Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden warned that Donald Trump's reluctance to accept the 2020 election results could impede the new administration's fight against the coronavirus. It is reported by “Interfax”.
During a press conference in Delaware, Biden noted that the number of victims of coronavirus infection in the United States could be higher “if we do not coordinate our actions.”
Biden said that if you wait until his inauguration, scheduled for January 20, then the plan to distribute the coronavirus vaccine will lag a month and a half, and urged Trump to engage. “It would be much easier if the president (Donald Trump – Lenta.ru Note) was involved,” Biden said.
He assessed the situation in the American economy as “teetering on the brink” and expressed the opinion that its recovery depends on the return of Americans to jobs, which is possible only after the victory over COVID-19. He assessed the situation in the American economy as “balancing on the brink”
In addition, Biden praised Republican governors for demanding masks from their statesmen and criticized Trump's coronavirus advisor Scott Atlas's call to “rebel” against those orders.
On November 7, Democratic candidate Joe Biden won 290 with the required 270 electoral votes. Having secured his victory, he proclaimed himself the president-elect of the United States. Trump, in turn, said that the elections are not officially over yet, and the results will be appealed in court. He believes that Biden was quick to call himself the country's new leader.
