Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])
“If you thought the battle over whether or not to impeach Trump would be the defining moment of the President's first term in office (as we all did), well, things have changed.
This coronavirus fight is now the thing that very likely will make or break Trump's chances at a second term this November. And it's really a series of fights: There's the obvious physical health one but there's also a massive economic fight, a mental health battle and a leadership test all wrapped in there too.”
– Chris Cillizza, CNN editor-at-large
