Both presidential candidates are participating in competing town hall events tonight, set to be televised at the same time. This is after the president refused to participate in a planned virtual debate. Former Vice President Joe Biden is raising record amounts of cash for the final push to Election Day. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has finished testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and appears to be on track to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A new jump in coronavirus cases pushes the total number of infected Americans to nearly eight million since the pandemic began. That includes more than 680,000 infections reported in the past two weeks. Europe is having its worst COVID outbreak since April, with an average of more than 70,000 new cases a day over the past two weeks.
