Looking out for me. Well, thats Donald Trumps presidency. More than 217,000 americans dead because of covid 19. Nearly 4,000 here in the state of north carolina. By all accounts, a majority of americans agree with the former vice president. The latest nbc news wall street journal polls find 57 of voters disapproved of President Trumps handling of covid19. No telling where this race could go the next 16 days. With me now, the president of the Community Change action, and our latino outreach director for Hillary Clinton and our contributor Brittany Cunningham is an activist and host of the new podcast undistracted and david jacob, he also worked on Hillary Clintons president ial primary bid.

Abraham lincoln told us a house divided cannot stand. Remember what donald trump said . When covid19 deaths reached 200,000 in america, he said if you look at the blue states, the democratic governors, and just look at the red states, the republican governors were doing well. Well, first of all, its not true. The great rise is happened in most of the red states, but thats not the point. Think of what hes saying about whats going 0en in america. Hes saying, if you live in pennsylvania, youre not his problem. If you live in a red state, alabama, he may think about you. Hes not responsible for your familys wellbeing, if youre in a blue state. Folks, i dont see the president that way. I dont see it that way. I dont see america that way. Im running as a proud democrat, but i will govern as an american president for everybody [ horn

Last six days. A million new infections in the u. S. In just the last six days. No other single country has so many cases. In the wake of this awful news, the worsening National Health emergency, we hear nothing, nothing at all from the president of the United States today about the surging number of cases. The soaring number of people who need to be hospitalized and the heartbreaking number of people dying. More than 1,200 americans died from covid19 yesterday alone. Just here in the United States.
