From NBC's Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann FIRST READ: Trump's retreat on Coronavirus response leaves void for Dem candidates to fill In his five years on the national stage, Donald Trump has rarely missed an opportunity to seize the political advantage. ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP via Getty Images This should have been a week when the president of the United States asserted himself, especially with the Democratic presidential candidates bickering at Tuesday's debate, with the Dem Party more divided than ever, and with the president politically stronger than he was months ago.
And he's allowed some of the candidates vying to replace him to step forward.
TWEET OF THE DAY: Working hard? Or hardly working?
Whistleblower says HHS blew it "Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services sent more than a dozen workers to receive the first Americans evacuated from Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, without proper training for infection control or appropriate protective gear, according to a whistleblower complaint," the Washington Post writes.
2020 VISION: Here's everything you need to know about Saturday's SC primary Fifty-four pledged delegates are up for grabs on Saturday – 35 awarded proportionately by congressional district and 19 awarded proportionately by the statewide vote.
A candidate must meet a 15 percent threshold to qualify to win delegates.
On the campaign trail today: One day before South Carolina's primary, Joe Biden makes stops in Sumter and Spartanburg… Bernie Sanders travels to St. George, Aiken and Columbia before heading to Massachusetts for an evening rally in Springfield… Pete Buttigieg is in Charleston, Fairfax, Sumter and Columbia… Elizabeth Warren stumps in Greenville and Warrenville.. Tom Steyer hits Sumter and Columbia… Outside of South Carolina, Mike Bloomberg campaigns in Tennessee… Amy Klobuchar is in Virginia and Tennessee… And President Trump holds a rally in North Charleston, S.C. at 7:00 pm ET.
Dispatches from NBC's campaign embeds: Something you may not hear from Democratic candidates a lot – campaigning against higher teaching salaries, but Michael Bloomberg toed that line last night, NBC's Maura Barrett reports from Arkansas: "When touting his record in NYC, Bloomberg gave the stat about raising teachers' salaries by 43 percent. He pointed to someone in the crowd who said something we could not hear, but he responded, 'Teacher? You should be happy. You'd think the teacher's union happy? Enough is never enough. Don't ever make that mistake.'"
DATA DOWNLOAD: And the number of the day is … 74 percent. Seventy-four percent.
THE LID: Procrastinators unite! (Maybe tomorrow) Don't miss the pod from yesterday, when we looked at how a dearth of long-term planning can mean a big scramble for campaigns — even if they do well in early contests.
