President Donald Trump’s Covid-19 diagnosis has thrust his already reeling reelection campaign into further disarray and forced his top advisers to rip up their plans for the final month of the race.
Perhaps most profoundly, the Trump team is being forced to reconsider its strategy for the final stretch of the campaign. After spending months trying to divert attention from the president’s management of the pandemic, the coronavirus is now certain to dominate the rest of the race. The news caught many Trump aides by surprise and sent them scrambling to figure out how to proceed. By early Friday afternoon, Stepien released a statement saying that “all previously announced campaign events involving the president’s participation are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed.”
Perhaps the biggest question confronting Trump is the next debate, to be held Oct. 15 in Miami. After a widely panned performance in the first forum, he was intent on participating in the next one, Trump aides said. Officials with the Commission on Presidential Debates declined to comment on whether the event would be rescheduled or reformatted.Another major issue is fundraising.
Others, however, disagreed, saying that none of the attendees were within eight feet of the president.
