Abstract

President Trump has been criticised increasingly for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen the US become one of the worst affected countries. In this Q&A, Thomas Gift explains that Donald Trump has reason to be concerned about his flagging campaign and low poll numbers. At the same time, the 2020 race for the White House is far from over, and Trump’s Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, shouldn’t view his current lead as insurmountable.
