Le point lead. This was taken before the news about the president s covid19 diagnosis, but after the president ial debate. Its full of other big news and developments in the race. We will talk abomore about that a moment. The president remains at walter reed, with serious questions and serious implications following a day of discrepancies and contradictions from the white hou house. Now perhaps trying to put at least some of the more more bid rumors to rest, late in the date donald trump tweeted this fourminute video taken inside walter reed. I came here, wasnt feeling so well, i feel much better now. Were working hard to get me all the way back. Ill be back soon. I look forward to finishes up the compare. I just want to tell you im starting to feel good. You dont know over the next period of a few days, i guess thats the real test. Well be seeing what happens over the next couple of days. Hours later, white house chief of staff mark meadows provided this update. Im very, very optimistic based upon the current results. As the doctor said, hes not out of the woods, the next 48 hours or so with the history of this virus we know can be tough, and but hes made unbelievable improvements from yesterday morning when i know a number of us, the doctor and i, were very concerned. I can tell you this, the biggest thing we see is that, with no fever now and with him doing really well with his oxygen saturation levels, we yet morning we were real concerned with that. He had a fever and his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly. Now, that seems pretty straightforward. The president was in trouble on friday, but is doing better. However, it does not appear to be as simple as that, as that was not the story we were told from much of the day, either from trumps team of doctors or the without. The controversy gained ground when the president s physician, sean connelly, and other doctors here, painted a rosie picture here. But that was contradicted less than an hour later when a source familiar with the president s health, who the Associated Press and others have now identified as without chief of staff, told this to the White House Press pool, which is a small group of reporters who travel with the president on behalf of all the news outlet, quote the president s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning. In the next 48 thundershowers, it will be critical in terms of his care. Were not on a clear path to a full recovery. Within an hour, the president s physicians and the white house contradict each other about the Health Status of our president. Its not a minor contradiction. One is quite optimistic, the other quite dire. It doesnt stop there. Two hours after that, mark meadows, not trying to hide his name or title this time, told reuters, the president is doing well. Hes up and about, asking for documents to review. The doctors are pleased with his vital signs. Ive met with him on multiple occasions today on a variety of issues. Come on, man. Besides this being a clear contradiction of what he said hours before, who talks like this. The president is asking for documents to review . Asking for documents to review . What does that mean . It is well known this president doesnt review documents. He watching cable tv. The president s lead physician dr. Connelly also attempted to clarify the situation. In an official mem democrat he wrote in part the president inits to do well, however, quote, white not out of the woods, the team remains cautiously optimistic. End quote. That was the second official memorandum. His first was released in an effort to clear up the timeline of trumps diagnosis and treatment, which is really important, because hes been in contact with thousands of people this week, and that was littered with notable errors, including calling the company that created the experiment 58 drug the president was given regron, instead of regeneron. Hes not on objection jet right now, thats right. Reporter hes not received any all all . Reporter has he ever been on supplement at oxygen. Right now hes not on oxygen. Yesterday and today he was not on oxygen. Reporter so hes not been on it during his Covid Treatment . Hes not on oxygen right now. None of those repeated questions were different. Nbc news has learned from a source familiar with the president s condition that, quote, some of the president s vital signs on friday morning were early indicators of the potential for progression. Published reports say the president did receive oxygen before he went to the hospital on friday. Meanwhile, another member of trumps close inner circle has contracted covid19, and appears to be a more serious situation. Former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie revealed he too has the disease and has symptoms, and has since been admitted to morristown hospital, due to his history of asthma. This seems to go back to the rose ser myoand trumps debate prep meetings. Christie attended the rose garden, and there he is, no mask. Christie was also part of trumps debate prep teams. That group also reportedly included hope hicks, who has covid19, kellieanne conway, rudy giuliani, who right now has not tested positive for the disease, as far as we know. Joining me now is the president and the ceo of Biotechnology Organization dr. Michelle mcmurrayheath. Shes the founding director of the aspen institutes Society Policy program with a focus on pandemic preparedness. Thank you no joining us. We appreciate you being here. Everything i