Why it may be good for Biden if the VP debate didn't change voters' mindsVice presidential debates aren't generally known for changing general election campaigns. David Plouffe and Mike Murphy, two political experts from opposite sides of the aisle, say that's true again in 2020 and that's probably good news for Joe Biden.

MAGA: Trump May Have Exposed Thousands of People to COVID-19According to a new report, the White House’s recklessness may have exposed 6,000 people to the virus The 6000 people aren’t responsible for not wearing masks or social distancing or quarantining during a pandemic though, because personal responsibility is racist or something LOL “federal government wouldn’t knowingly expose them to a highly contagious, deadly virus. Yet along with dozens of other norms, like the one wherein we didn’t have to wonder if the POTUS had made an erratic decision because he was hopped up on steroids..” Not mentioned: except for the press corps & Secret Service, those exposed were largely donors & supporters. And, the vast majority will still contribute & vote for him. Yikes.
