Get Ready for a Campaign Unlike Any Other

Jeff Greenfield: “The chaos around Wisconsin’s primary last week has raised the level of concern about November’s Election Day to Defcon-1 status. Will Republican legislators in key states block efforts to expand mail-in voting, and force people to stand in line together? Will we be clear enough of the virus for polling places to operate at all? Will Democrats sue and send the whole thing to the courts?”

“And for the 200-day stretch of campaign that still stands between now and November 5, it has also brought home a stark new reality. Though the primary has followed a largely traditional path, it is now clear that long before we hit November, campaigns will be in totally uncharted waters.”

“The coronavirus pandemic poses challenges to the candidates and their operative unlike any ever seen or even anticipated.”
