DNC Statement on Trump Campaign Fundraiser

Ahead of the Trump campaign’s fundraiser in Colts Neck, New Jersey today, Democratic National Committee spokesperson John Weber released the following statement:

“Thousands of New Jerseyans have lost their lives in this pandemic, and hundreds of thousands have lost work. At every turn, Donald Trump’s incompetence has made this crisis worse, leaving working families to pick up the pieces. As cases continue spiking across the country, we need a president who will put our health and livelihoods first. We can’t afford four more years of Trump’s chaos, and we’re going to bring this failed presidency to an end come November.”
