Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Former Vice President and likely Democrat nominee for president Joe Biden criticized President Trump over his response to the coronavirus pandemic.
On Saturday, Biden said the virus is not the president’s fault but he blames President Trump for failing to prepare the country for it.
Here is Biden’s tweet on Saturday.
Donald Trump is not responsible for the coronavirus, but he is responsible for failing to prepare our nation to respond to it.

President Trump responded to Biden’s comment during the White House press briefing.
The president accused Biden of not writing the Tweet or watching the briefing, saying, “He doesn’t write. He’s probably not even watching right now.”
Biden continued his criticism of President Trump on ABC News’ “This Week.”
On “This Week,” Biden said President Trump moved too slow and he lacked a sense of urgency.
Biden mislead the nation when he claimed President Trump cut the budget for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Joe Biden AGAIN falsely claims President Trump cut the CDC's budget.
An AP Fact Check said that's "wrong." In fact, the CDC’s "financing has increased" under Trump.
Plus, under VP Biden, the White House proposed cuts to CDC’s funding 5 out of 8 years. https://t.co/MVvgeFwter pic.twitter.com/Ewpa4o56s8

Biden also mislead viewers by not admitting the Obama administration failed to build up the supply of masks.
“We did a lot to prepare,” Biden tells @gstephanopoulos when pressed on whether the Obama admin should have “done more to prepare” for a potential pandemic.

Team Trump did the fact check on Biden.

Biden, like many Democrats, is trying to exploit the coronavirus pandemic for political gain.
Unfortunately, “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos did not challenge Biden on his inaccurate and misleading statement.
And speaking of the media, CNN’s Jake Tapper used his show to criticize President Trump.
.@jaketapper directly addresses Pres. Trump: “The American people … need someone to explain what is going to be done to get us out of this. It’s a moment that requires leadership. It requires honest information. It requires empathy and it requires a plan. Do you have one?” pic.twitter.com/9tmWWjE3FH
