Former Vice President Joe Biden slammed President Trump's response to the coronavirus outbreak in a call with reporters on Friday, saying the president was "behind the curve" in combatting the crisis.
“He’s all over the map. In a crisis we need leadership that’s straightforward, clear and reliable,†the former vice president said.
"The federal government needs to step up and lead," Biden continued. "We need action, not words. We need science, not more fiction. Mr. President, start to tell the truth."
Biden went on to lay out a multi-step plan for the federal government to combat the virus which included testing for all that need it, putting the Defense Production Act into action, using the Department of Defense to aid with hospital beds, providing $100 billion for mayors and governors, mobilizing the medical reserve corps and having daily reports on the news on vaccines and treatments.
