Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden slams Republicans and President Donald Trump for the lack of enough teachers in America's schools due to their response to the coronavirus pandemic and budget cuts.
The U.S. economy just posted its largest single-month job gain in history and Biden speaking to the National Education Association Friday via a virtual town hall told the educators 'It's absolutely unacceptable" the country does not have adequate number of teachers.
As Joe Biden responded to questions on what's needed to tackle racism in the U.S., he spoke to the revelation that many Americans are beginning to realize that essential workers who have been on the frontlines of this pandemic are minorities.
He said this has created "inflection points in America, where something happens. And a big change needs to occur."

Biden said that the country is "going to change in a big way" following the death of George Floyd on May 25 after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee against the handcuffed Black man's neck for nearly nine minutes.
""I think the public is ready -- it's like they had their blinders taken off, like, oh, my God, this really happened. It's really this way," he said.

When asked about uniting the country if he became president, Biden said: I think we're facing a serious threat. We have to meet it as one country. This president gives us no direction.and pits us against one another. We can't go on like this nation."
