President Trump and Vice President Pence in a press conference Tuesday discussed the possibility of deploying active-duty service members in the fight against the coronavirus, just a day after Pentagon officials had tried to temper public expectations of a role for the military. As governors in 18 states have mobilized the National Guard to aid in the fight against COVID-19, the question of using the U.S. military in the emergency has taken on more urgency. The president’s tone has also become markedly more somber, going from saying on Sunday that his administration had “tremendous control” of the outbreak to acknowledging Monday that the pandemic was “not under control” anywhere in the world, and that “it’s bad.”
