October 30, 2020

Lerner Chair Shannon Monnat is quoted in this Buzzfeed News article: Trump May Lose Votes In Places Hit Hard By COVID-19. A new study has found that voter support for Trump and Republican senators has dropped in states with rising COVID-19 deaths. Monnat says, “As we have started to see outbreaks in many parts of rural America, people are finally coming to see that rural areas are not immune, and they have even less capacity to cope with it.”
