The President Is Back, But The Virus Continues To Plague The 2020 Race
The election is only four weeks away. With many in the Trump administration, including the President, testing positive for the coronavirus, National Journal Political Editor Jared Kraushaar discusses how the President's coronavirus infection has impacted the race and why it's putting an even bigger spotlight on Wednesday's Vice Presidential debate. President Trump's announcement that he had tested positive for COVID-19 has raised some questions about what the procedure is when the Commander-in-Chief gets sick. Presidential historian and former staffer for President George W. Bush, Jane Hampton Cook tells the 'Rundown' about other instances of Presidents becoming ill while in office and how they were covered by the press. She explains why the Founding Fathers didn't have a plan for when a President gets sick, how the 25th Amendment came to be and when it gets enacted. Plus she tells us why President Trump's coronavirus diagnosis so close to an election is historic. Plus, commentary by national security expert Dr. Rebecca Grant.
