Summary

Trump reverses course and cancels republican convention activities in Jacksonville as the coronavirus continues to surge. Trump also says that most the United States has "no problem" even as the United States reaches four million cases. Only five states are seeing a decrease in coronavirus cases. Trump pushes to reopen schools and says that children "obviously" have a "very strong immune system" and can fight off coronavirus. Trump says that "the country is in very good shape" while experts say that the country is not in good shape. Trump claims that the United States is "very strong on supplies" for coronavirus, amid reports of PPE being in short supply in some areas. Trump says that coronavirus outbreaks in the south and the west "will all work out" as Dr. Birx warns of soaring cases in 12 cities. Trump also claims that "Arizona is doing very well" as Dr. Birx says Phoenix has "small glimmers" of positivity rate declining. Another 1.4 million Americans file for unemployment benefits. 52.6 million Americans have filed for unemployment in 18 weeks. Millions are at risk for losing their health insurance too. Judge orders Michael Cohen to be released to home confinement and says government retaliated against him for writing Trump book.
