Biden during a campaign speech in Philadelphia said: “If Donald Trump has his way, the complications from COVID-19, which are well beyond what they should be it’s estimated that 200 million people have died probably by the time I finish this talk.”
There are only around 331 million people in the United States and Biden is saying more than half will die of COVID before the end of his speech.
Joe Biden said during a campaign speech in Philadelphia that about 200 million people have died of the coronavirus in the US — or nearly two-thirds of the population — though the number is just shy of 200,000.
“If Donald Trump has his way, the complications from COVID-19, which are well beyond what they should be — it’s estimated that 200 million people have died — probably by the time I finish this talk,” the Democratic presidential nominee said Sunday, according to Fox News.
Biden made a similar comment when he added several extra zeroes to the nation’s coronavirus death toll during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania in June.
“Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID,” the former veep said at the time before correcting himself to say “120,000,” which was not captured by the pool cameraman.
2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden had another gaffe on Sunday when he said an estimated 200 million people have already died from the coronavirus, even though the number of American casualties is closer to 200,000.
“If Donald Trump has his way, the complications from COVID-19, which are well beyond what they should be — it’s estimated that 200 million people have died — probably by the time I finish this talk,” he said during a campaign speech.
The U.S. population is estimated to be slightly 328 million people, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nation would have perished from the disease by now if Biden’s verbal screw-up was true.
Biden really needs to just go down into hisbasement and hibernate until he concededes in the election.
