DEMS: “The problem is your [North Carolina] governor doesn’t want to reopen. He wants to keep it shut down, and you can’t do that because there’s a lot of bad statistics on the other side. Shutdowns cause problems too with suicide and depression and loss of jobs and loss of a lot of other things. So we have to get your state open. We have to get numerous states open that are run by Democrats, because I really believe, on November 4th, they’re all going to be open. It’s going to be a miracle.”
