nthis n95. Its a construction mask with a vent. When i blow into it, watch the filter . See how it moves .