just said is separate and apart from the fact on tuesday at the president ial debate donald trump again spoke about a vaccine being ready, he said, in a matter of weeks. The immense pressure on Public Health and scientists, i dont think ive ever seen this before. People are being forced to doubt science, because theyre not being told the truth. Its unprecedented. We need to see clarity and need the leaders left alone from politics to do their job. The fda is full of accomplished scientists who knows this field inside and out. They are trying to work at a very rapid pace, to get them vaccines and therapies that work, yet at the same time we have secretary azar refusing to release fda guidance that could help manufacturers in this process. So just this last week we at the Biotechnology Innovation Organization called on the department of health and Human Services to release this guidance. Why are we delays information that could help manufacturing es speed the the development of a vaccine at this crucial time. You wrote a letter on thursday to secretary azar about this, because you were expressing the concern that reg lay lay people like me that have concerns. I got my yellow card of vaccinations, i get everything they tell me to get. This would be the first time in history i start calling people like you when they come out with a vaccine and say, should i take this . And thats a shame. This is undergoing more scrutiny and more consideration than any Vaccine Development program and its going quickly, question. I under the people has given some people cause for concern. The people is because so many scientists have pivoted to work on this problem and find a solution. Just since january we track all of the Development Programs globally, and our industry has started over 180 programs just focused on trying to develop a new vaccine. Luckily nine of those are already in late face phase 2, early phase 3. The science is excellent and the science tys are galvanized. Which is why the politicians should get out of it. The doubt has been placed because President Trump and his folks keep getting involved telling us things between that and press releases coming from drug companies. I just want to see the science. Science should not be politicized. You know, to that effect, we released a letter calling on everyone involved to let the science proceed in covid Vaccine Development. We were so proud when our nine leading manufacturers signed a pledge a couple days later guarantees thats what they would do. Theyre calling for the science to stand on its own. Thats so wonderful to see. Everyone on the science side of this and the medical side of this wants to see the right thing happens and for the public to have the assurances that they need. Doctor, you give me some hope. Thank you for joining us. Joining me now is the ranks member of housing and urban affairs committee, senator sherrod brown, who we know his skype setup has been tested, because we used it an hour ago with his wonderful wife. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for saying that. Thank you. You were both good on that. Thank you. Let me talk about a bunch of things, the most serious of which is a number of colleagues, at least two of them three of them have contracted coronavirus, we wish them and Everything Else in this reporting were doing well, but this is affecting the business of the senate. By the way, never mind the Supreme Court nomination, im worried about the heroes 2. 0 act, things having to do with coronavirus that people need Economic Relief from. Well worked have passed this weeks ago, months ago. The house and senate moved together in march, did the right things, the 600 a week, kept 12 Million People out of the poverty, Speaker Pelosi and the house passed the heroes act in may. Mitch mcconnell said he sees no urgency. In august 600,000 people in my state lost their unemployment benefits, just like that. What do they do to not get evicted or feed their families . Pelosi is trying against with a scaleddown view, still no action from mcconnell. We should be passing that. We need to get help to people. I mean, theres going to be a huge wave of evictions. Food banks are seeing people they have never seen before. Congress just says congress and trump says nothing. Senator, we have 30 days to go until the election. The consequences of tuesdays debate are coming into clear focus. We have some brandnew polling we announced at the top of the hours. Nbc news wall street journal polling. It shows joe biden with a 14point late, which is double almost the eightappointed late taken just before the debate. Also bidens largest lead of the race, the previous high being 11 points. We also have predebate nbc news wall street journal poll shows, post debate joe biden has a onepoint lead. So a 14point swing amongst men 50 and older. What do you make of that . I take it that joe biden talks about the dignity of work. Joe biden is the most proworker, prounion candidate of my time, and he will govern through those eyes. The contrast that with trumps betrayal of workers, hes betrayed workers saying dont sell your homes, the jobs are coming back before the plant shut down and we tried to save it. He puts the secretary of labor in, who used to be a corporate labor lawyer making millions suing workers and breaking unions. So its clear trump is not on the side of working families. Thats becoming clearer and clearer, especially in contrast to a proworker candidate like joe biden. Lets talk