WASHINGTON - Confined to his home to respect anti-virus measures and facing an accusation of sexual assault, Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden is finding it hard to get his message across in a country laser-focused on the health crisis.

Indeed, in her endorsement, Pelosi hailed Biden as a man of"empathy, grace and courage" and"a leader with the humility to seek expertise in science and the confidence to act on it" - a pointed bid to draw a contrast with Trump. He also won the backing of his former rivals, including leading progressives senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

But Trump is everywhere in the media, in large part thanks to his daily virus briefings over the past month. Even other Democrats like Pelosi and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo are getting more air time.Of course, the incumbent's briefings are not always registered in the win column, as last week's disastrous statements about injecting disinfectant have shown.

Goes to show how empty and valueless those endorsements are. Biden is a terrible choice. The DNC cared more for bringing down Bernie then defeating Trump. Shameful!
