US election: Trump and coronavirus

BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, US election: Trump and coronavirus

President Trump and First Lady have tested positive for coronavirus

The coronavirus pandemic has claimed more than 200,000 lives in the US and there are more than 7 million confirmed cases. President Trump, whose approach to the virus divides opinion, has now himself tested positive for the virus. As the Americans prepare to vote for a new president or give Donald Trump four more years, coronavirus is one of the issues that will inform voters' thinking.  

During the election campaign Nuala McGovern will be hearing from those Americans right across the country. 

We bring together Republicans and Democrats in Texas, Georgia and Florida who have all seen their lives impacted by the virus. They share how they think the president has handled the coronavirus crisis. And, two mothers from Idaho and South Carolina discuss how Donald Trump’s presidency has affected their families’ lives - for better and worse - as well as their hopes for the future.
