Closing Remarks: The Second Presidential Debate

At the final presidential debate of the 2020 campaign, President Donald Trump (left) sparred energetically with former Vice President Joe Biden (right), though the introduction of a new mute button kept the crosstalk which had plagued the last debate to a minimum. In the final stretches of the campaign, Trump sought to rebrand himself, promising economic recovery and a swift end to the pandemic. Biden, on the other hand, made several progressive policy commitments in immigration and climate change, a departure from his generally risk-averse strategy.

A Preview of 2024: The Vice-Presidential Debate

Vice-presidential nominees Senator Kamala Harris (left, D-CA) and incumbent Vice President Mike Pence (right, R-IN) square off at the first and only vice-presidential debate. In many ways, the debate reflected a throwback to the past, featuring a veneer of civility that is distinctly unfamiliar in the Trump era. Yet the two candidates, in many ways both better representatives of their parties’ bases than their respective running mates, are also clearly padding their resumes for their own future presidential ambitions; they could very well be facing a rematch four years later.

Ginsburg Vacancy Sparks Apocalyptic Senate Battle

Memories of a bygone era in bipartisanship: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (right), who passed away September 18, 2020, accepts her nomination from then-President Bill Clinton (left) in June 1993. Ginsburg was confirmed by the Senate with an overwhelming 96–3 vote, but President Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to succeed her is likely to start an apocalyptic confirmation battle in today's hyperpartisan Washington.
