I would have trouble seeing Trump lose if Covid-19 weren't around.
But his bungling of Covid-19 and him downplaying it, I believe, will cost him the election.
And while people aren't thrill with the protests and riots, I believe many people see Covid-19 as the bigger threat.
But we will see soon enough in a few weeks what a majority not Americans truly think.
