Trump resumes starring role in virus briefings

President Donald Trump has resumed a starring role in the White House’s coronavirus briefings on Tuesday, returning to the podium in the press briefing room in hopes that he can shore up support for his administration’s work amid flagging poll numbers.

Trump says the administration is doing well with vaccine and therapeutic development.

He says the country has learned so much about the disease, and “my administration will stop at nothing to save lives and shield the vulnerable, which is so important.”

Trump also warns the virus outbreak “will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better - something I don’t like saying about things, but that’s the way it is.”
