Biden's virus attacks face harsh reality: worst death tolls are in Democrat-run states

Biden has sharply criticized Trump's handling of the pandemic since the first case was confirmed in the U.S. in late January.

Perhaps more notably, more than a third of the American deaths Biden cited have occurred in the Democrat-run states of New York, New Jersey and California.

Northeast blue states lead the pack According to the data-gathering website Worldometers, 33% of deaths in the U.S.-just under 61,000-come from three Democratic states: New York, New Jersey and California.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who instituted one of the strictest state lockdowns in the country in March in an effort to head off the virus, said during a convention address this week that Trump "Tried to deny the virus, then tried to ignore it, and then tried to politicize it," and that the Trump administration revealed itself as "Dysfunctional and incompetent" in its handling of the pandemic.

Last week the president accused Biden of "Want[ing] to shut down our economy and close our schools and grind society to a halt." Regardless if that is an accurate description of Biden's planned coronavirus response, it does happen to be precisely what the three hardest-hit states in the country did starting in March-all of them run by Democrats.

As November approaches, Biden may continue to criticize the U.S. as having "The worst performance" of any country worldwide, with the blame laid at the feet of the current Republican administration.

Democratic-run New Jersey and New York's respective adjusted death tolls both remain roughly three times the national average.
