what a president looks like. >> my exclusive interview with former second lady jill biden, next. >>> plus, fighting for power. an extraordinary threat weeks before the vote. president trump refuses to commit to a peaceful transfer of power. >> there won't be a transfer, frankly. there will be a continuation. >> is the u.s. headed for a constitutional crisis? >>> hello. i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is bracing ourselves. yesterday evening just 38 days before election day, president trump announced his pick to replace justice ruth bader ginsburg on the u.s. supreme court. judge amy coney barrett, a respected legal scholar, favorite of conservatives and a former law clerk for the late justice antonin scalia. >> she is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the constitution. >> the nomination of judge barrett, which could ensure the most conservative court in decades, came just over one week after the death of justice ginsburg. but republicans say they have no time to waste as they plan to hold

thus far, jill biden hasn't really taken a leading role on an issue. but given that education is her area of expertise, she has taken the initiative in launching a two-week back-to-school tour. needless to say, she hasn't been a fan of how the trump administration has handled this crisis, so i began this interview by asking her as a teacher how she feels about other teachers and parents being so nervous about going back to school. >> as a teacher and as a mother and as a grandmother, i mean, i just feel that, you know, we are in donald trump's america. and there's just so much chaos. and i feel that, you know, educators don't know what to do, students don't know what to do. >> the education secretary has been asked time and time again whether there's a plan. what is the plan about reopening schools. and there doesn't seem to be one. >> no. >> does that surprise you? and what would a plan look like in a biden administration? >> you know, no, it doesn't surprise me coming from betsy devos. i mean, i don't think she ever felt invested in america's public

jill biden earlier this week about what she hopes to accomplish if she becomes a first lady. >> as a teacher, mother, grandmother, i mean, i just -- i just feel that, you know, we are in donald trump's america and there's just so much chaos. i feel that, you know, educators don't know what to do, students don't know what to do. >> the education secretary has been asked what is the plan. >> yeah, what is the plan? >> and there doesn't seem to be one. >> no. >> does that surprise you? what would a plan look like in a biden administration? >> you know, no, it doesn't surprise me coming from betsy devos. i mean, i don't think she ever felt invested in america's public schools. she didn't have a strategy, trump didn't have a strategy. there are so many things that joe already has planned to do, and that includes replacing the secretary of education with somebody who has been in the public schools, knows what it's like to be a public school educator as i was and listens to the teacher. joe biden will listen to the educators. he's already planning to give funds to the schools so they have e

biden, dr.ent joe jill biden is in the house, i believe, somewhere. she always does. i'd like to welcome both of you here for what you know is a town or f love, unity and compassion. you spent most of your career unifying people, bringing people together. much like your hometown, scranton, you've often talked about family values. working class families. kenosha is that kind of town. where we come together as people, and what unites us in our inner soul is love, compassion. on this time of healing and hurt and pain, we need that love and compassion. and, we know your leadership is all about unity, not division. it's about healing. so, we thank you for being here today because we know your leadership is important in kenosha and in our country. clear, know -- let's be black americans face systemic racism in a variety of areas. much like many marginalized communities. far too long. we know, with your vision and your leadership and your sense of urgency to dismantle systemic racism in health care, workforce development, education, affordable housing, we know your vision wi

joe and jill biden traveling to kenosha, wisconsin today, this after the shooting of jacob blake and just after that the shooting deaths of two protesters allegedly by 17-year-old armed vigilante. the bidens will meet with blake's family, something that president trump did not do on his visit there. all this as mr. trump is now threatening to cut federal funding to several democrat-led cities and states on the grounds. their leaders are allowing anarchy, violence and destruction. he did not make that threat to the cities of minneapolis and kenosha, both in key swing states that the president hopes to win in november. first, let's go to cnn medical correspondent elizabeth cohen on the cdc telling public health officials to prepare to distribute a vaccine by november. of course, that timing raising some eyebrows because the president has mentioned the possibility of having one before the election. is this rushing the science? are the scientists following the science or politics here? what's happening? >> you know, it's all -- it's all -- there's so many different nuances here. let me p

