Six men face federal charges in a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer before the November 3rd election, in retaliation for Covid-19 restrictions the Democratic governor imposed on the state. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke today about the prospect of striking a broad Coronavirus stimulus deal, after President Donald Trump pulled out of talks earlier this week and called for stand-alone bills. Early voting has started in Arizona. Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris are set to meet voters and small business owners in Phoenix and Tempe. Plus, Covid’s second wave. Over the past seven days the U.S. has reported an average of about 45,200 new Covid-19 cases per day, which may get worse as temperatures get cooler and people head indoors.
