Candidate Joe Biden campaigned on the promise that he was going to lead the battle to defeat the coronavirus. Little did Candidate Biden know that President Biden would not only be fighting the virus, he’d also be fighting Republican governors undermining medical professionals.
According to Politico, the White House is reconfiguring the gameplan because of the interference those governors have produced and the increasing number of infections from new virus variants. Instead of defeating the virus, as Candidate Biden campaigned, the new tact will be to manage its impact.
“We have the tools to protect people from severe illness from Omicron — if people choose to use the tools,” Biden said in an address to the nation Tuesday. “For God’s sake, please take advantage of what’s available.”
