Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis casts urgent new light on Pence, Harris undercard debate

Oct 6, 2020 | 9:30 AM

WASHINGTON, Wash. — “Politics as usual” isn’t normally considered a good thing, but some in the United States might beg to disagree this year.

That’s why there’s more focus than usual on Wednesday’s vice-presidential debate between Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris. 

Questions persist about Donald Trump’s health following his COVID-19 diagnosis, as well as the age of 77-year-old challenger Joe Biden. 

Harris, a former California attorney general, is expected to use her prosecutorial style against Pence, who heads the much-maligned White House coronavirus task force. 

Thanks to the pandemic, plenty about Wednesday’s debate will still be different from past encounters.
