The White House Gives Democrats an Opening

Playbook: “Six weeks ago, the issue set would have looked completely different than it does today. The economy is contracting, people are dying, and yet the president’s approval ratings have held steady. The campaign has been reduced to a single overarching topic: the coronavirus.”

“But, as sure as the sun rises, Democrats again believe they have a potent weapon to wield against President Trump and the White House: health care. Trump never was able to replace Obamacare, as he promised on the campaign trail; and the administration will not reopen the exchanges to help people get covered during this time of distress.”

This exchange at yesterday’s briefing shows the incredibly disjointed White House message on health care.
