It’s four days until Election Day. The beginning of the week in Washington was a busy one, with the Senate in session to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. She was sworn in shortly after the Senate voted.

The latter half of the week saw action heat up across the country, and our photo staff got out on the campaign trail to cover some of it.

Here’s the entire week in photos:
