Joe Biden's running mate from the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris, has made a campaign stop in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In her speech, Senator Harris took a strong stance against the US president and encouraged voters to get out and cast their ballot.

However, what really attracted the attention of those who observed the speech is that Joe Biden's VP pick claimed that 220 million Americans had died from COVID-19 - that is 2/3 of the whole US population, according to 2019 data.

Meanwhile, according to Johns Hopkins University, the total number of fatal coronavirus cases has just risen beyond 220,000.
