https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/25/coronavirus-elizabeth-warren-trump-117452<snip>
Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday pounded the Trump administration for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, accusing the White House of absolutely bungling its response to the disease as officials warned a major increase of cases in the U.S. is inevitable and as some in the administration fear the crisis could threaten the reelection of President Donald Trump.
In a slew of tweets posted just a few hours before the Massachusetts Democrat faced off again with her rivals in the latest presidential primary debate, Warren accused Trump of putting our public health and our economy at risk, arguing the crisis is proving why we need a real plan and an adult in charge.
Warren then went on to explain what she would do about the outbreak as president, while issuing a point-by-point rebuke of where she says the Trump administration is tripping up building on a policy plan her campaign rolled out in late January for containing and treating coronavirus and other infectious diseases.
Warrens rebuke of the outbreak response comes as the senator fights to reinvigorate her presidential bid after a string of disappointing finishes in the first three 2020 primary states.

So much for Warren being way ahead of the other candidates.

But all he has to do is give one semi-adult performance at a press conference a few weeks later to set the media lackeys swooning.
