Outside of the Biden side of this: Has anyone asked Pence about his failure to answer about a dozen questions at the debate — including how Trump-Pence will protect people with preexisting conditions? The case is at SCOTUS now; they took a side. It’s not a hypothetical.

Pence also wouldn’t answer what he would want Indiana to do if Roe was overturned. That should be getting as much attention as the court-packing question. Both are conditional, multiple-steps-removed questions.
The problem is there are a thousand things the reporters covering Trump/Pence can and should be questioning them about, whereas there are few Biden topics. So, the Biden reporters are flooding the zone on this one story because they’re all thinking “Ooh, something interesting.”
Biden said he’s not answering that hypothetical because it only even becomes relevant if Republicans insist on moving through Barrett’s nomination AND Biden wins AND Dems take the Senate. He also said the attention should be on what Rs are trying to do right now.
Compare that to the 100s of outright lies and countless more nonanswers that Trump & Pence have inflicted on the American people. Each issue, each lie, each nonanswer should be addressed, but with “Trump/Pence reporters” and “Biden/Harris reporters,” the balance is out of whack.
Anyway, there are more than 210,000 dead Americans and Trump wants to take away health care protections and the Senate Republicans are focused on making that, voter disenfranchisement, and more so much easier by rushing a SCOTUS nominee through after people started voting.
