Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden plans to begin live-streaming his own briefings on the coronavirus Monday, attempting to keep his Democratic presidential run relevant while the deadly virus sidelines his campaign.
He told donors in tele-fundraiser Sunday that it is time for Americans to come together in the face of a crisis, and he slammed President Trump and Republican lawmakers for botching economic rescue legislation.
This is a time for this nation to come together because, folks, were all in this together. This virus doesnt care whether youre a Democrat or Republican, Mr. Biden, who is hunkered down at his home in Delaware, told the 72 donors on the conference call.
He said the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 does not discriminate based on gender, race, ethnicity or anything else.
From the Great Depression to two world wars to 9/11, to the pandemic of 1918. This country has always overcome every crisis we faced in our history. Were gonna overcome this one, too, said Mr. Biden
Mr. Bidens home has been outfitted with high-speed internet for his shadow briefings that will be broadcast from his home as a counterpoint to Mr. Trumps daily press conferences on the federal response to the outbreak.
Theyve converted a recreation room, basically, into a television studio. And so beginning tomorrow, I guess tomorrow, Im making the first presentation at 11:30 a.m. thereabouts, Eastern Standard Time, said Mr. Biden, who was closing in on the nomination when the outbreak all but closed down the presidential race.
GOPUSA Editors Note: What About Andrew Cuomo? Hes already doing this, daily, lengthy, endless briefings.
The call Sunday was the Biden campaigns second tele-fundraiser since the coronavirus struck the U.S.
An in-person fundraiser was originally scheduled to take place in Atlanta. Muhtar Kent, the former chairman and CEO of the Coca-Cola Company, hosted the conference call.
Mr. Biden said a presidents job in times of crisis was telling the American people the truth.
We need to tell the American people the truth, the unvarnished truth: where things stand, where theyre heading, what has to be done to head it off, he said. The American people are going to do anything theyll do anything we ask them. Theyll meet any challenge, just as long as we tell them the truth. And thats the responsibility of a president. Thats what the American people are owed.
He also blamed the wrangling over the more than $1 trillion COVID-19 relief bill on Mr. Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican.
Theres an impasse now because apparently, Mitch McConnell and the president are changing the game plan, said Mr. Biden.
Shortly after Mr. Bidens call, Senate Democrats derailed the bill in a procedural vote.
Do his campaign “strategists” despise this doddering pervert criminal nitwit...or what??? Bring on the freak show. Hahahaha.
Big Bad Biden is one tough PHONY soldier, IMO.
He should take the China virus head-on.Tell it he’s going to take it behind the barn. Challenge it to a pushup contest.
Yeah... Big Bad Biden is leading the Democrats and that’s a fact.
How revealing to the American citizens. This is the person the Democrats has chosen to listen to. LOL!
Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth. Biden isnt content let our President do his job.
And the American people should care about his running color commentary, why exactly?
Black belt in lying is a blying.
“We all need to come together, Republican and Democrat.
So, let me explain to you why the Republicans suck and need to die slow, horrible deaths.”
You know its bad for the Democrats when neither The Bern or Slow Joe is neither seen or heard.
This coronavirus pandemic has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Its taken the Democrats off the campaign trail. Good.
They say death doesnt take a holiday. The country is taking a holiday from politics. Love it.
Rumpus LOL, I completely forgot about that one! It would have been SO perfect if Joe had used that word.
You are full of malarkey! Lets go down to the rumpus room and Ill whip your ass at a push-up contest!
Oh, wonder, joy and glory. Joe, pleeease do it ASAP. The contrast between your briefings and PDJTs will be just as hilarious as the contrast between your rallies and his once the two of you start having rallies again.
Just remember what happened when NBC tapped Arnold Schwarzenegger to do The Apprentice after PDJT went on to become President. Arnold flopped and hes a lot better showman than you were even before you became hopelessly senile. Also remember all the miserable tries by non-senile libs to put together radio talk shows to compete with Rush.
Im hopefully and anxiously awaiting your spectacular debut.
Biden needs to find more dog faced lying pony soldiers to keep him in the headlines!
When Biden does give a presser, wake me up. On second thought, Ill keep on snoozing.
I NEVER want to come together with the Democrat-Communist Party of Nutsy Pelousy, Sloppy Joe, Schumer the Golem, and that entire gaggle of those who have used the Constitution for toilet paper. They’re like pedophiles: they’ll never change. They hate us and they hate this nation and I hate them!
Joke is still on Standard Time, while the rest of us have moved to Daylight Savings Time....
Joe sees everything as a big fu-king deal. Especially when he's getting his drug-add;ed son a high pay position with a Russian oil oligarchy and gets several billion dollars of the Chinese money out of the country and into his other company to invest.
Joe shouldn't be campaigning, rather he should be in a federal pen with the Klintons.
Good catch! Means people missed his presentation. LOL
Joe Biden to tell the truth!? LOL!!!!
His middle initial is R?
Retard?
Reprobate?
Rat?
Ridiculous?
If democrats keep overplaying their hand more of us will grow to hate them... even the press is attempting to be fair - trying to NOT be the thug arm of the democrat party reflexively...
So says the nominee of a party of open borders that was obsessed with impeachment and opposed to Trump’s travel restrictions on China before the virus was a national issue.
