Coronavirus Could Severely Limit Campaigning

The coronavirus outbreak could change the way the presidential campaign is run, Politico reports.

“Think sickly field organizers, restrictions on staff travel (candidates can charter their own planes), and rallies no one wants to attend.”

Said Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf: “There’s been nothing like this. We’re going to go through a period, obviously, where public health officials and experts are going to say no shaking hands, no public contact … We may be witnessing an era where television, or more so, social media, becomes the means to campaign in a coronavirus world.”
