New polls now show Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Trump in a tight or nearly tied contest in the states of Arizona, Florida and Georgia that are battlefields.
CBS News political correspondent Ed O’Keefe reports that if Trump has turned his crusade’s attention to the Supreme Court and is about to announce what his administration has promised he will be a conservative and anti-abortion candidate on Saturday, Biden and his crusade will remain the target. about economics, coronavirus and race relations, which he discussed today with black companies and educators on a crusader scale in North Carolina.
In his first face-to-face with the state of imbalance since he became the nominee, Biden said, “We have a great opportunity, a great opportunity to fundamentally replace the systemic racism and systemic disorders that exist in our system. “
Some Democrats are pushing to rise to rebalance the Supreme Court. Biden has continually opposed the concept, called ‘judicial packaging’, in the past, but this week he granted a local Wisconsin television station: “That’s a valid consultation, but let me tell you why I’m not going to answer that query. Because it will replace all attention, that’s what he needs; you never need to communicate about the challenge in the consultation and try to replace the subject. “
While the Supreme Court is in a position to hear the arguments of a case that challenges the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on November 10, health care and abortion rights are expected to be at the heart of the weeks leading up to the presidential election. Although he did not proactively address the Supreme Court vacancy, as his crusade seeks to remain focused on Trump and his coronavirus management, to reporters’ questions today, Biden warned that a more conservative Supreme Court could mean the end. . Here.
According to the group’s reports, Biden said, “What’s about to happen is Republicans, if they vote for the nominee, what’s happening is that women’s rights related to everything similar to health and physical care will disappear. It will again charge more than men for the same procedures, pregnancy will again be a pre-existing condition. We deserve to pass on to other Americans and why this is a gigantic mistake and an abuse of power.
As CBS News political manufacturer Rebecca Kaplan reports, although Trump and Republicans have continually promised that they will overcome pre-existing situations, they have not proposed a plan to show how they would do so while reducing costs. Trump has made it less difficult for states to give up federal needs for insurance plans to cover certain types of care, adding maternity care and to the extent that pre-existing situations are still available. Physical care premiums would accumulate without the individual mandate.
A new political report through Cook and research through the Kaiser Family Foundation revealed that more suburban electorate in the major changing states of Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina are favoring Biden’s technique for the ACA and maintaining protections for others with pre-existing situations. compared to Trump’s, polls were conducted before the death of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday.
In a face-to-face crusade with members of the black network in Charlotte on Wednesday, CBS News political unit broadcast spouse Aaron Navarro reported that Joe Biden said the coronavirus itself was not Mr. Trump, “the way he treated him was close to the criminal. “
Biden also referred to Trump’s comments at his rally in Ohio on Monday, where he said COVID-19 “affects virtually no one” because most young people don’t die because of him. “Is he a passne, he’s a virtual person, ” said Biden.
The Democratic nominee also criticized his tax plan, saying that corporate and billionaire taxes would fund his proposals to hire and raise teachers’ salaries.
“This whole ‘Biden thing is going to bankrupt the country, it’s going to spend $400 billion and it’s going to raise your taxes’ – that’s not true. We can all do it by simply paying their fair share and giving other people that I want a break, a break,” he says.
Earlier in the day, two Senate committees released a report stating that Hunter Biden’s paintings in Ukraine, while his father, the vice president, have been “problematic” since Biden led political discussions about Ukraine, but there is nothing in the report to verify President Trump’s statement that Biden fired a Ukrainian prosecutor will protect his son Hunter Biden. Array informs Eleanor Watson, associate manufacturer of CBS News’ political unit.
In reaction to the report, Biden’s crusade criticized Republican-led committees for publishing the report just six weeks before the election “to rescue Donald Trump’s re-election crusade. “
Nearly three decades have passed since Bill Clinton won the state of Georgia in the 1992 general election. With more than a million votes, or 43. 37 percent, of the votes cast for the Democratic nominee, he defeated George Bush with 13,000 votes and the traditional Conservative state has elected a Democrat to the presidency ever since.
Even before the state was thought to be a breeze in the upcoming general election, cross-party reporter LaCrai Mitchell reports that the capital, Atlanta, has served as a Democratic strongman for decades. And while the developing city is surrounded by traditionally more conservative suburbs, Crusade strategists say the expansion of Atlanta and the suburbs has brought those spaces to more democratic.
According to reports from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the city’s last 28 mayors were Democrats and the last six were African-Americans, adding current Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. As the seat of the state’s largest county, Fulton County, Atlanta is critical to any of the political parties for a variety of reasons, adding to the success of its media market.
