Trump's diagnosis rocks final stage of presidential campaign
An election year already defined by a cascade of national crises descended further into chaos Friday with President Donald Trump declaring that he’s tested positive for the coronavirus after consistently playing down the threat.No one knows exactly what comes next.At the least, the development settles the focus of the campaign right where Democratic nominee Joe Biden has put his emphasis for months: on Trump's response to a pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 people in the U.S.
And for the short term, it’s grounded Trump in a quarantine, denying him the large public rallies that fuel his campaign.“From now until we get to the election, attention is going to be back where it should be: on COVID, the president’s response and the impact.
