American electionsTo hold(November 3) In one day, the White House accused American anti-epidemic expert Fauci of “playing politics” and assisting Democratic presidential candidate Biden in the elections.
The number of confirmed deaths of new crowns in the United States exceeds other countries in the world. According to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, the number of deaths in the United States has already exceeded 230,000, and the number of confirmed cases registered has exceeded 9 million.
In an interview with the Washington Post published on Saturday night (October 31), Fauci was asked how he evaluated the performance of the two presidential candidates in the fight against the epidemic, saying that Biden is “taking this seriously since a public health perspective. A problem, “and Trump” looks at (the new corona epidemic) from the perspective of restarting the economy and lifting the blockade. “
Fauci also said the United States needs to make “sudden changes” in public health habits and behavior.
These comments drew strong condemnation from the White House, which accused Fauci of trying to support Biden.
The White House criticizes Fauci’s statements
White House spokesman Judd Deere said these comments were “unacceptable and violated all codes.”
“As a member of the (US COVID-19) task force, Fauci has a responsibility to raise concerns or promote strategic change, but did not do so. Instead, he chose to criticize President Trump and express his political leanings in the media and praise the president. adversary. “
The new crown epidemic is one of the key issues in the 2020 US presidential election.
Biden called Trump’s handling of the new corona pandemic an “insult” to the victims. The Democratic candidate promised that if elected “he will let science dominate the decision.”
Biden told voters this week: “Even if I win, it will take a lot of work to end the pandemic. I promise: I will do the right thing from day one (in the White House).”
At a rally in Arizona, Trump warned that the Biden presidency would create further lockdowns and economic suffering for Americans.
“If you vote for Biden, it means the boy has no school, no graduation ceremony, no marriage to marry, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, no way to celebrate Independence Day. Besides, you have a good life. I don’t see anyone, but it’s okay. “
He sees this presidential election as “the choice between Trump’s super recovery and the Great Depression that Biden will bring.”
Biden has been complying with the COVID-19 code of conduct in pre-voting activities, while Trump has held large campaign rallies without social distancing measures.
Biden’s lead in the United States is greater than that of Republican President Trump, but his lead in America’s few swing states is narrow. These states can vote in any way to finally decide who will be in the White House.
Senior Officer Fauci
This is not the first time the White House has accused Fauci. After the new corona epidemic broke out in the United States and got out of hand, the conflict between Trump and Fauci became public. One is the president who wants to revive the economy and the other is a scientist who knows how to better control the epidemic. Trump rarely followed Fauci’s advice directly. Fauci publicly criticized the White House’s anti-epidemic strategy, and the White House publicly attacked Fauci.
In the summer of 2020, many White House officials “shot” Fauci, saying they were concerned about the number of mistakes he made. White House officials cited a number of comments from Fauci, including his relevant comments during the new corona pneumonia epidemic and several previous interviews. These include Fauci’s underestimation of the dangers of the new corona virus in the early days of the epidemic, and the suggestion that “there is no need to walk in a mask” in March.
Fauci responded to this incident at the time, believing that the Trump administration’s attacks would only hurt himself. The academic community believes that Fauci’s recommendations for masks will be adjusted according to changes in the epidemic situation and public health awareness of the epidemic.
The contradiction between Fauci and Trump is made public Can Trump, who loves speculation, “fire” Fauci?
CNN explained that it is technically difficult to do. Under US federal law, Trump has no right to directly fire Fauci, director of the American Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as an official.
As a member of the senior executive branch, Fauci can only be fired by his direct supervisor, that is, the Secretary of Health and Human Services or the director of the National Institutes of Health.
Although Trump can ask Fauci’s direct boss to fire Fauci, Fauci can appeal, which is a long process.
White House officials previously stated that Trump is highly unlikely to take this action. Turns out, Trump didn’t do this either.
No matter who enters the White House, Fauci will continue to seek his own political power and continue to lead the United States in the fight against the epidemic.
