U.S. President Donald Trump participates in the first 2020 presidential campaign debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, held on the campus of the Cleveland Clinic at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, September 29, 2020. President Donald Trump said Monday that he will take a coronavirus test before his upcoming debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The two men are set to square off for their second and final debate Thursday evening at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Trump has claimed he does not remember whether he was tested for the virus on the day of the first debate, Sept. 29, in Cleveland. That debate occurred two days before Trump tested positive for Covid-19.

Funding for states has become a major stumbling block for the broader bill, with Republicans seeing it as a bailout for what they call badly managed and high-tax blue states. However, states headed by Democratic governors will receive $89 billion more than states headed by GOP governors. Using that metric, the average red state will receive about $1,066 per person, or $322 less per person than in the blue states. Four of them voted Democratic in 2016 and have Democratic governors; three voted Republican in 2016 and have Republican governors. A Trump administration official who asked not to be named focused on the breakdown by governor-led states in the CNBC analysis and called it "a bailout for poorly run blue states."

President Trump’s brief hospitalization for COVID-19 could raise the stakes for Wednesday’s debate between Vice President Mike Pence and California Sen. Kamala Harris. Historically, vice presidential debates — like an opening act ahead of the main event — have drawn significantly lower viewership. AdvertisementThere has never been a vice presidential debate that has decided the outcome of a presidential race. The exception, according to Pew, was in 2008 when more people watched the vice presidential debate between Biden and then-Alaska Gov. Some have even called for the Commission on Presidential Debates to do away with vice presidential debates entirely.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he's looking forward to next week's debate with former Vice President Joe Biden as scheduled. "I am looking forward to the debate on the evening of Thursday, October 15th in Miami," Trump wrote on his Twitter feed. The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment. The virus has killed more than 200,000 in the U.S.Should the debate move forward as planned, both Trump and Biden will answer questions from voters in Miami. A third presidential debate is scheduled for Oct. 22 at Belmont University in Nashville.

A source close to the Commission on Presidential Debates told NBC News that no final decisions have been made on the changes. The initial debate between Trump and Biden in Cleveland on Tuesday night quickly descended into disorder, with frequent name-calling and interruptions. Trump on several occasions resisted moderator Chris Wallace's admonitions to follow the rules and to allow the former vice president Biden to speak uninterrupted. "President Trump was the dominant force and now Joe Biden is trying to work the refs. Biden told reporters at a campaign event in Ohio that he supported the idea of making changes to the debate format.

Joe Biden and his party scored a huge fundraising windfall during and after Tuesday night's acrimonious debate with President Donald Trump. The Democratic fundraising website ActBlue processed close to $8 million between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Biden campaign officials told reporters late Tuesday they raised $3.8 million between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. through ActBlue, which they said was the site's one-hour record. As of early Wednesday, the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and a representative for GOP donation website WinRed had not announced fundraising hauls. During the debate, the candidates battled over issues ranging from the economy to the Trump and Biden families.

"Certain geographies where the public impact of the virus is highest have seen wait times sky rocket from 5 to 10 minutes to 60 to 70 minutes," he wrote.

The Cleveland Clinic says it has delivered the first baby in North America after a womb transplant from a dead donor. Uterine transplants have enabled more than a dozen women to give birth, usually with wombs donated from a living donor such as a friend or relative. In December, doctors in Brazil reported the world's first birth using a deceased donor's womb. These transplants were pioneered by a Swedish doctor who did the first successful one five years ago. The clinic has done five uterus transplants so far and three have been successful, with two women waiting to attempt pregnancy with new wombs.

The first patient in the U.S. to receive a uterus transplant in hopes of having a baby is recovering from the operation at the Cleveland Clinic. She spoke at a hospital news conference on March 7, 2016.
