Trump took questions during the ABC town hall two weeks before he is set to debate Democratic nominee Joe Biden for the first time on live television.

The Pennsylvania rally is Trump’s second major event since the Republican National Convention last week and comes as voters are beginning to tune in.

Trump’s nomination was never in question but the formal roll call at the RNC is still a symbolic milestone, an expression of the party’s support.

Trump’s thinking on the coronavirus task force came a day after Vice President Mike Pence said the group’s work would shift to federal agencies.

Trump touted a study that indicates sunlight and humidity can weaken the coronavirus, suggesting patients might be treated by light “inside the body.”

Trump has sought for days to deflect criticism from states over coronavirus testing. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, has been a vocal critic.

A day after declining to name states he felt may be ready to ease lockdowns to halt coronavirus, Trump singled out Virginia, Michigan and Minnesota.

After positioning himself as a “wartime” president, Trump is being bombarded with dire warnings about the economic impact of the coronavirus.

President Donald Trump, who previously predicted that the coronavirus could “miraculously” disappear this spring, has embraced a more somber tone.
