US President Donald Trump looked to distract from the virus' deadly toll by seizing on Joe Biden's comment in Thursday night's debate that America should shift its reliance on oil toward greater renewable energy use.

With the election less than two weeks away and more than 50 million ballots already cast, the fresh dispute over energy gave Trump a chance to shift the campaign away from his mishandling of a pandemic that's killed nearly 224,000 Americans and argue that Biden's remarks could cost him five or six states on Election Day.

Several down-ballot Democrats in states with close ties to the energy industry — including two of House Democrats' most vulnerable incumbents, Reps. Xochitl Torres Small of New Mexico and Kendra Horn of Oklahoma — distanced themselves from Biden's comments, using it as a chance to highlight an area of disagreement with the top of the ticket.

The President claimed that was the big"whoa" of the debate in Nashville and once again cited states he said would be affected:"Texas are you watching? Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Ohio are you watching?" Trump said. The President's scare tactics on energy were part of his broader argument Friday that the election is a choice between a"Trump super recovery" and a Biden"depression."

By contrast, US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams warned that this week will probably mark"our highest number of cases that we've ever had on a daily basis in the United States." Speaking at Meridian Global Leadership Summit, he said hospitalizations, which generally lag behind cases, are starting to go up in 75% of the jurisdictions across the country. That trend has often been followed by a rise in deaths.

"If this is a success, what's a failure look like? We're more than eight months into this crisis, and the President still doesn't have a plan," Biden said."He's given up. He's quit on you. He's quit on your family. He's quit on America."

What's wrong with that? It should have been started long ago. That is also the proposition of AOC which has been adopted in a mellowed form by Biden. It has the support of the American mass, but of course the oil billionaires hate it.

cnn really hate trumph :D
