What happens if COVID-19 incapacitates Trump: possible scenarios

If US President Donald Trump becomes seriously ill, incapacitated or unable to fill his duties during his term and his re-election campaign, the US Constitution spells out options for his replacement, temporary or otherwise. The scenarios if Trump must drop out of the election are less clear, and could be subject to political manoeuvring should there be divides in the Republican party. Trump said Friday that he and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19 and will be in quarantine while they recover. style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;">
