One ruiz is one of around 18000000 unemployed americans. The 56 year old accountant lost his job at a forklift manufacturer after he contract a covert 19. With no job to go back to hes finding it harder to find work than he had expected. Which. Many people are losing their jobs because the companies they work for closed their doors in fact my Company Closed they said they were not selling and shuttered their warehouses. Factories are closing Small Businesses to americans are tightening their belts and thats cause the countrys Gross Domestic Product to drop by a staggering 33 percent last quarter. But its also worth mentioning that if the u. S. Counted g. D. P. Like europe does that it would have only fallen by 10 percent making germanys g. D. P. Drop during the 2nd quarter slightly worse than the u. S. It is. However germany has seen less unemployment. Thanks in part to government backed short term works keeps it satisfied digital pin numbers for germany in q 2 are worse than expected but lets be honest we werent expecting good news in terms of growth the important thing is to put the 2nd quarter behind us and look to the future so everything depends on the course of the corona pandemic.

S. Constitution only congress has the pot on an election. Im joined now by our correspondent in washington all of us out of all over its not surprising that democrats dont like the idea but what about trumps republicans. Tell me more and more of publicans are turning their back on President Trump and many lawmakers today took to twitter as well also to stress that only congress can postpone the elections and thats a phenomenon weve been following since week that republicans are in fact moving away from trump today a very senior voice was added to close ranks with those lawmakers and thats House Minority leader kevin make or carthy who also made clear that President Trump does not have the backing of his party when it comes to postponing the election now its not the 1st time weve heard trump claim that mail in voting could result in massive fraud fraud but has he provided evidence for the claim this time he hasnt today had a press conference just a while ago he was citing some newspaper articles in that matter and repeating basically is claim that he believes that mail in ballots are prone to fraud but thats a false claim and can be considered a false claim because theres simply no hard evidence proving that assumption so why is he doing that one assumption is that the democrats and democratic voters in particular are taking the threat of the coronavirus pandemic will seriously therefore rather open to vote by mail and that would result in a higher democratic turnout which of course is not in favor now critics say trump is trying to postpone the election to a better moment that suits him better where the economy might have approved where a vaccine might have been developed and simply hoping for a better outcome what then does this venture say about trumps political standing right now. Well as of now it is it is unlikely that he will be reelected at this very. Moment in time at least republicans are turning against him and joe biden the Presumptive Democratic candidate is leading by 2 digits the Economic Data as youve mentioned is grim the g. D. P. Down 33 percent. The growth at least and then were topping 150000 casualties in the United States the number of new infections is a record high so the alt look is not good.
