Today, Mike Pence announced his trip to Tampa, Florida tomorrow to meet with Ron DeSantis regarding COVID-19. In response, the Florida Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo:
“Coronavirus cases are spiking in Florida because the Trump administration decided to give up combating this virus, choosing instead to pat each other on the backs and take part in photo-ops flouting CDC recommendations for wearing masks in public,” said FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo. “Now, Mike Pence is returning to Florida to do damage control as the state is seeing an ongoing spike in coronavirus cases. Trump’s handling of this crisis has shown Floridians just how incompetent this administration is, and we’ll make sure voters don’t forget that.”
