The Wheelhouse: Pols Return From Covid, Debates Roll On

The debate was sponsored by WCSU, The League of Women Voters chapters of Northern Fairfield County and Litchfield County and The Danbury News-Times.
A fifth Congressional District debate was held online October 5, 2020 with Rep. Jahana Hayes, David X. Sullivan, and Bruce Walczak.

Donald Trump is back at the White House following his hospitalization with coronavirus. But did some aspects of the president's return send the wrong message about coronavirus?

Given the ages of both candidates for president, maybe we should pay a little more attention to tonight’s vice presidential debate.

We will also check in on the initial Fifth Congressional District debate.  After recovering from COVID-19, Congresswoman Jahana Hayes faced off with former prosecutor David Sullivan.
