The GOP convention hailed the president's handling of the pandemic as having saved lives.
WASHINGTON — The opening night of the Republican National Convention railed against socialism, cancel culture,"woketopians," labor unions and calls to defund the police. But Democrats ignored much of that to keep their focus on President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
"What they will hear from Donald Trump this week are the last things our country needs: more desperate, wild-eyed lies and toxic division in vain attempts to distract from his mismanagement," said Andrew Bates, a spokesperson for Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee."What they won't hear is what American families have urgently needed and been forced to go without for over seven consecutive months: any coherent strategy for defeating the pandemic.
The DNC, which has now essentially fused with the Biden campaign, also launched a TV ad Monday to welcome the"RNC — Republican National chaos."
