Former Vice President Joe Biden changed his Twitter and Facebook avatars to a picture of him wearing a mask as his campaign seeks to contrast his cautious approach to the coronavirus with President Trumps more lax attitude toward using a personal mask in public.
Wearing masks has emerged as the latest partisan flashpoint during the pandemic, with Trump making a number of appearances without wearing one and a handful of Republican lawmakers in Congress shirking recommendations to do so, while Democratic lawmakers largely don the coverings.
Biden has been quarantining in his Delaware home and wore a mask to a Memorial Day ceremony on Monday in his first public outing in weeks. Biden and his wife put on matching black masks at a local veterans memorial in Delaware.
Trump, who did not wear a mask this week when he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, said Tuesday that he found it unusual that Biden wore a mask. "Biden can wear a mask, but he was standing outside with his wife, perfect conditions, perfect weather. They're inside they don't wear masks," Trump said at the White House. "And so I thought it was very unusual that he had it on. But I thought that was fine.
I wasn't criticizing him at all. Why would I do a thing like that?"
