Joe Biden joins Jimmy Kimmel to talk cooking, coronavirus, and calling out Trump

"With all that's been going on over the past couple of weeks virus-wise, I feel like we've almost forgotten about the presidential election," said Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday. All elections are important, but the coronavirus pandemic and a severely divisive U.S. president have raised the stakes particularly high this year.

As such, Democratic candidate Joe Biden joined Kimmel via video call to discuss his campaign, how he's social distancing, and Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

"I don't quite understand the lack of willingness to move rapidly and to let science dictate," said Biden, referring to Trump's slow reaction to the pandemic.

Biden also gave a shoutout to the International Association of Fire Fighters Foundation, encouraging people to donate if they can.
