Anyone can’t get a test around the country. Granted, more tests are coming forward, but look, this needless complacency that The President has engaged in from the very beginning, the President knew about this crisis all the way back in January and February. The President’s been incompetent the way in which The President responded to it.

Any dollar that goes to someone that does not merit it under the law, any dollar taken corruptly, we will find it, we will come get it and we will punish the wrongdoers, that should start tomorrow. But if it doesn’t, it will start on January 20, 2021.

Covid is the match that lit the fire. But Donald Trump has spent the last three years stoking and kindling and undermining the core pillars of our economic strength.
– Joe Biden
Yes, many small businesses closed because of Covid, but the reason why many will not open is because, for the last three years Donald Trump has put the very well off and corporate America first, and has put forward plans with’ no strings, no oversight, no accountability,’.
– Joe Biden
There isn’t any question that they’re going to use this crisis to try to further divide and attack our community, even more than they have, the White House shouldn’t be a source of oppression and fear. The White House should be a source of moral courage.

[ O ] ne of the ways to deal with age is to build a bench — to build a bench of younger, really qualified people who haven’t had the exposure that others have had but are fully capable of being the leaders of the next four, eight, 12,16 years to run the country.

Donald Trump’s Acting Navy Secretary shot the messenger – a commanding officer who was faithful to both his national security mission and his duty to care for his sailors, and who rightly focused attention on a broader concern about how to maintain military readiness during this pandemic, and the Navy sent a chilling message to the rest of the fleet about speaking truth to power. The poor judgment here belongs to the Trump Administration, not a courageous officer trying to protect his sailors.

Now he’s suggesting he wants to get the country back opened by Easter, it would be a catastrophic thing to do for our people and for our economy if we sent people back to work just as we were beginning to see the impact of social distancing take hold only to unleash a second spike in infections.
