Gov. Holcomb Forfeits Weekly COVID-19 Press Conferences

The Indiana Democratic Party, the organization that advocates for the future of Indiana and its families, today criticized Governor Eric Holcomb for giving up his weekly COVID-19 press conferences just as Indiana begins to experience yet another spikein coronavirus cases. Holcomb is putting his politics ahead of science, facts, and his duties as Governor, and instead is creating a moment he promised wouldn’t happen. This decision to rush Indiana out of COVID-19 is not only irresponsible, but it’s set to bring further damageto the state as more Hoosiers will inevitably get sick — or worse. 

The Indiana Democratic Party knows the entire situation could’ve been prevented had Governor Holcomb brushed off his political party’s hyper partisan demands and instead governed with a common-sense, fact-based approach. This rhetorical grandstanding by the Indiana Republican Party is why Hoosiers are losing trust in them to look after the best interests of Indiana and its families.
