Biden calls on Trump to appoint coronavirus 'supply commander' [View all]
Former Vice President Joe Biden is calling on President Trump to appoint a "supply commander" to oversee the distribution of medical supplies during the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden, who is running to unseat Trump in November, argued the president has put in place a faulty system to coordinate the country’s response to the virus, forcing hospitals and states to bid against each other to obtain critical protective gear.
"This public health crisis is foremost a human crisis, but it is also a crisis of supply, logistics and distribution," Biden said in a statement Saturday. "States, hospitals, and health care providers should not have to bid against one another, or against the federal government to get the supplies that they desperately need."
The former vice president said a supply director is needed to ensure the safety of front-line workers combating COVID-19 and unveiled his own plan to send materials to states and territories.
