This podcast is drawn from a webinar hosted by the Baker Institute on March 22 entitled “The 2020 Election and Covid-19.” It features Dr. Mark Jones, Baker Institute Fellow in Political Science and Jamail Chair in Latin American Studies. He is joined by Ms. Chetna Cates, the Baker institute’s Director of Membership.
