While citizens support Trump’s handling of the ongoing crisis, they are not satisfied with what he has done with the health-care system. This poll was conducted in the shadow of the Senate’s decision to block Trump’s stimulus package for coronavirus worth $2 trillion for the second time.
President Trump wasn’t satisfied with their decision: “Congress must demonstrate the same bi-partisanship again, and join together to pass the Senate bill as written, and avoid playing any more partisan games. This should not be a time for political agendas, but rather one for focusing solely and squarely on the needs of the American people.”
One of the Senators that voted against this stimulus was Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) who explained her decision: “The taxpayer has a right to know that if the Trump administration wants to hand out $450 billion in a bailout to giant corporations, then by golly, they have a right to know that that money is going to help workers, not to increase executives’ compensation or to boost returns to shareholders.”
