That means the middle part of the headline, about CBS’ pending interview with Obama-era Vice President Joe Biden is next up.
For those who don’t follow politics closely, it is useful to know that the former VP has said that he won’t answer questions about this topic, then said he would answer after Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed. Now, it seems he is coming closer yet to shedding light on a hot topic for millions.
Norah O’Donnell “presses Joe Biden on his position on Supreme Court reform,” says CBS’ 60 Minutes YouTube video teaser page. That video is posted below.
This has been a question that both Biden and his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris (CA-D), have been dodging for weeks.
The reasons this matters to industry professionals, and all others, is summed up in the insight by manufactured home attorney Kurt Kelley.
First, it must be noted that Democrats have admitted that they aren’t as far up in the polls as the Real Clear Politics (RCP) averages suggest. Additionally the Trafalgar group poll, which was among the most accurate in 2016, believes that President Trump is ahead in several battle ground states, despite what other polls say. Put differently, this election is going to be decide by those voters who turn out for their favored candidate, or for the candidate that the find better than the alternative.
If Democrats swept the White House, Senate, and House, as some say may happen, and then the Supreme Court gets packed – more justices are added that will back the Biden-Harris agenda – and is politicized, then a normal check for the rights of citizens and businesses would be lost.

The evidence is mounting about Biden family corruption, as a report linked below reflects.
While all three branches of the federal government matters, GOP keeping control of the Senate as well as the White House are arguably more important than ever for the interests of the rule of law. More on that in the report linked below.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
‘Look at the Message, Not the Messenger,’ HUD Secretary Ben Carson said to right-of-center Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “We Want People…to have choice.”
The choice that they want people to have is a choice in housing.
President Trump wants your sons and daughters in school and learning. He wants you to be free to work for your family. || #IngrahamAngle https://t.co/2p4jjQwGer
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) October 21, 2020
Ben Carson, M.D., blasted Democratic Presidential nominee and former Obama-era VP Joe Biden’s plan for American suburbs.
HUD Secretary Carson told Laura Ingraham on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ that rolling back Obama-era regulation “is about local control, federalism.” That nuanced statement may cut various ways when it come to manufactured housing related policies.
Secretary Carson sounded the alarm Tuesday over VP Biden’s plan to reinstall an Obama-era low-income housing regulation that the Trump administration rolled back in July 2020.
The 2015 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing regulation required local jurisdictions to assess and address racial and economic disparities in suburbs across the country, said the Fox report. The Trump Administration suspended the rule, prompting immediate backlash from the left over what they perceived as an affront to racial equality.
“The left brings everything back to identity politics,” Carson said. “But the fact of the matter is, what the president is talking about here is local control, federalism. I get to visit all kinds of communities all over the country all the time. And there are beautiful mixed-income and … mixed-use complexes but it’s under local control. People have an opportunity to discuss it, to decide where they want to put things, and that’s the way the United States of America was designed.”
“We want people to be able to have choice,” Carson added. “They can stay where they are, they can move, but let the people be the ones who make the decisions. That doesn’t mean we are backing off of civil rights. We have a strong record in civil rights.”
The AFFH policy rollback has become a focus of the campaign as Trump aims for more support among suburban women.
The “suburban housewife” will be voting for me. They want safety & are thrilled that I ended the long running program where low income housing would invade their neighborhood. Biden would reinstall it, in a bigger form, with Corey Booker in charge! @foxandfriends @MariaBartiromo
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2020
Carson acknowledged that while his communication style drastically differs from that of the president, “we need to be talking about the message and not the messenger.” That is clearly a message to those who don’t care for the president’s tweets or personality, but who – if they looked at policies and results – would benefit or approve of what they see there.
“Look at the big picture. Look at the future of our children and our grandchildren and what kind of country we want to live in. What are the principles we espouse?” Dr. Carson said. “Forget about who is saying it …
“It’s not what America is about. America is about freedom. It’s the reason people came here in the first place. It’s the reason it’s a destination place for people all over the world right now. People form caravans to get in here. That would not be happening if we were this horrible place that people characterize us as. It’s about freedom of choice.”
Dr. Carson has been a strong advocate of manufactured housing, as the quotes above and below reflect.
