Trump just tweeted that he has been infected with the Chinese Coronavirus.

This is a major blow to our country.

How do you think this will affect the election? Will people be more or less likely to vote for Trump? There will be many people voting early via in-person early voting and via mail-in early voting, and they will need to know if the person they are voting for will be alive on election day.

How will this affect the country and world affairs? To date, no world leader has died from coronavirus.

he has a virus, but seems that it is asymptomatic, if i heard it well
maybe they will postpone elections, do not know about the procedure, but that seems as rational idea, and probably there is some clause that "due to higher cause" elections could be postponed by month/two, and until then everything will probably be back to normal

it will certainly influence elections either way, and people will probably be more emphatic for Trump, so he will higher his chances to win the elections, IMO

I guess this is going to affect his future president fortunes for sure because he repeatedly said that corona virus severity has gone down and the end is in the sight just last night only.

Or it may create sympathy on him and will help to become the president again?

He likely contracted the virus recently, and most people do not start to show symptoms right away.

Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally postpone the election. Only Congress can change the election date, and the results must be in by December 14, as the constitution perscribes this to be the date the electrical college meets to cast their votes.

@PrimeNumber7 it’s too early to say whether this news will effect the voters mind or no, but one thing I can sadly say is that people have lost it as they’re praying for him to die, and some are even claiming that this is a hoax (see comments on his Twitter post). Furthermore I don’t think that he’ll postpone the elections, because he’ll try and keep it on the same date, and show Americans that he’s capable of governing USA even after being effected by the Virus.
