As COVID-19 roils the 2020 race, Biden seeks to offer a possible presidency preview

The one thing Biden can offer with a great deal of credibility is that he has (1) helped respond to two epidemics, the swine flu, which originated in North America in 2009, Ebola in Africa in 2014; (2) he helped steer the adoption of the ACA and can fix it after repeated efforts by Republicans and BS to tear it down; and (3) with President Obama he was able to steer the U.S. out of severe recession caused by the ineptitude of a Republican President.

Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared well on his way to the Democratic presidential nomination in the weeks before the COVID-19 virus essentially ground the party’s nominating contest to a screeching halt for the next few weeks amid postponed primaries.

However, the pandemic has also presented an opportunity for the former vice president to demonstrate the type of leadership he’s promised he would provide to voters for nearly a year with actions that preview a possible President Biden.

“I find myself, literally on the phone with my key advisors, medical advisors and economic advisors literally four or five hours a day, going through detailed memoranda on what we should be doing,” Biden said on a call for press Friday afternoon.

“My whole focus has basically been, how we deal with this crisis. And quite frankly, thus far has been less about how we campaign or make stark differences between the president and I. I think some are just self-evident, but the bottom line is that...my whole rationality here is to make sure that we focus on the urgent need of the American people,” Biden continued.

This exactly right.. Thank you, Joe Biden..

The former vice president accused the Trump administration of ignoring early warning signs about the pandemic and of downplaying the disease at critical points when the virus was primarily concentrated in China....

You and Governor Cuomo can help remind us what REAL leadership looks like and sounds like. At exactly the moment when we're desperate for it. Just imagine it - leadership we can believe in.
