Should Nancy call all the Democrats back to Washington?

Or continue to let them campaign in their masks? People want to keep their seats.

In my opinion, they should be back in Washington. If for nothing else, to develop a strategy for the upcoming election. They should develop plans for post-election.

She should get a caucus vote to see how many of her members would be willing to vote for a second impeachment?

What should they do if they strengthen control in the House and take control of the US Senate? But, Donald Trump steals another election?

Can be done remotely and I’m guessing much of it is being done.

there are 2 months between the elections and when the new Congress comes in.

Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on actually winning the elections first and then planning for post elections ?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic nominee Joe Biden's transition team has signed a memorandum of understanding with President Donald Trump's General Services Administration to begin planning for a potential handover of power.

Biden's team signed the memo with the General Services Administration Thursday, according to the agency. The document is required under the Presidential Transition Act and formalizes how the federal government will go about assisting Biden's transition team ahead of Election Day.

Formal federal support for presidential transition teams was first put into practice in 2012 in an effort to ensure presidential candidates are prepared to assume the White House should they win the election
