A new Reuters analysis reveals President Donald Trump actually performed better this year than he did in 2016, in counties where many have died from COVID-19. Results from 139 counties in 19 different states found that Trump made a 4% jump in votes in areas highly impacted by the coronavirus. According to HuffPost, Trump also won the majority of votes in states with the highest COVID-19 death rates, including Florida and Texas. More than 230,000 Americans and over 1 million people worldwide have died of the novel coronavirus. Nevertheless, many American voters supported the president. Constituents in these areas may have been susceptible to COVID-19 because they listened to the Trump administration's consistent downplaying of the virus. Many Trump supporters do not wear masks or believe COVID-19 is as severe as it really is, in part, due to the administration’s consistent downplaying of the virus.
