Democratic vice-presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) only has to repeat one thing to decisively win Wednesday’s debate with Vice President Mike Pence, according to Morgan State University journalism professor Jason Johnson.
Johnson, appearing as a political contributor on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” with Brian Williams on Tuesday, said all Harris has to do “with every question is say ‘You let your boss get sick, the president of the United States is sick because of you ― you’re supposed to be the czar.’”
Pence leads the White House coronavirus task force, which has been condemned for its catastrophic mishandling of the pandemic. At least 210,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 and over 7 million have fallen sick.
Trump was released Monday from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after three days of coronavirus treatment. His illness followed months of publicly downplaying the pandemic’s threat, refusing to wear a face mask, holding crowded campaign events and advocating reopenings. In private, however, the president acknowledged COVID-19′s “deadly” nature.
“This will be the easiest prosecution Sen. Harris has probably had since her second year of law school,” Johnson predicted.

 | WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING | There isn’t enough time to pass additional coronavirus relief for millions of struggling Americans before the presidential election because the Supreme Court needs a new justice, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Wednesday. “We only got four weeks to the election, and we got a justice of the Supreme Court to get passed. It’s too close to the election. Not enough time to get stuff done at this stage of the game,” Kudlow told CNBC. | |

The Texas Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that 2 million Houston voters cannot receive unsolicited mail ballot applications from local elections officials who are dramatically expanding ways to vote in November in the nation’s third-largest county, a key battleground in Texas. The decision by the all-Republican court is the latest defeat in a string of losses for Democrats whose efforts to change Texas voting laws during the coronavirus pandemic have largely failed. | |

Trump’s accountant must turn over his tax records to a New York state prosecutor, an appeals court ruled Wednesday in a decision that likely sets up a second trip to the U.S. Supreme Court over the issue. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said in a written decision that a stay of a lower-court decision will remain in effect so Trump’s lawyers can appeal the ruling to the high court. | |
