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 work schemes its g. D. P.

President donald trump has drawn across Party Criticism after suggesting a possible delay in the 2020 election currently trails Democrat Joe Biden in opinion polls as north or 18 to change the date which is set by law back tracked but continues to push claims that any increase in mail in voting due to the coronavirus endemic would result in fraud. Even for President Trump it was a rapid u. Turn after floating the idea of delaying novembers election only hours later he was walking it back i dont want to. I want to have the election but i also dont want to have to wait for 3 months. That the ballots are missing and the election doesnt mean anything earlier on thursday trump tweeted that universal miley in voting would make the 2020 elections the most inaccurate and fraudulent in history he called for the election to be postponed until people can vote securely and safely the suggestion was soundly rejected on both sides of politics democratic speaker of the house nancy pelosi quoted the constitution which gives congress the sole power to set election dates. Even leading republicans distance themselves. Never in the history of the federal elections have we ever not held an election and we should go forward with our election we should we should have absentee voting but is masts just yelling out ballots without having any checks and balances without people requesting really brings concern in there but no way should we ever not hold election on the day that. As the coronavirus surges in the Us Donald Trump is doubling down on his attacks on 1000000 voting despite a lack of evidence to support his claims critics say he merely wants to distract from the pandemic and the economic crisis hurting his bid to stay in the white house. Im joined now by our correspondent in washington all of a salad 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 off 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 on the matter and repeating basically his 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 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 talking 150000 casualties in the United States the number of new infections is at a record high so the alt look is not good and trump said it himself that the situation will deteriorate before it improves and if that does not happen very quickly then the chances are really bad for him to be reelected ok all of a sudden in washington many thanks and us take a look at some of the stories making news around the world.
