The announcement comes after Democrats in the Senate passed a huge $1.9 trillion COVID relief package despite objections from the GOP.

The former president noted that the 2020 election showed the division in the US today, adding that there’s a sense in the United States where “the truth doesn’t even matter.”

The government's handling of the pandemic, childcare, unemployment relief and other sensitive topics has made it progressively harder for republicans and democrats to work together.

The president hopes that a rushed confirmation of Judge Barrett could free up the senate to work on a coronavirus relief package.

Mega cap stocks like Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple are currently well below their peak, and they are expected to increase in value by between 20% and 25% over the coming few months.

There have been growing concerns about the president’s messages during this time of crisis, so he will now focus on talking about the economy on his briefings moving forward.
