“There is no place for hate in America,” @JoeBiden says in joint gaggle with @KamalaHarris. “The words of a president matter.”

“The American people are sick and tired of it,” Biden says of Trump calling Harris a monster. “It’s obvious he has a great difficulty dealing with strong women.”
“You’ll know my position on court-packing the day after election,” Biden says, calling it a distraction from the key issue of ACB nomination being rushed
The most bizarre part of this ongoing saga is the explicit articulation of “I won’t say because if I do it’s a story.”

This in addition to all the steps they take to keep a COVID-free Biden COVID-free. But even a distant drive-by, let alone what a COVID-affected POTUS just did, has most often been opted against 3/
