(WRN) -Senator Tammy Baldwin says that the Trump Administration's response to fight the COVID-19 pandemic is wholly inadequate.She tells MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes" that despite the President's recent declaration on handling the outbreak, he's on the record against public health.
"What is this administration not doing? They've proposed cutting funds to the Centers for Disease Control several years in a row. We've got the restore those cuts."
Baldwin continued...
"The president last May fired his global health response experts who work in the White House at the National Security Council and he has not filled those positions again."
She says that it's a matter of when not if that COVID-19 gets a foothold in the US and begins to spread.
