(Page 2) END POVERTY, DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION’S ARTICLE 9 JCP Chair Shii speaks at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan Japanese Communist Party Executive Committee Chair Shii Kazuo on July 3 spoke at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan in Tokyo to explain how the JCP is waging the House of Councilors election and respond to questions. (Page 14) 2007 House of Councilors Election - 1 - JAPANESE COMMUNIST PARTY MANIFESTO We are the only ‘Reliable Opposition Party’ Defending People’s Living Conditions and Peace 1 The House of Councilors election will be held soon. The Koizumi Cabinet has been replaced by Prime Minister ABE Shinzo’s cabinet. People’s living conditions, in particular hardships related to cutbacks in welfare services and the worsening employment situation, are getting more and more serious. The new Cabinet has been very reckless with its policies opposing peace and democracy. The JCP will call on the voters to stop the coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komei Party from continuing with policies that undermine people’s living conditions and peace. “Poverty and social disparities” are found everywhere in our society, in which an increasing number of people have difficulty supporting their own lives even with a job. -
UMBC Alumnae Racing to Develop Coronavirus Vaccine
Newsletter SPRING 2020 To our UMBC/Meyerhoff families: We hope you and your families are all doing well during this strange and stressful time of Covid- 19. Although the world has changed quickly with so many things shut down and many of us sheltering at home, we hope this newsletter will represent a ray of sunshine during a dark and difficult time. Please enjoy this positive representation of our student and alumni community. MPA Board UMBC Alumnae Racing to Develop Coronavirus Vaccine Kizzmekia Corbett ’08, M16, biological sciences, says it feels like she’s “living in a constant adrenaline rush.” Maybe that’s because she and her team at the Vaccine Research Center at the National Insti- tute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have been working around the clock for weeks. They’re racing to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus faster than it can race across the globe. “To be living in this moment where I have the opportunity to work on something that has imminent global importance…it’s just a surre- al moment for me,” Corbett says. Despite it feeling surreal, the advances Corbett and her team are making are very real, and they’re setting records. “We are making better progress than I could have ever hoped for,” she says. After three months of studies in test tubes and in animals, the vaccine her team developed is about to enter a phase I clinical trial, a crucial hur- dle on the way to FDA approval. Read the complete article about Kizzmekia and her team’s efforts to develop a Covid-19 vaccine in the latest UMBC magazine at https:// Kizzmekia Corbett, NIH magazine.umbc.edu/umbc-alumnae-racing-to-develop- coronavirus-vaccine/. -

Did COVID-19 Cost Trump the Election?
Did COVID-19 cost Trump the election? James Lake∗ and Jun Niey Southern Methodist University This draft: January 18, 2021 First draft: December 1, 2020 Abstract A common narrative is that COVID-19 cost Trump re-election. We do not nd supporting evidence; if anything, the pandemic helped Trump. However, we nd sub- stantial evidence that voters abandoned Trump in counties with large increases in health insurance coverage since the Aordable Care Act, presumably fearing the roll-back of such expansion. Absent this eect, our estimates imply Trump would been on the precipice of re-election by winning Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and only losing Wis- consin by a few thousand votes. Finally, while US trade war taris boosted Trump's support, foreign trade war taris and US agricultural subsidies had little eect. JEL: D72, F13, F14, I18 Keywords: 2020 US Presidential election, COVID-19, Aordable Care Act, health insurance coverage, trade war, political economy, trade policy ∗Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]. We would like to thank Dan Millimet and Klaus Desmet for helpful discussion and comments. yAuthor e-mail: [email protected] 1 Introduction The 2020 US Presidential election is one of the most controversial in modern history. A sizable minority of US voters questioned the widely acknowledged results amid suspicions over widespread voter fraud, resulting in pro-Trump supporters storming the Capitol during congressional certication of Joe Biden's victory. Additionally, many far-reaching policies and actions of the Trump administration were plausibly salient in voters' minds. Thus, understanding voting behavior in this election is fundamentally important. -
