The country’s response to global pandemic was branded as the “greatest failure” of any US administration, by Senator Kamala Harris, running mate to US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Harris slammed US President Donald Trump and launched the scathing attack as the debate between her and Vice President Mike Pence.
"The American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country."
Harris, the first Indian-origin American on the US election ballot, said."President and vice president were informed of the pandemic on January 28, and they did not act. They tried to cover it up, the President called it a hoax," she added.
Pence defended President Trump and said that his decision to cancel travel from China was the single most important decision that helped save many lives. He added that from the very first day, President Trump has put the health of the American people first.
"Under President Trump's leadership, Operation Warp Speed, we believe we'll have literally tens of millions of vaccine doses by the end of this year," said Pence.