and hours before the debate, the biden campaign released joe and jill biden's 2019 tax returns. this, of course, as we learned from the "new york times" that president trump has largely avoided paying federal income taxes and still has not released his tax returns. joining me is bakari sellars and david urban. basically confirming the idea that he tries to avoid paying taxes as much as possible in terms of all sorts of ways that, you know, a cpa might recommend. do you think he just goes to that same playbook this evening? >> jake, just to kind of correct the record on that on '17 and '18, since we can't be together i have two visual aids to share with you. in '17 the president actually paid $1 million in taxes. and in '18 he paid 4.2 million in taxes. >> what kinds of taxes are you talking about and where did that come from? >> that's in the "new york times" story. you can read it, "new york times" piece reports that. it says that then he applied for -- he paid those in anticipated taxes for his '17, '18 return. he then claimed a business tax credit on renovation, historic tax

biden who is a community college professor and maybe perhaps. who are head of education yes and i like rhode island governor gina rimando for commerce secretary but you know that your turn if candidate trump were willing to listen to anyone and that anyone is you what would you tell trump do more do less. i would tell him that he and by the way you know the wall street journal came out with this recently in an editorial but i tweeted this out long before that i'm not saying they got it from me but i didn't get it from them what donald trump needs to do is say and i don't know if he's capable of it this is not an election about me you may not like me you may hate me but you can't turn the country over to the radical left to a woman who says as vice president yeah maybe the boston marathon bomber should vote yes so you lose your health insurance but you won't have to fill out those insurance forms yeah let's give it all to illegal aliens too i mean radical as the radical left could be and joe biden who i'm sorry to say every time he opens his mout

how will democratic nominee joe biden react? my interview with jill biden is next. i was sworn into the united states senate in a hospital. my wife and daughter had been killed in an automobile crash, and lying in the bed were my two little boys. i couldn't have imagined what it would've been like if i didn't have insurance to cover them immediately and fully. forty years later, one of those little boys, my son beau, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months to live. i can't fathom what would have happened if the insurance companies had the power to say, "the last few months, you're on your own." the fact of the matter is health care is personal to me. obamacare is personal to me. when i see the president of the united states try to eliminate this health care in the middle of a public health crisis, that's personal to me too. we've got to build on what we did because every american deserves affordable health care. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. deserves af"could have been me". hey mercedes? ♪ i'm a delivery operations manager in san diego, califo

jill biden. he sort of put some ground down that i think he will be tested on as this thing goes forward. but no doubt they will say he had a great night. >> sandra: dr. jill biden stepped up to the microphone. we expect to hear from joe biden. his campaign said he will make the remarks before he starts on the train tour. making his way through ohio and into pennsylvania as the president rallies in minnesota tonight. >> trace: i'm curious. you look at this whole thing and joe biden will come out and speak in a little bit. as he gets on this train tour the question becomes is he going to take questions? do you think there has been enough pushback that joe biden decides he is going to take questions from the press corps with him? >> we hope so. he really hasn't had that many availabilities. he has had a few more in recent days leading up to this debate. maybe he feels the wind at his back after this debate and he will start taking questions. we have invited him every week on special report as a lot

so today, joe and jill biden visit kenosha, wisconsin. they will meet with jacob blake's family, something president trump did not do. in an exclusive interview with cnn, attorney general bill barr says he does not believes systemic racism exists in the u.s. justice system, but we learned new details overnight of a different case of an unarmed black man dying in the custody of police. in rochester, new york, we have the shocking video of that. and this morning, wholemageddon. a jill onnew polls on the state of the presidential race of both conventions, including a brand-new cnn polls. the polls all tell the same very revealing story about where the race is. so where is it? you'll have to wait and see to find out. i want to start with omar jiminez in des moines, iowa. omar, the infection rate in that state is rising fast. cases around the university of iowa doubled since the school reopened. the governor has not issued a mask mandate and promises she won't. >> reporter: that's right, john and alisyn. iowa is the newest hot spot with a whit

