Outside spending in all 2020 contests totals a record $2.5 billion with 11 days to go before Election Day. In addition to outraising Trump, Biden is benefiting more from these big-money groups, which can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections.

The Senate went into a rare but brief closed session Friday, as Democrats sought to delay the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

 

“I believe the Senate majority is on the precipice of making a colossal and historic mistake by rushing this nomination through the Senate only eight days before a national election,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Before we go any further, we should shut off the cameras, close the Senate and talk face-to-face about what this might mean for the country.”

 

The Senate needed to take a roll call vote to move out of the closed-door session, though the vote was not be public. Senators were in the private session for about 20 minutes.

 

The Democrats' move is the latest act of protest in their opposition to Barrett’s confirmation. Democrats also boycotted a Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Thursday to advance her nomination to the floor and have forced a series of procedural votes throughout the week. But Democrats do not have the procedural tools to stop the nomination altogether from going forward.

Former Democratic congressman Barney Frank told Asia Times Thursday he expects a Biden administration might work to roll back some U.S. technology restrictions toward China.

 

"I think what you will probably see is an approach that says, Biden would be willing to make some changes if there were something in return," Frank said when asked whether Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would continue President Donald Trump's restrictions on Huawei.

 

Frank's predictions are in line with the stance of Biden's foreign-policy advisers toward China. A Washington Free Beacon report revealed the longstanding moderate strategy top Biden staffers have endorsed regarding China, with some calling for pulling back U.S. support for Taiwan in the face of China's territorial ambitions for the island.
