Coronavirus pandemic is election chance for Biden

Although much of Joe Biden’s criticisms of President Trump revolve around the government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, his campaign senses opportunities to tout its broader healthcare platform.

Still, it’s a tricky political play for the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee. Biden, 77, wants to play up the healthcare policy chops he built over the course of 36 years as a Delaware senator and eight in the White House. But he can’t come across as taking political advantage of the coronavirus crisis, which causes more deaths daily and is rapidly sinking the economy as swaths of people are suddenly put out of work.
