Lots of good qs about the structure of our experienced COVID team. Bechara Choucair will oversee vaccinations efforts getting 100mn vaccines in the arms of Americans in 100 days — in his role on the WH COVID team.

At least Don taps into the id. The Ivanka theory seems to be based on the comically off-base idea that Trump's appeal comes despite the outer-borough affect rather than because of it. As if smoothing off the rough edges is a net positive to the people he has activated.

NEW: Trump had raised $200 mil, a Twitter account to impose discipline on the GOP, and had frozen the ‘24 field. Now ‘24 GOP hopefuls see a vacuum - and they’re looking to fill it https://t.co/BvdTZUo4wO
