Looks like Texas is now on play. Trump won there I believe by 8% in 2016. From Breitbart no less:

Unraveling in comrade deblasio land –
The New York City Police Benevolent Association, the city’s largest police union, released a statement Monday arguing that officers should not be tasked with enforcing social distancing ordinances.
“The NYPD needs to get cops out of the social distancing enforcement business altogether,” PBA president Patrick Lynch said in a statement. “As the weather heats up & the pandemic continues to unravel our social fabric, police officers should be allowed to focus on our core public safety mission. If we don’t, the city will fall apart before our eyes.”
The city’s police force has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, with over 4,000 officers testing positive for the illness and 30 dead over the course of the outbreak. In early April, almost 20 percent of the entire 36,000-strong police force was on sick leave for coronavirus or other illnesses.

Here’s one of the women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct and here is his response:
Jessica Leeds told the New York Times in October 2016 that Trump reached his hand up her skirt and groped her while seated next to her on a flight in the late 1970s.
“He was like an octopus. His hands were everywhere,” Leeds said, adding that she fled to the back of the plane.
During an interview on NBC News’ “Megyn Kelly Today” in December, Leeds added that she was at a gala in New York three years after the incident on the plane when she ran into Trump, who recognized her and called her a c—.
“He called me the worst name ever,” she said. “It was shocking. It was like a bucket of cold water being thrown over me.”
Trump’s response:
Trump denied the allegations and during a rally in October 2016, suggested that Leeds wasn’t attractive enough for him to assault.
“People that are willing to say, ‘Oh, I was with Donald Trump in 1980, I was sitting with him on an airplane, and he went after me,’” Trump said. “Believe me, she would not be my first choice.”

JERUSALEM, May 4 (Reuters) – Israel has isolated a key coronavirus antibody at its main biological research laboratory, the Israeli defence minister said on Monday, calling the step a “significant breakthrough” toward a possible treatment for the COVID-19 pandemic.
The “monoclonal neutralising antibody” developed at the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) “can neutralise it (the disease-causing coronavirus) inside carriers’ bodies,” Defence Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement.
The statement added that Bennett visited the IIBR on Monday where he was briefed “on a significant breakthrough in finding an antidote for the coronavirus”.
It quoted IIBR Director Shmuel Shapira as saying that the antibody formula was being patented, after which an international manufacturer would be sought to mass-produce it.

My favorite part about Biden is that he’s an utterly pure play in backing the moneyed interests, stroking the pre-women is just an odd eccentricity. No other current Democrat can claim that. Remember all that talk about ‘Wall Street’ and the ‘banksters’ and evil billionaires? Forget about it.

Lisa Bloom? Isn’t that the lady who Kathy Griffin tore into for being more concerned with the spotlight and fame than representing Kathy and her interests…besides bad advice??
‘Lisa Bloom on Tara Reade’s Biden Allegations: ‘I believe you,’ But Still Voting For Biden’
“I believe you, Tara Reade,” Bloom said. “You have people who remember you told them about this decades ago. We know he is ‘handsy.’ You’re not asking for $. You’ve obviously struggled mightily with this. I still have to fight Trump, so I will still support Joe. But I believe you. And I’m sorry.”
Bloom continued her Twitter thread on Sunday, saying the “only alternative is Trump, credibly accused of sexual misconduct by over 20 women and who openly bragged about sexual assault. I represented 4 of them.”……….
“As with most allegations against Republicans, the word “credibly” is used no matter what. As The Hill’s John Solomon reported in December 2017, Bloom sought hefty payments for the women who either came forward against then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 or threatened to come forward. Bloom also tried to enrich herself off of those women.
“California lawyer Lisa Bloom’s efforts included offering to sell alleged victims’ stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accuser’s mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman who ultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000, the clients told The Hill,” Solomon reported. “The women’s accounts were chronicled in contemporaneous contractual documents, emails and text messages reviewed by The Hill, including an exchange of texts between one woman and Bloom that suggested political action committees supporting Hillary Clinton were contacted during the effort.”

You can follow the provided link to see all 25 names. thanks for your interest
“At least 25 women have made sexual misconduct allegations against Trump since the 1970s.
A deluge of women made their accusations public following the October 2016 release of the “Access Hollywood” tape, in which Trump was recorded boasting about grabbing women’s genitals in 2005. Some others made their stories public months before the tape’s release, and still others came forward in the months following.
Trump has broadly dismissed the allegations, which include ogling, harassment, groping, and rape, as “fabricated” and politically motivated accounts pushed by the media and his political opponents. He promised to sue all of his accusers during the 2016 election. In some cases, Trump and his lawyer have suggested that he didn’t engage in alleged behavior with certain women because they weren’t attractive enough for him to be interested in.
“Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,” the Republican nominee said during a 2016 rally. “Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”
The president said these “false allegations” against him were made by “women who got paid a lot of money to make up stories about me.” And then alleged that the “mainstream media” refused to report on evidence that the accusations were made up.
