.
One topic that is likely to play a role: The nomination of devout Catholic
Amy Coney Barrett
as constitutional judge, which was approved by the Judicial Committee of the
US Senate
on Thursday
.
She had previously been selected by US President Donald Trump.
Many
Democrats
criticize the
fact that the new appointment could take place before the
election on November 3rd
.
This would increase the conservative majority in the
US Supreme Court
.
Some Democrats have already called for the court to be expanded in the future.
Joe Biden has not yet taken a clear position on the issue.
In an interview with
CBS News
scheduled to air on Sunday, which the
New York Times
(text behind a pay gate) reports, Biden said he would, as president,
set up
a
non-partisan commission of scholars to
investigate possible innovations at the court should.

The

wrote
that he wanted to
express
his own views on the whole issue before the big
election day

Maybe the right moment will come up for him tonight.
First report from October 22nd, 9.30 a.m .:
Nashville / USA - The first
TV duel
before the
US presidential election *
ended in a real mud fight.

US election 2020: Donald Trump and Joe Biden face each other in a second TV duel
One and a half weeks before the
US presidential election
,
Trump
and his opponent
will face each other
on Thursday at 8 p.m. local time (Friday 3 a.m. CEST) in their second television duel in
Nashville
,
southern Tennessee
.
There
are strict rules
for the second and last
TV duel
.
The microphone of one
candidate is
temporarily muted when the other
candidate
speaks.
The trigger for this new regulation is the chaotic and interrupted first TV debate in early
October
.
While
Donald Trump
continually
interrupted
his challenger and was even reprimanded several times,
Joe Biden
insulted
the
US President
as a "clown" among other things.
The runner-up candidates Kamala Harris and Mike Pence * also faced each other in a TV duel in the meantime.
While Trump and Biden hadn't covered each other with fame, Harris and Pence were at least a little more orderly - although Pence repeatedly cut off his opponent's word.
US election 2020: After a chaotic debate - rule change before the second TV duel
As a result, the commission responsible for organizing the
debates
announced that the
rules would be tightened.
As usual, three television duels between the
presidential candidates were
planned
this year
.
A debate scheduled for mid-October was canceled after Trump's
corona infection
.
An initially planned TV duel through a video broadcast was also canceled.
Instead, Trump and Biden stepped in front of the cameras separately and asked questions.
The
incumbent
is less than two weeks before the election on November 3 in the polls behind his challenger from the opposition
Democrats
.
