I’m unspeakably proud to have the opportunity to serve as White House Communications Director for @joebiden. Working for him as VP and on this campaign gave me insight into what kind of capable, compassionate, clear-eyed president he will be and it will be a profound honor to 1/

As we said —one way or another, Joe Biden is taking questions from voters on October 15th!
JUST IN: @ABC News will host a town hall with @JoeBiden moderated by @GStephanopoulos on October 15th. The primetime event will take place in Philadelphia where the former vice president will answer questions from voters.

Jacob Wohl, who brought you all the greatest hits below, is circulating a fake, doctored coronavirus lab test with Joe Biden’s name on it. It’s disgusting under any circumstance -and unconscionable during a public health crisis- to spread misinformation.

What's *not* in @PressSec binder? Not only did the Obama-Biden WH leave Trump a response playbook and an NSC pandemic response office (which he dismantled), but we also launched a program LITERALLY called PREDICT that tracked new coronaviruses in China - which Trump got rid of.

Let’s not forget that amidst an unprecedented economic and public health crisis, @realDonaldTrump couldn’t articulate to @seanhannity — captain of the home team —what his priorities would be in a second term. Because he only has one: himself. Not you, not your family - just him.

I’ve thought a lot about @JoeBiden’s speech tonight. I think there is an incredibly moving poetry to his 2020 campaign to defeat Donald Trump being bookended by him making a personally painful decision that demonstrates to the country and the world just how fiercely he believes in everything he ran on. A hero’s narrative arc by any standard.

I realize this will earn me the ire of many Dems, but…I don’t think that here he’s saying there will be no more elections. I think he is saying I won’t be on the ticket either way, so who cares. Which is hideously damning in its own right, cause this is what the Republican Party has turned itself inside out and shredded its credibility for — to become a stan account for this one awful, narcissistic guy.
Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

Leadership matters.
At the same moment that Trump was refusing to disavow QAnon, Biden on ABC was saying that "when a president doesn't wear a mask, or makes fun of folks like me when I was wearing a mask for a long time, then people say it mustn't be that important." A jarring contrast.

Vance to Megyn Kelly on "childless cat ladies": "Obviously it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats. ... People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance … and the substance of what I said, Megyn — I’m sorry, it is true."

There have been a flood of leaks from Bidenworld over the last few days that have been cowardly - if you believe he cannot win, put your name on it and resign.

I think what Scaramucci is saying is that privately Trump isn’t couching his anger and disappointment about Vance in very delicate terms right now.
Former WH Communications Director @Scaramucci on Trump: "I know the president very well. He’s flailing right now. He hasn't really figured out what punches are going to work...JD Vance isn't living up to the expectations...This was a really bad decision for him"

Donald Trump clearly doesn’t want to take questions from voters - that’s too bad but that’s his choice. Joe Biden is eager to, and we will find a way to do that on October 15th.
JUST IN: @JoeBiden also will not participate in the Oct. 15 debate, his campaign announces. Instead, @KBeds says Biden “will find an appropriate place to take questions from voters directly on October 15th, as he has done on several occasions in recent weeks.”
