Pence, Harris to be separated by plexiglass at debate
The Commission on Presidential Debates approved the use of a plexiglass partition between Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) to reduce the risk of coronavirus infections when they face off in Wednesday's vice-presidential debate, Politico reported Monday, citing two people familiar with the discussions. Plexiglass also will separate the two candidates from moderator Susan Page. Harris' camp supported using the barrier as a precaution following President Trump's infection last week. Pence's campaign opposed it. "If Sen. Harris wants to use a fortress around herself, have at it," said Katie Miller, a Pence spokeswoman. Some Democrats have expressed concern that Trump was contagious last week during his debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
