Yasmin vossoughian. So, President Trump holding another packed Campaign Rally last night, which some fear could be another superspreader event. This was his third visit to battleground North Carolina in as many weeks. And another example of the president s Reelection Campaign being not compliant with covid guidelines. The event was held outside in another airport hangar. But there was no social distancing paper lot of people defied the mandatory face mask order by removing their masks after gaining entry. Despite the keeping large gatherings to a minimum, the president bragged that his crowd are larger now than they were before the pandemic. Joe biden came here and made a this is not the most convenient place. Its an air force. If he had 200 people i think would be a lot. I really mean it. Did you ever see the gyms with the circles, thats his crowd. If he had 200 people. I was told we had 15,000 people tonight. Were doing mostly hangar thing because were outside. Outside is very much different than being inside. According to the great doctors, right. But they say its very much different. So were doing these, were doing the outdoors, were doing the hangars. But i really believe these crowds are bigger than they were four years ago. Its pretty amazing. So, at his rally last night, the president launched into yet another attack against mailin voting, he accused democrats without any evidence, of course, of sending out unsolicited ballots. And repeated his suggestion that voters should test their States Election system. And, by the way, when they said that there are millions and millions of unsolicited ballots, when you get a ballot, say i wanted to go and vote, darling. I wanted to go and vote, why are they sending me those ballots. Sometimes, youll ask for a ballot. Thats a solicited ballot. Thats okay. You have to go through the process. You have to sign the form, you get it. Sending out millions of unsolicited ballots. Make sure you send the ballot in and go to your polling place and make sure it counts. Make sure it counts. Because the only way they can win is by doing very bad things, thats the only way. So the president also stemmed up his attack on democratic Vice President ial nominee Kamala Harris last night. Take a look. You know what, people dont like her. Nobody likes her, she could never be the first woman president. She could never be. That would be an insult to our country. By the way, you know whos further left than crazy bernie . Kamala. Kamala, kamala. Okay. So, the president also revived his false claim yesterday that mexico is going to pay for the border wall. He said the United States would be reimbursed in part by installing toll booths as he puts on the other border. You know mexico is paying for the wall, just so you understand. They dont say that, they never say it. Were going to charge a small fee at the border, toll boths. We have toll boths. Maybe were going to do something with remittance. Thats when people come here and we send it back. Well get all of the money we spent on the wall. And the president is denying reports that his campaign is in a financial crunch but said he is considering putting his own money into the 2020 race. Pledging he would contribute from his own personal fortune to ensure the success of his reelection. Yeah, if i have to, i would. But were doing very well. We needed to spend more money up front because of the pandemic and the statements being made by dems which are, again, disinformation. If we did this, we had much more money than we had last time, going into the last few months, i think double and triple. I think if we needed more wed put it up personally. How much do you need in the campaign . Whatever it takes. We have to win. This is the most important election in the history of our country. We have a radical left group going around. These people there is something wrong with them. There really is. Joe doesnt have the strength. He doesnt have the mental capability to control these people. So, according to the the new york times, of the 1. 1 billion the Trump Campaign and the party raised from the beginning of 2019 through july, more than 800 million of that money has all right been spent. Bloomberg is reporting trump has discussed spending as much as 100 million of his own money on his Reelection Campaign if necessary, to beat joe biden, according to people that are familiar with this matter. Trump personally contributed 66 million to his 2016 campaign but it would be unprecedented for an incumbent president to put his own money forward winning a second term. A new polling out of florida showing the president and joe biden are deadlocked in the battleground state. Some key graphic shifting their support. In the latest nbc news marist poll, biden and the president are tied at 47 among florida voters. Breaking down those numbers, biden is up with black voters 72 points, women, and smng senieni. Meanwhile, the president holds the advantage among men by 20 points. White voters by 15. White voters without a College Degree by 28 points. And latino, interestingly enough by four points, a statistical tie as well. And a demographic that went for Hillary Clinton back in 2016. We also have a new poll out of pennsylvania giving joe biden a ninepoint lead over the president in that state. The latest nbc news marist poll, biden is up in pennsylvania, 53 to 44. Among key graphics there, biden holds advantage by suburban voters by 19 points. Voters with a College Degree by 29. Women, 21, independent voters by 22. White voters of pennsylvania are split between biden and trump at 49 apiece. The president on the other hand holds an advantage with white evangelicals by 59 points. White voters without a College Degree. 