Speaking from his home in Delaware via livestream, former Vice President Joe Biden called for a far more urgent and better-coordinated response to the coronavirus pandemic from the White House.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, the leading Democratic candidate for president, called for a far more urgent and better coordinated response to the coronavirus pandemic from the White House, in his first remarks of a new effort to reach voters while the campaign is essentially on hold.
Biden noted that the president has likened this to war and describes himself as a"wartime president." "Then start to act like one," Biden admonished. Biden referenced the daily press briefings the president has been having with his coronavirus task force. Biden said such briefings offer important opportunities to inform and reassure the American public, adding"they are not a place for political attacks or to lash out at the press." The president has frequently done so at the daily news conferences.
