during the campaign, biden wanted to go around the country. he loves making his case directly to them, being in the beauty shops, the barber shops, in the diners with folks, hosting a town hall and taking their questions, he has been unable to largely do that due to covid. i think the implications of covid have not been explored by tables like these, in a very fullsome way. if the president or his staff gets covid, they are down for ten days. that is a fact. we have to go with the facts. so a lot of things that are happening are happening under the umbrella of, okay, what can we do to make sure it s still safe. i want to bring up a quick troubling number in our polls. 76s, there and four of everyone we surveyed, said our democracy is under threat. but look at the differences why. that was basically republicans and democrats agreeing with this statement now.
