White House sources say President Trump is preparing to announce a second coronavirus task force.
This one would be solely focused on reopening the nation’s economy.
The task force would likely include some senior White House staff from the Treasury Department, the National Economic Council, the Labor Department and the Department of Commerce.
But it may also include several corporate CEOs, owners of sports teams and well-known athletes.
Trump has expressed interest in a “big bang” reopening, where the entire country comes back online at once on May 1.
But Trump’s power to reopen the economy is limited.
Individual governors will likely reverse any mandatory orders based on their state’s needs and many Americans will need to feel comfortable before returning into the public.
