NEW: BIDEN's inaugural is forgoing fossil fuel $, but liberal groups want the ban expanded to "all major corporate sectors" to prevent them "from wielding undue influence."

The groups, led by @demandprogress, released a letter to @BidenInaugural today. nytimes.com/live/2020/12/1…

The BIDEN inaugural committee's "drive to raise so much $ without a clear use for it is perplexing & the appearance of doing so is disconcerting, as we must strive to stamp out the unfettered corruption that has defined the TRUMP era," wrote liberal groups s3.amazonaws.com/demandprogress…

@KamalaHarris

FIRST ANSWER: @KamalaHarris comes out, guns blazing, no acknowledgement of @Mike_Pence, calls the TRUMP administration's Covid response a failure.

PENCE, by contrast, thanks Susan Page & the debate commission, & acknowledges HARRIS, saying "it's a privilege to be on the stage with you."

Then pivots to calling out BIDEN for opposing Chinese travel suspension.

SHOTS FIRED: Pence says that the Biden Covid response plan "looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about." telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews…
