US Election 2020: Biden accuses Trump of giving up in Covid fight
Both Republicans and Democrats are wary of polling after the stunning upset Trump pulled off in 2016.
Oct. 16 - US presidential challenger Joe Biden on Sunday accused Donald Trump of giving up in the fight against Covid-19 as the president faced a new outbreak in his team, surging infections nationwide and an uncomfortable admission by his chief of staff.
Nine days before the vote -- and with reported US coronavirus deaths having surpassed the grim total of 225,000 -- Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows conceded Sunday that "we are not going to control the pandemic, which he said could only be done through "vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation areas."
Control was not practical, he said, because "it is a contagious virus just like the flu."
Biden immediately seized on Meadows' comment as he again hammered the administration over the virus, which has set records for new cases in recent days, with nearly 90,000 on Saturday.
"It was a candid acknowledgement of what President Trump's strategy has clearly been from the beginning of this crisis: to wave the white flag of defeat and hope that by ignoring it, the virus would simply go away," the former vice president said in a statement.
"It hasn't, and it won't." continue to read

US Election 2020: What is fracking and why is it being discussed so much
The debate on fracking is a decade long one: a central conversation point in the larger discourse around climate change and also a major policy difference between Biden and Trump.
Oct 25 - In the third presidential debate that took place on Thursday, US President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden were at loggerheads once again on the issue of fracking. This is not the first time that fracking has been discussed in this election cycle.
Here’s everything you need to know about the issue:
What is fracking?
Fracking is the technology that allows oil and gas to be extracted from shale rock using a specific technique called horizontal hydraulic fracturing in which drillers bore through thousands of feet of earth to reach the shale. Then the drill bits are turned horizontally deeper into the ground in search of oil and gas. After this, water is shot at the rock at a high speed and oil and gas molecules flow out of the cracks...
...Biden has promised his ‘Build Back Better’ plan that focuses on renewable forms of energy and creating jobs through them and has called for a limited ban on fracking which means ending the use of federally controlled lands for fracking. On the other hand, President Trump rejects the concept of any ban and has held the idea that he is protecting the oil and coal jobs through his stand. continue to read
