Now the pressure is on the President to right his own campaign as he heads into the Republican National Convention next week. He must now match Biden's well-received appearance and try to generate excitement for his reelection campaign at a time when many Americans are rightly focused on the pandemic. "Where Joe Biden sees American darkness, I see American greatness," Trump said in remarks that foreshadowed the GOP message at the convention next week. Like Pence, Trump said during a White House briefing Wednesday that he didn't know anything about the theories embraced by QAnon followers. "I've heard these are people that love our country," Trump said.
