The nation watches Sunday night to see if President Trump will be discharged from the hospital by Monday, as doctors at Walter Reed Medical Center are indicating his health “continued to improve”. Moving forward, the political reality of the President’s medical condition will be analyzed since we’re less than a month from election day. “I was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the President, his course of illness has had," said Dr. Sean Conley, who is President Trump’s physician. The fact of the matter is, is that he’s doing really well.”Now questions will swirl in coming weeks about the Trump’s chances in the election, in light of his health. Binder said if the Trump’s health remains in jeopardy long-term, it may ensure a Biden victory.

President Trump announced the news in a tweet, saying he and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive. Later Friday, the White House said the president was being taken to Walter Reed Medical Center for a few days' stay. The president signs a letter authorizing the vice president to lead the nation in his absence, said Michael Binder, associate professor of political science at the University of North Florida. Like the initial letter passing the proverbial baton to the vice president, Binder said, the protocol for a president to resume his duties involves stating in writing that he is prepared to return to office. If a president were to pass away before the election but win re-election, he said, the vice president would become president and name a vice president who would assume office upon Congressional confirmation.
