Trump urges Biden to hit campaign trail: ‘Get out there today, Joe!’

 

….New Hampshire – and the big crowds – was great last night. Thank you! Heading now for Louisiana & Texas to check out the damage done by Hurricane Laura. @FEMA & @FEMA_Pete are, together with Law Enforcement and First Responders, doing a great job!

“Here’s the deal. We plan on, without jeopardizing or violating state rules about how many people can in fact assemble,” he said Thursday. “So what we’re working on is how I get out. I’m going to be traveling throughout the country where I can do it consistent with the state rules about how many people can be assembled.”

 

In response to Trump’s jab, Michael Gwin, deputy rapid response director for the Biden campaign, said “[t]he only ‘very slow reaction time’ Donald Trump should be concerned about is his own,” referring to the administration’s  response to the pandemic. 

“To his credit though, Trump is right that America needs a ‘much faster, smarter, and tougher response’ on this pandemic than what we’ve seen from him and his administration’s historic bungling, which has left 180,000 Americans dead, our economy reeling, and our schools shuttered,” Gwin told The Hill in a statment.

“The American people are crying out for the sort of leadership Trump only knows how to tweet about, so maybe he should put down his phone and try to start doing his job finally.”
