The former vice president's ability to connect one-on-one is being tested during the coronavirus pandemic.
To mark the anniversary of its launch, Biden's campaign has organized what it calls a “SOUL of the Nation Saturday,” with events across the country focused on showing support for first responders and frontline workers, and promoting communities that are rallying amid the pandemic.
Biden's wife, Jill, has also spent time privately calling friends, students, cancer patients and holding Zoom calls with current and former staffers to check in on their families' well-being. “You had them crying because the thing of it is, you were able to share with them the feelings that they were having because you went through basically the same thing,” Washington said. “And that’s why I believe that he’s our best choice to beat Trump because he understands what we go through every day.
“Have we heard him offer anything that approaches a sincere expression of empathy for the people that are hurting? Have we seen any sign that he grasped just how hard it will be for people to recover from this, not just economically, but physically and emotionally as well?” Biden asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last week.
