Thank you very much, Anderson. I appreciate it. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime.

Literally, if this were a fight this campaign, we are now in the last round. These three weeks,

0:10.8

this is it. You're going to see both campaigns coming with everything they got. So what do we see?

0:16.1

Biden is making sure he doesn't get put in a corner, right? He's moving around the ring. He's

0:20.0

going to the places he needs to be. His hands are up at all times because he believes he's a head

0:24.7

on points. Trump, on the other hand, knows he needs a knockout. He is going for broke. Every punch

0:32.2

is a haymaker. He's swinging wildly. Every line is an insult. Every rally is likely to get

0:38.8

someone sick. And you will not hear him say to put on masks. Even though followers tell us they

0:45.7

would do it if he asked. Like I said, he's going for broke. But here's Trump's problem. Here's

1:32.4

It's not only not going away. It's in full effect in both of those states. So his rallies may have

1:38.2

thousands cheering in his corner, but there are millions in those states who are feeling the beating

1:44.3

from the virus and the failing economy as a consequence. Now the irony is if Trump actually took

1:52.2

on the pandemic that is punching him in the face, he might win the election. We would surely be

1:58.3

in better shape. Instead, he's running away from the opponent. He's pretending it's not even a real

2:04.5

fight for us. That coronavirus will just magically leave the ring. He says he's going to give you a big

2:10.8
