Merav Ben-DavidCompte certifié

Lummis argues it contains $1T unrelated to COVID. Supports a refill for PPP, getting money for the "warp speed" effort for vaccines. Also supports an addition $1,200 payment to individuals -- what the president supported several days ago.

Ben David: "I would like to know what that $1T is going to fund." Said it includes money for families, small businesses, and state governments. "That is why passing this bill as soon as possible is crucial for Wyoming."

We're now into an open format portion, where the candidates get to talk about whatever they'd like. 45 seconds each. (This is new.)

Lummis highlights that Ben David was endorsed by Elizabeth Warren, who supports GND, Single Payer, and "higher taxes." "Why are these the right policies for Wyoming?" she asked.

Ben David highlights Warren's work after the Great Recession. Says she doesn't support Medicare for All, but a single payer system (I got that wrong, my bad.) to get healthcare to all. "That is something Wyomingites don't have currently."

Lummis now talking about Amy Coney Barrett and SCOTUS. Says she's the "ideal" person, a constitutional conservative judge who will keep their mind on the fundamentals. (No question, more of a statement.) Ben David now throwing the Merrick Garland issue at her.

Notes that Lummis said that Americans "can see through political games," and that the situation was "tough luck" for those who were not in power. "Is that how you're going to work across the aisle?" Ben David asks.

Lummis, in response: "Elections really do have consequences. It really does make a difference. I'm not saying we should all go along with one another all the time just because we're in power or not in power."
