LAS VEGAS (AP) \u2014 Joe Biden says he\u2019s \u201cnot running on the false promises of being able to end this pandemic by flipping a switch\u201d but would immediately prioritize science if elected. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is using the race\u2019s final days to keep up a whirlwind campaign schedule aimed at focusing on anything but the coronavirus. The Democratic presidential nominee tried to keep the attention on health care, arguing that a Supreme Court conservative majority stretched to 6-3 by newly confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett could dismantle the Obama administration\u2019s signature health law and leave millions with preexisting conditions devoid of coverage. He said Trump\u2019s handling of the pandemic was an \u201cinsult\u201d to its victims.<\/p>\n

Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security says in a tweet: \u201cDonald Trump is a man without character. It\u2019s why I wrote \u2018A Warning\u2019\u201d Taylor has been an outspoken critic of Trump\u2019s in recent months, and he has a contributor contract on CNN. Taylor\u2019s anonymous essay was published in 2018 by The New York Times, infuriating the president and setting off a frantic White House leak investigation to try to unmask the author.<\/p>\n

ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Millions of mail ballots have yet to be returned in key battleground states just days before the presidential election. That’s according to data collected by The Associated Press. Officials warn that time is running out for voters who want to avoid a polling place on Election Day. AP research shows that at least 35 million mail ballots had been returned or accepted as of early Wednesday. But millions more remain outstanding in Pennsylvania, Florida and other states. Election officials urge voters who have not returned their ballots to avoid the Postal Service and instead use drop boxes or deliver ballots directly to local election offices.<\/p>\n

DES PLAINES, Ill. (AP) \u2014 Lawyers for two Black people who were shot by suburban Chicago police say police video shows their bullet-riddled car but not the shooting and that some of what was released suggests the officer who opened fire was scrambling to justify his actions. Marcellis Stinnette was killed and his girlfriend, Tafara Williams, was wounded after a Waukegan police officer shot them in their car on Oct. 20. Attorney Benjamin Crump says it appears that the officer had his body camera off during key moments. Williams says Stinnette was badly wounded and still breathing after the shooting, but the only help he received from police was a blanket. The officer who shot the couple was fired last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
