Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris will be separated by plexiglass at Wednesday night's debate, a source familiar with the preparations tells CNN, as the White House continues to be gripped by a coronavirus outbreak.

The commission, along with medical consultants at the Cleveland Clinic, made the decision on Monday after studying the airborne nature of the virus and as the number of positive cases in the White House continued to grow.

Despite a number of positive coronavirus tests at the White House and that Pence attended a Rose Garden event over a week ago that is widely seen as the genesis for the spread among several Trump aides and allies, the vice president has continued to test negative and the debate is moving ahead as planned.

The addition to the debate on Wednesday is the latest sign of how the ongoing coronavirus outbreak inside President Donald Trump's administration has reshaped the final month of the presidential campaign.

But the decision by the commission to enhance safety measures at Wednesday's debate was met with mockery from Pence's team.

"If Sen. Harris wants to use a fortress around herself, have at it," said Pence spokeswoman Katie Miller, who herself tested positive for coronavirus in May.

Presuming Pence doesn't test positive before then ...

Well, he might not tell anyone even if he did.

I'm happy with how she's doing.

Pence lies so very much.

Moderator needs to get serious.

Grading exams now. Y'all will keep me posted. Big Grin

Isn't it a rich irony, however, that the head of the coronavirus task force is debating about the administration's magnificent response, six months later, thought two layers of plexiglas.

He constantly goes over time...I got the feeling that having a woman moderator gives him some sort of permission as a man..He has talked over both Harris and the moderator... Mad

Why doesn't she strategically return the favor. Not hard to do.

I think most people who have a brain, and who aren't southern While evangelical "Trump is chosen" would get the point. Exactly what vote would she lose by interrupting him in an obvious tit-for-tat way, perhaps even noting to the absent moderator that she was reclaiming a little time that way

Good lord. Do I have to start moderating these debates myself?

Men do not get to talk over me unless they are wearing a black robe.

I think the meme will be how he won't shut up. It is constant.
