Ahead of the US General Election, which has since been won by former Vice President Joe Biden, the current and outgoing US President Donald Trump sought help from celebrities and athletes to help boost his popularity, specifically when it came to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Politico the Trump administration considered producing a number of public service announcements featuring household names who would be willing to help the President convince the public that the COVID-19 pandemic was being handled well. The pandemic has killed over 242,000 Americans. 1,893 Americans died from COVID-19 yesterday.
