Joe Biden releases statement in response to President Trump's visit to Macon
WASHINGTON (WGXA) - Former Vice President and current Presidential candidate Joe Biden released a statement Friday morning ahead of President Trump's visit to Macon.
Biden says, "President Trump has continued to host events that disregard public health guidance, including his own CDC, and is now taking his disregard for COVID-19 to Macon, Georgia, where numbers are spiking yet again. Due to President Trump’s failed leadership, 7,500 Georgians have lost their lives to the coronavirus and nearly 200,000 remain unemployed, all while he threatens to take away protections from 4.4 million Georgians with pre-existing conditions.
As President, I will build our country back better and protect and expand the Affordable Care Act. I urge all Georgians to make your voices heard in this election."
President Trump is expected to land at the Macon Regional Airport at 6:40 p.m. on Friday before taking the stage at 7:00 p.m. for the 'Make America Great Again' rally.
WGXA News will be in attendance of Friday night's rally.
