Wednesday ended up being another striking example of how the coronavirus has preempted a national election.
This couldn’t have been how Joe Biden imagined his first public appearance as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president: speaking from his Delaware basement to a tiny audience scattered across the country as networks carried President Donald Trump on live TV.
It was another striking example of how the coronavirus has preempted a national election. Biden’s moment wasn’t much of one. “Bernie’s always been a passionate voice for progress,” Biden said, echoing sentiments he had shared hours earlier in an emailed statement and on Twitter. “He put his heart and soul not only into running for president but also the causes and issues he has been dedicated to his whole life. He’s inspired and energized millions of supporters, especially young voters to join him in championing a progressive vision for our country. He didn’t just run a political campaign, he created a movement.
