NEWS THIS MORNING

Oh this should go over well. Swimmingly, even!:

House Democrats unveiled a bill this morning to create a 17-member panel to assess the presidents capacity to perform the job.https://bit.ly/3iST44p

Is the panel designed just for Trump?: Well, the commission would be permanent but is definitely a shot atPresident TrumpDonald John TrumpFederal judge shoots down Texas proclamation allowing one ballot drop-off location per county Nine people who attended Trump rally in Minnesota contracted coronavirus Schiff: If Trump wanted more infections 'would he be doing anything different?' MORE, whose capacities have been questioned amid his coronavirus treatment.

Pelosi told reporters this morning: "This is not about President Trump; he will face the judgment of the voters. But he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents."

Absolutely absurd. Again, right here in this last three weeks before the election, I think those kinds of wild comments should be largely discounted."

Chances of a coronavirus relief bill before the election? Unlikely:

Senate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell(R-Ky.) said a COVID-19 relief package passed before the Nov. 3 elections is unlikely.https://bit.ly/30R2dnF

In McConnells words: "I think the murkiness is a result of the proximity to the election, and everybody kind of trying to elbow for political advantage. I'd like to see us rise above that ... but I think that's unlikely in the next three weeks.

IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Trump can end his quarantine tomorrow:

White House physicianSean Conleysaid it is safe forPresident Trumpto return to public events, less than two weeks after being diagnosed with COVID-19.https://bit.ly/2SHBNAc

From Dr. Conley: Saturday will be day 10 since Thursdays diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the Presidents safe return to public engagements at that time.

Conley on Trumps health: Since returning home, his physical exam has remained stable and devoid of any indications to suggest progression of illness. Overall hes responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects.

The concern from health experts: Health experts questioned his assessment, noting that patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms can be infectious for longer than 10 days.

Getting traction What the White House says about the presidents last negative COVID-19 test:

Reaction from Bloombergs White House correspondent Justin Sink: I honestly don't understand what conclusion we're supposed to draw here other than that trump wasn't tested before the debate in possible violation of the rules.https://bit.ly/3lrVecM

And from CNNs Jake TapperJacob (Jake) Paul TapperThe Hill's 12:30 Report: Dems ruffle feathers with POTUS fitness bill The Hill's 12:30 Report: White House COVID-19 outbreak widens Biden adviser: 'We are not concerned, because we are being safe' MORE: The only logical reason to stonewall this much is because the actual answer is even more damaging There is a compelling public health reason to disclose when the president who we were told was tested daily last tested negative. He potentially exposed countless people at the WH, in Ohio, Minnesota, and New Jersey to the virus.https://bit.ly/36PnG4o

LATEST WITH THE DEBATES

I suppose it is tough to socially distance in an actual wrestling match:

Via The HillsPeter SullivanandAmie Parnes, An extended back-and-forth between the campaigns threw the presidential debate schedule into chaos Thursday, raising the question: Will there even be another debate?https://bit.ly/2IeB9bB

The major complication:President Trumps COVID-19 diagnosis.

Yeah, but it goes further than that: In addition to the safety concerns, there is also a political standoff between the two campaigns, with a fight over the dates and settings of the two remaining debates.

The gist of what happened: The Commission on Presidential Debates made Oct. 15s debate virtual. The Trump campaign then pulled out and called for the debates to be pushed a week Oct. 22 and Oct. 29. The Biden campaign then rejected that idea, saying it was Trumps decision whether to debate on Oct. 15.

ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL

Dems are winning the early voting race:

Via The HillsReid Wilson, A surge in absentee ballots cast in states across the country is handing Democrats an early advantage heading into Election Day amid signs that the partys vote-by-mail focus is turning out regular and new voters alike.https://bit.ly/36MFCfO

The total number of ballots returned: More than 6 million Americans have already voted in 27 states for Novembers general election, according to data released by states that have begun accepting ballots.

Breaking that down by party: Registered Democrats have returned 1.4 million ballots, more than twice the 653,000 ballots registered Republicans have returned so far, according toMichael McDonald, a political scientist at the University of Florida who analyzes early voting.

IN CONGRESS

Exclusive foreign influence is a leetle more expansive than we thought:

Via The HillsOlivia Beavers, Director of National Intelligence John RatcliffeJohn Lee RatcliffeHillicon Valley: Twitter tightens rules before election | Intelligence chief briefed lawmakers on foreign influence threats | Democrats launch inquiry into Pentagon's moves on a national 5G network The Hill's 12:30 Report: Dems ruffle feathers with POTUS fitness bill The Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by Facebook - Debate chaos as Trump balks at virtual format MORE held closed-door briefings last month, informing both the House and the Senate on the expansive foreign influence campaigns that are targeting Congress.https://bit.ly/30QTgL5

What we know: Ratcliffe gave ballpark estimates of how many lawmakers have been targeted, suggesting it is from the dozens to roughly 50. But in the briefings, he declined to identify which members of Congress were the targets and he did not indicate if one party was being more heavily targeted than the other.
