Their showdown comes with the highest stakes for a vice presidential debate in recent memory, in part because President Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis has made it unclear if and how additional presidential debates will take place.

It will also mark a historic moment, as Harris becomes the first Black and South Asian woman to participate in a general election presidential campaign debate.

It comes at a chaotic moment in Washington. Coronavirus is spreading rapidly through Trump's White House and among his top campaign allies. He added: "And by the way, this is the same fellow who told you this is going to end by Easter, last time. This is the same fellow who told you that, 'Don't worry, this is going to end by the summer.

Trump pushed back: "I don't think we're going to have a dark winter at all. We're opening up our country, we've learned and studied and understand the disease which we didn't at the beginning. The president also took his first shot of the night at Biden, noting that the former vice president criticized him in January when he put restrictions on travel from China. Moderator Kristen Welker kicked off the debate with the first question of the night: "How would you lead the country during this next stage of the coronavirus crisis?

President Donald Trump, who recently recovered from Covid, answered first, defending his administration's highly criticized response. In August, William Evanina, the nation's top U. The Biden campaign has just responded to claims that have surfaced in recent days from Tony Bobulinski, a would-be business partner of Hunter Biden, who said he met with Joe Biden about a Chinese investment deal in the spring of , after Biden was no longer vice president.

He has never held stock in any such business arrangements nor has any family member or any other person ever held stock for him," the statement continued. Bobulinski is a last minute guest of Trump's in Nashville, and he spoke to the press in a holding room earlier tonight.

Ahead of the final presidential debate, more than Elections Project data. Votes cast by mail and in person this election cycle have now reached By Oct. Democrats have dominated early voting, but Republicans are making up ground with in-person early voting. In states reporting voters' party registration data, registered Democrats have cast Several critical states do not report political affiliation at this stage, including Texas, which has led early voting with a staggering 5.

Texas is considered a must-win state for President Donald Trump. High early-voting turnout allows Democratic organizers to cross off names on their targeting lists and focus resources on turning out a smaller pool of remaining voters closer to Election Day, experts say. But with more GOP voters turning out in-person, Republicans are looking to close the gap. Joe Biden is ready for President Donald Trump to unleash a torrent of attacks on Biden's family at the final presidential debate, Biden campaign aides said Thursday on a press call.

Trump intends to hammer Biden over recently released emails allegedly taken off a laptop belonging to Biden's son Hunter.

The emails have not been independently verified, and intelligence analysts say that the timing of their release, and their murky provenance, bear the hallmarks of Russian election interference. Biden intends to highlight Trump's willingness to once again seek to capitalize on illicitly obtained documents, much as he did in The emails are the latest chapter in a multi-year effort by Trump and his allies to tarnish Biden by suggesting he used his position as vice president to help his son's career.

But a GOP led Senate committee already cleared Biden of any wrongdoing as vice president, another rebuttal Biden is likely to bring up. His scheduled visit to the polls will follow previously announced campaign stops in Florida on Friday. The battleground state began in-person early voting on Monday with long lines even amid stormy weather.

According to state election data , over one million Floridians have voted in-person as of Thursday morning. Registered Republicans make up As President Donald Trump has criticized and stoked baseless fears about mail-in ballots throughout his reelection campaign, it's not surprising that Republicans might prefer in-person voting.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that in-person voting is predicted to bring a wave of conservative voters, with around two-thirds of Florida GOP voters expected to cast ballots in person this election.

After weeks of refusing to stake out a position one way or the other on expanding the Supreme Court, Biden declared ahead of the debate that he will form a bipartisan commission to study the issue and seek out alternatives.

Progressives have pressed Biden to pack the court with liberals to offset the panel's GOP advantage, which will be if Barrett is confirmed as expected on Monday. Trump and other Republicans have warned that Biden will do so, framing it as a dangerous power grab. Biden said that the court system had gotten "out of whack" in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" announcing his new position, but declined to embrace the idea of adding justices.

Portions of the "60 Minutes" interview, which is scheduled to air on Sunday, were released early. It looks all but certain American voters will cast their ballots in the election without having received another round of coronavirus relief.

Democrats and the Trump administration have said they made progress this week in their scramble to reach a stimulus deal before Election Day on Nov. Even so, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi acknowledged it will take "a while" to write and pass a bill even if the sides can resolve their differences in the coming days.

After calling off negotiations earlier this month, Trump has looked increasingly desperate to send aid to Americans before the election — or blame Democrats for Washington's failure to do so.

His renewed focus on policies including direct payments and small business loans comes as his struggle to contain the pandemic and the accompanying economic damage appear to harm his reelection prospects.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has supported a range of economic recovery proposals, from expanded unemployment insurance, child care and hazard pay to relief for state and local governments.

Even so, he has faced skepticism over his proposals to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and corporations, which he said he would do even during the economic crisis. Trump and Biden could face questions about coronavirus aid at the presidential debate during a segment focused on fighting Covid The White House released footage of Trump's contentious interview with "60 Minutes," after Trump griped that correspondent Lesley Stahl treated him unfairly with her questions, which led to him abruptly ending the sit-down.

It is unprecedented for the White House to release footage of an interview with a major news show before its air date, which in this case is Sunday. Biden's campaign, during a call with reporters Thursday, noted that before Trump tromped away from the interview, he reiterated to Stahl his intention to replace the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, with a health-care reform plan of his own.

No such plan has ever been released, despite Trump's repeated vows to do so. Democrats have hammered away during the campaign at Trump's intention to repeal Obamacare, and have warned that his nominee to the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, would provide a vote to undo the law in a case pending before the high court.

Each topic will receive 15 minutes of time, and candidate will get two minutes of uninterrupted time to speak at the top of each segment. The topics were announced late last week, and on Monday the Trump campaign complained to the Commission on Presidential Debates that there would be an insufficient focus on foreign policy.
