2020 Election – Staying on the Trump Track or Switching to the Biden Blueprint?

This Spotlight examines the economic side of the US election – just seven weeks away. We cover recent measures being proposed in Congress to sustain the economic recovery and COVID-19 relief, and also examine the priorities set out by Trump for his second term. The second half details the Biden campaign’s spending proposals for pandemic recovery, infrastructure and the green economy and assesses how ‘progressive’ they are shaping up to be, and what chance they have of making up the core of Democratic legislating in the 2020s.
