Last week, we endured 3 days of Senate hearings with Supreme Court nominee Amy Barrett. Democratic Senators used most of their time deliberating and admonishing the justice nominee, questioning her right-wing affiliations. She was deft to avoid clear associations, proving her political and judicial merit. The Democratic agenda seemed to fail in cornering Amy Barrett into admitting something uncouth or controversial. Their in hopes delaying her confirmation didn’t last past Tuesday afternoon. Amy Barrett remained careful, sharp and attentive, skillfully able to dodge left-wing assumptions while fanning her catholic base. By Wednesday evening, Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer [D-NY], confirmed the results of the hearing with a press release statement referring to the future of “Justice Amy Barrett”.

Without catching a break, that same night, the world was treated to a dueling of town halls. Joe Biden was hosted by ABC and moderated by George Stephanopoulos; Trump hosted, simultaneously, on NBC, moderated by Savannah Guthrie. @8PM EST. And as it would happen, Biden’s town hall gained the most viewers contrary to the popular assumption that the american people would rather watch a raging dumpster-fire than a mild-mannered debate. Even though Savannah Guthrie was knocking the shit out of 45 on NBC, Joe Biden gained the majority of America’s attention. The voters wanted to know Joe Biden’s view on fracking, court packing [and more], to which he gave resounding answers to. Meanwhile on NBC, Savannath Guthrie was reminding POTUS that he was the president of the united states, not “some crazy uncle spewing conspiracies”. Her questions centered on the presidents consistent retweeting of Qanon conspiracies⁺, and other things he was cagey to answer, like if he tested positive the day of the first presidential debate.

The latest CNN polling shows Biden/Harris in the lead with a national 11-point lead [53% v. 42%] Admittingly, these averages provide no solace for anyone who is reminded of the 2016 election. The polls showed a similar lead for the Hillary Clinton campaign and look what happened there. We cannot rest with any reassurance that this election will be easily won. As November 3^rd looms ever closer, one solution is guaranteed to make sure our ballot will be counted. VOTE EARLY. Experts believe this is the best way to fight any possibility of voter suppression^[1]. And for anyone else who would like further information of the dueling town halls, I’ll provide the 12 highlights ‘here‘ [according to the NY Times]. The final presidential debate is expected to air Thursday night [Oct. 22] at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. @6PM Pacific Standard Time, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will share a debate stage for the last time.
