Summary

On today’s Sup pod, Amanda interviews Senator Tammy Duckworth about her efforts to address loopholes in the CARES Act, namely those that prevented families with newborns from accessing economic relief because the government didn’t know they existed yet. Duckworth, who became the first senator to give birth in office and is experiencing the pandemic with two small children, explains how her perspective improves policy made in a chamber of largely old, white men. Finally, they discuss the president’s misleading attacks on mail in voting, specifically how it could impact the nation’s veterans. Thanks to our sponsors! RoboKiller: Stop spam calls 2020.
