WH Physician Sean Conley: "Saturday will be day 10 since Thursday’s diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully expect the President’s safe return to public engagements at that time.”

Trump campaign on President's health and next debate: "President Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, says the President will be medically cleared for ‘safe return to public engagements’ by Saturday, five full days before the originally scheduled debate in Miami on October 15."

Trump campaign: "There is therefore no medical reason why the Commission on Presidential Debates should shift the debate to a virtual setting, postpone it, or otherwise alter it in any way."

Trump campaign: "CPD Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf admits that they consulted with no one before unilaterally changing the format of a debate, well in advance of any knowledge of what the President’s condition would be on debate night."

Trump campaign: "The commission must stop protecting Joe Biden from this in-person debate and allow the event to proceed as it was agreed to months ago."

Trump campaign: "The American people can see through this obvious attempt to shield Biden from another shellacking like he got two weeks ago in Cleveland and the CPD must reverse course and let the debate proceed.”

Pelosi to House Democrats on Admin's COVID-19 relief offer:"On Friday,Trump Admin returned to the table with a proposal that attempted to address some of the concerns Democrats have in the coronavirus relief negotiations.This proposal amounted to one step forward,two steps back."

Pelosi: "When the President talks abt wanting a bigger relief package,his proposal appears to mean that he wants more money at his discretion to grant or withhold,rather than agreeing on language prescribing how we honor our workers,crush the virus & put $ in pockets of workers."

Pelosi: "At this point, we still have disagreement on many priorities, and Democrats are awaiting language from the Administration on several provisions as the negotiations on the overall funding amount continue." speaker.gov/newsroom/101020

Raskin:"In the age of COVID-19,which has killed more than 210,000 Americans & now ravaged WH staff,the wisdom of the 25th Amdt is clear. What happens if the President,any President,ends up in a coma or on a ventilator & has made no provisions for the temporary transfer of power?"

Raskin (D-MD) on Congress passing his legislation to create 25th Amendment Commission on Presidential Capacity: "I wish that Congress had set up this permanent body years ago. It did not do it, but we do need to do this certainly in the new Congress."

Pelosi on COVID-19 relief talks: "When the President did his tweet, that one that said that he was walking away, I think he surprised a lot of people. I do not want to go into who they are now, but it was a disservice to the discussion that we were having in good faith."

Pelosi on details of COVID-19 relief talks: "When I talked to the Administration most recently last evening, I said, you've still haven't given us a response to the language after all this time. They admitted that."

Pelosi on COVID-19 relief legislation: "Let me just be really clear. I have been very open to having a standalone bill for the airlines or part of a bigger bill, but there is no standalone bill without a bigger bill. There is no bill."
