Sanders’ coronavirus plan went further than Biden on some measures, including an immediate moratorium on all evictions and foreclosures, as well as the construction of new homeless shelters.
He also proposed guaranteed unemployment insurance for anyone who loses their job through no fault of their own — a concept that appeared more aggressive than Biden’s pitch to relax the current rules around unemployment benefits.
“During a crisis, we must make sure that we care for the communities most vulnerable to the health and economic pain that is coming,” Sanders said. “The coronavirus is already causing a global economic meltdown, which is impacting people throughout the world and in our own country — and it is especially dangerous for low-income and working-class families.”
The Trump campaign attacked Sanders’ plan as the „wrong prescription“ for fighting coronavirus.
„He’s just another Democrat candidate for president trying to score political points by recklessly provoking anxiety and fear,“ said Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh.
