What Went Down During The Vice Presidential Debate

But who is answering questions directly tonight?

This is a mind-bending debate question, about what happens if Trump refuses a peaceful transfer of power. “How will you respond if your opponent wildly breaks democratic values?” It seems like if things go that far off the rails, a public plan might not make sense. She isn’t answering the question directly, at any rate.

We’re moving past the section on systemic racism, the Floyd protests and police violence against Black Americans. As Perry and I wrote about Biden’s biggest lead among Black voters came throughout June, following Floyd’s death and the early days of the protests against police brutality. That makes sense: Scholars have found that because of past experiences with discrimination and prejudice, Black people are more likely than other racial and ethnic groups to view their fate in a collective way.
