jennifer nicholl victor, an associate professor in political science at george mason university in virginiaeffect the nomination of a newjustice is having on the debates over the us election. so, unfortunately the passing of justice ruth bader ginsburg has interrupted to election cycle and really captured the focus of politics in the united states. and all of the various fallout and politics has heightened what was already an incredibly tense and partisan and fraught election season that we have going on. so it is, in a lot of ways, quite disruptive to that extent. so what impact do you think it is going to have on that election? on the election itself, i'm not sure that it will necessarily have a strong impact. there is some evidence in the political science literature to suggest that some partisans will be hyper motivated to turn out to vote because of concerns about the supreme court, and the placement of justices on the supreme court. however, it seems likely that this nomination, disappointment, will be made before the election, although the senate will have to move very rapidly. it's

want to create a panic i think he did not understand the american public germ e-mail is from george mason university he doesn't think the latest revelations will sway president trump's political base. with his supporters i think they will still many of them accept it america is so deeply polarized right now the president trump once said that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue in new york city and not lose any of his supporters well we're going to test that proposition right now with these revelations because if they are true and the we have the president on tape so we know they're true then some estimates are as high as 80000 americans would be alive today if the president had used the knowledge that he so clearly has so there may be some americans out there who haven't made up their mind between president from and joe biden but there are not many of them and to the extent that this news reaches them i think it plays better for the democrats but the sad truth of this election is that most americans have made up their mind and there's very little that could change someone who's agains

she is an epidemiologist at george mason university. professor, we appreciate you being with us. what do you make of the new guidance and timeline that it implie implies? >> it extremely concerning. i think it very premature. the concern is we'll be rolling out vaccines to health care workers very, very early on in phase three well before we have the data to support it. >> so you say it hard to see this as anything other than a preelection vaccine push. so you're concerned it's being politicized? >> very much. >> what do you mean? >> it hard not to see that. the vaccines are to be pushed out november 1st and the election is november 3rd. it considering suddenly we're pushing through very many safety protocols for vaccines for safety that could have serious ramifications and an effort for president trump to push this as an election piece, which is concerning from a public health standpoint, safety standpoint and a trust and science standpoint. >> so both dr. anthony fauci and steven hahn on the coronavirus task force said a vaccine may be available for certain groups before clinic
