Kudlow Predicts 'Big Reopening' of Economy as Virus Fight Enters 'Home Stretch'

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow predicts a “big reopening” for the economy as the current stage in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic enters the “home stretch.”

The veteran financial guru and former Ronald Reagan adviser said public safety goes “hand in hand” with economic growth.

“I believe [we] will do both,” Kudlow told radio host Hugh Hewitt in a recent interview.

“I think the president has been right to adopt the mitigation measures he had. I think the shutdown[s] did help bring the virus to heel,” said Kudlow, who worked as Reagan’s budget deputy between 1981 and 1985.

“I think we’re coming down the home stretch on this, and I think we’re going to see [a] big reopening,” said Kudlow, who served as the Trump campaign's senior economic adviser.

Kudlow said 2021 could be a “very, very” good year for the economy.
