The Daily Election Coverage
The electorate and the issues.
THE ELECTORATE
The Daily's coverage of the 2020 election will be defined by an ambitious attempt to understand the American electorate in the lead up to the vote. The show will examine whether and how the pandemic and the protests across America have shifted the race for president, drawing from reporting by New York Times reporters and The Daily producers.
