I may not like Biden, but respect to him not just going for the low blow like a lot of other people are.

As anyone should. Doesn’t matter if you’re left or right, saying someone shouldn’t do well with covid is wrong

[ethanrobbins]

It’s sad that basic human decency is now considered “refreshing.”

[railfanlynx]

No matter what you say: this is how good men act

[bhampatty]

Finally! A little common decency and humanity in this crazy out-of-control world of politics!

[almond]

even after all that Trump has done to Biden such as insulting his son and mocking his every word, Biden still tries to be nice and wish the man well. He is a great man

[debraeichman]

Really hope Joe continues to test negative for COVID-19.

[cubeflame]

I may not like either candidates but this is truly a good move

[yxz]

No matter who ur gonna vote, u gotta admit, this was a lovely response

[pigs]

Remember when this was just common decency and not headline worthy?

I respect Biden for that. Despite his opponent's hostile nature, it is always professional and respectful to wish them well. Kudos to him

[JesseLatourrette]

No one gonna wish for safety of the guy who had to clean up president trumps podium at the debate? I hope he/she will be fine.

[hannahlong]

anybody should do this, doesn’t matter if your right or left. kindness and human decency will always matter more than politics.

[ChrisParayno]

Definitely stepping up and reminding us we how to act as a citizen.

[Ricciotrance]

Biden’s “basement” campaign wasn’t stupid after all.

[b.a.sofficialchannel]

We gotta start normalizing treating people right again 🤷🏽‍♂️💯

I would bet my house that Trump would make fun of Biden in his Rallies if the shoe was on the other foot.

[clarejohnson]

That’s because he has class. Never would Trump wish anyone well unless it somehow benefited him. Truth

[LyonzDen]

I am not a fan of Kamala or Biden, but would wish them well if they were in our President's shoes. Hoping for a speedy recovery. #Trump2020
