BIDEN: We Can Stay Home During COVID Because “Some Black Woman” Stacked the Grocery Shelf

The vice presidential debate will look a little different than expected, and here’s why.
Vice President Mike Pence – along with the moderator and opponent Kamala Harris – will be shielded by a plexiglass barrier during Wednesday night’s faceoff in Utah in hopes to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The vice president’s team was cleared by CDC Director Robert Redfield to participate in the debate after he signed a memo stating Pence posed no risk by participating in person.
“After a detailed discussion with Dr. Shonau about his investigation and the serial negative testing results of the Vice President, the CDC concludes from a public health standpoint, it is safe for the Vice President to participate in the upcoming Vice-Presidential debate,” Redfield wrote.
Following President Trump’s positive coronavirus test last Thursday, the stakes surrounding the vice presidential debate were at an all-time high.

Pence, who has tested negative for COVID-19 several times over the last week, found himself at odds with the Commission on Presidential Debates earlier this week over its decision to implement barriers surrounding the two candidates and the moderator, according to the New York Post.
After the decision was announced, Marc Short, Pence’s chief of staff, told the Washington Post that the team viewed the barriers as medically unnecessary, arguing that the candidates were both tested daily and would be separated by 12 feet on stage.
“If she wants it, she’s more than welcome to surround herself with Plexiglas if that makes her feel more comfortable. It’s not needed,” he told the newspaper.
But, after continued requests from Team Harris, Pence’s team succumbed.
While barriers were not used at the first presidential debate in Cleveland last week, the idea first gained traction over the weekend when South Carolina Senate hopeful Jaime Harrison brought his own clear barrier to protect himself during his debate against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), according to the Post.
And with Trump still fighting off the coronavirus, it remains unclear what changes will be made to the second presidential debate, scheduled
