Vice President Mike Pence was cleared by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to partake in Wednesday night’s vice-presidential debate with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), an event that is shaping up to draw more attention due to President Donald Trump’s CCP virus diagnosis.

A memo from the CDC was released by Pence’s office this week, coming after President Trump and several White House officials tested positive for the virus. CDC Director Robert Redfield signed off on a memo saying that Pence doesn’t pose a public health risk to partake in the debate in Salt Lake City, Utah.
