We expect to hear about National Security from colin powell in the second hour and likely very emotional speech from doctor joe biden speaking about her husband. We will wrap up all of this and we want to get you right to that virtual rollcall. Workers are dying from covid 19 and a lot of us dont have paid sick leave work quality protective equipment. We are human beings and not disposable. We want to keep helping and we need a president who will have our back. Nebraska cast 33 votes for joe biden. Working people are the backbone of our economy and the key to our recovery.

I am proud to cast 24 votes for Berni
