Biden: Economy remains at risk until Trump 'faces what's going on in this country'

Former Vice President Joe Biden tore into President Trump Thursday over his response to the coronavirus, saying that while millions of jobs returned last month, the economy will remain in dire straits until he beats back the pandemic.

Speaking via livestream from his home in Delaware, Biden noted that roughly 50,000 new coronavirus cases were tallied Wednesday, a new high in the pandemic that Trump did not address.

"Until this president faces what's going on in this country, the economy will remain at risk," said Biden. "Today's report is positive news, and I'm thankful for it. But make no mistake: we're still in a deep, deep job hole because Donald Trump has so badly bungled the response to the coronavirus."

The broadside against Trump came in response to a new report from the Labor Department showed that the economy added 4.8 million jobs in June and the unemployment rate ticked down to 11.1 percent last month.

Per the 4.8 million being touted remember the old blues lyrics, "Been down so long bottom look like up."
