WILMINGTON - @JoeBiden introducing more members of his Cabinet and notes that several Obama-era colleagues are returning. “Some are new in their roles. All are facing new circumstances and challenges."
@JoeBiden Notably, USDA Secretary-designate Tom Vilsack begins his remarks by discussing the diverse staff he led before and how he plans to take on systemic racism again. Comes after days of criticism that another potential pick, @RepMarciaFudge was passed over for the job.
@JoeBiden @RepMarciaFudge Biden has nominated Fudge to lead @HUDgov. Former WH COS Denis McDonough to lead @DeptVetAffairs, @AmbassadorRice to lead the White House Domestic Policy Council and Katherine Tai to lead @USTradeRep
@JoeBiden @RepMarciaFudge @HUDgov @DeptVetAffairs @AmbassadorRice @USTradeRep In his remarks, Vilsack also notes @WhipClyburn's longtime push to adopt the 10/20/30 formula. Clyburn had been pushing for Fudge to lead USDA. clyburn.house.gov/10-20-30-amend…

NEW ⁦@CBSNewsPoll⁩: Most feel election is "settled" but @realDonaldTrump’s voters disagree cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-…
FROM THE POLL: 82% of Trump voters say they don’t consider Mr. Biden legitimate and almost half of the president’s voters say Mr. Trump should refuse to concede after that Electoral College vote happens, and instead do all he can to stay in power.
Most voters say their own vote and the votes in their state were recorded and counted correctly. Includes most Dems, R’s and independents. So, much of the doubt among Trump voters appears to stem from a belief about things that they feel happened with other peoples' ballots. Image

NEW FROM @CBSNewsPoll: @JoeBiden up 2 in Florida; @realDonaldTrump up 2 in Texas: ImageImage
In Florida, the contest has tightened since our last poll in July, from 6 points down to 2 now, amid an ebbing — if still sizable — concern about coronavirus, while President Trump has picked up a few more of the state's remaining uncertain voters. cbsnews.com/news/trump-bid…
IMPORTANT: New @CBSNewsPoll’s in FL and TX finished just before the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. So it remains unknown how a court vacancy might shape the presidential race in these and other states.

Campaign now advises that Biden’s Sunday afternoon remarks will be about the Supreme Court.
@JoeBiden Speaking in Philadelphia, @JoeBiden says: "If President Trump wants to put forward a name now, the Senate should not act until after the American people select their next president, their next Congress, their next Senate."

Speaking from Wilmington, Del. on the subject of climate change and the western wildfires, @JoeBiden says the country is facing four historic crises at the same time: The Pandemic, an economic crisis, a reckoning on race and "undeniable acceleration" of climate change.
@JoeBiden "Wildfires don't skip towns that voted a certain way," @JoeBiden says. "The impacts of climate change don't pick and choose. That's because it's not a partisan phenomenon. It's science."
@JoeBiden The president didn't cause the fires, @JoeBiden says, but if @realDonaldTrump gets a second term, "these hellish events will continue to become more common."

NEW THIS AM from @CBSNewsPoll: @JoeBiden leads @realDonaldTrump among *likely* voters in Arizona and Minnesota:
IN ARIZONA... The president still has solid support from Republicans. They think he headed off an even-worse outbreak; that his policies are helping the economy recover and that it can recover even if the virus isn't contained.
And in Arizona, the president is up overall among those who call the economy an important factor; he's narrowly up over Biden on handling the economy, generally, and manufacturing, specifically.

ALSO NEW FROM @CBSNewsPoll: Skepticism about getting a #coronavirus vaccine has grown since earlier this summer. Most say if a vaccine were made available this year, their first thought would be that it was rushed through without enough testing. cbsnews.com/news/voters-co… Image
2/3rds of voters think if a vaccine is announced as soon as this year, their initial thought would be that it was rushed through without enough testing, rather than a scientific achievement that happened quickly: Image
3 in 4 D’s say if vaccine becomes available in 2020, their first thought would be that it was rushed without enough testing. Nearly half of Republicans hold this view. Slightly more Republicans (52%) think if a vaccine is available this year, it would be a scientific achievement. Image
