As Michigan announces it’s 100,000th COVID-19 case, the Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes:
“Reaching this horrific milestone is a damning indictment of Donald Trump’s failed response to COVID-19. For months, this chaotic president ignored warnings, failed to provide necessary PPE, downplayed the deadly threats to Michiganders, and berated local leaders who dared to act when he refused. Seven months into this pandemic, as our schools struggle to open and Michigan’s working families struggle with an unemployment rate that has doubled, it’s clear Donald Trump still has no real plan to contain this pandemic. But it didn’t have to be this bad. With real leadership in the White House, we could have contained this virus, saved countless lives, put our students back in school, and Michiganders back to work. With leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, I know we can get our state back on track.”
