Atlanta, Ga. — Today, President Donald Trump tweeted that he is ending economic relief negotiations until after the Presidential Election, leaving Georgia families and small businesses without long overdue economic help while millions remain jobless and many small businesses have closed or are on the brink of insolvency.
In response, investigative journalist and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Jon Ossoff released the following statement:
“President Trump and Senator Perdue insisted COVID-19 was no worse than the ordinary flu. They lied about the risk, undermined doctors and scientists, and failed to prepare our country for the worst public health emergency in generations. Now, with more than 200,000 Americans dead and millions out of work, they’ve abandoned the economic relief effort. They’ve demonstrated total disregard for the health and well-being of ordinary people, and they must be defeated soundly in this election. Early Voting opens on Monday,” said Ossoff.
