Mike Pence is the “coronavirus czar”.
“Mike Pence is the “coronavirus czar”.”
Not really. He only facilitates and coordinates information, between the principles - the center of who knows what, and from the principles to DJT and the public. The laws and rules of operation of the CDC and the FDA have not been changed giving pence any direct and immediate role over them. There is no executive order about the task force to the related agencies. I think at best Trump wants everyone involved to do their communications to Pence, instead of directly to Trump.
Maybe set up to fail? That would substantiate the talk of him being replaced. But if that were so, Trump would take more of a back seat now, then come in on white horse.
