Polls show President Donald Trump is headed for election defeat against Democrat Joe Biden.
US President Donald Trump speaks during the daily briefing on the COVID-19.WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump will resume regular televised coronavirus briefings Tuesday in a possibly fraught bid to restore his standing with US voters who accuse him of badly fumbling the pandemic response.
They ended abruptly in late April after Trump was mocked for musing on the potential for injecting coronavirus patients with disinfectant.Now, with polls showing Trump headed for election defeat against Democrat Joe Biden and more than two thirds of Americans mistrusting him on the coronavirus, he hopes to seize back control of the narrative.
In his own preview, Trump said Monday that he'd be explaining how"we're doing very well in so many different ways."The question as always with Trump -- a real estate billionaire who became president in his first ever attempt at running for office -- is whether he will stay on message.
Reminded that the disease is only gaining strength, with no end in sight, Trump insisted:"I'll be right eventually."
