Pence vows to 'keep opening up America' as U.S. sets new record for coronavirus cases

, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, marking the highest single-day total yet as the virus sweeps through Sun Belt states.

Pence said the White House wants to "make sure these states have everything they need" to fight the outbreak.All 50 states have begun relaxing their strict social distancing measures, which aimed to slow the spread of the virus but ground their economies to a virtual halt. But amid the surge in infections,

many state leaders in recent weeks have re-imposed restrictions and delayed other businesses and activities from resuming"I think some places might have been overexuberant," Trump's top economic advisor Larry Kudlow told reporters Thursday after the president finished his remarks and left the White House briefing room without taking questions.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who also stuck around after Trump's departure, said that the White House is "encouraging Americans to wear masks" despite the administration rejecting calls to impose a national mask mandate. Trump said in an interview Wednesday doubted that a national mandate was necessary because "you have many places in the country where people stay very long distance."

It’s so hard for trump and his supporters to understand that masks save life. Probably not yours, maybe someone else’s.

Nah, ... Harry & Hermione have a POTION !

With new coronavirus cases hitting a high, Trump revisits his fantasy: The virus will just go away

Have he & the family been at the beach lately?

Genius!🥶

Help:

Pray it away, boys!

Will this CNBC's host talk comfortably for 1 hour or longer in his show with a facemask stuck on his mouth ? Probably he would get asthma attack rather than coronavirus.

Such proven benefits... lol

So wait, what’s pro-life mean?

We don't listen to your opinion on anything

He should just stopped after he said I don’t think.

Ugh. Still NO NATIONAL LEADERSHIP ON MASKS except from Surgeon General BEGGING everyone to mask up, and Fauci / Birx also hammering the message.

Lap dog.

I wear a mask so that guy living off the grid in Montana is protected. National mandates are BS. All of these issues are local responsibility for states, cities and counties.

Hopefully, rick ones share some $$$ with the poor one, specifically the small businesses owner

STFU VP & wear a 😷

Admit you guys made a mistake and put American lives first.

We have highly respected, well educated specialists in epidemiology and virology who say otherwise. What do you know that they don't Sit down and defer to the scientists. 125+k dead - millions infected and numbers rising. You and trump have failed miserably.

Wish POTUS and VP simply said: Masks are for states to decide, or the CDC, politicians have no federal authority. And that Jan Hatzius of Goldman Sachs has no qualifications the CDC doesn't have. By playing the media game, Trump risks being blamed for the surge.

VP remains a clueless liar

Of course. A Federal requirement to wear masks in public could be confused with actual leadership, which Trump and Pence are avoiding at all costs.

Masks mask masks... To forse people to wear masks is a Presidential nightmare. The lawsuits would be ramped with a mandate. It infringes on our rights for freedom. It's up to business to mandate masks the President.

Because he knows most people would not put up with that.

That is what we elect Governors for!

Sighhhhhh.....

Murderer.

Jackass

Puleaaasee, Pence gets all tingling thinking of a mandate

Will he change his tune at 100k cases per day?
