1:03Now PlayingDemocratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says President Donald Trump's administration has "just given up" on fighting the coronavirus.
Speaking in Wilmington, Biden said, Trump "makes a lot of big pronouncements, but they don't hold up. He gets his photo op and he gets out. He leaves everyone else to suffer the consequence of his failure to make a responsible plan."
The former vice president also called out his rival after reports that thousands of people in Omaha who attended Trump’s campaign rally Tuesday night had to wait around in frigid weather for hours after it ended before they could get back to their cars. Police later said about six or seven of them were taken to hospitals from the airport grounds “due to a variety of medical conditions.”
"It's an image that captured President Trump's whole approach to this crisis," Biden said.
Six days out from Election Day, as virus cases surge nationwide, Biden was taking a pause from the campaign trail to get a coronavirus briefing from public health experts.
More than 226,000 people have died from the virus in the U.S. More than 71,000 people a day are testing positive on average, up from 51,000 two weeks ago. Cases are on the rise in all but two states, Hawaii and Delaware.
Biden has made the coronavirus the central focus of his campaign against President Donald Trump, who has insisted “we’re rounding the turn, we’re doing great.”
He has sought to draw a contrast with the Republican president on how he’d handle the pandemic.
"Even if I win, it's going to take a lot of hard work to end this pandemic," Biden said. "I'm not running on the false promises of being able to end this pandemic by flipping a switch. But I do promise this: We will start on day one doing the right things."
