Sen. Durbin on racial disparity in COVID-19 cases in Illinois: “In the 21st century it is unacceptable to have these gross health disparities, particularly against people who are African Americans.”
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss how Congress needs to continue work on a bipartisan basis for coronavirus relief, which he says Mitch McConnell did not do before he attempted to
