After expressing his sympathies for the death of his friend and one-time presidential candidate, Herman Cain, the president talked about his support for a temporary expansion of unemployment benefits for those impacted by the coronavirus and getting kids back to school in the fall. When asked by reporters about his tweets regarding delaying the 2020 Presidential election, President Trump said he "wants to have the result of the election" and doesn't want to be "waiting around for weeks, months, and literally, potentially, if you really did it right, years, because you'll never know."
