Good judgment to vote for Biden

It’s so easy as Election Day approaches to reduce the presidential race to a battle of personalities. Suspend that argument and consider policies.

The coronavirus: Trump’s response, motivated by politics and his re-election prospects, has left America vulnerable and in crisis. He has propagated misinformation, resulting in chaos.

Health care: After failing in his efforts to repeal it through Congress, Trump is trying to get the Affordable Care Act struck down. Doing so would leave 20 million without insurance. Biden will build on the ACA, making the system less complex to navigate and expanding coverage to more people.

The economy: Trump, largely because of his failed response to the pandemic, has plunged America into the worst recession in a century. Biden will create millions of good-paying jobs, spur public-private investment in small business, mobilize manufacturing and innovation, and advance a clean energy agenda.

Trump’s policy debacles have set America on a backward trajectory. Biden is strategic, collaborative and proven, and will renew our position as a moral and economic leader.

Biden says the soul of our nation is on the ballot. So is our good judgment. Please give Joe Biden your vote.
