Sunday, October 25: With Just Days Until Election Day, Coronavirus Cases Reach New Records

At least five close advisers to Vice President Pence test positive for Covid-19, but he says he'll keep campaigning because he's considered "essential personnel." Meanwhile, the pandemic is raging in most of the country, with the number of new cases soaring past 80,000 a day for the first time.

Plus, President Trump spends his weekend barnstorming the country, making his case for re-election, while Joe Biden opts for smaller, socially-distanced events.

And documentary filmmaker Ken Burns looks back at the election of 1932 -- when an incumbent Republican president faced a national crisis with major electoral consequences.

On today's show: CNN's Jeff Zeleny, Toluse Olorunnipa of The Washington Post, and Time Magazine's Molly Ball; Brown University School of Public Health Dean Dr. Ashish Shah and Dr. Megan Ranney of Brown University; Documentary Filmmaker Ken Burns.
