Welcome to Democracy Isham Toray.

And I'm Danielle Moody.

And it's 96 days till the election.

Ninety-six more days of Trump officially in office before he becomes a lame duck because he is losing bigly.

And I don't even know how you turn it around.

I mean, like, polling shows him behind eight to ten points, multiple polls among likely voters.

And we basically don't have a race, right? Like absent COVID, we would have constant rallies,

people making pronouncements on media all the time. We don't really have that, right?

Absent COVID, I'm not sure that Joe Biden's poll numbers would be where they are, to be honest.

I mean, you and I can list off and rattle off all the ways in which Trump has fucked America over the past three and a half years.

But outside of COVID being a complete and total disaster and 150,000 Americans being dead right now.

And probably by the time this airs, that number will have ticked up.

I don't know if Biden would be where he is.

Do you think?

I think that's fair.

I think there's at least three to five points that Biden is bumping up because of COVID.

I mentioned that only to say that essentially the race is moving in slow motion because

you can't really campaign in any real functional way like we're used to.

We would be used to people doing five, six, like five, six events a day,

thousands of people, tons of media. I mean, like, it's late July. There should be like

constant beehives of media around these people all the time, thousands and thousands of people

cheering at their stump speeches and all.
