Sanders says the first coronavirus priority is to 'shut this president up right now'
Bernie Sanders said during Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate that his first priority in the fight against coronavirus is to rebut any misinformation coming from President Trump.
Sanders also said that the coronavirus crisis facing the United States showed the need for Medicare for All, his signature proposal, which would move Americans to a government-run health care system. But then Biden pivoted and launched the first attack of the night at his rival for the Democratic nomination, painting Medicare for All as irrelevant when dealing with a public health crisis like the coronavirus.
Story continuesLater in the debate, both Biden and Sanders were in agreement about the additional precautions they were each taking on the campaign trail. Both said they were hosting “virtual” events with supporters, had asked their respective staffs to work from home, and were being personally careful with their hygiene.
