You can't have it both ways.
If Democrats do take back both the White House and the Senate, as they stand a real chance of doing, the most important decision they will face in the short term is how to confront the coronavirus pandemic, which will still be ongoing to at least some degree.
Based on the attacks they have leveled against President Trump, they don't have the slightest clue what they would do differently, nor can they keep their story straight about what Trump has done wrong.
On the one hand, Democrats have repeatedly bashed Trump for not doing enough to stop the pandemic.

“Look, it’s all over the world, you have a lot of great leaders, a lot of smart people it’s all over the world,” he said, adding: “It came out of China. China should --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
