Joshua Gonnie pauses for a photo Thursday, Oct. 29, 2020 in Phoenix. The 35-year-old registered Democrat voted for Donald Trump in 2016 partly because he was upset that Bernie Sanders wasn't the nominee. Also, as a Navajo man who grew up only seeing men lead tribal communities, Gonnie couldn't picture Hillary Clinton as president. This time, he voted for Joe Biden. He thinks the former vice-president would better serve Native Americans. (AP Photo/Terry Tang)

FILE - In this Thursday, July 9, 2020, file photo, Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey speaks about the latest coronavirus update in Arizona and benefits of wearing a mask during a news conference in Phoenix.

FILE - In this April 10, 2020, file photo, a pedestrian is reflected with a temporary closed sign in the window of a wax museum where a statue of Pope Francis is on display in San Antonio. For libertarians the very thought of massive government aid or the enforced closings of businesses is usually indefensible. But those beliefs can change in a time of crisis, like now. The spread of the coronavirus has renewed a long-running debate among libertarians over such core beliefs as private enterprise and individual autonomy. (AP Photo/Eric Gay, File)