22 voters in the rural area of the state, 22 as well. And among men by just five points. Joining me now, author of Washington PostEarly Morning newsletter power up, jackie alemany. Jackie, thank you so much. Lets get your take on the latest polls that i just tipped through. Some interesting snub ing numbe to say the least. Some not as surprising, some more surprising i have to say, especially when we talk about florida, for instance, and the latino vote with trump up four points. That latino vote going to hillary back in 2016. Florida, as we well know is a really important state as is pennsylvania. Tipped through some of those polls as well. Take three through your take. Two of those states, pennsylvania, heart of the Biden Campaigns that theyre hoping to win. But my current viewers complaints from outside groups is that they dont believe the Biden Campaign has done enough to actively and specifically target latino voters. Especially latino voters that they believe consistently with a substantial voting bloc that could help sway the election. What ive also noticenoticed, af those voters are above the 45 senior range as you pointed out. In the tightening of the polls its caused anxiety sources tell me within the Biden Campaign means that youth is even more important. It shows that the validaters, a lot of the women who validated trumps character and told the American Public that he wasnt racist, that he didnt bad treat women well. And that during the Republican NationalConvention May have actually bolstered his support with some people who were potentially on the fence. But again, you know, what these polls are showing is this is a tight race which both campaigns have always anticipated. Lets also talk about this rally and bring up some of those images we saw last night with the president. Its interesting because this president continued to defy, to go against, however you want to put it, his own recommendations from his Coronavirus Task force. Even in that image of the folks that are directly behind him. An image that is often very well curated by folks at these rallies, you see individuals that are not wearing masks. Throughout this rally, thousands of folks, no social distancing there as well. There is his fear, this could be yet another superspreader event. Could this back fire on him . Im not sure that we can say it will back fire, because, again, this is exactly what we saw on the south lawn of the white house during the Republican National convention. Thousands of people gathered. Against cdc guidelines, without masks, including the president himself. But i think what makes it perhaps even more shocking is that you had republican officials urging the president to wear a mask himself, saying that, you know, the former visits to North Carolina that he sets an example for the American Public. There were concerns from the local republican chair that the president appearance could in fact spark some superspreader event as you jyou just noted. What you saw last night is a snapshot of what the Trump Campaign is going to do until election day which is continuing to flout cdc guidelines. And essentially putting a spin on the coronavirus that has killed 186,000. Thats number the number of deaths we had at memorial day in the past few months. The president making a threat that his touting and teasing of a vaccine is going to improve his standing. And really just sort of glossing over the actual reality of what is going on which is the coronavirus issurging and actually spread into midwest states, that dr. Anthony fauci is saying against the president s claims that its turned the corner. I think what the president has gone as so far as to kind of pretend were not in the middle of a pandemic by not even put on a mask. I thought he turned a corner to seeing it as an example, as we have not, Washington Posts jackie alemany, say close. Still ahead, the Justice Department intervenes in a defamation lawsuit.

The Justice Department yesterday told a federal court that it seeks to take over the president s defense in a defamation lawsuit brought against him by a woman who claims he sexually assaulted her back in the 90s. So in a motion filed in federal court, doj lawyers argued that the president was acting within the scope of his office back in 2019 when he denied an interview having sexually assaulted journalist e. J. Carroll in a dressing room in a department store. Since it was an official act, the doj is arguing that the department should be able to stand in for the President Trumps private attorneys. Makie ing the u. S. Government instead of the president as the defendant of the lawsuit. And that the defamation lawsuit could proceed while hes until office. Carroll responded trump hurls bill barr at me. He sicks the doj on us. This is unprecedented. The department of justice did not respond to requests for comments. Lets get to legal analyst Danny Cevallos. I have a couple questions, danny, i guess i think the first thing is, could a federal judge here reject this substitution, where the doj is essentially stepping in for the president s private attorneys and becoming the defendant . Yes. A judge could reject this, but going back, this is not unprecedented. In fact, federal law allows for the substitution of the United States for a federal employee, in all kinds of cases, including cases against congress people, like senator schumer has enjoyed the benefits of this law. Theres a wide scope of the federal employees that the law allows the United States to be substituted. And the case has to proceed against the u. S. Under the federal court claims act which is very difficult for plaintiffs to succeed in. So, this happens fairly often, less often with the president. And in this case, this may be one of those cases where a judge may send it back down to state court. And heres why. Because the certification by the doj does automatically get the president into federal court, but he doesnt necessarily have a right to stay there. Now the plaintiff can and almost surely will, challenge whatever the president said was within his scope as employment as president. If the court concluded it was not within his scope as employment as president , then the case goes down to the state level and proceeds as trump the person, and not trump the president or the United States. So, what is the advantage to doing this . What is the advantage to the president to doing this . And how can the doj step in on something that the president is accused of doing while he was a private citizen . Hugh advantage for the defendant. Once you institute the United States, the case proceeds under the federal court claims act. Again, very difficult for a plaintiff, much harder than proceeding against the person as an individual. Then, obviously, you have the doj footing the bill for the defense. But in this case, the president s team themselves has cited a case, and this is really interesting where a Congress Person was sued for comments he made while on the phone with a reporter about his separation from his wife. But during that separation, he made allegedly defamatory comments about an Islamic Association that was across the street from where they live. Whats fascinating here is that court concluded that the interview was within the scope of his employment as a Congress Person. But it was about topics that relate to being a Congress Person. So, this may be a case that the Court Rejects the dojs characterization, their certification, and possibly sends it back down to the state court. Danny, next time i talk to you, i want you to turn up the volume on that baby monitor behind you so we can hear exactly whats happening in case she starts crying. No. Not answering. Not at all.
