SALT LAKE CITY – Kamala Harris on Wednesday assailed Donald Trump’s response to COVID-19 as a failure in a high-stakes debate with Vice President Mike Pence against the backdrop of the president’s own infection.
“The American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country,” Harris, a US senator from California and former prosecutor, said in the debate.
Saying Trump treated front-line health personnel as “sacrificial workers,” Harris accused the White House of not taking action despite knowing the risks of COVID-19.
“The president said it was a hoax. They minimized the seriousness of it,” Harris said.(AFP)
