America isn’t certain about who will win the election this year. Of course, four years ago, supporting trump was controversial.

More than 675,000 absentee ballots have been returned in Ohio, nearly double the figure at the same point four years ago. More than 2 million voters have already cast their ballots in North Carolina, a state where Trump tried to raise doubts about the legitimacy of early voting.

President Trump’s prospects depend on late and fundamental shifts in the dynamics of the race, including Joe Biden stumbling badly in debate and Trump exhibiting discipline on the virus.

This year Trump is putting his hopes in the kind of late surge that helped him beat Clinton in 2016 and is scheduling swing state rallies to try to build momentum, even though the events will put his supporters, and people they will meet later, at a higher risk of contracting Covid-19.

Trump has touted his own treatment for Covid-19 and has vowed to make the drugs he had widely available, though it is unclear whether or when that could happen. Trump has vowed to begin distribution of a Covid-19 vaccine by the end of the year and have 300 million doses by January 2021.

Biden plans to expand testing capability and access to PPE and to eventual treatment and vaccine. He wants to increase federal aid to state and local governments, schools and local businesses affected by the disease.

Biden would put $25 billion toward the manufacturing and distribution of an eventual vaccine.

Trump says we’ve rounded the corner on Coronavirus.