Although Atlanta’s population accounts for only 4. 7% of the state as a whole, the city’s media market is about 60% of the state as a whole. According to the knowledge of Kantar / CMAG, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has purchased more than $22,000 The value of classified ads to be aired on local cable television state-round for the sixth race by the Congressional District of Georgia, where current Congresswoman Lucy McBath will oppose Republican candidate Karen. Handel, whom she beat in 2018 to win the seat.
To highlight the margins of victory and defeat within the state, a review of Fulton County records shows that in the high-profile race by the Georgian governorate in 2018, Stacey Abrams surpassed 1. 39 issues, or 54723 votes, to beat Brian Kemp to become governor of Georgia. however, they were given more than 90% of the vote in the Metropolitan Domain of Atlanta, where he had served in the Georgian House of Representatives for a decade to form District 89, which encompasses the metropolitan domain of Atlanta. In addition to its political strength, Atlanta is The State’s Economic Engine, which accounted for more than 2. 7 million jobs in July 2020. Political strategists insist that the economic effect on the capital is inextricably connected to its political strength and rarely manifests itself in strength struggles between local and national authorities.
More than six months after emergency medical worker Breonna Taylor shot and killed through police at her Louisville home, a grand jury accused a police officer of shooting at her neighbor’s apartment; however, no police officer has been charged with his role in Taylor’s death. Officer Brett Hankison has been charged with three counts of unjustified danger and two other officers who opened the chimney have not been charged, CBS News virtual reporter Erin Donahue reports.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced the effects of grand jury proceedings in Frankfurt after months of demonstrations, and protesters were not easy to charge officials involved in Taylor’s death. Two of the officials who opened fire, Jon Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, were put in prison Hankison fired.
CBS News Crusade reporter Nicole Sganga said President Trump postponed his comments when the news was heard Wednesday afternoon, but told reporters, “My message is that I love the black net, and I’ve done more for the black net than any other president. “I mean, with the imaginable exception of Abraham Lincoln, I mean it. “Later, he praised Kentucky’s handling of the case and said he would talk to the governor soon. “
Judge Amy Coney Barrett, one of the leading Supreme Court seat candidates who became vacant following the death of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, said in 2016 that she did not believe that the precedent “would establish a rule for either party to the debate” on replacing Supreme Court Judges one year of elections.
“It is not unexpected that the Senate is willing to put pressure on a presidential candidate in an election year when he has the same political affiliation,” Barrett, a professor at Notre Dame Law School at the time, told CBSN in February 2016.
CBS News’ deputy digital policy management editor Stefan Becket reports that Barrett, now a judge at the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, was speaking shortly after the death of Judge Antonin Scalia, the top conservative member of the court for whom he had been secretary. After his death, Senate Republican majority leader Mitch McConnell temporarily promised not President Obama’s candidate for the seat before the 2016 presidential election.
Barrett was asked whether pre-Supreme Court vacancies provided recommendations on a candidate’s approval in an election year.
“I suppose there were six in the 20th century, and 11 if it dates back to the civil war, confirmations that happened in the presidential election years,” Barrett said. “But I think the question is, what does this precedent set?I don’t think I’ll set a rule for either party to the debate. “
The war to update Scalia now serves as a backdrop for the debate over whether the Republican-controlled Senate deserves to verify the Ginsburg update so close to the November election. Democrats accuse McConnell and Republican leaders of hypocrisy for advancing with a nomination, arguing that the winner of the November presidency deserves to decide on the next judge according to McConnell’s own reasoning. Republicans say the precedent for attractive Supreme Court vacancies in election years only applies when other parties control the White House and Senate , and are now preparing for in the 2016 interview, Barrett noticed the differences between the verification of Anthony Kennedy in 1988, the last candidate to be shown through a Senate controlled by the opposition party in an election year, and the dynamics surrounding Scalia. Update.
