Coronavirus consumes Trump's reelection bid

When Donald Trump's top campaign advisers met with the president in the White House on Wednesday, they came prepared with reams of polling data on his standing with voters eight months out from the election.

But Trump was focused on something else: The coronavirus.

Before the group could begin its long-planned presentation on the 2020 race, the president launched into a commentary about how travel from Europe was a "mess" and needed to be shut down. He ordered White House counsel Pat Cipollone and chief economist Larry Kudlow into the room to talk about ideas for addressing the pandemic. And he sent two other top aides, Jared Kushner and Hope Hicks, outside to draft a to-do list.
