Biden Attacks Trump for Lacking Plan to Jump-start US Economy

Ken Bredemeier

   Former Vice President Joe Biden, five months ahead of the national
   election in November, accused President Donald Trump on Thursday of
   failing to offer a comprehensive plan to jump-start the faltering U.S.
   economy in the face of the renewed threat of the coronavirus pandemic.

   "Trump may have forgotten about coronavirus, but we have 20 million
   unemployed," Biden told a round-table discussion with community leaders
   in Philadelphia. "The federal government has abdicated any effective
   White House role."

   The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said Republican Trump
   "basically has a one-point plan: opening businesses. He does nothing to
   keep workers safe.

   "Secondly, he's done little to generate consumer confidence," Biden
   said.
