Trump's administration "Greatest Failure" of all in U.S History: Kamala Harris

Washington
October 15, 2020

Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has said that the Trump administration has been the "greatest failure" of any presidential administration in the U.S history as she condemned President Donald Trump for "failing" to handle the Coronavirus crisis.

Ms. Harris said millions and millions of people are suffering due to Trump's failure and the U.S needs a new president "who will embrace science, who will be guided by fact and truth and speak truth to the American people and have a plan."

Ms. Harris, in an interview on Wednesday, said that Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden has a national plan for testing and for treatment and for vaccines, which will be free.

"The President and this administration have been the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country. You just go back to what they knew and when they knew it and let's start with January 28 when the president, the vice president were informed that this thing was deadly, that it could hurt children, that it was five times more deadly than the flu, that it was airborne and they covered up that information. They didn't share it with the American people," Ms. Harris alleged.

Over 7.9 million people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the U.S and 2,17,000 people have died so far.

"And you put that in the context of the president's failure to tell the American people what was going on so they could protect themselves and their families, much less so that we could have a president and leadership in our country who had a plan to deal with it," she said.

This Presidential election, she said, offers a clear contrast to the American people.

"On the one hand, there is Joe Biden, who since March has been saying that the plan that he has had in mind should be implemented. Biden, who has been modeling the right behavior in terms of wearing a mask. Meanwhile, Donald Trump took the debate stage and made fun of him and then later, of course, we know what happened," she said.
