USSC Research Director Jared Mondschein spoke to ABC TV's Afternoon Briefing about the state of the election race for the Trump and Biden campaigns.

"Ultimately, Donald Trump is making this a race about his strength and Joe Biden's weakness," said Mondschein.

"Whether it be the debate performance by Joe Biden, or the assassination attempt which showed Donald Trump's strength in the face of violence, or whether it be Joe Biden now getting COVID, it just has really only reinforced Biden's weakness in many ways.

"All this pressure for the Democrats is only moving in one direction."
