Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared to lose his train of thought while speaking on CNN’s “Coronavirus: Facts and Fears” town hall on Thursday, which was hosted by Anderson Cooper and CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.
Biden was in the middle criticizing the Trump Administration over lack of coronavirus testing when he began stumbling over his words. Video of the moment was immediately posted to social media and has since gone viral.

“It’s about testing, tracing and treatment,” Biden said in relation to a conversation he had with doctors earlier in the day.
“And so we’re way behind on the testing piece,” he asserted. “And I don’t quite — I don’t quite understand why we’re taking so long to do the kinds of things that have to be done.”
Biden then seemed to forget the point that he was trying to make as he looked down and said, “Um, you know, there’s a uh, during World War… Two, uh, you know, where Roosevelt came up with a thing that uh, you know, was totally different than a, than the, the, it’s called, he’s called it a, you know, the World War Two, he had the World, the War Production Board…I don’t know why we don’t set up a Pandemic Production Board.” Video Below

In response to the video, Donald Trump Jr. pointed out the look of “total confusion and utter disbelief” on the faces of Anderson Cooper and Sanjay Gupta as Biden struggled to get out his words.
Trump Jr. tweeted, “When the look on two CNN ‘journalists’ faces is total confusion and utter disbelief that this is the Democratic nominee you know you have a problem.”
“Even the fakest name in news can’t fake taking this drivel seriously,” he added
