9/16 Daily Dose of Joe

Friends -- see below for today's Dose of Joe.

• Today, Joe Biden will receive a briefing from public health experts in Wilmington, Delaware on a COVID-19 vaccine. After, Vice President Biden will deliver remarks on developing and equitably distributing a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. You can watch HERE.

• And, Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff will travel to Bedford, Manchester, and Dover. They will begin the day in Bedford where they will host a listening session on the Affordable Care Act and meet with supporters to kick off the Biden for President New Hampshire yard sign distribution program in Manchester. They will then head to Dover where they will meet with Granite State veterans and military families.

• Yesterday, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris released their plan to ensure Puerto Rico has the resources they need and deserve, and outlined how they will work directly with the people of Puerto Rico to rebuild and restore hope. They will protect and build on Obamacare to deliver quality and affordable healthcare, strengthen the power system, invest in school infrastructure, provide families equal access to nutrition assistance, and rebuild Puerto Rico’s infrastructure. You can read the English version of the plan here and the Spanish version here.

• Yesterday, Kamala Harris met with emergency service personnel for an assessment of the wildfires in Fresno, California. In the afternoon, Senator Harris traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada to attend a community conversation focused on the impact of COVID-19 on working families in the Latino community.

• Yesterday, Scientific American announced their endorsement of Joe Biden for President, breaking with an 175-year precedent to deliver an urgent, science-backed message to voters.

JOE’S SOCIAL MEDIA TO AMPLIFY
TWITTER

@joebiden: Donald Trump not only suggested we sell or trade Puerto Rico — but he also left our fellow Americans without the resources they desperately needed after Hurricane Maria. It's unacceptable. As president, I'll support the island's full recovery and invest in its people and future.

@joebiden: I believe that every American deserves a fair shot to get ahead and a government that treats them equally. But that hasn't been the case for the people of Puerto Rico. Today, I'm releasing my new plan to change that:

@joebiden: For months, President Trump has failed to provide desperately needed fiscal relief to our state and local governments — and we’re seeing the consequences every day. Our students and educators deserve better. As president, I’ll make sure they always have the resources they need.
