How Joe Biden Will Counteract Trump's Virus Media Circus

"We need action, not words. We need science, not more fiction. Mr. President, start to tell the truth,” Joe Biden told reporters in a tele-conference on Friday.

After days of relative quiet, former Vice President Joe Biden announced that he plans to hold daily press briefings, starting as early as Monday from a remote location, as part of a broader digital and communications push as he closes in on the Democratic nomination.

“We’ve hired a professional team to do that now,” Biden said in a teleconference with the press on Friday afternoon, in reference to a question about establishing a foil for Trump’s daily press briefings. “We’re in the process of setting up the mechanisms by which to do that.”

The announcement answers growing questions about whether Biden’s campaign would set up some type of shadow effort to counter President Donald Trump in the age of COVID-19. Those questions, and more specifically, whether they had a plan at all to match Trump’s increasingly erratic press conferences where he routinely contradicts experts, misstates facts, and paints a far rosier picture of a crisis that has upended American life, had gone largely unanswered until Friday.

“The bottom line is everything from providing access to where I physically live and being able to broadcast from there, as well as our headquarters, is underway," Biden said.

The stakes are now higher than ever for the former VP seeking to make both a values-based and tactical contrast to Trump. But as the country grapples with containing the spread of coronavirus, Biden is confronting challenges of a leading campaign trying to soldier on in the face of a national crisis.

Trying to counteract the narrative that Biden has "disappeared"--while publicly quiet until last Friday for a bit, Joe was working behind the scenes to muster up a response to the virus crisis to counter the Trump circus. Now he his ready to kick *** [expletive deleted].

for Biden to remain in the forefront of national consciousness, yet without distracting from Trump's unending mistakes and disasters. Even in this situation, facing great personal danger, Trump simply can't stick rationality and can be counted on to be the Republicans' worst enemy.

Noel, first off, thanks for staying in contact with our campaign during this time.

We hope we can all stay connected and help empower one another to find ways to stay politically engaged and focused on defeating Donald Trump in November.

Which is why we wanted to once again reach out and ask for some of your opinions on what kind of communications you want to receive and how you would like to stay involved from home.

We’re putting together our plans for digital outreach that will allow us to build a strong organization and infrastructure that can beat Donald Trump, while allowing our staff and supporters to be remote and safe.

for each one is interesting. Biden's background music is a little chord progression, simple, and Dotard's is stressful-sounding brass music.

The man should be addressed as 'Donald' at best, and that should be stuck to even if there is press criticism. No respect whatever for him ought to be shown, and the 'respect the office' wheeze met with curt dismissal that the office does not ennoble its occupant when the occupant disgraces the office.

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
