When voters cast a ballot for Republican President Donald Trump or Democratic challenger former Vice President Joe Biden, they’re also casting a ballot for one of two very different economic polices touted by the candidates. And with the U.S. economy struggling to regain its footing after a COVID-19-induced crash, that policy could make all the difference.

On Monday, MPR News senior economics contributor Chris Farrell joined host Angela Davis to talk about how the outcome of Tuesday’s election could affect the United States’ precarious economy.

Plus, MPR News political reporter Mark Zdechlik brought us up to speed on last-minute Minnesota election and voting news.
