Description
Joe Biden has picked Sen. Kamala Harris to be his running mate. She is the first Black woman to be named to a major-party U.S. presidential ticket and potentially the first woman vice president if they win in November. Harris was seen as a safe choice as she has a national profile and experience with elected office, but it will remain to be seen if her experience as a prosecutor would be a benefit or a liability with some voters. Daniel Lippman, White House reporter at Politico, joins us for more on the announcement.
Next, as companies begin to resume operations while the pandemic continues to endure, many are hiring new executives as Chief Medical Officers in industries where they normally would not be. Tyson Foods and Royal Caribbean Cruises recently made the appointments because they need expert medical advice on how to keep employees and consumers safe. Patrick Thomas, reporter at the WSJ, joins us for more.
Finally, as the pandemic stretches on, many people are looking for places to go on vacation, and some are still risking going to traditional summer getaways despite them being coronavirus hotspots. Places like Florida, Nevada, and California are still the most searched travel destinations. Dian Zhang, data reporter at USA Today, joins us for how some Americans are visiting these virus hotspots anyway.
