How will the coronavirus pandemic affect voting? The public and the media are closely watching how incumbents respond to the crisis.

As precarious workers suffer through the economic slow-down, candidates are addressing paid sick leave policy, healthcare access and cost of living. Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Sen.

But will voters remember the panic or promises come November? shares his analysis with host Anita Rao.
