Pushing back at Trump, Biden stresses 'we all want to reopen'

After President Trump claimed in an interview with Fox Business Network that his political critics are pushing a slower reopening of the economy to hurt him politically in November’s election, former Vice President Joe Biden countered that "we all want to reopen" — but "safely and effectively."

Asked if he thinks his political opponents want him to keep the economy closed due to the coronavirus pandemic as the presidential election nears, Trump told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo: “Yeah, I do. I do. I think it's a political thing.”

"The people that want to see the right thing happen, they agree with me. We have to get our country open," the president stressed.

But Biden — the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee — said in a statement Thursday morning that “the issue isn’t whether or not to reopen. We all want to reopen. It’s how to reopen safely and effectively. And the Trump administration simply hasn’t done the work to make that happen.”
