Daily Beast: “Donald Trump’s senior advisers have begun presenting coronavirus data to the president in terms of which electorally important states could be most affected by the virus next and where GOP-leaning areas were being significantly affected in order to sway him into taking stronger action on the virus.”
“In recent weeks, top White House advisers have been presenting Trump ‘with maps and data showing spikes in coronavirus cases among ‘our people’ in Republican states,’ according to a senior administration official quoted by the Post. This new messaging seems to have worked, according to advisers, though the president is still placing the blame for the highly contagious disease’s spread and the delayed action elsewhere.”
