Good morning! 

Welcome back to Breakfast Club. 

It's the endgame of the 2020 election cycle with Americans heading to the polls amid the triple jeopardy of viral pandemic, crippling recession, and environmental catastrophe.

Each prop has detailed summaries, plus quick quizzes and 60-second video breakdowns.
