Biden Calls on Trump To ‘Step Down’ Due To Pandemic Response

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden called from President Donald Trump to step down from his position due to his response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden appeared for a presidential town hall held in Moosic, Pa., Thursday evening where he was asked how he would be able to change the narrative being communicated about the severity of the coronavirus.

For months, Trump has downplayed the pandemic and even admitted to doing so. However, many of his supporters continue to dismiss the dangers associated with coronavirus transmission.

Biden expressed concern about the president’s stance and how it has impacted the United States’ handling of the coronavirus.

“This is all about one thing, the stock market. He doesn’t want to see anything happen,” Biden said. “It’s all about his reelection. It should be about the American people, and they’re in trouble.”

Biden went on to reiterate Dr. Robert Redfield’s stance on the importance of masks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director suggested that masks actually could offer more protection against the coronavirus than a vaccine would, as previously reported on IJR.

He also noted that honesty and sternness are the best policies when dealing with the American public.
