Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has struggled to articulate what he would have done differently than President Trump in regards to the coronavirus pandemic. But the little that he has shared about his supposed COVID-19 strategy shows that the United States would have been much worse off under a President Biden.

... Biden said he would implement a “national standard” if elected in November. He went on to criticize Trump for taking a hands-off, federalist approach that allowed “the governors to do their own thing.” But it was this very approach that helped the U.S. fend off a crisis that could have been much worse, as it was in much of Europe.

To be sure, the coronavirus pandemic has had disastrous consequences. But Montana’s outbreak was not as bad as New York’s ...

The core problem Biden has in trying to "articulate what he would have done differently than President Trump" is that Biden is pretty much clueless about what Trump has been doing (either that or Biden's nose should almost transcontinental in length!).