about, though i was in your state yes. I wasnt able to talk to you there. I was talking to some people who got bad information. Wherever they get their information, they believe certain things to be true. Whether its women or suburban men, people coming for their jobs, people coming for their neighborhoods, people come fog their property values, as i was talking to your lovely wife, he talks about how corey booker will brings subsidized housing into suburban neighborhoods. But there is an attempt to try to get to that crowd of people and scare them. Of course. Thats what demagogues do, thats what rightwingers do. They use race, they use division to try to scare people. Thats how trump holds onto his base, the one third or 35 or maybe 40 of voters that respond to that divisive talk, but the voters increasingly are seeing the recklessness and the carelesses in of this president. I see it around the capital, where republicans often dont wear masks, they bring large numbers of staff people, and it puts the cafeteria workers, floor staff, security people at risk. This party is the antiworker party, take care of yourself and dont worry about anybody else. Thats showing up in National Polls and why ohio is going to go with biden and well see an electoral landslide, which will just undermine all of trumps first election antics that he thinking he will question the election about. Thats the really good news out of the that poll. Is there anything in that poll that would give pause to Mitch Mcconnell and republicans, to say americans are so strongly in favor of joe biden and democrats that maybe dont plow ahead with the Supreme Court nomination, or do you think it causes them to double down because they might lose the senate . Well, you just spoke logic. I think mcconnells logic is the opposite. Mcconnell knows as trump knows theyre going to lose. Mcconnell doesnt want to do anything right now that would help the country, the 600 a week, putting money into schools to open safely, helping people that might be about to be evicted. Putting money in local governments, so mcconnell doesnt want to do that. He wasnt to put those problems on the steps at the feet of the democrats in january, and he will not let up on the Supreme Court justice. He lives Mitch Mcconnells lives for power, for tax cuts and for young rightwing judges. He will put numbers of his own staff and his fellow senators at risk. They continue they weekly lunches. We do ours on the phones as democrats. These lunching, they dont care about the food service workers, they dont care about security people. Im not sure he cares a whole lot about his colleagues so, its full speed ahead for mcconnell, no matter how desperate. Im glad your skype setup got a lot of use this morning. Thanks. I traveled to ohio this week. Were going to get to the importance of the buckeye state, but heres a voter in ohio. The reality is we have democrats and we have republicans. As soon as you put them into that, it puts you in a camp, it means youre a democrat, it means you believe this. Not necessarily. Im a republican, but i believe a lot of things on both sides. But right now were in a win or you lose. I think we need to work toward a winwin, and i think joe biden can do it, because hes done it in the past. Hes done it in the past. Stain.

Its hard to win the presidency without winning the state of ohio. With just one month to the election i traveled to the battleground state to speak with voters. Ohioans were deeply affected by the trade war with china, as well as by the pandemic. The house of representatives passed another relief bill, but it is stalled in the senate, and the path forward is unclear now that theres a covid outbreak among some members. With me now is marsha fudge of ohios district which includes cleveland, just a bit east of where i was yes. Congresswoman, thank you for being with us. Every time i go to ohio, its all of the topics. People are interested in manufacturing, interested in wages, the Affordable Care act, social welfare and social justice. What is your sense of what is motivating ohio voters right now . A number of things. First, thanks for having me. People forget that ohio is not only a manufacturing state, but one of the largest agricultural states in the united states. Thats right. When the president came here four years ago, he promised he would bring back manufacturing. Manufacturing in how ohio now is at its lower than in a decade. Weve had more bankruptcies than anyone can even remember how many times weve had this number of bankruptcies. He talked about what he was going to do about education. All of the things he said, none have come true. There were promises made, no promises kept. I think the people of ohio have realized this president is not acting in our best interest. When you lay on top of that covid and what its done to this economy, people have said, you know what . We gave that a try appeared now were going back to the triedandtrue. Just in the last 24 hours, ohio has seen 1100 new cases, 20 new deaths. Senator brown and i were just talking about the comments that President Trump made in 2016 in youngstown, ohio, where he told people dont sell your homes, your stuff is coming back. Between trade and agriculture, the president has not helped. What is it about joe biden that people can look into and say, maybe hell get whats going on, other than the enact he often talks about being from the industrial midwest. What are the kinds of policies youre hearing people want
