Mark Shields:
I think Joe Biden has handled it well.
I mean, you can feel his mounting frustration, a greater sense of urgency as time goes by, and the enormous task confronting him and his administration. They're being robbed of the chance just to consult, Judy, just to consult with the people who have been there, who are there, who are working.
I mean, it's — the Republicans' mantra during impeachment, you will recall, was, let's wait until the election. Let's let the voters decide. Let's let them cast their ballots.
Well, they have done that, and it's time to accept it.
I acknowledge Governor Romney's, Senator Romney's leadership. Lamar Alexander on — after three terms and his retirement, did make a statement today. And Ben Sasse has, in fact, shown some independence.
But that's three. That's three. And I'm — I'm still waiting for the leadership to move on it and stop pretending. I mean, this is a fantasyland we're living in. But it's a dangerous fantasyland. And we're playing with people's lives; 258,000 Americans are dead because of this pandemic.
And the president seems — he just seems consumed with his own ego, his own vanity.
Think about this, Judy. If he were really even shrewd, he would be large-spirited and magnanimous right now, and do everything he could, and take credit, an earned credit for his administration, to produce a vaccine in eight months, nine months. It's an amazing achievement.