“Judge Kennedy, you know, the arguments will be that this scenario was distinguishable,” Barrett said. “The void did not happen in the year of the presidential election. It happened the year before, in June, when Judge Powell retired. And Justice. ” Kennedy was named in November last year. In addition, he was appointed after Bork’s appointment failed and [Judge Douglas] Ginsburg withdrew his appointment. “
Barrett also pointed to the radical replacement in the court’s ideological makeup that would result if a Democratic speaker replaced Scalia with a more liberal justice, noting that Kennedy replaced a trial of the same ideological lean. “Also, Kennedy is a moderate Republican and he replaced a moderate Republican, Powell. Balance of force on the ground,” he said. “It’s not an aspect movement. “
Barrett added that ancient parallels were an imperfect way of assessing existing dynamics in relation to the Supreme Court, saying that “the truth is that we live in other times. “Barrett said: “Kennedy was unanimously shown. So, by the way, Scalia was. And this is not the time we live in now. After Bork, you know, confirmation hearings have a lot more controversy. “
He added: “I believe, anyway, that the president has the strength to appoint, and the Senate has the strength to act or not, and I don’t think any of them can argue that there is a rule that is passed one way or another. . ” A month after his statements, Obama appointed Judge Merrick Garland to serve as Scalia. McConnell refused to approve the appointment and the seat remained vacant until 2017, when Trump appointed and the Senate showed conservative Neil Gorsuch in the high court.
Cindy McCain, the wife of late Republican Senator John McCain, has joined prominent Republicans mocking his party’s President Trump to back former Vice President Joe Biden, CBS News crusade reporter Nicole Sganga reports.
“Joe didn’t touch me. I touched it,” McCain said, adding that he feared no Republican reaction to approval. “I think a lot of other people like me and others, they’re suburban women, they’re a little deceived and a little unhappy about the direction the Republican Party is going,” she said on CBS On Wednesday morning. “I’ll be a RepublicanArray . . . But right now, I think the user in the race that represents me most productively is Joe Biden. “
McCain tweeted his help to Biden, an old best friend of her late husband during his term in the Senate, in a series of messages Tuesday night. Calling Biden a “good and fair man,” McCain tweeted that the Democratic nominee “knows what he is. send a child to fight “in a war abroad.
CBS News crusade reporter Alex Tin reports that Biden first announced his endorsement of a virtual fundraiser Tuesday, with comments reported through The Atlantic that the president made about McCain and other veterans and military personnel. CBS News has not independently displayed the president’s comments. McCain joins a long list of other former Republicans backing Biden, adding former Ohio Governor John Kasich, former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former GOP senators David Durenberger, Gordon Humphrey, John Warner and Jeff Flake. The president notoriously called John McCain, a prisoner of war of the Vietnam War, a “loser” and “no war hero” his crusade in 2015. He responded to McCain’s endorsement of Biden on Twitter on Wednesday morning, partly tweeting, “Never a John fan. Cindy can have Sleepy Joe!”
Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly opposes the addition of judges to the court, said crusader Jacob Peters, after days when Republicans insulted the Senate with hope about the “court closure” factor.
“The Senate focuses on approving the urgent relief of coronavirus for Arizonans, anything they’ve been pushing for months, not rushing a vote on a lifetime Supreme Court nomination, or factoring on hypothetical threats about what will happen if the post fills up,” Kelly said. in a prayer.
CBS News crusade reporter Alex Tin said Kelly’s opponent, Republican Senator Martha McSally, was last week among the first to ask the Senate to vote on President Trump’s election of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat. As a special election to take the post of Senator John McCain, Kelly could take up his job until the end of the month.
Biden’s crusade says he is adding more to his team of “several dozen” in Nevada, underlining his “strength position” to win the battlefield in a press appeal Wednesday, CBS News crusade reporter Alex Tin reports.
While Biden’s crusade efforts have commonly remained out of the middle of the pandemic, state Democrats have recently promoted the creation of “distribution centers” for the symptoms of grass and crusade fabrics and claim to have “committed to 13,000 volunteers” through their virtual crusade.
With just two weeks to start voting by mail in New Mexico, Biden’s crusade has asked a former Democratic Party alessor to lead his crusade in the state. who had been his party’s national political director until the summer of 2016, will be its director of state. In the past he had been an adviser to the LGBTQ Kitchen Cabinet Crusade, according to the editor of a recent e-book written through Alvillar.
CBS News crusade reporter Alex Tin notes that President Trump’s crusade has long had a state director and his own new Mexico-founded team, recent polls recommend that the president continue to face serious and demanding situations to overthrow the state.
The Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature seems pleasing to a federal judge’s decision that would increase the state’s absentee voting time by six days, according to CBS News Crusade reporter Adam Brewster. if they arrive before November 9, as long as they are eliminated until Election Day. Mail ballots should normally be delivered to the final of polling stations on Election Day.
In April, Conley also extended the deadline for returning votes by mail by six days. The U. S. Supreme Court eventually left the extension in place, but demanded that ballots be erased before Election Day. and ruled that election officials can serve outdoors in the county where they live. On Wednesday morning, more than 1. 1 million Wisconsin residents deployed the ballots by mail. More than 71,000 ballots were backed up.
