Biden has all but disappeared during Wuhan coronavirus crisis, as #WhereIsJoe? trends

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 20, 2020 71 Comments

Donald Trump's daily press conferences on Wuhan coronavirus updates is must watch TV. Trump and various health and senior officials spend close to two hours providing detailed information, and then subject themselves to an hour or more of questions from reporters. It's spellbinding at times, with Trump clearly in command. It's what he loves, mixing it up with reporters. Sometimes that sparring makes news itself, but even without the drama from reporters, Trump shows himself in command.

Yesterday I blogged that Wuhan coronavirus has hampered former Vice President Joe Biden's fundraising and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). It's hard for both to compete against President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee since both are swimming are cash.

A reader sent me the image above, of Park Avenue in Manhattan just before 5 p.m. today. The height of 'rush hour.' This is a major avenue in the heart of our largest city, that in normal times would be jam-packed with cars, and taxis, and delivery trucks, and pedestrians.

If you only listened to the media and pundits with TDS you would think the Wuhan coronavirus ended President Donald Trump. Weird how they now ignore the praises from Democratic politicians. The latest praise came from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Yes. Ilhan Omar.
