Personally, I think there would've been less death, but not dramatically less.
At the end of the day, Republicans and Dems are both capitalist and answer to the same overlords, so they still wouldn't have done what actually needed to be done to properly handle it (AKA do what China did).
my guess would be the like mostly same a bit less death maybe the republicans would be even harder on not taking the vaccine or using mask and stuff because they don't want to do something clinton told, also if Cuomo is anything to go by it could be just worse too because the media would not care as much
