The 2020 Major League Baseball season has currently been put on hold until further notice due to coronavirus concerns.
“The challenge” is a social media campaign charging prominent and well-off U.S. citizens with doing good deeds for first responders and medical workers.
Hannity, a personal friend of President Trump’s, has spent time on his nightly news program thanking first responders and praising Trump’s response to the pandemic. Some pundits and academics, however, have slammed Hannity for downplaying the dangers of the coronavirus during its early days.
