Former Vice President Joe Biden told ABC the recently delayed Democratic Convention will have to happen, but conceded that it may need to be held virtually if the novel coronavirus continues to pose a public health threat by mid-August.

's slow response to the coronavirus will cost lives, the former vice president again did not go as far when asked if Trump's inaction has led to more deaths -- saying the president was not responsible for the coronavirus, but is responsible the handling to the crisis.

"Well, it hasn't happened. I'm happy to talk to him and I'd just tell him what we found is important to do … and that is to move swiftly and ... we have to move more rapidly," Biden said.The former vice president and his campaign are adjusting to the new reality of the 2020 campaign by launching a variety of online efforts, including virtual town halls, fundraisers and even a podcast hosted by Biden.

"I was apologizing to him by saying 'Bernie, I don't want in any way -- it's not in any way to demean your effort -- but if we don't start now we're not going to be able to get there', and he was very gracious, he said that he understood. It wasn't about asking him for recommendations of who he or I would pick," Biden said, noting that the intensive vetting process for a running mate needs to get underway now.

Trump is using Coronavirus to derail the elections. He needs to face the music ASAP.

Could Biden pass a health & mental examination? Dems said Trump was mentally unstable until the medical community said otherwise. The same question should be asked of Joe but Dems know he would fail miserably if he can’t remember what state he’s in or office he’s running for.

How many participants can use Zoom at one time?

I would love for a doctor who has seen Biden’s recent interviews to suggest what he might be undiagnosed with, if anything. His sentences are not making any sense, like verbal dyslexia.

He told people it was safe to vote in person in Wisconsin. He wants to protect himself but not his constituents.

If they can build a virtual Joe Biden that can be programmed to form complete and coherent sentences, they might have a chance. Oh... program it to keep it's hands to itself, that would help.

👻

Obama and Hillary Clinton to the United States of masks and ventilators production to China, they are the culprit.

Biden should stop telling people to go vote during a pandemic... If he remembers there is one.

he's like the big bad wolf with a speach impediment... 😘

Then he said, what was the question again

Why should he be concerned at all. Most likely the DNC will have already replaced him with another idiot!

I guess he feels like he has the nomination.... Don't get too Cocky, Joe.

Let’s test Biden’s ability of strength by having him walk a 5 K March to raise money for the AgencyOfAging

Good, then an actor can show up on behalf of Joe!

If this is going on by August and we are still in lockdown. Then the there will be a hell of a lot more to be concerned about than a convention, or even an election. The government will be worried about an INSURECTION!

Cancel it! We already have the best President.

Biden is not running to be president. He's running to prevent Bernie Sanders from being president.

'Conceded' is such loaded, subliminal word choice. Bored linguistics grad students & media watch 🐕s take note! MediaBias 🐺woof🐺!

Biden just gave Donny all the information he needed to continue to do nothing, and he excels in that.

👏👏👏

Bernie 2020. CoronaVirus has proven that Biden’s plans will only fail in times of need just like Trumps.

GStephanopoulos Biden can't even complete one sentence 😂😂😂

GStephanopoulos Joe can keep trying if that's what he wants but he's not coming back.

GStephanopoulos Joe is not competent. Please stop embarrassing him by asking him questions.

GStephanopoulos cyberspace gaming take care pnp npn collector emitter gates base. cyberattack k-now hair theory see black hole event horizon.

GStephanopoulos Republicans have already decided that whatever Traitor Trump does is not impeachable no matter how much it violates the law or the Constitution, no matter how rotten or despicable, etc, etc, etc.

GStephanopoulos He was creating a panic? Biden ?

GStephanopoulos Circumvent the chain-of-command. Needlessly worry families of sailors. Diminish the mission readiness of nuclear carrier in the eyes of our enemies. Of course Biden embraces all that malarkey that would result because he can pose with Trump as the foil. Bad for C-in-C.

GStephanopoulos Guess it is a Good thing Biden is NOT in charge of the Military.

GStephanopoulos Once again, Biden shows he doesnt understand something.

GStephanopoulos Lol

GStephanopoulos He is still a Navy Captain... he was not demoted. Just relieved of duty for handling a situation poorly . Happens all the time. JoeBiden . Stop undercutting the chain of command. DraftCuomo CuomoForPresident

GStephanopoulos What hell is wrong with this privileged narcissistic POTUS, Trump.THIS IS WAR!Something cadet heel spurs got deferment after deferment to avoid.Has no idea what OUR TROOPS have and are facing along with OUR PEOPLE. To hell with normal chain of command, HE’S A HERO, damnit.

