Politics: Virtual Campaigns During COVID-19, Mail-In Voting, And Joe Biden's Running Mate
Description
President Donald Trump has ramped up attacks against mail-in voting, while more states make the option available in order to allow for social distancing and to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Local campaigns, including the hotly contested Senate race between Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Joe Kennedy III, try to get voters' attention — virtually. And who will be former Vice President Joe Biden’s soon-to-be-announced running mate?
It’s a full hour of insight and analysis from the Mass Politics Profs.
