Episode 188: Trump Hospitalized with COVID
President Trump has COVID-19 and is currently hospitalized. Just a single month ahead of the election and the same week as the presidential debate! That would be enough, but there’s more to talk about this Sunday as the world struggled to understand the severity of the president’s illness. On today’s episode, we break down the conversations on the Sunday shows into two segments: the credibility crisis and the impact on the election.
