Summary

2020 is shaping up to be the first ever virtual presidential election in US history. Communications Director for the 2020 Trump reelection campaign Tim Murtagh joins the 'Rundown' to discuss shifting the campaign online because of the coronavirus, if there will be a Trump rally before the November election, going up against former Vice President Joe Biden, getting the economy back up and more! Despite the fact that social distancing mandates have brought our economy to a screeching halt and caused an unmeasurable amount of anxiety, millions of Americans continue to stay home because they believe they are saving lives by slowing the spread of the coronavirus. The sacrifices being asked of us have been largely based on models that projected millions of cases and horrifying death tolls. However, there are some who believe the drastic actions taken by a few government leaders may be unnecessary and based on faulty data. Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume talks to Former New York Times reporter and author Alex Berenson about why he believes the models are wrong about the dangers of Covid-19 and why it's time we start reopening America. Plus, commentary by Abby Hornacek, host of the "Getting Schooled" podcast and "Park'd" on Fox Nation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
