No matter who wins this election the economy is going to struggle for a while, and the President will take a lot of blame even though there is not a lot he can do about it.
There were plenty of signs of weakness even before the pandemic. The Fed had been cutting prime rate drastically to try and head off a recession. And this was with Trump already doubling down on deficit spending to artificially pump up the numbers.
See this is where I think the idea of "shoot the hostages" comes into play between now and January. It becomes the GOP's directive to try and do as much long term economic damage that it carries their message into 2022.
