As of Monday, Vermont health officials reported 1,462 coronavirus cases in the state and 58 deaths. A total of 103,353 tests have been conducted, 945 travelers are being monitored, 6,040 have completed monitoring and 1,282 have recovered.
WCAX asked Middlebury College political professor Matt Dickinson his thoughts about the governor holding a press conference on the same day Vermonters are voting.
“He essentially is trying to portray himself as somebody who’s got more important things to do than run for office. He’s trying to stay above partisan politics by portraying himself as somebody dealing with a crisis. But of course that helps him in terms of the electoral impact as well,” said Dickinson.
There are 11 candidates running Tuesday, trying to get their party’s nomination for Vermont Governor.
