Deeper Look from New York

In less than 4 months, voters will cast their ballots for the next U.S. President. But with the on-going coronavirus pandemic, an economic downturn and the Black Lives Matter movement, the 2020 election looks like no other. Polls show that President Trump is behind his opponent. Will his controversial policies like visa suspension and anti-China rhetoric really help to win back support? We talked with Rachel Bitecofer, an election forecaster and political analyst, about what could happen in November.
