Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak joined The Chad Hasty Show on Tuesday to discuss the political side of the 2020 Election and how the coronavirus may impact the upcoming election.
Mackowiak told KFYO that while the administration didn't handle the coronavirus perfectly in the beginning, they are getting it right now and that the media has used the issue to drive a wedge.
Mackowiak said the economic downturn could hurt Trump's re-election chances, but that if the economy bounces back in the 3rd and 4th quarters it would help Trump's chances.
