One of the most interesting things developing today was Nancy Pelosi suggesting that she doesn’t think that Joe Biden should debate president Trump at all.

Last week, we asked readers, “The Democrats and Republicans are trying to negotiate the next Coronavirus relief package, but they are in a stalemate in the negotiations. What do you think they need to do?” Six hundred and seventy-eight of you responded, with 48.08% (326 readers) saying that “The Republicans should not give in.
