“After a pained and somewhat public debate over discontinuing the daily White House coronavirus briefings, President Trump this week has attempted to bridge the gap between the wishes of his advisers and his own inclinations by moving the event elsewhere,” CNN reports.
“Instead of the blue-hued James S. Brady Briefing Room — where the last time he took questions he found himself veering into bleach and sunlight peril — Trump has convened with reporters each day this week: in the Oval Office, the East Room, the State Dining Room and the Rose Garden.”
“With a more limited crowd and — with the help of visiting governors and executives — a narrower focus, Trump and his aides hope to avoid the devolving spectacle they saw the previous briefings becoming.”
