America has now reached a tragic milestone, with 10 million recorded cases of COVID-19. We now have lost more than 230,000 of our fellow Americans to this disease.

Dear Democratic Colleague:
 

Across the country, people have had to wait days to learn who our next president will be, but Americans have been waiting far longer to see the kind of rapid economic rebound that President Trump and his advisors have been promising since the beginning of this pandemic. 

There can be no mistaking the truth: our economy is in a crisis the likes of which we have not seen in our lifetimes.

American voters face a decision this election season between starkly different policies on nearly every issue. But, on one issue in particular, that choice could not be more stark. When it comes to ensuring access to affordable health care, voters are being asked to select between those who wish to protect and expand that access and those who want to dismantle it.

The bill brought to the Senate Floor today is yet another example of Republicans’ refusal to take this pandemic seriously. It shows that Senate Republicans have no interest in providing relief to the American people, who so desperately need it, or in defeating this virus.

I talked to the Speaker this morning, Rhonda, and she is optimistic. I won't say hopeful, but she is optimistic that they can get to an agreement. I think [Secretary] Mnuchin and [Speaker] Pelosi are relatively close.

I strongly disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Trump Administration to subvert the 2020 Census by ending it early.

Yesterday, President Trump reflected the same impulsiveness, irrationality, and irresponsibility that has characterized his entire presidency. In doing so, he put our economy and millions of Americans at risk. He has shown how dangerous he is as the President of the greatest nation on earth.
