Biden casts Donald Trump as chaotic and woefully unreliable in moments of crisis, such as the coronavirus pandemic.
At a moment when the coronavirus pandemic has shaken the country's faith in government and frequently rendered Joe Biden's candidacy a lonely pursuit, his campaign is emphasising what would happen after the election - were he to win - more so than what he will do in the nearly seven months of campaigning before the November vote.
Voters "need reassurance delivered in specific information," said Henry Muñoz, a former Democratic National Committee finance chairman and an informal Biden adviser. "The best form of leadership is a person who is willing to surround themselves with diverse, strong voices."The strategy is also driven by the practical problem of mounting a campaign in the era of the coronavirus.
Biden, speaking at a virtual fundraiser, said on Thursday that he has started constructing a presidential transition team, a process he said has been underway for several weeks.Discussions are in progress about the prospect of elevating some White House offices to Cabinet-level positions, Biden said.
In contrast with the vision of firm leadership that the former vice president is seeking to put forward, Trump and his allies are casting Biden as shaky and unprepared, and calling attention to his verbal stumbles. "No more late night television Sleepy Joe!" the Trump campaign tweeted this week, with a clip of Biden appearing to look down at his notes during a long-winded comment on CNN.

'Australia's relationship with China is under constant review': Bishop | Sky News AustraliaFormer foreign minister Julie Bishop says “Australia’s relationship with China is under constant review” and the world will likely be “very different when we pass through this pandemic”. \n\nWhen asked if Australia’s relationship with China was damaged by tne COVID-19 crisis, Ms Bishop said “I think it’s too early to see how nations are going to come through this” but said she expected there would be “changes in power structure”. \n\n“I know there is growing concern about the global concentration of supply chains,” she said. \n\n“I am sure many nations will be looking to diversify and perhaps bring a greater domestic focus on supply chains, manufacturing and the like. \n\n“And that could of course change the balance of power, change the composition of the economy for many nations around the world.” \n\nCoronavirus aside, Ms Bishop said Australia’s relationship with China was one which “requires a great deal of nurturing, management and a building of trust”. \n\n“We are very strong economic partners, but we have very different perspectives on the world,” she said. \n\nImage: AP
