Ahead of President Donald Trump’s rally in the Harrisburg area Saturday night, Joe Biden is criticizing the president’s leadership and response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president, issued a statement Saturday morning denouncing Trump’s “refusal to take strong, swift action” to combat COVID-19. Biden said Trump has worsened a pandemic that has claimed 200,000 American lives, including more than 8,000 deaths in Pennsylvania.
“This crisis didn’t have to be this bad,” Biden said in the statement. “Were it not for President Trump’s failed leadership, thousands of Pennsylvania families would not have suffered such horrific loss and countless others would not be faced with economic hardship, including the nearly 20,000 people out of work in Dauphin County today.”
Biden also attacked the Trump administration’s efforts to overturn the Affordable Care Act, which ensures those with pre-existing conditions can get health care coverage. The law is one of the key achievements of President Barack Obama’s administration and Biden has made protecting the Affordable Care Act a central tenet in his campaign. Biden hammered Trump for working to undermine the law in the midst of a pandemic.
“To make matters worse, President Trump is actively trying to strip away health care for Pennsylvanians when they need it most and putting at risk protections for the 5 million Pennsylvanians with preexisting conditions, including Pennsylvanians experiencing long-term side effects from COVID-19,” Biden said.
Trump has pledged to continue the Affordable Care Act’s protections to ensure people with pre-existing conditions can obtain health care coverage without excessive charges. The president has also defended his response to the coronavirus pandemic and said he’s best poised to help the country recover from the economic fallout.
Trump is holding a rally at Harrisburg International Airport Saturday night. Before the HIA event, Trump is slated to announce his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. He’s expected to name Amy Coney Barrett, a federal judge, as his pick, according to multiple media reports.
Both Trump and Biden have made repeated visits to Pennsylvania, widely regarded as one of the battleground states in the presidential election.
Polls show Biden holding a lead over Trump in Pennsylvania but some surveys show the gap within the margin of error. Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by less than a percentage point, but he still became the first GOP presidential candidate to win the Keystone State in nearly 30 years. Political analysts have said the race for Pennsylvania is wide open.
Biden, a Scranton native, is counting on a win in the Keystone State to deny Trump a second term.
To that end, Biden has consistently focused on the coronavirus pandemic and health care as key elements in his campaign, as evidenced by his statement Saturday morning.
“Families in Harrisburg and across Pennsylvania deserve a president that will put their health and economic wellbeing above his own political gain,” Biden said in the statement. “As President, I will take action to combat COVID-19 and rebuild our economy so Harrisburg workers and families have access to good jobs with good benefits and the option to join a union. And I’ll make sure Pennsylvanians are cut into the deal of our economic recovery, not left to fend for themselves.”

Go back to your eff’n basement you pussy. It’s nappy time. Put on your diapers, STFU and sleep.
Trump has been able to reduce deaths from 200 million to 200 thousand just in a matter of days. Amazing! Go Trump!
Lies and more lies. Just brazen in your face lies. Aren’t people tired of them?
If Biden is from Scranton, they must have been listening to him for 47 years.. Haven’t they caught on?
Actually Pres Trump did a fantastic job while the left, including Biden mocked him and called him names for over reacting so shove it Joe!!! The Conservatives need to start calling out those numbers and asking how many died from the virus and how many are just lumped in with no proof it was the virus
I've thought long and hard about this. It is impossible for Trump to reduce the death toll by that much through prevention. It is obvious that he raised people from the dead. It truly a miracle.
Oh Joe! Stop blaming President Trump and the real spreaders of this virus: The CHICOMS!
Oh. Well that’s ok.
See, if Trump raised 198,000 from the dead, then it’s obvious they will all be democrat voters!
By the way, Biden has only appeared in front of 84 people since Labor Day. Maybe he should make a few more appearances?
More and more people are realizing that absolute shut-downs do very little to nothing in regards to this.
Just watch.
Florida is now open. The media (again) will predict massive doom and death. Again, nothing like that will happen.
Maybe he should. It's great for Trump every time Biden opens his pie hole. This pic was from the Harris-Biden campaign rally yesterday. Joe sent Jill because he was too tired:
Biden has never said what he would have done differently besides “I would have followed the Science”. His little cheerleaders in MSM never point this out.
Hey, Joe....there wouldn’t have been any deaths IF you and your vile, filthy ilk didn’t collude with the CCP on the release of the crap to start with. Then, you jackasses blocked the use of HCQ so that it would be even worse. You, Joe, and your filthy ilk should be facing the gallows for it.
Notice how they always try to equate Trump’s huge rallies with thousands attending to Biden’s backyard picnics, speeches in empty parking lots, or cornfields? They think everyone is really really stupid and hates Trump as much as they do. I’ve got news for them, they ain’t fooling anyone, everyone knows Biden is nowhere to be seen or heard, and it’s only democrats that hate Trump.
What’s the dem plan for the economy? Joe says: “CORONA!!!”
What’s the dem plan for keeping Iran from getting a nuke? Joe says: “CORONA”
What’s the best way to some up the Dems entire plan for the country? Joe says: “COVID!!! CORONA!!! COVID COVID COVID COVID!!!!”
Make book on it, If Joe does show for the debate every answer to every question will be “COVID!!!”
The dems are upset that Trump handle the virus amazingly well. A template as to how it should be done. So good that the subject falls on deaf ears.
“Oh Joe! Stop blaming President Trump and the real spreaders of this virus: The CHICOMS!”
Not a chance as long as his son is the CEO and major stock holder (10%) of Bohai Harvest RAT (Shanghai), and Hunter is one of nine directors of the firm, known as BHR Partners, which is controlled and funded primarily by large Chinese government-owned shareholders.
Hunter Biden has had, and still has, other ties in China, including with top executives of a now-collapsed Shanghai oil company, CEFC China Energy Co., as they were trying to break into the U.S. energy market, according to articles in the New Yorker and the New York Times.
So, as long as his son is doing business in China, there will be no badmouthing.

Well,I have to listen to a totally asinine Biden ad every hour on my favorite radio station with a black voice saying Trump kills people and hates blacks. It would be nice if the PAGOP bothered to get some ads out and fight the mail in vote scam not to the worthless PA Supreme Court but US Supreme Court.
In other words, “do not bite the hand that feeds you.”
“Trump has been able to reduce deaths from 200 million to 200 thousand just in a matter of days. Amazing! Go Trump!”
The only thing I question in your comment is “200 thousand” deaths.
I realize that this the “official” number, but we CAN’T quote their BOGUS number without questioning it RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THEN!
The left is just using this number to bludgeon Trump with. They just had to wait (and MANIPULATE) that number until their hammer got big enough to be lethal.
Just as the left manipulates the language to their advantage (and GETS US TO USE IT), they also manipulate NUMBERS/STATS.
REFUSE to use or accept their language or their NUMBERS!
