As Trump Rages And Pats Himself On The Back, Biden Reaches Out To ICU Nurse Battling Coronavirus



The coronavirus outbreak in the United States has altered the way this presidential campaign has been conducted over the past two months, but that hasn’t stopped Joe Biden from using whatever tools he has to connect with people.

According to new reporting from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Biden reached out to an intensive care nurse using Zoom, and the two spoke for nearly an hour.

“He was so compassionate and so caring and just really, really took the time to listen,” ICU nurse Monica Watry said of Biden, according to the report. “We video chatted for over 45 minutes, and then he called my cellphone right afterward and talked to my kids and talked to my husband, and he just really took the time to hear us.”

More from the Journal Sentinel:

Watry said Biden listened as she talked about the stress and fear facing her and other health care workers as they cope with an onslaught of coronavirus patients and deaths, and the toll her long hours at work has taken on her family.

“I admire the hell out of what you’re doing,” Biden told her during the chat.

…

Watry said she’s been “very tired and very overwhelmed,” but praised her call with Biden as “very refreshing.”

“To have a personal video phone call from the former vice president and future president was phenomenal,” she said in the interview. “It was amazing.” - PoliticusUSA

Winning the hearts and minds of people who are true to American values.

Get well nurse Monica Watry. You're in our thoughts.



This will be devastating to republican hopes when word spreads of their personable one on one zoom meeting.

So I can only assume that touching personal interest stories aren't as juicy as what tRump or tRump TV have lined up for people to digest on daily.

Let the horse race false equivalencies begin in the run-up to the election.

6. And as well as the support that gives, it shows what his priority is - people's health

whereas the Tangerine Nightmare squatting in the White House has one priority - getting re-elected. So he concentrates on PR and media manipulation, and only makes decisions for the welfare of the nation as an afterthought, if it looks like something that will help his polling numbers.
