Joe Biden criticized President Trump in a speech while accepting the Democratic party nomination on Aug. 20, the final night of the Democratic National Convention. “He’ll wake up every morning believing the job is all about him, not about you,” Biden said of Trump. “Is that the America you want -- for you, your family, your children?” Biden pledged to take control of the coronavirus in the U.S. by implementing a national strategy to develop and deploy rapid COVID-19 testing, manufacturing medical supplies, and prioritizing the opinions of public health experts. He also said he would implement a mask mandate as president. “Our current president has failed in his most basic duty to the nation,” Biden said, "and that is unforgivable," adding he would protect Americans better than Trump has.
