Race is now between Trump 43% and Fauci 66%
Fauci did us a solid last night. The narrative today will be about his rift with the White House. The Washington Post story rings a little like a Comey surprise. Comey was generally well regarded and perceived to be above it all. Fauci is cut from the same cloth. The doctor's approval numbers are 20%+ better than Trump's. It's a battle Trump can't win.
Even better it takes Biden out of the story entirely. This puts Trump purely on the defense. Attacking Fauci is not a winning strategy for the last two days of the campaign, but there's no way for Trump to contain himself. One would expect the sound bites from his rallies to be his comments on Fauci.
Nobody will care about Iowa today.
The WaPo story is also not hidden behind a paywall.
