Biden Points out Trump's 'Fire Fauci' Remark to Draw Contrast on COVID Strategy during Final Ohio Rally
Joe Biden utilized President Trump’s tip that he would fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, one the top authorities leading the U.S. pandemic reaction, to contrast the president’s handling of the pandemic with his own method.
Trump teased the possibility of firing Dr. Fauci at a Sunday rally in Florida, where some members of the crowd shouted “Fire Fauci!” The rally happened after Dr. Fauci told the Washington Post that the U.S. “ might not perhaps be positioned more poorly” to handle a rise in coronavirus cases heading into the winter.
The president has clashed consistently with Dr. Fauci over coronavirus mitigation steps, consisting of company closures and mask-wearing. It is unclear whether Trump has the legal authority to fire Dr. Fauci from his present position as head of the National Institute of Allergic Reaction and Transmittable Diseases.
” Last night Trump stated he was going to fire Dr. Fauci. I have actually got a better idea. Elect me and I’m going to work with Dr. Fauci and we’re going to fire Donald Trump,” Biden said at a Monday rally in Cleveland. “I’m never going to wave the white flag of surrender. We’re going to beat this virus. We’re going to get it under control, I guarantee you.”
The Democratic candidate has stated he would support a nationwide mask required, an action backed by previous Food and Drug Administration head Scott Gottlieb. President Trump selected Gottlieb to serve as FDA head from 2017 to2019
