Biden Convenes Shadow War Room to Devise Anti-Virus Policy

[left-of-center2012]

The Democratic presidential front-runner has built a shadow war room of public health and economic experts to keep him engaged on the issue, with academics, medical experts and Obama administration alumni advising him on a response, just as they would a sitting president.

He’s rolled out recommendations on the only policy Americans currently care about, plans that also give voters a window into a possible alternative come November.

He doesn’t have the nomination yet, Bernie Sanders is still in the race, the primaries are on hold, and the July Democratic convention will take place in August -- maybe. Unlike Sanders, a U.S. senator, Biden has no government job and is riding out the pandemic from his home in Delaware.

“He has a lot of crisis experience of saying, what are the tasks? Who’s accountable for them? How are they being delivered?” Sullivan said. “I think that the vice president wakes up every morning, sees the results of the current policies, Donald Trump’s shortcomings, and thinks, ‘I wish I could be there to be doing it better.’ Not out of a sense of boastfulness or pride but out of a sense of genuine concern that this country and our people are being badly served.”

1. Yes

And that is how he would function as President. With his vast experience, he knows how this is done. Many of us wish he was there handling this crisis right now.

2. Plus. He cares about all people, not just those who vote for him. He cares.
