Under political cover, Republicans finally break ranks with Trump


Under political cover, Republicans finally break ranks with Trump

An ABC/Washington Post poll released Sunday shows Americans overall find President Trump to be more divisive, less representative of their personal values, less understanding of American ideals and everyday problems, less trustworthy, and simply less likable than presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. And his handling of the pandemic — or failure to handle it, more precisely — is being blamed for the country’s current surge in COVID-19 cases, with Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and other states that followed President Trump’s lead in dismissing precautionary measures, such as mask wearing and social distancing, among the hardest hit. In the six months since coronavirus was detected in the United States, more than 3.7 million cases have been diagnosed and nearly 140,000 people have died from it. And it’s getting worse, with weekly averages of new cases increasing every day for the past six weeks.
