For any copyright, please send me a message. Senator Lindsey Graham and his Democratic challenger met in their first face-to-face matchup on Saturday with Jaime Harrison bringing his own plexiglass shield behind which to stand.Of his partition, Harrison said he was taking every precaution to keep himself and his loved ones safe. 'Tonight I am taking COVID seriously. That's why I put this plexiglass up. Because it's not just about me, it's about the people in my life that I have to care of as well: my two boys, my wife, my grandmother,' he said. 'We're not going to blame the president. We shouldn't blame the president for the inception of this disease. We shouldn't blame anybody for the inception of this disease, but where blame should come is how we handle this disease, whether or not we take it seriously.' , something the campaign said was used in accordance with federal recommendations that anyone in close contact with someone infected with COVID-19 should quarantine for 14 days.Both candidates say they tested negative Friday, but Graham has recently met with other Senate Republicans - several of whom have tested positive for the coronavirus - as well as with Trump, currently hospitalized with COVID-19. Graham did not appear to be taking any such safety precautions during the first of three debates in which he and Harrison are scheduled to debate.

And, it is my hope that @KamalaHarris does the same thing IF her debate is going to be in person. #WearAMask #BidenHarris2020,' wrote one Twitter user.'So proud! Can't wait to vote for him!!!' added another.Another user pleaded with Kamala Harris' team to do something similar at Wednesday's upcoming vice presidential debate in Utah.'I want Kamala team to pay close attention and get her a plexiglass for the debate... because She needs added protection... Remember Pence will not quarantine after potential exposure from the Trump Event that occurred several days ago....' they wrote.'It was a very smart move given how reckless Graham and his party are. and you only have to look at how quickly they've forgotten Herman Cain,' added another.'He deserves to be elected just for that alone. It shows just how seriously he takes this virus. That's what leaders do.' Graham and Harrison's debate also comes as the campaigns boast raising more than $30 million apiece throughout the race, and two recent surveys show the candidates in a dead heat. Two back-to-back Quinnipiac University polls have marked the candidates with matched support among likely voters. Harrison has been able to use polling to capitalize on bringing in even more cash, say
