Joe Biden, accepting the presidential nomination in his speech at the Democratic National Convention, drew on a combination of economic populist and anti-racist message Thursday as he promised to lift up a nation suffering from the coronavirus virus.
Biden made clear President Trump has been failing in leading the nation amid ongoing casualties and economic hardship, blaming him for enabling the crisis. “The tragedy of where we are today is it didn’t have to be this bad,” Biden said. “Just look around.
It’s not this bad in Canada. Or Europe. Or Japan. Or almost anywhere else in the world. The president keeps telling us the virus is going to disappear.
