DNC Statement on Trump Campaign’s Jackson Fundraiser

Ahead of the Trump campaign’s fundraiser in Jackson, Wyoming today, Democratic National Committee spokesperson John Weber released the following statement:

“Wyomingites don’t need the Trumps parachuting in for a high-d0llar fundraiser. They need tests, personal protective equipment, and a president with the capacity to lead. But nearly seven months after Donald Trump promised that the virus was ‘totally under control,’ the pandemic is still getting worse every day. Working families can’t afford four more years of this incompetence.”
