CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN: “What I would do, I would pass the Heroes Act. It has all the money and capacity to take care of each of those things, now. Now, not tomorrow. Now. And the idea the President is still playing golf and not doing anything about it, is beyond my comprehension. You’d at least think […]

BIDEN TRANSITION/CORONAVIRUS/TRUMP ADMIN: “I am the president-elect, but I will not be president until next year. The [coronavirus] crisis does not respect dates on the calendar, it is accelerating right now. Urgent action is needed today, now, by the current [Trump] administration – starting with an acknowledgment of how serious the current situation is. Resources […]

CORONAVIRUS/VACCINES: “And we shouldn’t be politicizing the race for a [coronavirus] vaccine either, we should be planning it safe and equitable and free distribution. Providing the funding for PPE, the mask and everything we need to protect ourselves. Setting a national standard for schools and businesses to reopen. Bringing together Republicans and Democrats to deliver […]

CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN: “I have a plan to deal with this pandemic. Responsibly testing, tracing, masking, not politicizing a race for a vaccine, planning for its safe and equitable distribution. Providing funding for PPE and other resources for schools to reopen safely. Easing the caregiving crisis so many families are experiencing, squeezed between raising your kids […]

TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “He [Donald Trump] turned his back on teachers and school children — standing in the way of support to get the PPE and cleaning supplies and ventilation needed to safely reopen schools. He turned his back on every single worker whose job hasn’t come back yet–and who are left to wonder when […]

JOE BIDEN: “As President I’d use the full power of the Defense Production Act to get PPE out to every single transit worker, hospital, job site, and school in this country, and I’d appoint a supply commander to make sure it’s distributed fast and fairly. It’s within our power to do this.” -Joe Biden via […]

CONGRESS/JOE BIDEN/SUPREME COURT: “I find it fascinating. They had time at the very end of this election to hold a hearing on a Supreme Court justice, but the Senate does not have time to deal with making sure schools and businesses have the PPE they need, the protective gear, does not have the sanitary conditions […]

CORONAVIRUS: “He [Donald Trump] hasn’t pulled Congress together to provide real relief for working people, moms, and dads, and business owners. The fact is Congress has passed a significant [coronavirus] recovery bill, but he’s too busy being in a bunker, or in his golf course to call them into the White House to work out […]

TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “He [Donald Trump] thinks we’ll forget about how badly he mismanaged this pandemic that cost us more — so far — than 205,000 lives and counting, almost 30 million people on unemployment insurance. He thinks we’ll forget the reason our businesses and our schools are closed is because he took no responsibility. […]

CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “He [Trump] can do a lot of damage between now and January 20 when I’d be sworn in. But number one, I would make sure that we are in a position that we provide for real [coronavirus] testing so you can test and get results back in two hours… I’d make […]

CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN: “I cannot mandate people wearing masks, but we’ve just been told we should expect another 215,000 dead [from coronavirus] by January. But if we wore a mask, we’d save 100,000 of those lives. Doing nothing but that. We have to make sure we lay out to the American people the truth. Tell them […]

CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/VACCINES: “A [coronavirus] vaccine would offer a way back to normalcy… but it’s not going to happen overnight… Americans have had to endure President Trump’s incompetence and dishonesty when it comes to testing and personal protective equipment. We can’t afford to repeat those fiascos when it comes to a vaccine… I trust […]

CORONAVIRUS/INTELLIGENCE/JOE BIDEN: “I think Trump has just stunned everyone around him at just how corrupt his thinking is. I mean, think about this. You remember he said under oath — not under oath. I shouldn’t say that — said to the American public that he didn’t get that briefing on how dangerous coronavirus was, he […]

COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/VACCINES: “The decision to clear a vaccine means little if Americans cannot get a vaccination on a timely basis. The distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine will be a major endeavor, requiring seamless coordination among many officials — a logistical and implementation challenge of the highest order. Given the Trump Administration’s track record on testing […]

COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “In the last seven months, Trump has abdicated his duty and failed to lead on every significant aspect of the COVID-19 response — making promises he’s never kept, giving preferences to political allies, and threatening to punish political enemies. We cannot allow a repeat of Trump’s testing and personal protective equipment […]

CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN/PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS/SENIORS: “To fix the economy, we have to get control over the virus… We need to increase federal support for testing, doubling the number of drive-thru testing sites. We absolutely need a clear message from the very top of our federal government that everyone needs to wear a mask in public. Every single […]

BUSINESS/JOE BIDEN: “I’ve laid out in detail what I would do, and all the way back in January, when this first came out. Then I did again in March, talked about how I would invoke the Defense Act to require significant stockpiling of PPE. I would also have made sure that we wouldn’t have fired the […]

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “We need an effective, coordinated nationwide [coronavirus] testing and tracing program. We need more PPE for health care workers.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Trump claimed to the American people that he was a wartime leader, but instead of taking responsibility, Trump has waved a white flag, revealing that he ordered the slowing of testing and having his administration tell Americans that they simply need to ‘live with it…’ Mr. President, before you tee […]

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “We are five months into this crisis, and our health care workers still don’t have the masks and protective equipment they need.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The Trump Admin failed to provide enough testing, PPE, and safety enforcement.