raymond, i've got to get your reaction to this interview with jill biden and cnn, socially distanced jake -- >> your husband has been known to make the occasional gaffe. >> oh, you can't even go there. after donald trump you cannot even say the word gaffe. >> i can't say the word gaffe? >> no. no. done. it's gone. >> the gaffe issue is over. >> over. so over. >> laura, you can't do follow-ups, i guess, it's a real problem at this point. i think he was in west virginia trying to ask the question and she couldn't hear hill. gaffes are the least of joe bide president's problems. it's a mental decline. you see evidence of a mental decline. this is an interview he did over the weekend with stephanie at msnbc, watch. >> paycheck protection act. one percent of the money is gone out. one percent. one percent of the -- not the paycheck -- the bill for major -- small business -- one percent has gone out. >> main street lending. >> laura: no, no, i thought she was going to do like hand puppets or something to try to talk to him like -- she should get like two little puppets that talk back and f

jill biden in the audience, as well. you know, poppy, 33 americans have lain in state in the capitol building before this day. 12 have been presidents, from lincoln to jfk to george h.w. bush. the first woman. first woman to lie in state. >> and i'm so glad you mentioned that, jim. and on top of it, as you've mentioned before, the first jewish person to lie in state. jewish man or woman. and i would just say that this moment for jewish americans has to be deeply meaningful to hear that hebrew prayer in the halls of congress, that has not been heard in a moment like this before. >> the rabbi lauren holtzblatt that eulogyized her that she did not arrive with a lightning bolt, one step at a time. >> she was slow in what she did and deliberate in how she did it and that has made the enduring change that happens step by step. arian, i'm reminded of her dissent in the lily ledbetter case, an equal pay case that was later rectified by an act of congress. the parsimonious roadwaeading o title 7 and a reminder to her fellow justi

joe and jill biden will visit the flight 93 memorial in shanksville, pennsylvania. president trump and the first lady will be there for a ceremony. >>> russian, chinese and iranian hackers have attempted to hack into the election. they're confirming what microsoft detected, multiple attempts to compromise email accounts. those officials say so far there is no evidence election systems have actually been affected. >>> to cnn business now. for the first time ever a major wall street bank will be led by a woman. let's bring in cnn's emerging markets editor john deftarios. john, a lot of people saw this move and thought, well, it's about time. >> reporter: yeah, i was going to say exactly the same thing, laura. long overdue appointment. it is getting a lot of a tenks. citi is big in the united states and globally. it's likely to linger in the u.s. economy for a few years. the private sector has been slow to respond to gender balance. not so in the public sector. names like christine lagarde ran the imf and at the world bank and janet yellen ran the fed and we have anoth

jill biden will head to kenosha, wisconsin. he is expected to meet with the family of jacob blake, the black man shot by the police and then they'll host a community meeting to bring americans -- bring residents of the community together. cnn's shimon prokupecz is in kenosha with the latest. we heard many officials were uncomfortable with president trump's visit earlier this week. what are they saying today? >> i think a lot of people would love for all of the politics to stay out of what's going on here right now. things have been calm for several days now. starting to get back to normal. businesses are reopening, the coffee shops, people are sitting outside. a lot of the stores are still boarded up, but some of that is coming down. i would think that a lot of people based on what i'm hearing on the streets would want to keep all of the politics out of this for now. as you said, biden gets here today. he'll be here for several hours and what he's calling a community meeting, he's also expected to meet with the blake family. we

jill biden receive a briefing from delaware. yesterday, dr. jill biden a long-term educator cited the school. after joe biden made a stop in pittsburgh. joining me now, dan lipmann. let's discuss the administration's effort to develop a covid vaccine and what are you hearing and what are the implications you're hearing from this? >> it's a big bet we can actually get it on our season, when in fact the whole world is working on vaccine research. experts say it's not a good idea. therefore, we're foreclosing our ability to get good vaccines from other countries, if needed. and if they get first, in this global vaccine race. it's not a guarantee that we will be able to develop the first safe effective one here in the u.s. >> right. president trump continues to spread the false claim about coronavirus death statistics made by qanon. how is his voter base reacting to this far-right conspiracy movement? >> most of his voters don't believe in it. many of them haven't even heard of it. but he's definitely stoking the fires of people who do believe it.

