Kamala Harris and Mike Pence to Debate Behind Plexiglass; Joe Biden Slams Trump for Eschewing Masks

HeadlineOct 06, 2020

In other election news, Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence are expected to hold their debate tomorrow separated by plexiglass. Pence’s team mocked the news; spokesperson Katie Miller, who herself tested positive for the coronavirus in May, said, “If Senator Harris wants to use a fortress around herself, have at it.” Pence has so far tested negative for COVID-19.

In related news, Joe Biden appeared at a socially distanced, outdoor NBC News town hall in Miami last night. He said President Trump bears some responsibility for contracting COVID-19.

Joe Biden: “Anybody who contracts the virus by essentially saying masks don’t matter, social distancing doesn’t matter, I think, is responsible for what happens to them.”
