Joe Biden has a national screening and treatment and vaccine plan: Kamala Harris
Washington:
Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris says the Trump administration was the “biggest failure” of any presidential administration in US history as she condemned President Donald Trump for “failing” to manage the coronavirus crisis.
Ms Harris said millions and millions of people are suffering because of Trump’s failure and that the United States needs a new president “who will embrace science, who will be guided by facts and truth, will tell the truth to the American people and have a plan. “
Ms Harris, in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, said Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has a national plan for testing and treatment and vaccines, which will be free.
“The president and this administration was the biggest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country. Just go back to what they knew and when they knew it, and let’s start with January 28, when the president, the Vice President were informed that this thing was fatal, that it could injure children, that it was five times more deadly than the flu, that it was suspended in the air, and they withheld this information. They did not share it with the American people, “Ms. Harris alleged.
More than 7.9 million people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the United States and 2.17,000 people have died so far.
“And you put that in the context of the president’s failure to tell the American people what was going on so that they could protect themselves and their families, let alone so that we could have a president and leaders in our. countries that had a plan to deal with, ”she said.
This presidential election, she said, offers a clear contrast to the American people.
“On the one hand, there is Joe Biden, who since March says that the plan he had in mind had to be implemented. Biden, who has modeled the right behavior in terms of wearing a mask. Meanwhile, Donald Trump spoke up and laughed at him, and then later, of course, we know what happened, ”she said.
Ms Harris said she and her campaign had made efforts to implement COVID-19 restrictions during the campaign.
“We’ve been very safe and, you know, again the president laughed at us. But we wear masks. We, you know, social distancing … You don’t kiss people these These days. It’s not an option. You can’t shake hands, “she said.
But you can look people in the eye, and you can listen, and you can be there, she added.
Harris acknowledged that it was certainly a different type of campaign than anything they’ve done before. But “we’re making the most of it, and people are engaged. And they’re engaged online,” she said.
Claiming that she has faith in the American people and in democracy, Harris alleged that Trump is a threat to democracy and the integrity of democratic institutions.
“I don’t think there is any question about it, let alone its complicity with foreign actors who are trying to interfere in our election in 2020, as they did in 2016,” he said. she declared.
But American democracy will always be as strong as the will of the American people to fight for their democracy.
“And so it’s strong if you watch what people are doing while we talk, again, standing in line, ready to take legal action if necessary, but registering people to vote, talking with their friends and neighbors of what is at stake, “she said.
