Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris delivers a campaign speech in Washington, Aug. 27, 2020, hours before the conclusion of the Republican National Convention. "The Republican Convention is designed for one purpose: to soothe Donald Trump's ego. To make him feel good. Well here's the thing -- he's the president of the United States. And it's not supposed to be about him. It's supposed to be about the health and the safety and the wellbeing of the American people," Harris said.
She ticked off a list of actions and inactions she said led to more Americans dying, such as Trump telling governors to secure their own equipment and praising China's response when the country wouldn't let American scientists in to study the virus. Drawing the differences between the Trump-Pence administration, she said a Biden-Harris administration would"put in place a nationwide mask mandate -- because in Joe's words, 'it's not a burden to protect each other.'"Notably, Biden has said in the past he supports mask mandates nationwide and would call on each governor to impose one as opposed to using presidential powers to do so.
