- On Thursday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said she believes and is standing by Joe Biden.
Reuters reports that Pelosi gave a forceful defense of Biden.

“He is the personification of hope and optimism and authenticity for our country - a person of great values,”

- Members of the U.S. House of Representatives will not return to Washington next week as planned.
A top House Democrat said the decision was made due to the continuing risk of coronavirus infection.
According to Reuters, the move is a stark reversal of plans outlined just one day earlier.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he made the decision after discussing the risks with the official House physician.
“The House’s physician’s view was that there was a risk to members that we would not recommend taking.”

The decision comes as more and more states are pushing to re-open businesses and put people back to work.

- The 2020 Presidential election is just a few short months away.
Polls and analysis say that it is going to be a close election.
In a new analysis, The Hill's Joshua S. Sandman says Donald Trump is on the road to re-election.
According to his electoral math Trump will get 249 electoral votes and Joe Biden will get 248 electoral votes.
Three states will decide the race: Arizona (11 electoral votes), Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), and Wisconsin (10 Electoral votes).
The Hill says those states are toss-up states that Trump won in 2016.
"He has a good chance to win these states again in 2020."
Several factors work against Biden.
His debate performances have been subpar and incoherent.
Bernie Sanders supporters are not willing to vote for Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden's actions and ties to China will haunt the Biden campaign.
Trump's base is as loyal to him as ever.

- Trials are currently being conducted in New York on Famotidine, the active ingredient in Pepcid AC.
Researchers are investigating if the heartburn medication, in very large IV doses, could be a COVID-19 treatment.
According to Business Insider, researchers are quick to point out that there is no evidence yet that it is useful at all.
That lack of evidence, however, is not stopping people from hoarding the medication.
Walgreens, CVS, and on Amazon, have reported that most famotidine medications are in perilously low stock.
The famotidine that is being trialed is in much higher doses than available over the counter and is delivered intravenously.
