...COVIDDemocratic presidential pick Joe Biden has removed negative political ads involving his opponent President Donald J. Trump as a direct response to his COVID-19 diagnosis. The news followed Trumps emergency airlift to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment.
The decision was made before the White House released word that Trump was going to Walter Reed, according to multiple sources.
Bidens campaign tweeted, This cannot be a partisan moment. It must be an American moment. We have to come together as a nation.

Hospital / Covid / Old fat man, combo, Biden did the right thing. Many other projects have his back, he can look Presidential.

Why kick a dog when he's down?
This move shows Joe's decency and tells the voters that he and Trump can be at odds, but only one of them is fit to be President.
