President Trump Returns to the White House After Being Treated for Coronavirus at Walter Reed

View descriptionShare

President Trump has been released from Walter Reed Military Medical Center. His doctors say that he is improving, but also say he is not out of the woods just yet. As Trump heads home, Republicans are also battling other issues as well. The confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett has come into question since some GOP senators have also tested positive. Daniel Lippman, WH reporter at Politico, joins us for more.


Next, the economic recovery of the U.S. has been uneven as some workers and companies are showing signs of coming out fine, while others face an uncertain path. The pandemic has been kind to those that can work from home and the businesses that cater to them, but lower wage workers and those tied to tourism and public gatherings have suffered. Theo Francis, business reporter at the WSJ, joins us for the K-shaped recovery.


Finally, as some college campuses have been exploding with COVID-19 cases, Colby College in Maine has been keeping the numbers down with mandatory mask wearing, students willing to follow the rules, and one of the nation’s most rigorous testing programs. The college has poured $10 million into its response plan and tests students twice a week. Chris Quintana, national education reporter for USA Today, joins us for how they are keeping the numbers low.
