...and trump's giving a rally tonight in S.C.
Vice President Mike Pence is billed as a "special guest" at a fundraiser for the Florida Republican delegation on Friday. He will also be briefing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, on coronavirus while he's there -- the only event open to media coverage.
Two days ago, President Donald Trump announced he would run point on the administration's response to the coronavirus as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned it was not a matter of if, but when, the virus would spread in the US.
Since then, Pence has reached out to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress. He spoke to an array of bipartisan governors as well, including Govs. Larry Hogan, R-Maryland, Andrew Cuomo, D-New York, Greg Abbott, R-Texas, Pete Rickets, R-Nebraska, Jay Inslee, D-Washington, and Gavin Newsom, D-California.

(11,885 posts)Other than the propaganda trumps allows out promoting himself , and how great he's done, and pence is working for trump silencing anyone else concerning this critical health crisis and preventing the truth from exposing them, and they are failing badly. Trumps attacking the truth while promoting nothing but lies.