. >>> just into cnn an exclusive sit-down interview with jill biden. you will see first on "the lead." that's next. so through ancestry, i discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. she was only 17. find an honor your ancestors who served in world war ii. their stories live on at ancestry. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident. cut! is that good? no you were talking about allstate and... i just... when i... accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today. >>> in the cnn exclusive interview, jill biden is taking jabs at president trump, saying america is in chaos under his leadership. the former second lady and potential first lady also discussing the issue on all parents' minds right now with cnn "school in the age of coronavirus." as a teacher and as a mother and as a grandmother, i just feel that, you know, we are in donald trump's america, and there's just so much chaos. and i feel that, you know, educators don't know what to do. stud

we know that joe and jill biden have arrived. joan biskupic, i'm reminded of something -- there you see them. right there as they're waiting. i'm reminded of something she said. this was a while ago, 2002 at brown university. quote, do your part to help move society to the place you would like it to be for the health and well-being of generations following your own. she did that as jeffrey just explained for women and for men on the equality front. that is why she is compared so often to the late justice thurgood marshall. she didn't like that come pairson. tell us why. >> reporter: well, it's interesting. she had a certain personal wisdom about her. and she felt that all of us -- all of the justices, all of the litigators came to the position with their own distinct empathies and she broke ground that was different than her predecessors. and poppy, earlier when you were referring to that scene in the rose garden and what president clinton said of her, i was reminded of what she then said in return. that pulls together many of th

we were showing joe biden live pictures of joe biden and jill biden at a school talking with students. you saw them masked up there. we'll dip in if the former vice president says anything newsworthy and we'll bring it to you. former governor, thank you, sir. >> sandra: the breaking news we brought you a short time ago former vice president joe biden and his wife jill biden just announced they will be visiting kenosha, wisconsin tomorrow. all of this, of course, just a day after president trump visited the city and toured the damage from recent protests. peter doocy is live in wilmington, delaware with details on that and considering you are covering the campaign you are packing your bags i assume as well, peter. good morning. >> looking at flights just off camera right now, sandra, to the greater milwaukee/kenosha area. the campaign is telling us it will include for the former vice president and his wife a community meeting in kenosha and then some sort of a local stop, times and places still yet to be announced. we know that the president -- the former vice president is trying to co

jill biden going up north to traverse city here in the next few days. the trump campaign had some numbers of the presidents family. singer, artist who supported trump in the past, he said he was considering a run for the u.s. senate two years ago. he did not run. he was at a rally. we expect more things like that. from keynotesee candidates again. president trump ended the 2016 campaign in grand rapids. it was an early morning election day rally, which was wildly attended in grand rapids and he ended up winning the state and was in michigan twice the we can leading up to the election. we certainly expect him to be back. we also expect biden to be back. but will we see them as much as we might if michigan were a two or three-point state, that remains to be seen. host: you can follow todd spangler's reporting in the detroit free press. you can also follow him on twitter. thank you very much for your time. guest: thanks for having me. host: we will dig deeper into the state of michigan with political science professor at oakland university david dulio, aut

and jill biden will travel to kenosha. there's been a debate in the democratic campaign about how directly do you respond and how much time do you spend on law and order and the racial reckoning going in the country right now and that takes you away from talking about the coronavirus. joe biden is trying to connect the dots and they've made this decision to go in after the president of the united states. do they see risk in that or do they see all gain? >> there is definitely power in the presidency in setting the agenda and the president spent a good portion of last week during his convention talking about law and order and talking about cities on fire and that did break through in the national conversation and that does require joe biden to have a forceful response. we saw him go to pittsburgh and condemn looting and violent protesting and there is a difference between protesting peacefully and burning a city on fire. i do think because the president has made this campaign for the past week or so all about law and order,

jill biden, landing in kenosha, wisconsin. this afternoon, they'll be meeting with the family of jacob blake, a day after president trump came to kenosha and met with business owners and law enforcement. it's a deliberate contrast, of course. he's trying to send a message of hope and conciliation to the community. a community distraught by violence after protests. protests that followed the death of jacob blake. the protests and demonstrations of late have been peaceful, all peaceful. they even had a barbecue and a block party there the day that the president was visiting. and that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." follow the show online on facebook and on twitter @mitchellreports. and chuck todd is up next with the new hour of "mtp daily" right here on msnbc. text when we're on our way. >> tech: just leave your keys on the dash and we'll replace your windshield with safe, no-contact service. >> tech: schedule at safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ it only takes a second fo
