Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Thursday called on the presidential crusade over President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus.
Appearing on CNN on a Town Hall-style occasion less than two weeks before the first presidential debate, Biden called the president a ruthless leader and rebuked Attorney General William P. Barr for suggesting that home maintenance mandates were the greatest risk to people. freedoms from slavery.
“What deprives you of your freedom is not being to see your child, not to be to go to the football or baseball game, not to be to see your mom or dad in poor health in the hospital, not to be to do things, that’s what our freedom values us,” Biden said. And that’s the failure of this president to deal with this virus, and he knew it. “
On other occasions, Biden noted the revelations in a new e-book through journalist Bob Woodward that the president had knowingly minimized the importance of coronavirus, adding to his past warnings that Woodward had been minimized. Trump had politicized the deployment of a vaccine.
“I don’t accept as true the president with the vaccines,” Biden said in the city corridor near the home of his training years in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as the public listened from his cars. “I accept as true with dr. Fauci, ” he said, referring to Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “If Fauci says a vaccine is safe, I’ll take it. “
Biden also said he may not have a national mask order anywhere, breaking with a position he had taken a day earlier, but said he would have the strength to do so “on federal lands. “
Many states require the use of masks and have issued orders to remain at home to stop the spread of the virus. Earlier this week, Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned that the mask could be more effective in fighting the pandemic than a vaccine, just because Mr. Trump called it a mistake.
In a statement, Tim Murtaugh, spokesman for the Trump campaign, said Biden has been the subject of a closer look at his plans and background on problems such as the economy.
Biden’s appearance, the most nationally important since he accepted the Democratic nomination last month, came the same night as Biden. Trump announced nearly $13 billion to farmers at an election rally in Wisconsin’s battlefield state.
More than 2,200 new cases were announced in Wisconsin on Thursday, a one-day record, according to a New York Times database, and the state added more cases in the following week than at any other seven-day time of the pandemic. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin canceled plans to go home to the state with Trump and run for the rally, saying he would isolate himself for two weeks after coming into contact with someone infected.
Early Thursday, a former vice president’s security assistant Mike Pence backed Biden and accused MR. Trump radically misunderstood the reaction to the coronavirus crisis.
Former assistant Olivia Troye played a decisive role in the management of the White House Coronavirus Working Group until she left government last month. point, it’s an off-the-holiday country. “
Pence fired from the White House.
“I haven’t read his comments in detail,” he said Thursday, “but it sounds to me like some other disgruntled worker who made the decision to do politics in an election year. “
