Biden Didn't Say "America is Dead" While Campaigning in Iowa

The Misbar team has determined that this claim is false. According to the blog, "Joe Biden actually told his audience today in Iowa that ‘America is dead’ because of COVID-19."

However, in a video of Joe Biden’s speech, he actually says: “More than 200, and now I think it’s up to 30,000, people have died, Americans dead, because [of] COVID-19 — nearly 1,700 dead right here in Iowa. Iowa hit a record number of daily cases yesterday. It was over 2,300, and a record number of hospitalizations, more than 600. We’ve now hit 9 million cases nationwide.”

As the speech continued, Biden spoke about the coronavirus and criticized how President Trump handled the pandemic. We rate the claim as false.
