Now that Democrats have settled on a presumptive nominee, the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast team discuss their priors for the 2020 presidential contest. While seven months — and an unfolding crisis — separate us from Election Day, the 2020 election appears to have similar patterns to 2016’s — for now. The crew also look at where we are in the COVID-19 crisis and how the debate over when to reopen the economy is playing out.
