Obama Appoints Transgender Political Activist As Advisor

Lewis Black appeared on The Daily Show with a special commentary about undecided voters with less than three weeks until Election Day. Basically, whatever their excuse is, just sit this one out.

“Donald Trump on Friday dismissed more questions about whether he would release his current medical records, doubling down on refusing to provide a health update even as Kamala Harris works to sow doubts about his fitness for the presidency,” CNBC reports. “The 78-year-old Republican nominee, when asked if he will release his health records, suggested that he has already shared enough information about his medical status.” Axios: Harris questions Trump’s fitness for president over “exhaustion” and event cancellations.
