As millions of Americans return home after traveling for Thanksgiving, public health officials went on the Sunday shows to give advice and amplify warnings. Members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force reiterated that there are actionable steps people can take to reduce the spread of the virus, especially if Americans celebrated the holiday with friends or family outside of their personal pod.
We also discuss the fallout of President Trump’s baseless allegations of massive voter fraud. Most notably, the GOP needs to convince Republican voters to vote in an election they believe is fraudulent.
