As America reaches its 200,000th COVID-19 death, the Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes:
“Today, we mourn the 200,000th person to have died from COVID-19. That 200,000 is not just a statistic, it represents real people with friends, family, and loved ones they left behind. It represents nurses, frontline workers, and teachers. The devastating toll of this virus has left our whole nation grieving. It didn’t have to be this bad, but Trump failed us. His failure has caused immeasurable damage to families across Michigan and across our country. This November, we must hold him accountable.”
