Trump Could Lose Wisconsin Due To COVID Outbreak

"SNIP....

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) suggested that election night results could be hurt in Wisconsin due to the state being overwhelmed by COVID.

Pocan said in MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports:

I think covid is the biggest issue, right? When you have the kind of covid cases we have and all the problems we have in Wisconsin with it. You know, Donald Trump has lied to people over and over and over. And now the most Republican parts of the state are the areas that have the highest COVID numbers. And our hospitals are literally bursting at the seams, over 85% occupancy, and more in many of these hospitals. It’s certainly on people’s minds. I think this is going to affect the election in a negative way for Donald Trump, because now that people — everyone knows someone who has had COVID. I talked to someone in the Fox Valley, her and her husband knew 27 people who had COVID.

That’s not normal for Wisconsin. And clearly, you know, people now know the president has not been telling them the truth. I think if he’s not telling you the truth about covid, what else isn’t he telling you the truth about? We’re pretty common-sense folks in the upper midwest. I think his messaging doesn’t work.

There are plenty of others being infected, that have taken the virus seriously since the beginning. And they're getting infected by these pieces of shit attending his superspreader rallies.

Wisconsin has been a HUGE disappointment these past few years.
