Spotlighting his experience in helping the nation in a crisis, Biden said he wouldn’t waste any time bringing the prevailing coronavirus pandemic under control.

“I know how to lead this nation through a crisis because I’ve done it before. I won’t waste any time getting this virus under control and building our country back better,” he wrote on the microblogging site.

In a campaign video shared through the former vice president’s Twitter handle, the Democractic Party alleged that Trump had months but he still doesn’t have a plan to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, while Biden on the other hand knows “rebuilding our economy starts with fighting the virus, increasing testing, getting more protective gear for health care workers and calling for mask mandates nationwide.”

 

The outreach video further claimed that when the economy was on the verge of collapse in 2009, Biden led the largest stimulus in a generation and saved millions of jobs.
