In remarks in Wilmington, Del., on Wednesday afternoon, Joe Biden described the situation facing the country’s schools as “a national emergency” and excoriated President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, arguing that the president has “no plan” for a safe reopening.

At one point, Biden addressed Trump directly, asking, “Mr. President, where are you?”
