Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh has told Democratic presidential nominee Biden that he is "rooting against Americans and their prosperity" on Thursday.

"We are already seeing the incredible growth, people [are] talking about V-shaped curves," Murtaugh told Fox News.

Murtaugh said Biden laughed. He noted Biden needs to see the bad news.

He said what is good news for Americans is bad news for Joe Biden.

Murtaugh said this after Biden suggested spending $700 billion on American products and research to bring back millions of jobs lost due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The U.S. President Donald Trump is focused on economic recovery and bringing back jobs, Murtaugh said.

"Since the coronavirus crisis hit, the president's economic message has been even stronger," Murtaugh was quoted in a report.

COVID-19 Updates

Coronavirus cases are increasing in Alabama, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, and Wisconsin.

These states have hit their records for being single-day high new cases.

The U.S. also recorded 800 deaths from the virus for three weeks straight.

A chance that the fatality rate could be catching up with the increase in new cases.

Health official Dr. Anthony S. Fauci said some states should consider "shutting down" again if there is a significant increase in cases.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has revised its description of how the coronavirus spreads.

WHO said that it might stay in the air, especially in indoor settings with poor ventilation, and called for more research.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the cases are still increasing.

More than 1,000 Transportation Security Administration employees have tested positive for the virus.

Almost all of the employees are security officers who have screened passengers at airports during the pandemic.

Hospitals are in the near full volume, especially in their intensive care units.

This can be mainly seen in hospitals in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California.
