Biden Claims Trump Has 'Quit on This Country'

Steve Herman

   NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE - The presumptive Democratic Party presidential
   nominee, Joe Biden, told Americans Tuesday that President Donald Trump
   "has quit on you and he's quit on this country."

   In livestreamed remarks, Biden blamed Trump for failing to lead during
   the coronavirus pandemic, adding that as COVID-19 infections spread
   each day, "too many American workers are still out of work and losing
   hope."

   The former vice president said that Trump's own staff has acknowledged
   he fails the most important test of being an American president: "The
   duty to care for you, for all of us."'¯

   Biden added: "A president is supposed to care, to lead, to take
   responsibility, to never give up."

   During Tuesday's daily coronavirus briefing, however, Trump sought to
   portray his administration as effectively leading the response, saying
   potential vaccines are "coming a lot sooner than anybody thought
   possible" and discussed a new aid package for Americans affected by the
   virus. The White House began the daily briefings after stopping them in
   late April.
