The coronavirus pandemic has been a major topic of discussion for the past year, with many questions still unanswered. On Sunday, US Congressman Jim Himes spoke on NBC’s “Meet the Press” to discuss the latest developments.
He was joined by Republican Congressman Mike Turner of Ohio and Ranking Democrat Jim Himes of Connecticut. The discussion was focused mainly on the role of China in the pandemic. Himes said that China should be forthcoming in getting to the bottom of the situation.
“We have so few facts because the Chinese regime has obfuscated,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said on NBC's “Meet the Press.” He also stated that on Tuesday that China should be forthcoming in getting to the bottom of whether a laboratory leak caused the coronavirus pandemic.
Himes is part of the “Gang of Eight,” the top leaders of Congress and of the intelligence community. He and Turner were asked about the briefings that have been given to the “Gang of Eight”. Himes indicated that both were unsatisfied with the information that had been provided.
The discussion then moved on to the role of Congress in finding solutions to the pandemic. Himes said that Congress needs to act quickly to send a bill to the president’s desk to provide relief to those affected by the pandemic. He also advocated for stronger measures to prevent the spread of the virus, such as mandating the use of face masks and other protective devices.
Himes was later interviewed on “Face the Facts”, where he discussed what to expect from Congress in the coming months. He said that Congress needs to pass a bill that will provide relief to those affected by the pandemic. He also urged Congress to act quickly and to pass a bill that will provide aid to those affected by the pandemic.
Overall, Himes’s statements on the pandemic were encouraging. He urged Congress to act quickly to send a bill to the president’s desk to provide relief to those affected by the pandemic. He also advocated for stronger measures to prevent the spread of the virus, such as mandating the use of face masks and other protective devices.
It is clear that Congressman Jim Himes recognizes the urgency of the situation and is working hard to ensure that Congress takes the necessary steps to provide relief to those affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
