Biden plans shadow coronavirus briefingsThe ex-veep said theyre necessary to address false and misleading statements from the president.

Biden gave a preview of whats to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.
President Trump stop saying false things, will ya? Biden said. People are worried they are really frightened, when these things don't come through. He just exacerbates their concern. Stop saying false things you think make you sound like a hero and start putting the full weight of the federal government behind finding fast, safe and effective treatments.
Biden made his comments from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has been holed up for more than a week in adherence with Centers for Disease Control guidelines that urge people to practice social distancing.

(42,862 posts)You're being too kind. It's not just a "meme"... it's a vicious "scorched-earth" lie that is attempting to kneecap Biden.
What good purpose does it serve? It only divides us. It only created distrust and resentment. It creates nothing but negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

(9,864 posts)Bernie has to quit, and immediately get vocal to his supporters to go with Biden.
I am sad to say that I lose more respect for Bernie each and every day.
He, Warren, and others have good thinking, there is no question.
But now is not the time for idealism that, in reality, would be currently un-obtainable....
The Dems continue down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, and are
oblivious to the herd of charging elephants........

(43,049 posts)Democrats label while I don't seem to see any alerts when the Bernistas attack Biden.
Isn't that a little backwards?

(94,322 posts)...to court their votes. Meanwhile I think a lot of the rest of us have entered the eye-rolling stage--and maybe that reflects in the ratio of alerts.
Yes, that's a little backwards.

(18 posts)He needs to be SEEN, every day, reassuring the public and going after Trump.
Trumps approval rating has never been higher and theyre robbing this country blind watching people get sick.
Joe needs to get after him.

Or are you talking about Biden going out in public, shaking hands and kissing babies? Or what?
Go back and read the OP all the way thru. Biden's busy. Very busy.

(18 posts)Hes got 1.7 million followers on Facebook, and 4.5 million on Twitter.
Everyone and their mother knows how to do a live video. I would think the campaign could figure it out.
Hes also the presumptive nominee... if he holds a press conference the media WILL show up.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Hekate
(94,322 posts)...shadow government and shadow response team in the works. Every time he addresses the camera he looks more presidential. His house is being retrofitted to engage in these activities, so that he can practice social distancing and still have conferences, give speeches, press conferences, videos -- all of the normal activities of a campaign minus shaking hands, hugging adults, and kissing babies.
This info has been available at DU, and since our sources are reputable news agencies, that means this info is Out There.
Why do I get the feeling you changed the goal posts?
