Episode 156: WH Tested by Coronavirus

Former Vice President Joe Biden had a resounding win in South Carolina — thus reviving his campaign and making a clear case to be the alternative to Sen. Bernie Sanders. Additionally, late on Sunday evening, Mayor Pete Buttigieg dropped out of the race as well. The Sunday talk shows focused their coverage of the Democratic race on Sanders and Biden and ignored most of the other candidates.

The White House also sent Vice President Mike Pence and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to all of the Sunday talk shows to calm and reassure the American public. Secretary Azar achieved this objective; Vice President Pence did not.
