Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced on Thursday a plan to reopen the economy “to make sure the reopening is safe and strong and sets the foundation for an economy that works for everyone.”
He also held a round table discussion on reopening the economy with community members in Philadelphia, though President Trump and his administration already laid out federal guidelines for states to safely reopen in phases amid the coronavirus pandemic.
On his website, Biden claimed: “Today, more than 20 million Americans are unemployed – and a majority of those unemployed are a result of the economic crisis worsened by President Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.”
Joe Biden just criticized the Trump Administration's Guidelines to Open Up America.
