Mike Pence
does not want plexiglass barriers around him at the vice presidential debate
against Kamala Harris, a top aide to the vice president told CNN, rebuffing an
announcement from the Commission on Presidential debates that the dividers
would be used to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
"We
have yet to hear medical evidence what the plexiglass is for," Pence's
chief of staff Marc Short told CNN.
The
plexiglass dividers, which were announced by the commission on Monday night,
were the latest in a string of changes made to ensure the virus is not spread
at the debate as the White House deals with a growing number of infections
inside Donald Trump's administration.
Physical
barriers like plexiglass are typically recommended when social distancing
cannot be maintained. The candidates will be separated by 12 feet on stage.
Masks are considered the best defense against both droplet and aerosolized
transmission of the virus.
