Episode description
Earlier this week, President Trump said he had total authority over states to tell them when to lift stay-at-home orders. Now, he's kicking more responsibility back to governors in his "Opening Up America Again" plan. POLITICO's Anita Kumar breaks down the delicate dance between the president and the states. Plus, China increases the official death toll in Wuhan by 50%. And the number of cases worldwide tops 2.1 million.
