Donald Trump's economic coronavirus response is critiqued by Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is working with his colleagues in the Senate to introduce legislation that can help everyday people financially survive the pandemic. Brown also discusses a potential VP pick for Joe Biden, plus the racial disparities in the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. And: Trump's coronavirus plan for states is critiqued by Rep. Madeleine Dean, who tells Joy Reid, 'We have to be guided by the science, and the humanity.' Then: Communities of color are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, in terms of infection rates and deaths. What can be done to address these disparities threatening black, Native American, undocumented, and additional communities? Joy Reid and her panel discuss. Plus: Trump's white working class voters apparently often align with GOP plutocrats on the president's coronavirus response, and the push to reopen the economy. Jane Mayer, staff writer at The New Yorker, joins Joy Reid to explain. Next: Donald Trump voters are fueling protests against stay at home orders in some states experts say, as these picketers are also slammed for evoking the black civil rights movement in the language of their demands. Finally: Coronavirus relief for small businesses has gone to many large firms such as chain restaurants, according to reports. Joy Reid and her panel discuss the tiny firms who say they were pushed out of the small business bailout, and what can be done about it. All this, plus Barack Obama's endorsement of Joe Biden in full, in this Sunday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
