Great to have joined @Chikwe_I & @davidakaye on today's @Africa_com panel to discuss #COVID19 trends in Africa. Africa is a diverse continent & the pandemic is unfolding differently across countries. Public health measures should be data-driven & tailored to local conditions.

State of Nevada “thinks” that they can send out illegal vote by mail ballots, creating a great Voter Fraud scenario for the State and the U.S. They can’t! If they do, “I think” I can hold up funds to the State. Sorry, but you must not cheat in elections. @RussVought45@USTreasury
