The Issue Is: Senator Al Franken, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Carla Marinucci, and Melanie Mason

With roughly a month until election day, the last week in politics has been another like no other. On Saturday, President Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court to fill the seat left vacant by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Then, On Tuesday, President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden met in Ohio for the first Presidential debate, a debate that quickly made headlines as it devolved into shouting, interruptions, and name-calling. As if those two events weren’t enough, late Thursday night, President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and a number of White House staffers began testing positive for COVID-19. By Friday, the President was moved to Walter Reed Medical Hospital for further observation. To break down the historic week, Elex Michaelson is joined on The Issue Is by Dr. Drew Pinsky, reporters Carla Marinucci and Melanie Mason, and former Minnesota Senator Al Franken.
