DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement after the United States reached 9 million confirmed COVID-19 cases, more than any other country in the world:
“9 million Americans have been infected. Nearly 230,000 have died. 8 million have been pushed into poverty by this administration’s incompetence, and more than 400,000 small businesses have closed for good. But Donald Trump still doesn’t have a plan to do a thing about it. This is his closing argument: more death, more suffering, more economic devastation. The American people can’t afford four more years of cruelty, chaos, and incompetence. In 5 days, we will elect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats across the country and build back better.”
