Presidential Debate 2020

 The 2020 Election Race

It is Monday, Sept 28. The next election is in 35 days and coming quickly. With the huge support both sides are getting, we could be in for an interesting and competitive election year.


2020 has been a drama filled year with everything that has been going on with the issues of coronavirus, wildfires, and the looting and burning of cities. With these factors in play, it has kinda taken everyone's minds off the election that we will have. 


According to a Times/Siena poll, Joe Biden has a 49% lead to president to Trump's 41%. For this to happen, Biden would have to win one of President Trump's last states he won in his election race with Hillary Clinton. To make a difference, they would have to be a largely populated state that he won last election such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Louisiana, Texas, Ohio, Florida, Etc. 


Most national polls have Biden over Trump. Last election, Hillary Clinton had more national polls and had 3 million more votes than Trump. But Trump won electoral college, and having more votes won't always mean you win the election. Most Republicans believe that this will happen again like it did last election. 


On Tuesday, September 29, Trump and Biden will have their first presidential debate. Both have agreed to try and keep the debate as peaceful as they possibly can. With so much to talk about, I think that we can all agree that it is going to be an interesting debate!

Students Get Used to Our COVID-19 Rules By: Alina Prykazka This year at Bishop Foley Catholic High School students and teachers finally arrive back at school, but with new rules and challenges to face. Everyone in the building has to wear a mask, as social distance in the hallways and in classrooms.  While eating lunch in the cafeteria, only 1-3 students are allowed at each lunch table. Surely, it must be difficult for staff and students to interact with each other with these masks covering their mouth and nose, while also maintaining a good 4-6 feet away from each person.  Sometimes change is difficult to adjust to. Some students and teachers say they have a hard time breathing in the masks, others work just fine with it. Some people have a hard time hearing others, when the other person is wearing a mask. You can not see their lip movements, which means you have to understand them only based on hearing. Of course, teachers Mrs. Cleghorn and Mrs. Petty have thought ahead ...

80’s, 90’s, & 00’s Movies Are Coming Back

  The best decades are officially coming back! The fashion, music, and even the fame of older celebrities in their prime.
