Trump Must Ensure ‘He Is Not a Spreader,’ Biden Says

On the tarmac en route to a campaign event, Joseph R. Biden Jr. avoided a question about court packing, and criticized the president’s lack of virus precautions.

“Fact is that the only packing going on is this court is being packed now by the Republicans, after the vote has already begun. I’m going to stay focused on it, so we don’t take our eyes off the ball here. I, before I came out again today to go somewhere, I had another test this morning. And I’m clear. I think it’s important the president makes sure of two things: One, that he is clear, he is not a spreader like Dr. Fauci said, the superspreader event he had for the Supreme Court announcement. And secondly, I think it’s important that he make it clear to all the people that they should be socially distanced, they should be on the lawn. That’s fine. But in fact, they should be socially distanced and wearing masks. That’s the only responsible thing to do. And I don’t know what’s going on at the moment now, but I hope he does that.”
