Interesting that they are seated. Or not…just seems unusual for a debate. No biggie either way. ---

Good tough first answer from Harris. The facts are just devastating for Trump. ---

The China travel shutdown (which really it was not, it allowed tens of thousands of poeple to come back from China) is literally the only thing they have to point to in terms of covid response. ---

lol that was a nonsensical attack. Biden has a plan, and he says that Biden’s plan was similar to what some of Trump/Pence did, therefore it’s “plagiarism” which is one of the weirdest attempts at a zinger. Not only is not true, but even if it were, having common-sense procedures overlap is not “plagiarism” ---
