Trump and his administration have faced criticism for their handling of the pandemic that has claimed more than 213,000 lives in the country, as well as for its lax approach to wearing masks and social distancing in the White House.

Although the national death toll continues to decline, the US has lost an average of 700 lives every day. Health experts warn that the death rate is a lagging indicator and usually increases, as positive cases rise.
