THE NOTE: This marks a moment bigger than politics: The 74-year-old president of the United States has tested positive for a disease that has killed more than 207,000 Americans.
This will rock markets, test national-security relationships and place the campaign in an uncertain and tense kind of pause.and first lady Melania Trump will be isolating at the White House, with upcoming rallies, fundraisers and official events called off for at least the immediate future. It’s hard to imagine that former Vice President Joe Biden campaigns while his rival isolates, and harder than ever to see another debate taking place.
The news resets just about everything that seemed urgent about this already scary moment in the nation, just 32 days before Election Day and with more than 2 million Americans having already voted..
