HEADS UP:
@TeamTrump
is holding a press call on the
@debates
commission at 3:30.

Doesn't seem like something you'd do unless you're going to pull out of the last two debates.






Will he or won't he?

Former campaign rivals join forces in Florida to defeat Trump

The effort to defeat Trump in Florida and mobilize the Hispanic vote for former Vice President Joe Biden has led to some strange bedfellows.

An anti-Trump political committee, The Lincoln Project, run by current and former Republicans, announced Monday it has joined with three Democrat-leaning groups to target Hispanic voters and counter the messaging of the president’s campaign.

The team of former rivals includes Mi Familia Vota, UnidosUS Action Fund and Nuestro PAC, which was founded by Bernie Sanders' former political adviser, Chuck Rocha. The four groups will host a bipartisan virtual town hall on Wednesday as part of their voter mobilization effort and multi-media marketing campaign.

Although Biden maintains an advantage among Hispanic voters across the country, in Florida the margin is in the low single digits according to recent polls, as Cuban-American voters have coalesced in support of Trump. Madrid said his previous work with more conservative Latinos will help fill the gaps with segments of Latino communities in Florida who might not see the appeal of Trump’s attacks on Biden, but who have not historically seen their interests represented in the Democratic Party.

Joe Scarborough just called this a colossal waste of the American people's time

This is a colossal waste of the American people’s time. If they are not going to cut his mic so we can have an exchange of ideas, then Biden should not attend any more debates,

Hey
@JoeBiden
, don’t put up with this bullshit. Walk off the stage.



https://twitter.com/JoeNBC/status/1311125116705792001?s=20

It’s an amazing thing, isn’t it? When Joe Biden is allowed to speak for two minutes he does well. It’s a shame there are no rules being applied to this debate.

I’ve seen and written about more debates than just about anybody.

And I can’t put up with much more of this.

Trump’s strategy is NONSTOP INTERRUPTION, and Chris Wallace is letting him do it.

This is a travesty.

You know what suburban women love? A bully who is constantly interrupting.

multiple Dems have texted, unprompted, on this point in the last few mins. Says one: "You know what suburban women love? A bully who is constantly interrupting."


Trump is forcing an unwatchable debate, in which he plays the heel so Biden can't get in a full answer, in an election where he's down 10 points. It's an insane strategy.

Biden just told him to shut up!

What a shitshow! Joe's doing a good job. I probably would have walked off the stage by now. I want a Biden t-shirt that says "will you shut up, man?"

Census workers say they've been told to wrap it up

https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1311040660338810882?s=20


The fight over the Trump admin's effort to end census field ops early keeps getting messier — a judge blocked the admin from ending it 9/30, Commerce then said it'll end 10/5, and census workers have emailed the court saying they've been told to wrap it up

https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1311041168063557635?s=20

The judge has ordered the parties to file a response addressing the emails from census workers by tomorrow at 8am PDT

Now Rudy's accusing Biden of snorting Adderall to get ready for tonight's debate

https://twitter.com/AndrewFeinberg/status/1310915472708247558


.
@RudyGiuliani
is simultaneously claiming that
@JoeBiden
has 8/10 dementia symptoms and is relying on adderall to remember things.

According to ex-Apprentice crew member
@CaslerNoel
,
@realDonaldTrump
regularly abused adderall as a “maintenance high.”


Adderall always trends on Twitter whenever Trump makes a speech. I wonder if he'll have chunks flying out of his nose tonight.