GStephanopoulos The Capt was req’d to use a classified method in notifying his Superiors that his warship was not battle ready but was instead vulnerable! The fact that it was broadcast in the media is proof of not only of his incompetence but dereliction of duty! We live in post USS Cole times

GStephanopoulos Not one CoVid19 infected sailor on that ship is in critical condition! Not one sailor is on a ventilator!! I’m sympathetic but THIS CAPTAIN jumped the Chain of Command and publicly divulged readiness information about a Capitol Ship of our Armed a Service. HE PANICKED!!

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos That’s because Democrats don’t respect Military authority or chain of command. A Commander in Chief should always back the Military Leadership decisions that set Military Procedure & Policy. The captain breached procedure and he should suffer the consequences.

GStephanopoulos Trump fires anyone, who directly or indirectly makes him look like he’s not doing everything 120% perfectly. Look at the list of those who facilitated his impeachment-and those people just followed the law and their patriotism

GStephanopoulos We all must keep praying together 🙏

GStephanopoulos You Cannot equate military chain of command and duties with private industry J.O.B. so don’t even speculate

GStephanopoulos It is not necessary to use 'deal with him.'. God can watch over his position at white house why he serve the president I don't agree with him period. It sounds a bad scandals!!!!! He is so sick!

GStephanopoulos OMG 😱 jumping in head first on this one. Military has it’s rules for a reason. It’s called national security. You can’t have a caption leakage information that isn’t public to the MSM to get the results you want. Not your choice.

GStephanopoulos I really meant it!!!!!!

GStephanopoulos We all are not weak! God is so power to make him lose. He is not God!

GStephanopoulos He must be fired !

GStephanopoulos If I was the top captain. I must arrest him to go to prison to not fire the innocent workers at a white house!!!!!! He cannot win ! Because he thinks he is the only one!!heck no!

GStephanopoulos Yeah, I’m guessing Joe’s never served in the military. The Captain did the right thing. The Navy did the right thing. Everyone did their job. Unfortunate it had to end this way.

GStephanopoulos Comedian bob dibuono. Rt. Follow🤪

GStephanopoulos Yeah... but the problem appears to be the Secretary of Navy... Trump's Secretary of Navy. He's afraid to do what is right because he won't be the Secretary of the Navy if he does. Chickenshit, Gutless Wonder... He should be gone. If I were the next President, I'd can him day 1

GStephanopoulos Teleprompter working again

GStephanopoulos Rehire him back when you become President in Nov along with reverting back every single thing the orangebuffoon did.

GStephanopoulos He would still have his job if the press didn’t print the letter that was leaked to them.

GStephanopoulos Trump defended the person who handled the matter by the book. The rules don't change just because you're a nice guy. fakenews sleepyjoe

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos “I think it’s close to criminal the way they’re dealing with this guy,” Tell that to the corporate media and the DNC. Then apologize to Bernie personally.

GStephanopoulos And a massive amount of people want Biden in jail for rape, but we all can’t get what we want now can we?

GStephanopoulos bernie for pres

GStephanopoulos Joe Biden is a 🤡 and will be STOMPED BY TRUMP

That's the ticket, if you don't see how bad he is, you won't know how bad he is.

They're gonna have someone who sounds like him record a bunch of statements & hide a speaker in his mask so he sounds coherent.

the Dems only hope... lol!!

Voting JoeBiden. Stay home. Stay safe.

It might as well be for other debates since each state has the same viruses. The candidates should use a computer, iPad he help from family members who know how to do viral videos and do what singing artists are doing now and have it go viral on the East end West coast

Why he won’t win 4MOREYEARS

Joe Biden Now Advocating for 'Virtual' 2020 DNCJoe Biden, whose campaign previously encouraged Americans to go out and vote in droves in the middle of a pandemic, is now advocating for a “virtual” 2020 Democratic National Convention. Can there still be real violence? a fine idea BidenInsultBot ! I hope they do it in Second Life. I feel like the DNC is legitimately that out of touch that they would try. Then they would get like 15 people there and a bunch of MAGA hat avatars.
