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

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."
