Good morning. As the COVID-19 pandemic takes a toll on life in America, our team at Future Majority is tracking the latest updates: 

Today is the last day of economic relief talks before the election:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said for days now that today would be the last day the House would consider a negotiated economic relief package before the November 3rd election.

The Future Majority team has been tracking the latest here.

A major case against big tech has been brought:

The Justice Department announced that it would accuse Google of maintaining an illegal monopoly over search features and search advertising in the first antitrust lawsuit against a big tech company in over 20 years.

The Department will argue that Google made agreements with phone manufacturers using their operating system to preload Google’s search engine on such phones, thus making it difficult for competitors' search engines to be otherwise used. The outcome of the suit could have major ripple effects on the entire tech industry. 

Three incredibly close polls in three states:

The Sun Belt states of Florida, Georgia and North Carolina will be ones to watch in the November 3rd election. Three different polls have each of those states at the incredibly narrow margin of 1 point between former Vice President Joe Biden and President Trump.
