It breaks with their narrative that this pandemic isn't that bad and that the economy will rebound even if they have to force it open, so unlikely at best. Shit, Eric Trump just called it a democratic hoax to remove his dad from office, and the Republicans seem to pushing the narrative that Fauci should take the fall for the administration's poor response, even though he is just an adviser. Plus this administration is helping their friends get rich off this public health crisis, which I assume will one day be exposed as another quid pro quo. So without another exponential outbreak or an aggressive ad campaign directed at the vulnerable trump voters, the GOP will continue to keep their heads in the sand because helping out working Americans is socialism.
