I felt -- in the military, we called this dereliction of duty to walk off the job.

For Donald Trump to go for a 24-plus hours without a word being said is an outrage in and of itself. This is a man who is seeking the nomination of a major political party, very likely to get it. And now look at the leadership he is…
President of United States has not had a security briefing, or security briefing since October 2nd. I've never heard of any president, under any circumstances, come anywhere close to that, and been so derelict of the duty.
I don't think Trump is out of the woods, even though his poll numbers are not only staying up, they have actually been strengthened some.
This represents a very professional, thoughtful, first set of steps by Joe Biden.
