Didn't want to clutter the other post with election prognostication. But I think it's something worth talking about.

For the 2020 race, I think this could turn out to be a major benefit for Trump. He's up there at a podium everyday, all eyes on him, looking "presidential". No matter whether you personally think he's doing a good job or not, he's got one hour each day on camera appearing to lead a team of experts, answering questions, taking drastic actions, etc.

He's campaigning through this crisis. Probably campaigning more effectively than his traditional rally style campaign.
He's not picking up new support at rallies. But he could gain new support through this.


Biden, on the other hand, is stuck at home. He can't go out and campaign. He's gonna have to do a virtual campaign with his bootleg camera.
He can't really directly criticise Trump because of the circumstances. It could be bad optics to bad talk the prez in the middle of a crisis.


For data (just one poll):
Trump's approval regarding Corona virus went from 43% approve/54% disapprove last week to 55% approve/44% disapprove this week.
