The News Roundup — Domestic (The 1A) 2020-09-25

Some 200,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19. But White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany responded by saying that number paled in comparison to the 2 million deaths some doctors on the administration’s task force were predicting.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he believes that he has the votes to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court despite President Donald Trump’s nominee for the seat not having even been announced.
