Quote for the Day:

In the final week of campaigning, Biden stuck to his familiar if unimaginative script about the pandemic’s dangers, Trump’s failures, and the promise to heal a broken nation. The likable yet uninspiring Biden was riding high from the fiery boost he had received from Obama, who had upped the ante by eviscerating Trump at an October 27 rally in Orlando.

“What’s his closing argument? That people are too focused on COVID,” Obama had said. “He said this at one of his rallies: ‘COVID, COVID, COVID.’ He’s complaining. He’s jealous of COVID’s media coverage.”
