CPD Approved Plexiglass and Distance for VP Debate


The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) has Approved Plans for Plexiglass to be used in, Wednesday’s Oct. 7th, Vice Presidential Debate amid Mounting Concerns about Coronavirus Transmission, at Kingsbury Hall at the University of Utah.

Plexiglass will be used as a Barrier between Vice President Mike Pence and California Sen. Kamala Harris, as well as between the Two Candidates and Moderator Susan Page.

The Plans have the support of the Cleveland Clinic, which is Helping to set Health Protocols for the Forums amid the Pandemic.

The Pence and Harris Teams have been Negotiating the Terms of the Debate in recent days. Following Friday’s news that Trump had Contracted Covid-19, the Debate Commission decided to move the Two Candidates Seats from seven feet to 13 feet Apart.

But the two Camps were Split over whether to Erect a Plexiglass Barrier, Harris' Campaign Supported it, Pence's Opposed it.

“If Sen. Harris wants to use a fortress around herself, have at it,” said Katie Miller, a Pence Spokeswoman.

It isn’t the First Time Plexiglass has been used in a Debate in recent days: During a Weekend Debate between Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham and Democratic Challenger Jaime Harrison, Harrison put a Plexiglass Barrier between himself and the Incumbent.

Some Democrats have Expressed Fear that Trump may have been Contagious during his Debate with Former Vice President Joe Biden last week, though the Democratic Candidate has since Tested Negative.
