The President today was talking about this is going to be the hardest decision - decision that he's going to make.
I think it's very clear that the President can have great influence on the states. You know, he issued guidelines, CDC issued guidelines, blessed by the President, and they did have an effect, but they were not orders.
Yes, absolutely, Anderson. And in fact, Democrats on the House side are starting on this and of course, Nancy Pelosi is pushing it within the confines of the badly run negotiations.
I think they want Donald Trump to do some things, and I think he will get some points today for declaring a national emergency, making much more funds available.
