Here's what to know about the Biden, Trump competing town halls tonight

We're close to a SCOTUS confirmation 

Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation hearings finished Thursday, concluding four days of hearings as Republicans map out a clear path to placing her on the high court before Election Day. 

Barrett's confirmation requires approval by the majority of the committee and the full Senate, both of which are controlled by Republicans. 

The panel will meet once more – Thursday, Oct. 22 at 1 p.m. EDT – to officially vote on Barrett's confirmation. After the committee approves her nomination, which is likely to pass in a 12-10 party-line vote, the full Senate will consider her.

What else is going on?
