In response to Trump’s “Axios on HBO” interview last night, DNC War Room senior spokesperson and advisor Lily Adams released the following statement:

“Trump’s disastrous interview would be laughable if the stakes weren’t so high. More than 155,000 Americans have died, over 4.7 million have been infected, and we are in the sharpest economic downturn on record, and Trump says ‘it is what it is.’ But it didn’t have to be this way. While Trump continues to downplay the crisis, ignore the experts, and incoherently ramble through misinformation, coronavirus cases are skyrocketing and the economy is spiraling because of his failed response.”
