On a recent account on Wednesday, Senator Kamala Harris, who is the vice presidential pick of the Democratic Party, held President Donald Trump accountable for the increasing coronavirus cases in the United States. Harris noted Trump as “delusional” for not taking the rise of the coronavirus seriously from the beginning of the said outbreak.
“This virus has impacted almost every country, but there’s a reason it has hit America worse than any other advanced nation. It’s because Trump failed to take it seriously from the start.”

In addition to that, Harris also stated that Trump’s refusal to perform testing and implement proper social distancing measures with his belief that he knows better than field experts is what led to the many American lives lost due to Covid-19.
Response from the White House has yet to be released. On the other hand, Tim Murtaugh, tasked to lead in President Trump’s campaign communications, responded to Harris saying that the president has been spearheading the nation throughout the crisis and prohibited travels from China and Europe since the start of the year.
Murtaugh believes that the president’s decision “saved countless lives” and that the United States of America would have been in a worse condition if Joe Biden was president.
In a data record of John Hopkins University, the United States was seen as the worst in the world, with greater than five million cases of coronavirus accompanied by almost one hundred and sixty-six thousand deaths.
Experts on public health agree to hold President Trump accountable, pointing out that the current administration failed to contain the coronavirus and decrease its spread correctly. They believe that the administration lacked timely and coordinated collaboration between the states and the federal government, which to the severity of the pandemic.
Senator Harris also noted that while other countries are “flattening the curve” of the Covid-19 cases, businesses in the United States of America had to “shut down” to compensate for the rising number of cases.
Biden and Harris’ partnership brings forth a strong collaboration in combating coronavirus’s struggle should the Democratic Party win in the presidential election of 2020. Senator Kamala Harris is known for advocating for free testing for the coronavirus and mass face mask distribution. She also headed legislation to eliminate health-care differences for people of color.
Moreover, the senator initiated to include federal laws preventing landlords from evicting renters and checks per month for those who make less than $120,000.
