In a walkback of President’s claim of “absolute power” to reopen states new WH proposal for a phased approach to easing social distancing defers to states. Page 4 says plan “Implementable on statewide or county-by-county basis at Governors’s discretion.” @CBSNews
Reading through 18-page plan presented to state Governors today it appears White House is just encouraging states to do what they are already doing on #coronavirus. Not much new guidance, no clear enforcement mechanism. H/T @edokeefe
Even in Phase 3 - final phase of this plan WH presented to state governors today - life will still look a little different at church, movies, sports, gyms, and bars. #Covid_19 #SocialDistanacing (HT @edokeefe) @CBSNews
"You're going to be running it, we're going to be helping you. We're going to be supplying you as needed, if you need something that you don't have," President Trump told state governors today per audio of meeting obtained by @CBSNews' @edokeefe.
"Nobody has to hang their head, because you've all worked really hard and we have made the best out of a horrible situation and I'm very proud to have worked with you & we're going to continue to work together" Trump told state govs on call today per @edokeefe #coronavirus
"If you're ready & if you have those beautiful low numbers like some of you have let's get going let's open up your state. Let's get America back, let's get our country open." President Trump told state governors on call today #coronavirus #Covid_19. HT @edokeefe
New WH Guidelines could provide cover to local leaders who want to get back to business. Pres. Trump has heard from several outside advisors that he should re-open economies in lieu of Phase 4 stimulus...even as medical experts & econ council say we need more #COVID19 testing
