After listening to the Holcomb Administration’s press briefing on COVID-19 just now, it’s become very clear that leadership from Governor Holcomb is needed during this time. Indiana is experiencing its worst surge since last winter, and a failure to address Hoosiers is an admission that he’s given up on fighting the pandemic altogether.

Indiana Democrats are bumping up its statement from yesterday in response to this press briefing:

Indiana is ‘on fire’ yet again as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have reached levels not seen since last winter, and yet, Governor Holcomb is forcing the media to chase him down to get answers on how the state is responding to the latest surge brought on by the Delta variant. It’s long past time for Governor Eric Holcomb to provide an update with Hoosiers about the coronavirus,” said Lauren Ganapini, executive director of the Indiana Democratic Party. “Democrats are thankful that Governor Holcomb is one of the few Indiana Republicans who believes in science and consistently promotes the vaccine. However, if he’s unable to be transparent with Hoosiers about his promise to use the ‘facts on the ground’ to guide families out of the pandemic, it’s going to feel like he’s given up on fighting COVID-19 altogether.”
