0:00.0 | Welcome to the ticket. I'm Isaac Dauver, joining you again from home. Life in |
0:18.1 | 2020 is very different than we all expected and the presidential race is no |
0:22.4 | exception. I thought I'd be chasing |
0:24.6 | candidates around the country and instead the trail has gone quiet. I don't know |
0:29.3 | when the next campaign event will be like a campaign event that would have made sense in any kind of way before the last few |

1:34.0 | vice presidential candidate for Joe Biden, which makes sense. She's a popular |
1:38.3 | female governor from a key swing state. President Trump's attention to her hasn't got unnoticed. |
1:44.1 | Folks in Michigan have turned that woman from Michigan into a slogan. She even wore it on a |
