This morning, Australia time, US President Donald Trump took a car ride to wave at well-wishers gathered outside Walter Reed military hospital where he is being treated for COVID-19.

News of the President’s diagnosis has rocked the US election campaign, and inconsistent reports from his doctors over the weekend only added to the uncertainty.

The latest from his medical team is that Trump is not out of the woods but they are cautiously optimistic.

In this episode, national editor Tory Maguire is joined by international editor Peter Hartcher to discuss how Trump's condition will affect the US election.
