TRANSLATION: - When Richard (Nixon) resigned in 74, his replacement, Gerald Ford, said in his first speech: 'My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.' Today we feel the same, the national nightmare of the last four years has finally ended. - That we would be represented in the White House by a Black woman, with roots in India, progressive, born here, believing in the values of equality and health that we have here, and with a basic ethic: this is something that was impossible to imagine during the last four years.
On Wednesday, the Vice Presidential Candidates Kamala Harris and Mike Pence debated. Who won the debate depends on which political party you belong to. Mike Pence insisted that despite 210,000 American deaths to COVID-19 President Trump and his administration have done an excellent job against the virus. HuffPo said Harris scored points by showing Pence's disconnection with the reality of the virus. Harris was also able to make points about health care that Joe Biden was not able to. Pence, for his part, tried to get Harris to answer simple questions about the Green New Deal and stacking of the Supreme Court.
The Vice Presidential Debate will be held Wednesday night. Over the weekend President Donald Trump was diagnosed with COVID. Debate organizers want to keep the candidates safe, so they suggested that VP Mike Pence and Kamala Harris sit with plexigass barriers around them. CNN reports that Pence does not want plexiglass barriers around him at the debate. A top Pence aide said the VP is rebuffing an announcement from the Commission on Presidential debates that the dividers would be used. "We have yet to hear medical evidence what the plexiglass is for," Pence's chief of staff Marc Short told CNN. The plexiglass dividers were announced by the commission on Monday night.
