Biden Criticizes Trump’s Leadership While Campaigning in Florida
Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee, wished President Trump a speedy recovery on Monday while campaigning in Miami, but criticized the president’s leadership amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Let me also say at the top: My prayers continue to be with the president and the first lady, for their health and safety as they, like so many American families, are dealing with Covid-19. I was glad to see the president speaking and recording videos over the weekend. Now that he’s busy tweeting campaign messages, I would ask him to do this: Listen to the scientists. Support masks. Support a mask mandate nationwide. Require a mask in every federal building and facility. Since the president entered the hospital on Friday, more than 100,000 — since Friday — more than 100,000 more people have been diagnosed with Covid. And this week, at least 5,000 more will die. Cases and deaths are climbing in many states. I hope the president’s recovery is swift and successful, but our nation’s Covid crisis is far, far from over. The bottom line is that President Trump cannot advance democracy and human rights for the American people when he has embraced so many autocrats around the world, starting with Vladimir Putin. Folks, we can do this. We can reach for more as a nation. We can rebuild. We can rebuild the backbone of this country — and finally bring everybody along.
