SALT LAKE CITY:Debat pertama calon naib presiden Mike Pence dengan pesaingnya Senator Kamala Harris dilihat berlangsung dalam suasana 'berjaga-jaga'.
Kedua-dua calon dalam debat yang berlangsung di University of Utah, Salt Lake City itu dipisahkan penghadang plexiglass pada jarak 3.6 meter.
Langkah ini berikutan kebimbangan calon debat yang mungkin terdedah kepada COVID-19 selepas insiden Donald Trump yang disahkan positif sejurus debat calon presiden.
Pun begitu, Pusat Kawalan dan Pencegahan Penyakit (CDC) Amerika Syarikat mengesahkan Pence selamat untuk menyertai sesi debat calon naib presiden kerana beliau tidak mempunyai kontak rapat dengan mana-mana individu yang disahkan positif, termasuk Trump.
Bebarapa ujian saringan COVID-19 yang dilakukan ke atas Pence mendapati beliau negatif jangkitan dan tidak berisiko.
Debat itu dikendalikan Ketua Biro Washington USA Today, Susan Page.
Difahamkan, Pence kali terakhir bersama Trump pada sidang media perkembangan COVID-19 di Rose Garden pada Isnin lalu.
Terdahulu, Pence didakwa tidak bersetuju penghadang plexiglass itu ditempatkan di bahagiannya.
Namun beliau akhirnya akur dengan langkah itu yang dilihat sebagai tindakan berjaga-jaga.
Kamala merupakan calon Naib Presiden AS wanita yang pertama dalam sejarah negara itu.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?
Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
