Former Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that President Donald Trump should “just be quiet” about the new coronavirus and suggested that the president’s use of inaccurate information in discussing the outbreak has caused stocks to plummet.
Biden told NBC Nightly News that his campaign is “going to follow the recommendations of the experts” and that he would consider canceling some rallies if needed.
Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday admitted his vote for the Iraq War “was a mistake” and said he “wanted to prevent a war.”
“The threat was to go to war. The argument was because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, so he said that ‘I need to be able to get the security council to agree to send in inspectors to put pressure on Saddam to find out whether he’s producing nuclear weapons.’ At the time, I said, ‘that’s your reason, alright, I get it.'”
Biden clarified again that the “rationale was not to go to war,” but the events that unfolded were not what he had expected.
