US President Donald Trump’s campaign has claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden lacks firsthand experience compared to the President because he has yet to contract coronavirus. The recent move from Trump’s campaign came after the President announced he tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday. On Monday morning, the Director of Communications Erin Perrine appeared on Fox News. She made the claim that Biden lacked the firsthand experience of having COVID-19 compared to the US President. She was asked by Fox News host Sandra Smith if Trump would change his coronavirus messaging following his hospitalization, she replied and said, “Well, firsthand experience is always going to change how someone relates to something that’s been happening. The president has coronavirus right now”.

Perrine added, “He is battling it head-on, as toughly, as only President Trump can. And of course, that’s going to change the way that he speaks of it because it will be a firsthand experience. He has the experience, now, fighting the coronavirus as an individual. Those firsthand experiences, Joe Biden, he doesn’t have those. Those firsthand experiences are what are going to get President Trump for four more years. So of course he talks about it differently now that he has lived through it”. She also said that the experience of President Trump as commander-in-chief, a businessman, and contracting Covid-19 made him a better candidate than Biden.

Point to be noted that Biden has been tested multiple times in the last week since the President was announced tested positive. Trump campaign was upended last week after top Trump administration aide Hope Hicks tested positive for Covid-19. It is noteworthy that President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both were declared for having the virus on Thursday. It forced the campaign to cancel various scheduled events. On Monday, the White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was the latest to announce she had the novel virus. On Sunday, President Trump went on a drive near the hospital to acknowledge fans and supporters waiting outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.
