Biden Strains to be Heard

The greatest failure of President Trump's leadership during the CoVid-19 pandemic is his refusal to utilize the National Defense Production Act to direct companies to manufacture ventilators and deliver them to areas of greatest need. His knee jerk excuse, that he doesn't want to "nationalize" private industry, defies common sense and ignores an overwhelming need.
While Gov. Andrew Cuomo has identified this failing and urged the president to act, his state is too dependent upon federal assistance to allow him to condemn the president's inaction in the strongest terms.
The presumed Democratic nominee for president, Joseph Biden, has no such restraint and should have no compunction in assailing, on a daily basis, Mr. Trump's irrational rejection of desperately needed federal intervention. Mr. Biden's quest to stay relevant and offer useful input at this critical stage of our national ordeal, can best be met by a full-throated and persistent call for the federal government to act.
