President Trump and Joe Biden take the stage for a debate that could be a pivotal moment in the campaign as they offer starkly different visions for the nation. Follow our coverage: apne.ws/FsuBods #Debates2020
The presidential debate began with a contentious exchange over the Supreme Court. President Trump defended his nomination of a new justice, insisting he had every right to select Amy Coney Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. #Debate2020 apne.ws/yWBd0Aa
@AP_Politics "Right now, I’m the Democratic Party." Biden challenged Trump after he accused him of supporting abolishing private health insurance. Biden noted that he won the Democratic nomination partly by arguing against single-payer health care.

THREAD: A new AP-NORC poll shows that despite widespread job losses and business closures, many Americans have shored up their finances by saving more money and paying down debt during the pandemic. apne.ws/ZPl42Jj
The new poll shows that 45% of Americans say they’re setting aside more money than usual, and 26% are paying down debt faster than they were before the coronavirus pandemic. Image
The poll’s findings shed light on a persistent riddle of a global pandemic: Even as just 37% call the national economy good, 63% describe their personal financial situation as good. apne.ws/6606XYq

THREAD: A new AP-NORC poll finds an American public deeply pessimistic about the direction of the country and dissatisfied with President Trump and the federal government’s handling of the pandemic. apne.ws/hzwGXr1
@AP_Politics Just 31% of Americans approve of Trump’s leadership on the pandemic, a significant drop from 44% approval in March, when the virus began spreading through the U.S. Image
The AP-NORC poll also finds roughly two-thirds of Americans saying the government is not doing enough to help individual Americans financially. Democrats are about twice as likely as Republicans to say that. Image

THREAD: @JoeBiden made history Tuesday by choosing @KamalaHarris as his running mate, making her the first Black woman on a major party’s presidential ticket.

Go inside Biden’s decision and read more from the @AP_Politics team.

“It tells Black girls that they can be president."

For many Black women, @KamalaHarris' selection as @JoeBiden's running mate represents a full-circle moment after fighting for generations to have their voices heard and political aspirations recognized.

apne.ws/hdU3i65
The pick has also stirred up misinformation. From @APFactCheck:

NO, Harris did not threaten Trump fans with ‘vengeance of a nation’ apne.ws/zfgG1aD

NO, Harris did not call Biden a racist
apne.ws/yxWeiL3

YES, Harris is eligible to serve
