President Trump is standing up for working families in this crisis


While Democrats in Congress stall on economic relief for American workers and businesses, the President is standing up for all those affected by this global pandemic.

Today, President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence held a “virtual townhall” with Fox News from the White House. While answering questions from citizens, the President put Democrat leaders on notice: Stop holding Senate negotiations hostage for a partisan wish list that has nothing to do with Coronavirus or protecting our economy.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are putting their donor base first. They want a relief package that has “nothing to do with the workers—that had to with an agenda that they’ve been trying to get passed for 10 years,” President Trump said.

Americans sprang into action last week in response to President Trump’s call to help slow the spread of Coronavirus. Millennials and other young Americans are doing their part, and many want to know how else they can help.

White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx says there are important ways that young people can contribute.

“The way the Millennials can help us is help your parents and grandparents understand each of these issues,” she said. “Help them get connected by media or phones or videoconferencing so they don’t have to leave their houses.”

Of course, continuing to avoid crowds is key. “You’re the group that’s most likely to be [spreading the] virus without knowing it,” she added.

Public health experts have shared other ways that everyone can do their part:
