9/1: Joe Biden accuses Pres Trump of stoking tensions as the president prepares to visit Kenosha. FDA Commissioner on fast-tracking the coronavirus vaccine.
President Trump is heading to Kenosha, Wisconsin today, over the objections of local leaders, who are concerned his presence could fuel tensions. Both the president and his Democratic rival Joe Biden spoke yesterday about the recent unrest in multiple cities. Demonstrations in Kenosha have been mostly peaceful in recent days, Jacob Blake's family is among those calling for non-violence. The head of the FDA tells CBS News there is no political pressure to fast-track a coronavirus vaccine before the election, without fully testing it. But Commissioner Stephen Hahn says he may consider an emergency use authorization for a vaccine before clinical trials are finished. Today's Democratic primary in Massachusetts is getting nationwide attention, mostly because of one famous name on the ballot. Congressman Joe Kennedy III is trying to unseat Senator Ed Markey. And we're honoring the life of longtime Georgetown Hoyas basketball coach John Thompson Jr., the first black head coach to win an NCAA Championship in 1984.
