Sessions gives thanks COVID-19 virus could be peaking soon

Former U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions (R) is running for congress again, this time he is running a little further south in CD 17. Sessions was respected fixture in the U.S. House of Representatives for two decades until he lost to now-Rep. Colin Alred (D) during the 2018 mid-term elections.

Sessions, who hasn't missed a beat when it comes to campaigning,  was strongly considering a rematch with Allred, but when Rep. Bill Flores (R) decided he was going to resign his post, Sessions saw an opportunity he couldn't pass up.

Flores' seat currently leans very Republican, so whoever wins the GOP primary race for that seat is all-but assured a spot in the House.

After garnering more votes in his contested primary race back in March, Sessions qualified for the July run-off election, and because of his name recognition and fundraising prowess, its a good bet to make that Sessions will find his way back to Washington.

But with all that said, Sessions, like every other candidate and incumbent, must find a way to move his campaign forward as the Coronavirus continues to spread across America.

With the U.S. being thrown into uncertainty when the pandemic broke, every forecast model you can think of showed a massive infection and death toll across the nation, with the possible peak of the pandemic being in May.

Just as the latest and most credible model from the IHME was release, Sessions was quick to share the good news about the successful social-distancing efforts Americans were making.  the model showed that the U.S. deaths would peak on Easter Day and not at some point in May.

"Gives an additional perspective on "He has Risen." tweeted Sessions

Yes, it does, but Americans should be cautiously optimistic about this new model because after all, there is no vaccine for the COVID-19 virus, and who's to say that a second wave with a second peak doesn't sneak up on us?
