Republicans fear backlash over Trump's threatened veto on Confederate names
President Trump touted the new June jobs numbers at a hastily scheduled press briefing Thursday where he left before taking any questions.
“Today’s announcement proves that our economy is roaring back, it’s coming back extremely strong,” Trump said, about an hour after the federal jobs report was released showing that the U.S. economy added 4.8 million jobs during the month of June, a record single-month gain.
The U.S. on Wednesday reported more than 50,000 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus as states across the nation paused reopening plans due to a recent surge in infections.
The figure represented a new single-day high in the country, which has reported approximately 2.6 million total cases of COVID-19 and 128,000 deaths caused by it. Health officials on Wednesday reported about 50,700 confirmed virus cases, according to a Johns Hopkins University database, marking a jump from the previous single-day high of 45,300 cases.
