After pulling off a political miracle in handing responsibility for the reopening over to the governors - making them responsible for any failings while still allowing Trump to take credit for any wins - Trump is now sabotaging himself by appearing to meddle once again in the process.

Less than one full day has passed since President Trump officially delegated responsibility for reopening their economies to the states, and to our surprise, it appears the first governor to start pushing for a May 1 target to begin reopening is Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer.

Michigan has reported a sudden acceleration in deaths in recent days partially thanks to a wave of outbreaks at nursing homes in the state. Michigan also joined a group of 7 Midwestern states which announced yesterday a plan to start a coordinated reopening on May 15.
