House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote to President Donald Trump on Thursday to request that federal flags be lowered to mark the number of COVID-19 deaths when the toll reaches 100,000 in the United States.

The two suggested that the measure would mark the “sad day of reckoning” when the threshold is met.
