Trump’s erratic COVID behavior is finally fracturing the GOP — but it’s too late: analysis
On Wednesday, writing for The Washington Post, Robert Costa outlined how the President's erratic attempts to downplay his own COVID-19 infection, coupled with his meddling in badly-needed economic stimulus talks, have finally done something that once seemed impossible: turn Republicans in...
