This represents a very professional, thoughtful, first set of steps by Joe Biden.
the way that Donald Trump is responding to the pandemic is, I think is, they are giving him a lot of rope on the Democratic side and he is increasingly hanging himself.
I think a lot of Americans are relieved to have a politician who's not in your face and not yelling at you and not lying to you.
Never before has the opposition undermined the legitimacy of a new President before he has even taken office to anything like this degree or in this fashion.
