On Today's Show:
Annie Karni, White House reporter for The New York Times and MSNBC and NBC News contributor, brings us what we know about the President's health, and what it means for a country in the throes of a viciously contentious election.
NOTE: In this episode, Annie Karni reports that Trump's public schedule included a conference call with senior groups about the dangers of COVID-19. The New York Times has since reported that the President was not on that call, with Vice President Mike Pence taking his place.
