Carrie talks to veteran campaign consultants Leisa Moseley and Ed Gonzalez about how campaigning is different in the age of social distancing - and how it is different between Republicans and Democrats.
This is IMPACT. A daily look at how we are coping with the coronavirus in Nevada. I’m Carrie Kaufman.
It’s May 6. Of 2020. I feel I need to say the date every once in a while, just to ground us in reality.
Because this time feels so unreal. So slow motion.
There is an election this year. A big one in November, and smaller primaries all over the country. Three months ago that’s all we were focused on. Suddenly, it’s a dim ray of sunshine in a dark dystopian dream.
Is it an illusion? Will we get there? What will the world be like when we get there? Will we fall into a vast ocean of COVID stew, before we reach it?
And what if we reach it and nobody cares?
