The Democrats had a successful convention. Now watch out for Trump’s renewed attacks.

This week the Democratic Party held their 2020 presidential nominating convention – the first ever to be run almost entirely online due to concerns about COVID-19. In this Q&A, LSE US Centre Director Professor Peter Trubowitz comments that the Democratic convention has meant a fundraising boost for the party and is also likely to have inspired their base. Both of these successes, he suggests, will mean that President Trump’s attacks on the Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, are likely to be even more aggressive at the Republican Party’s convention next week.
