Biden on Thursday unveiled a massive economic plan that he described as the way out of a wave of crisis for which he said President Trump “threw in the towel.”.

Biden said at an event in Dunmore, Pennslyvania.

Biden said his plan would turn a trio of crisis — the coronavirus pandemic, economic downturn from the government-mandated shutdown and racial justice upheaval — into an opportunity to reshape America.

“Each of these also presents a tremendous opportunity for the nation, an opportunity to prepare now for the future threats we know are just around the corner, an opportunity to address fundamental inequities in our nation,” Mr.

Biden said.

“It’s an opportunity to finally and fully live up to the words and the values enshrined in our founding documents of this nation — that we are all created equal or are entitled to be treated equally for the rest of our lives.

Biden also promises another round of coronavirus spending on top of the nearly $3 trillion Congress already put on the federal credit card in response to the crisis

Biden’s play for higher ground on the economy is an attempt to hit the president on one of his strongest issues jobs and promises of manufacturing, arguing the president has delivered on infrastructure or healthcare campaign promises in four years

The former vice president also attacked the president on his handling of not only the pandemic but escalating racial tensions in the country, saying he’s intent on only dividing the country further
