History:
How do leaders respond in times of crisis? We've talked about Lincoln & Johnson during the Civil War and Reconstruction, Hoover & FDR during the Great Depression & attempts to remedy that crisis.
The COVID-19 crisis seems like it is going to continue to impact our lives and provides a great challenge to American leadership. Every day the President has a COVID-19 briefing. I'd encourage you to watch them and see what you think. Here are a few resources you may want to check out to see how folks think he's doing handling the pressure.
The President isn't the only one facing pressure on his leadership. Congress also finds itself struggling to work together and pass a law to help support people and help the nation recover. Here are a few things to read about what each party is proposing as their solutions (though it doesn't seem either party plans on supporting the other parties bill. If that continues to be the case, we won't be seeing any legislation passed!)
Politico:
Republicans Plan: Senate at impasse on trillion-dollar coronavirus package
Democratic Criticisms: Schumer slams 'inadequate' GOP coronavirus stimulus plan
Democrats Plan: How the House Democrats' stimulus plan compares to the Senate's
(will post Republican criticisms as the story progresses - their plan was just announced last night)
