These Joe Biden Flip Flops on COVID-19 Prove He's Incapable of Leading During the Pandemic

With less than two months before the presidential election, it’s undeniable that the coronavirus will be a key factor in many Americans’ votes. Joe Biden claims that he would show leadership as president in handling the pandemic, and claims that Trump has not.

But Biden’s claim doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. As Politico reported earlier this year, Biden’s efforts during the H1N1 pandemic were nothing to brag about. During the coronavirus pandemic, Biden’s attempts at Monday morning quarterbacking have been laughable. He has called for taking actions already taken by President Trump and then claimed them as his own suggestion Trump should heed.

But Joe Biden has also proven that he’d be a terrible leader to get us through the pandemic by the various flip-flops he’s made specifically related to COVID-19.

Biden clearly figured out that Trump was absolutely correct because Biden backtracked weeks later. “But here’s the deal, the federal government — there’s a constitutional issue whether federal government could issue such a mandate. I don’t think constitutionally they could, so I wouldn’t issue a mandate.”

How exactly did Biden go from claiming his mandate would save 40,000 lives to saying he wouldn’t issue a nationwide mandate? What does that say about his...
