Michelle Obama and Bernie Sanders headline the first night of a virtual Democratic National Convention.
WASHINGTON – Democrats are aiming for a show of unity during the first night of their party's virtual nominating convention – and a show of star power.
Democrats released excerpts of remarks from Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent who was Biden’s last-standing primary challenger, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican. American Bridge said the ad is the first to draw “a direct line between Trump’s misinformation and downplaying of the coronavirus with the death of a Trump supporter.”
Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said Trump and his allies are trying to cover up their own"appalling failed leadership" that includes more than 167,000 COVID deaths and"one of the worst recessions on record."
