Joe Biden fails to lead from his basement

Joe Biden is the likely Democratic presidential nominee, but he’s not acting like it.

The former vice president has been noticeably absent from the national stage over the past few weeks, while Congress has worked out a coherent relief package to aid the economy. Democratic governors, such as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, have partnered with the Trump administration to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

The few appearances Biden has made have not exactly inspired confidence in his ability to lead the nation. In what appeared to be an attempt to counter President Trump’s vow not to allow the “cure” to become worse than the “problem,” Biden told ABC News: “We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse no matter what.”
