Joe Biden blasted rival President Donald Trump during a speech in Michigan on Wednesday just hours after it was revealed that Trump admitted he initially tried to downplay the threat of the coronavirus that has now killed 190,000 Americans.
Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden boards an airplane to travel to Michigan at the New Castle County Airport on September 09, 2020 in New Castle, Delaware. Biden is campaigning in Michigan, a state President Donald Trump won in 2016 by less than 11,000 votes, the narrowest margin of victory in the state's presidential election history.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Wednesday that Trump"never downplayed the virus," but taped recordings released earlier in the day feature Trump admitting that he did."I wanted to always play it down.
