Gerald Seib: “Donald Trump was elected president in 2016 in part because he understood a few big things about the country’s mood, and stayed focused on them.”
“In similar fashion, Joe Biden leads in 2020 because he has bored in on two big themes that turn out to have broad resonance: The country is ready to unify rather than divide, and the coronavirus is, as he might say, a really big deal.”
