Completely Missed This -- VP Debate Tonight -- October 7, 2020

From social media:

I guess it's too late to try to find what network / station / network is hosting the debate. Already, according to social media, if the corona vaccine is released before January 20, 2021, Kamala Harris says she will not take it, and I suppose, recommending everyone follow her example. So, there you have it.

On the other hand, local channel #12 is re-airing the Cleveland Browns shellacking of the Dallas Cowboys.
