A month ago, President Trump pushed governors to let churches reopen.
Now, he’s got a problem on his hands with several coronavirus clusters
tied to houses of worship across the country. POLITICO’s Gabby Orr
explains why churches can be super-spreaders — and why Trump is in a
bind as he tries to keep evangelical voters on his side. Plus, governors
are reimposing coronavirus restrictions. And the number of global cases
tops 10 million.
Gabby Orr is a White House reporter for POLITICO.
Jeremy Siegel is a host for POLITICO Dispatch.
Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO audio.
Jenny Ament is the senior producer of POLITICO audio.
