Mike Bloomberg: Joe Biden vs. climate change and the COVID-19 economy

Friend,

A true test of any leader is how they respond in a crisis. This week, Joe Biden showed that he understands what it will take to confront not one, but two urgent crises: climate change and the COVID-19 recession.

The former vice president shared a clean energy and green infrastructure plan that would serve as a powerful remedy against these dual challenges. Learn more about the plan -- and why this is the right moment for bold moves -- in Mike's recent opinion article:

Biden's ambitious vision on clean energy would not only generate meaningful improvements for our health and our planet -- it would also create jobs and economic opportunity at a critical moment.

After years of federal inaction, this is an unprecedented opportunity to get big things done. Joe Biden knows that. And he knows that returning to business-as-usual won't protect America from COVID-19 or the climate crisis.

Check out Mike's thoughts on Biden's clean energy plan today:

Now is not the time. Most voters don’t pay attention until the last couple of months before the election. We are on here all the time discussing it while most people are out there working just trying to get through life or taking care of their families. If you start pissing a lot of money away right now on ads etc, it will have limited effect. Where it really needs to come out is in the last couple of months when we can bombard the voters with great stuff to put Joe over the finish line.

Joe is doing great right right now while Trump steps all over himself which is great. Since Trump is doing a great job digging a hole for himself, far be it from us to get in his way.
