President Trump said he is "absolutely" willing to discuss with former Vice President Joe Biden how the federal government ought to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.
During a Wednesday White House press briefing on the coronavirus, President Trump extended an opportunity of bipartisanship to Biden, saying he would "love" to speak with him about mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
"Oh, absolutely. I'd love to speak to him, sure," Trump said. "I always found him to be a nice guy. I don't know him very well, frankly. But I think he's probably a nice guy. No, if he'd like to call, I'd absolutely take his call."
Presidential aide Kellyanne Conway blasted Biden on Wednesday morning for criticizing the president during the coronavirus pandemic. “Why doesn’t Vice President Biden call the White House today and offer some support?†Conway said. “I have to tell you, we’re not talking about politics here at the White House at all. We’re talking about ventilators and vaccines, not Biden and Bernie. There’s really no time for that, but it’s very disappointing when you see the criticism.â€
