Note the absence of Tony Fauci from the Sunday shows and the pressers etc. The White House is not putting him out there to talk about the virus or answer questions. Probably for a reason. They want the “upbeat” Conley to be the face of this. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Why won’t they tell us the president’s temperature? What do the lung scans show? Does the president have pneumonia or not? Sanjay Gupta notes that Dr. Conley pretending that he didn’t know whether Trump got oxygen this morning is not believable because it’s critical information. — PolitiTweet.org

The president’s doctor saying he was “trying to reflect the upbeat attitude of the team” by misleading the American people and otherwise dissembling is a sound bite for the ages. — PolitiTweet.org

President’s physician says it came off that he was trying to hide something by not disclosing yesterday that the president was on oxygen, which he says “wasn’t necessarily true.” — PolitiTweet.org

Doctors wear N95 mask and full PPE when they’re around Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Conley really needs some media training. — PolitiTweet.org

One of Trump’s doctors says he could return to White House as early as tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump had a second infusion of remdisivir last night. It’s a five day course. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Sean Dooley says at briefing that Trump “has remained without fever since Friday morning” and is not complaining of shortness of breath, and he’s walking around without limitation. He says the kidney and liver findings are normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when President Trump said our country was going to reopen by April 12 and we’d all be in church on Easter? That was six months ago. 🐣 — PolitiTweet.org

“There was a panic before this started, but now we’re sort of the stupid party,” said Ed Rollins, co-chair of the pro-Trump super PAC Great America (and Reagan's 1984 manager). He's not alone. Many top Rs feels this way. Some are even going on the record: https://t.co/7pSjFwIWlZ — PolitiTweet.org

Lindsey Graham is message disciplined. He has literally pivoted to talk about the Supreme Court in response to every single question. And he just promised that Amy Coney Barrett will be a “buffer” against the left when she’s confirmed, which he promises he will do. — PolitiTweet.org

Wild sign of the times: Jaime Harrison has literally put up a giant plexiglass barrier on the debate stage in South Carolina between him and Lindsey Graham, who works in a coronavirus hot spot. (AKA the Senate) https://t.co/PqgRziSkTy — PolitiTweet.org

Lindsey Graham says in South Carolina Senate debate that Covid-19 is not a reason to put Democrats in charge: “This virus is going to pass.” — PolitiTweet.org

Lindsey Graham emphasizes that domestic violence and alcoholism are surging amid the coronavirus in South Carolina Senate debate. Warns that Democrats will pack the Supreme Court if his challenger and Biden win. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked about Covid, Lindsey Graham says in SC debate that the coronavirus came from China, not Trump Tower. And then he promises that nothing will stop him from confirming ACB. — PolitiTweet.org

In opening statement of debate, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) calls his Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison a socialist who will confirm liberal judges and who won’t stand up for law and order. — PolitiTweet.org

Happening now (8 pm ET Saturday): Jaime Harrison says in his opening statement that he went to YALE. You don’t hear that as much as you used to. https://t.co/KxgGWKDlJM — PolitiTweet.org

Cast by conservatives as a battle between antifa agitators and a right-wing ‘patriot,’ this summer’s deadliest protest-related incident was not quite what it seemed. Via ⁦@RobertKlemko⁩ & ⁦@GregJaffe⁩ https://t.co/lKa5OuzRxK — PolitiTweet.org

COG talk comes as Trump has broken or sidelined much of the machinery of govt, while assuming ever greater unitary control. NSC staff has been slashed. State Department’s authority curtailed. Other government agencies reduced in size/influence. #25A https://t.co/tBIy0viPir — PolitiTweet.org

Biden aides tell us they’re still expecting the vice-presidential debate to go forward as planned on Wednesday. The also emphasize that they don’t expect any major overhaul to Biden’s schedule, which includes trips in coming days to Arizona and Florida. https://t.co/aCSGm8wIEH — PolitiTweet.org

“I understand the debate commission is debating — no pun intended — rule changes,” Biden told WOOD-TV, an NBC affiliate in Grand Rapids, Mich., during a Friday interview. “My view is, whatever they decide is fine by me.” By @AnnieLinskey & @mviser: https://t.co/aCSGm8wIEH — PolitiTweet.org

Biden said he's reluctant to criticize the hospitalized Trump during an event this afternoon with the Amalgamated Transit Union when asked how he would handle the coronavirus differently. He says he wants to be respectful while POTUS is hospitalized. https://t.co/aCSGm8wIEH — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's campaign will not tell us how often he'll take coronavirus tests beyond saying that they'll happen on "a regular basis." Biden tested negative on Friday. He said today that he didn't undergo a Saturday test but will take one on Sunday. — PolitiTweet.org
