Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski shared how their engagement went down in an interview with Vanity Fair, but they also dished that President Trump offered to officiate their wedding at the White House.

How it went down: Over lunch with POTUS, Ivanka, and Jared just after the inauguration, Trump said that if the couple got married, they should do so at Mar-a-Lago or the White House. Kushner jumped in and offered to officiate the ceremony.

POTUS' response: "Why would you marry them? They could have the President of the United States marry them."

Mika's reaction: "If it weren't Trump, it might be something to think about. The mental picture is just fascinating, but the reality is just . . . no. No, no, no, no, no."

Why it matters: Young people's concerns about financial insecurity once they're on a restricted income are rising — and that generation is worried the program, which currently pays out to 65 million beneficiaries, won't be enough to sustain them.

Axios-SurveyMonkey poll: Doubts over fair election results

SurveyMonkey poll of 2,847 U.S. adults conducted Aug. 11–12, 2020 with ±3% margin of error; Chart: Naema Ahmed/Axios

One in four Americans is worried their ballot won't be accurately counted this year, and four in 10 worry mail-in voting could yield less reliable results, according to a new Axios-SurveyMonkey poll.

The big picture: Partisan identification is a massive driver of distrust in both categories — and the stakes are huge this year.

Joe Biden's campaign is doubling down on its criticism of President Trump's mishandling of the coronavirus, launching two new 30-second ads today on the heels of Biden's own call for an outdoor mask mandate.

Why it matters: With Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, now in place to amplify and augment the message, the campaign is signaling it will hit Trump on the pandemic every day until Nov. 3.
